Chu Li said, "It's inevitable that they would have such thoughts."
He had obtained many things from Taihao Peak. He had obtained two Void Breaching Pearls, which allowed him to enter the top floor of the Sutra Library. More importantly, there was Xiao Qi and Sun Mingyue, and now, Lu Yurong.
Even though there were quite a few female disciples on Great Empyrean Peak, there were only a few who were so exceedingly beautiful, and they could be counted on two hands. He occupied three of them, and coupled with the fact that he seemed to be very close to Fu Caiwei, it made the young male disciples even more jealous, wishing for nothing more than to chase him far away.
Lu Yurong scoffed, "Why don't they think about it? Taihao Peak isn't a charity hall. We've always been fair. If you don't have any special contributions, how can you receive such special treatment? They're all smart people, they're all blinded by greed!"
"You must be obsessed with lust." Chu Li laughed.
Lu Yurong gave him a sidelong glance. "Aren't you going to fight back?"
Chu Li smiled. "There's no need for that. Is it … very serious?"
"Everyone is talking about it." Lu Yurong frowned and said, "Someone is adding fuel to the fire. It's not just the disciples of Taihao Peak, but also the elders of Taihao Peak. You've become a thorn in everyone's side."
Chu Li nodded. "Just pretend I didn't hear anything."
"I don't think the Peak Master will force it." Lu Yurong scoffed, "He will definitely let you test your real body again. Do you think you can hide it?"
She knew that Chu Li had cultivated the Heavenly Demon Scripture.
She did not know if the Heavenly Demon Scripture and the Heavenly Demon Power were related or if it would be discovered to be the Heavenly Demon Power.
Chu Li smiled. "No problem."
"Even so, we can't let them have their way. Otherwise, they'll push their luck." Lu Yurong frowned.
Chu Li said, "That's true."
Although he was skilled in martial arts, his status was far inferior to his cultivation. He had always been looked down upon by others. When the Celestials looked at him, they would unconsciously have a sense of superiority, as if they were looking at someone from the countryside. Even though his cultivation was astonishing, he could not dispel this sense of superiority.
Others would think that his concession was a sign of weakness, and they would push their luck, causing him endless trouble.
Lu Yurong looked at him deeply. "Do as you see fit, but I'm guessing they won't be able to hold it in any longer. They'll do it in the next few days."
Chu Li smiled and seemed to be deep in thought.

A young man and a middle-aged man stood in front of Wang Shouren in the Sect Master's Hall.
Wang Shouren lazily sat on the armchair and looked at the two of them with a faint smile.
The young man's facial features were ordinary, but he had a pair of sword-like eyebrows that were slanted to his temples. He had a compelling sense of sharpness and heroism. He looked at Wang Shouren with his bright eyes, "Peak Leader, this matter is a little strange. It seems that within a day, it has spread like wildfire. All the disciples know about it and suspect Chu Li."
"Hmm, it is indeed strange." Wang Shouren nodded lightly.
The middle-aged man was as gentle as jade. He said calmly, "This idea is too shocking. That is why it is like this."
Wang Shouren smiled and looked at the middle-aged man, Zou Wenyuan. "What do you think, Junior Brother Zou?"
Zou Wenyuan stood with his hands behind his back and smiled gently. "I don't think the Rain Master Hall will be so careless to let the Heavenly Demons in."
The young disciple, Deng Sheng, hurriedly said, "Martial Uncle Zou, what if he has a treasure on him, or if his cultivation is high enough to hide from the Rain Master Hall? When Chu Li first entered the Rain Master Hall, he only entered through the White Dew Hall. He was only examined by a Hall Leader. "
"We know Chu Li's background. Although he came from the Lower Realm, he is innocent and has nothing to do with the Heavenly Demonic Realm." Zou Wenyuan pondered and said, "But there is no smoke without fire. There must be a reason for an unfounded wind."
Wang Shouren said, "Junior Brother Zou, you mean that this person is no longer Chu Li, but someone else in disguise?"
"… That's not very possible." Zou Wenyuan shook his head slowly.
Deng Sheng hurriedly said, "There is another possibility!"
Wang Shouren looked at him.
Zou Wenyuan smiled and shook his head. The young man was still impatient.
Deng Sheng said, "He may have cultivated the Heavenly Demonic Power. The Heavenly Demonic Power is mysterious and unpredictable. It is actually very tempting. Moreover, he can change his appearance. It is said that he has the ability to change his appearance!"
He heard from others that Chu Li's disguise technique was magical and not inferior to the Heavenly Demonic Power. He remembered it in his heart and had a hint of suspicion. No disguise technique in the world could achieve the effect of the Heavenly Demonic Power. Chu Li's disguise technique was so powerful that it was most likely the Heavenly Demonic Power.
Zou Wenyuan smiled and said, "We can't conclude that he cultivated the Heavenly Demonic Power just because of this, but we can't be too careful. More importantly, Chu Li's advancement is beyond imagination. Even describing it as a thousand miles in a day is not enough. There must be a reason for this. If we can obtain the secret of his advancement, it will be of great benefit to Taihao Peak."
"Junior Brother Zou, are you saying that we should take this opportunity to force him to confess the secret of his martial arts advancement?" Wang Shouren chuckled and said.
Zou Wenyuan said, "Chu Li is young and impetuous. He probably doesn't want to be forcibly examined. He feels that it is humiliating."
Wang Shouren shook his head. "Junior Brother Zou, you underestimate Chu Li. Although he is young, he is very calm. Junior Brother Zou, you should forget about this idea. Taihao Peak does not need this kind of method."
"No matter what, as long as it is beneficial to Taihao Peak, we must give it a try." Zou Wenyuan smiled.
Wang Shouren chuckled and looked at Deng Sheng. "Young Deng, do you think he is a Heavenly Demon?"
"I suspect that he is," Deng Sheng said in a low voice. Deng Sheng said in a deep voice, "There are too many Asuras that have died in his hands, and no one can compare to him. Even Uncle-Master Liu did not kill as many as he did, and Sky Demon specializes in restraining Asuras, so it is not strange that he can kill them easily."
"Are there many people who think the same as you?" Wang Shouren asked.
Deng Sheng nodded. "Senior and Junior Brothers all suspect that he cultivated the Heavenly Demonic Power. Peak Leader, if this is true, Taihao Peak's loss will be immeasurable. That is why we would rather kill the wrong person than let him go!"
"Rather kill the wrong person than let him go …" Wang Shouren chuckled and said, "If someone suspects that you, Deng Sheng, have also cultivated the Heavenly Demonic Power, and your Senior and Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters think like you, what would they do? Would they rather kill the wrong person than let him go? "
Deng Sheng's expression changed and he hurriedly said, "But Peak Leader, he is an outsider after all. He is not a disciple of Taihao Peak!"
"Although he is not a disciple of Taihao Peak, his wife and confidantes are disciples of Taihao Peak. Would he harm Taihao Peak?" Wang Shouren shook his head and smiled. "I don't believe it."
"Then we should at least check if he has cultivated the Heavenly Demonic Power, right?" Deng Sheng was unwilling to give up.
Wang Shouren smiled. "A random rumor has thrown us into confusion. Are Taihao Peak disciples so easily bewitched?"
"Peak Leader," Zou Wenyuan smiled. "It is not without reason that this news can affect the hearts of the disciples."
Wang Shouren looked at him.
Zou Wenyuan said, "Chu Li is not a disciple of Taihao Peak after all, but he has obtained far more than the disciples of Taihao Peak. It is inevitable that there will be some jealousy."
Wang Shouren smiled. "Junior Brother Zou, do you think that I have handled things unfairly?"
"I dare not." Zou Wenyuan shook his head and smiled. "Peak Leader has always been fair. How would we dare to doubt him?"
Wang Shouren said, "The Heaven Shaking Pavilion did not predict whether he is a Heavenly Demon or not? Could it be that they could not predict this at all? "
Zou Wenyuan had a deep relationship with the Heaven Shaking Pavilion. The Heaven Shaking Pavilion's shadow must have been involved in his visit this time.
"This …" Zou Wenyuan sighed. "As far as I know, the Heaven Shaking Pavilion could not predict his background. It is possible that he has a top-notch artifact on him that conceals the Heavenly Design, making it impossible to predict."
Wang Shouren smiled sarcastically. "The Heaven Shaking Pavilion wants this artifact, right?"
