Seeing this, Song Zhifan secretly vented his anger.
As the Bishop, he could not do as he pleased. He had long been filled with anger, but he could not let it out. Moreover, he had to pretend to be magnanimous and tolerant. Because they were sent by the Founding Master, they had to be respectful, or else it would be disrespectful to the Founding Master.
However, these people were too much. They were all arrogant and unruly, as if he was a pile of sh * t and did everything wrong. It was as if they were the only ones who were right.
Although their mouths called him Cult Master, their eyes revealed that he was only a young lad who did not understand anything. His mouth was hairless and he could not do things properly. Whatever he did was not appropriate and he needed their guidance.
He detested this sort of contempt the most. Especially because their existences had damaged his dignity as the Sect Master. It was like he'd become the Sovereign Sect's Master. If they really were the Founding Ancestor, then he would endure it. After all, the Founding Ancestor was wise and mighty.
However, they were just people sent by the Founding Master to assist him. Yet, they were so arrogant. They were originally servants, but they became masters!
He wanted to teach them a lesson, but he could not. Otherwise, if the news spread to the Founding Master, or if he beat them away, he would be in trouble. Unfortunately, there was no one who could do it for him.
Lu Jun was considerate, but he was dull and could not understand his thoughts. Even after he hinted twice, he still did not take action.
Bai Li Na was the most comfortable one. He just came back and he went against these old people.
It didn't matter if Baili Na's cultivation base wasn't strong enough. As long as he dared to fight back, he would damage the dignity of these four Devas, forcing them to restrain themselves a bit. Moreover, they could also use this opportunity to help Baili Na, help Baili Na block a bit, and show off their power to these four guys.
Since he could not fight, he had to let them know their place. Naturally, he had to show off his power.
He lightly removed the injuries in Chu Li's body with his palm. Then, a warm force entered his body and circled around his body. His internal organs quickly recovered. It was a miraculous effect.
Chu Li turned to look at Song Zhifan and sighed. This skill was really superb and not inferior to him.
He closed fist saluted and said, "Thank you, Bishop."
Song Zhifan waved his hand and said, "Bai Li Na, don't be so presumptuous in front of Senior Guo!"
"Sect Master is wise!" Chu Li gave a fist salute and said, "It's not that I'm being unreasonable, it's just that this Senior Guo is being ridiculous. Initially, Temple Leader Fan only needed to say the word to join the Heaven's Punishment Hall, and even the Bishop had agreed to it. What kind of position does this Senior Guo hold to be able to reject the Bishop's order?"
Guo Zhangjing's electrifying gaze swept across Chu Li, then glanced at Song Zhifan's right hand that was pressing on Chu Li's shoulder. He calmly said, "I'm the third-generation Heaven's Punishment Hall Leader of the Longevity Church. If I were in the Grandmaster's Boundary, I wouldn't care about the Heaven's Punishment Hall. Since I'm back in the Church, I naturally won't allow this to happen!"
"Ah, so you're the former Palace Leader of Heaven's Punishment Hall. I apologize for my disrespect …" Chu Li gave a fist salute and shook his head. "As the saying goes, one should not meddle in politics if one is not in a position. Since Senior Guo has already stepped down from his position, Palace Leader Fan will now be in charge of Heaven's Punishment Hall. It's not Senior Guo's place yet!"
"What a sharp tongue!" Guo Zhangjing snorted.
With a cold snort, he once again used the Musical Assassination Technique.
Song Zhifan had expected this, so he kept his palm pressed on Chu Li's shoulder and channeled his inner energy into it. As soon as the Musical Assassination Technique entered Chu Li's ear, his inner energy immediately sped up and quickly neutralized the energy that was drilling into his ear.
Chu Li only felt a gentle force protecting his body, preventing him from being hurt by the cold snort. He became even more unscrupulous as he scoffed. "I don't deserve Senior Guo's praise. I'm just speaking the truth. Even if Senior Guo has a high position and is experienced, you can't go beyond reason and the church's rules. My entry into the Hall is not against the church's rules, and I've also received the bishop and the Palace Leader's approval. I really don't know why Senior Guo is stopping me. Could it be that Senior Guo doesn't trust the bishop and the Palace Leader's decision?"
"… Good! Good! "Guo Zhangjing sneered." I've really underestimated you! "
Chu Li gave a fist salute. "I'm ashamed. My personality has always been like this. I say whatever I want to say and I can't hide it!"
"Bishop, do you really want him to enter Heaven's Punishment Hall?" Guo Zhangjing turned to look at Song Zhifan.
Song Zhifan let go of Chu Li's shoulder and chuckled. "Senior Guo, you've tested him out too, haven't you? Although Baili Na is still inexperienced and his cultivation level is still passable, his personality and way of doing things are indeed suitable for Heaven's Punishment Hall! "
He cursed in his heart. He could only give this old man a way out of this embarrassing situation, but it seemed like he would not be able to back down.
Guo Zhangjing's expression cleared up. He sized Chu Li up with his electrifying gaze and slowly revealed a smile. "Not bad, seeing you in person is indeed better than hearing about you by reputation. This Baili Na is indeed suitable for Heaven's Punishment Hall!"
Chu Li quickly smiled. "So it was Senior Guo who tested me out. I really fell for it. I'm so stupid, I'm ashamed!"
Guo Zhangjing waved his hand and looked at him meaningfully. He let out a light smile. "You have such guts and courage. You dare to offend anyone in the Church. You're indeed a qualified disciple of Heaven's Punishment Hall. It's the blessing of the Church of Longevity that Heaven's Punishment Hall can grow stronger. Congratulations, Bishop!"
Song Zhifan sighed in his heart. This old man's cultivation was deep. His expression did not change and others could not tell if he was telling the truth or not. He gave a fist salute and smiled. "Thank you, Senior Guo!"
Guo Zhangjing took a step back and said, "The auspicious time is here. It's time to enter the hall!"
Song Zhifan secretly cursed him for being cunning.
His actions really made it hard for others to tell the truth from the lie. Even Chu Li himself was doubting if he was really testing him and not purposely obstructing him.
Chu Li then made the Enlightened Oath in front of everyone. Baili Na would be loyal to Heaven's Punishment Hall for life. Otherwise, his soul would be destroyed and he would never be able to reincarnate.
Chu Li got lucky and only swore in the name of Baili Na.

When Chu Li returned to the courtyard, Lu Jun came back with him. He looked at the black robe in Chu Li's hand and smiled. "Quick, change into it."
Chu Li smiled and entered the house to change into the black robe. He walked around the courtyard. Lu Jun looked at him and praised him. He felt that he was very impressive.
This set of black robe was extremely powerful, giving Chu Li a slightly more dignified and dignified aura. Anyone who saw him could not help but feel a sense of inferiority and discouragement.
Chu Li revealed a proud expression.
"Elder Baili, you're too reckless today!" Lu Jun shook his head and sighed.
Chu Li brewed tea and the two sat next to the red clay stove.
"I can't not be reckless." Chu Li shook his head. "If I didn't talk back to him, I wouldn't have become a disciple of Heaven's Punishment Hall. I can't believe he's the former Lord of Heaven's Punishment Hall!"
"So what if he's the former Lord of Heaven's Punishment Hall!" Lu Jun scoffed. "You said it yourself. Don't meddle in other people's business after you've retired."
Chu Li nodded. "Lord Fan must be very angry."
"Hehe, you didn't see the expression on the Lord's face. He looked like he was really going to kill someone!" Lu Jun shook his head. "But you went against Old Man Guo. You won't end up well. Be careful, he'll definitely cause you trouble!"
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. "He's a senior. He won't do that, right?"
"He's a vengeful person! You better not run into him or he'll definitely make a move," Lu Jun said in a serious tone.
Chu Li nodded slowly.
Lu Jun smiled. "But no matter what he does, he won't take your life. At most, you'll suffer some physical pain."
Chu Li smiled. "He won't find an excuse to kill me, will he?"
