Zhong Jinghua grew more disgusted with Chu Li.
In her opinion, Chu Li was too selfish. For his own selfish desires, he did not care about Sun Mingyue's future. He only cared about himself and not Sun Mingyue. A man like Chu Li was not worthy of Sun Mingyue.
Her heart sank and she glared at Chu Li. "So, you won't let go?"
Chu Li shook his head. "No."
"Then don't blame us for being ruthless." Zhong Jinghua said coldly. "Don't regret it. Do you really think that you're the world's number one master in the Lower Realm and that you're invincible and fearless in the Outland?"
Chu Li turned to look at Sun Mingyue. "You should go back first."
Sun Mingyue said, "Forget it, you should leave."
Chu Li looked at her in shock.
Sun Mingyue sighed. "I can't just watch you fight with Surpassing State. Whether you win or lose, it'll be a failure. If you win, what will the other disciples of Surpassing State think of me? If you lose, will I have to fall out with Surpassing State? "
Chu Li nodded slowly. "You're right."
Zhong Jinghua smiled. "Mingyue, you're indeed a leader. You're decisive. When it's time to give up, you'll give up!"
Sun Mingyue said, "Master's Junior Zhong, if Surpassing State makes things difficult for Chu Li, I'll leave. The Outland is big, there'll be a place for us!"
"Don't worry." Zhong Jinghua smiled. "As long as you let go, why would we make things difficult for him?"
Sun Mingyue looked at Chu Li and sighed. "Looks like our fate ends here. We'll meet again in ten years. If you still remember me, we'll meet again here."
"Have you really decided?" Chu Li frowned. "Are you really going to give up your feelings for the sect?"
"Yes." Sun Mingyue said, "Feelings are illusory and can change at any time. Only the sect and the future are fundamental. I don't want to be a sect leader, but I want to work hard to improve my martial arts. I have no distractions. I hope you can fulfill my wish."
"If that's the case, I'll fulfill your wish." Chu Li nodded slowly. "I wish you a bright future."
He turned to look at Zhong Jinghua. "Senior Zhong, Mingyue wants to focus on Isolated Cultivation and can't meet other men. Can your sect stop her?"
"Of course." Zhong Jinghua said, "We will spread the news that Ming Yue is in closed-door cultivation and will not see anyone."
Chu Li calmly replied, "Even those big shots."
"Don't worry, no one can force our Light Surpassing Realm!" Zhong Jinghua said, "Ten years later, if your feelings are still there, I won't stop you!"
Chu Li slowly nodded and said, "Then let's wait and see! … If your esteemed sect goes back on your word, then don't blame me for pestering you endlessly. After all, I can freely travel between the Realm Beyond Heavens and that world. "
Zhong Jinghua's face darkened. She was extremely displeased with Chu Li's threat.
However, when she thought about how depressed Chu Li must be right now, she could not be bothered to argue with him. She scoffed and said, "Although I'm a woman, I can keep my promises. Don't worry, you should leave now!"
Sun Mingyue looked at him deeply and sighed, "Let's meet again in ten years."
Chu Li took a deep look at Zhong Jinghua and then at Liang Yueying. Suddenly, he let out a long laugh and turned into a stream of light before disappearing into the distance. However, his laughter did not stop and was deafening.
Zhong Jinghua's face darkened. She furrowed her brows and looked in the direction where Chu Li disappeared.
Liang Yueying's face turned pale and she swayed slightly.
Sun Mingyue gently supported her and channeled some inner force into her to calm her surging blood and chaotic inner energy.
Liang Yueying looked in the direction where Chu Li disappeared with lingering fear. She turned her head and said, "Junior Sister Sun, he has such a cultivation level!"
She did not expect Chu Li's cultivation level to be so profound and unfathomable. Just his laughter had caused her blood to surge and her inner energy to go into chaos. She could not resist at all. If they were to really fight, she would not be able to withstand a single move.
She looked at the gloomy Zhong Jinghua and knew that Master's Junior Zhong must be in a bad mood.
Light Surpassing Realm would undoubtedly offend Chu Li.
She did not expect Chu Li to have such a profound cultivation level. Once he went against Light Surpassing Realm, it would be a big problem. Master's Junior Zhong must be regretting that her words were too harsh and direct. She was not tactful enough.
Sun Mingyue said, "Master's Junior Zhong, don't worry. He won't harm us. He still has that much magnanimity."
Zhong Jinghua forced a smile. "I didn't expect him to be so powerful."
Chu Li had been circulating the Life and Death Scripture, so his cultivation level was only ten to twenty percent of his appearance. This laughter was a warning. If Light Surpassing Realm went back on its words, he would not be polite.
Sun Mingyue said, "He deserves the title of the world's number one. It's rare in the world. Back then, he killed almost all the Great Asuras."
"If you didn't use the Indiscriminate Destruction Technique, would he have been able to kill them?" Zhong Jinghua asked with a frown.
Sun Mingyue shook her head. "If I wasn't there, he wouldn't have been trapped by the Great Asuras. It wouldn't have been difficult for him to kill them alone. I'm the one who got him into trouble."
"I see …" Zhong Jinghua nodded slowly. She then calmed herself down and said, "Forget it. No matter how powerful he is, we can't count on him. We still have to rely on our own disciples from Light Surpassing Realm. Mingyue, we're counting on you. It'll be best if you can become the sect leader."
Sun Mingyue smiled faintly. "Master's Junior Zhong thinks too highly of me. I'm innately weak and can't become the sect leader. Master's Junior Zhong, it's best if you can dispel this idea as soon as possible so that you won't be too disappointed."
"Why are you innately weak?" Zhong Jinghua was displeased. "With your qualifications, you were once the leader of a religion. You're the best candidate to be the sect leader."
Sun Mingyue replied, "I'm someone from the Lower Realm. That alone is enough to cut off all hope."
"No one said that the sect leader can't be someone from the Lower Realm!" Zhong Jinghua scoffed.
Sun Mingyue smiled and did not refute.
Zhong Jinghua gritted her teeth. "We're going to make an exception. So, Mingyue, you must work hard."
Sun Mingyue looked in the direction where Chu Li had disappeared and shook her head with a smile.
Zhong Jinghua said, "I'll immediately announce that you're in isolated cultivation for a long period of time. You won't meet outsiders. Mingyue, are you really going to cultivate in isolation?"
"Of course," Sun Mingyue replied.
"That's good." Zhong Jinghua nodded. "Let's go. Let's go back early."
"Yes." Sun Mingyue and Liang Yueying followed her into the mountain range on the opposite side and disappeared from Light Surpassing Realm.

Chu Li sat in his bedroom in a small courtyard. There were four azure Star Stones in front of his knees. Under the moonlight, they emitted a hazy blue light like the stars in the sky. It made people want to stare at them.
After staring at them for a while, Chu Li slowly closed his eyes and the Omniscient Mirror began to flash.
As time passed, the four Star Stones suddenly turned into four rays of blue light and shot between Chu Li's eyebrows, disappearing in a flash.
The four rays of blue light entered his mind and appeared in the void of his mind. The round mirror in the sky suddenly flashed and welcomed the four rays of blue light.
The blue light entered the mirror and began to flicker continuously. The blue light completely covered the surface of the mirror.
The Heavenly Star Insight Technique circulated in his mind. The blue light slowly converged and completely entered the round mirror. Then, the surface of the mirror became clear and bright. It was faintly discernible as if it was about to completely merge with the void of his mind.
