After Chu Li laughed twice, he suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"Ah —!"
Heaven Devouring Sect screamed wildly, and everyone's eyes turned red.
As a disciple of the Heaven Devouring Sect, everyone had developed a domineering personality. They had always devoured and bullied others, and could not tolerate being bullied by others. They were wolves that ate meat, and the others were sheep.
They could not accept Chu Li's unscrupulous behavior.
The two green-robed disciples fluttered to the front of the ten black-robed old men. They lowered their heads to look at them, shook their heads, and sighed. Then, they picked them up from the pile of stone powder, as if they were holding a sacred and solemn object.
They did not despise the ten elders who had sacrificed themselves, but instead respected and grieved. They deserved the respect of all disciples for dying for the sect.
They returned to the Heaven Devouring Sect with heavy footsteps, and the disciples gathered around. Seeing the ten elders die so tragically, they became more and more crazy, wanting to rush out and fight for their lives. Even if they died, they wanted to injure Chu Li.
But Chu Li was nowhere to be seen. He ran away after killing them. He was extremely hateful and deserved to be killed.
Moreover, the new Sect Master hadn't taken office yet. Originally, He Yushan was supposed to be the next Sect Master. As the youngest Sect Master, he carried great expectations. Everyone thought that He Yushan would become a wise Sect Master. The Heaven Devouring Sect was getting stronger and stronger. Flying Heaven Sect's Wu Yuansi killed He Yushan, shattering their dreams and expectations. They hated him but were helpless. They wanted to take revenge but were afraid of dragging the Sect Master into the abyss.
The Great Light Surpassing Sect could not compare to the Heaven Flying Sect, but it was more than enough to deal with them. But without the sect leader, no one could give this order, so the disciples ran to the sect leader's basilica.
There were already four elders in black standing in front of the basilica, their wide sleeves embroidered with golden lightning. It was easy to miss it if one did not pay attention.
They were the sect's inherited elders, who carried the heavy responsibility of inheriting the sect's martial arts. At critical times, they jointly decided the sect's affairs, including the appointment and dismissal of the sect leader, and the sect's major events. Now, it was up to them to decide whether to go to war with the other sects.
"Elder Chu, Elder Yu, do we have to swallow this?" A disciple shouted. "Are we going to let the Great Light Surpassing Sect bully us?"
The tall and sturdy old man said slowly, "Impetuous!"
Everyone immediately became serious.
Elder Chu's voice had a power that could penetrate through one's heart. It poured into their ears and directly drilled into their hearts, instantly calming their raging emotions and restoring their calm.
Elder Chu said indifferently, "This is just the simplest method of goading. Can't you all tell?"
"Elder Chu, are we just going to let him bully us?" A young disciple raised his voice and shouted, "If we pretend that nothing happened, then all the sects will know that we are easy to bully and will definitely take the opportunity to come to us!"
"That's right, that's right!" A disciple echoed.
"If we don't fight back fiercely, our Heaven Devouring Sect will lose all our prestige, and anyone can bully us!"
"Fight back!"
"Destroy Radiant Surpassing Realm!"
The emotions of the disciples gradually became restless again, unable to suppress their excitement.
It was because he had been suppressing himself for too long, and now he took the opportunity to let it all out.
The Four Grand Elders looked at them coldly, not saying a word.
After they shouted wildly and slowly calmed down, Elder Chu said, "You may not know about Chu Li, but we do. He is a top-notch master in the Grandmaster Realm, a rare existence in the world. You're just courting death by looking for him. If any of you have the guts, I won't stop you. Go ahead!"
His face was gloomy, and his gaze swept across the crowd like a blade.
"Is Chu Li stronger than Wu Yuansi?" someone asked.
Another skinny Elder Yu nodded. "He's not much weaker than Wu Yuansi, so you must think carefully. Don't be hot-headed and act rashly."
"Elder Yu, we can't deal with Wu Yuansi, but can we deal with Chu Li?" the disciples asked unwillingly.
Elder Yu nodded. "Sect Leader Liang and He Yushan aren't here. With the current masters in our sect, no one can stop Chu Li."
The crowd fell silent, feeling increasingly depressed.
"Elder Chu, we can't deal with Chu Li, but can't we deal with the rest of Radiant Surpassing Realm?" A disciple scoffed. "We'll ambush Radiant Surpassing Realm and lure Chu Li away first!"
Everyone nodded.
After luring Chu Li away, they would deal with Radiant Surpassing Realm. By the time Chu Li realized that Radiant Surpassing Realm was already heavily injured, they would have achieved their goal.
They had to let everyone know the consequences of provoking the Heaven Devouring Sect and form a strong deterrent. Only then would the Heaven Devouring Sect be at peace. Otherwise, there would be endless troubles. No one would have a good life, and their original glory would no longer exist.
They knew very well that all the sects were eyeing them covetously. As long as one sect jumped out to take the lead, countless other sects would rush out and destroy the Heaven Devouring Sect.
"Since all of you think so, alright, we'll start with Radiant Surpassing Realm!" Elder Chu sighed and said slowly, "We'll split into three groups. One group will deal with Chu Li, and the other two will kill the new realm master of Radiant Surpassing Realm. It'll be fine as long as we kill the new realm master."
Everyone's spirits were lifted. They felt that this was a good idea. Although they were suspected of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, establishing their authority was the most important thing.
"It's better for the elders to take action," Elder Yu said slowly.
Everyone looked helpless.
They really wanted to rush to Radiant Surpassing Realm and start a massacre to vent their anger. Unfortunately, they did not have the strength to do so. They would only be a burden if they went and would only be sending themselves to their deaths. They were not afraid of death, but they did not want to die in vain.
"All of you, go back and cultivate well." Elder Chu waved his hand.
Everyone left dejectedly.
When only the Four Great Inheritance Elders were left, their faces were solemn and gloomy.
"This Chu Li is too powerful …" Elder Yu sighed. "I'll do it myself. I'm afraid the others won't be able to escape."
Their goal was to lure Chu Li out. They needed to retreat in time to avoid dying at his hands, and there were not many in the sect who could escape from Chu Li.
Chu Li had only displayed a few moves, but they already understood that they could not fight him. This was another Wu Yuansi, another monster. Usually, it was the Heaven Devouring Sect that produced such monsters, but now the tables had turned.
"Alright." Elder Chu nodded slowly.
Among everyone, Elder Yu's Void Diversion Technique was the strongest. He could manipulate the void, so no matter how strong Chu Li was, he could not stop him. The only worry was that he could not withstand one move from Chu Li.
"Bring everything that needs to be brought," Elder Chu said in a low voice. "Bring the Titanium Orb."
"… Mm." Elder Yu nodded.
The Titanium Orb was a protective energy barrier. Not only could it protect one's body, but it could also be used to counterattack. It was a treasure.

Chu Li returned to Great Light Surpassing Realm and went to the peak where Sun Mingyue originally lived. Sun Mingyue was in a snow-white robe, reading a dossier in a house on the peak.
When she saw him enter, Sun Mingyue put down the dossier and looked up with a smile. "It's settled?"
"I've caused trouble for Great Light Surpassing Realm." Chu Li smiled. "The Heaven Devouring Sect will probably come to kill you. Be careful."
"I know you're up to no good," Sun Mingyue said. "They want to kill me to establish their authority?"
She could roughly guess what was going on. The two of them had a tacit understanding and could guess each other's actions.
If the Heaven Devouring Sect counterattacked, if Great Light Surpassing Realm could suppress them, her authority would be established. This was a shortcut, but the premise was that she could endure it.
Chu Li said, "It's just up ahead. Be prepared."
"Mm, I'll be careful." Sun Mingyue nodded.
Chu Li said, "They're not to be trifled with, especially with the Sky Devouring Technique and Lightning Taming Divine Power. It's impossible to guard against them."
"I'd like to experience that." Sun Mingyue scoffed.
After the two of them finished speaking, Chu Li's expression changed. "So fast!"
Sun Mingyue frowned and scoffed. "They're here!"
Chu Li nodded.
"Chu Li!" A loud bell reverberated in Great Light Surpassing Realm.
Chu Li said, "I'm here!"
