While he was observing, he noticed that Hu Tianlai walked to his courtyard with a gloomy expression and knocked on the door.
Chu Li raised his voice. "Master's Junior, please come in."
His voice was hoarse like sand rubbing against each other. It was dry and unpleasant to hear.
He shook his head. His injuries had not fully recovered.
Hu Tianlai pushed the door open and walked into the courtyard. He suddenly sat by the stone table and finished the wine on the table. He looked up and saw Chu Li standing at the entrance of the hall. Chu Li's face was pale and his aura was weak. He was stunned. "What's wrong?"
Chu Li sighed. "Master's Junior, is there something on your mind?"
Hu Tianlai looked at him and noticed that he was fine. Although his aura was weak and his face was pale, he was full of vigor. His life was not in danger and he could slowly recover. He scoffed. "Chu Li, you guessed it."
Chu Li asked, "What is it?"
"My godson!" Hu Tianlai said coldly.
Chu Li was stunned. He shook his head and did not say anything.
He had nothing to say and he knew that it was useless.
He picked up the wine pot and filled their cups, then finished it in one gulp.
Hu Tianlai finished it too and sighed. "I didn't expect things to turn out like this!"
Chu Li said, "Master's Junior should have been prepared for this. After all, he was young when he went in and he was from the Profound Heart Sect. How could he not have expected this?"
"That's true!" Hu Tianlai nodded. "I was prepared but I didn't expect it to happen. I hesitated when I broke the formation but I realized that it was really broken. Now, it seems like this is the Profound Heart Sect's plan. It's really vicious."
Chu Li said, "There might be other tricks to break the formation."
He could not help but think of Zhao Lingfeng. He was so mysterious. Zhao Lingfeng must have added fuel to the fire. Otherwise, Hu Lingshan alone would not have been able to achieve such a feat.
The Profound Heart Sect wanted to beat them at their own game but they did not expect Zhao Lingfeng to beat them at their own game. He turned the tables on the Profound Heart Sect and heavily injured them. If not, the Profound Heart Sect would not have accepted such a heavy loss.
Zhao Lingfeng was one step ahead of them and plotted against the Profound Heart Sect.
He felt that his deduction should not be too far off from the truth. The Profound Heart Sect might as well use such a huge loss to verify Hu Lingshan's identity and infiltrate the Flying Heaven Sect. At the crucial moment, they would be able to counterattack and reap the benefits.
Logically speaking, no one would suspect Hu Lingshan. After all, no one would suspect him with such a huge proof of allegiance.
Unfortunately, he was unlucky enough to bump into Chu Li.
Chu Li poured another two glasses of wine and sighed. "Then, Master's Junior, how do you plan to deal with it?"
"No!" Hu Tianlai gritted his teeth and said, "I want to see when he will give himself away!"
"You want to beat him at his own game?" Chu Li asked.
Hu Tianlai slowly nodded and said, "Give Profound Heart Sect another vicious blow!"
Chu Li said, "They might not fall for it."
Last time, the Profound Heart Sect had already suffered a great loss. This time, they would probably learn their lesson and would not be fooled again. They would seek stability.
Hu Tianlai sneered, "The more they hate us, the more eager they will be for revenge. We won't have to worry about them not falling for it. When the time comes, you can go out and provoke them!"
Chu Li said, "That's not a problem!"
Hu Tianlai said, "It won't be too late to wait for your martial arts to recover."
Chu Li raised his jade glass and said, "Looks like I really can't wait for the Heavenly Demonic Universe Lock to lose its effect."
"Mm." Hu Tianlai nodded. "I'm also planning to use you to lure them and give them a vicious blow."
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
Hu Tianlai drank a few more glasses in one go and sighed. "I can only keep this matter to myself. I can't tell anyone else lest my secret is leaked. After thinking about it, I can only tell you."
Only three people knew about this matter. They were him, the sect leader, and Chu Li.
After he found out the truth, he could not complain to the sect leader or he would be dissatisfied with the sect. He could only tell Chu Li about it. Otherwise, he would suffer internal injuries if he kept it to himself.
Chu Li said, "Master's Junior, you don't have to worry about it. After all, he's only an adopted son. We haven't seen each other for so many years, so our relationship isn't that close. Otherwise, he wouldn't have betrayed the sect and Master's Junior."
"Yes …" Hu Tianlai sighed.
In the end, Hu Tianlai got drunk. Chu Li did not help him back because he did not want others to see him and damage the dignity of the Dark Hall Leader.
During this period, young disciples gradually returned from the secluded peaks. Clearly, they were no longer afraid of the Profound Heart Sect.
Hu Tianlai slept in the wing of Chu Li's courtyard for a night. When he left the next day, he had regained his original dignity and was no longer as gloomy as he was yesterday.
Chu Li continued to look for his Skyscraper Orb. He even thought about entering the void in his mind. Unfortunately, the void in his mind was quiet. There was only a Heavenly Demon chanting the Heavenly Demon Scripture. There was nothing else, including the Skyscraper Orb.
Under the observation of the Omniscient Mirror, nothing could hide. However, it was not in the courtyard, not outside, and not in the entire sect. Unless someone hid it in one of the basilicas, no one else could have taken it.
He had looked in the courtyard and there were no outsiders. Therefore, the Skyscraper Orb might have disappeared by itself or been taken away by someone with an extremely high Light-body Technique, such as Zhao Lingfeng.
However, he quickly overturned his guess. Zhao Lingfeng would not have taken away the Skyscraper Orb silently. There was no need at all. If he wanted the Skyscraper Orb, he could have just asked.
Chu Li cultivated while looking for the Skyscraper Orb. The next day, he recovered from his injuries.
After recovering from his injuries, he still could not find the Skyscraper Orb. Therefore, he had no choice but to ponder over the nine diagrams of the Skyscraper Orb. He felt that there was something mysterious about it.
When he thought about it, he held his hands as if there was a orb in his hands. Then, he followed the nine diagrams one by one. A strange power condensed and slowly gathered in the center of his palms. It was as if this power wanted to enter the Skyscraper Orb.
Unfortunately, the Skyscraper Orb did not exist. There was nowhere for it to enter. It was still condensed in the center of his palms.
Chu Li slowly completed the ninth diagram. He raised his palms and slowly placed them on the Brahma Wheel in the void above his head. He was stunned as he felt the power in his palms disappear.
His face was suddenly filled with ecstasy. The Skyscraper Orb vaguely appeared on the Brahma Wheel.
It was invisible, but it still existed. It was as if it had become invisible. When he reached out to touch it, it did not seem to exist. Only when he used the Omniscient Mirror to observe it could he clearly see and feel its existence.
It turned out that the Skyscraper Orb did not disappear. Instead, it was hidden in the Brahma Wheel. There had been a strange change that caused the Skyscraper Orb to take on such a strange form. Once again, he was sure that Feng Changsheng could not use the Skyscraper Orb. Otherwise, it would not exist.
Regaining something that had been lost was the happiest thing. Although he had a strong will and Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture and other scriptures to guard it, he still could not suppress his joy. He wanted to look up at the sky and let out a long cry.
Since the Skyscraper Orb existed, he could once again peek into the next level.
He thought about it again and again. In the end, he could not hold it in anymore and focused his spiritual energy on the Skyscraper Orb again.
Suddenly, a thunderous sound exploded in his ears. At the same time, an incomparably huge force pressed down on him. It was as if a mountain was pressing down on him. His body trembled, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood toward the sky. His body softly fell to the ground.
