Chu Li frowned. "Liang Yinge?"
"You should know Liang Yinge from the Zheng Dynasty's Mysterious Pavilion. You've fought him before. “
"Yes, he's very powerful but I can't kill him."
"The Mysterious Pavilion is like the Holy Church of the Li Dynasty to the Zheng Dynasty. Although the Mysterious Pavilion isn't a martial arts sect, it's the most powerful department in the Zheng Dynasty. "Sun Mingyue nodded.
"Looks like the Mysterious Pavilion is in the way." Chu Li thought about it and shook his head. "I thought the Saint was going to avenge the Twelfth Prince."
"It's not because of him." Sun Mingyue shook her head. "It's because the Mysterious Pavilion is a great threat to the Holy Church."
"I see …" Chu Li nodded. "But we can't kill everyone who threatens the Holy Church, right? That'll be too much to kill. "
"He's very powerful." Sun Mingyue said, "That's why we have to eliminate him."
"Alright. I'll go look for him but my martial arts isn't as good as his. I don't know if I can kill him. "Chu Li nodded without hesitation.
"You really want to go?" Sun Mingyue asked.
She did not expect Chu Li to agree so readily. She thought he would bargain or even fall out with her.
Chu Li said, "As long as I don't help Deng Datong, I don't hate other things."
"Very well, since you're able to kill Liang Yinge, we'll write it off. I won't trouble you again this year, so you can stay in Gale City."
"Alright, no problem!" Chu Li said.
"I'll send you news about Liang Yinge." Sun Mingyue said, "It'll take some time to collect it. Go into isolated cultivation and improve your martial arts. Then, you'll be able to kill Liang Yinge."
"Yes." Chu Li nodded.
Sun Mingyue looked at him with satisfaction. This was how a true subordinate should act, not as unscrupulous as before.
Chu Li asked, "What about Senior Brother Deng?"
"Don't worry about it," Sun Mingyue said.
Chu Li smiled. "His injury won't heal so easily."
Sun Mingyue asked, "What method did you use?"
"The Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture is full of mysteries. Once I've gradually mastered it, I can already unleash its power. He thinks that he has expelled the inner energy, but it's actually just turning it into his own inner energy. After a while, it'll turn back again." Chu Li shook his head. "It'll keep going back and forth."
Sun Mingyue said, "Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture …"
Chu Li replied, "Every time it spins, it'll become stronger, and his injuries will worsen as well. It's like a rolling snowball, and he won't be able to withstand it at all unless we get someone to remove his inner energy. However, I don't think it'll work without a top-notch master. It looks like we'll have to trouble you, Saint, to do it in the end."
"How arrogant." Sun Mingyue snorted and said, "You overestimate the experts of our Holy Church. Any senior expert can treat this injury."
Chu Li grinned and said, "Saint, you can give it a try."
"Don't worry, you'll see soon enough," Sun Mingyue said.
Chu Li said, "If he's careless, he'll really die, but he won't die for a while. In the later stages, the relapse will become more severe, and it won't go away. When that time comes, it'll be almost impossible to treat him completely."
Sun Mingyue shook her head and said, "You're really vicious!"
"Haha …" Chu Li laughed proudly. "If he's heartless, I'll be unjust. Other than the Saint, no one else dares to scheme against me like this!"
"Go." Sun Mingyue scoffed.
Chu Li fist saluted and turned to leave.
Du Ying secretly sighed in relief. She was worried that Chu Li would go back to his old ways and go against the Saint. That would not end well.
"Du Ying, wait up." Sun Mingyue called out to Du Ying who wanted to follow him out.
Du Ying turned her head back reluctantly, and when she turned her head again, Chu Li had already left the Divine Light Basilica.
Sun Mingyue said, "Go to Gale City in a few days and send him some dossiers."
"Yes." Du Ying smiled.
Sun Mingyue looked at her graceful silhouette as she left curiously.
Zhao Dahe was so ugly. Although he looked more pleasing to the eye than before, perhaps it was because of the technique he cultivated, he was still ugly compared to the people around him. She did not expect Du Ying to not care and was even willing to get close to him.
This was an anomaly among the many disciples of the Holy Church of Light. Back then, Li Ruolan was only following orders to get close to Zhao Dahe. After spending a long time with him, she saw Zhao Dahe's nature and did not mind so much.

Chu Li returned to the Public House's island again. Li Hanyan was still wielding her long sword, pondering the essence of Chu Li's previous attack.
The lanterns were first lit, and the island was brightly lit as if it was daytime. The lake outside reflected the bright moon, and the moonlight on the lake merged with the waves.
Li Hanyan's oval face was as fair as jade under the light, and she looked cold and charming.
Chu Li smiled. "Have you thought it through?"
Li Hanyan shook her head. "Am I too stupid?"
"Oh?" Chu Li smiled. "You still have such thoughts?"
"I always feel that I'm stupid. I haven't understood anything after so long."
"If you can understand it in a day, I'll think that I'm stupid." Chu Li shook his head and smiled. "Continue pondering."
"Yes." Li Hanyan smiled.
These few words restored her confidence, and she no longer doubted herself.
She had been thinking for a day but still could not figure it out. It was a little frustrating. It would be good if she could understand something, but there were no clues or flashes of inspiration.
—
Five days later, Chu Li met Du Ying in Gale City. She was carrying two big bags that were filled to the brim with dossiers.
Chu Li smiled.
He had always wanted to kill Liang Yinge, but he could not find his weakness. He did not know his origin, so he had no way to restrain him. Now that he had this information, there was a glimmer of hope to deal with Liang Yinge.
If he still could not deal with him, he could only cultivate and increase his cultivation level before killing him.
Du Ying smiled. "Junior Brother Zhao, I'll stay here for two days. If there's anything you don't understand or want to understand, I'll write it down and bring it back to the Saint."
"It won't take too long. I'll read it right away." Chu Li nodded.
When he saw Du Ying again, he vaguely understood Sun Mingyue's intention. Sun Mingyue wanted Du Ying to become the second Li Ruolan, so that she could restrain the Zhao Dahe that he disguised as.
He shook his head secretly. He was not tempted. Falling in love in the Holy Church of Light was simply asking for trouble. Although Du Ying was good, he could not be too close to her.
He then flipped through the dossiers.
Du Ying did not say anything else. She sat at the side and watched Chu Li quickly flip through the dossiers. He read at the same speed as the Saint, Sun Mingyue. In the blink of an eye, he finished reading one scroll, then the next. He finished reading the two big bags of dossiers in half a day.
After reading Liang Yinge's dossiers, Chu Li frowned.
Liang Yinge's origin was very mysterious, and so was his master. It was said that the Crescent Cryptic Nine Kills Trial was an ancient antique study with amazing power. Moreover, the conditions to cultivate it were very harsh. He was a genius to be able to cultivate it. Such a person was favored by God, so it was not easy to kill him.
Although there were many dossiers, there was still no information about his origin, so they could not find out who he was. They only recorded some of the things he did, which showed his character.
When Du Ying saw Chu Li's serious expression, she hurriedly said, "Junior Brother Zhao, is it not enough?"
Chu Li shook his head. "It's useless."
"Then what should we do?" Du Ying frowned. "Can you still complete the task given by the Saint?"
