Chu Li said, "I was waiting for Song Wuji to come out of isolation for another battle. The last time we fought, I was at a disadvantage. I wonder how much stronger he has become after his isolation. I'm really looking forward to it!"
As he finished, he revealed the loneliness of a master and took another sip of tea.
Xu Ying said, "I really had no choice this time. I had to force myself to do it or I wouldn't be able to back down. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have been so stubborn. I could have just laughed it off."
Chu Li smiled and said, "Palace Leader Xu is a man of great righteousness, but this matter still has to be attributed to the Lieque Palace. They've been restless, wanting to take me down a notch. Is it because the Lieque Palace has produced an extraordinary master?"
"About that …" Xu Ying hesitated.
Chu Li said, "Is that the Heaven Shaking Tower?"
"… Hehe." Xu Ying laughed and lowered his head to drink his tea.
Chu Li nodded confidently. It seemed like it was the Heaven Shaking Tower. The Heaven Shaking Tower really could not be underestimated. The continuous emergence of masters might have something to do with their divination. Divination allowed them to know where there were fortuitous encounters, and those who obtained fortuitous encounters could produce masters.
Chu Li sighed. "The Heaven Shaking Tower … is indeed majestic. However, their strength is built on the luck of others. If they keep doing this, aren't they afraid of the backlash?"
"What backlash?" Xu Ying was surprised.
Chu Li said, "The backlash of the heavens. One cannot take all the benefits or the heavens will be jealous. This is an iron law. I believe that the Heaven Shaking Tower understands this but they are still greedy. This time, the master must have come from a fortuitous encounter, right?"
"About that … we are not sure. Since the Heaven Shaking Tower said they have a way to deal with you, Master Chu, they must have a way." Xu Ying sighed. "Master Chu, you still have to be careful."
Since Gale Palace had surrendered, if Chu Li won in the end, they would be forgiven. After all, Chu Li was too strong and they could not force themselves. However, if Chu Li lost, they would be in an awkward situation. They would be laughed at and ignored. Even if they did not end up like the Rain Master Palace, they would not be much stronger.
The Heaven Shaking Pavilion's position was respected and was only slightly lower than that of the Taihao Peak. If they wanted to deal with Chu Li and the Windstorm Palace did not comply, they would definitely be isolated by the Nine Divisions. It would not be easy for them to raise their heads.
That was why he had been hesitant and tormented earlier. Now that he had made his choice, he could only walk to the end and gamble on his luck. He sighed and said, "It is said that this Young Master Jin's cultivation is peerless. He is the next Song Wuji."
Chu Li laughed. "The next Song Wuji? Where did so many Song Wujis come from? Could it be that this Young Master Jin is a deity who ascended from the heavens? "
"It's a disciple of the Heaven Shaking Pavilion." Xu Ying shook his head slowly and said, "However, he is extremely talented and possesses a photographic memory. He is a natural born genius and can master any martial art the moment he practices it. Furthermore, his meridians are wide and connected, saving a normal person a hundred years of hard work. He is unbelievably strong."
Chu Li nodded slowly. "How is he compared to Song Wuji?"
"I'm afraid it's still not enough. After all, it's still too early," Xu Ying said.
Chu Li smiled. "That's it then. As long as he's not stronger than Song Wuji, it's fine. Will he come?"
"He will appear at the most appropriate time," Xu Ying said.
Chu Li pondered for a moment and said, "Alright then, I'll go to the Lieque Hall."
"This …" Xu Ying hesitated. "Elder Han is actually the same as me. We have no choice but to do this. The Heaven Shaking Pavilion is in charge of this matter. We have no choice but to comply."
Chu Li smiled. "That will depend on whether Hall Leader Han is as wise as you, Hall Leader Xu."
"Sigh …" Xu Ying smiled bitterly. "This matter is extremely risky. Young Master Chu, you must be careful of this Jin Ning."
Since they had surrendered now, they could only bet on Chu Li being stronger and counteracting Jin Ning. If Chu Li was suppressed by Jin Ning, then there was no point in talking about it. The Cyclone Palace would be in deep trouble. No one knew how many years it would take for them to rise again.
Chu Li nodded slowly and gave a fist salute before disappearing.
Xu Ying turned his head to look at the surrounding elders and let out a long sigh. His face was no longer calm and composed. Instead, it was unusually distressed. "Elders, I really don't know if this is the right move or the wrong move."
"Don't worry, Hall Leader. This Chu Li is strong enough." The thin elder who had spoken earlier said in a low voice, "How can he be an ordinary top-notch master if he can come and go so freely in our formation?"
"That's true." Xu Ying cheered up.
The Cyclone Palace's formation was not just for show. It was a top-notch formation passed down from ancient times. It was also what they relied on. Now, Chu Li could easily transmit his voice into the formation and make all the disciples faint. He could still come and go as he pleased. Chu Li's abilities were stronger than they had imagined. As expected of someone who could fight against Song Wuji.

Chu Li did not go straight to the Vacancy Hall. Instead, he went back to the Great Light Surpassing Realm. He saw that Sun Mingyue was gathering some core disciples and was not in a hurry to give them spirit fruits. He smiled and cultivated the Spirit Cultivation Technique for a while before going to the Vacancy Hall.
The Vacancy Hall was also located on the mountainside. The peak was located outside a large city.
The structure of the Nine Divisions was almost the same. They were all built outside bustling large cities. Moreover, each division was a city. They could protect a city and at the same time, they could stay in the city.
As soon as Chu Li appeared in the Vacancy Hall, before he could say anything, a man in a purple robe appeared. He was tall and had a strong aura. He gave a fist salute and said, "Are you Young Master Chu?"
Chu Li gave a fist salute. "Yes, I am Chu Li. Greetings, Hall Leader Han."
He immediately recognized the middle-aged man with a strong aura in front of him. He was the Hall Leader of the Vacancy Hall, Han Wuwei.
Han Wuwei smiled. "Young Master Chu, please — —!"
Chu Li nodded his head and followed Han Wuwei inside.
On the martial arts field in front of the hall, many disciples were practicing martial arts. More than ten elders stood at the side and watched. They had a steady aura and their eyes were like lightning. They were intimidating. They were all people with profound cultivation levels.
Chu Li glanced at them and knew that these sixteen elders were the elders of the Vacancy Hall. Their cultivation levels were the highest. His eyes flashed with a blue brilliance, but he did not attack with his God Punishing Thunder Sword.
The sixteen old men's faces were stern as they avoided his gaze.
The Vacancy Divine Power that they cultivated was about speed. However, blindly pursuing speed would cause them to lose their composure. Therefore, the more profound the Vacancy Divine Power was, the more steady one's aura was, and the more reliable they looked.
The power of their gaze was the manifestation of the Vacancy Divine Power. Those with profound cultivation levels could cause people to faint with their gaze.
Chu Li sighed and turned to look at Han Wuwei. "Does Hall Leader Han want to see my cultivation level?"
"There's no need for that." Han Wuwei chuckled. "I know how powerful Young Master Chu is. We were just fooling around with the Great Light Surpassing State. Don't take it seriously."
Chu Li smiled. "That's good."
"But Young Master Chu, you still have to be careful. The Heaven Shaking Pavilion wants to deal with you." Han Wuwei said, "We're just pawns that were pushed out. We're just stirring things up and testing your strength, Young Master Chu."
Chu Li asked, "Where's Young Master Jin?"
"He'll be here soon." Han Wuwei said, "Whether you live or die depends on the battle with him. If Young Master Chu can win, the Nine Divisions will behave themselves."
Chu Li smiled. "The Heaven Shaking Pavilion seems to be very confident."
"They're divining the heavens' secrets. Once they go against you, Young Master Chu, everyone will think that they're confident," Han Wuwei said.
He had already received news from the Gale Palace and knew how shocking Chu Li's cultivation level was. His resistance disappeared immediately.
