Zhao Lingfeng frowned as he stared at him.
Chu Li smiled. "Sect Leader, if they could really kill me, they would naturally give up. I've already killed the murderer, so what else is there to say? If they can't kill me, how can they declare war on the sect? "
"That's too dangerous for you!" Zhao Lingfeng said.
Chu Li laughed. "I was just worried that no one could help me improve my cultivation. Since the Heaven Devouring Sect is so overbearing, they're perfect opponents for me to sharpen my Heavenly Demonic Blade!"
"Sigh …" Zhao Lingfeng felt guilty.
He suddenly realized that it was a good idea to sacrifice Wu Yuansi to protect the entire Flying Heaven Sect. However, this would be too much for Wu Yuansi, and the Heaven Devouring Sect was not the Wind Sect. It would be difficult for one person to defeat them.
Chu Li said, "If it really doesn't work, I'll escape into the foreign battlefields or the Grandmaster's Realm to change my appearance. They'll need some time to hunt me down, which is enough for the Flying Heaven Sect to prepare everything … I'll also do my best to weaken their strength so that they won't dare to fight!"
"Sigh …" Zhao Lingfeng was speechless.
Chu Li smiled. "Sect Leader, you don't have to think too much. The sect is my root, and I'll do my best to protect it!"
"Alright!" Zhao Lingfeng sighed. "What treasures or secret manuals do you want?"
Chu Li shook his head. "No need."
This made Zhao Lingfeng feel even more guilty. He said slowly, "Yuansi, if you can pass this stage, you'll be the sect leader of the Flying Heaven Sect!"
Chu Li was stunned, but he quickly smiled. "Sect Leader, please don't joke around. I only want to cultivate now, and I really don't want to be the sect leader. Moreover, you're in the prime of your life, which is the best time. The Flying Heaven Sect will prosper under your leadership, and I don't think I can do that."
Zhao Lingfeng's cultivation level was high, and he was intelligent. He handled the sect's affairs meticulously, and did not delay the Flying Heaven Sect's affairs because of his cultivation. It seemed easy, but it was very tiring.
More importantly, his identity was important.
He was afraid that once he became the sect leader, his identity would be exposed.
Zhao Lingfeng said, "Sect Leader, you have another inheritance that can summon the Heavenly Demonic Descent."
Chu Li said, "Thank you, Sect Leader, for your kindness."
"It's settled then." Zhao Lingfeng said in a deep voice, "I have always wanted to step down as the Sect Master and travel the world with Tianyi. I owe her too much, and I need to make it up to her."
Chu Li smiled and shook his head without saying a word.
Zhao Lingfeng said, "Go back and recuperate. The Heaven Devouring Sect will send more people here in two days."
Chu Li gave a fist salute and disappeared into the void.
The next moment, he returned to his courtyard and thought about what Zhao Lingfeng had said earlier.
Could he really become the Sect Master of the Flying Heaven Sect?
If he could conceal his identity with the Heavenly Demon Scripture, would he be able to use the Heavenly Demon Descent to kill Sui Miaozhu after he became the Sect Leader of the Flying Heaven Sect?
Under the state of Heavenly Demon Descent, it should be easy for him to kill Sui Miaozhu with the Heavenly Demon Blade Technique, right?
Once this thought came up, he couldn't let it go. It kept circling around in his mind.
The temptation was too great, and he couldn't resist it. Moreover, becoming the Sect Leader of the Flying Heaven Sect would save him a lot of effort. For example, one word from him could change the Heavenly Demon's decision to go to the Lower Realm.
This way, it would be easier than trying to influence the Elders Guild in the Outland. Moreover, it seemed like it was right in front of him, and he could achieve it with one step.
He quickly collected his thoughts and began to practice. The Heavenly Demon Blade Technique was exquisite. Although he had inherited it, he was far from being proficient in it. He needed to practice it hard.
However, the Sky Demon Saber Technique had a fatal flaw, which was that it required an enormous amount of soul power to activate. This limited the Sky Demon Saber User from practicing the Sky Demon Saber Technique, limiting the Saber Technique's level of mastery, as well as the duration and power of the technique.
Coincidentally, he didn't lack soul energy. As long as he could build the Chakra Pagoda and connect it with the other Chakra Pagodas, his soul energy would be endless. Even now, nine Chakra Pagodas were enough for him to use the Heavenly Demon Blade Technique.
Therefore, he left the mountain and went to the surrounding peaks to build more Chakra Pagodas. Then, he extended outwards and built more than a hundred Chakra Pagodas in one go. He only returned to his courtyard in the Flying Heaven Sect at night.
Then, he stayed in the courtyard to cultivate the Heavenly Demon Blade Technique. He cultivated for an entire day and called Huang Youxin and Zhu Xueli over.
Huang Youxin's figure was tall, his appearance was like jade, and his eyes were bright and handsome. On the other hand, even though Zhu Xueli wasn't so handsome, he still had a dignified appearance and revealed a fearless and magnanimous aura.
"Senior Brother Wu!" The two entered the courtyard and bowed respectfully.
Chu Li sat by the stone table and waved his hand. "No need to be so polite. Let's sit and talk."
The two of them replied, "Yes." Then, they sat down in front of him.
"You killed Xue Lengshan from the Heaven Devouring Sect?" Chu Li asked.
The two hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly. They tightened their faces and pursed their lips. They knew they were in big trouble.
Although the Flying Heaven Sect was strong, it wasn't the best in the world. On the other hand, although the Heaven Devouring Sect wasn't the best in the world, they were better than the Flying Heaven Sect. Moreover, the Heaven Devouring Sect was overbearing. Killing a disciple from the Heaven Devouring Sect was like poking a hornet's nest.
They killed Xue Lengshan and brought disaster to the Flying Heaven Sect.
Chu Li smiled. "Don't be nervous. It's just killing a person. It's not a big deal."
"Senior Brother Wu, he was a disciple of the Heaven Devouring Sect. If we knew, we would've run for our lives. We wouldn't have dared to kill him." Zhu Xueli smiled bitterly.
"So what if he was killed?" Chu Li said. "Tell me what happened in detail."
The two of them recounted the events that had transpired.
Chu Li interrupted and asked as he listened. He could clearly see what happened in their minds and saw Xue Lengshan's appearance. Speaking of which, Xue Lengshan was really courting death. He was arrogant and wanted to kill Huang Youxin and Zhu Xueli. In the end, the two were enraged and tried to kill him.
—
The next morning, he was practicing his blade technique when he saw Xu Fanliang and the other elders enter the Flying Heaven Sect and head to the Sect Leader's basilica.
Chu Li appeared in front of the basilica in a flash. Coincidentally, Zhao Lingfeng and Huang Tianyi were walking out. They smiled when they saw him.
Chu Li fist saluted Huang Tianyi and said to Zhao Lingfeng, "Sect Leader, they're here."
"Mm, be careful." Zhao Lingfeng nodded.
Xu Fanliang and the other three came to the Grandmaster's Hall unhurriedly and clasped their fists lazily.
Xu Fanliang asked, "Have you thought it through, Sect Leader Zhao?"
Zhao Lingfeng extended his hand. "Come in and talk."
"Alright." Xu Fanliang scoffed. The four entered the basilica.
They were fearless. Even if the Flying Heaven Sect was a dangerous place, they would not dare to do anything to them. This was the source of the Heaven Devouring Sect's confidence. Huang Youxin and Zhu Xueli dared to kill the Heaven Devouring Sect's disciples. None of the Heaven Devouring Sect's disciples would tolerate it.
After entering the basilica, Xu Fanliang asked impatiently, "Sect Leader Zhao, are you going to hand him over?"
"Sigh …" Zhao Lingfeng shook his head and sighed. "Let me introduce him to you. This is Wu Yuansi from our sect."
Chu Li fist saluted and smiled. "Senior Xu, we meet again."
"Wu Yuansi!" Xu Fanliang glanced at him coldly and looked at Zhao Lingfeng. "Give me an answer. Are you going to hand him over or not?"
Chu Li said, "Senior Xu, the Heaven Devouring Sect made a mistake regarding Xue Lengshan's death. The one who killed Xue Lengshan was not Junior Brother Huang or Junior Brother Zhu, it was me!"
"You —!?" Xu Fanliang glared at him fiercely.
Chu Li smiled and nodded. "He was courting death. I had no other choice. Even if I knew who he was, I had to kill him!"
"You're courting death!" Xu Fanliang slapped him.
Chu Li dodged to the side.
