Sun Mingyue shook her head. "He's too bold and shouldn't make any more contributions. I'm planning to suppress him and temper him. With his current temper, it's not suitable for him to ascend to a high position."
"Hmm, that's true. He's too young." Lu Chenyu nodded slowly and glanced at Fang Qingyang. "His temperament is different from Xiao Fang's."
Fang Qingyang said, "Zhao Dahe's indeed bad-tempered and condescending. He doesn't respect anyone but the Saint. The three of us are the same."
"We really need to temper him," Lu Chenyu said.
Cheng Siyu said, "Saint, once Asura enters the Fu Dynasty, there'll be huge repercussions."
Sun Mingyue said calmly, "The Pavilion of Heavenly Prophecy can predict the workings of the heavens, but the Asuras are beings from the Outer Heavens, so we can't hide from them. You guys lay in ambush at the side and wait for the High Officials to make their move.
"Yes!" Lu Chenyu and Cheng Siyu gave a fist salute.
Sun Mingyue waved her hand. "Go."
The two turned and left.
Sun Mingyue looked at Fang Qingyang and said, "You look hesitant. Is it because of Li Hanyan?"
"Saint …" Fang Qingyang could not open his mouth.
He knew he was too selfish but this matter was too dangerous. If Li Hanyan were to make a move, he would be on tenterhooks.
"You do as you see fit," Sun Mingyue said.
"… Yes." Fang Qingyang showed a bitter expression. He gave a fist salute and left the Divine Light Basilica with heavy steps. His heart felt heavy as if a rock had fallen on him.
He came to the steps in front of the basilica and looked up at the blue sky. After a long time, he sighed and stomped his feet. He clenched his teeth and left the basilica.
Chu Li returned to Gale Branch in a flash.
He first dealt with the chores. Kou Qiong and the other two had handled everything well so he did not have to worry about them. Thus, his absence did not affect the operation of Gale Branch.
After he returned to his courtyard, he suddenly disappeared and reappeared at the foot of the Cloud Dream Mountain. He transformed into Xu Fu and floated into the Prophecy Pavilion. He did not want to expose his ability to change his appearance by the sea.
He came back to find a chance to obtain Star Stones so that he could not go in and out of the Cloud Dream Mountain when the people from the Holy Church of Light surrounded it.
He scanned the area with the Omniscient Mirror. Other than a few basilicas that he could not see through, all the other courtyards appeared in his mind.
He looked at his courtyard. There was no one in sight and no ambush. He was a little surprised. Could it be that Liang Sheng had not exposed his crimes?
He thought about it and felt that it was highly possible. Perhaps he would just swallow his pride to avoid exposing their own shameful deeds.
Even though he didn't see any ambush, he didn't return to his own courtyard. Instead, he appeared in a nearby courtyard and sat at a stone table to observe the sound of the beam.
However, after scanning the Omniscient Mirror, he could not find Liang Sheng. It seemed like he was not in the Prophecy Pavilion.
Could it be that he went to the Stargazing Pavilion?
He looked at Song Wu and his expression changed.
He found that Song Wu's Kung Fu had been completely destroyed. She sat beside the stone table with a haggard face and stared at the foot of the wall absentmindedly. Her eyes were dim, and there was not a trace of high spirit and fighting spirit. She was like a walking corpse.
Chu Li glided over the top of the wall and landed in front of Song Wu. He called out, "Senior Sister Song!"
Song Wu slowly turned her head to look at him and stood up. "Junior Martial Brother Xu!"
Chu Li frowned. "Who destroyed your Kung Fu? Why?"
Song Wu looked at him with a complicated expression. "Junior Martial Brother Xu, are you a disciple of the Holy Church of Light?"
Chu Li was stunned and finally shook his head. "I'm not a disciple of the Holy Church of Light. At that time, Liang Sheng and Liang Wen set up a formation to kill me to avenge Tan Gu. I was unwilling to be captured, so we fought. At the crucial moment, a disciple of the Holy Church of Light appeared and killed Liang Wen."
"So you're not a disciple of the Holy Church of Light?"
"No," Chu Li said in a low voice.
This was not a lie. He was not a disciple of the Holy Church of Light. He was the chief of the Glory's Will Courtyard in the Ji Public House!
Song Wu's expression recovered a little. She said, "Now that Master's Junior Liang is framing you as a spy from the Holy Church of Light, you should quickly go to the Pavilion Leader to defend yourself so that Master's Junior Liang doesn't have a chance to attack!"
Chu Li nodded slowly.
"Heh, as expected of a couple. What a sweet scene!" With a sneer, Liang Sheng and another elder floated into the courtyard. The surrounding scenery suddenly changed and formed a formation.
Chu Li scoffed. No wonder the Omniscient Mirror could not see them. They had set up a formation to hide their figures.
He frowned and stared at the two of them. "Master's Junior Liang, I didn't expect you to be so despicable. You're framing me as a disciple of the Holy Church of Light!"
Liang Sheng stared at him with a gloomy expression. "Cunning boy, I really misjudged you!"
Chu Li said, "This has nothing to do with Senior Sister Song. Why did you vent your anger on her and cripple her Kung Fu? How you treat the younger disciples is really despicable. No wonder Tan Gu dared to steal other disciples' Sky Soaring Pills. It turns out that he learned it from you. What a nest of snakes and rats. It's sad that we have an elder like you in the Prophecy Pavilion! "
"Shut up!" Liang Sheng shouted. The veins on his neck bulged. He gritted his teeth and said coldly, "You have a sharp tongue. Go to hell!"
He struck with his palm.
Chu Li took a step to the side and avoided it. He continued, "The pavilion leader doesn't know that you're so arrogant. I must complain to the pavilion leader. You're an elder but you want to kill a younger disciple because of a nephew. I'm at the ninth level of the Heavenly Heart Technique. What about the other disciples?"
He turned to look at the other elder and said, "Master's Junior, are you in cahoots with him?!"
"You're really a smart boy." Lu Xi smiled. "You really have the ninth level of the Heavenly Heart Technique?"
"That's right!" Chu Li said, "Master's Junior, can't you tell?"
"Sigh … What a pity." Lu Xi shook his head. "You shouldn't have offended Elder Liang. I owe him a favor. I can only kill you."
"You're killing a genius like me just because of a favor? You don't care how much damage it will cause to the Prophecy Pavilion?" Chu Li frowned.
Lu Xi smiled. "The disciples of the Prophecy Pavilion are all geniuses. You won't make much of a difference. Especially someone like you, who disrespects your elders, can't be left alive. Little boy, you don't have to waste your breath. Just do it!"
Liang Sheng scoffed. "Elder Lu, don't be careless. This boy's cultivation level is high. He's pretending to be weak!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly shrunk his body and used his secret skill again. He became thin and short. He moved as fast as lightning and instantly struck at Chu Li, leaving him no time to dodge.
"Bam, bam, bam, bam …" Chu Li kept receiving the attack. There was no other way.
His surroundings had changed. It had turned into a forest. There was no courtyard, no walls, and no gate.
He wanted to break through the formation, so he used the Deva Shedding Technique. Just as he was about to escape, a palm energy hit his back.
"Bang!" He flew out like a stone thrown by a catapult. He crashed into a wall. The wall trembled and almost collapsed.
He felt his internal organs churn. It was as if he was being twisted by a knife. The pain was unbearable.
"Pfft!" He spat out a mouthful of black blood. His body seemed to be embedded into the wall, unable to move.
Energy surged in his body and continued to destroy it. It was as if someone was constantly pushing against him and exerting force.
