Time continued to pass but Chu Li was still nowhere to be seen.
Chu Li moved around in the cave, his face as calm as still water.
He had already guessed that Sun Mingyue was beside Li Hanyan waiting for him to appear. If he did not appear, she would really suspect Zhu Hua's words.
That would be the beginning of trouble. Once a thorough investigation was carried out, Sun Mingyue would definitely find out the truth based on her ability. He would definitely be hunted by the Holy Church of Light and it would be difficult for him to survive.
Not to mention others, Sun Mingyue alone was more than enough to kill him. Moreover, the Holy Church of Light had many masters. Not only him, but the High Duke's Public House and the Imperial Residence would also be in trouble. Even Snow Lunar Pavilion would not be spared.
The consequences were like a thousand-kilogram boulder pressing on his shoulders, crushing him.
His mind became more agile. All the formations he had seen and heard were integrated in his mind. He desperately activated the Omniscient Mirror, trying to break through the shackles of the formation and get a general view of it so that he could understand which formation it was.
The Omniscient Mirror seemed to be covered by a veil and could not be seen clearly. Now, he could only guess based on the vague outline and verify it with some details. Then, he desperately tried to find a way to crack it.
He was racing against time. He had two hours. If he did not appear in front of Sun Mingyue within two hours, she would definitely be suspicious and start investigating.
He had to crack this formation within two hours.
At this time, he yearned for the secret skill of the Prophecy Pavilion.
If he had that secret skill, even if he had to pay the price, he would not be willing to bear such a huge risk and pressure. He could just use the secret skill to get out of the formation and appear in front of Sun Mingyue.
This thought flashed through his mind and he quickly focused on cracking the formation.
Time continued to pass but he did not make any progress.
The Omniscient Mirror was still covered by a veil and could not see the full picture of the formation. He could only crack the formation by guessing its origin.
Sun Mingyue opened her eyes and looked at Li Hanyan. "Looks like Chu Li won't appear."
"Big Brother Chu will come back." Li Hanyan pursed her red lips. "I don't know what happened but he will come back sooner or later."
"It's been two hours, right?"
"Almost two hours." Li Hanyan frowned. "Saint, why are you looking for Big Brother Chu? Don't tell me you only want to see him? You are a busy man, and your time is precious. "
"I just wanted to meet him." Sun Mingyue glanced around. "Could it be that he saw me and hid to the side?"
Li Hanyan asked, "Why is Brother Chu hiding from the Saint?"
Sun Mingyue scoffed. "He killed many of the Holy Church's disciples in the Ji Dynasty's Fairy's Capital!"
"If that's the case …" Li Hanyan frowned. "Could it be that the Saint is seeking revenge?"
Sun Mingyue said, "If there's a chance to teach him a lesson, of course we can't let it go."
"Then Big Brother Chu might have really avoided it." Li Hanyan nodded and said, "He won't let himself be taken advantage of."
Sun Mingyue smiled faintly.
Her senses were sharp, so she would definitely be able to detect Chu Li the moment he appeared. However, Chu Li had yet to appear, so she had to consider his whereabouts. She would find out tonight whether Chu Li and Zhao Dahe were the same person!
No matter how good Zhao Dahe's formation was, it was impossible for him to break through the formation and escape in a short period of time. If Chu Li did not show up, then Zhu Hua's words could not be completely ignored. They needed to investigate further.

Chu Li's hands did not stop moving, leaving densely packed marks on the ground. However, his eyebrows were tightly knitted together and his face was gloomy.
As time passed, the pressure on him increased, but he still had no clue.
He felt that his brain was not working fast enough. If he could be a little faster, he might be able to dispel the fog and break through the formation without relying on the Omniscient Mirror.
Unfortunately, although his mind worked like lightning, it was impossible for it to be as fast as lightning. Time was running out, but he still did not make any progress. If this continued, it would soon exceed two hours.
He kept thinking of a way to save himself. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration.
The four Buddhas and one demon in the void of his mind suddenly stopped chanting and began to think about the formation.
In the past, when he wanted to control the four Buddhas and one demon, they did not respond and did not listen to him. They only chanted and did not do anything else.
At first, he did not have high hopes and was just trying it out. However, this time, the four Buddhas and one demon seemed to know that this was a crucial time, so they no longer disobeyed and obediently thought about the formation.
Suddenly, his mind became extremely clear, and his thoughts became extremely agile.
This time, he finally felt what it felt like to think like lightning. It was really faster than lightning, and he could reach the end with just a thought. Usually, he would need to think hard for a long time to figure it out, but now, he could figure it out with just one thought. He passed through all kinds of obstacles as fast as lightning and reached the end in an instant.
This feeling made him understand what it meant to be extremely intelligent. He really had a clear understanding of heaven and earth, and everything in the world was under his control.
He did not dare to be distracted and only focused on the formation.
A formation gradually appeared in the void of his mind. From a part of it to a whole, from an outline to a specific and clear formation. Through deduction, he was able to reproduce the formation outside.
This was completed in just a moment's time.
If this kind of deduction had been done before, he would not have been able to complete it in a day.
He immediately suppressed his joy and figured out what kind of formation it was. The next step was to break it.
Right at this moment, exhaustion surged. His vision turned black as if he was going to pass out at any time. The four Buddhas and one demon in the void of his mind lost their soft light and became dim as if their vitality was dissipating.
He cursed in his heart.
The power of the four Buddhas and one demon could only hold on for a moment. The four Buddhas and one demon used their own spirit, and even though his spirit was strong, he could only hold on for a moment.
His vision turned black and he could no longer see the formation clearly. He wanted to break it, but he was powerless.
He knew that if he persisted, the void of his mind would collapse, and the four Buddhas and one demon would disappear. He would be beaten back to his original form, which was more terrifying than being crippled of his martial arts. He would truly lose hope.
He roared in his heart, full of unwillingness.
God was playing tricks on him. He saw hope, but it immediately sent despair. Was this really his destiny? Was he going to die in the hands of the Holy Church of Light?

Sun Mingyue looked up at the night sky, shook her head, and stood up.
Li Hanyan also stood up. "Saint, you're leaving?"
"Yes, since he's avoiding me, then forget it. I won't force him to see me," Sun Mingyue said faintly. "Tell him that I'll look for him again."
"Yes." Li Hanyan closed fist saluted.
However, she had a bad feeling. She could feel Sun Mingyue's murderous intent, and it was even stronger than before.
Sun Mingyue shook her head and sighed to herself. It seemed that she was wrong. There was indeed something wrong with this Zhao Dahe!
When she thought of this, she had mixed feelings that she could not describe.
She turned around, waved at Li Hanyan, and was about to leave. In fact, she did not want to leave. She felt that she might see Chu Li the next moment, and then she would not have to investigate Zhao Dahe. She would not let the Holy Church of Light become a joke.
