Chu Li frowned. This blue-robed young man's cultivation level was not high, but he still had the guts to pick a fight with him?
However, because the enthronement ceremony was being held today, the Protective Mountain Formation was not activated to avoid accidentally injuring others. Furthermore, with so many peak experts present, there was no need for the Protective Mountain Formation.
"Who are you?" A yellow-robed old man shouted in a deep voice.
The blue-clothed youth stood in the void with his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice, "I am Zheng Yu of the Heaven Devouring Sect."
Chu Li frowned. It was the Heaven Devouring Sect.
The yellow-robed elder said in a deep voice, "This is the Faction Master's Enthronement Ceremony. Unrelated people are not allowed to disturb us. Otherwise, don't blame us for being merciless. Please —!"
The blue-robed youth, Zheng Yu, shook his head. He cupped his fists and said, "I was ordered to ask Sect Master Wu for our Heaven Devouring Orb."
"Heaven Devouring Orb?" The yellow-robed old man shouted, "Nonsense! How are you going to ask the Sect Master for the Heaven Devouring Pearl!? Furthermore, how can you prove that the Heaven Devouring Orb is in our Sect Master's hands! "
"The pearl thief, Wu Yuansi of the Flying Heaven Sect!" Zheng Yu took out an iron token from his bosom and threw it to a middle-aged man. Then, he slowly said, "This is the token personally written by Sect Master Wu. We can't be mistaken, can we?"
The middle-aged man was the Sect Leader of the Guanhai Sect, Qu Huren. He was tall and burly with a bald head, leopard-like eyes, and a lion-like nose. He had a heroic air about him. After taking the token, he glanced at it, nodded, and passed it to the middle-aged man beside him.
"Sect Master Qu, Sect Master Wu's name is written on the token, right?" Zheng Yu asked.
Qu Huren nodded and said, "That's right, but who can prove that the words on it were written by Sect Master Wu?"
"Hehe …" Zheng Yu shook his head and laughed, "Sect Leader Wu's handwriting should be recognized, right?"
Chu Li stood on the stage and sized Zheng Yu up. He sighed and said, "I didn't expect your Heaven Devouring Sect to reach this point. In order to frame me, you've resorted to unscrupulous means, borrowing everyone's strength to deal with my Flying Heaven Sect!"
"You should know very well whether or not I'm deliberately targeting you!" Zheng Yu snorted and said, "Our Heaven Devouring Sect was indeed stolen by you, Sect Master Wu. I can swear to the heavens and the gods that if I'm lying, not only will I die on the spot, my sect will also disappear!"
Everyone was skeptical.
The iron tag was quickly passed around among the crowd. Most of them had never seen Chu Li's handwriting before and were just here to watch the show. Once they saw Chu Li's handwriting, they would naturally be able to tell if it was real or not.
However, since Zheng Yu dared to make such a vow, they had to believe him.
Chu Li stared at Zheng Yu with furrowed brows.
It seemed like this was a meticulous plan, and it was not just a single move. It would be a series of moves to force him to make a fool out of himself during the ceremony so that the other Sect Leaders would covet the Soaring Heaven Sect, turning the Soaring Heaven Sect into the public enemy.
Chu Li activated the Omniscient Mirror, but Zheng Yu's entire body was enveloped by an invisible force. Although his cultivation level was not high, his treasures were extraordinary and could block Chu Li's prying.
As his soul energy grew stronger, the Omniscient Mirror also grew stronger. There were very few people in the world who could resist the Omniscient Mirror's observation. Not to mention those whose cultivation level was lower than his, even those whose cultivation level was one level higher than his could observe him.
The only ones he could not take care of were those whose cultivation level was much higher than his, or those who had peerless treasures that could block the spiritual invasion.
Zheng Yu's cultivation level was ordinary, so he did not arouse the crowd's vigilance. However, he had a treasure that could block others' prying. This showed the Devouring Heaven Sect's strength. No matter how weak they were, the Devouring Heaven Sect's deep heritage was not something that others could covet!
Chu Li sighed. "Alright, even if I take the Heaven Devouring Orb, what are you going to do?"
"Please return it to the Devouring Heaven Sect," Zheng Yu said sincerely. "You can exchange it with other treasures."
"What if I don't return it?" Chu Li asked.
Zheng Yu said, "Then don't blame the Devouring Heaven Sect for being merciless and declaring war on the Soaring Heaven Sect!"
Chu Li smiled. "In that case, you're here to declare war!"
"Yes," Zheng Yu said. "If Sect Leader Wu doesn't hand over the Heaven Devouring Orb, our sects will have to fight!"
Chu Li chuckled. "Looks like the Devouring Heaven Sect hasn't suffered enough. You've got another top-notch master to help you, so you're fearless. That's why you've come up with such a scheme. First, you're framing me, then you're declaring war. You're seizing the opportunity to let everyone watch from the sidelines and not attack you when you're down!"
Zheng Yu's heart trembled. He did not expect Wu Yuansi to be so powerful that he could see through their plan. However, his expression was nonchalant. "You've swallowed our Heaven Devouring Orb. The Heaven Devouring Orb is of great importance. We have no other choice. Otherwise, others will think that the Devouring Heaven Sect has weakened!"
Chu Li chuckled. "Alright, I'll wait for the Devouring Heaven Sect then!"
He touched his ring and turned to look at the crowd. He gave a fist salute and said, "Wu Yuansi thanks everyone for coming to support us. Please forgive me if I've not been a good host. I've just been appointed, so it's inevitable that I'll make mistakes. Please don't hold it against me if I've offended you."
"Sect Leader Wu, is the Heaven Devouring Orb really in your hands?" Qu Huren asked.
Chu Li smiled. "To be honest, it's not in my hands. I've never seen the Heaven Devouring Orb. I can swear to the gods and demons, but since the Devouring Heaven Sect has identified me, there's no point in denying it. Bring it on. I'd like to see how capable the Devouring Heaven Sect is."
He wanted to establish his authority, and the Devouring Heaven Sect came at the right time.
They had something to rely on, but he had a trump card too. He wanted to test the power of his Heavenly Demonic Blade Technique and Spirit Cultivation Technique.
"Alright, then wait for the Devouring Heaven Sect's means. Farewell!" Zheng Yu bowed solemnly and suddenly disappeared into the void.
Chu Li stared coldly at the direction where he disappeared and glanced at the sect leaders.
They began to discuss among themselves.
"This Wu Yuansi is so daring!"
"It's good to be young. There's nothing to fear, unlike us old guys who have to weigh the pros and cons repeatedly before starting a war. We have to consider the pros and cons and risks over and over again. It's so satisfying!"
"It's really unwise. Once they start fighting, even if they can defeat the Devouring Heaven Sect, their vitality will be greatly damaged. Won't the Tianfeng Sect die of laughter?"
"There's no other way. They have no choice but to fight. Wu Yuansi was quick to make the decision. If they don't want to fight, the Devouring Heaven Sect will force them to fight. They have no choice."
Chu Li looked at Zhao Lingfeng calmly. "Sect leader …"
Zhao Lingfeng waved his hand and pointed at his empty left hand. There was no black ring on it. He smiled. "See? You're the sect leader now. Everything is decided by you. Of course, you can discuss it with the elders, but they're busy cultivating in isolation. They don't have time to worry about these mundane matters. "
Chu Li sighed. "Sect leader, do you think my decision is appropriate?"
"I can't tell now." Zhao Lingfeng shook his head. "We can only discuss it when there's a result. Even if you've decided, try your best to stick to it. I'm no longer the sect leader, so I won't interfere in these matters. Today, I'll leave with Tianyi for a while."
Chu Li nodded slowly. "Yes!"
Zhao Lingfeng looked at Huang Tianyi, who was floating in the sky, and smiled gently.
Huang Tianyi was wearing an apricot gown. She floated down from the sky and landed in front of him. Zhao Lingfeng smiled and held her hand. The two smiled at the crowd, then floated up and slowly disappeared into the void.
