As the three were chatting, Lu Chaonan’s facial expression suddenly changed. He frowned and said, “This isn’t good, we need to chase that kid with haste!”

“What happened?”

“That brat’s on the run! if we don’t go after him now, he might actually escape!”

“Then, let’s hurry!”

As the three made haste, they were a whole lot faster than they were before this.

A moment later, Lu Chaonan shook his head. “The kid’s using a secret skill!”

“Then let’s also use our secret skill!”

“No can do.” Lu Chaonan frowned once more. “He devoured Junior Master Qi’s Heavenly Demonic Orb, so he’s at his peak performance right now. Even if we use our secret skill now, we would not be able to last as long as him. We can’t out-stall him!”

“What should we do then?” The other two asked helplessly.

This situation left them extremely troubled. They were cursing at this brat Zhe Ying under their breath, calling him insane for pulling this stunt.

However, at this point, he was like a possessed soul, he was desperate enough to do anything. If he sensed that someone was chasing after him, he would definitely know that his pursuers were from the Heavenly Demonic Sect. If he were to be dragged back there, he would no doubt be in a lot of trouble, so naturally, he was running with all his might.

“How ’bout this?” Lu Chaonan frustratedly spat. “I’ll go after him, while you guys follow behind me. I’ll leave a trail for you guys, if both he and I exhaust our energy, you guys can catch up and nab him.”

“That’s way too risky,” The two replied in exasperation.

Qi Feng was definitely at a higher level than Lu Chaonan, but even then, Zhe Ying managed to take out Qi Feng so quickly. Even if it was an ambush, it was a huge win against Qi Feng. With that achievement under his belt, defeating Lu Chaonan would probably be a piece of cake.

Lu Chaonan said, “He only won because he ambushed Junior Brother Qi. I’ll be careful, I won’t fall that easily.”

“... Sigh...” The two shook their heads.

Lu Chaonan did not bother trying to convince them further, he merely stated in a low voice, “We’re running out of time. You guys can catch up to me later, I’ll go on ahead!”

He could already feel that Chu Li’s speed was getting faster and faster, almost getting out of the Demon Hunting Technique’s range. If he continued to delay any more, Chu Li’s trail would completely disappear. In a world as big as this, it would be nearly impossible to find this b*stard!

With that in mind, the Heavenly Demonic Orb dropped down to his chest. His entire body swelled up instantly in size as a near-infinite wave of strength surged out of his body. The aura of the Heavenly Demonic Power started to course through his veins.

His speed suddenly increased exponentially, as he sped past the two’s vision like a trail of shadows. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

The two looked at each other in the eye, both of them slightly worried. Hence, they ignored Lu Chaonan’s orders and also activated their secret skills, following closely behind Lu Chaonan.

Lu Chaonan was slightly better than the two. At this moment, with his secret skill active, he immediately distanced himself from the other two. Just a few moments later, they could no longer see his figure up ahead. Luckily, Lu Chaonan had left footprints as he ran, inherently as a means of guidance for his partners.

Although they had all activated their secret skills in pursuit of Chu Li, they kept feeling that they were still trailing behind, almost as if they could not keep up.

After about two hours, they still did not see Lu Chaonan’s silhouette. Despite that, the secret skill’s effects were also slowly starting to wear off. After all, the effects of the secret skill only lasted for two hours.

Once the secret skill wore off, they instantly felt extremely weak. Just barely maintaining the Light-body technique, they were now at a snail’s pace as compared to their prior speed.

Lu Chaonan also felt the same way. His speed had decreased greatly as the secret skill wore off. His entire body felt weak. However, Zhe Ying was still two miles ahead, though his speed seemed to have also dropped slightly. This caused him to let out a sigh of relief. He felt as if he had just steeled onwards, he might still have a chance to catch Zhe Ying.

As long as he can encounter Zhe Ying, all he needed to do was to splash some Soul-tracking Perfume Zhe Ying’s body. Then, he would not need to worry about losing him anymore, all he had to do to find him was to ask the disciples in Plain Maiden Palace for their help.

As he continued to use his Light-body Technique, he felt his body growing weaker and weaker. At this rate, even if he caught up to Zhe Ying, he would not be able to lay a hand on him.

However, even if he put his Heavenly Demonic Orb on the line, he still had to catch this brat and at least splash some Soul-tracking Perfume on him. If Zhe Ying managed to escape, then the people over at the Heavenly Demonic Sect would never let him live this down. He would never be able to raise his head up high in the sect ever again!

Suddenly, he was motivated once more as he let out a smirk. His originally despair-filled gaze started to burn passionately. Digging out the last slither of his strength, he once again started to accelerate.

He noticed that the figure up ahead had already come to a complete stop. Obviously, Zhe Ying was already at his limits, he stopped and had no more strength to continue on.

Following the guidance of his Demon Hunting Technique, Lu Chaonan quickly arrived at a lush forest. Finally, he saw Chu Li resting underneath the shade of a pine tree.

At this point, Chu Li no longer had the face of Zhe Ying, but this only served to convince Lu Chaonan that he was Zhe Ying even more. He could clearly see the aura of the Heavenly Demonic Technique. As he slowly approached Chu Li, he physically looked down at his target.

Chu Li was leaning back on a pine tree with a large trunk. As he tilted his head to look at Lu Chaonan, he did not utter a single word.

Seeing that Chu Li’s Heavenly Demonic Energy was weak, it was as if a huge weight was lifted off his shoulders. He coldly spat. “Zhe Ying, you brat, have you gone insane?”

Chu Li calmly replied, “I’m not insane!”

“Do you know what the punishment is for what you’ve done?” Lu Chaonan yelled out in a coarse voice. “Your cultivation will be crippled and you will be jailed for ten years!”

Chu Li answered, “I know.”

“Do you want to continue making bad decisions?” Lu Chaonan spat. “The four Master’s Juniors were had so much faith in you. They didn’t want you to continue digging your own grave, but how could you stubbornly devour Junior Brother Qi’s Heavenly Demonic Orb! ...Follow me back to the sect and confess your crimes to the four Master’s Juniors!”

Chu Li responded coldly, “You want me to rot away in jail for ten years, you might as well kill me then!”

“You’re unsavable!” Lu Chaonan chuckled coldly. “Now, you’ve devoured Junior Brother Qi’s Heavenly Demonic Orb, your punishment is even more severe! If you dare to do anything else, then it will seal your fate! The next time we come find you, it won’t be to catch you, IT WILL BE TO KILL YOU!”

“Master’s Junior Lu, I won’t ever follow you back!” Chu Li shouted coldly, “You’ll never take me alive!”

He was intentionally saying these lines. Obviously, it was to prove his identity as Zhe Ying, he could not allow them to suspect his actual identity. Otherwise, he would not have bothered with this nonsense.

Lu Chaonan gritted his teeth before spitting out in a cold manner, “Alright, it looks like there’s nothing left to be said!”

He gathered inner energy around his body, concentrating it into a palm strike aimed at Chu Li.

Chu Li did a frontflip to dodge the palm energy before striking Lu Chaonan with a finger force attack.

Lu Chaonan suddenly stopped in his tracks, his inner energy was cut off.

As Chu Li flipped forward, he sealed off Lu Chaonan’s acupuncture point. Then, he let out a huge sigh of relief before acting like he was at his limits.

“Zhe Ying, you’ve really gone insane!” Lu Chaonan angrily shouted.

Chu Li proceeded to seal off Lu Chaonan’s acupuncture point for speech. Then, reaching out and pushing his hands on Lu Chaonan’s chest, he started to unleash the Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique.

At this point, his Heavenly Demonic Orb-devouring speed was extremely quick. Just a brief moment later, Lu Chaonan’s Heavenly Demonic Orb only had one level left. His face turned pale as he started to sweat profusely. The effects of his cultivation deterioration and the usage of his secret skill both kicked in at once, he looked to be in horrible shape, almost as if he was a sickly patient suffering from a fatal disease.

Chu Li satisfyingly nodded. He chuckled as his face flushed red. “So close!”

Lu Chaonan gave him a death stare, albeit looking quite pitiful.

Chu Li uttered, “Master’s Junior Lu, you don’t have to look at me like that, there are still more people coming, right?”

Lu Chaonan’s facial expression instantly sank.

Chu Li smirked as he nodded. “That’s right, if I devour their Heavenly Demonic Orb as well, I’ll be able to reach Level Eight! Then, no one would be able to catch me in this entire world! Even the four Honorable Masters won’t stand a chance!”

Lu Chaonan glared at Chu Li with extreme disgust.

Chu Li proudly laughed. “Even if I meet a Level Eight Master, I’ll still be able to escape!”

His current actions were completely mimicking Zhe Ying’s personality. Since he would have been so proud of this, of course, he had to act cocky and complacent in this situation.

Chu Li crossed his legs as he sat down under the shade of the tree. It looked like he was channeling his energy towards training his cultivation levels.

A few moments later, he suddenly opened his eyes wide as he pulled out the Heavenly Demonic Stone from Lu Chaonan’s grasps. Grinning from ear to ear, he said, “Without this, Master’s Junior Lu, you’ll have no way of catching up to me!”

Lu Chaonan just glared idly at the Heavenly Demonic Stone.
