Chu Li asked, "Does the Prophecy Pavilion really want to start a war with us?"
"Humans don't intend to harm the tiger, but the tiger will devour them." Sun Mingyue's brows were cold. "Looks like we'll have to teach them a lesson."
Chu Li perked up and quickly asked, "Saint, are you really going to fight?"
Sun Mingyue asked, "Do you know where their lair is?"
Chu Li replied, "I've been to their lair, Cloud Dream Mountain, but I couldn't enter because it was protected by a formation. I don't have a secret skill like the Prophecy Pavilion. This formation is so mysterious that I can't break it in a short time, so I can't do anything to them!"
He guessed that Sun Mingyue knew where the Prophecy Pavilion's lair was, but she might not have been there herself.
"It's impolite not to reciprocate." Sun Mingyue said, "Since they're here, we should go and take a look."
Chu Li frowned. "Unfortunately, my formation skills are still shallow, so I can't enter … Why don't I go there and guard and see if I can bump into a disciple from the Prophecy Pavilion and force him to bring me in?"
Sun Mingyue paced with her hands behind her back, her graceful figure covered by her white tunic.
She felt that this was a tricky situation.
The Prophecy Pavilion was indeed difficult to deal with. They could enter and leave Great Light Peak freely, but Great Light Peak could not enter and leave Cloud Dream Mountain as they pleased, which gave them an overwhelming advantage.
This time, she only noticed the disciples from the Prophecy Pavilion when she personally patrolled. Before she went out, they had come countless times and investigated the Great Light Peak for a long time.
Once a fight broke out, they could attack Great Light Peak at any time and hide in Cloud Dream Mountain. The Holy Church of Light could not do anything to them. Once they fell out with each other, they would always have to be on guard against their sneak attacks.
As she thought of this, her face under the white veil became solemn, and her eyes became solemn.
Chu Li said, "Saint, the Prophecy Pavilion isn't that scary. After all, they have fewer people."
"That doesn't mean they're not scary." Sun Mingyue shook her head.
Chu Li said, "They're very good at manipulating people. I'm just afraid that they'll encourage other sects to go against us."
"If that's the case, we have no choice but to fight?" Sun Mingyue turned to look at him.
Once they made it clear, it would not be easy for the Prophecy Pavilion to incite other sects to deal with the Holy Church of Light. If they did not make it clear that they were hostile, it would give the Prophecy Pavilion an opportunity to take advantage of them.
Chu Li's tone suddenly changed. "Actually, it's not that serious. It's not the time for the two factions to go to war yet. They might not have come to Great Light Peak to deal with us. It could be their style of doing things … For the time being, I'll deal with them alone."
When he saw Sun Mingyue's eyes flicker, he changed his mind and no longer encouraged the Holy Church of Light to start a war with the Prophecy Pavilion. He did not want to arouse Sun Mingyue's suspicions, which would be too obvious and counterproductive.
Sun Mingyue was more intelligent than most people. It was very likely that she would realize what had happened and become wary of Chu Li. Then, it would be even more difficult for her to mobilize the Holy Church of Light against the Prophecy Pavilion.
"How are you going to deal with it?" Sun Mingyue asked calmly.
Chu Li laughed. "We'll wait for them to show up and raid their lair!"
"You're quite bold!" Sun Mingyue said.
Chu Li said, "This is what the Saint meant by 'give and take'. We'll intimidate them. Don't think that Great Light Peak is their backyard where they can come and go as they please. The Holy Church of Light is not to be trifled with!"
Sun Mingyue smiled. "Do you really dare to go?"
Chu Li said, "If I can't win, I'll run. My Light-body Technique is quite good."
He could tell that Sun Mingyue had not made up her mind to deal with the Prophecy Pavilion. After all, the Prophecy Pavilion was powerful, especially the hidden forces. Although the Holy Church of Light was strong, they did not want to cause too much trouble.
However, she was not afraid of conflicts between disciples.
"But Saint, do we have any other martial arts or secret skills?" Chu Li asked. "I don't think I can do anything to the Prophecy Pavilion."
Sun Mingyue scoffed. "Your cultivation level is not high enough. What's the use of martial arts or secret skills?"
Chu Li said, "My cultivation level is not high enough …"
Sun Mingyue said, "There's always someone better. Cultivate honestly, there's no shortcut!"
Chu Li laughed. "Then where did the Saint learn all these skills from? Did you start cultivating when you were in your mother's womb? "
"Half of my martial arts is natural." Sun Mingyue said, "You can't compare."
"Natural …" Chu Li nodded slowly.
It was obvious that she had a fortuitous encounter.
Sun Mingyue said, "Focus on your cultivation. Don't worry about the Prophecy Pavilion!"
"I'm afraid that others might not recognize the Cloud Dream Mountain," Chu Li said.
Sun Mingyue said, "I have someone in mind … Where are you going to cultivate in seclusion?"
"Gale City," Chu Li said, "I'm worried about Gale Branch."
"Aren't you afraid that the people from the Prophecy Pavilion will go there?" Sun Mingyue asked.
Chu Li said, "If I'm not there, they'll definitely attack the disciples of Gale Branch."
"I'll send someone to protect Gale Branch. You can cultivate in seclusion at Small Light Peak!" Sun Mingyue said.
Zhao Dahe was too simple-minded and easy to be taken advantage of, but it was also because of this that he could be very useful.
"… Yes, thank you, Saint." Chu Li fist saluted.
He then returned to Small Light Peak and began to set up a formation. He wanted to cover Small Light Peak with a formation so that he would know if anyone came close. Even if they were thousands of miles away, he could return in an instant.
After setting up the formation, he returned to the High Duke's Public House and began to cultivate in seclusion.

Outside Snowy Moon Valley, a long howl was heard. It was clear and resounding, and it was continuous.
After the howl, there was a long yell. "Li Hanyan, Miss Li, please come out …"
Li Hanyan was dressed in a green outfit and was practicing her swordsmanship on the martial arts field. When she heard the yell, she frowned and thought that the voice was familiar. It might be someone she knew, so she sheathed her sword and fluttered out of Snowy Moon Valley.
She saw Fang Qingyang in front of a pine forest outside the valley.
Fang Qingyang's green robe fluttered under the setting sun. He was like a jade tree that stood in the wind, handsome and elegant.
When he saw Li Hanyan, Fang Qingyang smiled and fist saluted. "Miss Li!"
Li Hanyan was stunned. "Xiao Fang, it's you?"
Fang Qingyang smiled. "It's me."
"You've recovered from your injuries?" Li Hanyan said, "You're quite brave to come here!"
Fang Qingyang smiled. "I came here secretly this time, the people from Tempest Temple don't know."
"That's good." Li Hanyan nodded. "What's the matter?"
"I have something to tell you, Miss Li," Fang Qingyang said.
"Follow me then." Li Hanyan pointed at a mountain peak and turned to flutter away.
The two of them arrived at a gazebo on the mountain peak. Li Hanyan sat at a stone table.
Fang Qingyang sat opposite her and sighed. "Miss Li, I have something to confess."
Li Hanyan looked at him coldly with her bright eyes.
Fang Qingyang felt an inexplicable guilt and smiled bitterly. "I'm a disciple of the Holy Church of Light."
"The Holy Church of Light …" Li Hanyan frowned. "In that case, I saved the wrong person and we're enemies."
"No matter what, I'm deeply grateful for Miss Li's saving grace." Fang Qingyang said, "I wonder if Miss Li has ever thought of making peace with the Holy Church?"
Li Hanyan revealed a smile that seemed to be mocking and ridiculing.
Fang Qingyang said, "Actually, we don't have much of a grudge against each other. Miss Li has already taken revenge."
"The Holy Church of Light doesn't want to kill me?"
