"Are we that bad?" Xue Luoyu scoffed.
Chu Li shook his head. "My aptitude is average. It's understandable that Taihao Peak doesn't like me."
"Hmph, you're the first person to comprehend the Heaven's Scroll of Indifference in thousands of years. Taihao Peak doesn't like your aptitude. They're really …" Xue Luoyu sneered and said with jealousy and mockery, "Fortunately, one of them is your wife and the other is your confidante. Interesting!"
She pursed her lips and chuckled.
Chu Li did not know how he felt when the two women got together and became fellow disciples. He must have been panicking beyond belief.
Chu Li sighed in relief. It seemed like Xue Luoyu did not have high hopes, so he was not too disappointed.
"Are you going to isolate yourself because you're afraid they'll catch up?" Xue Luoyu asked.
Chu Li nodded.
Xue Luoyu said, "Alright, I'm going to isolate myself too. You go ahead."
Chu Li did not expect her to agree so readily.
Xue Luoyu noticed his hesitation and scoffed. "Father will be out soon to guide me in my cultivation. He'll be concentrating on his cultivation for a while and won't have time to go out. You can go isolate yourself."
Chu Li smiled.
Xue Luoyu grinned. "Are you worried?"
"I'm fine." Chu Li was a little uneasy.
He knew what Xue Luoyu was joking about.
He should be worried when Xiao Qi and Sun Mingyue got together.
Fortunately, the two girls had extraordinary breadth of mind and wouldn't fall out with each other. They would only compete in secret and cultivate diligently. This was actually a good thing for them to improve.
Both of them had a temperament of having no desires. Xiao Qi had always been indifferent and quiet. Now that Sun Mingyue had been relieved of the heavy burden of being the bishop, she had completely relaxed. She was no longer as ambitious and ambitious as before, so she needed this kind of competition.
"Aren't you afraid they'll fight?" Xue Luoyu asked.
Chu Li shook his head. "No."
"You have a good eye for women," Xue Luoyu said. "Many people will be jealous!"
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
Xue Luoyu said, "But it'll be embarrassing if a man like you can't compare to the two women. You'll have to isolate yourself."
She fully understood Chu Li's urgency to isolate himself. He wanted to improve his strength so that his women would not surpass him and protect his dignity as a man. She would not stop him or they would become enemies.
Moreover, he had already made such a great contribution, it was time for him to take a break.
Chu Li gave a fist salute in gratitude.

He silently left the Demon Suppressing City and entered the foreign battleground.
Through Wu Yuansi, the Great Celestial Demon, he knew that it was easy to get out of the Demon Suppressing City but difficult to enter. It was far less heavily guarded than he had imagined. If one wanted to enter the extraterrestrial battlefield, they would turn a blind eye to it. If one wanted to die, they could do so at will. However, if one wanted to enter the Demon Suppressing City, there were layers upon layers of defense.
From time to time, there would be daring Celestial Beings, or Celestial Beings who were obsessed with wealth, or Celestial Beings who pursued the path of power, would sneak into the foreign battlefields to temper themselves, improve their cultivation and vision, and break through bottlenecks.
The extraterritorial battlefield was opened to sects other than the Nine Divisions once every ten years. Apart from that, the sects' disciples were forbidden from going to the extraterritorial battlefield. However, the sects' personal behaviors were not very strict.
Chu Li easily left the Demon Suppressing Town and entered the extraterritorial battlefield. His entire body tensed up as he hurried into the distance.
On the way, he passed through nine mountain ranges.
Once he entered the extraterritorial battlefield, he could not shift through the void. An invisible force had locked the void, so he could not travel at will. He could only use his Light-body Technique to move quickly. His feet were almost off the ground as he sped forward as if he was stepping on two rings.
This was the magical effect of the Heavenly Demon Hoop. His energy seemed to be sealed and formed into rings that were solid, which made his body movement technique extraordinarily fast.
Under the observation of the Omniscient Mirror, he avoided bystanders in advance. Some were Heavenly Demons, while others were Celestial Beings. Occasionally, he saw Heavenly Demons and Celestial Beings fighting, but he did not attack. He simply avoided them and walked forward.
Ten days later, he finally passed through the extraterritorial battlefield and arrived in front of a towering city.
This huge city was five times the size of the Demon Suppressing City. The architectural style was simple and magnificent. Whether it was the houses or the streets, they were vast and mighty. It was completely different from the exquisite and luxurious buildings in the Grandmaster's Boundary.
The prosperity and liveliness of the city far surpassed that of the Demon Suppressing City.
The Demon Suppressing City was the first barrier against the Heavenly Demons. Deep down, the citizens were worried. Unless they had no other choice, they would not stay in the Demon Suppressing City. It was too dangerous.
The huge city of the Heavenly Demons in front of him was called Distant Wind City. It was extremely prosperous.
The Heavenly Demons seemed to treat the extraterritorial battlefield as a treasure. The Heavenly Demons who came to the extraterritorial battlefield were all excited. Distant Wind City was also a city full of opportunities.
The Heavenly Demons were humans. The residents of Distant Wind City were no different from the Celestial Beings. The clothes they wore were mainly simple and plain. They were not as luxurious and exquisite as the Celestial Beings. Chu Li soon had a feeling that the Celestial Beings lived in the city while the Heavenly Demons lived in the villages. It was a lot more backward.
It was easy to enter Distant Wind City. He directly flashed his waist tag, and the city guards waved their hands and let him in.
These city guards had high cultivation levels. They had reached the first rank. They wore dark armor and looked solemn. Their bodies were full of murderous intent.
After Chu Li entered the city, he first walked around the streets. He walked through the bustling crowd and felt the liveliness and vitality of the place. It looked no different from the Grandmaster's Boundary.
At this time, he was dressed in a green robe and had transformed into a handsome young man. It was Wu Yuansi's original appearance.
Wu Yuansi had become a Great Heavenly Demon in his twenties. He was a famous young talent.
In the evening, he did not look for an inn. Instead, he went straight to a majestic house.
In front of the house, there were two stone statues of strange beasts. They looked ferocious and were full of murderous intent.
Chu Li saw blood clouds floating above the two stone statues. It was as if dark clouds were shrouding them. It was obvious that these two stone beasts contained a huge amount of energy. They were the pivots of a formation.
Two young men stood beside the stone statues. When they saw Chu Li, they were stunned. They quickly gave him a fist salute. "Senior Brother Wu!"
Chu Li nodded and strode inside.
One of the young men ran ahead to report.
Just as Chu Li went around the screen wall, he saw a middle-aged man with two young men rushing out to greet him. He gave him a fist salute and laughed. "Junior Brother Wu!"
Chu Li gave him a fist salute and used the Omniscient Mirror to observe him. He said, "Senior Brother Pu."
This middle-aged man was called Pu Yuantu. He was the courtyard master of this side courtyard. In the Flying Heaven Sect, he was considered Chu Li's senior brother. He was not a master. They were just peers.
Pu Yuantu had thick eyebrows and big eyes. He walked with a majestic aura. He was smiling as if he was very happy.
Pu Yuantu laughed. "Junior Brother Wu, you're finally back. Congratulations!"
"I'm back. Senior Brother Pu, you must be disappointed," Chu Li said.
"Haha, Junior Brother Wu, what are you saying!" Pu Yuantu laughed and shook his head. "I'm more than happy. Please come in!"
He turned around and led the way. They arrived at the martial arts field. There were more than twenty people training there. When they saw Chu Li, they stopped and gave him a fist salute.
Chu Li walked with his hands behind his back. He looked calm and did not return the greeting. He went straight into the main hall.
Pu Yuantu followed him into the main hall. He sighed. "Junior Brother Wu, you're too impulsive. You don't know how worried we were. Fortunately, you came back safely."
Chu Li said, "They couldn't wait for me to not come back."
"You're going to disappoint everyone," Pu Yuantu hurriedly said.
Chu Li waved his hand. "Forget it. It's boring to talk about this. I'll stay here for a night and return to the sect."
