Chapter 20

Old Chen left, and Lu Li let out a long breath, suddenly realizing that he had gained two more good deeds, bringing his total to eleven.

This time was very strange. Unlike in Yinzhou, where the good deeds came mysteriously, this time he clearly felt that the good deeds came from Luo Xin and Luo Lan.

They looked at Lu Li with gratitude, deeply thankful for his standing up for them, beating Gao Peng, and fighting for their status as third-rank disciples, as well as his resistance against the outer sect enforcer.

Originally, they had no good feelings towards Lu Li, even looking down on him as a bumpkin. However, after this, they realized they were also bumpkins and needed Lu Li to stand up for them and help them. This significant emotional shift made them feel ashamed and even more grateful, so each of them directly bestowed a good deed upon him!

However, Luo Feng and Luo Ming were not at all grateful. They had benefited from Lu Li, but in their hearts, they thought:

"I can get the status of a third-rank disciple because of the old ancestor, not because of him. Why should I thank him!"

"He's just meddling, pretending to be a hero. The more I look at him, the more I dislike him!"

"What does this guy want? Does he have designs on Luo Xin? I must guard against him!"

Although he did not gain good deeds from them, Lu Li was surprised to find that he seemed to know what they were thinking. This was also a kind of gain!

Lu Li couldn't help but think:

"Luo Feng, this guy, I could tell from the start that he has no backbone. When faced with trouble, he runs away. When he saw Luo Xin being scolded by Lady Su, he immediately distanced himself. Luo Ming likes Luo Xin and is afraid that I might have designs on her, so he isn't grateful, which is normal.

These two guys are ingrates, not worth befriending. They bully the weak and fear the strong, they just need a beating!

It's strange, really strange, I can apparently read their thoughts?

Wait, it seems that my ability to reward good and punish evil has mutated after absorbing the spiritual energy in the Central Heaven Great World. I wonder if it's good or bad?"

As they walked out of the great hall and looked at the rows of buildings around them, Lu Li and the others were dumbfounded. Who knew where the Transmission Hall was?

At this moment, Gao Peng said from the side:

"Senior Brother Lu Li, are you looking for the Transmission Hall? I know where it is, I can take you there!"

Lu Li glanced at him. Gao Peng's face was full of smiles, all insincere. Lu Li immediately knew that he was genuinely trying to rely on him and lead the way, as this kind of smile was common among the countless disciples of the Heaven-Cutting Hall.

Behind him, Luo Feng said, "Lu Li, don't fall for it. Does he have some ulterior motive, trying to trick us to another place..."

Lu Li ignored him, treating him like a dog farting. He said to Gao Peng:

"Junior Brother Gao Peng, please lead the way! Thank you!"

He bowed deeply, extremely polite!

Gao Peng immediately returned the bow and said, "You're too kind, you're too kind. We are all fellow disciples, it's a small matter!"

With that, Gao Peng led the way, and Lu Li followed behind. Before he left, he turned to look at Luo Xin and said:

"Trust me, just follow me!"

Luo Xin hesitated. Luo Ming said, "Don't trust him, we can ask the enforcer!"

Luo Feng also said, "Don't go, we just beat them up, how can they lead us honestly? It's dangerous!"

But Luo Xin bit her lip and followed behind Lu Li. Luo Lan also followed, and Luo Feng and Luo Ming exchanged glances. Seeing no one around, they had no choice but to follow behind.

On the way, Lu Li and Gao Peng started chatting:

"Junior Brother Gao Peng, are you familiar with this place?"

Gao Peng said, "Of course! My parents are itinerant cultivators. Although they didn't have the chance to join the outer sect of the Spirit Butterfly Sect, they often took on small jobs for the outer sect, so they are very familiar with it.

They passed on all that knowledge to me, so I am also very familiar with it!

By the way, Senior Brother Lu Li, what's your background? How did you become third-rank disciples so quickly?"

Before Lu Li could speak, Luo Feng interjected:

"We are the descendants of the Luo family! Our ancestor is the True Man Xiyi, a Golden Core True Man, who controls the Lingqiao lineage!"

Lu Li frowned. This Luo Feng was too talkative. The sixth ancestor of the Luo family was already dead, and from Lady Su's attitude, it was better not to publicize the Luo family's identity!

Sure enough, a junior of Gao Peng, Zou Sihai, couldn't help but say:

"Ah, you are the descendants of that old tyrant!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Xin and the others were furious. To call their ancestor an old tyrant and insult their forefathers, they immediately shouted:

"What did you say!" "Bastard! What did you say!" "Son of a bitch! You dare to insult our ancestors!"

Zou Sihai was a bit scared and tried to defend himself:

"Everyone says it. Your ancestor's lifespan was about to end, and the deputy peak master of Kongyuan Peak was supposed to inherit the Lingqiao lineage.

But he was unwilling to give up power, so he deliberately caused trouble, trying to obtain longevity treasures for himself. As a result, he sent all thirteen Foundation Establishment cultivators and over a hundred Qi Condensation disciples of the Kongyuan Peak Lingqiao lineage, including your Luo family's six Foundation Establishment cultivators and seventeen Qi Condensation disciples, to their deaths!"

On the other side, a young man named Zhang Wenbo said, "Yes, when the news came, the Spirit Butterfly Sect was filled with cries. The sect's strength was greatly reduced, losing a tenth of its best hands!"

"My third uncle was a disciple of Kongyuan Peak and died in the last disaster, severing all our family ties. If not, I would have joined the outer sect long ago. Instead, my father had to give the family heirloom to the steward Zhao to get me in. It's all because of your family's old tyrant, who caused so many deaths!"

Another young man also cursed similarly!

Suddenly, several young men spoke up, leaving Luo Xin and the others speechless. It seemed that it was indeed because of True Man Xiyi's actions to extend his own life that all the disciples of the Kongyuan Peak Lingqiao lineage were killed.

Not to mention, the old ancestor had ignored them. If any of the Luo family cultivators were still alive, they wouldn't be in this situation, so they had no grounds to argue.

Lu Li said, "Enough, enough, don't say anymore. We are new disciples, and this is a major matter for the sect. It's not our place to discuss it!

If you continue, you will be talking about your superiors, do you think the sect rules don't exist?"

These words were stern, and everyone fell silent, no one daring to speak!

On the way, Lu Li occasionally saw other outer sect disciples. The men were handsome, and the women were exceptionally beautiful, each wearing splendid robes, truly a sight to behold.

If it were just a few, it would be fine, but most were like this. Lu Li secretly confirmed that this was likely a benefit of cultivation in the Spirit Butterfly Sect, where men were handsome and women were beautiful, a result of the sect's cultivation methods!

Continuing forward, they finally arrived at a huge hall. The hall was about ten zhang high, with a hip-and-gable roof, giving it a majestic and rugged appearance as well as a delicate and graceful one. The roof slope was gentle, the eaves extended far, and the corners of the eaves were slightly raised, forming beautiful arcs.

The entire building gave a sense of being both heavy and light, as if it were flying. It could be said to be like a bird in flight, with a solemn and majestic appearance.

This hall was protected by prohibitive spells, and one had to raise a token to enter. At the entrance of the stone building were eighteen stone statues, each with a fierce expression, carrying knives and swords. These were magical puppets that would immediately attack anyone who violated the rules.

This was the Transmission Hall of the Spirit Butterfly Sect. Upon arriving at the entrance, Gao Peng did not enter but knelt down and bowed three times to the hall!

He was extremely respectful and solemn, and his junior disciples were also very serious.

Lu Li saw this and followed suit. On someone else's territory, one must follow the rules, so he knelt down and bowed solemnly.

Seeing this, Luo Xin and the others also followed, kneeling and bowing.

After they stood up, Lu Li asked, "What are we bowing to?"

Gao Peng replied, "Senior Brother, we are about to receive the secret techniques of the Spirit Butterfly Sect, which are among the left path techniques! How can we not be excited? So we bow in gratitude here!"

Luo Feng, on the side, couldn't help but say, "So powerful? Isn't it said that there are three thousand left path techniques? Three thousand in total, and this is just one of them, what's there to be happy about!"

In fact, it wasn't just him; Lu Li also had this notion. The Spirit Butterfly Sect was one of the three thousand left path techniques, meaning there were three thousand sects like it. Above them were eight hundred side paths and one hundred and eight main paths, so they always had the idea that the Spirit Butterfly Sect was nothing special!

Upon hearing this, Gao Peng looked at Luo Feng with disdain and said, "Bumpkin is a bumpkin! What do you know!

In the entire Heavenly Spider Five Islands, plus over a thousand affiliated islands, covering a million square miles of sea, with a hundred thousand itinerant cultivators and nearly a hundred sects, there are only four left path techniques and one side path. Being able to enter the Spirit Butterfly Sect and receive the left path technique is a great honor!

My family has been affiliated with the Spirit Butterfly Sect for four generations. It was only when I was discovered to have dual spiritual roots that I could enter the outer sect. With your five-element spiritual roots, if you weren't a descendant of the Luo family, you wouldn't even dream of joining the Spirit Butterfly Sect!"

Zou Sihai also said, "Yes, yes, you really don't know your place!"

"Three thousand left path techniques are in the entire Central Heaven Main World. These great cultivators can say such things, but you, a little brat, dare to act tough!"

"Acting tough, daring to insult the sect, beat him, beat him!"

Several young men immediately started cursing. The passing sect disciples also seemed to hear something and looked over.

Lu Li reached out and slapped Luo Feng twice, saying:

"Kneel down, bow to the hall, and admit your mistake!"

Seeing that Lu Li was hitting him but actually saving him, Luo Feng was too foolish. His words had completely provoked everyone's anger. If the outer sect disciples had heard, the consequences would have been serious!

However, these two slaps from Lu Li were quite satisfying. He had helped him, but Luo Feng didn't thank him, so he got to vent some frustration!

Luo Xin, Luo Lan, and the others were not foolish. These words had provoked everyone's anger. The Luo family disciples were already unpopular, and this matter could be big or small.

They saw that Lu Li was saving him and quickly said, "Hurry, kneel towards the hall, admit your mistake, he's just a child, he doesn't know any better!"

Luo Feng finally knelt down and admitted his mistake, but it was clear he was reluctant.

At this moment, Lu Li received Luo Xin's gratitude and also sensed Luo Feng's thoughts:

"Lu Li, you wait, you bumpkin, daring to hit me, I will definitely take revenge..."

There are people like this. You help them, and they don't thank you; instead, they hate you!

Lu Li kicked him and cursed:

"Let you hate me, let you want revenge, let you not admit your mistake sincerely, let you talk nonsense..."

Seeing Lu Li beating him, Gao Peng and the others also kicked him:

"Still not admitting your mistake sincerely!"

"Deserves a beating, scum!"

After a beating, Luo Feng finally became obedient, crying and shouting:

"I'm wrong, I'm wrong! I will never do it again!" He admitted his mistake sincerely!

Lu Li kicked a few more times, finding it meaningless, and said, "Enough, enough, stop beating him!"

Lu Li had already established his authority among these young men. When he spoke, it was effective, and no one continued to beat him!

At this moment, Lu Li strangely felt a good deed coming from Luo Feng!

This person was despicable. He didn't thank Lu Li for helping and saving him. Instead, when Lu Li stopped beating him, he thanked Lu Li!
