"Yes, I'm in seclusion." Kong Zhichao thought about it and said, "It seems like I need to go into seclusion for a long time. No one is allowed to disturb me, or it will be a capital offense."
Chu Li asked, "In your opinion, are they telling the truth?"
"There's no need to lie, right?" Kong Zhichao frowned and said, "At that time, we had already filtered out the traitors. They should have believed us, so there was no need to lie."
Chu Li nodded and asked, "How many types of mutant fruits have you consumed?"
"It's different for everyone," Kong Zhichao said. "It depends on your latent talent. Some people eat one fruit, while others eat several. It all depends on your luck. I ate three fruits, so I'm considered average."
Chu Li said, "Now that my inner power has suddenly increased, it's comparable to my previous hard work. Isn't this a wonderful feeling?"
"Yes." Kong Zhichao smiled.
Anyone would feel that their cultivation had suddenly skyrocketed. The feeling of reaping without sowing was too good. Moreover, they would be able to obtain another opportunity to improve in the future.
As long as one contributed to the sect, they would be able to enter the Arcane Grounds to raise their cultivation. The greater the contribution, the more they would stand out from the crowd. In the end, they would be able to rely on their contributions to become the top disciple and become the future Sect Leader.
The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Wind Sect would be the Realm Lord of the Sky Demon Realm in the future. His words would carry enormous weight. Just thinking about it made Ye Chen feel good. Only then would he be able to live in this world.
Chu Li replied, "Alright, I'm done with my questions. Senior Lu?"
Lu Qingxue said, "I only have one question, have you ever killed a disciple of the Dancing Butterfly Sect?"
"No." Kong Zhichao's expression changed slightly. He hurriedly shook his head and said, "How could he kill the Dancing Butterfly Sect's disciples? He only knows how to curry favor."
As he spoke, he looked at Cheng Yuan.
Cheng Yuan stroked his beard and smiled. "Don't worry, Qing Xue. None of the disciples in the sect would dare to act recklessly. They all know my taboo!"
Every disciple knew that he was deeply in love with Lu Qingxue. Killing a disciple of the Dancing Butterfly Sect was equivalent to provoking him. Who would dare to violate this taboo?
Lu Qingxue snorted. "One of my sect's disciples died mysteriously, and we haven't been able to find the murderer."
"Could that be Ashur's doing?" Cheng Yuan smiled and said, "You should have looked for me earlier. I'll divine it and I'll definitely be able to find the murderer!"
"No need." Lu Qingxue snorted.
She suspected that the disciples of the Great Dream Sect did it. She had a strange feeling, but she couldn't explain it. She couldn't hand it over to Cheng Yuan.
Cheng Yuan shook his head and sighed, "You … why do you have to worry so much for your disciple? If it were me, I would definitely shamelessly ask for help."
Lu Qingxue glared at him.
Cheng Yuan chuckled and looked at Chu Li. "Yuan Si, what do you think? There's no problem with my disciple, right?"
Chu Li sighed and said nothing.
Cheng Yuan's expression changed slightly. "Yuan Si, what do you mean by this?"
"Not much of what he said was true." Chu Li sighed. "It's a pity, Sect Leader Cheng."
Cheng Yuan frowned and stared at him, still in disbelief.
Chu Li said, "Whether it's true or not, Sect Leader Cheng can decide for yourself."
Lu Qingxue frowned. "How is that possible …"
These spies usually had something to worry about. It was highly possible that their parents or brothers were in the Great Dream Sect, and they were related to the Great Dream Sect by blood. It was impossible for them to betray the Great Dream Sect, but they did.
Chu Li smiled and did not say anything else.
Kong Zhichao shouted, "Sect Leader Wu, you're the leader of a sect, but you're making irresponsible remarks. You're really infuriating!"
Chu Li looked at him calmly and did not say anything.
Kong Zhichao shouted, "Do you know how much effort and effort you've wasted with that one sentence of yours? How many days of fear have I endured? Now you're saying that I've betrayed the sect. You should be punished. When have I ever offended you? Or are you plotting against the Great Dream Sect?"
Chu Li said, "You have a glib tongue. No wonder you can survive in the Tianfeng Sect."
He turned his head and smiled at Cheng Yuan. "Sect Leader Cheng Yuan is good at using people."
Cheng Yuan frowned and looked at him, trying to figure out if he was joking.
Chu Li said, "Senior Lu, let's take our leave first. I still have something to attend to."
"Alright." Lu Qingxue nodded and gave him a look.
The two fist saluted and disappeared.
The next moment, they appeared in the Dance Butterfly Sect's current basilica.
Chu Li glanced at them and smiled. "What does Senior Lu want to say?"
"Kong Zhichao really betrayed us?" Lu Qingxue asked.
Chu Li nodded slowly. "There's indeed a mountain after entering the arcane realm, but there must be a secret passage in the mountain. If not, it'd be difficult to survive. Even after passing through the mountain, there's a valley with a spirit beast in the valley. I was severely injured by the spirit beast and almost lost my life. I don't dare to enter again."
"If I enter without knowing this …" Lu Qingxue's face darkened.
Chu Li smiled. "I'll definitely die."
"If that's the case, Kong Zhichao has betrayed us," Lu Qingxue said slowly with a heavy expression.
Chu Li said, "Definitely."
Lu Qingxue looked up at the algae well in the basilica. The patterns were complicated and beautiful.
"Sigh … Cheng Yuan might not believe it." Lu Qingxue sighed. "He's a suspicious person. It's a common problem for smart people."
Chu Li laughed. "He shouldn't be suspicious when he should be, but he should be suspicious when he shouldn't be. No one can do anything about that."
"Yes …" Lu Qingxue sighed. "I'll try to persuade him."
She disliked Cheng Yuan and disapproved of him, but after all, Cheng Yuan had been deeply in love with her for so many years. She couldn't just watch him jump into the fire pit and seek his own death, so she tried to persuade him as much as she could.
If he really did not listen, no one could do anything about it. He could only blame himself.
Chu Li said, "Senior Lu, your words are useful. It's better to persuade him."
"I still have to thank you this time, Yuan Si." Lu Qingxue sighed. "The arcane realm really makes people go crazy. It can change a loyal disciple's heart. What else can't it do?"
Chu Li sighed. "That's why Senior Lu still has to be wary of Sect Leader Cheng."
Lu Qingxue looked at him in surprise.
She was worried that Chu Li was completely loyal to Cheng Yuan and had no wariness. It seemed that no one who became the sect leader was a fool. It was not that Yuan Si was not wary, he was just pretending!
Chu Li sighed. "The benefits of the arcane realm are not big enough yet. Sect Leader Cheng has great ambitions. If Senior Lu becomes his obstacle, I'm afraid …"
He shook his head as he spoke.
Lu Qingxue was worried that he was not wary and was completely loyal to Cheng Yuan. He was also worried that Lu Qingxue was not wary of Cheng Yuan and would be harmed by Cheng Yuan. Although Cheng Yuan loved her deeply, when it came to the choice between love and the dream of the sect, Cheng Yuan would definitely choose the latter.
Lu Qingxue met his gaze and slowly nodded. "Understood."
She suddenly realized that she had been too careless. It seemed that she had been guarding against Cheng Yuan, but she was not completely on guard. If Cheng Yuan really wanted to harm her, it would be very difficult to guard against him.
Chu Li smiled and fist saluted. "Then I'll take my leave."
"You're not going into the arcane realm?" Lu Qingxue asked.
Chu Li shook his head. "I'll see after I go into isolated cultivation. Otherwise, I'll die if I go in."
"That's right." Lu Qingxue smiled and fist saluted.
Chu Li suddenly disappeared and Lu Qingxue appeared in front of Cheng Yuan. She looked at his smiling face and looked at Kong Zhichao opposite him.
"Hehe … It seems that I really deceived Yuan Si." Cheng Yuan clapped and laughed.
