Tang Xu sneered, his voice chilling to the bone. "In that case, we can't touch Song Zhifan?"
"We can beat him, we can cripple him, but we can't kill him." Chu Li shook his head. "I've been looking for a chance to cripple him, but he has the Art of Ageless Longevity. He can recover immediately after being crippled, so I can't do anything to him. I can only make sure he doesn't get the Sky Killer Sword."
"Can you stop him from getting the Sky Killer Sword?" Tang Xu frowned. "What if he attacks Goddess Attraction Mountain?"
Chu Li said, "Goddess Attraction Mountain isn't a place he can go whenever he wants."
"That's not necessarily true. I know his cultivation level is very powerful. If he continues to improve, we won't be his match. If it wasn't for Grandmaster's help, a few of us would've been killed. "Chu Li smiled." He's always wanted to get the Sky Killer Sword before killing you guys.
That's why you guys haven't been killed yet, but now it seems like he's running out of patience. The Art of Ageless Longevity can strengthen his cultivation level by devouring others. If he defeats an Enlightened Master, he'll become stronger. If he defeats a few, the rest won't be his match. Why did he attack Church Leader Sun? He thinks that Church Leader Sun is the weakest new Enlightened Master. Once he defeats Church Leader Sun, the next would be Ji Dynasty's Enlightened Master, then Zheng Dynasty's Enlightened Master, then Li Dynasty's Enlightened Master, and finally you, Your Majesty. Only by killing Your Majesty can he go up Goddess Attraction Mountain. Before killing all the other Enlightened Masters, he won't dare to go up. "
"… That makes sense." Tang Xu nodded. "If that's the case, we'll have to work together?"
Chu Li shook his head. "In the end, he wants to kill the Enlightened Masters and create a new world that won't be controlled by Grandmaster. The right to become a God will belong to him."
"How ambitious." Tang Xu scoffed.
How could he not have the same ambition? That was why he hated those who had the same ambition and could not tolerate it.
Chu Li said, "Although he's ambitious, it's not completely impossible. After all, he has Song Wuji behind him."
"… Alright, Chu Li, let's put our grudges aside." Tang Xu pondered and said slowly, "Let's deal with Song Zhifan first."
Chu Li smiled. "I thought Your Majesty said that we'll forget our grudges."
"That's impossible." Tang Xu shook his head. "You wouldn't believe me even if I said that."
"Alright, I'll trust His Majesty this time. Let's put aside our grudges and deal with Song Zhifan first." Chu Li said, "The best idea is to capture him and imprison him. After we've crippled him, we'll send someone to keep an eye on him at all times to prevent him from recovering. Otherwise, if we give him a chance, he'll be able to come back from the dead. He might even become stronger and become a bigger problem."
"Is Cult Master Sun involved in this matter?" Tang Xu looked at Sun Mingyue.
Sun Mingyue said faintly, "It's my duty!"
"Alright." Tang Xu laughed and said, "As expected, a woman is not inferior to a man, being so straightforward and efficient. I will find someone to discuss this with and strive for us Heavenly Deities to join hands to restrain him and cripple him. Does he really think that we Heavenly Deities are made of clay, to be manipulated by him?"
Chu Li said, "I'd like to remind you to be careful, Your Majesty. He's not the only one in the Longevity Church. There are many other masters in hiding, so you must act quickly and covertly. Otherwise, if the Longevity Church finds out, there will be more variables!"
"Alright, I'll play it safe." Tang Xu nodded. "Chu Li, you're not involved?"
Chu Li shook his head and said, "I won't be involved. After all, he's only a Grandmaster, not an Enlightened Master like you."
"Alright," Tang Xu said, "Then wait for my good news, Cult Master Sun."
Chu Li smiled and said, "His Majesty, don't play any tricks at this time, or else we'll really become enemies."
"I've always been aware of the severity of my actions!" Tang Xu scoffed and suddenly disappeared.
Chu Li looked at the spot where he disappeared and shook his head. "I really have to guard against him."
Sun Mingyue said, "I will."
"Alright then, I'll take my leave first." Chu Li smiled and nodded. "Miss Li, do you have anything else to say?"
Li Meng quickly said, "Master, take care."
Sun Mingyue said faintly, "Listen to Chu Li in everything, don't make your own decisions and act smart, or else don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Yes." Li Meng nodded vigorously.
Chu Li pulled her sleeve and suddenly disappeared.
The next moment, they appeared in the courtyard of the High Duke's Public House. Chu Li pointed at the Glory's Will Tree. "Continue chanting. Whenever you complete your goal, you can start cultivating martial arts, so there's no rush."
"Yes," Li Meng answered obediently.
After witnessing Chu Li's imposing manner and prestige when facing an Enlightened Master, she suddenly understood Master's painstaking efforts. It was indeed a rare opportunity to learn from Chu Li. Even if she knew he was making things difficult for her, she had to grit her teeth and do it well, so that he could not say anything and not embarrass Master.
The next moment, Chu Li appeared in the distance and hurried to Lu Jun.
Lu Jun was skinning a deer in the forest with a bonfire next to him. When he saw Chu Li, he scoffed and said, "I say, Bai Li, what the hell are you doing? Why are you being so mysterious!"
Chu Li shook his head and sighed. "One of my friends sent out an emergency signal, so I'm going to save someone."
"I can help too!" Lu Jun scoffed.
Chu Li smiled. "I alone am enough, and I need to keep it a secret."
"You need to keep it a secret even from me?" Lu Jun stared at him in dissatisfaction.
Chu Li said, "This is my promise to my friend, a friend who helped me gather information. I will not let a second person know about this."
"… Alright, then you do the barbecue!" Lu Jun scoffed.
He had nothing to say. Bai Li was very sincere in this matter. A promise was the most important thing.
When the two of them rushed back to the thatched cottage in the evening two days later, they saw Song Zhifan sitting at the stone table outside drinking wine. His face was flushed, and his handsome face was flushed. His eyes were bright and burning as he stared at the two of them.
The sun was setting, and the sky was red.
The forest beside the thatched cottage was dyed red, just like the maple leaves in late autumn.
Song Zhifan, who was dressed in green, was also dyed red. His golden crown was glowing red, and he looked even more luxurious.
"Bishop!" Lu Jun and Chu Li went forward to greet him.
Song Zhifan raised his blurry eyes and looked at Chu Li. He chuckled. "Bai Li Na, it seems like you've mastered the first level."
"Yes, thanks to Bishop, I've mastered it. My body is much stronger now." Chu Li nodded.
Song Zhifan scoffed. "It seems like you've also passed Elder Fang's test. There's no problem."
Chu Li smiled. "Elder Fang did see me."
"If that's the case, then follow me to the Hundred-Thousand Hills!" Song Zhifan said.
Chu Li was stunned. "Bishop, you're going to the Hundred-Thousand Hills?"
"That's right, the Hundred-Thousand Hills!" Song Zhifan laughed. "They all think that I can't do anything to them, especially Chu Li. He really thinks that I'm at the end of my rope. I want to show him who's stronger and more worthy of a beauty!"
Chu Li said, "Bishop, please reconsider."
Lu Jun nodded. "Yes, Bishop, please reconsider. The Hundred-Thousand Hills is not somewhere else. You can't enter it."
Song Zhifan's face suddenly darkened. He stared at Lu Jun coldly. "Why? Am I not keeping my word?"
"Of course not." Lu Jun shook his head. "But the Hundred-Thousand Hills is too dangerous."
