"Could it be that Junior Sister Song did something wrong?" Qu Xiao replied in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing, "Even if Junior Sister Song did something wrong and is punished by having her martial arts crippled, it should be handled by the Punishment Hall. Junior Master Liang, if you act rashly, wouldn't it be against the pavilion's rules?"
Liang Sheng sneered. "You have a good relationship with Xu Hun, right?"
"… It's just a normal friendship." Qu Xiao frowned.
"That's good." Liang Sheng scoffed coldly. "Xu Wu is a spy from the Holy Church of Light. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have been ambushed by the Holy Church of Light and my little brother wouldn't have lost his life!"
Everyone was shocked to hear this.
"Impossible, right?" The white-haired old man, Lu Xi, frowned and said, "If he's a spy, how could he escape the Pavilion Master's eyes?!"
"Maybe he didn't have any problems in the beginning," Liang Sheng said.
Lu Xi shook his head. "If he really is a traitor, he won't be able to hide it from the Pavilion Master!"
The Pavilion Master could see through a person's fate. If Xu Hun had really become a traitor, he would not have been able to hide it from the Pavilion Master, and he would not have allowed him to enter the Pavilion in the first place. Hence, there were many doubts about this matter. He looked at Liang Sheng with some suspicion.
Liang Sheng scoffed. "This brat lured us into the formation. If it weren't for the formation's interference, the people from the Holy Church of Light wouldn't have been able to kill me!"
"Maybe he's being used by the Holy Church of Light," Lu Xi said.
No matter what, he did not believe that Xu Hun would become a traitor.
Moreover, he also knew about the grudge between Xu Hun and Tan Gu. He understood that Liang Sheng and Liang Wen must have gone to teach Xu Hun a lesson. Unfortunately, they encountered a trap and were ambushed, causing them to lose their lives.
He really didn't know what to say. It was a bit too much to say that he deserved it, but it still felt like he was reaping what he sowed.
Liang Sheng gritted his teeth and said slowly, "Senior Brother Lu, you must avenge me no matter what. We must deal with the Holy Church of Light. We should also establish our authority and let the world know how powerful the Prophecy Pavilion is!"
"Not bad." Lu Xi nodded.
He had a deep hatred for the Holy Church of Light. Junior Brother Lu, who had passed away, was his best friend, but he had died at the Great Light Peak without a proper burial.
Qu Xiao said in a low voice, "Martial Uncle Liang, even if Junior Brother Xu is a spy, Junior Sister Song wouldn't know. How could she be implicated by him?"
"Crippling her martial arts can be considered as a lesson to her." Liang Sheng said coldly, "Let her know how to respect herself and keep her eyes open. I heard that she fell in love with that Xu brat, is that right?"
Qu Xiao hurriedly shook his head and said, "No."
"This matter ends here, get out!" Liang Sheng said coldly.
Qu Xiao glared at him, unconvinced.
"What, you also want to cripple my martial arts?" Liang Sheng sneered, "You think I don't dare?"
Qu Xiao glanced at Liang Wen's corpse on the ground, and then looked at Liang Sheng's bloodshot eyes. He knew that Liang Sheng had gone crazy, otherwise he wouldn't have done such a crazy thing as crippling Junior Sister Song's martial arts. A wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him. He could only lie low for now and then complain to the Pavilion Master to seek justice for Junior Sister Song.
He cupped his fists and turned to leave.
"The young disciples nowadays all think that they are the best in the world!" Liang Sheng sneered and turned his head. "Senior Brother Lu, I must avenge my younger brother. Regardless of whether the Pavilion Master agrees to destroy the Holy Church of Light or not, I'll do it anyway."
"You …" Lu Xi shook his head and said no more. "You better be careful, the Holy Church of Light isn't made of paper!"
"I want them to know the consequences of offending the Prophecy Pavilion!" Liang Sheng gritted his teeth and said slowly.

Chu Li returned to Spirit Cranes Peak.
The two cranes shot toward him like two white lights, but they suddenly stopped and did not attack him.
They had sharp eyes and amazing intuition. When they noticed that Chu Li was injured, they looked at him curiously.
Chu Li went forward and patted their wings. He smiled and said, "I fought with someone and was slightly injured, but I won!"
The two cranes let out a clear cry.
They were extremely intelligent, even more so than humans. Chu Li, Siao Shi, and Xiao Qi had been here many times, so they could already understand their words.
Chu Li sat cross-legged on a boulder. He activated the Life and Death Scripture and the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture at the same time to quickly heal his injuries. He had to return to Great Light Peak as soon as possible.
This time, he fought with injuries to gain the upper hand, or else it would have been really dangerous.
He was quite proud of the idea he had when he made his move. This way, he could directly put the blame on the Holy Church of Light and provoke a conflict between the two sects. Next, he would have to see if he could muddy the waters. Only by taking advantage of the situation would he have a chance to obtain the Star Stone.
As he activated the Heavenly Heart Technique, a smile slowly appeared on his face. He realized that the Heavenly Heart Technique had indeed improved a little. His sense of closeness to heaven and earth was stronger, the Life and Death Scripture was more agile, and the Omniscient Mirror was clearer.
As far as he knew, the progress of the Heavenly Heart Technique after reaching the ninth level was very slow. It would take hundreds of years of grinding before there was a chance of perfecting it.
It was a great surprise to be able to improve so quickly.
When he fought with Liang Sheng, the Heavenly Heart Technique did not change. However, after he killed Liang Wen, the Heavenly Heart Technique suddenly changed and suddenly improved.
At that time, he did not have the time to carefully experience it. Now that he studied it carefully, it was indeed not an illusion.
His thoughts turned quickly and suddenly, a light bulb went off. Could it be that killing disciples who also cultivated the Heavenly Heart Technique could actually improve the Heavenly Heart Technique?
Was this like the Heavenly Demonic Sect's Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique?
If that was the case, it would be a shocking secret that no one would tell anyone!
Could it be that Liang Sheng had cultivated him to the ninth level before killing him? One of the reasons was to deceive the pavilion master, and the other was to improve the Heavenly Heart Technique?
He then shook his head. It was easy to verify this conjecture. He would find out after he killed Liang Sheng.
After eating two fruits, his internal injuries recovered. Then, he bid farewell to the two cranes and suddenly disappeared. The next moment, he appeared at the Great Light Peak.
He obediently went into isolated cultivation at the Great Light Peak.
Five days later, a long howl suddenly sounded and shook the entire Great Light Peak. Even with the protection of the formation, the entire Great Light Peak could hear it.
A moment later, Sun Mingyue arrived in a white tunic.
Chu Li stopped howling and smiled at Sun Mingyue. "Saint, how's my cultivation level?"
This time, he had concealed half of his cultivation level. On the surface, it seemed like his cultivation level had doubled. He was confident that he was only inferior to the Saint in the Holy Church of Light.
Sun Mingyue wore a white veil and her eyes were clear as water. She smiled. "Mm, it's worth going into isolated cultivation for so long. It's really impressive."
This time, Chu Li had been in isolated cultivation for half a year. His skills had actually doubled. He was truly a genius. If this continued, he would soon surpass everyone else and become the top master in the Holy Church of Light, only inferior to her.
Chu Li laughed and glided down the bed.
He suddenly noticed that Sun Mingyue was not in a good mood. He smiled. "Did something happen?"
Sun Mingyue had always been as calm as still water. Even when something big happened, her emotions would not fluctuate. She could be said to be unfathomable. However, at this moment, she was showing a gloomy aura, which was very unusual.
"Mm, something happened," Sun Mingyue said.
She turned around and said, "Follow me to the basilica to discuss matters."
Chu Li followed her out of the formation and left the crystal-like peak. They arrived at the Divine Light Basilica.
There were three men standing in the basilica. One was Fang Qingyang, another was a middle-aged man, and the last was an old man with a withered face.
