It was the corpse of a middle-aged man. He had never seen him before but he knew he was no ordinary person. Otherwise, the three of them would not have looked so gloomy and their eyes flashed with anger and murderous intent.
"Chu Li, this is He Xijian, Priest He." Sun Mingyue pointed at the corpse on the ground and the elder. "Lu Chenyu, Priest Lu."
She pointed at the bald middle-aged man. "Cheng Siyu, Priest Cheng."
She then pointed at Chu Li. "Zhao Dahe."
Fang Qingyang stared at He Xijian on the ground with a gloomy expression. He did not look at Chu Li.
Lu Chenyu and Cheng Siyu looked at Chu Li and nodded slowly.
They had heard of Zhao Dahe for a long time, but it was their first time meeting him. They did not think he was as ugly as the rumors said. Everyone was exaggerating, but upon closer inspection, he had a unique charm.
Chu Li fist saluted and looked at He Xijian's corpse. "Priest He, this …?"
"He has gone to Great Light Surpassing State," Sun Mingyue said.
Chu Li frowned. "There aren't many people in the world who can make a Priest enter Great Light Surpassing State, right?"
"Yes," Sun Mingyue said. "See if you recognize the martial art."
The white-haired and ruddy Lu Chenyu scoffed. "The Saint is making things difficult for Branch Leader Zhao."
They could not tell what kind of injury it was, and they did not think Chu Li could. Although they felt that Chu Li's cultivation level was not inferior to theirs, it could not make up for his lack of experience.
Sun Mingyue did not comment and gave Chu Li a look, indicating for him to take a look.
Chu Li fist saluted the three of them, then bowed to the corpse, and went forward to take a look.
He looked and said, "Nine Kills Palm, Prophecy Pavilion."
"It really is Nine Kills Palm?" Sun Mingyue scoffed.
Chu Li nodded. "Nine Kills Palm not only kills the body, but also the soul. Therefore, those who are killed by Nine Kills Palm can't be saved even if they have a spirit pill that can bring the dead back to life. Fortunately, Priest He reacted quickly and went to Great Light Surpassing State."
If one did not go to Great Light Surpassing State, those who were killed by Nine Kills Palm would not have a chance to reincarnate and would be completely destroyed. This was the viciousness of Prophecy Pavilion's martial art.
"Is it really the Nine Kill Palm?" Cheng Siyu, who had a shiny bald head and a solemn expression, said in surprise, "Little Zhao, you actually recognize the Nine Kill Palm?"
Chu Li nodded and said, "I've dealt with the Prophecy Pavilion a few times and suffered a few losses."
"Is the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries really so formidable?" Cheng Siyu said, "They were actually able to kill us!"
After ascending to the position of Guardian King, one could be said to be a rare master in the world. Even if they could not win, they could still escape, and it was very difficult for their lives to be in danger. He Xijian's death made them feel cold and angry.
"The strength of the Tianji Pavilion is comparable to the Eight Great Sects of the Fu Dynasty. Dharma King Cheng, do you think they are powerful or not?" Sun Mingyue said coldly.
Fang Qingyang gritted his teeth and sneered. "Saint, we must avenge this!"
"Of course!" Sun Mingyue nodded.
Lu Chenyu asked, "Saintess, how should we deal with them?"
Chu Li said, "I know where their lair is, but the disciples of the Divine Prophecy Pavilion have the Divination Skill, so they can seek fortune and avoid calamity. It's not easy to kill them, so setting up an ambush is useless."
"According to what you've said, Young Branch Leader Zhao, we can't deal with them?" Cheng Siyu asked.
Chu Li nodded slowly. "It's easy for them to kill us, but it's difficult for us to kill them!"
"Don't flatter others and diminish our own morale!" Fang Qingyang scoffed impatiently. "No matter how powerful they are, they're not from the Eight Sects. Besides, even the disciples of the Eight Sects aren't that difficult to kill!"
Lu Chenyu said, "Actually, it's not difficult. Since we know where their lair is, we can directly surround them and kill them as soon as they come out. The Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries doesn't have that many disciples, so I don't believe that we can't kill them if we mobilize all of our High Officials!"
"Mm, good idea, High Officials can come in handy at this time." Cheng Siyu touched his shiny head. "Soldiers are trained for a thousand days to be used in a single day. We usually keep them, but now is the time to mobilize!"
Fang Qingyang's expression changed slightly.
Chu Li said, "As far as I know, the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries and Stargazing Pavilion have a very close relationship. Once the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries is surrounded, Stargazing Pavilion will definitely not sit idly by!"
"In other words, once we deal with the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries, we'll have to deal with Stargazing Pavilion at the same time?" Lu Chenyu said coldly.
Chu Li nodded slowly. "That's why we have to be cautious. I think that once we make a move, we have to attack with the force of a thunderbolt and not give them a chance to catch their breath. Otherwise, if we involve Stargazing Pavilion, there'll be endless trouble!"
Everyone's expression was slightly solemn.
The Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries was already troublesome enough. If they were to involve Stargazing Pavilion, they would not be confident.
Stargazing Pavilion did not have many disciples, but they were one of the Eight Sects, which further demonstrated their prowess.
The disciples of Stargazing Pavilion were unfathomable and had wonderful foresight. They were invisible and impossible to guard against, so they did not want to offend them.
Sun Mingyue paced with her hands behind her back, deep in thought.
Chu Li stared at Sun Mingyue and said, "Saint, why don't you bear with it for now? A little impatience will spoil the great plan. It's better not to offend the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries for now."
Sun Mingyue glared at him.
She knew that Zhao Dahe was the one who wanted to deal with the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries the most, but he deliberately said those words to block her path of retreat!
Chu Li smiled awkwardly and avoided her gaze, looking as if he had been seen through.
"Why, does Young Branch Leader Zhao have a grudge against the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries?" Lu Chenyu asked.
Chu Li said, "To be honest, Priest Lu, I have a deep grudge against the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries. They actually spread rumors that I'm Chu Li from the Ji Dynasty and that I'm a traitor. If it weren't for the Saint's wisdom, I would have been killed by them."
"No wonder …" Lu Chenyu suddenly realized.
It was no wonder that Zhao Dahe was so familiar with the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries. It seemed that he wanted revenge, so he put in the effort to find out more about the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries than they did.
Sun Mingyue said, "I've already killed Chu Li with my own hands, so this rumor will fall apart on its own. However, the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries' Divination Skill can kill people invisibly. A few rumors can have an invisible effect, so we have to be careful. Once we want to deal with them, we have to do as Zhao Dahe said and destroy them in one fell swoop."
Chu Li said, "But I'm worried that they can predict that we're going to deal with them in large numbers and already have countermeasures."
"There's no need to predict, they should know," Sun Mingyue said. "Let's rely on our own strength. Priest Lu, Priest Cheng and Priest Lu will bring all the Asuras to the Fu Dynasty's Cloud Dream Mountain. Priest Fang, bring a few top-notch High Officials to support them."
"Yes." The three of them gave a fist salute and replied.
Chu Li's heart skipped a beat when he heard about the Asuras, but his expression remained stern as he said, "Saint, I want to do my part too!"
"You …?" Sun Mingyue frowned. "Go back first, don't get involved in this."
Chu Li frowned. "Saint!"
Sun Mingyue said, "You've lost your cool because you want to take revenge. You're the Branch Leader of Gale Branch, how can you not go back after so long? You should settle the matters in the branch first."
"… Yes." Chu Li's face turned pale as he gave a fist salute. "I'll go back now, goodbye!"
"Go." Sun Mingyue waved her hand.
Chu Li gave a fist salute to the three of them, then turned around and strode away, looking extremely angry.
The three of them found it funny. Zhao Dahe was too bold to give the Saint a hard time.
