Sun Mingyue muttered, "If that doesn't work, let's go to the Great Light Peak."
"The Great Light Peak isn't safe either." Chu Li shook his head. "Didn't you encounter one last time?"
"I killed one last time, I might not dare to come again," Sun Mingyue said.
Chu Li smiled. "That's hard to say."
"It's safer than your place," Sun Mingyue said.
Chu Li saw that although she spoke calmly, her expression was firm and inviolable, so he stopped struggling and nodded. "Alright, let's go to the Great Light Peak then!"
"I'll arrange a place for you," Sun Mingyue said. "You can calm down and go into isolated cultivation."
Chu Li fist saluted. "Thank you, Saint!"
He understood that Sun Mingyue wanted to keep him under her watch. She was still suspicious of him. Even if she did not suspect him, it was to be prepared and to observe him more clearly.
It seemed that Sun Mingyue's inability to see his own heart was a sore point.
If someone had said that Fang Qingyang was a traitor, she would not have believed or doubted him. After all, she could see through his thoughts.
"Follow me," Sun Mingyue said.
Chu Li said no more and followed her out of the Small Light Peak to the Great Light Peak.
There was a cave in the ice peak that was surrounded by a profound formation. Even with his ability, it would be difficult for him to escape in a short time.
Chu Li frowned and quickly deciphered the formation around him.
He had a bad feeling about this.
Sun Mingyue was closing in on him step by step. He could guess that Sun Mingyue's next move would be to reveal the dagger!
He racked his brains to quickly decipher the formation around him. If he could not, his life would be in danger.
Sun Mingyue led him deeper into the cave.
Because it was an ice peak that was crystal clear, the cave was bright and soft. It was even brighter here than outside.
There was only a bed, a table, and a chair in the cave with a few Buddhist scriptures on the table. It was a good place to meditate in isolation.
Sun Mingyue said, "This is where I cultivate in isolation. It should be safe."
"Thank you, Saint." Chu Li fist saluted.
Sun Mingyue waved her lily-white hand and said, "There is no need to thank me. You should focus on improving your martial techniques as soon as possible. In the future, when we fight with the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries, it will be enough."
Chu Li replied, "Don't worry, Saint. I won't shirk my duty to deal with the Prophecy Pavilion. These people are too sinister and ruthless. I must teach them a lesson!"
"Mm, then you should settle down and go into seclusion. I'll come pick you up in half a month," Sun Mingyue said.
"Yes." Chu Li nodded.
As he watched Sun Mingyue leave without a sound, Chu Li quickly sat down and scribbled on the ground, concentrating on breaking the formation outside.
A while ago, when he was flipping through the Sutra Pavilion, he saw two books on array formations. His experience in array formations had increased by a lot, and he felt a little more confident and hopeful. But even so, he couldn't break the array formation. If he stayed here obediently and waited for everything to come to light, he would definitely be exposed.
Zhu Hua was really vicious. His words were aimed at his weak spot. He had to desperately raise his cultivation, so it would be extremely difficult to kill this guy.

Sun Mingyue appeared gracefully. Fang Qingyang hurriedly gave a fist salute. "Saint, have you seen Zhao Dahe?"
"Mm, I've already made arrangements. He'll go into seclusion with peace of mind," Sun Mingyue said.
"Then, between him and Chu Li …?" Fang Qingyang asked.
Sun Mingyue said, "Don't assume it's just a rumor. It's a mess to believe a word from the Prophecy Pavilion. You should go first!"
"… Yes." Fang Qingyang nodded.
He also felt that he was overreacting. Most importantly, it involved Chu Li. He was extremely wary of Chu Li, and with Zhao Dahe involved, he dared not underestimate him. If it was true, the Holy Church would become a joke.
He would rather believe that it was true than not. Even if it was not true, he still wanted to suppress Zhao Dahe a little.
"I'll go see Chu Li," Sun Mingyue said.
"No!" Fang Qingyang said. "He and High Official Li have returned to the Ji Dynasty."
Once the Saint stepped into the Ji Dynasty, the Enlightened Masters in the Ji Dynasty would definitely move and attack without mercy. No matter how powerful the Saint was, she would not be an Enlightened Master's match.
Sun Mingyue shook her head. "They haven't returned to the Ji Dynasty yet."
"Chu Li's Light-body Technique is excellent …" Fang Qingyang hesitated.
Sun Mingyue said, "I can sense Li Hanyan's location. Don't worry."
"Yes." Fang Qingyang nodded.
Sun Mingyue suddenly disappeared.
The next moment, she appeared beside Li Hanyan.
Under the cold night sky, the moonlight shone like water.
Li Hanyan was sitting next to the bonfire, meditating with her eyes closed.
Her face was as pale as a sheet, without a trace of blood. Her body was exceptionally thin and frail as if a gust of wind could blow her away.
The moment Sun Mingyue appeared, Li Hanyan opened her eyes. They were bright and dazzling.
When she saw that it was Sun Mingyue, Li Hanyan's expression softened. She gave a fist salute. "Greetings, Saint."
Sun Mingyue waved her hand. "No need for formalities. Where's Chu Li?"
"Big Brother Chu went to get some food." Li Hanyan said. "He'll be back soon. Saint, are you here to kill a disciple of the Prophecy Pavilion?"
"I want to meet Chu Li." Sun Mingyue said. "I've heard of him."
Li Hanyan asked, "Saint, you've heard of Big Brother Chu as well?"
"Du Feng of the South, Chu Li of the North," Sun Mingyue said. "He's quite famous. I heard from Fang Wang that he lives up to his reputation."
Li Hanyan let out a smile.
Sun Mingyue sat cross-legged across her. The bonfire shone on her veiled face, revealing her beautiful face through the white veil. Her eyes were as bright as torches.
The crackling of the firewood could be heard from time to time. The surroundings were quiet. It was winter and the insects had curled up and stopped chirping.
The full moon shone coldly in the night sky.
Li Hanyan closed her eyes again to meditate.
Time passed unknowingly. After a quarter of an hour, Sun Mingyue asked, "Where did he go to get food?"
Li Hanyan replied, "He either went hunting or went to the nearby city to look for some food and wine."
"He's not worried that you won't be back for so long?" Sun Mingyue asked.
Li Hanyan shook her head. "I'm not completely helpless. If someone from the Prophecy Pavilion comes again, I can take two hits. Big Brother Chu will be back in time."
Sun Mingyue glanced at her and closed her eyes again.
Li Hanyan also closed her eyes to meditate.
She did not know that Chu Li had been imprisoned in a formation by Sun Mingyue. She felt that nothing could stop him. She only needed to calm down and heal her wounds. She did not have to worry about anything else.
An hour passed by quickly.
The full moon shone on them. The surroundings became quieter and the night grew darker. Only the crackling of the bonfire could be heard.
Sun Mingyue opened her eyes and glanced coldly at Li Hanyan.
Her confidence began to waver.
She did not believe that Zhao Dahe and Chu Li were the same person. However, the more bizarre the matter, the more careful one had to be. Reality often exceeded people's expectations. She was just curious to find out the truth.
However, as time passed and Chu Li was still nowhere to be seen, her heart sank. Could it be that the person from the Prophecy Pavilion was right?
Once she thought about how ridiculous and terrifying it would be if it was true, her heart turned cold and emitted a murderous intent.
Li Hanyan looked at her uncomfortably and could not help but shrink back.
