He did not want to get into trouble, so he did not say a word and could not wait to leave.
However, if he really left, he would run into them and suffer their wrath, so he kept his mouth shut and looked at the pillar beside him as if it was carved with a beautiful flower that was worth studying.
Sun Mingyue said, "As expected of the Prophecy Pavilion, I underestimated them!"
Chu Li secretly sighed in relief and quickly asked, "Did the Priests not go well?"
"Priest Cheng is dead." Sun Mingyue said calmly, but her beautiful eyes were shining. "Priest Lu is seriously injured, and the Asuras lost control and fled!"
Chu Li was shocked.
Once the Asuras lost control, it would be a big problem, and many innocent people would be killed.
He looked at Sun Mingyue with dissatisfaction. "How could this happen? Although the Prophecy Pavilion is strong, it should not be this bad."
Sun Mingyue said, "The Prophecy Pavilion set up an ambush, and they were caught off guard."
Chu Li clapped his hands and shook his head. "The pavilion leader of the Prophecy Pavilion must have foreseen this disaster and overcome it in advance. As expected of the pavilion leader of the Prophecy Pavilion, he's amazing!"
He had always been wary of the Pavilion Leader of the Prophecy Pavilion and felt that he was no ordinary person. Now, it seemed that he had underestimated the Pavilion Leader. The Pavilion Leader had actually predicted the Holy Church of Light's move and eliminated the Asuras, the most important force, ahead of time.
Asuras with a leader were terrifying, but without a leader, the Asuras could not cooperate and could not unite as a force, so their power was too weak.
Sun Mingyue glared at him coldly.
Chu Li said, "Saint, I'll take action!"
"You —?!" Sun Mingyue gave him a sidelong glance. "You want to turn the tide?"
Chu Li shook his head. "It's impossible. I'm only a Branch Leader, and I'm young and inexperienced. I can't convince the others, and no one will listen to me! … I want to act alone and kill another elder of the Prophecy Pavilion to weaken their power. "
"Do you think the elders of the Prophecy Pavilion are idle, and you can kill them whenever you want?" Sun Mingyue scoffed.
Chu Li smiled. "Didn't I already kill one? It's chaotic now, and it's easier to fish in troubled waters. "
Sun Mingyue stared at him for a moment, pondered for a moment, and slowly nodded. "Alright, as you wish."
Chu Li asked, "Saint, if I kill another Elder this time, will I be able to become a Priest?"
"… I can make a suggestion. As long as they agree, it won't be a problem," Sun Mingyue said solemnly.
She was really annoyed now.
The loss this time was too great. Two of the Four Great Priests were gone, which was a heavy blow to the Holy Church of Light. Although the Holy Church of Light's vitality was not damaged, the loss was indeed heavy, and the key was Asura.
For the sake of obtaining these Asuras, she had spent a great deal of effort to turn them into trump cards that possessed boundless power. She never would have thought that they would be destroyed in an instant.
With two Priests gone, the position of Priest could not remain empty. Chu Li had killed two elders of the Pavilion of Prophecy to avenge the Priest, so logically speaking, he was indeed qualified to assume the position of Priest.
Moreover, his cultivation was extremely high, far surpassing the four Law Protector Kings.
Chu Li replied excitedly, "Alright, I'll make a move immediately!"
"Be careful, don't throw your life away!"
"Of course!" Chu Li closed fist saluted and turned to leave.
Du Ying stood at the side and listened, watching him leave worriedly.
Sun Mingyue glanced at Du Ying and shook her head, not saying a word.
—
Chu Li once again appeared in the Pavilion of Prophecy, feeling the atmosphere.
Dusk surged and engulfed the Pavilion of Prophecy. The lanterns were first lit, and the light dispelled the twilight. The Pavilion of Prophecy was brightly lit, as if it was daytime. Every place was illuminated by lanterns. It was truly luxurious.
However, the atmosphere in the Pavilion of Prophecy was much more tense.
He directly appeared in the Pavilion of Prophecy with Zhao Dahe's appearance, then silently came to Lu Xi's courtyard, standing motionless in the shadow of the corner.
His force was completely concealed, so no one could detect him. In addition, he had cultivated the Heavenly Heart Technique to the ninth level, so there were very few people in the Pavilion of Prophecy who could detect him.
Lu Xi was practicing his fist technique in the small courtyard. His eyebrows were all white, and his face was rosy like a baby's. This was because he was very good at maintaining his health and focused on exercising his muscles and bones.
Chu Li hid outside his courtyard, thinking of a solution. How could he get rid of him without alerting others?
A moment later, he took out a white jade bottle from his bosom and lightly tossed it onto the stone table in the courtyard without making a sound.
Lu Xi, who was practicing his fist technique, frowned. He vaguely felt something strange.
He turned his head and glanced at the stone table. He saw the white jade bottle, so he walked forward and stared at it warily. He reached out to pick it up and shook it. He could hear that it was a pill.
He looked around strangely, but did not notice Chu Li.
He opened the white jade bottle to see what was inside. His intuition did not detect any danger, so it should not be poison.
After seeing the pill in the bottle, his eyes widened, and his breathing became heavy. He hurriedly poured out a pill and held it in his palm. The snow-white, flawless pill shone with a warm luster under the light, as if it was carved out of white jade.
He recognized what pill it was at a glance — the Sky Soaring Pill!
He stared at the Sky Soaring Pill, unable to move his eyes away.
He was now missing a Sky Soaring Pill. He was one breath away from advancing a step further.
The way Chu Li ate the Sky Soaring Pill, a few or even a dozen in one go, his resistance to the pill grew stronger. For people like them who took the pill once every twenty years, their resistance to the pill was extremely low.
Before two hundred years old, one Sky Soaring Pill every ten years. After two hundred years, one Sky Soaring Pill every twenty years. This was the rule of the Prophecy Pavilion. The pavilion leader was no exception. Therefore, although the elders had complaints, they dared not say anything.
The elders longed for the Sky Soaring Pill more than the disciples. They wanted to snatch it, but they dared not do so because of the pavilion leader.
Lu Xi's Heavenly Heart Technique had not reached the ninth level, but he felt that he was getting closer and closer to it. If he had a Sky Soaring Pill and comprehended the Star Chart, he might be able to step into the ninth level in one go and truly obtain freedom.
However, the next Sky Soaring Pill would take ten years. When he thought about the hope of stepping into the ninth level of the Heavenly Heart Technique ten years later, he became anxious. He thought about it day and night until he became a demon. Therefore, when he saw the Sky Soaring Pill, his eyes could not help but light up. He instantly fell into a fantasy and lost control of his mind.
"Swoosh swoosh!" Chu Li appeared behind him in a flash and attacked with two blades.
Lu Xi hurriedly dodged sideways. At the crucial moment, his intuition woke him up and he avoided being hit in the heart.
Chu Li had come into contact with him before. With the support of the Manifestation of Nature Restoration and the Heavenly Heart Technique, his predictions became more accurate. He waved his hands continuously and shot out four flying blades in one go. He only managed to dodge two of them, but the other two that followed hit him.
Lu Xi's movements became sluggish. Chu Li's Divine Light Fist arrived.
Following that, two more flying blades pierced through his head. He was dead.
His movements were extremely fast and completed in an instant. It was so fast that Lu Xi could not react in time.
"Confrontation!" Suddenly, a shout rang out.
Chu Li's ears exploded. Everything in front of him shook violently.
"Army!" Another shout rang out.
Chu Li felt as if he was struck by lightning. His whole body trembled uncontrollably.
"Fighting!" The shout was like a sudden clap of thunder, shaking his mind until it went blank.
The four Buddhas and one demon chanted desperately. In the blink of an eye, his mind calmed down. However, he felt a pain in his chest. A violent force drilled into his body. The scene in front of him suddenly flashed forward. He found himself flying in the air.
