The old man sat on the ground and thought for a while. In the end, he turned around and returned to the Heavenly Demonic Sect.
With only one level of Heavenly Demonic Power left, Chu Li's Light-body Technique was greatly reduced. After much difficulty, he returned to Heavenly Demonic Sect and went straight to the basilica.
"Greetings, Martial Uncle Du!" he said in a deep voice outside the hall.
Elder Du's voice rang out, "Shen Bing? Come in! "
The old man, Shen Bing, stepped into the main hall. He cupped his fists and bowed to Elder Du, who was sitting on a cattail hassock. "Greetings, Martial Uncle Du."
As the sun set, the hall was bathed in gentle light. Elder Du sat on a cattail hassock, blending in with the shadows around him.
"Didn't you just go out? Why are you back?" Elder Du waved his hand. Suddenly, he exclaimed in surprise and frowned. "What happened? Are you injured?"
He felt that there was something wrong with Shen Bing's aura. Her cultivation was almost crippled.
"I was just about to report this matter." Shen Bing said coldly, "Not long after this disciple left the valley, I was ambushed by a fellow. After that, the Heaven Devil Orb was devoured, leaving me with only one layer of cultivation!"
"The Heavenly Demonic Orb has been devoured!" Elder Du frowned. "The Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique?"
"That's right!" Chen Bing said solemnly.
Elder Du frowned and asked, "Do you have any suspects?"
The Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique was an antique study unique to the Heavenly Demonic Sect. Even if others obtained it, they would not be able to cultivate it without the Heavenly Demonic Power. Therefore, only the disciples of the Heavenly Demonic Sect would be able to do this.
"It's Zhe Ying." Shen Bing scoffed.
Elder Du stared at him intently as if trying to see through his thoughts.
Shen Bing said, "Master's Junior Du, I know Zhe Ying's aura. It's him!"
"Little Ying wouldn't do such a thing!" Elder Du shook his head and said, "Although he's a little smart and greedy, he still knows what's right and what's wrong. He definitely won't violate the sect's rules!"
"Master's Junior Du, you guys don't understand Zhe Ying at all!" Shen Bing sneered and said, "He is obedient in front of you, but he is not like that outside. He is unscrupulous and greedy. It is normal for him to do such a thing!"
"Nonsense!" Elder Du said in a deep voice, "I know that you guys are jealous of Little Ying and think that he's too favored!"
"Master's Junior Du, you can ask the others if Zhe Ying is such a person!" Shen Bing snorted, "But his nature is indeed not bad. He did not kill me ruthlessly. He clearly could have killed me just now!"
"Of course. He's a kind child." Elder Du smiled.
Shen Bing said, "But even if he isn't bad, he still broke the rules. If this kind of thing happens once, there will be a second time. He will become addicted. Could it be that Master Du wants to protect him?"
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Elder Du said in a deep voice. "We'll definitely punish him!"
As he thought of this, he pressed the stone tablet beside him.
Elder Bai and the other two soon arrived. When they saw Shen Bing and heard what he had to say, their faces darkened.
Elder Bai's ruddy face revealed a helpless expression. "Why is it forbidden to use the Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique to devour the Heavenly Demonic Orb? It's because we're afraid of this. It'll make us crave the taste and be unable to extricate ourselves. Human greed is the hardest to control!"
"Senior Brother Bai, now that things have come to this, let's not talk about this anymore. Hurry up and tell us what we should do!" Elder Du said impatiently. "We have to think of a way to capture him as soon as possible so that he doesn't fall deeper into this trap!"
They could still be merciful after devouring a Heavenly Demonic Orb.
Lu Chaonan frowned and said, "Master's Juniors, in my opinion, we should just kill him!"
"Nonsense!" Elder Du said in a deep voice. "Young Ying's crime doesn't warrant the death penalty. He only devoured five layers of Shen Bing's orb and left one layer behind. He didn't die either, but the sect's forbidden rule is to cripple his martial arts and lock him up for ten years!"
Lu Chaonan knew that the Four Grand Elders treated Zhe Ying like their own grandson and doted on him more than usual. This made everyone in the valley feel disgusted.
It would be better if Zhe Ying knew how to behave himself. After all, his parents had died for the sake of the sect. His life was pitiful but respectable. However, he was usually obedient and adorable in front of the Four Grand Elders, but he was cold and arrogant in front of everyone else. He was too ashamed to be associated with them, which made everyone feel disgusted with him.
He frowned and said, "Master's Juniors, Zhe Ying is possessed and may not repent. Instead of causing trouble in the future, it's better to just kill him!"
"Is this how you treat your fellow disciples?!" Elder Du said coldly.
Elder Li said in a deep voice, "He doesn't deserve the death penalty! Lu Chaonan, you're not allowed to act recklessly. You can only capture him alive, but you can't kill him! "
"Yes." Lu Chaonan nodded helplessly.
"You know what to do. Bring some people out of the valley as soon as possible and capture him before he sinks too deep!" Elder Du said.
Lu Chaonan fist saluted and left the basilica with Shen Bing.

Chu Li sat on a boulder at the peak of a mountain and looked up at the clouds in the sky. He could feel the changes that the Heavenly Demonic Power had made to his body.
Now that he had reached the seventh level of the Heavenly Demonic Power, the changes in the void of his mind had nothing to do with the advancement of the Heavenly Demonic Power.
He could feel that his body had become lighter and lighter like a feather. It was as if his body had become weightless and his speed had become much faster than before. It was as if he had consumed two Wind Speed Pills.
The Wind Speed Pills were useless to him now, but the Heavenly Demonic Power had increased his speed, which had already exceeded his body's limits. He was pleasantly surprised because the power of his techniques had increased, and his Light-body Technique had also become faster.
The Life and Death Scripture and Omniscient Mirror had also been strengthened.
He took out the Heavenly Demonic Stone from his inner pocket and placed it on the boulder. Then, he laid his head on the Heavenly Demonic Stone and felt a chill seep into his mind.
He had already figured out the magical effects of the Heavenly Demonic Stone. It could not strengthen one's soul and could only restore it, but it was already very rare. Some of his divine powers, Omniscient Mirror, and Life and Death Scripture all consumed his soul energy. Cultivating martial arts also consumed his soul energy.
Now that the Omniscient Mirror could observe a radius of twenty miles, the spiritual energy absorbed by the Life and Death Scripture had become much purer. It was several times purer than before, and its efficiency had increased greatly.
These benefits made him want to explore the Heavenly Demon Statue again.
