277: Clean up the house?

Lei Li bowed.

Then, like a shaman performing a ritual dance, he began to display his cultivation technique amidst the crowd.

And it really was quite something.

Perhaps it was because of his strong cultivation.

Within the Seven Stars Sacred Altar, which could suppress the spiritual power in everyone's bodies, Lei Li was actually able to condense a small, thin, and delicate clone, like a piece of paper, relying on the powerful spiritual power within his own body.

This clone shimmered with the light of lightning, merely an outline of a human figure.

At this moment, the Devil Sect Master couldn't help but ask,

"Just this mere Five Elements clone, can it really break out of this Seven Stars Sacred Altar? I don't believe it!"

Unexpectedly, the Devil Sect Master's words gave Lei Li a sliver of an opportunity.

He feigned gritting his teeth and sweating, saying with great effort,

"This Seven Stars Sacred Altar suppresses spiritual power, even for a Qi Luck Child like me, I've already reached my limit. I ask all fellow Daoists to lend me a hand!"

As soon as these words were spoken, several kind-hearted and sincere cultivators immediately contributed the only bit of spiritual power they had, which maintained the operation of their Qi Sea Snow Mountain.

For a time, spiritual energy swirled and enveloped Lei Li's body.

And Lei Li glared, appearing to be in great pain.

To the cultivators, Lei Li was forcibly digesting the cultivation of others.

If it were the Devil Sect, such an action would be scorned by thousands.

But if it was Lei Li,

In the eyes of the sect members, Lei Li was their hope and faith.

For him to absorb the cultivation of others was only natural and right!

Even if...

Others saw that those who had given their cultivation to Lei Li rapidly aged and became breathless, as if they had passed through a time tunnel.

They still felt that this action was worthwhile.

At this moment, the electric light figure that Lei Li had summoned also began to move slowly.

The figure approached the edge of the Seven Stars Sacred Altar, weakly waving its arms.

However, as soon as its arm touched the edge of the Sacred Altar, it was immediately cut and consumed by a scorching energy.

Everyone couldn't help but feel terrified.

At the same time, some people felt disheartened.

But Lei Li stepped forward again and shouted,

"The spiritual power remaining in the bodies of a few fellow Daoists is definitely not enough! Please, everyone, lend me a hand! As long as we work together, we can surely break through this formation!"

Lei Li's words inexplicably had great appeal.

Immediately, several more people stepped forward and offered all of their cultivation.

At this time, the lightning figure indeed seemed to have become a little stronger.

But it still couldn't break through the edge of the formation.

At this moment, Lei Li feigned pain and loudly reprimanded those present,

"Why do you not quickly reveal your cultivation? We are so close to escaping!"

However, within and outside the sect, there were always selfish people in this world.

To save their own lives, they certainly wouldn't give all of their cultivation to others.

This included the Devil Sect Master and the Tianlei Sect Master, along with other experts.

However, at this moment, Lei Li loudly shouted to his master, the Tianlei Sect Master,

"Master! They are all unwilling to help me. Why don't you, old man, take the lead and show them how united, how sacrificial, and how dedicated our Tianlei Sect is!"

The Tianlei Sect Master wished he could curse out loud at this moment.

But Lei Li's words instantly made him the target of everyone's criticism.

That's right, the sect master, who claimed to be the strongest of the Tianlei Sect, wasn't taking the lead. Why should others donate their cultivation?

However, the Tianlei Sect Master's heart was filled with resentment.

How could the disciple he had spent hundreds of years cultivating now demand his cultivation!

For a moment, he had no choice but to hastily find an excuse.

"Good disciple! Your master is advanced in years. If I were to transfer all of my cultivation to you, not only would you be unable to absorb it all, but I, your master, would also turn into a pile of old bones!"

The Tianlei Sect Master thought he had found an unassailable excuse.

After all, he was indeed advanced in years.

Although donating his cultivation at this moment could save many people,

He couldn't just disregard his own life for the sake of others!

But just as the Tianlei Sect Master thought he was in an invincible position,

A hint of killing intent suddenly appeared in Lei Li's eyes.

This chilling killing intent appeared for only a second before instantly vanishing.

The Tianlei Sect Master even thought he had seen wrong.

At this moment, the surrounding people also cast unkind gazes at the Tianlei Sect Master.

It was as if Lei Li had already taken control of their minds.

The Tianlei Sect Master realized something was amiss, so he immediately took a step back and said,

"I can only preserve my old life by retaining my cultivation. You wouldn't kill me just to save yourselves, would you!"

"I could, however, give half of my cultivation..."

The Tianlei Sect Master's words were not yet fully spoken.

Suddenly, Lei Li's expression changed instantly.

"Fellow Daoists, although I, Lei Li, am a member of the Tianlei Sect and a direct disciple of the Tianlei Sect Master, I am never one to protect my own or show favoritism!"

"Now, my master is selfish and disregards the lives of others for his own. This truly shows that I, Lei Li, am not filial enough as a disciple!"

"Today, I shall cleanse the Tianlei Sect of such selfish individuals to uphold the Tianlei Sect's standing among cultivators!"

The Tianlei Sect Master's eyes widened.

"Rebellion against heaven! This is rebellion against heaven!"

People often say that a master might expel a disciple from the mountain, or personally cripple their martial arts, to cleanse the sect.

But this was the first time anyone had ever seen someone try to kill their own master to cleanse the sect.

Among cultivators, a master is greater than heaven.

Respecting one's master and valuing the Dao is the most fundamental Dao Heart.

Unexpectedly, Lei Li was now going to kill his own master.

This wasn't even the main point.

Lei Li's words were full of deceptive meaning.

To others, Lei Li was speaking on their behalf.

Moreover, no one believed that as the future successor of the Tianlei Sect,

And also the direct disciple of the current Tianlei Sect Master,

Lei Li would actually kill his own master for the sake of these insignificant small fries present?

But Lei Li proved everything with his actions.

He suddenly reached out and made a grasping motion, and curved, worm-like electric arcs shot from his fingertips.

Everyone heard a tearing, crackling sound.

The lightning actually drew in the Tianlei Sect Master.

It was as if his entire body was shackled.

Immediately after, the Tianlei Sect Master's body became uncontrollable, and he could only allow himself to fly into Lei Li's palm.

Lei Li clutched his master's neck.

Seeing that aging face, not only did he feel no mixed emotions, but he even felt a bit of triumph.

"Haha! Master, today you sacrificed your small self for the greater good to save the people of Tianling Peak. We will surely remember all of your monumental achievements, and in the future, the highest peak on that mountain will bear your inscription!"

As he spoke, a vortex gathered in Lei Li's palm.

The nine golden cores bestowed by the system on his body operated frantically.

He actually instantly absorbed all of his master's Nascent Soul stage cultivation, leaving nothing behind!
