He returned to the Flying Heaven Faction.
It was evening and the sun was setting, illuminating the Flying Heaven Faction beautifully.
However, the Flying Heaven Faction was still empty. There were not many people around. Only a few of the basilicas were still there.
Chu Li felt something different. The Flying Heaven Faction did not seem cold and desolate because of the emptiness of the faction. Instead, it was filled with a high-spirited atmosphere that made one's blood boil.
Chu Li went straight to the Dark Hall and saw the Hall Leader, Hu Tianlai.
Hu Tianlai's face was as pale as a sheet and his aura was still weak. It was obvious that he was heavily injured, but he did not go back to recuperate. Instead, he was still reading the dossiers.
Chu Li fist saluted. "Master's Junior, you're injured?"
"Damn it, I'm not dead yet. I'm so unlucky!" Hu Tianlai said impatiently. "Did you hear the news?"
Chu Li nodded. "Did you win?"
"Of course!" Hu Tianlai smiled and chuckled. "At least it wasn't a waste of effort. We opened the Sect Protection Formation and fought a great battle after we broke in. This time, we killed a hundred of their young disciples!"
Chu Li was surprised. "That many people?"
"This time, it was enough to make them suffer." Hu Tianlai stroked his beard and laughed. "These people have been scheming all day long. I'll let them know what it's like to be schemed against!"
Chu Li said, "Master's Junior, it shouldn't be that easy for spies to infiltrate the Profound Heart Sect, right?"
"Of course." Hu Tianlai nodded. "But I sent a disciple in ten years ago. This young man has quite a good aptitude and is highly valued by the Profound Heart Sect. He has been in isolated cultivation and did not reveal any flaws."
Chu Li frowned. "Since he's so valued by the Profound Heart Sect, will he betray them?"
"He's my adopted son." Hu Tianlai shook his head. "Now that he's back, you must take care of him in the future."
Chu Li nodded. "A person who has made such a great contribution is naturally worthy of respect."
"Don't just say it. His aptitude is not as good as yours, but he's still a smart young man. He might be able to take over my position in the future. "
Chu Li smiled and shook his head. "Master's Junior, you're dreaming."
The position of the Palace Master was not hereditary. No matter how powerful Hu Tianlai's godson was, he would not be able to take over the Dark Palace. The sect would not allow anyone to take over the Dark Palace. If two generations were to take over the Dark Palace, they would be in danger of not being able to escape.
Hu Tianlai's adopted son would not be able to take over the Dark Hall no matter how powerful he was.
Hu Tianlai's adopted son would not be able to become Hall Master.
He clapped his hands, and a black-clothed youth quietly walked in. "Hall Master."
"Let Spirit Mountain come here!" Hu Tianlai said.
"Yes." The black-robed young man replied and retreated quietly.
Chu Li smiled at Hu Tianlai.
Hu Tianlai said, "My adopted son is called Hu Lingshan, meet him."
Chu Li pointed at the dossier on the table and said helplessly, "Master's Junior, there's no need to meet him now. It's better for you to recuperate from your injuries. Since the battle is over, why do you still have to fight so desperately?"
Hu Tianlai sighed, "If we want to win, we must guard against Profound Heart Sect's desperate actions!"
"That's true." Chu Li nodded. "But no matter how anxious they are, they can't attack immediately, right? … There are no traitors in our sect, right? Don't let them do the same to us. "
"You don't have to worry about that," said Hu Tianlai. "There aren't many young people in our sect. They're all old fellows who have passed the test. There won't be any problems."
Chu Li said, "The more it is like this, the more careful we have to be! Let me guard it. "
"The Sect Master is personally guarding it," Hu Tianlai said. "We've long been prepared for this."
Chu Li nodded in satisfaction.
While the two of them were talking, the sound of footsteps rang out. A short young man floated over as if he was riding the wind. He had a round face and large eyes. His gaze was exceptionally sharp and spirited, making it impossible for others to ignore him.
"Lingshan, this is Wu Yuansi, your Senior Brother." Hu Tianlai waved his hand and said, "In the future, you must learn well from Yuan Si. Whether it's martial arts or how to behave, you must learn well."
"Godfather." Hu Lingshan fist saluted and looked at Chu Li with a smile. "Senior Brother Wu, I've heard a lot about you."
Chu Li smiled. "Junior Brother Hu, am I really that famous?"
"Senior Brother Wu is very famous in the Profound Heart Sect. All the disciples want to kill you, Senior Brother Wu. Unfortunately, the Sect Master did not allow them to do so. He said that they were no match for you, which made them even angrier. "
Chu Li shook his head and laughed. "Looks like I'm quite famous."
Hu Lingshan said, "After that, everyone knew how powerful Senior Brother Wu was. No one dared to look for you anymore. You've completely defeated the younger generation of the Profound Heart Sect."
Chu Li chuckled. "You flatter me."
"However, there are many people who say that Senior Brother Wu is so powerful because of Murong Chou from the Sword Demon Sect. If it wasn't for Murong Chou, you would've been killed by the Profound Heart Sect." Hu Lingshan smiled.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows and looked at Hu Lingshan who was smiling. "That's true. If it wasn't for Brother Murong Chou, I would've been killed by the Elders of the Profound Heart Sect."
"Alright!" Hu Tianlai shook his head. "You're so young, but you're so ambitious!"
He could tell that Hu Lingshan was unconvinced and shook his head secretly.
Hu Lingshan was young and full of vigor. It was obvious that he got carried away by being favored by the Profound Heart Sect. He thought that the Profound Heart Sect was stronger than the Flying Heaven Sect, which was why the younger disciples of the Profound Heart Sect were better than those from the Flying Heaven Sect.
Chu Li smiled. "Junior Brother Hu, it seems like you want to spar with me."
Hu Lingshan smiled. "I've learned the martial arts of the Profound Heart Sect. Although I'm not good at it, I've been training hard. I'm very curious about the Flying Heaven Divine Demon Technique and would like to learn a thing or two from it."
Chu Li said, "I'm not good at the Flying Heaven Divine Demon Technique either. I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, Junior Brother Hu."
Hu Tianlai said snappily, "Don't be so polite. Teach this brat a lesson and let him know how high the sky is!"
Hu Tianlai was indeed annoyed. Chu Li's arrogance made him look arrogant. This brat had been spoiled by the Profound Heart Sect and wanted to establish himself in the Flying Heaven Sect. Doing this would not do. He would be digging his own grave.
Hu Tianlai had to discipline him in the future and let him know the rules. For now, he would let Wu Yuansi teach him a lesson.
"Master's Junior, I'm injured too. Let's talk about it another day." Chu Li shook his head and laughed.
He would not go and provoke Hu Lingshan. It was obvious that Hu Lingshan was not a shrewd person and had a one-track mind. If he really offended him, he would pester him endlessly. It was better to avoid people like him to avoid wasting his time.
As for teaching Hu Lingshan a lesson, Chu Li was not interested at all.
Hu Lingshan frowned. "Senior Brother Wu, do you think that I'm not worthy to fight you?"
Chu Li waved his hand. "I'm indeed injured. If I fight you while I'm injured, wouldn't I be looking down on you? Let's talk about it after I've recovered."
Hu Lingshan smiled. "I've been waiting for a long time."
Hu Tianlai said snappily, "Shut up and leave. I have something to discuss with Yuansi!"
"Godfather! I'm not a child anymore!" Hu Lingshan said unhappily.
"Shut up and leave!" Hu Tianlai scoffed.
Hu Lingshan curled his lips in dissatisfaction. He fist saluted and turned around to leave the basilica.
Chu Li smiled. "Master's Junior, looks like there's going to be trouble for you."
