White-Robed Chief

Chapter 1072: Ill Wind

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

By the time he woke up, he was at Heavenly Demonic Sect.

He was laid on a white jade floor. However, when he sat up to look around him, he frowned.

It was the main hall of Heavenly Demonic Sect.

The Heavenly Demon Statue was seen towering north of the main hall, which seemed alive as it looked down at him with gleaming eyes. Knowing how powerful the Heavenly Demon Statue was, it made Chu Li so uneasy that he wanted to hide away from it.

Below the Heavenly Demon Statue stood a middle-aged man in a green robe with his hands behind his back. Similarly, he wanted to hide from it too.

He sighed to himself as he had underestimated the resolution of the Four Grand Elders from Heavenly Demonic Sect. He thought that they would be hesitant due to their personal feelings for Zhe Ying and that they would even look for him themselves. If he had returned to the sect himself and admitted his wrongdoings, his punishment would have been way lighter.

To his surprise, they were so decisive that they simply invited the sect leader to do the work instead.

On top of that, it was even more unexpected that the sect leader was so powerful after mastering the Heavenly Demonic Power.

Now, it seemed like the sect leader of Heavenly Demon Sect was close to being an Enlightened Master as he could seal space and moved around as he wished. He had really achieved Great Freedom where he could move freely between three boundaries.

Upon witnessing the greatness achieved, Chu Li began to value the Heavenly Demonic Power more than ever.

As long as his Heavenly Demonic Orb woke up, he could arrive at the ninth level. After achieving the ninth level, he would devour a few more Heavenly Demonic Orbs and he could almost attain perfect mastery. With such powers, he would be able to protect himself even if he could not surpass an Enlightened Master.

He was just a reach away from perfecting the Heavenly Demonic Power and it was extremely tempting.

Unfortunately, at this crucial moment, he was faced with more obstacles as things would not always turn out the way he wanted it to be, such that he did not expect an encounter with Fu Qingya. Now that the sect leader of Heavenly Demonic Sect was in his way, it would be tough for him to achieve his goal. He could no longer seize the Heavenly Demonic Sect as he wished, and it would be difficult to perfect the Heavenly Demonic Power from now on.

Fu Qingya stood in front of the Heavenly Demonic Statue as he looked up at it. Even with his back against Chu Li, he was blanketed by an elegant aura.

Chu Li coughed softly.

Upon hearing him, Fu Qingya turned around. His eyes were cold and calm.

Chu Li greeted him with a fist salute. “Sect Leader.”

“You’re Zhe Hua’s son.” Fu Qingya looked at him. “You’ve acquired the Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique without any effort. It was very addictive, wasn’t it?”

Chu Li nodded. “Sect Leader, you’ve restrained me with the Heavenly Demonic Power too?”

“Yes,” Fu Qingya replied. “Do you have anything else to say?”

Chu Li responded, “Sect Leader, what are you going to do with me?”

“I will cripple you of your martial art, and send you to Ill Wind Valley for 30 years.” Fu Qingyan asked, “What do you think?”

Chu Li agreed, “That’s fair.”

He was secretly trying to sense if he could escape.

As for retaliating Fu Qingyan, he did not have plans for now. After all, his martial art skill was currently inferior to his, so he could only seek revenge when he became stronger. Now, he would only be asking for trouble.

Sadly, Fu Qingyan was surrounded by a strange aura that seemed to be coming from his Heavenly Demonic Orb. He had sealed the space around him and Chu Li was unable to activate God’s Limb. So, he could only wait.

Fu Qingyan uttered, “Coming in.”

With that, the door to the main hall opened as Elder Bai and three other elders walked inside.

As they glared at Chu Li hatefully, they looked extremely frustrated too.

Chu Li smiled apologetically. “Honorable Masters, I’m sorry for worrying you.”

“Shut up!” Elder Li roared.

Chu Li immediately kept quiet.

Elder Bai sighed before he shook his head.

Elder Song remained silent.

On the other hand, Elder Du slapped him across the face. Then, he furiously said, “I’m going to beat you until you die, b*stard!”

Since Chu Li could not dodge the hit, he suffered the attack. Nonetheless, he still had a smile on his face. “Honorable Master Du, why are you so angry? If you were in my place, you would’ve done the same!”

“I wouldn’t seek trouble!” Elder Du responded angrily, “Based on your qualities, you could’ve easily trained your way up to the ninth level. Why did you take the shortcut and put yourself at a razor’s edge?!”

Chu Li answered, “If I’m only going to become a top-notch master when I’m 70 or 80 years old, what’s the fun in that? The earlier I succeed, the more enjoyable it is, and life becomes more interesting!”

“Rascal! If it wasn’t for us who pleaded, Sect Leader would’ve killed you already!” Elder Du scoffed.

Fu Qingya expressed, “It wasn’t because you guys pleaded, it was because of Zhe Hua’s contribution, but this is the only exception. Next time, I won’t be merciful anymore. Zhe Ying, do you have anything else to say?”

Chu Li replied, “I’d like to be alone for a while. Can you negate my martial arts later?”

As long as he had the opportunity to be away from Fu Qingya, he could escape Heavenly Demonic Sect.

Fu Qingya shook his head. “An undue delay will only cause more trouble, it’s best that I do it now!”

Right after he said that, he flicked his fingers.

“Tss!” A finger force hit Chu Li’s precordium.

At that moment, his Heavenly Demonic Orb that was initially asleep awoke as if it had sensed danger. It then engulfed the finger force and let out a “bam”.

It was as if there was a sudden clap of thunder.

Consequently, Chu Li felt so dizzy and his body trembled vigorously. He then staggered back a few steps before he finally fell to the ground.

He realized that his Heavenly Demonic Orb had been shattered by the finger force. Instead, it had transformed into strange energy that dispersed and vanished in the end, absorbed by the Heavenly Demonic Statue.

At once, Chu Li’s face changed.

“Sect Leader!” Elder Du quickly called out to him.

Fu Qingya glared at him.

Elder Du said with a bitter smile, “Be merciful, how about you leave him with one level of inner energy? Ill Wind Valley is truly...”

Fu Qingya scoffed. “You’re crossing the line!”

Elder Du quickly shut up as he looked at Chu Li helplessly.

Right now, Chu Li’s face was pale and he was clearly dejected.

The Heavenly Demonic Power that he had acquired so painstakingly had now completely turned into water by the Sect Leader’s finger force. He was so disappointed that he was almost going to cover his face and rush out.

Despite that, he forced a smile at Elder Du and shook his head. “It’s alright, I’ll just cultivate again!”

Fu Qingyan remarked, “It’s good that you’re so determined. Although Ill Wind Valley is a torturous place, it’ll excite your potential, and you’ll cultivate faster than before. Once you’re back at the eighth level, Ill Wind Valley will no longer be tormenting.”

“Understood,” Chu Li replied calmly.

While Fu Qingya said that, he flicked his finger again.

“Tss!” This time, his finger force hit Chu Li’s Dantian.

“Tss...!” As if a rubber ball was punctured, Chu Li’s inner energy completely disappeared.

Fu Qingya turned to look at the Four Grand Elders. He said, “If there’s anything you want to say, say it now before I send him to Ill Wind Valley.”

The Four Grand Elders looked at Chu Li but they could only sigh as they had nothing left to say.

“Very well, I’ll send him there now!” Fu Qingya announced.

Looking at him, Chu Li suggested, “Sect Leader, you don’t have to trouble yourself. Elder Du can send me there.”

“I’m worried.” Fu Qingya humphed. “I can’t be certain that they won’t make any mistakes!”

Elder Du quickly reassured, “Sect Leader, you’re overthinking. We’re aware of the weight of this matter!”

“I think you’ve all become silly!” Fu Qingyan added, “I’ll settle accounts with you guys later!”

Subsequently, he lifted Chu Li’s collar.

Chu Li was extremely frustrated that he did not get the chance to escape. Now, he would have to wait until he arrived at Ill Wind Valley.

As he was certain that Fu Qingya would not guard outside Ill Wind Valley, he could escape then.

Even after being crippled of his martial art, he could still activate God’s Limbs.

Feeling confident, he smiled at Elder Du and the others before he left. “Honorable Masters, please visit me whenever you can.”

“B*stard!” Elder Du scoffed.

The other elders looked at him pitifully.

Through their minds, Chu Li could see how Ill Wind Valley looked like and immediately, he became afraid.
