Great Light Peak, Divine Light Basilica.
In the early morning, the [Light Palace] was exceptionally bright. Tens of thousands of rays of golden light, thousands of strands of auspicious qi, like a celestial palace.
But for Sun Mingyue, there was nothing much to see. No matter how beautiful the scenery was, she could see it every day, so she didn't find it very amazing.
She paced back and forth in front of the desk with her hands behind her back, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Chu Li suddenly appeared.
Sun Mingyue turned to look at him and observed his expression. She frowned and asked, "Are you injured?"
Chu Li smiled bitterly.
Sun Mingyue smiled. "Did he fight with Tang Xu?"
"No." Chu Li shook his head and said, "I want to enter the Fu Dynasty's Forbidden Palace to steal a spirit herb. Do you think that's possible?"
"What do you think?" Sun Mingyue snorted. "Unless you can defeat Tang Xu."
Chu Li sighed and nodded.
Sun Mingyue said, "Even if we work together, we won't be able to break into the Great Fu Dynasty's forbidden palace. Just give up."
"I want Tang Kun's help," Chu Li said.
Sun Mingyue said, "He's not even afraid of death, how could he agree?"
"I have my ways," Chu Li said, "but it's not appropriate to let him go. I need your permission."
"I agree," Sun Mingyue said. "At most, he will continue to come and pester us."
Chu Li sighed and shook his head.
Once Tang Kun left safely, the disciples of the Holy Church of Light would inevitably start muttering among themselves. Could it be that the Saint was really interested in him? Or could it be that she was afraid of the Fu Dynasty, so she did not kill him?
Sun Mingyue said, "I can't care about that now. Take a look."
She took out a dossier and passed it to Chu Li.
Chu Li quickly scanned through the list and raised his head in surprise. "The Qiu Dynasty is sending troops again?"
"There should be no mistake." Sun Mingyue nodded and said, "I didn't expect them to mobilize their troops again. They have just fought a battle and are injured. Shouldn't they rest and recuperate? Aren't they afraid that the Zheng Dynasty will take the opportunity to attack?"
Chu Li nodded. "The Li Dynasty didn't offend the Qiu Dynasty in any way, did they?"
"A while ago, the Qiu Dynasty sent someone over to ask for the Sixth Prince's hand in marriage, wanting to marry the Fifth Princess of the Li Dynasty." Sun Mingyue scoffed and said, "They were rejected. Are they going to start a war because of this? This is ridiculous! "
Chu Li asked, "Could it be the Fu Dynasty?"
"What is Fu Dynasty trying to do?" Sun Mingyue frowned. "Once the war breaks out, the balance between the four nations will be broken immediately. The Ji Dynasty won't let go of such a good opportunity, and so will the Zheng Dynasty!"
As a result, the four countries would be in total chaos.
Chu Li said, "Perhaps the Fu Dynasty is trying to rebuild their prestige through this. This time, Tang Haotian was too careless and embarrassed himself. The Fu Dynasty's prestige has also been greatly damaged, so it's inevitable that they're worried about the instability of the Four Nations."
Sun Mingyue nodded thoughtfully before shaking her head. "This Tang Xu is really cold-blooded. For the sake of Fu Dynasty's dignity, he's brazenly stirring up chaos in the world. I wonder how many people will die!"
Chu Li smiled. "As the Emperor, I don't care about human lives."
With a thought, he suddenly executed the Heavenly Star Void Insight Art. He narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought, as if his soul had left the world.
Sun Mingyue saw that his expression was strange and didn't disturb him.
After a while, Chu Li looked at her, shook his head and sighed. "I can't! … There's something strange going on. You have to be careful. This battle is related to your tribulation, so it's best that you don't leave the Great Light Peak. "
Sun Mingyue said, "How can I not leave the Great Light Peak!"
Chu Li shook his head and said, "You'll be in danger once you leave the Great Light Peak!"
Sun Mingyue asked, "What kind of danger?"
Chu Li frowned and pondered for a while before finally shaking his head. "I can't divine it, but I have a feeling that you'll definitely face a tribulation. You must not be careless. You're about to become an Enlightened Master, and there are countless people who want your life. It's not just Tang Xu, there are others too!"
In less than a year, she would take over the position of Bishop of the Holy Church of Light and become the new Enlightened Master. Needless to say, the competition for the Enlightened Master's position was fierce. If anyone wanted to become an Enlightened Master, killing her would be the fastest way.
Therefore, Tang Xu was not the only one who wanted to kill her. The other sects of the Li Dynasty and even the other countries had the same idea. After all, Sun Mingyue was too smart and powerful. The Holy Church of Light had only become so strong under her leadership. If she really took over the Enlightened Master's position and became the Bishop of the Holy Church of Light, it would not be a blessing for the other countries.
"What should we do?" Sun Mingyue frowned. "We can't just watch the Li Dynasty and the Qiu Dynasty fight again, can we?"
Chu Li said, "You can't stop it, not even your master. If we can kill Tang Xu, there's still a glimmer of hope. If not, no one can stop it. Let's just go with the flow."
"No." Sun Mingyue shook her head.
Chu Li frowned and looked at her. "Don't mess around. Tang Xu is waiting for you to do this."
"I can't just watch them fight," Sun Mingyue said.
Chu Li burst into laughter. "Didn't the Li Dynasty and the Qiu Dynasty fight each other too?"
"That's different," Sun Mingyue said. "That was a small scale battle. It's not worth mentioning."
Chu Li said, "You're not the Bishop of the Holy Church of Light yet. It's not your turn to worry about this. It's better for you to cultivate and improve your cultivation level. You'll have more freedom after you become an Enlightened Master."
He shook his head and felt that being an Enlightened Master was too boring.
Sun Mingyue frowned and pondered.
Chu Li looked at her and said helplessly, "You should know if my divination is accurate. Don't treat it as child's play!"
"Alright, I'll be careful." Sun Mingyue nodded.
Chu Li took out a piece of paper. "Help me look for some spirit herbs."
Sun Mingyue took it and shook her head. "What pill are you going to refine during this period?"
"For cultivation," Chu Li said.
Sun Mingyue glanced at it and nodded. "Alright, since you've marked the location, it won't be difficult to find them. I'll give them to you in five days. They're still in Ten Despair Valley, right?"
Chu Li nodded, gave her a fist salute, and disappeared.
Sun Mingyue looked at the place where he left and pondered for a moment. Finally, she shook her head and waved for the girl in green to come in. She then ordered her to look for the spirit herbs.
—
Tang Kun sat beside a campfire and roasted two deer. The golden oil sizzled on the fire, and the aroma filled the air.
Tang Li squatted beside him and was slowly turning over the deer.
Chu Li suddenly appeared.
Tang Li turned and saw him. His face darkened and he glared at him coldly. "Chu Li, what else do you want!"
Chu Li smiled. "I want to make a deal with Your Royal Highness."
"What kind of deal?" Tang Kun smiled. "What kind of deal can a dying man like me make?"
Chu Li said, "I'm looking for a spirit herb from the Fu Dynasty's secret warehouse. I need Your Royal Highness' help."
"Spirit herb?" Tang Kun shook his head. "You know my status. I'm not qualified to get important spirit herbs."
Chu Li smiled. "It's just a very common spirit herb. It's easy for Your Royal Highness to get it."
"Oh?" Tang Kun looked at him in surprise. "What can I exchange for such a spirit herb?"
"Your Royal Highness' life." Chu Li smiled. "I'll spare Your Royal Highness this time. What do you think?"
"Is it really that easy?" Tang Kun smiled.
Chu Li nodded. "The Saint has agreed, so Your Royal Highness' life is saved. Congratulations, Your Royal Highness."
"… Alright, tell me what spirit herb it is," Tang Kun said.
Chu Li took out a piece of paper and passed it to him.
Tang Kun glanced at it and nodded. "Phoenix Flight Grass. I know about it. It's said to have the effect of curing eye diseases."
Chu Li smiled and nodded. "Your Royal Highness is very knowledgeable!"
There were very few people who knew about this spirit herb, and even fewer people who knew about its effects. Tang Kun could tell at a glance that it was really powerful and superior to him. It was a pity that such a person was born with a deficiency and could not achieve anything.
"I'll send it to the Holy Church of Light," Tang Kun said. "Is there any way to restrain it? So that it won't act shamelessly? "
