Chu Li watched as she left gracefully. He shook his head and laughed.
Such a woman was not suitable to venture out. She was too naive and unsophisticated. She was too gullible.
As soon as she left, Hu Tianlai pushed the door open and came in.
Chu Li stood up and gave a fist salute. "Master's Junior Hu."
"Sit." Hu Tianlai sat down at the stone table, sniffled, and said with a smile, "Have you met Miss Qin?"
Chu Li nodded lightly and sat down.
Hu Tianlai said, "Were you scolded?"
Chu Li replied, "She asked me directly if I'd harmed Young Master Meng and if I'd kept the Great Light Scripture for myself. I had nothing to say to that. Miss Qin is too naive. Logically speaking, the Dancing Butterfly Sect shouldn't have done that."
"Her temperament is pure, yet she has cultivated the Demonic Dance to an extremely profound level, rarely seen by others. This Miss Qin cannot be underestimated, she can kill without leaving a trace!" Hu Tianlai laughed and said, "Don't underestimate her."
Chu Li nodded slowly as he came to a sudden realization.
Hu Tianlai said, "Yuan Si, now that you've cultivated the Soaring Godfiend Art, what are your plans for the next step?"
Chu Li said, "Master's Junior, you wouldn't visit me for no reason, right?"
"Hehe …" Hu Tianlai laughed and said, "I have a small plan, but it depends on whether you agree or not, Yuan Si."
Chu Li said, "Master's Junior, tell me about it first."
Hu Tianlai said, "The Profound Heart Sect has set a trap for us. We can also do the same. Set a trap for them and kill a few of their experts. How about it?"
"Use me as bait?" Chu Li asked.
Hu Tianlai slammed the stone table. "Martial Nephew is smart!"
Chu Li said, "The Profound Heart Sect is proficient in conspiracies and plots. They'll definitely be able to see through it."
"So what?" Hu Tianlai scoffed, "Let's see if they want to kill you or not, Yuan Si. If they want to kill you, they can only fall into their trap!"
"What if they beat us at our game?" Chu Li said, "You're going to send out the top-notch masters and a few elders to kill me, then kill the masters of our sect. Master's Junior, you're not going to send out a few elders, are you?"
Hu Tianlai said, "The Profound Heart Sect won't send out that many elders."
Chu Li said, "Master's Junior, your idea isn't reliable at all. Last time, their Elder died, so why won't they send out their Elder this time? They wouldn't send their disciples to their deaths, would they? "
Hu Tianlai said solemnly, "Alright, then let's send out our elders as well. Let's see who's stronger!"
Chu Li said, "Then this will become a decisive battle between the two sects. Once the battle starts, there will be heavy losses. Won't someone else benefit from it?"
Hu Tianlai's face darkened and his brows furrowed.
Chu Li had hit the nail on the head.
Although the two sects had formed a great enmity, it hadn't reached the point where they would fight to the death. Furthermore, once a great battle broke out, things would go out of control. No one would be able to control the scale, and it would truly become a declaration of war. In the end, the two sects would be the ones to suffer.
But once they started fighting, even if they knew that they couldn't declare all-out war, the situation often forced them to fight.
There were many such lessons. They knew that something was wrong, but they could not stop the situation from worsening. Rationality was not of any use.
Chu Li looked at him without saying a word.
After a while, Hu Tianlai let out a sigh and said, "I can't scheme against them even once. This is too frustrating. Every time, I have to be led by the nose by them. What's so great about the Profound Heart Sect?"
Chu Li said, "Unless we go all out, we can't do anything to them. But if we kill an elder and a young master, it'll be considered a comeback, right?"
"That's true." Hu Tianlai smiled.
Chu Li said, "They'll always think of ways to assassinate me. That's why they're the most exhausted when I stay in the sect. Why can't we do it instead?"
"Hmm, I've been too hasty." Hu Tianlai nodded and said, "Yuan Si, you've really improved. If it was in the past, you would've agreed to do it. Why would you think so much?"
Chu Li shook his head and sighed. "I've been forced into this. Being in the Grandmaster's Boundary, I have enemies everywhere. I have to be cautious and cautious at all times. I've developed this habit of thinking before acting."
"This is a good habit." Hu Tianlai said, "That's it then. I'll think about it."
Chu Li said, "Master's Junior, if I'm in the Profound Heart Sect, I'll deal with our disciples."
"Hmm …?" Hu Tianlai frowned.
Chu Li said, "They'll force me to show myself by severely injuring our disciples one by one."
"That's true." Hu Tianlai scoffed. "But this matter isn't under the Dark Temple's jurisdiction."
Chu Li nodded and said no more.

Chu Li was activating the Flying Divine Demon Technique. His body was like a dream, moving at lightning speed. He was suddenly in the east and suddenly in the west. He was training to move within a small area so that he could coordinate with his techniques to increase his power.
Suddenly, the courtyard door opened. Hu Tianlai walked in with a gloomy face and sat by the stone table.
Chu Li suddenly sat opposite him. "Master's Junior, what's the matter?"
"Yuan Si, you're right." Hu Tianlai said coldly, "The Profound Heart Sect is indeed dealing with our disciples."
"What's the sect's plan?" Chu Li asked. "The sect leader won't just sit back and do nothing, right?"
"The sect leader said to bear with it," Hu Tianlai said in a low voice.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
"I understand the sect leader's difficulties," Hu Tianlai said. "This is a crucial time for us to cooperate with Asura. It's not good to make another enemy."
Chu Li nodded.
Hu Tianlai scoffed. "But it's really frustrating to bear with it!"
Chu Li said, "Master's Junior, do you still want to use the original method?"
"Yes." Hu Tianlai laughed coldly. "We're afraid of war, but aren't they? This time, we won't set up any traps. We'll do it openly. You'll leave the sect directly. I'll have a few elders follow you and protect you at all times. "
Chu Li said, "Is this considered a provocation?"
"Yes." Hu Tianlai scoffed. "We'll see if they have the guts to attack us!"
Chu Li nodded slowly.
The Profound Heart Sect was good at scheming and scheming. Their calculations were usually accurate and they were good at weighing gains and losses. Therefore, they were also the most rational and would not do anything impulsive. Seeing that he was protected by a few elders, they would not dare to act recklessly.
"How many elders are there?" Chu Li asked.
Hu Tianlai said, "Six. The Dark Temple can only send six."
Chu Li asked, "How many elders do we have now?"
"Sixty-six." Hu Tianlai said, "The rest of the old monsters don't come out anymore. They're in isolation to become Demon Gods."
Chu Li said, "Sixty-six …"
He was speechless. He did not expect the Flying Heaven Sect to be so powerful.
He had seen the might of the Profound Heart Sect's elders. They were all Great Heavenly Demons, but they were not inferior to him.
He did not know how many Supreme Celestial Beings there were in the Outland, but he was sure that there were not many who were more powerful than him. It seemed that the Heavenly Demon Realm was more powerful. This was not good news.
Hu Tianlai said, "With the six Grand Elders protecting you, even if they dare to send more elders, you'll be able to escape. Your Flying Divine Demon Technique is quite powerful now."
Chu Li remained silent.
"It's decided. We'll leave tomorrow!" Hu Tianlai said.
Chu Li nodded slowly.
Hu Tianlai got up and left in a hurry, afraid that Chu Li would go back on his word.
The next morning, Chu Li and the six elders left the sect and headed east to deliver a letter to the Heavenly Water Sect.
They swaggered and waited for the Profound Heart Sect to come.
However, the Profound Heart Sect did not come. It was as if they could not see them. They kept avoiding them and dealt with the other disciples of the Flying Heaven Sect, injuring them and even crippling their martial arts.
