Chu Li looked at Huang Heming calmly. He stood with his hands behind his back, his black robe fluttering in the wind.
Huang Heming staggered a few steps after he landed. His face was flushed but quickly returned to normal.
He took a deep breath and closed fist saluted. "Senior Brother Wu, good martial arts!"
Chu Li said, "Your Flying Demon Technique is not mature enough."
"Yes, I just joined the sect not too long ago. Otherwise, I would be on par with Senior Brother Wu!" Huang Heming said seriously. "Looks like Senior Brother Wu really had a fortuitous encounter."
He could feel that Chu Li's control of inner energy was exquisite. The speed of the changes was beyond his imagination. It was not something he could compare to. This was the purity of inner energy. There was no shortcut. It was also a reflection of talent.
Although he had cultivated the Flying Demon Technique, his cultivation level was high, and his moves were exquisite, it was a pity that he was not mature enough to be proficient in them. Moreover, after learning the moves, how to use them was also a matter of talent.
In this aspect, his talent was far from Senior Brother Wu's. He could have made up for it with hard work, but it seemed like it was not enough. Otherwise, he would not have been unable to withstand a single move.
The surrounding people widened their eyes in disbelief.
At first, they felt pity for Huang Heming. They thought that no matter how powerful Wu Yuansi was, it was all in the past. Ever since he left the Flying Heaven Sect to seek revenge, his cultivation must have been delayed. He had been surpassed by Huang Heming.
Moreover, Huang Heming had entered the Templar to cultivate the Flying Demon Technique. Wu Yuansi was no match for him.
In the end, he defeated Huang Heming in one move. They did not expect that.
Chu Li glanced at the people who had their eyes wide open. He nodded and turned to leave.
The crowd dispersed, but the news spread quickly. The news of Wu Yuansi's improvement in martial arts and his defeat of Huang Heming in one move spread throughout the Flying Heaven Sect in the blink of an eye.
Chu Li arrived at a small courtyard halfway up the mountain.
This was his small courtyard. Wu Yuansi relied on the scene in her mind to look down at all the small courtyards through the Omniscient Mirror and found his courtyard. After entering, he noticed that it was very clean inside.
He pushed the door open and stepped in. Soon, he felt a sense of familiarity. Everything in the courtyard was so familiar. It was the same as what he saw in Wu Yuansi's mind.
He sat down in the courtyard and activated the Omniscient Mirror to observe his surroundings, carefully observing the situation in the Flying Heaven Sect.
A large sect with tens of thousands of people was not something that could be seen through in a short period of time. He first looked at the surrounding small courtyards, and then looked at the main hall on the peak. Unfortunately, it was blocked by an invisible force, and he could not see the situation inside the main hall.
This Flying Heaven Sect was larger than any other sect he had ever seen. It had more disciples, and its atmosphere was strict. There were many things that he had to be wary of, so he had to be careful with his words and actions, lest he violate taboos and bring disaster upon himself.
After sitting for a while, a young man knocked on the door and said, "Senior Martial Brother Wu, Elder Lu invites you."
"Alright." Chu Li stood up and opened the courtyard door. He nodded at the young man outside. "Junior Brother Qin, let's go."
He secretly felt lucky. Fortunately, his Omniscient Mirror had become more powerful now, allowing him to break into the minds of these disciples. Another reason was that no one in the sect was vigilant and did not carry any treasures with them. Unless their cultivation level was far higher than his, they would be able to see through their minds.
Following the young man, they arrived at a courtyard at the peak of the mountain.
Although it was abnormally cold, the surroundings were still lush and did not show any signs of snow. Chu Li deduced that there was something strange about this mountain peak of the Flying Heaven Sect.
"Elder Lu, Senior Martial Brother Wu is here," the young man said in a low voice.
"Come in." A low and hoarse voice was heard.
Chu Li pushed the door open and walked in. He passed through the courtyard and arrived at the main hall. He lifted the thick curtain and found the inside of the house as warm as spring. An old man with white hair and a beard was sitting in an armchair in the north. He had a square face and looked dignified and upright.
"Master's Junior Lu." Chu Li fist saluted.
He knew the identity of this old man. He was Elder Lu Yifu of the Flying Heaven Sect.
Lu Yifu had always been known for his strictness. He was upright and old-fashioned and did not allow for the slightest mistake. Otherwise, he would be reprimanded or punished. This made all the disciples fear him. They were cautious when they saw him, as if they were walking on thin ice.
Lu Yifu was tall and thin, but his frame was huge. He looked like a sick tiger as he sat in the chair, giving off an intimidating aura.
"Have you taken your revenge?" Lu Yifu asked in a low voice.
Chu Li nodded slowly. "I've killed him."
"Very good." Lu Yifu said, "At least I didn't go there for nothing. How about the Grandmaster?"
His eyes were bright as he stared at Chu Li.
Chu Li hesitated for a moment before sighing. "It's very prosperous and lively. It's also very attractive. I almost forgot about my duties there."
"Why did you come back?" Lu Yifu smiled. "Many who go to the Grandmaster never return. They think it's better there. They go for decades and don't return. It's almost like they've become Celestials."
Many Heavenly Demons yearned for life in the Grandmaster and never returned. Even if it was not considered a betrayal, they had left the Heavenly Demonic Boundary and were in an awkward position. The Heavenly Demonic Boundary had always wanted to deal with these weak-willed people, but there was no good way to do so.
Chu Li said, "It's more lively and prosperous there. It's more convenient and comfortable, but no matter how good it is, it's not home. I'm just a passerby. It's more comfortable to return to the sect. I got into trouble, so I came back."
"What trouble?" Lu Yifu frowned.
Chu Li said, "I worked with a Dancing Butterfly Sect disciple to steal the Great Light Scripture, but I was discovered."
"You escaped as soon as you saw something was wrong. Very good." Lu Yifu nodded in approval and pointed at a chair on the lower left.
Chu Li sat down gently and said, "It's a pity I didn't get the Great Light Scripture."
He sighed in relief. Lu Yifu had been scrutinizing him not because he doubted his identity, but because he was judging whether he could be trusted, whether he could be entrusted with heavy responsibilities, and whether he should be excluded from the core.
If he was excluded from the core disciple circle of the sect, his future would be limited. It would be difficult for him to come into contact with top-notch martial arts and secrets, and it would be impossible for him to hold any authority. He would only be an idle person, and he would not be able to achieve his goal.
"It depends on fate and luck. Looks like you're not lucky enough." Lu Yifu shook his head.
Chu Li sighed and nodded.
Lu Yifu said, "What do you plan to do after you return?"
"Cultivate well." Chu Li frowned. "I've had a fortuitous encounter, so I want to cultivate well to see if I can understand more. I'll enter the Sanctuary in five years and cultivate the Flying Demon Technique."
"Flying Divine Demon Technique …" Lu Yifu nodded lightly and said, "Then you should work hard to cultivate it."
Chu Li stood up and fist saluted before leaving.
Lu Yifu watched him leave, frowning and muttering to himself.
He felt that there was something strange about Wu Yuansi.
However, he could not put his finger on what was strange. It seemed that the martial arts he cultivated had changed, and his temperament was different too.
He was completely different from the original Wu Yuansi. Was this the result of training?
He frowned and thought for a while before shaking his head. It seemed like he was being too paranoid.
Chu Li walked out of the courtyard and felt slightly relieved.
Lu Yifu's eyes were bright as if he could see through his heart.
If he blocked Lu Yifu's eyes and prevented him from seeing clearly, it would arouse more suspicion. Fortunately, he had completely immersed himself in the role of Wu Yuansi. His whole body was relaxed and did not show any signs of nervousness.
Otherwise, Lu Yifu would definitely see him, and if he investigated carefully, he would inevitably give himself away. After all, he was not the real Wu Yuansi.
As he walked down, a middle-aged man suddenly blocked his way. "Yuansi?"
Chu Li looked up.
