Chapter 1123: Seizing the Sect
Translator:EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor:EndlessFantasy Translation
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! Whats the mystery of the Heavenly Demon Statue?
Wouldnt you like to know? A faint smile appeared on Fu Qingyas face.
Chu Li replied calmly, Ill never let you live. Youve killed Snow Lunar Pavilions Shu Qingdie, so you have to die!
It seems like youve 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, Youre the sect leader, yet you dont want me to become an Enlightened Master. As the sect leader, youre being too selfish!
Humph, if you become an Enlightened Master, youd 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 were 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, Ill let you have a quick and painless death. If you dont, Ill 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 shouldve killed you a long time ago!
Fu Qingya chuckled. What a pity. You may have strong martial arts skills, but you couldnt even save the girl you like! You want to learn to the Inheritance Technique and take on my identity, dont you?
Sect Leader is smart! Chu Li muttered.
Indeed, Heavenly Demonic Sect has many secrets, but Ill never tell you any of them, Fu Qingya said while shaking his head. In fact, you wont be able to stop me from killing myself.
Chu Li laughed coldly and asked, How can you kill yourself when you dont 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 wont 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 statues legacy, right?
There was a slight change in Fu Qingyas expression as a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
Chu Li said nonchalantly, This isnt exactly a huge mystery or a great secret. Im actually most interested to know what treasures youve managed to gather throughout the past few years, where youve hidden them, and whether or not there are any hidden mechanisms Ill need to unlock to get my hands on them.
He had already found out what he wanted to know by reading Fu Qingyas 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 Statues 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 Statues force to ward off enemies, and cultivate using the statue.
It turned out that the Heavenly Demon Statues 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 whats 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, Its a heart technique You probably cant 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 wont be able to learn this secret skill if you refuse to tell me about it? The Heavenly Demons 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 Qingyas mind.
Fu Qingyas expression became increasingly stiff as he began to sense that something was wrong.
Chu Li laughed coldly and said, As the sect leader, you dont 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. Id like to see how youre going to explain yourself to them when youre 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 Qingyas 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. Ill 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 Qingyas 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 Qingyas 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 Lis 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, Ive 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 shouldnt 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 Leaders ring. Heavenly Demonic Sect disciples could easily change their appearance, but the Sect Leaders ring could never be faked, so they would recognize it at a glance. Every disciple could faintly sense the presence of the Sect Leaders ring, so the Four Grand Elders could easily tell whether this ring was genuine or a forgery.
Sect Leader has really passed his position to you! The four of them were shocked.
Chu Li nodded forcefully and said, Thats why Im the sect leader now. Honorable Masters, you should assist me well in the future!
