Chu Li's prowess had spread like wildfire at the top of the Grandmaster's Boundary. He was another Song Wuji who was even more ferocious than the original Song Wuji. The speed of his advancement and the strength of his martial arts were comparable to those old monsters.
To be able to fight against two or even a few Great Asuras alone was truly shocking.
If he was an Enlightened Master, he would have become a dazzling star that shone through the entire Grandmaster's Boundary. He would be sought after by many and become the target of countless forces.
However, Chu Li's identity was too awkward as he was the least controlled by the Grandmaster. The Elders Guild was extremely afraid of him so none of the top forces dared to win him over as they did not want to offend the Elders Guild.
There were many Enlightened Masters in the Grandmaster's Boundary but these Enlightened Masters had been in the Grandmaster's Boundary for more than a thousand years. After thousands of years, they all belonged to the Grandmaster's Boundary and had families and descendants. Each of them had their own forces and were a controllable force.
Chu Li, on the other hand, was all alone and uncontrollable.
If there was no way to control such a powerful force, once it went out of control and destroyed, there would be disastrous consequences and huge losses. Therefore, they were cautious and did not dare to win him over for fear of causing trouble.
"I've agreed to let Chu Li enter the White Dew Clan!" Song Chengzhi narrowed his eyes and said lightly.
The air in the hall suddenly froze and became colder.
The round-faced elder said, "Clan Leader, please reconsider. Chu Li has no attachments and can run back to the Lower Realm at any time. What if he has bad intentions towards us and runs back after causing trouble? What can we do?"
"Chu Li is not such a heartless person." Song Chengzhi shook his head. "From what I know, Chu Li is a person who values relationships."
"According to the Elders Guild, Chu Li is extremely resentful towards the Celestials and the Grandmaster's Boundary." The thin elder said, "It's very likely that he will find a chance to take revenge on the Grandmaster's Boundary!"
This was also why the Elders Guild of the Grandmaster's Boundary was wary of Chu Li. They felt that he was a hidden danger and they did not know when he would explode.
Song Chengzhi frowned. "Of course I know."
"Then how can you win him over, Clan Leader?" The round-faced elder quickly said, "This is a huge problem. We, the White Dew Clan, can't bring trouble upon ourselves!"
"It's a problem but it's also an opportunity." Song Chengzhi scoffed.
The two old men immediately fell silent.
All of them knew the situation the White Dew Hall was in. They were about to head to the Outerealm Slaughter Grounds to fight the Asura, and they'd already lost a great amount of manpower. If this continued, then the entire army would probably be in danger of being annihilated.
They were in urgent need of manpower, but everyone knew that the White Dew Hall was a place to die. No one dared to come, so they couldn't recruit anyone. The Rain Master Hall was one of the Nine Divisions. It was originally a place where people fought to get in, but now everyone was avoiding it like a snake or a scorpion.
Every time they thought of this, their hearts burned with anxiety.
However, the two Elders believed that no matter how anxious they were, they should not cause chaos because of anxiety. Chu Li was a huge problem. If he suddenly rebelled, it would be even harder for the White Dew Hall to raise their heads under the internal and external troubles.
Song Chengzhi said, "Chu Li might hate the Grandmaster, but he's even more furious at the Asuras. The Great Asuras have been hunting him down. Do you think he wouldn't fight to the death if he encountered the Asuras in the foreign battleground?"
"This …" The two old men pondered.
The grudge between Chu Li and the Asuras was not even worth mentioning compared to the Grandmaster. He had already killed too many Asuras, it was practically a death grudge. Perhaps the Asuras' hatred for Chu Li was even greater than the Grandmaster's.
Now, the Asuras' top priority was to kill Chu Li, and they kept sending Great Asuras. They were already desperate. In order to kill Chu Li, they had already lost dozens of Great Asuras.
Song Chengzhi scoffed. "Let's get through this first. If we can't survive the next big battle, who cares if Chu Li will cause trouble?"
"Sigh …" The two old men shook their heads and sighed.
Although there were still two months before they would go to the foreign battleground, looking at the situation, it was impossible for anyone to come.

The next morning, when Chu Li was cultivating, Song Lin came over and prepared to open the hall.
When Chu Li and Song Lin arrived at the White Dew Hall, it was filled with people. Almost all of them were Rank-1 masters.
With a glance, Chu Li saw a total of one thousand six hundred and twenty-two people, a total of one thousand Rank-1 masters, and the rest were Rank-2 masters.
He was secretly speechless. He did not expect Rank-1 masters to be so worthless. He thought they were rare. Fortunately, there were not that many Supreme Masters, so they were still very valuable. Otherwise, the Grandmaster's strength would be too shocking.
Under everyone's gaze, he slowly walked to the front of the hall. Song Lin fist saluted and said, "Clan Leader, Deputy Clan Leader, Chu Li is here."
"Come in!" Song Chengzhi said in a low voice.
Chu Li stepped into the hall and fist saluted.
There were only three people standing in the hall. Song Chengzhi and two old men stood in front of a white jade statue that was as tall as a person, looking at him solemnly.
This white jade statue emitted a warm luster, and its face was lifelike. It was a middle-aged man in high spirits, thin and handsome, staring at him as if he was still alive.
Chu Li stood at the entrance of the hall. He could feel the pressure coming from it even from afar. This statue was really carved by a master. It contained a huge aura, as if a Supreme Master was standing in front of him.
Song Chengzhi said in a low voice, "This is a commandment set by the first Clan Leader of the White Dew Clan. This commandment is not to kill each other, or else the entire White Dew Clan will kill you!"
Chu Li fist saluted and nodded.
Song Chengzhi said, "Chu Li, I won't hide it from you. In two months, the White Dew Clan will enter the foreign battlefield to fight against the Asuras. It's very dangerous. If you regret it, you don't have to join the White Dew Clan!"
Chu Li said without hesitation, "Clan Leader, this is exactly what I want. I want to kill the Asuras the most, but I've always regretted not being able to find their lair. If I can't find the Asura Boundary, it'll be best if I can kill them!"
Song Chengzhi smiled, and so did the other two Deputy Clan Leaders.
Song Chengzhi said, "In that case, you're determined to join the White Dew Clan?"
"Yes," Chu Li said in a low voice.
"Good, from today onwards, you'll be a true disciple of the White Dew Clan. No matter what your previous identity was, from now on, you're a member of the White Dew Clan," Song Chengzhi said slowly.
As he spoke, he took a jade tag from the side and handed it to Chu Li, "This is the White Dew Clan's identity tag. With this, you can sense the disciples of the clan within a hundred miles. Use this to ask for help or help your fellow disciples."
Chu Li took it with both hands and kept it in his arms.
The jade was only the size of a silver coin. Rather than calling it a jade tag, it was better to call it a jade pendant. It was very suitable to be worn around the neck. It was cool to the touch and contained a powerful force. One look and anyone could tell that it was a treasure.
Song Chengzhi said, "This identity tag is a treasure. With it, you can obtain power and save your life in a critical moment."
Chu Li looked at him in shock.
Song Chengzhi said, "Through this tag, you can absorb the power in this statue. Your inner energy will not dry up … Also, the power in this statue is accumulated by everyone. You can inject it through the jade tag."
Chu Li took out the jade tag and looked at it again.
Song Chengzhi said, "That's why you must keep this jade tag well. Don't drop it. Try to inject your inner energy into the jade tag."
Chu Li nodded and injected a wave of inner energy into the silver coin sized jade tag.
