Chu Li shook his head. "What's in it for us to work together? You should know that the Church of Divine Blood is one of the eight major sects. We'll vanish if they move a finger! "
"You're too humble. The Holy Church of Light isn't that weak!" Li Xinghe shook his head. "If you're that weak, why would I work with you?"
Chu Li said, "No matter what, the Stargazing Pavilion isn't afraid of the Church of Divine Blood, but the Holy Church of Light isn't. It's best not to provoke them!"
"You have no other choice now. You can either be eliminated by the Church of Divine Blood or work with us and risk your lives." Li Xinghe shook his head. "You can only choose one. The Church of Divine Blood has their eyes on you. You can't escape."
Chu Li said, "Their target is the Stargazing Pavilion. We'll be able to escape if we cut ties with you. After all, the Holy Church of Light isn't a pushover. They'll lose a few teeth even if they want to swallow us, which will give you an opportunity. Moreover, the Church of Divine Blood has many enemies. They won't let go of the chance to kick you when you're down. That's why they have their concerns!"
"The Church of Divine Blood is bloodthirsty like wolves," Li Xinghe said. "Do you think they'll weigh the pros and cons? They wouldn't be the Church of Divine Blood if that's the case. They're impulsive and hot-headed. They won't care about these things. They'll eliminate you first! "
Chu Li said, "Young Master Li, your so-called cooperation is just for us to be the vanguard to wear them down."
"What's wrong with that?" Li Xinghe said, "Do you think you can stop fighting the Church of Divine Blood if you don't cooperate with us? Since they're targeting the Holy Church of Light, they won't stop until they eliminate the Church of Light! "
Chu Li frowned at him. "You're exaggerating!"
"You should know if I'm exaggerating," Li Xinghe said.
Chu Li shook his head. "Forget it. I'm only a Priest, not the Saint. These words are useless to me. You can look for the Saint."
Li Xinghe said, "Pass these words to the Saint. Let her think about it. I'll look for the Saint later."
"How can we cooperate if she agrees?" Chu Li asked.
Li Xinghe said, "We can predict their movements. If we inform you in time, we might even be able to lend you a hand."
Chu Li frowned. "Why don't the Stargazing Pavilion attack directly if you can predict their actions?"
"You should understand," Li Xinghe said with a faint smile.
Chu Li scoffed. "You have the threat of the seven major sects, but we also have the threat of the three major sects."
"That's why we'll each carry out our duties. You'll be responsible for the experts of the Divine Blood Church in the Li Dynasty, and we'll be responsible for those in the Fu Dynasty," Li Xinghe said.
No matter how powerful the Holy Church of Light was, they would become public enemies if they entered the Fu Dynasty, so they could not enter the Fu Dynasty.
Chu Li replied, "I'll report this to the Saint."
"Then I wish us a happy cooperation." Li Xinghe cupped his fists and said with a smile, "Let me remind you that they will be able to pursue you."
Chu Li smiled faintly.
Li Xinghe said, "The Divine Blood Church has a secret technique called the Snow Seeking Plum Blossom Treading Technique that allows them to track their opponents through their blood essence. You won't be able to shake them off if you fight them, and they will definitely catch up to you. That's why the Divine Blood Church is so terrifying."
"Alright, I understand," Chu Li said calmly. "I'd like to see what they're capable of."
"You can't beat them. Just run for your life," said Li Xinghe. Then, he cupped his fists and disappeared into the depths of the forest.
Chu Li frowned as he pondered over Li Xinghe's words.
To them, the Holy Church of Light was only a slightly powerful sect. They would not take them seriously at all. Were they really sincere in cooperating with the Holy Church of Light?
As for the Snow Seeking Plum Blossom Treading Technique from the Divine Blood Church, he did not care. By the time they caught up to him, he would already be at the Divine Light Basilica.
As soon as he thought about it, he glided away and activated the Heavenly Heart Technique, increasing his speed.
The ninth level of the Heavenly Heart Technique was rich and pure, allowing him to recover extremely quickly. It was enough for him to use his Light-body Technique. As long as his body could take it, he could continue running without rest.
The six masters from the Divine Blood Church were hot on his trail. In the end, Chu Li did not stop to rest. He did not eat, drink, or sleep. He ran all the way back to the Great Light Peak and arrived at the Divine Light Basilica.
—
The Divine Light Basilica was as warm as spring.
The midday sun shone outside the basilica, making the interior of the basilica bright and gentle.
Sun Mingyue had taken off her white veil, revealing her beautiful face. She was pressing on the long desk and frowning as she stared at him. "Cooperate with the Stargazing Pavilion?"
Chu Li nodded. "That's what Li Xinghe suggested."
"What do you think?" Sun Mingyue furrowed her brows and asked thoughtfully.
Chu Li avoided the topic and said, "We'll have to teach them a lesson first and make them retreat. Otherwise, we'll be in endless trouble if they don't let it go."
"The Church of the Divine Blood …"
Sun Mingyue's beautiful face was like a flawless white jade. She stood up and left the armchair. She walked to the long desk and paced back and forth with her hands behind her back. She was deep in thought.
Chu Li stared at her beautiful face and guessed that she would eventually agree. She was unwilling to be left out.
After pacing back and forth with her hands behind her back, Sun Mingyue suddenly stopped and stared at him. She slowly said, "Zhao Dahe, you're a Priest now. Do you think we should cooperate?"
Chu Li slowly said, "There's no other choice. We can only cooperate with the Stargazing Pavilion. Otherwise, the Holy Church of Light will be doomed."
"Let's hurt the Church of the Divine Blood first so that they'll have second thoughts. Isn't that safer?" Sun Mingyue said.
Chu Li shook his head. "It'll be safer for other sects to do this, but the Church of the Divine Blood is different. They don't take us seriously. They see us as fat sheep and wolves. They won't let us go."
"Would they dare to ignore the threat from the other seven sects and fight us to the death?" Sun Mingyue asked.
Chu Li knew that she was testing him, so he put in more effort. "The Church of the Divine Blood thinks that we're not worth mentioning. If we offend them, they'll feel that their dignity has been violated. They'll definitely fight us to the death!"
"We're powerful enough. Will they still fight us?"
"They will."
"Are they really not afraid of the seven sects?"
"These people are crazy. Even if we severely injure them, the other seven sects might not dare to attack us." Chu Li said, "They usually use the Blood God's Disintegration Technique that destroys indiscriminately. It's so powerful that it's almost impossible to escape. Therefore, they're like trapped beasts. Once provoked, they'll perish together. The seven sects will be wary of the other six sects and won't dare to act recklessly."
"If that's the case, no one dares to provoke the Church of the Divine Blood?"
"No one wants to provoke a lunatic." Chu Li said, "Otherwise, the Stargazing Pavilion won't cooperate with us. The eight sects of the Fu Dynasty and the martial arts world have never taken the Holy Church seriously."
Sun Mingyue said, "If that's the case, we can only cooperate."
Chu Li sighed and nodded helplessly. "We have no other choice."
"Alright, we'll cooperate!" Sun Mingyue said.
Chu Li smiled.
His words were exactly what she wanted. She had already made up her mind.
