The authority to make decisions on the spot was extremely powerful and was usually not given to others. Even a Priest would not do so.
Sun Mingyue was infuriated by this incident and she had disturbed Chu Li's Isolated Cultivation. Feeling apologetic, she finally agreed to let Chu Li handle the matter and she would not interfere in it.
Chu Li fist saluted. "I'll leave for Falling Autumn City immediately!"
"The sooner the better." Sun Mingyue scoffed. "If it's clear …"
Chu Li nodded and turned to look at Shi Zonggu.
Shi Zonggu said, "Priest Zhao, I'll go with you."
Chu Li shook his head. "I'll go first, you can come after me!"
He nodded at Du Ying and left the Divine Light Basilica. His figure disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Shi Zonggu cursed in his heart but did not show it on his face. He fist saluted Sun Mingyue. "Saint, I'll take my leave now. I'll go after Priest Zhao. Falling Autumn City is very tense now. I'm afraid that they won't cooperate after Priest Zhao goes there."
Sun Mingyue said, "Altar Leader Shi, keep your thoughts to yourself. You should know the severity of this matter. If you delay the progress, don't blame the church for being merciless!"
"Yes." Shi Zonggu's expression tensed up. "I'll do my best to cooperate with Priest Zhao."
"That's good. I hope you're not being perfunctory!" Sun Mingyue scoffed and waved her hand. "Go!"
Shi Zonggu bowed deeply and left with large strides.
His heart shivered. The Saintess's eyes were like a torch. His little thoughts couldn't be hidden from her at all!
He desperately used his Light-body Technique to chase after him. He did not believe that the young man who had only cultivated for two to three years could be stronger than him. Even if he was, he could not be much stronger. He was famous for his divine movement and was an expert in Light-body Technique. He could reach Falling Autumn City in a day!
He did not stop rushing. He wanted to reach Falling Autumn City in advance. He wanted to see if Zhao Dahe had the cheek to put on airs as a Priest in front of him. He was so arrogant at such a young age!
He was extremely dissatisfied with Chu Li. He felt that Chu Li did not respect him as an Altar Leader and was too arrogant.

When Chu Li arrived at Falling Autumn City, he saw thirty corpses encased in ice. The entire Falling Autumn City branch was enveloped in ice, and only five disciples of the Holy Church of Light stood guard outside listlessly.
Before Chu Li arrived at the branch, the Omniscient Mirror had already seen the injuries clearly from afar. Thus, he quietly entered and checked each of them with his hand. In the end, his face darkened and he left without saying a word.
He appeared soundlessly in a restaurant in Falling Autumn City and stood outside the door of a room on the top floor, which was the fourth floor.
He stood in the gorgeous corridor and knocked on the door.
"Come in." A graceful voice came from the room.
Chu Li pushed the door open and entered. He gave a fist salute to the beautiful woman who was lying on the couch. "Greetings, Senior Bai."
Bai Feng from the Tian Luo Sect was dressed in a white robe as she reclined lazily on the couch. She held a book in her hand as she looked at them lazily. A smile appeared on her exquisite and beautiful face. "Oh, it's Priest Zhao who has graced us with his presence. Your presence brings light to our humble dwelling!"
She put down the book and stood up gracefully. "Please, take a seat."
She walked to an embroidered stool and sat down gracefully. Chu Li sat on another embroidered stool as well. The two of them were only two steps apart.
Bai Feng took the opportunity to pour him a cup of tea from the teapot on the short table and handed it to him. "Why are you here? It's rare to see a Priest."
Her bright eyes glowed as she sized Chu Li up. It was truly hard for her to believe that Zhao Dahe had become a Priest in such a short period of time. This was the first time such a thing had happened in the Holy Church of Light. He was the person who had risen the fastest in the Holy Church of Light in thousands of years.
She knew very well how difficult it was to be promoted to the position of a Priest. Although it was due to the sudden death of two Priests that he had the opportunity to become a Priest so quickly, the position of a Priest in the Holy Church of Light was one that they would rather not have. Currently, there was still an empty position of a Priest because none of the followers below him could fulfill the requirements.
Chu Li gave a fist salute and said, "Senior Bai, you don't have to tease me. I was just lucky."
"Lucky!" Bai Feng laughed and shook her head. "A Branch Leader can be lucky, but not a Priest. What brings you here today?"
"It's about the Falling Autumn City branch," Chu Li said seriously. "The Saint suspects that the incident with the Radiance Clan has happened again. It's possible that your sect has joined forces with the other two sects."
The smile on Bai Feng's beautiful face disappeared and she frowned slightly.
Chu Li said, "The Holy Church of Light seems to have suffered a great loss after losing two Priests in the battle with the Prophecy Pavilion. This is a great opportunity to weaken the Holy Church of Light. It's a great temptation!"
Bai Feng shook her head. "We didn't do it."
"Tian Luo Sect didn't participate in it?"
"Absolutely not." Bai Feng shook her head. "I would've known if they did and I wouldn't have done it. This is Falling Autumn City. Wouldn't we be a laughing stock in front of the Qiu Dynasty?"
Chu Li sighed. "Tian Luo Sect thinks so, but White Tiger Sect might not. There's also Flaming Sun Sect …"
He shook his head. He felt that Bai Feng was telling the truth. Tian Luo Sect did not participate in it.
"Has Miss Yue Ru come out of seclusion?" He changed the topic.
Bai Feng smiled. "She's returned to Gale City."
Chu Li said, "Gale City is more suitable for Miss Yue Ru."
"You can visit her if you're free," Bai Feng said. "She's quite accomplished in martial arts now."
Chu Li nodded.
Bai Feng muttered, "Priest Zhao, I don't think White Tiger Sect and Flaming Sun Sect are involved in this because it's unnecessary. No matter how weak the Holy Church of Light is, it's impossible for them to replace the Holy Church of Light as the strongest of the four sects."
Chu Li smiled. "Senior Bai, you might think that way, but unfortunately, White Tiger Sect and Flaming Sun Sect don't think so."
"How about this, I'll invite them over to meet you," Bai Feng said.
Chu Li fist saluted. "Thank you, Senior."
Bai Feng pursed her lips and smiled. "It's nothing. There's no need to thank me."
Chu Li smiled and said nothing else. This was not a simple matter. It was a clear statement that Tian Luo Sect would stand on the Holy Church of Light's side.
He had first come to meet Bai Feng and reminisce about their old friendship. He had told her frankly and subtly pressured her so that he could achieve this goal. He wanted to rope in the Tian Luo Sect so that the White Tiger Sect and the Flaming Sun Sect would not be able to cause any more trouble. In the future, the internal strife would also be quelled.
"Someone!" Bai Feng raised her voice.
A delicate and pretty maid entered and stood by her side.
Bai Feng gave her a few instructions. The maid responded crisply and gracefully left.
Chu Li and Bai Feng talked about the battle between the Holy Church of Light and Prophecy Pavilion. Before they could finish their tea, footsteps and laughter could be heard from outside.
"This is the first time we've been invited by Fairy Bai. We're flattered, haha …"
Amidst the laughter, two rough-looking men pushed the door open and strode in with big smiles on their faces.
Bai Feng sat on a garden stool and fist saluted. "Clan Leader Zhang, Clan Leader Liang, let me introduce you to an important person."
Both of them stared at Chu Li.
Chu Li slowly stood up and fist saluted. He calmly said, "I'm Zhao Dahe. Nice to meet you."
"Zhao Dahe!" Their expressions changed.
