The Third Elder sighed and sat back down, his attitude indicating that he would neither participate nor oppose the event.

When the Second Elder brought up this matter, the Sect Master of Yunding Sect was reminded of the First Elder.

"I heard that the Grand Elder has already betrothed his daughter Mengru to that brat Chu Wang. I'm afraid I should inform the Grand Elder about this matter."

He carefully considered his words before speaking.

The Fourth Elder, who was the most hot-tempered among them, immediately spoke up: "What's there to say? A person like Chu Wang, who is a threat to the continent, should naturally be killed immediately!"

"I believe that even if the Grand Elder knew, he wouldn't say anything!"

The Fourth Elder's statement received the most support from those present; such a scourge should naturally be eliminated as soon as possible.

Moreover, the Grand Elder is currently investigating the matter of the demons and will not be back for a while.

The sect leader of Yunding Sect hesitated for a moment, but ultimately said nothing.

Although he believed in the divine and demonic fortune-changing array that Qingjian spoke of, he looked down on Chu Wang.

No matter how prodigious a genius is, if they haven't fully matured, they can easily be ruined.

Although Chu Wang advanced quickly, he was only at the Spirit Emperor level at the moment, so there was nothing to fear.

They made a decision to eliminate Chu Wang, this scourge, and immediately sent their disciples to find him.

However, after searching the entire Yunding Sect, they were unable to find Chu Wang.

The Cloud Cauldron Sect Master frowned as he looked at the disciple standing below reporting, and asked in a cold voice, "How could we not find him? Hasn't he been at the sect recently?"

“Yes, he came to me yesterday to collect something,” the Third Elder said.

The disciples below shook their heads: "Reporting to the sect master, we have indeed searched the entire sect, but we have not found Chu Wang."

"Alright, you may all leave now," said the sect master of Yunding Sect.

The disciples immediately withdrew.

What are your thoughts on this?

Several elders shook their heads.

The Fourth Elder cursed Chu Wang as a slippery character.

"He was lucky, otherwise I would have killed him."

"Then what should we do now?" the Fifth Elder asked.

"What else can we do but issue a bounty? The Cloud Cauldron Continent is so vast, we don't know where Chu Wang is hiding. The only thing we can do now is to make this public. I don't believe Chu Wang can hide forever!"

Third Elder: "No, no, if this is announced, it will definitely cause panic..."

"Panic my ass! If we don't deal with this guy soon, he'll absorb all the luck of the entire continent. He's already leveled up every two months, and with more and more luck accumulating around him, even we probably won't be able to defeat him!" The Fourth Elder said hastily.

"What the fourth brother said makes sense," the Cloud Cauldron Sect Master echoed.

The others clearly leaned more towards the Fourth Elder's viewpoint.

The Third Elder said nothing more, tacitly acknowledging this viewpoint.

So, where did Chu Wang go?

At this moment, Chu Wang and Meng Ru were sitting on the flying boat.

I don't know if it's really because Chu Wang was lucky.

Meng Ru happened to pass by while the elders were talking. She didn't hear what they were saying, but she heard the elders and the sect leader talking about killing Chu Wang.

Now that her father, the Grand Elder, is no longer in the sect, Meng Ru had nowhere else to turn but to find Chu Wang and secretly escape with him.

Meng Ru pinched the jade bead around her neck, raised her eyes and looked at Chu Wang with deep affection: "Thanks to the gift you gave me, even the sect leader didn't notice me."

This jade bead is an upgraded version of the breath-sealing stone, capable of even deceiving the spirit emperor's divine sense.

If it weren't for this thing, she probably would have been discovered before even getting close to the main hall, and wouldn't have been able to overhear such news.

Chu Wang raised an eyebrow and stared at the jade bead on the other person's chest.

Every cause has its effect; the thing he gave away actually saved him.

"Chu Wang, let's go see my father first. He will definitely stand up for you."

Chu Wang smiled but stared at Meng Ru without saying a word.

Meng Ru blushed slightly, feeling a little shy under the other person's direct gaze.

She didn't know when it started, but she always felt that Chu Wang's aura seemed to have become stronger.

People naturally admire strength, and she liked Chu Wang even more now.

However, preoccupied with her shyly bowing her head, she failed to see the coldness in Chu Wang's eyes.

Chu Wang may have had some feelings for Meng Ru before, but in reality, he was mostly using her to obtain more resources.

Having been reborn and seen a wider world, Chu Wang naturally had no interest in Meng Ru.

He now has only one thing on his mind, and that is...

—Become a god!

Thinking that the woman in front of him was still useful, Chu Wang could only hide the coldness in his eyes and reach out to pull her into his arms.

"Aru, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, I probably would be dead by now." He said these words with deep affection, his face expressionless.

As Meng Ru looked up, he immediately put on a smile again.

"What is our relationship? There's no need for thanks between husband and wife. It was the sect leader and the others who went too far. They attacked you without even investigating the matter properly. Don't worry, Chu Wang, once I find my father, I will definitely make him get justice for you!"

Meng Ru spoke indignantly. Like a lovestruck woman, she kept pointing out the faults of everyone in the Yun Ding Sect.

Chu Wang's eyes were full of admiration.

But in his heart, he used two words to describe the woman in front of him: idiot.

"Let's not go find your father first. It's not easy to leave the sect now, don't you want to visit my hometown?"

Without a second thought, Meng Ru agreed: "Okay! Then we won't look for my father. Let's go to your hometown first, and when we get back, we'll find my father to get justice for you!"

Chu Wang's smile widened.

His gaze drifted into the distance, looking down at the scenery from high above.

Now that we've been exposed on the Cloud Peak Continent, it's not convenient for us to act. It would be better to go back to Canglan and take back all the things that belong to me that I've hidden there.

Thinking of the celestial book that was bound to his soul, his mind immediately became active.

Having been given a second chance at life, he could obtain twice as much as in his previous life. He refused to believe that he still couldn't shake the will of Heaven!

Thinking of this, he looked up and glanced at the white clouds and blue sky.

As if provoked by Chu Wang, the sky, which had been clear, suddenly became covered with dark clouds, with flashes of lightning visible among them.

Startled by the sudden clap of thunder, Meng Ru, who was nestled in Chu Wang's arms, quickly got out of his embrace and looked up at the suddenly changed sky.

"Why is it dark now? It was perfectly fine just a moment ago..."

Judging from the look of it, it seemed like it was going to rain, and the lightning flashes in the dark clouds made Meng Ru especially worried.

Her small flying boat couldn't withstand being struck by lightning.

She voiced her concerns.

"Then let's land here," Chu Wang said.

Meng Ru nodded.

The flying boat quickly landed on the ground and was stored away by Meng Ru.

What came into view was a very familiar scene.
