Chu Li looked at Hu Lingshan and pondered.
Hu Tianlai said, "Yuan Si, don't stoop to his level. He's just spoiled."
Chu Li shook his head. "I think he's a smart person. He's not as impatient as he looks."
Hu Tianlai smiled. "It's a common problem when you're young. You used to be like that too. You've only calmed down after going through some hardships."
Chu Li asked, "Master's Junior, we've killed more than a hundred of them this time. How many of us did we lose?"
"Two." Hu Tianlai said, "The rest suffered some minor injuries but they're fine. Only the two senior brothers were unlucky and couldn't avoid the Heavenly Demonic Disintegration Technique."
"That's good." Chu Li nodded. "Master's Junior, you haven't seen your godson for many years, right?"
"Yes." Hu Tianlai sighed. "I didn't contact him because I was afraid that he'd be exposed. Is there a problem?"
Hu Tianlai was very sensitive. He understood the meaning behind Chu Li's words.
Chu Li frowned. "Something doesn't feel right. Logically, I shouldn't say something like that. But …"
Hu Tianlai nodded. "This isn't a small matter. You should say it."
"But it's hard to find evidence for this." Chu Li sighed. "If I'm wrong, I'll be a sinner!"
Hu Tianlai asked, "Do you really feel something's wrong?"
Chu Li slowly said, "Master's Junior, it's hard to explain. I just feel that there's something wrong with your godson. It's hard to tell what's wrong. After all, you should know him the best."
Initially, he could not see through Hu Lingshan's thoughts. After all, Hu Lingshan had a treasure on him that could prevent others from prying into his thoughts. However, Chu Li was very observant. Even if he could not see through Hu Lingshan's thoughts with the Omniscient Mirror, he could still see his every move and every slight change in his expression.
It was because of this meticulous observation that he could deduce Hu Lingshan's thoughts from the outside to the inside. He felt that there was something wrong with Hu Lingshan. It was as if he had a huge secret that could not be known by others.
Hu Tianlai shook his head and said, "I have not seen him for ten years. Now that I see him again, I do not feel like he is a stranger. He is still my godson; no one swapped him out."
The Heavenly Demonic Power could change one's appearance at any time, so it was inevitable that someone would try to impersonate him. Naturally, Chu Li would not let his guard down. He beat around the bush and asked about his childhood, as well as some details of their previous meetings.
Chu Li said, "Ten years … and it's at a young age. Master's Junior, it's better to be careful."
"Don't worry, I know," Hu Tianlai said slowly.
He would not ignore Chu Li's warning and intuition. The reason he was able to safely escape from the Grandmaster Realm back to the Heavenly Demonic Realm was not because of his martial arts, but because of his keen intuition towards danger and survival.
Although Wu Yuansi's martial arts were strong, he was still a far cry from the top-notch masters of the Grandmaster Boundary, such as the masters of Taihao Peak. The only reason he was able to escape was because of his intelligence, so he could not be underestimated.
Chu Li gave a fist salute. "I'll take my leave then."
"Go." Hu Tianlai nodded with flagging interest.
Chu Li left the basilica and went to his courtyard. When he arrived at the courtyard, he saw Hu Lingshan standing straight.
Chu Li smiled helplessly and sighed. "Junior Brother Hu, do you really have to compete?"
"Yes." Hu Lingshan said, "I know that Senior Brother Wu is looking down on me. Let's compete then. I want to see how strong the youth champion of the Flying Heaven Sect is!"
Chu Li sighed and said, "Alright then, come in."
He pushed open the courtyard door and came to the center of the courtyard. He extended his hand and said, "Then let's have a round or two. Junior Brother Hu, you can make the first move."
Hu Lingshan scanned his surroundings and nodded. His gaze landed on Chu Li and gradually became sharp. It was as if his gaze was a solid object that pierced through Chu Li's eyes. He said in a deep voice, "I'm cultivating the martial arts of the Profound Heart Sect.
As he finished speaking, he lightly slapped his palm. It seemed slow, but it was incredibly fast. In an instant, it reached Chu Li's chest.
Chu Li was very familiar with the martial arts of the Profound Heart Sect. He had fought against the Elders of the Profound Heart Sect before. Although Hu Lingshan was strong, he was no match for the Elders of the Profound Heart Sect. With a twist of his claw, Hu Lingshan was instantly sent flying.
"Bang!" Hu Lingshan crashed into the wall and hung there, unable to fall.
Chu Li shook his head. "Junior Brother Hu, it's better for you to cultivate."
Hu Lingshan's face was red. His internal organs were boiling and his blood was boiling. His inner energy was in a mess. He could not say a word and his body was limp.
He was angry and humiliated. He did not expect that he could not even take one hit. He thought that he could suppress him!
Chu Li got up and entered the house, ignoring him.
After a while, Hu Lingshan fell to the ground with a "bang". He could not move. His internal organs were still boiling and his inner energy was in a mess. He could not exert any strength and could only lie on the ground.
After about fifteen minutes, Hu Lingshan finally got up. His green shirt was stained with mud. After being soaked in sweat, it was stained with mud. He looked very embarrassed. He wanted to find a hole to hide in.
He turned his head and glared at Chu Li's house, then turned and left.
Chu Li shook his head and ignored him.
Hu Lingshan was indeed a very smart person. It all depended on whether Hu Tianlai could find a loophole or not.

Chu Li stood still in the basilica. The morning sun shone on the basilica, making it bright and gentle.
Zhao Lingfeng was sitting in front of a desk and flipping through some files. He asked casually, "Are you ready to cultivate in isolation?"
"Yes. Thank you, Sect Leader," Chu Li said.
"This is the reward you deserve. You don't have to thank me. Is there anything else you want to ask?" Zhao Lingfeng said gently.
Chu Li said, "Sect Leader, we have killed so many disciples from Profound Heart Sect. They will definitely take revenge in desperation. What should we do?"
"Just hide for a while. All disciples are not allowed to leave the sect. They won't be able to attack us." Zhao Lingfeng said.
Chu Li said, "What if they are like us?"
"I will keep an eye on them every day. No one will be able to destroy the Sect Protection Formation." Zhao Lingfeng said.
Chu Li nodded. "The scariest danger always comes from around us. Even if Profound Heart Sect can't attack us, they won't let it go. They will definitely take revenge in the future."
"Who knows who will take revenge in the future," Zhao Lingfeng said. "As long as you cultivate your martial arts well, you don't have to be afraid of Profound Heart Sect!"
Chu Li said, "There's still something I don't understand. Why should we work with Asura? Asura are afraid of violence. Because they are immortal, they don't value their own lives. They don't value their own lives, let alone other people's lives. How can we work with people who are fearless? "
"This matter involves a secret of the sect." Zhao Lingfeng thought for a while and looked at him. "You will know about it in the future. There's no harm in telling you in advance."
Chu Li was excited.
He had taken the risk to ask this question. However, the more he took the risk, the more honest he seemed. It would not be good to beat around the bush.
Zhao Lingfeng said, "Our Heavenly Demonic Power can restrain Asura, but it doesn't mean that Asura can't fight back."
Chu Li nodded.
Asura did not value their own lives. Once they used the Mutual Destruction Technique, even the Great Heavenly Demon would not be able to withstand it.
Zhao Lingfeng said, "They are a big threat."
