Lu Yu Rong saw this and her expression changed. She shouted, "Oh no!"
Even the four Secret Guardians Hall powerhouses who were injured knew that something was wrong. This meant that the disciples of the Holy Church of Light were about to ascend to the Outland.
Lu Yurong could not care less. She snorted softly and her body instantly turned into a blurry shadow, hitting the four of them in the blink of an eye.
No matter how fast they were, they were unable to avoid this palm strike. Each of them suffered a blow from her Empyrean Fairy Palm.
Lu Yurong was sure that if they were hit by the Ninth Heaven Mystic Fairy Palm, they would be severely injured or even killed.
However, after the four of them were hit, the light on their bodies became brighter. It was so bright that it was blinding to look at them directly. Lu Yurong frowned in confusion. She turned to look at the ten masters from the Secret Guardians Hall. They were also suspicious.
The four of them suddenly let out a long howl almost at the same time. The howl was like a rolling tide, shaking the blood of the Secret Guardians Hall masters and causing their expressions to change slightly.
Lu Yurong frowned. The four of them seemed to be even more powerful than before. As time passed, they seemed to be getting stronger and stronger. This did not make sense. The four of them were like torches, burning brighter and brighter.
Immediately, she understood the principles behind the four's secret techniques. She burned like a torch, burning more and more fiercely.
After the whistling sound, the radiance on the four people's bodies suddenly became even brighter. It was so bright that one couldn't look at it directly, like a scorching sun.
Suddenly, the sky darkened, and the four of them turned into four beams of light that shot into the sky.
Suddenly, a door of light appeared in the night sky. It was illusory and clear. It was huge and vast. It slowly opened, and the vague silhouettes of palaces and people could be seen inside the door. It seemed like there were people flying inside. Four beams of light shot to the door, and four figures appeared.
This strange phenomenon startled the people of the Fairy's Capital. They all raised their heads to take a look. Those who understood already knew that the gates of the Sky Beyond Heaven had been opened. Someone had ascended to the Sky Beyond Heaven, and it was a joyous occasion.
Chu Li laughed in the dark. Lu Yurong had failed this time.
Lu Yurong stared at the door of light in the sky. Her brows were tightly knitted together, and her eyes flashed with anger.
They had embarrassed themselves this time. Moreover, as soon as the light door appeared, the rest of the Holy Church of Light's disciples knew that they should not even think about attacking again. This time, the purge operation was considered a complete failure.
Chu Li saw Lu Yurong's expression through the Omniscient Mirror and could not help but smile. He was happy to see Lu Yurong being humiliated.

As the sun set, Chu Li looked at the Cloud Dream Mountain in front of him and was filled with emotions.
This mountain didn't look very tall. At first glance, there were only bare rocks and no trees. It really didn't make people have the desire to climb it. Just a glance would make people want to turn around and leave. The bare rocks faintly emitted an oppressive chill, desolate and barren.
However, Chu Li could tell that this mountain was just a smokescreen. It was shrouded in a huge formation, so it was impossible to climb up. One would have to go around in circles and would never be able to find the way up the mountain.
For such a formation to be used as a disguise, it was definitely from a famous sect. Moreover, it was a large sect with a long history. Ordinary sects did not have such a powerful formation.
This was the Dreamcloud Mountain where the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries was located.
At first, he suspected that Lu Yurong was lying to him. However, after seeing the appearance of the Cloud Dream Mountain, he believed her.
He used the Omniscient Mirror to observe the formation. Since it was covered by the formation, the Omniscient Mirror could not see through it. He could only observe the general situation. It was like looking at flowers in the fog or the moon in the water, everything was hazy.
After observing for a while, he could not tell what kind of formation it was. It seemed to be a combination of several formations.
He could not understand what this formation was, but he knew that it must be powerful. His instincts kept warning him not to go near it.
After observing for a while, Chu Li suddenly disappeared and returned to Gale Branch.
Just as he sat in his house in Gale City, he heard footsteps coming from outside. Kou Qiong's voice was heard. "Young Master?"
"You're here at the right time. Come in," Chu Li said.
Kou Qiong opened the door and entered. He gave Chu Li a fist salute. "Young Master, something bad has happened."
Chu Li pointed at the armchair opposite him.
Kou Qiong sat opposite him and said, "Recently, I've heard rumors about you from the Great Light Peak."
"What rumors?" Chu Li asked casually.
"They say that you're not from the Li Dynasty," Kou Qiong said.
Chu Li laughed. "If I'm not from the Li Dynasty, where am I from?"
"Some say that you're from the Zheng Dynasty, some say that you're from the Qiu Dynasty, and some say that you're from the Fu Dynasty." Kou Qiong shook his head. "There are all kinds of rumors, but many people are curious about which country you're from, Young Master."
Chu Li's expression changed.
He was not the one who spread the rumor.
Back then, he claimed that he was a citizen of the Zheng Dynasty in order to mislead the public. He gambled to shut Ding Ruijie's mouth so that Ding Ruijie would never see Sun Mingyue again. Now, it seemed that his plan was a success. However, when he heard this rumor, Chu Li sensed a conspiracy.
Some said that he was from the Zheng Dynasty, some said that he was from the Qiu Dynasty, and some said that he was from the Fu Dynasty. This gave everyone the impression that he was not from the Li Dynasty.
Most importantly, Sun Mingyue could see through the hearts of the others and know whether they were loyal or not, but she could not see through him.
As the Saint of the Holy Church of Light, Sun Mingyue held a high position and was almost second only to the Lord. She even ruled the Holy Church of Light alone. Naturally, she had the common problem of being suspicious and distrustful of others.
If these rumors reached Sun Mingyue's ears, no matter how determined she was, she would still want to investigate him.
Chu Li frowned and pondered. If Sun Mingyue investigated carefully, she would inevitably find some clues.
This must be Ding Ruijie's conspiracy. She beat him at his own game and tricked him again.
"Young Master, these rumors are a little strange." Kou Qiong frowned and said, "Could it be that someone from the Holy Church of Light wants to deal with you, Young Master?"
"Yes." Chu Li nodded.
"How do we find that person?" Kou Qiong said, "Since they've made a move, we must retaliate!"
Chu Li said, "I'll return to the Great Light Peak immediately!"
Kou Qiong looked worried. "Young Master, are these rumors really that powerful?"
Chu Li frowned and said, "That depends on what the Saint thinks!"
"Then be careful, Young Master," Kou Qiong said.
Chu Li waved his hand and disappeared in a flash.
The next moment, he appeared at the foot of the Great Light Peak and glided up the peak to the Divine Light Basilica.
Du Ying was standing on the steps. When she saw him, her eyes flashed, but she turned around and returned to the basilica to report to Sun Mingyue.
A moment later, Du Ying stood on the steps and gave a fist salute. "Junior Brother Du, come in."
Chu Li gave a fist salute and stepped into the Divine Light Basilica. He went to the center of the basilica and looked at Sun Mingyue who was sitting behind the table.
Sun Mingyue was dressed in white with a white veil covering her face. She looked at him calmly.
Chu Li said, "Saint, I'm here to ask for forgiveness."
"What kind of punishment?" Sun Mingyue asked.
Her eyes were cold as she looked at Chu Li with a probing gaze.
Chu Li said, "I've offended the Prophecy Pavilion and caused great trouble for the Holy Church!"
Sun Mingyue said, "Ding Ruijie?"
Chu Li nodded slowly and said, "I know how powerful the Prophecy Pavilion is. Now that I've experienced it for myself, it's indeed terrifying!"
"You're here because of the rumors, right?" Sun Mingyue asked.
Chu Li said, "The public's words can melt gold. No matter how upright I am, I can't stand this. I'm afraid that everyone thinks that I'm not from the Li Dynasty and that I'm a traitor of the Holy Church. If the Prophecy Pavilion does this to the Holy Church, there'll be endless trouble."
