Xu Qiang said, "I can tell that Zhou Yong is a thorn in Sect Leader Song's side. He has to get rid of him, don't worry."
"That's for the best." Jing Xiaojie smiled. "If Senior Brother Fan knows that we've avenged him, he'll be furious."
Xu Qiang smiled. "He's a reasonable person, he should know that he won't be able to avenge himself."
Zhou Yong's martial arts were crippled and he was a lone wolf in his own courtyard. He rarely left Heaven Saber Sect, so Fan Yi had no chance to ambush him and could only barge into Heaven Saber Sect.
No matter how powerful he was, he could not barge into Heaven Saber Sect to kill someone. Fan Yi understood that it was inevitable for him to be killed by Heaven Saber Sect before he could kill Zhou Yong.
In any case, it was fortunate that he managed to avenge himself.
"I'm just worried that Senior Brother Fan will insist on avenging himself." Jing Xiaojie shook her head.
She felt that if it were her, she would have to take revenge for the destruction of the residence on her own. Otherwise, her thoughts wouldn't be smooth and her mind wouldn't be able to relax. Even if someone else helped her take revenge, she wouldn't be too happy and would only feel regret.
Chu Li smiled. "It's not impossible for Brother Fan to avenge himself."
Xu Qiang smiled and turned to Chu Li. "Li Qi, thank you for your help. I'll convince the Elders to agree to this. From today onwards, you'll be our High Official!"
"… Thank you, Sect Leader!" Chu Li fist saluted.
Although the Elders had to agree to be a High Official, the Elders would not disobey the Sect Leader since he was determined to be a High Official. Chu Li failed to become a High Official previously because he did not get Xu Qiang's approval.
Xu Qiang said sternly, "It's not easy being a High Official of Southern Heavenly Gate. It's not as relaxing as I thought."
Chu Li replied, "No matter what, it's better to have the sect to rely on!"
"Don't worry, from now on, you're a member of Southern Heavenly Gate." Xu Qiang smiled. "Oh right, can you derive anything else from the Passing Light Divine Sword?"
Chu Li sighed helplessly. "I can't derive anything because I'm being attacked by an invisible force. My inner energy cultivation level is too weak and I can't resist it. It's a pity."
"If your inner energy cultivation level increases, can you derive more?" Xu Qiang asked.
Chu Li nodded slowly.
Right now, it was extremely difficult for him to improve his cultivation because he had reached a bottleneck. Without enough merit, he would not be able to reach the twelfth layer of the Prajna Dragon-Elephant Art. Then, he would not be able to break through the bottleneck. It would be futile. Even if he used the exotic flowers and fruits to increase his cultivation, it would be useless.
"I see …" Xu Qiang touched his chin and nodded slowly. "This matter is not urgent. Cultivate slowly. Let Xiaojie help you settle down. Xiaojie is very familiar with the Consecration Yard."
"Yes." Chu Li nodded.
Jing Xiaojie sent Xu Qiang off with a smile, then turned her head and said, "Congratulations, Brother Li."
Chu Li smiled. "I've finally entered the Southern Heavenly Gate. This step was too difficult. If it weren't for Miss Jing's help, I wouldn't have been able to enter!"
"With Brother Li's ability, there's no need to worry about not being able to enter!" Jing Xiaojie said, "Let's go. Let's go to the Consecration Courtyard first. I'll help you pick a courtyard before collecting your salary!"
"Alright." Chu Li was in high spirits and excited.

"Senior Brother Zhou, I'm impressed!" Song Manyin looked at Zhou Yong and sighed. "I've really underestimated you!"
"You flatter me," Zhou Yong said proudly. "I'm just a cripple."
"How did Senior Brother Zhou know that the Formless Blade was in the hands of Senior Brother Fan and the others?" Song Manyin held her dress and sat at the stone table in the middle of the gazebo. She said softly, "Senior Brother Fan and the others must keep it a secret."
"They couldn't determine that it was the Formless Blade so they asked me to identify it." Zhou Yong sighed. "I really didn't want to kill Senior Brother Fan and Senior Sister Lu. Unfortunately, they didn't know what was good for them and refused to hand over the blade."
"If it were you, how could you hand over such a treasured blade?" Song Manyin asked.
Zhou Yong said, "Then they can only blame their bad luck. I didn't think that they would make a mistake in the end and let a small fish escape!"
"Senior Brother Zhou, just admit to your crimes." Song Manyin said, "I can spare your life."
"Heh!" Zhou Yong sneered and shook his head. "I understand your wishful thinking. I'll admit to my crimes first. Then, you'll have a justifiable reason to kill me. As for not killing me, it's just to coax a child!"
Song Manyin frowned. "Senior Brother Zhou, you have nothing now. Are you really going to fight to the end?"
"It's just death. It's best if it makes you uncomfortable," Zhou Yong said coldly. "The Sect Leader of the Heaven-Saber Sect shouldn't be a woman!"
"Sigh …" Song Manyin sighed. "I really don't want to kill my fellow disciples!"
"No one will see your hypocrisy!" Zhou Yong sneered and looked at her from the corner of his eyes. "You've been waiting for this day for a long time, haven't you?"
Song Manyin sighed. "I don't care if Senior Brother Zhou believes it or not, I really didn't want to come to this. It's your bad luck that forced me to have no other choice!"
The heavier her expression became, the happier she felt.
Back then, in order to fight for the position of Sect Leader, she had been schemed against by Zhou Yong countless times. If not for her good luck, she would have died in Zhou Yong's hands.
Zhou Yong looked at her from the corner of his eyes and revealed a mocking smile. "Junior Sister Song, do you really think you'll win?"
As he spoke, he waved his hand.
Instantly, his green robe fluttered in the wind, and a blurry blade appeared in his hand. The blade was faintly discernible, but one could vaguely tell that it was a flying blade.
Song Manyin's expression changed slightly, and she stared at him. "You didn't lose your martial arts?!"
"Haha …" Zhou Yong laughed and shook his head. "Did I fool you, Junior Sister Song? I've obtained a special technique by chance, which can conceal my martial arts. I've been painstakingly cultivating it all these years, and with the help of the Non-Phase Blade, do you think you can escape from my blade? "
His gaze fell on the distorted light in his hand.
Song Manyin's gentle and beautiful face turned gloomy, and she stared at him coldly. "I've really underestimated you!"
"The Sect Leader inherited the Heaven Saber Sect's highest Heaven Saber. Junior Sister Song, I wonder if you've mastered it." Zhou Yong's green robe fluttered in the wind, as if he was standing in the wind. His temperament was calm and confident, and his face that had experienced the vicissitudes of life suddenly became energetic, as if he had suddenly become several decades younger, as if he had become a different person. "Then let's see which one is better, my Non-Phase Blade or the Heaven Saber!"
He swung his hand, and the Non-Phase Blade disappeared.
Song Manyin suddenly disappeared.
The next moment, Zhou Yong also disappeared, and a hearty laughter floated in the air. "Junior Sister Song, there's no need to send me off, I'll be back!"
His laughter lingered in the air above the backyard, but it did not spread out.
Song Manyin appeared again, and she stared at the top of the gazebo with a gloomy expression.
There was nothing strange above the gazebo, and she really did not know where the Non-Phase Blade was hidden.
The Non-Phase Blade silently appeared in Zhou Yong's hand, and it was obvious that he had reached a state where he could control it freely. However, he probably had scruples about her Heaven Saber, so he did not fight it head-on, and directly escaped.
She secretly clenched her teeth, and shouted in a deep voice, "Come!"
A green-gowned girl appeared, and she gave a fist salute. "Sect Leader!"
"Pass down my order, Zhou Yong killed a fellow disciple, and his crime is punishable by death!" Song Manyin said in a deep voice, "Spread the word that anyone who can kill Zhou Yong will be rewarded with a Heaven Saber Order!"
"Yes!" The green-gowned girl bowed and left.
Song Manyin stood on the spot, and looked at the sparkling surface of the lake. Chu Li's face flashed in her mind.
His dark face was calm, and his eyes were bright, as if he could see through everything in the world. She wondered if this Southern Heaven Gate's High Official had predicted this!
