Chen Zhenji arrived at the foot of Goddess Attraction Mountain. Before the disciples of Goddess Attraction Mountain appeared, he raised his voice and shouted, "Chen Zhenji from the Qiu Dynasty greets Mountain Master Zhou!"
An Enlightened Master's shout could shake the earth and mountains.
The clouds of Goddess Attraction Mountain suddenly surged, and Dong Jianxin suddenly appeared in front of him. He gave a fist salute and said, "Your Majesty, I'm Dong Jianxin!"
"So it's Young Master Dong!" Chen Zhenji did not put on airs. He gave a fist salute and said, "I'd like to meet Mountain Master Zhou!"
"Master isn't here." Dong Jianxin looked troubled.
Chen Zhenji said, "I think you'll find a way to greet Mountain Master Zhou."
"… Alright." Dong Jianxin saw that he insisted on meeting Mountain Master, so he gave a fist salute and said, "Your Majesty, this way please!"
Two white cranes floated down. Dong Jianxin rode on one, and Chen Zhenji rode on it as well. The two cranes chirped and flew up into the sky. They arrived at a hall where the disciples of the mountain were.
"Please wait, Your Majesty. I'll inform Master and see if he can come over!" Dong Jianxin gave a fist salute and left.
Chen Zhenji sat in the armchair and looked at the portrait hanging on the north wall. He shook his head and sighed. He moved his gaze to the window and opened it to look at the scenery outside.
In fact, there was no scenery at all. There seemed to be only clouds outside the window that covered everything. He could not see how high he was or how big his surroundings were.
He shook his head and closed the window. He sat in the armchair and drank tea.
Halfway through his tea, he suddenly heard a dragon roar.
He floated out of the hall and looked up. He saw the golden dragon looming in the clouds. The golden light flashed and finally reached a height of 100 meters. Zhou Dunli floated down from the dragon's body and landed in front of Chen Zhenji without a sound.
Chen Zhenji's expression was solemn. He had experienced the might of the golden dragon before, but he was still shocked when he experienced it again. He was no match for this golden dragon, let alone competing with Zhou Dunli.
"Greetings, Mountain Master." Chen Zhenji gave a fist salute.
"Brother Chen, you've come from afar. Forgive me for not going out to greet you!" Zhou Dunli smiled and gave a fist salute.
Chen Zhenji sat down and gave a fist salute. He sighed and said, "I've lost all my dignity!"
Zhou Dunli smiled, "Why do you say that, Brother Chen?"
Chen Zhenji said, "I still have to congratulate the hill master for taking in such a fine disciple. As a Grandmaster, he was able to beat us up so badly that we were on the verge of collapse."
"Brother Chen is too kind. He just gave me some face and didn't argue with him." Zhou Dunli waved his hand and smiled, "Otherwise, he would have lost his life long ago!"
"Mountain Chieftain, you are mistaken." Chen Zhenji hurriedly said, "Hill Chieftain, you underestimate your own disciple too much. Even the Fu Dynasty's Emperor could only flee once he unleashed the Sky-Killing Sword, let alone us!"
"Heaven Killing Sword …" Zhou Dunli nodded.
He had long understood Chen Zhenji's intentions. He was here to complain.
As a dignified emperor, he actually came over to complain. It was like the methods of a child, truly laughable.
However, it directly hit Chu Li's weak spot. He was disregarding his dignity and was determined to punish Chu Li. It seemed like he had a deep hatred for Chu Li!
Chen Zhenji said, "His methods are even more brilliant. He plotted to get rid of the Grand Marshal, causing the morale of the Qiu Dynasty to plummet. Helpless, we had no choice but to stop the war with the Li Dynasty. He could easily stir up a war between two countries. I'm truly impressed by Chu Li's methods!"
Zhou Dunli smiled. "I don't think it was him who did it, right?"
"Who else could it be!" Chen Zhenji scoffed.
Zhou Dunli grinned and said, "Chu Li has no grudge against you. As a citizen of the Ji Dynasty, he can't wait for the Qiu Dynasty and the Li Dynasty to fight to the death so that the Ji Dynasty can have a chance to breathe. I'm afraid it was the Saint of the Holy Church of Light who did this, right?"
"If it wasn't for Chu Li's help, the Saint wouldn't be a threat to us no matter how powerful she is." Chen Zhenji scoffed.
"That can't be right." Zhou Dunli smiled. "Aren't you afraid of Miss Song?"
Chen Zhenji said, "It's not a big deal even if we fight!"
"Brother Chen, you can't defeat Miss Song," Zhou Dunli said.
Chen Zhenji scoffed. "Hill Master, we're talking about Chu Li!"
"Chu Li knows the rules of the mountain. Unless it's a matter of life and death, he won't violate the rules." Zhou Dunli shook his head and smiled. "Did he directly intervene in the war between the two countries?"
"He attacked Marshal Zhong!" Chen Zhenji said.
Zhou Dunli asked, "Did it affect the war between the two countries?"
"Of course!" Chen Zhenji nodded.
Zhou Dunli frowned. "Brother Chen, do you mean that Chu Li should be punished?"
"It's up to the hill master to decide whether he should be punished or not!" Chen Zhenji said.
Zhou Dunli sighed. "Alright, I'll ask Chu Li about it. If it's true, I won't be lenient and punish him if he deserves it!"
"That's for the best!" Chen Zhenji smiled. "I believe that the hill master is a wise and just person. I won't disturb you anymore!"
Zhou Dunli smiled. "We haven't seen each other for a long time. It's rare for you to come to Goddess Attraction Mountain. Why don't you stay for a few days and see how I'm going to interrogate Chu Li?"
Chen Zhenji sighed. "Now that the people in the country are restless, I need to calm them down. I shouldn't stay for too long. I'll disturb you next time!"
"Alright, I won't keep Brother Chen any longer." Zhou Dunli smiled.
Chen Zhenji rode the white crane down the mountain. Zhou Dunli stood outside the basilica and seemed to be able to see him leave through the white fog.
Dong Jianxin came to Chen Zhenji's side and fist saluted. "Master, this man with the surname Chen must be up to no good, right?"
Zhou Dunli said, "He's here to make use of your junior brother's complaint, saying that he's involved in the war between the two countries."
Dong Jianxin's face darkened. He scoffed. "How shameless, isn't he?"
"There's no other way, I can only call your junior brother back." Zhou Dunli shook his head. "If no one is talking nonsense, I can turn a blind eye to it. Now that he's here, I can only follow the mountain rules!"
"… Yes." Dong Jianxin opened his mouth but knew that pleading was useless. He fist saluted. "I'll call my junior brother back."
"Okay, go." Zhou Dunli waved his hand.

Xiao Qi slowly opened her eyes. Her cold gaze flickered but eventually calmed down. The joy of advancing was swept away.
She stood up gracefully. Her gaze suddenly focused as she saw the jade pendant in the corner.
She took a step and walked ten meters away. She bent down to pick up the jade pendant with a complicated expression on her face. Finally, she sighed and put it in her arms. Her gaze fell on the transparent Sarira in her hand.
She placed the Sarira between her delicate snow-white eyebrows and activated the Regal Sword Scripture.
Suddenly, the Sarira shot out a golden light and shot between her eyebrows.
She trembled slightly and took a step back to her original position. Her body began to flash with golden light, and the shadow of an old monk appeared faintly behind her, looking at Xiao Qi coldly.
Xiao Qi was immersed in the artistic conception of the Ruthless Temple. Everything seemed to change. When her state of mind changed, everything changed, and the state changed according to her heart. The Regal Sword Scripture advanced by leaps and bounds, and her understanding was like a torrential flood.
The sword scripture in her mind seemed to be instantly comprehended by her, and she directly understood the most fundamental essence.
The golden light gradually sank into her body, as if it had turned into her gauze, gently sticking to her graceful body.
A meter above her head, a long sword gradually condensed. It was originally transparent and colorless, but it was gradually shrouded in gold.
The golden light gradually drilled into the sword, turning it into a golden sword.
As time passed, the golden sword gradually faded, as if it had been washed away, returning to the color of white jade. It was as if a jade sword was suspended in the air, trembling as she breathed, as if it was alive.
