Huang Tianyi's robe was as white as snow and his face was as white as jade. When he stood with Zhao Lingfeng, they looked like a perfect couple.
Zhao Lingfeng sized him up and asked, "Why didn't you return to the Grandmaster's Realm? Did something happen?"
He had instructed Chu Li to return to the Grandmaster's Realm with the letter and not waste any more time in case Zhu Lengying tried anything funny. He did not expect Chu Li to return with a serious expression.
Chu Li fist saluted and smiled at Huang Tianyi. He told Zhao Lingfeng, "Leader, when I went to Da Meng Sect, I coincidentally ran into Yi Qingsong being surrounded by ten Great Asuras. I saved him."
"Yi Qingsong? Great Asura?" Zhao Lingfeng's expression changed.
Chu Li nodded slowly. "Sect Leader Xu from Tianfeng Sect revealed Yi Qingsong's identity to Asura. This was personally deduced by Sect Leader Cheng from Great Dream Sect, and he also deduced that you were involved in the incident."
Zhao Lingfeng's expression darkened and he smirked. "I underestimated Xu Ziliang's viciousness!"
Huang Tianyi frowned. "I underestimated his viciousness!"
Zhao Lingfeng asked, "And?"
Chu Li said, "Because I saved Yi Qingsong, Leader Cheng will not pursue this matter but he will punish Tianfeng Sect."
Huang Tianyi chuckled. "This is in line with Da Meng Sect's style of doing things. If you offend them, they will retaliate a hundredfold. If you do them a favor, they will repay you a hundredfold."
Chu Li nodded.
Zhao Lingfeng sighed and said, "Alright. This time, we managed to weaken the Heavenly Wind Sect by accident."
He felt aggrieved and uncomfortable but it happened in front of Huang Tianyi. He glared at Chu Li and scoffed, "You're quite lucky, young man!"
He realized that Chu Li's luck was amazing. Not only did he have a fortuitous encounter, he also had this kind of thing.
Saving Yi Qingsong would bring him endless benefits. Not only would he form a good relationship with Da Meng Sect, Yi Qingsong would also accept him wholeheartedly. Their friendship would be deeper than any ordinary friendship.
Other than Yi Qingsong, there was also Murong Chou. They were all rare geniuses. To be able to become friends with these geniuses and have a close relationship with them, in the future, there would be endless benefits. It was an intangible influence. Once he became the Sect Master, the Flying Heaven Sect would also receive endless benefits. The position of Sect Master must be passed on to him.
Chu Li smiled and closed fist saluted, "Sect Leader, the Tianfeng Faction has been targeted by the Dream Faction, so there's nothing to fear anymore."
"Yes, I will go to the Great Dream Clan." Zhao Lingfeng waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about these things."
Chu Li nodded and gave a fist salute to Huang Tianyi. He then turned to Zhao Lingfeng and said, "I'll take my leave then."
"Go." Zhao Lingfeng said, "Since you've saved Yi Qingsong, I'm sure Clan Leader Cheng will put in a good word for you, and Zhu Lengying will be easier to get along with."
"Yes." Chu Li nodded and turned to leave.

Inside a restaurant in the City of Ten Thousand Swords, Chu Li and Zhu Lengying sat at a table by the window, the same table they had sat at before. They drank and chatted leisurely, looking no different from the people around them.
Chu Li took out a letter and handed it over.
Zhu Lengying took it and quickly read through it, then looked up at Chu Li. A smile slowly appeared on his face, and it became wider and wider. "Alright, thank you very much!"
Chu Li smiled and shook his head.
Zhu Lengying kept the letter and stood up. "Then wait for my good news!"
Chu Li closed fist saluted and watched as Zhu Lengying walked out of the restaurant with his hands behind his back. He strolled along the street and returned to the inner city of the City of Ten Thousand Swords. He went into his house and destroyed the letter, then headed to the center of the inner city, and soon entered a basilica.
The Omniscient Mirror could not see the basilica clearly, as there was an invisible force blocking it. Chu Li slowly stared at the basilica, drinking and eating with a relaxed expression on his face.
About half an hour later, Zhu Lengying came out of the basilica, holding a waist tag in his hand.
Chu Li's Omniscient Mirror saw the word "Wu" written on the waist tag, and immediately knew that it was his waist tag.
This Zhu Lengying was quite capable, he actually got a waist tag for himself. The City of Ten Thousand Swords was loose on the outside, but tight on the inside. It was not easy to sneak in, and this waist tag was not easy to get.
The next morning, he was channeling on his bed, using the spiritual energy from the First Heaven to cleanse and strengthen his body. Zhu Lengying knocked on the door.
He went to answer the door with a smile.
Zhu Lengying entered the house and sat on the armchair, then tossed the waist tag to Chu Li. "This is the waist tag to enter the inner city, you must not lose it, or else it will be troublesome to get another one, very troublesome."
Chu Li nodded.
Zhu Lengying continued, "After you enter, if there are no accidents, you will become a registered disciple."
Chu Li nodded and looked at him without saying a word.
Zhu Lengying asked, "Nothing to ask?"
Chu Li shook his head.
Zhu Lengying scoffed. "Don't you want to ask why I'm a registered disciple and not a real disciple?"
Chu Li smiled. "It's not that easy to become a real disciple."
"You're smart." Zhu Lengying nodded in satisfaction. "You'll be a registered disciple for two years first. Once you're familiar with them and gain their trust, then you'll have the chance to become a real disciple. It's impossible to achieve instant success."
Chu Li nodded slowly.
Zhu Lengying said, "Not everyone can become a registered disciple, you'll need a real disciple's recommendation and guarantee. If anything happens to you, I won't be able to escape either, so you must be careful."
Chu Li smiled and nodded. "Senior, don't worry, I won't be in the limelight, I'll stay here obediently!"
"Good!" Zhu Lengying clapped his hands and praised him. "You're a smart person indeed, staying obediently is the most important thing. You've just arrived, don't think about taking over everything in one go, you have to accumulate it bit by bit."
Chu Li looked like he had learned something.
Zhu Lengying found Chu Li much more pleasing to the eye and said with satisfaction, "Follow me then."
The two of them left the inn. Zhu Lengying did not let Chu Li check out of the room and went straight to the inner city. Chu Li took out his waist tag. The four inner city protectors treated Zhu Lengying kindly and were very friendly, but their faces darkened when they saw Chu Li, glaring at him sternly. They placed their hands on the hilt of their swords, carefully checked the waist tag, and then carefully sized Chu Li up. Finally, they returned the waist tag and waved their hands to let him go.
Zhu Lengying smiled and thanked them, then led Chu Li into the inner city's gate.
Chu Li's hair instantly stood on end, and his entire body was covered in cold sweat.
It was as if several treasured swords were placed on top of his head, ready to stab him at any time. If he moved even the slightest bit, he would be stabbed by the swords. However, this sword force was formless and substantial, he could not see it at a glance, and his Omniscient Mirror could not detect it either.
This was obviously a Sect Protection Formation, and it was not even a formation that was activated, but it already gave him such a sense of danger. Once it was activated, he would not be able to survive, even if he had various secret skills.
He was on high alert and became more cautious, as if he was walking on thin ice.
Fortunately, he was not a real Heavenly Demon, or else he would really be so guilty that he might not have the courage to go further in. He began to admire Zhu Lengying, it was not easy to come this far.
Zhu Lengying turned to look at him, then smiled and nodded, satisfied with his performance.
If he could not keep his cool, his expression would have changed by now.
He said in a low voice, "We're going to meet the Hall Leader of the Sword Crafting Hall, Hu Tianfang."
Chu Li nodded without saying a word.
The two of them walked inside until they arrived in front of a basilica. Zhu Lengying fist saluted toward the basilica and said, "Hall Leader, my nephew is here."
"Come in." A deep voice was heard.
