The other eight sensed something and turned to look around. They realized that one of them was missing.
"Where's Senior Huang?" A skinny elder asked.
The other seven frowned and looked around. They stood up and didn't see the elder.
Chu Li had appeared too quickly. They didn't even see him or feel him. They just felt that something was wrong and realized that their comrade was missing.
This discovery sent chills down their spines.
They felt that if Senior Huang didn't leave on his own, he might have been kidnapped!
"It's Chu Li!" One of the elders shouted, "Chu Li, show yourself!"
The other seven's faces darkened.
They were actually waiting for either Chu Li or Sun Mingyue. As long as one of them appeared, they would use the Thunder God's Apocalyptic Technique. No matter what, both of them were trouble. It was worth it to kill one of them.
As for the Lightning Pool, it was destined that they wouldn't be able to defend it. They would drag one of them down with them. At least the others wouldn't dare to disrespect the Lightning Pool. If they could kill Chu Li or Sun Mingyue, who else could they not?
They had already used the Nine Heavens Thunder Punishment. Chu Li or Sun Mingyue would definitely appear. However, they didn't see them. Instead, one of their own had disappeared.
With one missing, the eight of them couldn't use the Thunder God's Apocalyptic Technique!
"Chu Li, why are you sneaking around? Come out!" Another elder shouted.
In a flash, they gathered together. They each stood in their respective positions and formed a small formation.
Since they couldn't use the Thunder God's Apocalyptic Technique, they could only try to protect themselves and exhaust Chu Li.
Chu Li suddenly appeared on top of a boulder. It was the spot where he had kidnapped the elder. He glanced at the eight elders who had gathered together and scoffed. "What a Thunder Pool. I've underestimated you guys!"
"It really is you, Chu Li!" The eight elders' hearts sank.
They were originally hoping that it wasn't Chu Li but Sun Mingyue.
Compared to Chu Li, Sun Mingyue had a sliver of hope. But against Chu Li, they were in despair.
Chu Li glanced at them and said, "Do you really not care about the Lightning Pool's life or death? Do you really want to take revenge?"
"Even if we don't do anything, we'll still be annihilated." The chubby elder standing in the middle said in a low voice, "Chu Li, will you spare us?"
Chu Li nodded. "The Thunder Pool isn't much of a threat, and I've already spared you. Yet, you're courting death. What can I do?"
"Ridiculous!" The chubby old man said coldly, "How many of our experts have been killed? How much have we been weakened? That's why we can't refuse the Elders Council's request! "
Chu Li frowned. "If that's the case, are you blaming me?"
"You reap what you sow. Chu Li, you should know this." The chubby old man sneered and said, "We're just knives in the hands of the Elders Guild. You didn't go to them, but came to us instead. Are you trying to pick on the weak? Do you want to pinch it? "
Chu Li said, "I want to look for them, but unfortunately, I can't find them. They're too mysterious."
"Hehe …" The chubby old man sneered, "The Elders Guild is just making things up. There's nothing mysterious about it!"
Chu Li chuckled. "That's interesting. Why is the Elders Guild deliberately mystifying things? How do I find them? … If I can really find them, then I'll spare the Thunder Pool this time. You're not a threat anyway! "
"Are you serious?" The chubby old man asked in a low voice.
They were already prepared to die. Everything was for the Thunder Pool. But if they could survive and Chu Li spared the Thunder Pool, that would be the best.
Chu Li said, "Why would I lie to you? … But the Elders Guild is mysterious. It won't be easy to find them, right? "
"Others can't find the Elders Guild, but we can!" The chubby old man scoffed. "… But you have to swear to God that if I can help you find the Elders Guild's lair, you'll protect the Thunder Pool's inheritance!"
"Alright!" Chu Li put his fingers together and swore.
The chubby old man smiled and looked at the other seven people.
They all nodded and smiled in satisfaction.
"Say it," Chu Li said in a low voice.
He had already seen it in the chubby old man's mind, but he wanted the others to say it themselves. They would cut ties with the Elders Guild and be completely loyal to the Great Light Surpassing State.
"They're at the Floating Peak." The chubby old man said, "This peak is suspended in the void. It's nowhere to be found. The Floating Peak is the most mysterious place in the world."
He reached into his pocket and took out a small silver sword. He passed it to Chu Li and said, "This sword was personally made by the Pool Leader. There's only one of this in the world. Even the Elders Guild don't have this sword. The Pool Leader passed it to me personally. With this sword, I can find the Floating Peak!"
"This was secretly made by Song Wuji, right?" Chu Li took it and smiled. "You want me to die with the Elders Guild, right?"
"The Elders Guild is very powerful to us, but to you, it's easy to deal with, right?" The chubby old man said in a low voice.
Chu Li nodded. "That makes sense. In that case, you guys continue to guard the Thunder Pool. Goodbye."
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared in a flash. The next moment, the old man who was taken away suddenly appeared. He sat on a boulder and looked at the chubby old man and the others blankly. He was directly knocked out. He didn't know what happened and only felt a little dazed.
The other eight people saw him appear unscathed and silently. They felt an inexplicable chill in their hearts. They couldn't bring themselves to fight against him. It was like ants facing a giant elephant. No matter how hard they tried, no matter how hard they tried, there was still little hope. Their fighting spirit and fighting spirit unknowingly dissipated.
As soon as Chu Li took the silver sword, a towering peak appeared in his mind.
This peak seemed to be right in front of him. It seemed like he could cross it with one step as long as he injected enough inner energy into the silver sword.
The inner energy of the Dragon Elephant Wisdom Technique was pure and overbearing as it was injected into the silver sword. The silver sword gradually glowed and emitted a silver light. The light became brighter and brighter. Then, it disappeared.
Chu Li had already disappeared from the spot.
He had arrived at a peak under the guidance of the silver sword. He was stepping into a lush ancient forest. Every tree was so tall that it would take two people to wrap their arms around it. The feeling of vastness was overwhelming.
He used the Omniscient Mirror to observe the peak and sighed in his heart.
This Floating Peak was similar to the Floating Mountain in the lower realm. However, it was bigger and the spiritual energy was denser. If he cultivated in it, he would get twice the result with half the effort.
There were a total of one hundred and twenty-three people in the Floating Peak. They were all men who were hundreds of years old. Their cultivation level had reached the peak.
Half of these elders were immersed in cultivation, while the other half were busy flipping through pages of plain paper. Little birds landed and flew out from time to time. The bamboo tubes on their feet were untied, and then they were fed before flying out again.
The birds flew in all directions and returned from all directions to pass the news to this place.
Chu Li sighed. This was the core of the Elder Society. He didn't expect it to be so powerful. It was stronger than any of the sects. Even Tai Hao Peak was far from it.
These were only the core. There were also the elders and sect leaders of the various sects.
Chu Li sighed again.
He needed merit now, not to kill. That was why he spared the nine elders from the Thunder Pool. Moreover, he had seen through the Heaven's Eye that they had lost their fighting spirit. If they were alive, they would affect the Thunder Pool. If they were dead, it would make the Thunder Pool more united against the enemy.
