Chu Li put down his teacup and sighed. "If what they said is true, then they must be people of great background!"
"What's his background?" Xue Ling asked.
Chu Li shook his head. "It's a long story …"
He explained the details of the Changsheng Denomination to Xue Ling. Since Xue Ling was in charge of gathering intelligence, she should know about this information. Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to identify the most important information and she might make a mistake in her judgment.
After listening to Chu Li, Xue Ling frowned and said, "If that's the case, they are the descendants of the Longevity Faction?"
Chu Li said, "If he's really a descendant of the Longevity Church, it's going to be quite lively for him to appear so openly."
The heritage of the Changsheng Sect would even tempt Empyrean Gods. Empyrean Gods were divided into different levels and they had to continue cultivating. Even if they could not cultivate, what about their descendants? Back then, the Changshen Sect was extremely powerful and invincible.
Of course, the Changshen Denomination would think of this. Since they still dared to make it public under such circumstances, they must have something up their sleeves. They already had enough power to maintain the inheritance. Could it be that they had another Enlightened Master? Another Song Wuji had appeared?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head.
"Master, should I send someone to keep an eye on them?" Xue Ling asked.
Chu Li shook his head. "Don't move yet."
Xue Ling nodded slowly. "If that's the case, they must be very strong. Master, do you want to hand over the Sky Killer Sword?"
"I'm afraid I'll have to hand it over in the end." Chu Li sighed.
The Sky Killing Sword came from Song Wuji. Now that Song Wuji's descendant had appeared to demand the sword, Immortal Attraction Mountain would probably have to return it to Song Zhifan.
Song Zhifan had directly asked him for the sword. Even if he wanted to return it, he couldn't rashly do so. After all, he had obtained it from Zhou Dunli. He needed Zhou Dunli to decide whether to return it or not.
Moreover, even if he wanted to return it, he wouldn't want to return it to someone like Song Zhifan.
However, Song Zhifan was extremely dangerous and could not be provoked. He was even more dangerous than Tang Xu. Even if Tang Xu ran into him, he would not be able to get away with it. Today, Song Zhifan was able to injure him by surprise. It was a trick.
Chu Li stood up with his hands behind his back and looked to the west. It was the inn where Song Zhifan and Lu Jun were staying.
He felt that Song Zhifan's trump card must be the Sacrificial Divine Art.
After mastering the Sacrificial Divine Art, he could exert ten times the power. Song Zhifan's cultivation was similar to his. If he used the Sacrificial Divine Art, with his Sacrificial Formula and many secret skills, he would not be a match for him.
If Master Zhou Dunli did not want to get involved in the matters of the Changshen Sect, he might just return the Sky Regaining Sword.
Li Meng said, "If we really return the sword to him, wouldn't that be too depressing?"
Chu Li turned around and sat down. He smiled. "You can't beat him, so why don't you return his things? You'll only return it after getting beaten up. Don't you feel aggrieved?"
"Didn't you hurt him?" Li Meng asked.
Chu Li shook his head. "It's just a trick. I won't be so lucky next time!"
"I see …" Li Meng tilted her head and looked at him. "You really can't beat him?"
"I can't." Chu Li shook his head.
He trusted his instincts.
There would always be someone stronger than you, and there would always be someone stronger in this world. He had never thought that he was invincible under the heavens. Even heavenly deities didn't dare to say they were invincible, let alone him.
"How about I ask my teacher to come and teach him a lesson?" Li Meng said.
Chu Li shook his head. "She's bound by the Heavenly Rules. She can't simply attack Grandmasters."
He actually felt that Sun Mingyue wouldn't be able to beat Song Zhifan.
He really couldn't be proud of the sudden appearance of such a top-notch master.
He just didn't know which country he belonged to. If he belonged to the Fu Dynasty, he would have to get rid of him or cripple him before he could ascend to the Imperial Emperor's position. Then, when Master Zhou Dunli ascended to the heavens, he would ascend to become an Enlightened Master.
Li Meng scoffed. "There's such a rule? What's the point of becoming an Enlightened Master?"
Chu Li said, "You'll know in the future. Now, go back and chant!"
"You still want me to chant at a time like this? Hurry up and ask Master for help!" Li Meng said.
Chu Li frowned and looked at her.
"Alright, alright. Chant, chant!" Li Meng stuck out her tongue and stood up helplessly. "I'm going to chant."
She ran back to the Glory's Will Tree and sat cross-legged on the cattail hassock. She lowered her head and began to chant the Great Light Scripture.
The gazebo quieted down. Xue Ling said, "Master, if you really can't do it, you should hide. Don't fight him head-on."
Chu Li shook his head. "The Public House is the unlucky one. He's forcing me to stay here and not let me go to Goddess Attraction Mountain."
"Then we'll do as he wishes?" Xue Ling frowned. "The Public House doesn't have any deep grudges with him. He won't go so far as to kill them. It's just a matter of time."
Chu Li shook his head.
Ten times the cultivation level. How could he achieve ten times the cultivation level?
The secret skills he knew could not reach such a level. Three times was already the best. This was also the reason why the Longevity Church was able to dominate the world. Others could not stimulate ten times the cultivation level.
Unfortunately, he could not team up with Sun Mingyue. Otherwise, he could defeat him.
As for Goddess Attraction Mountain, he hesitated and did not go.
He had to try to solve it himself. If it really did not work, he could go to Goddess Attraction Mountain and ask Master for help.
"Master, should we spread the news?" Xue Ling asked.
Chu Li frowned and thought for a while. He shook his head.
Xue Ling wanted to get someone else to do her dirty work. After spreading the news, the Enlightened Masters would definitely come. Song Zhifan could not even take care of himself. He did not have the leisure to snatch the sword. It was a matter of a few words. Why not?
Chu Li was now hesitating if he should go against the Longevity Church.
Once the news spread, the Longevity Church would definitely know about it. Then, they would become mortal enemies. They still did not know the strength of the Longevity Church. It was not wise to rashly become mortal enemies. It was better to wait and see.
"Then there's only one move left. Return the sword!" Xue Ling said.
Chu Li shook his head. "Let's test them first. … Don't let our spies move. We'll wait and see!"
"Yes." Xue Ling nodded.
Chu Li looked at her. "You can't make decisions on your own!"
"… Yes!" Xue Ling secretly shivered. She could only agree.
Chu Li waved his hand and Xue Ling fluttered away.
He practiced his fist in the courtyard as if nothing had happened. He watched Li Meng recite the scripture. After she had recited it three hundred times, he asked her to recite it another ten times. There were ten times when she recited it wrongly. Moreover, he pointed out every mistake clearly, leaving Li Meng speechless.
Li Meng could not help but secretly exclaim. She watched him practice his fist and talk at the same time. He was actually multitasking and listening to her recite the scripture. He even heard her recite every word clearly. This ability was amazing.
It was late at night. Chu Li bade farewell at the backyard of King An's Imperial Residence. He asked Xiao Qi to stay and returned to the Public House alone. Then, he disguised himself as an old man and appeared in an inn in Chong Ming Town.
The old man that he disguised himself as had an aura of lethargy. There was no flaw at all. This was caused by the Life and Death Scripture. Not only did he have an old face, there was not a trace of falsehood in his entire body. It was a sign of aging and decay.
He stood outside a house and sneered. "The remnants of the Longevity Church. How dare you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left. He disappeared into the night sky like a wisp of smoke.
Song Zhifan and Lu Jun immediately opened the window and floated out. They followed closely behind him. They left Chong Ming Town and arrived at the forest on the outskirts.
A bright moon hung in the sky like an ice wheel.
The moonlight was like water. The chirping of the insects in the forest suddenly stopped as if they sensed danger.
The old man that Chu Li had disguised himself as had white eyebrows and deep wrinkles on his face. His eyes were filled with dignity and brilliance. He stared at Song Zhifan and Lu Jun. "Are you the remnants of the Longevity Church?"
