Chu Li did not say anything when he saw that she did not look well.
Sun Mingyue could not tolerate being criticized, so it was better to keep her mouth shut.
He had a bad feeling about this.
If the Stargazing Pavilion disciples came to question him, there would still be room for negotiation. However, they took the corpses away and did not come to Great Light Peak at all. It was obvious that they had made up their mind to fight and not waste their time.
There was no point in saying anything else as Sun Mingyue would only be more annoyed. He fist saluted and turned to leave.
"What do you think we should do?" Sun Mingyue suddenly asked.
Chu Li stopped and turned to look at her. "It's up to you, Saint!"
"Less? Gather? Govern Xi Duan?
The barbarians are wounded in the wilderness? Lie? "
Chu Li's act of sacrificing himself to protect her had earned her trust. In addition to his high cultivation level, he held a different position in her heart.
Most importantly, at this critical juncture, she wanted to hear the opinions of others as a reference.
Chu Li said, "In my opinion, we should strike first and take care of Stargazing Pavilion before they attack!"
"Stupid idea! That's suicidal! "Sun Mingyue scoffed.
Chu Li smiled. "Saint doesn't want to fight and I think Stargazing Pavilion doesn't either. They're afraid of both sides and don't want to fight either."
"And then?"
"Then we'll find a way out and leave room for negotiation."
"Just tell me what to do, don't beat around the bush!"
"I'll go to Stargazing Pavilion and tell them that the person who killed their disciples is the bishop of the Divine Church of Asura. He has broken free from the Saint's control and wants the two sects to fight each other. He disappeared after killing the disciples and asked Stargazing Pavilion to help track him down. The truth will be revealed once they catch him!"
"The bishop of the Divine Church of Asura …" Sun Mingyue nodded slowly. "That's a good idea."
Asura was connected to the Outland, so it was difficult for Stargazing Pavilion and Prophecy Pavilion to predict their actions. That was why Lu Chenyu led Asura to attack Prophecy Pavilion but failed.
The root of the failure was that Prophecy Pavilion could not predict Asura but Lu Chenyu.
It was most suitable for Zhao Dahe to lead this group of Asura.
Chu Li's Heavenly Heart Technique was very profound and Prophecy Pavilion could not predict his actions. Thus, nobody knew that he was leading Asura.
Chu Li said, "Saint, I think he might really be the one behind this!"
"Hmm." Sun Mingyue's face darkened and she snorted coldly. "This guy is unpredictable. He's capable of doing this!"
She was infuriated at the thought of the Asura Divine Cult Leader. She had never suffered such a great loss before. She had been deceived and betrayed him at the crucial moment.
"This move is like hitting a snake where it hurts. It's the most vicious one. I don't think the leaders of the other three sects would dare to do this," Chu Li said. "Only a lunatic like him would do something like this!"
"But you have to be careful about who you choose to go to the Stargazing Pavilion." Sun Mingyue sized him up, her bright eyes flashing with brilliant colors.
This was a dangerous mission.
Even if the Stargazing Pavilion accepted this explanation, it did not mean that they would not kill them. They were arrogant and did not treat anyone outside of the Fu Dynasty as human beings. They might even kill the messenger to establish their authority and vent their anger.
Chu Li said, "Saint, give me the position of Priest. I'll go there myself!"
"Guardian King!" Sun Mingyue glared at him in annoyance. "You're willing to throw away your life for the position of Guardian King!"
Chu Li smiled. "Fortune comes from danger. I won't let go of such a good opportunity!"
"If you can return safely, you'll be a Priest!" Sun Mingyue said.
Chu Li shook his head. "I want to be a Priest first before going to the Stargazing Pavilion. Even if I die, I'll die as a Priest!"
"You'll have to wait for Priest Lu and Priest Fang to return," Sun Mingyue said.
Chu Li said, "Then we'll wait for them to return."
"… Alright, I'll do as you say!" Sun Mingyue scoffed.

"Zhao Dahe will become a Priest? No! " Lu Chenyu was shocked and shook his head. "He's too young and his qualifications are not convincing. If we really announce it, I'm afraid that the Holy Church of Light won't be convinced. We can't break the rules."
The Divine Light Basilica was dazzling. The morning sunlight was reflected by the ice peak outside, making it even brighter.
Lu Chenyu's face was ruddy. His injuries were almost healed.
Fang Qingyang stood at the side with a gloomy face and looked at Chu Li.
He knew that Zhao Dahe would become a Priest one day. Cultivation was the foundation of a Priest. With a strong enough cultivation, it would not be difficult for him to make contributions, but he did not expect it to be so soon.
"With Zhao Dahe's contributions, it's more than enough for him to become a Priest," Sun Mingyue said calmly. "I just wanted to train him because of his personality, but things are different now. Priest Cheng and Priest He have ascended to the Great Light Surpassing State. The position of Priest can't be left empty. It needs someone with sufficient cultivation, and he's the most suitable."
"Saint, Young Zhao is too young!" Lu Chenyu sighed.
He could not help but feel sad when he thought of the two fallen Great Priests. They had been friends for decades. It was a pity that they had ascended to the Great Light Surpassing State so early.
He looked at Fang Qingyang who was in a daze. "Young Fang, what do you think?"
"Elder Lu, I'm sorry." Fang Qingyang fist saluted and said seriously, "Branch Leader Zhao has a profound cultivation level. I'm far inferior to you. You've also made great contributions. I have no doubts about becoming a Priest!"
"Young Fang, you —?!" Lu Chenyu stared at him in shock.
He had thought that Fang Qingyang would not agree. After all, Chu Li was younger than Fang Qingyang and had less experience. He had only been in the church for about two years.
Fang Qingyang said, "We need a more powerful master to become a Priest to stabilize the people's hearts. Otherwise, we'll be weak without deterrence. The other three sects will inevitably covet us and become restless. That will be troublesome!"
Sun Mingyue slowly said, "The Priest's words make sense. Priest Lu, you should know how serious the situation is now!"
"Sigh … I'm old. It's time for me to enter the hermit peaks." Lu Chenyu sighed.
Sun Mingyue's face darkened. "Priest Lu, what do you mean by that!"
Lu Chenyu shook his head. "Don't worry, Saint. I won't quit now. We'll talk about it after this."
Sun Mingyue scoffed. "You're not even a hundred years old. Priest Lu, don't even think about getting some peace!"
Lu Chenyu smiled bitterly and nodded.
Sun Mingyue turned to look at Chu Li. "Alright, you're a Priest now!"
Chu Li smiled and fist saluted. "Thank you, Saint. Thank you, Priests!"
Fang Qingyang nodded without saying a word.
Lu Chenyu said, "Young Zhao, since you've become a Priest, we're of the same rank. Just call me Elder Lu. I'm in charge of the Fu Dynasty while Young Fang is in charge of the Ji Dynasty."
Sun Mingyue frowned. "Zhao Dahe, you'll be in charge of the Qiu Dynasty."
Chu Li fist saluted. "Yes!"
Sun Mingyue said, "A Priest's position is aloof. He's not in charge of the specific matters. The Altar Leader will handle the specific matters. A Priest is in charge of supervision, deterrence, and patching up mistakes."
Chu Li nodded slowly. "I'll head to the Stargazing Pavilion then."
"Remember, run when you need to," Sun Mingyue said.
Chu Li smiled and nodded. "I've just become a Priest. I value my life very much. Don't worry, Saint."
He fist saluted Lu Chenyu and Fang Qingyang before turning and striding out of the Divine Light Basilica.
"Saint, Young Zhao is …?" Lu Chenyu asked.
Sun Mingyue said, "He's going to the Stargazing Pavilion to explain himself."
Lu Chenyu's expression changed. "Isn't that suicide?"
He had the most dealings with the martial arts world of the Fu Dynasty. He knew the eight major sects of the Fu Dynasty very well. They were arrogant and did not care about the martial arts world of the Li Dynasty at all. They felt that they were all country bumpkins who could not withstand a single blow and were not worth mentioning. If they were not convinced, they could just kill them without wasting their breath.
The disciples of the Stargazing Pavilion had died in the Li Dynasty. The Stargazing Pavilion must be furious and eager to deal with the Holy Church of Light. If they went there now, it would be no different from suicide.
