He melted into the void and disappeared without a trace.
Chu Li shook his head. "His Majesty is really impatient."
"Be careful, he might do something desperate." Lu Yurong frowned and said, "I didn't expect him to hate you so much. He can't wait to get rid of you. If he doesn't succeed this time, he won't give up."
"What other tricks does he have?" Chu Li asked.
Lu Yurong pondered and said, "They will probably join forces with Meng Xiaoqi … The Celestial Beings hate you to the core. Meng Xiaoqi will find a few Celestial Beings and they will definitely be able to work together. If the two groups join forces, can you handle them?"
"We really have to be careful," Chu Li said seriously.
Lu Yurong sighed, "I didn't expect the late Emperor to be killed so easily."
Even now, she still found it hard to believe. Leng Wufeng was a cold and emotionless monarch, he was cunning and very difficult to scheme against, yet he was besieged by celestials and had no choice but to ascend to heaven.
Chu Li said, "Our current Emperor is an impatient person."
Lu Yurong was stunned and looked at him.
She was smart enough to understand the hidden meaning behind Chu Li's words.
Chu Li sighed. "I hope I'm wrong."
"It can't be, right?" Lu Yurong frowned at him, "No matter how rebellious he is, he wouldn't do something like this."
"Who exactly is Meng Xiaoqi? Any news?" Chu Li asked.
Lu Yurong nodded lightly, "The leader of the Demonic Blade Sect, and the Leng family was originally from the Demonic Blade Sect."
Chu Li was surprised.
Lu Yurong said, "The ancestor of the Leng family was originally a disciple of the Demonic Blade Clan. The student surpassed the master and eventually conquered this land. It could be said that he was a genius. The Demonic Blade Clan had disappeared for thousands of years, but they did not go extinct. They trusted the leader of the Demonic Blade Clan deeply."
Chu Li laughed. He had guessed wrongly.
"I don't think Meng Xiaoqi would do something like that. After all, Leng Wufeng is a disciple of the Fiend Blade Sect."
"That might not be the case." Chu Li shook his head.
He felt that there was something fishy about Leng Wufeng's death. It was really difficult for outsiders to surround and kill him. After all, Heavenly Deities were extremely sensitive to danger. Even if Celestials wanted to surround and kill him, they would not be able to block his senses, unless it was a trap set by someone close to him.
If Leng Shouren was in danger, Leng Wufeng would intervene even if he sensed that something was amiss.
Lu Yurong frowned. "Do you want me to check?"
"Forget it." Chu Li sighed. "Since we've already ascended to the Grandmaster's Boundary, if Leng Shouren really did it, Leng Wufeng will come after him when we reach the Grandmaster's Boundary. He won't be able to escape."
Lu Yurong said, "That will be many years in the future."
A Heavenly Deity had been in this world for sixty years. Who could remember the things that happened after several decades? No matter how deep the hatred was, it had already pretty much dissipated. Moreover, this was between father and son.
Chu Li said, "This is a bad start. The Grandmasters won't just stand by and watch, will they?"
"The Realm Beyond Avalon might not necessarily care so much." Lu Yurong shook her head and said, "Let's just pretend we don't know anything about this. If we really dig it out, he will definitely take revenge crazily. Besides, this is just a guess."
"That's the only way." Chu Li nodded. "Will they go against the Imperial Residence of King An next?"
"Based on my understanding of him, he will definitely continue to attack." Lu Yurong nodded firmly.
Chu Li sighed. "How troublesome. If it really doesn't work, I'll have to get rid of him."
"If he dies, the Ji Dynasty will be in turmoil." Lu Yurong frowned. "Xu An ascended the throne in a hurry?"
Chu Li thought about it and slowly shook his head.
Based on Xu An's current cultivation level, he would not be too strong after becoming an Enlightened Master.
Once an Enlightened Master became an Enlightened Master, he would become a public enemy. Without a strong cultivation level, he would really be bullied everywhere. It would be better to not be an Enlightened Master.
Lu Yurong said, "Then we still have to keep him."
Chu Li could only nod. "… Follow me to Goddess Attraction Mountain."
"I'm not going to Isolated Cultivation." Lu Yurong said.
Chu Li frowned. "The world is in chaos now. Asuras are rampant and there are Celestials who do whatever they want."
"I have the ability to protect myself." Lu Yurong said.
Chu Li scoffed. "It's not like you don't know how powerful Asuras are. The Asuras from the Grandmasters are even stronger. They can even kill Enlightened Masters."
"If I leave, what about the High Duke's Public House?" Lu Yurong shook her head.
Chu Li was tied down by the High Duke's Public House and so was she.
Chu Li did not force her. "Alright then. Once you see an Asura appear, call me immediately. Don't try to deal with them by yourself!"
"… Alright." Lu Yurong nodded helplessly.
Chu Li waved his hand as a farewell and disappeared.
The next moment, he appeared at Goddess Attraction Mountain.
After observing with the Omniscient Mirror, he found Master Zhou Dunli sitting quietly in the basilica like an old monk. Dong Jianxin sat motionless in front of him. Dong Jianxin was solemn.
Chu Li entered the basilica and closed fist saluted.
"Chu Li, you're here." Zhou Dunli opened his eyes and so did Dong Jianxin.
Chu Li came to sit beside them and smiled. "Master, why do you have time to come back? Isn't the Grandmasters in a mess?"
"Hmm, it seems like you know a little." Zhou Dunli said.
Chu Li saw his serious expression and smiled. "Did something big happen?"
Zhou Dunli said, "Chu Li, I'm going to heaven."
Chu Li was startled and shook his head. "Master, don't tell me you're going to pass on the position of Hill Master?"
"Yes." Zhou Dunli nodded.
Chu Li's smile faded. "Did something happen?"
"I need to focus on dealing with the Grandmasters." Zhou Dunli said, "The situation is not good."
"Now that you can go too, there's nothing big here." Chu Li said, "It's okay to go both ways, right?"
"It's not the same." Zhou Dunli said, "As it is now, I can only use half of my strength in the Grandmasters. Only when I step into the Grandmasters will I be able to use my full strength."
"Then pass it on to Senior Brother." Chu Li said, "I'm only one step away from becoming an Enlightened Master. I don't want to be apotheosized."
"You …" Zhou Dunli sighed. "Jianxin is not suitable for apotheosized now."
Chu Li said, "Master, can you improve Senior Brother's cultivation level through the Enlightenment Technique?"
"It's difficult!" Zhou Dunli shook his head.
Chu Li smiled and said, "I've seen many methods of empowerment. For example, the Ji Dynasty's Crown Prince has now become the Emperor, and Fa Yuan from the Tempest Temple can greatly increase their cultivation level through empowerment. From there, they can become the Imperial Emperor and become a God."
"Enlightenment is not a foolproof method." Zhou Dunli sighed, "The risks involved are hard to predict. Not to mention, not everyone can withstand the power of empowerment. You need to be strong enough to receive the empowerment. Humans are like tools. Everyone has a limit. Once the limit is exceeded, the empowerment is equivalent to killing."
Chu Li said, "Senior Brother can't withstand Enlightenment?"
"Even if he received Enlightenment, it would be difficult for him to reach your level." Zhou Dunli shook his head. "Now that we're in chaos, without a strong enough cultivation level, it's easy to become an Enlightened Master."
Chu Li smiled bitterly. "Master won't say that I have to become an Enlightened Master, right?"
Zhou Dunli nodded slowly.
Dong Jian said, "Junior Brother, the bigger picture is more important. You can already kill Enlightened Masters with your current cultivation level. Once you become an Enlightened Master, how strong will you be? You'll be invincible!"
