The elder saw his smile and felt that it hurt his eyes. He said coldly, "You don't believe it?"
Chu Li shook his head. "Of course I believe it. The Grandmaster is supreme. I'm just an Enlightened Master."
"It's good that you know." The elder said coldly, "It seems like you're a sensible person. Why did you do such a thing?"
He pointed at the hundred Grandmasters on the ground and shook his head. "How can the Grandmaster forgive you?"
Chu Li said, "The Grandmasters are fearless because they can ascend to the Grandmaster. They even dare to kill an Enlightened Master like me. If I don't kill them, they'll think that I'm afraid of them. If I don't destroy their bodies and souls, how can the dignity of an Enlightened Master remain?"
The elder frowned and stared at him.
Chu Li said, "The dignity of an Enlightened Master is not to be blasphemed. This is the truth everywhere. Can Enlightened Masters be treated as they please in the Grandmaster?"
"About that …" The elder hesitated.
This was indeed a problem.
The status of an Enlightened Master was extremely high. Even if they ascended to the Grandmaster, the status of an Enlightened Master was still exceptionally high. It was far beyond the average Celestial Being. That was because an Enlightened Master had greater potential and would definitely achieve greater things in the future.
Even an Enlightened Master who died young was far beyond the average Celestial Being.
Chu Li said, "The dignity of an Enlightened Master is not to be blasphemed. The actions of these Celestial Beings are no different from encouraging the Grandmasters to rebel against the Enlightened Master. The dignity of an Enlightened Master is gone. The people are not afraid of death, so how can they be afraid of death? These Grandmasters are not afraid of death. To them, an Enlightened Master is nothing. No matter how powerful they are, they're just helping them ascend to the Grandmaster!"
"About that …" The elder frowned.
He deeply agreed with it. Because he was originally an Enlightened Master, he was able to become a Rank One Celestial Being. He was also very protective of the dignity of an Enlightened Master.
Chu Li scoffed. "I don't know what the Grandmaster is thinking. They let these Celestial Beings act so recklessly and cause chaos in the world. The Enlightened Master has completely lost control. He's a mere figurehead. What's the point of being an Enlightened Master?"
"The Grandmaster has its own considerations." An elder beside him said, "As the Enlightened Master of this world, you should be in awe of the Grandmaster!"
"I'm in awe of the Grandmasters." Chu Li nodded. "But I can't be in awe of the things these Celestial Beings have done!"
"We will report this to the Realm Beyond Heaven." The old man from before said in a deep voice, "But what about this? Zheng Xilai is a Heavenly Deity, how can you destroy his body and soul?! "
As he spoke, he pushed his palms forward. Suddenly, a strange light fell on Zheng Xilai's head.
Chu Li smiled faintly.
The light circulated for a long time before it was extinguished.
The faces of the three old men darkened.
A Grandmaster's soul was very useful, but compared to an Enlightened Master, it was not worth mentioning. An Enlightened Master was equivalent to tens of thousands of Grandmasters, or even hundreds of thousands.
Without the soul of Zheng Xilai, the Empyrean Realm Master, it was no different from losing a first-grade Celestial. It was a great loss.
Even when fighting with Asura Realm cultivators, it was rare to lose a Level One Celestial, but they had lost one here. How could they not be angry?
Chu Li calmly asked, "Seniors, do you know where this is?"
"Where?" The old man from before said in a deep voice.
Chu Li pointed to his surroundings. "This is the Zheng Dynasty's military camp, and they've set up a military formation. Zheng Xilai set a trap for me to come in and kill me. Within the military formation, he can manipulate the inauspicious energy, and the three of you should know how harmful the inauspicious energy is to the soul!"
He could beat one, two, or even three Level One Celestials, but he could not beat ten or even twenty. Moreover, he had to guard against the Grandmasters attacking his friends and family.
Therefore, he would drag it out and ease it if he could. No matter how dissatisfied he was with the Heavenly Deities, he needed to deal with it in a more rounded way. He could not blindly kill. Killing was only a means, not the end. In the end, he still had to maintain peace in the world.
"So, Zheng Xilai is up to no good?" The old man from before said in a deep voice.
Chu Li said, "He wants to destroy my body and soul, so I naturally have to pay him back in his own coin. Otherwise, how can I deter others?"
"Hmm, it makes sense." The three old men frowned and slowly nodded.
If it was them, they would do the same. If the other party could do it, they could do it too. They could not be soft-hearted. There was no problem with Chu Li's way of doing things, but unfortunately, it was an Enlightened Master who died.
Chu Li said, "Seniors, are you here to condemn me?"
"That's not it." They shook their heads.
If they really wanted to kill Chu Li, it would not be just the three of them.
Chu Li nodded. "Seniors, you can report my thoughts to the Grandmasters. If the Grandmasters need manpower, why would they involve innocent people? I have an idea. "
"What idea?"
"Hold a Martial Arts Circle Convention, or even a Martial Arts Circle Convention every year." Chu Li said calmly, "If the Grandmasters can give three Enlightened Masters or a huge reward, the people of the martial arts world won't work hard, and the Grandmasters won't work hard."
The old man in the middle thought for a while and nodded. "Hmm, that's a good idea."
Chu Li said, "This way, it can stimulate the people of the martial arts world to work hard, and it won't involve innocent people. It's killing two birds with one stone. It's much better than creating a mess and giving the Asuras an opportunity!"
"Alright, I'll report your idea later." The old man in the middle nodded. "But Chu Li, you have to be careful. You can let it go this time, but if you do it again, there will be punishment!"
Chu Li fist saluted.
The three old men looked at each other and leaped up, instantly turning into three rays of light that shot into the sky.
A light gate vaguely appeared in the sky and slowly became clearer. The three rays of light rushed into the light gate, and then the light gate slowly disappeared.
Chu Li felt the murderous intent coming from the Divine Gate.
It was obvious that many people wanted to kill him, but they did not have the chance to come.
Chu Li looked at the direction where the Divine Gate disappeared. He felt that the Divine Gate had always been in a certain place, and it was not wandering.
He turned his head and looked around. The army outside the tent was still practicing. The sound of killing was endless, and the killing intent was shocking.
However, with Zheng Xilai dead, the army's military spirit was gone, and they were not as big of a threat. He held back the urge to kill and kill all the soldiers, and rushed into the sky, directly to Saint Peace City.
In Saint Peace City, a dazzling ray of light descended from the sky and landed in the Imperial House.
Chu Li entered Saint Peace City and went straight to the Imperial House. He saw a young man standing on the high platform of the Imperial House in the light pillar, his body bathed in clear light, and his aura was constantly rising.
The Enlightened Master's Field gradually formed, and he was already an Enlightened Master.
The new Enlightened Master had already been conferred, and it was almost complete.
The young man was handsome, and quite similar to Zheng Donglai. He was burly and strong, different from Zheng Xilai's thin and elegant appearance.
A group of guards and maids knelt below the high platform, shouting, "Your Majesty!"
Chu Li frowned and looked at the young man. His eyes were determined, and his expression was calm. He was not an easy character to deal with. It seemed that Zheng Dynasty was prospering, and there were a few outstanding people.
It was a pity that they met him. They were born at the wrong time.
The light pillar slowly disappeared, and the young man stepped on the void and looked down at the crowd. He said calmly, "You may rise!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The crowd shouted.
An old guard came forward and presented a bright yellow dragon robe. "Your Majesty, please change!"
"There's no hurry." The young man waved his hand and said, "You may all leave. Let Old General Hu come over!"
