Fa Yuan shook his head. "Brother Chu, I don't think you can hide your relationship with Du Feng from the Emperor. If we can see it, how can he not?"
"What is the Tempest Temple trying to do?" Chu Li frowned.
Fa Yuan smiled. "Although we feel sorry for King An's death, we have no intention of avenging him. Death is death. However, our temple is very interested in this Du Feng. We want to know more about him. This person is too mysterious."
Chu Li said, "He is no longer in the Ji Dynasty or we would have found him long ago."
"Looks like Brother Chu is really related to Du Feng." Fa Yuan smiled.
Chu Li said impatiently, "That is obvious. If I were him, I would escape the Ji Dynasty too. No matter how powerful the Emperor is, he can't reach the Li Dynasty, Qiu Dynasty, Fu Dynasty, and Zheng Dynasty."
"But the Emperor can destroy Snow Lunar Pavilion. Fa Yuan said, "If that's the case, Du Feng will definitely come back for revenge. Du Feng has a close relationship with Snow Lunar Pavilion, this is something everyone knows."
Chu Li frowned.
Fa Yuan said, "But the strange thing is, the Emperor hasn't touched Snow Lunar Pavilion … But that doesn't mean the other sects won't take action and show goodwill to the Imperial Family."
Chu Li shook his head slowly.
If Snow Lunar Pavilion was in trouble, Li Hanyan would have sent a message.
However, this was indeed dangerous and getting more dangerous.
Du Feng's relationship with Snow Lunar Pavilion was well known. Snow Lunar Pavilion would be a major suspect if the Emperor was after Du Feng. There were no fools in this world. Everyone was smart. Seeing that Snow Lunar Pavilion was safe and the Imperial Court did not make a move, they just watched quietly.
However, as time passed, there would inevitably be opportunists who would test the waters and go against Snow Lunar Pavilion.
Although he had set up a formation outside Snow Lunar Pavilion to prevent them from coming out, accidents were inevitable. It would not let his wishful thinking succeed.
"Forget it. I know Du Feng's background. He is a disciple of the Heavenly Demonic Sect. He is the sworn enemy of the Tempest Temple," Chu Li said.
"The Heavenly Demonic Sect?" Fa Yuan was shocked.
Chu Li said, "So he must have escaped to the Fu Dynasty."
"That's impossible …" Fa Yuan pondered. "The disciples of the Heavenly Demonic Sect are good at disguising themselves, but their martial arts skills are ordinary. Du Feng's knife technique is top-notch, and his cultivation level is top-notch. This doesn't match the characteristics of the disciples of the Heavenly Demonic Sect."
Chu Li smiled and said, "He's a genius in martial arts. He can learn any martial art in one go. Moreover, he can change his appearance, so it's very easy for him to secretly learn martial arts!"
"That's true." Fa Yuan sighed. "The martial arts of the Heavenly Demonic Sect are strange and mysterious. What's even more fatal is that after cultivating the Heavenly Demonic Power, it will affect one's temperament and make one evil and cruel. In the end, it will become a great disaster."
Chu Li asked, "Can you deal with Heavenly Demonic Sect then?"
Fa Yuan was not one to speak without thinking, but there was nothing wrong with the fact that he had cultivated the Heavenly Demonic Power. It was just that when he was pretending to be Zhao Dahe, he would inevitably feel that he was unable to act out his role. He was already on his guard, but other than that, there was nothing unusual.
Could it be caused by his Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture?
Fa Yuan said, "They are in the Fu Dynasty, they are powerless."
"If you really hate him, why don't you go over?"
"The Fu Dynasty is the world of Taoism. It'll be very troublesome for Buddhist disciples to enter." Fa Yuan shook his head.
Chu Li smiled and said, "I see that there are very few Buddhist disciples in the Fu Dynasty, and they are all scattered around. Is it because they were defeated by Taoism?"
Fa Yuan smiled bitterly.
Chu Li was surprised. "Is that true?"
Fa Yuan sighed and said, "Back then, there was a war between Buddhism and Taoism in the Fu Dynasty. In the end, Taoism won and the Buddhism was chased out of the Fu Dynasty. They could only set up temples in the four directions and could not step into the Fu Dynasty's territory."
"Even now, you can't go in?"
"Everyone has the right to punish them."
"Hehe … Interesting." Chu Li shook his head and laughed.
As the two were talking, Su Ru hurried over. She was dressed in an apricot gown and her beautiful face was solemn. She approached Chu Li and said, "Chief, I have confidential news!"
As she spoke, she glanced at Fa Yuan.
Chu Li said, "Say it, Fa Yuan is not a person who speaks without thinking."
"Senior Sister Su from Snow Lunar Pavilion is dead," Su Ru said.
Chu Li was stunned and his face darkened. "Don't you have spirit pills with you?"
The important disciples of Snow Lunar Pavilion all had the Spirit Blessing Pill. Even if they died, it would not matter. As long as they consumed the Spirit Blessing Pill in time, they would be able to come back to life. A master like Shu Qingdie should not have been killed.
Shu Qingdie's beautiful face appeared in his mind. He thought about her sudden death and that they would be separated from each other forever. It was really hard to accept.
Su Ru said coldly, "She died with her head hanging high. Spirit pills are useless."
Chu Li asked, "Who did it?"
"I don't know." Su Ru sighed and said, "She was ambushed."
Chu Li said in a low voice, "Didn't you forbid them from leaving the valley?"
"They can't stay here forever. There are some things that require them to leave the valley," Su Ru said.
Chu Li said slowly, "I'll go over immediately!"
He turned to look at Fa Yuan and sized him up.
Fa Yuan quickly waved his hand and said, "Brother Chu, you won't suspect us, right? Our temple did not do anything! "
"Not you?" Chu Li said coldly, "There are not many masters who can kill Miss Shu."
Shu Qingdie was also a Grandmaster now. That was why she dared to come out.
His anger surged up like a fountain and kept rushing to the top of his head. He could not suppress it no matter what.
Fa Yuan said, "It can't be our temple … I'll go back to the temple and help investigate."
Chu Li's face was stiff as he gave a fist salute.
Fa Yuan tactfully said goodbye and left. He glided over the top of the wall and disappeared without a trace.
Chu Li and Su Ru arrived at Tianshu Courtyard. Siao Shi and Siao Qi were there. There was also Shen Yinghu who he had not seen for a long time.
The atmosphere in Tianshu Courtyard was heavy. The ladies did not speak. Seeing him enter, Siao Shi said, "Chu Li, what should we do?"
Chu Li said, "I'll find the murderer and avenge Miss Shu!"
Shen Yinghu was dressed in a green tunic. She sat quietly by the stone table. Her expression was solemn. Her eyebrows were shrouded in melancholy, but her figure was still enchanting and graceful.
Chu Li gave a fist salute and said, "Senior, please stay here and help me protect the Second Lady."
"Both of us will go back. Xiao Qi and Xiao Ru, don't go back. We don't want our identities to be exposed." Shen Yinghu sighed and said, "That girl Qingdie is really unlucky. She failed miserably in such an easy task!"
Shu Qingdie was an outstanding talent among the second generation disciples. She was already a Grandmaster at a young age. She had a bright future ahead of her. She would become the Pavilion Leader of Snow Lunar Pavilion in the future. No one would have thought that she would die so early.
Siao Qi said, "Chu Li, let us know if there's any news."
Chu Li nodded.
He reached out and grabbed Shen Yinghu's wrist through her tunic. They disappeared in a flash.
The two of them appeared in Shen Yinghu's waterside pavilion.
Shen Yinghu opened the door and walked out of the upper corridor. Chu Li followed closely behind. His Omniscient Mirror had already been activated. Soon, he found Shu Qingdie's corpse.
Her beautiful face was pale and lifeless. Even with her eyes closed, he could still see the disbelief on her face.
Seeing the circle of stitches on her snow-white neck, Chu Li's killing intent boiled and he could not control it.
Shen Yinghu was walking in front. She felt the murderous intent and turned her head to look at him.
Chu Li understood what she meant. He nodded and said, "I will calm down."
As the saying goes, anger should not be used. Anger would only ruin things. It would affect one's mind and judgment, making it easier for one to be deceived.
He would not underestimate anyone. This murderer must be caught, but he could not be impatient. He did not want to fall into a trap instead. Maybe this was a trap in itself. He had to be careful.
These thoughts turned in his mind but were quickly extinguished. He forced himself to calm down.
"Senior Shen, you go and see the Pavilion Leader and the others. I will go and see Miss Shu," Chu Li said.
