Li Tianya shook his head. "Zhang Hanhen was arrogant. He thought he could dominate the world just by being the leader of the sect. What a joke. In the end, he died a violent death. If it wasn't for his good luck, how could he have come back?!"
"It's good that he's back." Fu Xiaoning said, "It's important that he's lucky enough. Hanhen, who saved you?"
Her eyes were as calm as still water, but it made Chu Li wary. It was as if she could see through his thoughts.
If he did not let Fu Xiaoning see through his mind, she would notice something was wrong. If she did, she would notice something was wrong too. It was a dilemma and he needed to be decisive.
Chu Li shook his head in confusion. "Sect leader, I was confused too. I woke up out of nowhere but I was at the peak of a mountain. I came back to life but my martial arts was almost crippled. It seemed like I sacrificed my martial arts and lifespan to revive."
"Of course." Fu Xiaoning said, "The law of heaven and earth states that there's always a loss for every gain. You must have paid a price for your survival. If you didn't pay a price, the other party must've paid for it. They saved your life and bore the loss for you unless they're your parents!"
She speculated that it must've been done by a master who was passing by.
This was also a rare luck. To people in the martial arts world, luck was the most precious. With enough luck, one could have a fortuitous encounter and improve by leaps and bounds. With enough luck, one could turn danger into safety and escape death.
Not only did Zhang Hanhen survive this time, but he also benefited from it. Otherwise, his mind would've been in a daze.
Could it be that this master was the leader of the Devil Sect?
She then shook her head. The leader of the Devil Sect would not do such a thing. Although Zhang Hanhen was talented and was the top master among the younger generation of Heavenly Demonic Sect, he would not be noticed by the leader.
The world was big and there were countless extraordinary people. It was hard to guess.
Perhaps Zhang Hanhen benefited from the disaster and rose quickly to become the pillar of Heavenly Demonic Sect. Therefore, she should not be too harsh on him.
Chu Li looked dejected and sighed. "Sect leader, I don't know when I can recover my cultivation level. I think it'll be hard to recover."
"No." Fu Xiaoning said, "Maybe it's a blessing in disguise and you'll improve."
Chu Li smiled bitterly. "Thank you for your auspicious words, Sect Leader!"
"Bastard brat, how could Sect Master lie to you!" Li Tianya shouted, glaring at him coldly.
Chu Li shrunk his neck and hurriedly said, "Yes, Master, I was too arrogant."
"Go back and cultivate properly!" Li Tianya scolded impatiently, "Don't come out if you don't get your cultivation back!"
Chu Li put on a long face and nodded helplessly.
"Senior Martial Brother …" Fu Xiaoning chuckled. "It's worth congratulating him for coming back safely with hatred in his heart. Don't be so cold to him and chill his heart."
"What kind of heart does he have!" Li Tianya said angrily, "What a heartless fellow. All he does is go out and make a fool of himself!"
Chu Li walked into the ravine with his tail between his legs.
Everyone stepped aside and looked at him in amusement. They had seen this kind of situation many times, so they were not surprised.
Vice Sect Master Li Tianya had always believed that a strict master would produce a brilliant disciple, and he was extremely strict with his direct disciple Zhang Hanhen. He never said a single good word to Zhang Hanhen, and only Zhang Hanhen could endure it and persevere.
Chu Li secretly let out a sigh of relief and slowly arrived at a small courtyard.
He did not expect to pass so easily. He thought that he would have to interrogate them thoroughly, but he easily entered by pretending to be ignorant and not being suspected. It was obvious that they were very confident in their Heaven's Hatred Sea and felt that no one could imitate it.
They did not know that Chu Li had the Scripture of the Heavenly Demon, the Great Circle Mystical Mirror, and the Demon Suppression Seal. He was better at cultivating the martial arts of the Demonic Sect than the original disciples. As long as he was given enough time and opportunity, he could cultivate the martial arts of the Demonic Sect to be better than the masters of the Demonic Sect.
Sitting in the small courtyard, he let out a sigh of relief and continued to activate the Heaven's Hatred Sea and wanted to advance to the next level.
The Heaven's Hatred Sea and Emotion Sea required enough experience and a state of mind. One had to experience an emotional setback, and the more unforgettable the setback, the better. The more intense the love and hatred, the more beneficial it was for cultivation.
To prevent the disciples from knowing about it in advance, experiencing emotions for the sake of cultivation would cause them to be unable to fully concentrate. It would be useless in the end, as none of the disciples knew about this secret.
They only knew that the Heaven's Hatred Sea and Emotion Sea could only be cultivated under special conditions, so it would not be leaked. However, they did not know what the conditions were. It was a secret kept secret by the sect leader and the vice sect leader.
Chu Li saw it in the records of the Demon Suppression Hall.
Although he was in harmony with the ladies, he had also experienced life and death, and the entanglement of love and hate. Therefore, cultivating the Heaven's Hatred Sea and Emotion Sea was not difficult at all. He advanced very quickly, and after two hours, he vaguely advanced to the next level.
The sound of footsteps was heard. Li Tianya pushed the door open and entered. He walked to him with his hands behind his back and looked at him.
Chu Li stopped and closed fist saluted. "Master."
Li Tianya scoffed. "What happened?"
Chu Li smiled bitterly. "Master, I was really muddle-headed. I died for no reason, and then I came back to life for no reason. It's as if the heavens are playing a joke on me."
"What about Monk Ding Ru?" Li Tianya asked. "Are you confident if you meet him again?"
Chu Li hesitated and slowly shook his head.
"Looks like you've lost your confidence this time." Li Tianya scoffed. "Your Grudge Separation Pearl was used very well. He almost died on the spot. Unfortunately, he was lucky and held on for another two days. He's dead now!"
"He's really dead?" Chu Li hurriedly asked. "He won't come back to life like me, right?"
"Definitely not!" Li Tianya shook his head.
Chu Li looked hesitant.
Li Tianya scoffed. "I heard that it was that person who did it. She definitely won't give Monk Ding Ru a chance to come back to life."
"That's good!" Chu Li let out a sigh of relief. "But Master, since that person did it herself, why didn't she do it earlier?"
"Who knows?" Li Tianya shook his head. "No one in the world can guess her thoughts, but she must have her reasons for doing things. She won't be wrong. Your sacrifice won't be in vain. You'll have a great opportunity in the future!"
Chu Li smiled. "Master, are you trying to let me gain her appreciation?"
"Yes." Li Tianya said, "If you want to become a sect leader, this is the only way. Otherwise, with your aptitude and cultivation advancement, there's no hope!"
"… Don't worry, Master!" Chu Li said. "This time, after dying and coming back to life, I have a deeper understanding of the Ocean of Hatred and Heaven's Passion Power. My cultivation advancement is very fast. I'll be able to recover my cultivation level very soon. I might even advance another level!"
"Then this time, I didn't suffer in vain!" Li Tianya nodded in satisfaction. He stroked his beard and had a free and easy demeanor. "You can't be lax with Lu Hong either. You must firmly bind her heart!"
"… Yes." Chu Li showed a helpless expression.
Li Tianya scoffed. "She has feelings for you. Just don't let her down!"
He could naturally see his disciple's feelings for Lu Hong. It was not that he did not like Lu Hong. He just did not want to like her for the sake of utility. That would tarnish his true feelings and sincerity.
He secretly scolded his disciple for being childish. However, there was nothing he could do. He could only turn a blind eye. Fu Xiaoning was a discerning person. Zhang Hanhen's feelings for Lu Hong were not real.
