Fu Qingya gave him a sidelong glance. “How did you end up becoming Chu Li?”
“I received a fortuitous encounter that allowed me to conceal my Heavenly Demonic Energy,” Chu Li replied, “So I can disguise myself as whoever I want! … What’s the mystery of the Heavenly Demon Statue?”
“Wouldn’t you like to know?” A faint smile appeared on Fu Qingya’s face.
Chu Li replied calmly, “I’ll never let you live. You’ve killed Snow Lunar Pavilion’s Shu Qingdie, so you have to die!”
“It seems like you’ve really fallen in love with her,” Fu Qingya said with a smile. “Zhe Ying, for the rest of your life, you will never advance further in your cultivation.”
Chu Li replied, “You’re the sect leader, yet you don’t want me to become an Enlightened Master. As the sect leader, you’re being too selfish!”
“Humph, if you become an Enlightened Master, you’d never allow me to live anyway. Indeed, Heavenly Demonic Sect should produce an Enlightened Master, but my life is way more important than that,” Fu Qingya said calmly. “Moreover, Heavenly Demonic Sect never had an Enlightened Master for all these years, yet we’re still doing fine!”
“Well said!” Chu Li replied. “Your Inheritance Technique for the Heavenly Demon Statue is the same as what the Four Grand Elders have cultivated, right?”
“You wish to learn the Inheritance Technique?” Fu Qingya chuckled and smirked at him.
Chu Li said, “Just tell me. You can also let me know what other secrets there are about Heavenly Demonic Sect. Then, I’ll let you have a quick and painless death. If you don’t, I’ll make your life a living hell and let you slowly suffer for the rest of your life!”
His gaze was cold and filled with resentment as he seemed to consider Fu Qingya an already dead man.
Fu Qingya smiled. “You must have very deep feelings for that girl!”
Chu Li glared at him with an icy-cold gaze. “I should’ve killed you a long time ago!”
Fu Qingya chuckled. “What a pity. You may have strong martial arts skills, but you couldn’t even save the girl you like! … You want to learn to the Inheritance Technique and take on my identity, don’t you?”
“Sect Leader is smart!” Chu Li muttered.
“Indeed, Heavenly Demonic Sect has many secrets, but I’ll never tell you any of them,” Fu Qingya said while shaking his head. “In fact, you won’t be able to stop me from killing myself.”
Chu Li laughed coldly and asked, “How can you kill yourself when you don’t have any martial arts skills right now?”
“The founder of Heavenly Demonic Sect has already made preparations for facing situations like this. The sect leader can kill himself at any time to avoid being forced to reveal any secrets,” Fu Qingya replied with a faint smile. “Unfortunately, you won’t be able to learn anything.”
Chu Li said, “That may not be the case. Once the Four Grand Elders circulate the Inheritance Technique, I can circulate the Heavenly Demonic Power and touch the Heavenly Demonic Orb behind the Heavenly Demon Statue in order to acquire the statue’s legacy, right?”
There was a slight change in Fu Qingya’s expression as a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
Chu Li said nonchalantly, “This isn’t exactly a huge mystery or a great secret. I’m actually most interested to know what treasures you’ve managed to gather throughout the past few years, where you’ve hidden them, and whether or not there are any hidden mechanisms I’ll need to unlock to get my hands on them.”
He had already found out what he wanted to know by reading Fu Qingya’s mind.
As expected, the sect leader of Heavenly Demonic Sect possessed a few unique abilities. Every sect leader would cultivate a secret skill that allowed them to sense and locate all Heavenly Demonic Sect disciples around the world. This skill was somewhat similar to the All-Seeing Divine Power.
In order to truly become the sect leader of Heavenly Demonic Sect, he would need the Four Grand Elders’ cooperation to circulate the Inheritance Technique so that he could find the Heavenly Demon Statue’s Heavenly Demonic Orb and then receive its legacy. With that, he would be able to control the formation surrounding Heavenly Demonic Sect, use the Heavenly Demon Statue’s force to ward off enemies, and cultivate using the statue.
It turned out that the Heavenly Demon Statue’s Heavenly Demonic Orb did not have a fixed position. Instead, it would constantly flow around within the Heavenly Demon Statue. Therefore, he could only sense its location with the help of a unique secret skill, which was solely possessed by the sect leader.
Chu Li asked, “Right, so what’s the secret skill that only the sect leader of Heavenly Demonic Sect possesses?”
“Hehe…” Fu Qingya shook his head with a smile.
He knew that he would surely die soon, so he refused to reveal this skill to Chu Li since he was eager to see Chu Li die too.
Even if the Four Grand Elders cooperated with Chu Li and helped him sense the position of the Heavenly Demonic Orb within the statue, without this secret skill, Chu Li would still die after touching the Heavenly Demon Statue.
The Four Grand Elders would certainly be willing to assist him since they had a closer relationship to him, and would happily let him become the sect leader instead as they probably found Zhe Ying more trustworthy and obedient. Once Zhe Ying became the sect leader, their positions in the sect would become much more secure.
However, the more willing they were to cooperate with him, the faster Zhe Ying would die! Fu Qingya felt remarkably happy when he thought about how Chu Li would end up dying soon.
Chu Li said, “It’s a heart technique… You probably can’t recall it now, right?”
“Hehe…” Fu Qingya shook his head without saying anything, simply smiling in response.
Chu Li burst out laughing. “Do you really think that I won’t be able to learn this secret skill if you refuse to tell me about it? The Heavenly Demon’s inner energy flows from the Dantian and passes through the Spirit Palace Point before going up to the Central Palace Point. Oh, wait, it should go up to the Central Palace Point first and then pass through the Spirit Palace Point…”
He continued reciting the heart technique in a disjointed manner by peeking into Fu Qingya’s mind.
Fu Qingya’s expression became increasingly stiff as he began to sense that something was wrong.
Chu Li laughed coldly and said, “As the sect leader, you don’t want Heavenly Demonic Sect to grow stronger and, instead, keep worrying about your personal gains. You should be ashamed to face your predecessors and all our previous generations of disciples after your death. I’d like to see how you’re going to explain yourself to them when you’re dead!”
Fu Qingya would certainly ascend to the Heavenly Demonic Realm after his death instead of going through reincarnation. Thus, Chu Li was not speaking nonsense when he talked about him having to face their previous generations of disciples. On the contrary, the mention of these people had a great deterrent force.
Chu Li saw that he had successfully interrupted Fu Qingya’s suspicions with those words, so he continued to talk about the heart technique.
He finished reciting it this time and finally gained a thorough understanding of this magical skill called the Heavenly Demonic Disaster.
It would indeed be a disaster for Heavenly Demonic Sect if anyone else were to acquire this magical skill.
Chu Li sighed and said, “Alright then, Sect Leader. You can die now.”
Fu Qingya laughed coldly. “I’ll be waiting for you to join me up there!”
He did not drag out the situation any longer. The moment he finished speaking, he stopped breathing and died right away.
Chu Li did not feel reassured by this, so he ran a flying blade across Fu Qingya’s neck to cut off his head and then glided away.
Fu Qingya would eventually become a nameless skeleton, just like the skeleton Chu Li had found in this cave. Nonetheless, this could be considered a good final resting place for him since this cave was located at the peak of a tall mountain, which meant that no one would likely stumble upon this place and disturb him.
Chu Li returned to Heavenly Demonic Sect in an instant.
The Four Grand Elders were in the middle of a discussion in the basilica. They had already sent some people to find out news about Chu Li. When they saw him entering the basilica, they sighed in resignation.
“What happened to Sect Leader?” Elder Du asked with a huff.
Chu Li changed his body shape and instantly transformed himself into Fu Qingya’s appearance. Then, he stood with his hands behind his back and smiled faintly as he asked, “What do you think?”
“You…” The Four Grand Elders were taken aback.
They were surprised by Chu Li’s ability to change his appearance so effortlessly and accurately. He looked exactly like the sect leader, and they could hardly spot any difference.
“What about Sect Leader…?” Elder Bai asked.
Chu Li replied, “I’ve sent Sect Leader to the Heavenly Demonic Realm. Sect Leader has passed his position to me!”
“You…?” The four of them frowned at him.
Chu Li laughed and said, “Sect Leader has already transmitted the Heavenly Demonic Disaster to me!”
“Impossible!” The four of them started shaking their heads.
Fu Qingya deeply despised Zhe Ying, so much so that he had used such a cruel method to deal with Zhe Ying. It was impossible that Zhe Ying would let him off lightly, so how could he possibly agree to pass on the position of Sect Leader to Zhe Ying?
Moreover, the only way for Fu Qingya to survive was to keep the Heavenly Demonic Disaster to himself since Zhe Ying would not kill him without acquiring this secret skill first. He would be seeking his death by transferring the Heavenly Demonic Disaster to Zhe Ying.
They found this hard to believe and even felt a little worried.
“Zhe Ying, there shouldn’t be any problem with the Heavenly Demonic Disaster which Sect Leader transferred to you, right?”
“Of course not,” Chu Li replied and shook his head while laughing. “Sect Leader is a smart man. He knew that his time was over and that he should make way for someone else to take over his position, so he tactfully transferred the Heavenly Demonic Disaster and passed his position on to me!”
He raised his left hand while he was speaking.
Chu Li wore a dark gray ring on his left pinky finger. The ring was barely noticeable on his hand and would easily be overlooked by anyone.
Nonetheless, the Four Grand Elders were quick to notice it because this was the Sect Leader’s ring. Heavenly Demonic Sect disciples could easily change their appearance, but the Sect Leader’s ring could never be faked, so they would recognize it at a glance. Every disciple could faintly sense the presence of the Sect Leader’s ring, so the Four Grand Elders could easily tell whether this ring was genuine or a forgery.
COMMENT
“Sect Leader has really passed his position to you!” The four of them were shocked.
Chu Li nodded forcefully and said, “That’s why I’m the sect leader now. Honorable Masters, you should assist me well in the future!”
