Chapter 1070: Coming Out Of Isolated Cultivation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Elder Bai and the other elders fell silent and pondered.

They were worried that once the Sect Leader came out of isolated cultivation to hunt Zhe Ying down, he would not show him mercy. It was very likely that Zhe Ying would not even make it back to the sect as the Sect Leader would simply kill him!

On the other hand, if the elders were to capture Zhe Ying, they would capture him alive and subsequently weaken his martial arts skills before locking him up. In other words, Zhe Ying would still live. Even if he lost his martial arts skills by being heavily punished, he could still live as an ordinary man.

In fact, from the very beginning, the elders never hoped that Zhe Ying would become a top-notch master in the world. They only wanted him to live a peaceful, healthy life and stay in the ravine.

Jiang Ziwen knew what the elders were thinking and scoffed. “Senior Brother Bai, this is a matter of the sect’s survival or downfall. You must not consider your personal feelings for Zhe Ying. If you guys were to go after him, he’ll surely take advantage of your kindness and you might not be able to capture him. If that happens, what’s going to happen when he leaks the secret?”

“He won’t.” Elder Du shook his head and reassured Jiang Ziwen. “Zhe Ying knows the severity of this matter.”

“Hmph! If he knows it, why did he do what he did?” Jiang Ziwen sneered. “He is pampered by all of you!”

Upon hearing Jiang Ziwen, the four grand elders looked unhappy but were lost for words.

If it was not because the elders spoiled Zhe Ying from the start and allowed him to consume Du Feng’s Heavenly Demonic Orb, things would not have turned out like this. The elders now faced the outcome of what they did!

Yun Xuanshi sighed. “Junior Brother Jiang is right. We shouldn’t consider our personal feelings for Zhe Ying. Right now, the sect’s safety is our priority!”

“…Alright, we can only ask the Sect Leader to come out of his isolated cultivation.” Elder Li sighed as well. “We don’t know if he is undergoing a crucial moment now and if he can come out of his cultivation.”

The four elders then left the main hall and headed into the ravine.

…

The Heavenly Demonic Orb was still dormant. At that moment, Chu Li activated his inner energy to travel faster.

He felt a sense of urgency deep within him, and the Heavenly Demonic Sect’s leader was constantly on his mind. Chu Li was rather worried that he might not be able to escape if the Sect Leader were to hunt him down. More importantly, he was worried that the Sect Leader would be able to see past his disguise.

Chu Li wanted to arrive at Fu Dynasty’s capital, Jian An City, as soon as possible.

He had been traveling along the main road since he was not familiar with the roads.

The sun started to set by the time Chu Li arrived at a bustling city.

The city was similar to Fairy’s Capital where the roads were crowded with people and vehicles.

Chu Li could not help but exclaim at what he saw. The architectural features of the buildings in this city were grand and magnificent compared to those in the Ji Dynasty. While the roads were double the width than the ones in Fairy’s Capital and the houses were twice the size, they were not as exquisite.

After Chu Li had settled down in a restaurant by himself, he eavesdropped on the conversations that took place around him.

He took a random seat on the third floor as all the window seats were occupied.

The loudest people there were four middle-aged men who sat at one of the window seats. All of them carried either long blades or long swords and behaved in a domineering manner.

They were all Innate Masters and were regarded as second class masters in the martial arts world so they could easily dominate a small place like this.

“The past few days the Church of the Divine Blood and the Ultimate Temple fought fiercely. It seems like the Ultimate Temple isn’t as weak as we thought it was. It’s very powerful!”

“After all, it’s one of the eight major sects. As weak as it is, the ordinary sects still wouldn’t match up to it”

“A lean camel is bigger than a horse.”

“I heard that the disciples of the Plain Maiden Palace intervened too?”

“The disciples of the Plain Maiden Palace wanted to mediate between the Church of the Divine Blood and the Ultimate Temple but I heard that the people from the Church of the Divine Blood didn’t want to agree to it. They want to continue fighting and so the disciples from the Plain Maiden Palace are now beginning to help the Ultimate Temple. The people from the Church of the Divine Blood are going to suffer as they’ve become more savage. It’s time someone taught them a lesson!”

Chu Li raised his eyebrows as he said to himself, ‘Plain Maiden Palace.’

Chu Li saw a disciple from the Plain Maiden Palace through Zhe Ying’s mind. The disciple was beautiful and charming but was exceptionally cruel when she fought. She beat Zhe Ying up terribly which humiliated him and almost cost him his life.

Although Chu Li felt that it was a good fight, he was quite fearful of the dainty lady’s code of conduct. It would be very troublesome to encounter a lady like her and so it would be best for him to avoid disciples from the Plain Maiden Palace.

“Other than the Church of the Divine Blood, it looked like the Great One Palace was involved too which just makes the entire thing very messy.”

“The Great One Palace is enemies with the Church of the Divine Blood, the Ultimate Temple, and the Plain Maiden Palace.”

“Ahh, that’s quite a scene, but also quite terrifying.”

“When the Gods fight, the little devils suffer!”

Then the four men fell silent.

Even though the men were Innate Masters, they were as tiny as ants in comparison to the eight major sects. The sects could not be bothered about them but if both parties fought, the eight major sects would likely be killed, which was truly frustrating.

In the martial arts world, the strong were honored, and this was the reality.

Chu Li sighed after pondering on the Innate Masters’ thoughts. ‘Everyone wants to be a top-notch master in the world so that he or she can live gloriously, and yet not everyone can become masters. More often than not, they can be ambitious but have luck as thin as paper.’

He was quite curious about the disciples of the Great One Palace and wondered what kind of martial arts skills they had.

In his opinion, the Ultimate Sword Technique was already amazing, and the people from the Church of the Divine Blood were quite ferocious. Hence, the Great One Palace must have been something too. Chu Li was certain that they had mystical arts and ancient studies, and he was interested to see them. Unfortunately, the timing was not right as he needed to get to Jian An City as soon as possible.

“Young Master, grandmasters are fighting in Yi Yun Restaurant!” A servant who hurried upstairs reported softly to his master, who was an ordinary-looking young man in the Innate Mastery’s Boundary.

“Let’s go take a look!” The young man quickly stood up.

For an Innate Master, it was risky yet beneficial to watch fights between grandmasters. It depended on the grandmasters who were fighting, and one’s longing for martial arts.

Chu Li raised his eyebrows. Through the Omniscient Mirror, he saw the fight going on in Yi Yun Restaurant that was a hundred meters away. Four grandmasters were seen causing a scene at the restaurant.

The grandmasters consisted of two ladies and two elders. At one glance, Chu Li identified the two elders as masters from the Church of the Divine Blood. Although they were not as powerful as those who were hunting for him, they were still grandmasters.

As for the two ladies, they appeared to be young and elegant but were so slim that they looked as if they could easily be blown away by the wind.

While their attacks seemed to be unthreatening, the two elders were extremely cautious. Whenever the ladies attacked, the elders tried their best to avoid getting hit.

This was because the ladies’ fist forces were as solid as the tip of swords. Thus, the two elders from the Church of the Divine Blood dared not take on their attacks.

While drinking wine, Chu Li enjoyed his time watching the fight through the Omniscient Mirror.

Meanwhile, at the Heavenly Demonic Sect, Elder Bai and the other elders had arrived at a cliff. They stood still with solemn looks on their faces.

They knew very well that once they called out to the Sect Leader, Zhe Ying could die.

A brief moment later, Elder Bai sighed and then placed his palm on the wall. After some moments of hesitation, the three other elders did the same.

With four palms placed on the cliff wall, a long chime could be heard coming from the cave.

“Boom!” All of a sudden, an opening appeared on the cliff and from it, a middle-aged man in a green robe appeared and walked out slowly. He had an elegant demeanor and a sense of composure. As he looked at the four elders, his eyes were filled with nothing but warmth.

“Greetings, Sect Leader!” The four elders saluted him with their fists.

The Sect Leader asked, “Why did you interrupt me when I’m cultivating in isolation? Bai Ming, answer me!”

At this, Elder Bai reported everything to him.

The Sect Leader then glanced at all the elders and humphed. “It’s such a trivial matter. Do you need me to do the work?”
