White-Robed Chief

A moment later, the figures of the plump Elder and the square-faced Elder groggily moved over. They knew something was fishy seeing Lu Chaonan leaning on the trunk of a tree with Chu Li was seated quietly right next to him.

With one look at Zhe Ying’s face, they understood what had just happened. He looked as if he was brimming with energy, not at all like someone who was weakened after using their secret skill. On the other hand, Lu Chaonan’s body looked stiff. The weakness of his energy accentuated even more in contrast to Chu Li’s.

Chu Li smiled as they approached him, shaking his head. “O’ two Master’s Juniors, can you just save all of us some time?”

“Zhe Ying, are you really going to continue down this path of sinning?” The plump man bitterly smiled, seemingly helpless. “Please think about it, if you devour all of us, how much more severe would your sin become? What’s the use of having so much cultivation power when the Sect will definitely catch you and cripple your cultivation? You’ll be sent to rot in jail!”

The square-faced man also added, “For the rest of your life!”

Chu Li chuckled. “Master’s Juniors, you two are overthinking this. Once I devour your Heavenly Demonic Orbs, I’ll reach Level Eight. At that point, how many people in this world would have the ability to catch me? The Four Great Elders can’t leave the sect, who’s there left to catch me?”

“There are still a few Master’s Juniors out there,” The square-faced male said.

Chu Li shook his head once more. “They won’t make a move for such a trivial matter, but even if they did, I can still escape! …I’ll just leave the Fu state. In a world as big as this, how do you even think you can catch me? Hahaha!”

He arrogantly laughed out loud as he stood up and walked over to the two.

The two helplessly forced a smile. They no longer had the strength to even lift a finger. Furthermore, when they saw Chu Li’s energetic expression, they knew that even if they could do something, it was hopeless.

Chu Li lightly tapped them twice with his fingers. Instantly, their bodies turned stiff, they both had their acupuncture points sealed.

He quickly unleashed his Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique, engulfing their Heavenly Demonic Orb until it was only Level One.

Based on his calculation, he should have been able to reach Level Eight in a single attempt, but he was still stuck at Level Seven. The Heavenly Demonic Orb gave off the feeling that it was filled to the brim as it slowly went dormant. No matter what Chu Li tried, it had stopped completely.

This did not happen the last time he went from Level Six to Level Seven. With the help of the Four Great Elders, he had managed to reach Level Seven without a problem. However, it did not go as smoothly this time and left him helpless and annoyed.

Nevertheless, despite that, this could have been the precursor to achieving Level Eight. Once it reawakens, it will attain Level Eight. At that point, he would become a person who could utilize the full potential of the Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique and harm even the Enlightened Masters!

Though, if he can just reach Level Nine…

Suddenly, he felt an urge to act recklessly, but he quickly restrained these urges. In order to reach Level Nine, he had to go up against the Level Eight masters.

Based on his calculations, the Level Eight Heavenly Demonic Power had more than an estimated two hundred years’ worth of skills. Adding that to the Heavenly Demonic Sect’s Ancient Mystical Arts, he had no reason to fear any opponent.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly frowned.

The area in a twenty-mile radius around him all fell under his sight. Two elders with white eyebrows and beards had suddenly entered his line of sight. They were like two shadows that brushed past the fields silently, zooming through the trees. These lush woods seemed to pose no obstruction to their bodies. In the blink of an eye, they appeared before him.

They had covered the whole twenty miles within the blink of an eye.

He shuddered a bit before just turning around and walking away.

“Hmph!” With two soft utters, the two elders mysteriously appeared in front of him, blocking his path.

Chu Li’s heart sank as he looked at the two elders.

They looked unhealthily thin, almost as if a strong breeze would knock them away. Their eyes looked pale and hollow, almost like they were clouded. Their entire appearance looked exactly like two generic old men.

With an appearance like that, no one would think that they were a master at the epitome of the world, much less a Master who managed to reach Level Eight Heavenly Demonic Power.

These two thin elders looked similar, almost like they were similar.

From Lu Chaonan’s memories, Chu Li realized the two of them were not biological brothers. They intentionally did this in order to misdirect others.

Their clouded eyes surveyed Chu Li, as if doubting that Chu Li would do this kind of thing.

In their eyes, Zhe Ying was still the small kid from years before, a good-natured little brat. They would have never expected that this little brat would cause such a huge commotion, using the Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique against his own comrades and becoming a criminal of the Sect.

“Young Ying, did you really train your Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique just to use it against your comrades’ Heavenly Demonic Orb?” The thin elder on the left asked slowly. His voice sounded dry and coarse, it was not pleasant to the ear.

Chu Li just humphed, not saying a word.

Lu Chaonan yelled, “Master’s Senior Yu, all three of our Heavenly Demonic Orbs have been devoured by him! We’ve said all we had to say, this guy has been possessed by his greed, he wants to continue straying down this path. There’s no way to reason with him anymore! Master’s Junior Yu and Master’s Junior Jiang, please take him back!”

Chu Li coldly spat. “I’m about to reach Level Eight!”

“Sigh…” The two Elders took a good look at him before shaking their heads and sighing.

Yu Xuanshi said, “Young Ying, you’re just digging your own grave!”

Chu Li replied, “Elder Yu, I want to be the best in the world, I want to become the Great Heavenly Demon!”

“Why you…” Yu Xuanshi sighed. “This path you’re taking to become the best in the world, you would be stepping on the corpses of your friends and comrades! How would you even face the Elders and your predecessors?”

“I don’t care, I must become the best in the world!” Chu Li exclaimed.

“Looks like you’re really possessed by greed, you need to calm down.” The other Elder Jiang Ziwen said, “Brother, let me settle this!”

“Alright, be careful,” Yu Xuanshi said.

From their observation, Chu Li had just finished using his secret skill, so his body had weakened. Furthermore, his Heavenly Demonic Orb had entered a dormant state, he was definitely not a match for them.

Chu Li frowned as he glared at the two.

“Young Ying, follow us back.” Jiang Ziwen said, “If you make a move on us, you won’t win. Why don’t you just stop now and save us the trouble of having to brutally teach you a lesson!”

“I’d rather die than go back there!” Chu Li shouted.

“Damn brat, then you’ll have to die here!” Jiang Ziwen exclaimed.

As soon as he finished his sentence, he mysteriously teleported right behind Chu Li, throwing a hook right at him.

Chu Li immediately turned around and ran at an amazing speed.

“You still want to run?!” Jiang Ziwen chuckled as he shook his head.

Yu Xuanshi also started shaking his head and grinning.

They were most proud of their Light-body Technique; The Great Freedom Technique was touted as the best technique in the world. Furthermore, with the support of their Level Eight Heavenly Demonic Power, their Great Freedom Technique was as fast as lightning, so fast that not even their silhouettes could be seen.

As the two followed behind Chu Li, they saw that Chu Li was getting faster and faster. Of course, this left them shocked.

“Looks like the Heavenly Demonic Soul Devouring Technique has its own mysteries!” Both of them said in awe as they continued running, following closely behind Chu Li.

Chu Li secretly felt regret.

If the Heavenly Demonic Orb had not failed at this key moment and did not go dormant, he would once again unleash the Heavenly Demonic Soul Devouring Technique to devour these two Elder’s Heavenly Demonic Orbs. It might have even been enough for him to reach Level Nine instantly. Then, he would truly become a true master that would have the power to shape the world.

However, now that his Heavenly Demonic Orb was dormant, there was no way for him to use the Heavenly Demonic Soul Devouring Technique. It was such a waste of a good opportunity.

Yet, even if the Heavenly Demonic Orb did not turn dormant, he would still not be able to use the Heavenly Demonic Soul Devouring Technique.

These two Heavenly Demonic Sect masters had more nearly two hundred years’ worth of power, they were certainly tough opponents. In a one-on-two situation, he definitely could not manage. The best option was still to run.

His speed was miraculously fast due to the speed gain from the Heavenly Demonic Technique, the added effect of the Wind Speed Pill, and the Imminent Skyline that he originally had. This made his speed faster than the two Elders. The distance between the three was slowly getting larger.

Despite Yu Xuanshi and Jiang Wenzi speeding through the plains, they were utterly shocked.

They would have never expected that Chu Li would be able to reach such speeds, especially after unleashing his secret skill. With his body weakened to this extent, he was still able to reach such miraculous speeds. This newfound curiosity of theirs made them want to capture him and bring him back to the sect even more.

The two yelled out in unison and their speed suddenly increased exponentially. Soon, right as they were behind Chu Li, they pounced at him at the same time.

Chu Li suddenly took a sharp turn and started to run in a different direction, continuing his escape.

With a look of disbelief in their eyes, the two Elders continued their chase. They were not in a rush anyways. They knew Chu Li had used his secret skill, they were eager to see how much more this kid could run.
