If things were that simple, Chu Li could just kill everyone who opposed him and take control of Crouching Bull Mountain. He would not have to go through so much trouble and effort. People's hearts were complicated and could not be solved by force.
He needed loyal subordinates, not dissidents. Force could only be used for deterrence and prestige. It could not be a method. The most important thing was still benefits. It could let people see a bright and glorious future.
Compared to the Heavenly Demonic Sect, the Crouching Bull Mountain had greater potential. He needed the power of the Crouching Bull Mountain. It was an orthodox sect that was open and aboveboard. There was no need for them to act sneakily. They could calmly face all challenges and strengthen themselves. They could accept challenges from all directions and become a top sect.
Chu Li fist saluted. "Elders, I will spend two hours every day to talk about martial arts. All disciples are welcome to listen."
"Young Master is going to talk about martial arts too?" The two were instantly interested.
They knew that the young master was a genius. He learned all of his skills by himself. Qiao San was the only master who initiated him. The hill master's dislike of him caused him to be ignored.
To be able to cultivate all of his skills on his own, he was definitely a genius. His comprehension must be amazing. It was even more amazing than the two elders. If he could talk about martial arts, it would be more beneficial to everyone. This made them excited.
Chu Li said faintly, "Let everyone see who's more powerful, the two seniors or me."
"Alright!" The two were overjoyed. They fist saluted and left.
When they reached the door, Xia Liyan said, "Young Master, let's start today. How about lunch?"
"That's great." Chu Li nodded.
The two left immediately. They were afraid that Chu Li would change his mind.
Qiao San stood aside and asked, "Young Master, are you really going to talk about martial arts?"
"Of course." Chu Li nodded.
Qiao San smiled. "This is a good tactic. It can win people's hearts. It's very important for you to inherit the hill master's position."
Chu Li scoffed. "Those two old men are dead. Let's see who can still oppose me!"
It was supposed to be a smooth process for him to inherit the hill master's position. However, these two Celestials just had to get involved. He naturally wanted to kill them and would not allow them to mess up his plan.
"Young Master, you killed them well!" Qiao San smiled.
Chu Li glanced at him. "You're not satisfied without taking revenge yourself, right?"
"No, no." Qiao San waved his hand and said, "I know my own limits. I'm no match for them. After all, they are Celestials!"
Chu Li nodded in satisfaction. "Your ability to escape is not bad. You have to be more careful in the future. I will have a lot of enemies!"
"Don't worry, Young Master. I don't dare to boast about other abilities, but I'm definitely capable of escaping!" Qiao San patted his chest.
Chu Li smiled and nodded.

After lunch, everyone gathered at the martial arts arena.
There was a high platform in the middle of the training field. At this moment, the platform was empty, but there were already a thousand people sitting cross-legged below the platform, surrounding it.
Crouching Bull Mountain was indeed showing signs of resurgence. The entire mountain was filled with vitality, as if the sun was rising from the east.
Everyone sat below the stage and whispered to each other.
"The Young Master wants to talk about martial arts. Is it alright? The Young Master isn't much older than us."
"Young Master is about the same age as us. What about his cultivation?"
"Young Master killed two seniors with a single strike. With such cultivation and sword techniques, if we could learn even two or three of them, we would be able to dominate the world."
"All in all, this is a good opportunity."
"I'm just afraid that the Young Master didn't cultivate the Crouching Bull Insight, but sword techniques."
"Don't worry, the Young Master is a genius."
Zhu Ziyou and Qin Zhao had already won their hearts and were deeply grateful. However, now that the two were dead, they immediately turned to Chu Li. After all, the two's foundation was still shallow. They were also forgetful and remembered grudges.
Xia Liyan, Murong Chun, and a few other higher-ups were sitting behind them. They listened to the whispers and discussed in low voices.
"Senior Brother Xia, will the Young Master be alright?" Murong Chun asked.
Xia Liyan scoffed. "Although the Young Master is young, his martial arts are strong. Don't underestimate the Young Master."
"Sigh …" Murong Chun shook his head. "The Young Master has poked a little too much this time."
He was not worried about this side. The entire Crouching Bull Mountain was under the control of the Hill Master. Although the Young Master had caused trouble, as long as the others did not strongly oppose it, he could suppress it. However, there was one side that could not be suppressed, and that was the Surpassing State.
The Elders of the Surpassing State were not so easy to deal with. Because of a disagreement, the Young Master had killed two seniors who had contributed greatly to Crouching Bull Mountain. Especially the two seniors, who were the most important, they were also seniors.
If the Young Master treated the two seniors this way, and they were seniors who had contributed greatly to the mountain, what about the Elders? Would he do the same to them? Would he kill them because of a disagreement?
Once such an overbearing Young Master took control of Crouching Bull Mountain and became the Hill Master, who would learn to speak loudly? Would they have to swallow their anger and be extremely docile?
The Elders were used to being free and unfettered. The Hill Master almost did not care about them, and they could not stand such an overbearing Hill Master.
Therefore, Murong Chun could predict that the big trouble was yet to come. The Elders of the Surpassing State would not let it go, and they would definitely do everything they could to stop the Young Master from taking over the position.
However, if the Young Master did not kill the two seniors directly, the trouble would be even bigger. The two seniors had shocking rallying power. Once they incited all the disciples to oppose him as the Hill Master, the situation would be set, and the Hill Master would not be able to suppress it.
If he were the Young Master, he would only have one way out. He had no other choice.
Suddenly, a green shadow floated down from the sky. It floated like a cloud and landed lightly on the high platform. It was Zhuge Tian, who was disguised as Chu Li.
Chu Li glanced at the crowd, his gaze like lightning.
Everyone felt their bodies tense up, and their hair unconsciously stood on end. The pressure of a mountain hit them in the face.
Chu Li said, "Everyone, I am honored to talk about the Crouching Bull Insight today."
Everyone nodded hurriedly.
Chu Li said, "Everyone may have heard of the Crouching Bull Insight, but everyone has a different understanding. Today, I will talk about my own understanding. It would be best if everyone can understand something."
He paced with his hands behind his back, his gaze calm. "The Crouching Bull Insight, most people only know that the bull is a green bull, a powerful spirit beast, so they know that the Crouching Bull Insight is powerful."
Everyone nodded.
Chu Li shook his head and said, "But everyone, there is another explanation for this bull. It is stubbornness, the nature of the heart."
Everyone was stunned, and they quickly pricked up their ears.
Chu Li said, "The Crouching Bull Insight is the most taboo for using too much strength. It is the lightest heart technique, but I see that most of you have cultivated the bull's strength, and you see the Crouching Bull Insight as competing with the green bull."
Everyone was shocked, and they could not help but start discussing in low voices.
Chu Li continued, "If this path doesn't work, then change to another path. If another path doesn't work, then change to another path. Don't be stubborn in one direction, or else you will be using too much strength. … Everyone, do you know how strong the green bull is? No matter how strong a person is, it is impossible to go against it, so you can only use clever strength. … But everyone, you see the Crouching Bull Insight as a Herculean Technique, and you train your strength with all your might. You think that cultivating the Crouching Bull Insight will make you stronger than the young people. What a joke! "
