"… Yes." Lu Jun and Chu Li looked at each other helplessly. They shook their heads but did not dare to say more.
Lu Jun could see that the bishop was unhappy. He had been defeated by Chu Li again and again. It had worn out the bishop's spirit and spirit. The original high-spirited look was gone. Now, he was drowning his sorrows in alcohol.
There was not much he could do. If the bishop could not defeat Chu Li, he could not either. He could only accompany the bishop to take the risk.
Lu Jun tugged at his sleeve and gave him a look.
The two retreated into the forest far away.
He looked at Chu Li. "Elder Bai, quickly go back and inform Elder Fang."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
Lu Jun said, "Among all the elders in the cult, only Elder Fang can persuade Cult Master. We can't really let Cult Master go to the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Once he goes there, he will die without a doubt!"
Chu Li was confused. "Is the Hundred-Thousand Hills that powerful?"
"The Hundred-Thousand Hills is a forbidden area, especially for the Enlightened Masters." Lu Jun lowered his voice. "Let me tell you. If you were weaker, you might live longer. But if you are an Enlightened Master, you will be killed there. There is no chance of survival!"
"I have never heard of an Enlightened Master dying in there," Chu Li said.
Lu Jun scoffed. "That's because these Enlightened Masters know their place. But do you think there are only a few Enlightened Masters in the world and there are no others?"
Chu Li looked at him thoughtfully.
Lu Jun scoffed. "There are many Enlightened Masters in private. They are just hiding. Some are in the Imperial Mausoleum, some are in the Enlightened Master Grounds. Those who are not have died in the Hundred-Thousand Hills."
Chu Li laughed. "Enlightened Masters died in the Hundred-Thousand Hills?"
"In short, the Hundred-Thousand Hills is the tomb of the Enlightened Masters. We must not enter it. The bishop must have suffered a huge shock this time." Lu Jun looked worried. He shook his head. "If we can't persuade the bishop, it will be over!"
Chu Li said, "Why not you? Elder Fang trusts you more."
"Do you think I can leave?" Lu Jun scoffed. "Besides, my cultivation level is far from yours. I am not as fast as you. The most important thing now is speed. Elder Bai, don't dawdle. Let's go now!"
"Just send a message to Elder Fang directly," Chu Li said with a smile. "Why go through so much trouble? I'm sure we'll be able to contact Elder Fang."
Lu Jun snorted. "How am I qualified to contact Elder Fang? Only the cult master can use the Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Snail."
"… Alright." Chu Li nodded.
He understood Song Zhifan's intentions. He wanted to enter the Hundred Thousand Mountains and devour Spirit Beasts to strengthen himself. It seemed that devouring Spirit Beasts was more beneficial than devouring Deities, and his cultivation would increase faster.
However, this was also an extremely risky move.
Once the Enlightened Realm God stepped into the Hundred Thousand Mountains, he would be sensed by the spirit beasts in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. The second, first, and even supreme spirit beasts would rush over to kill him. Even if Song Wuji descended, he would not be a match for them, let alone Song Zhifan.
He speculated that Song Zhifan must have something to rely on. The biggest possibility was that he had a treasure that could hide his aura.
"Quick, let's go!" Lu Jun hurriedly glanced at the thatched cottage outside the forest. "Cult Master drank too much. When he wakes up, I'll tell him that you haven't returned yet and that he's mistaken."
"Alright." Chu Li closed fist saluted and turned to leave.
Lu Jun watched him leave and let out a long sigh of relief. He then looked worriedly at Song Zhifan who was far away. He shook his head and went forward to pour wine for him. He wanted to make the cult master even more drunk and sleep deeper. This would delay him more and buy enough time for Chu Li.

Chu Li appeared on the floating mountain.
He walked quickly along the North – South Avenue in the west. He suddenly stopped halfway as three young men blocked his way. All of them wore red robes and had white powder on their faces. They looked quite scary.
Chu Li frowned and looked at the three of them. He closed fist saluted. "Greetings, Senior Brother Niu."
The young man in the red robe waved his hand. "You're Baili Na who just joined the cult, right?"
"That's right." Chu Li nodded.
Niu Jin snorted. "Very good. Since you're a newcomer, you're a junior brother. We won't judge based on age."
"What orders do you have for me, Senior Brother Niu?" Chu Li asked.
"As a new junior brother, shouldn't you give us a toast?" Niu Jin chuckled. He looked at the other two young men. "Don't you think so? If we don't treat Junior Brother Baili Na to a meal, everyone will say that the floating mountain is not warm enough!"
"That's right!" The other two young men quickly nodded and chuckled. "We should treat Junior Brother Baili Na to a meal."
"Alright, let's go to the Fortune Restaurant." Niu Jin laughed.
Chu Li shook his head. "I appreciate Senior Brother Niu and the other two senior brothers' good intentions. Let's do it another day. I have something to report to Elder Fang this time."
"Yo, using Elder Fang to pressure us!" Niu Jin chuckled. "Do you think we're useless and useless? That's why you don't want to accept our invitation?"
Chu Li said, "Senior Brother Niu, you misunderstood. I don't mean that. However, this matter is really important and cannot be delayed. I hope Senior Brother Niu and the other two senior brothers can forgive me. Goodbye!"
He walked forward after he finished speaking.
Niu Jin and the other two stood in front of him and blocked the way. There was only enough space for one person to pass between every two people. If Chu Li wanted to move forward, he would have to pass through one of the gaps.
He did not want to know that the three of them would definitely take the opportunity to provoke him. As long as there was physical contact, they would definitely take the opportunity to attack him. It was only natural for them to take him down a notch.
Chu Li shook his head and smiled. His body suddenly flashed and he passed through the gap between the two of them.
His current cultivation level was at Baili Na's level. It was not too strong, but not too weak either. It was comparable to them by a level.
However, the three of them suddenly changed their bodies and collided with Chu Li. Niu Jin shouted, "Junior Brother Baili Na, we don't have any other intentions. Don't fight!"
Even if Chu Li did not want to collide with them, the three of them had already collided with him.
Chu Li quickly retreated and avoided the collision of the three of them. He avoided it by a hair's breadth. It was a close shave.
The three of them's expressions changed slightly. They felt that they had encountered a tough opponent.
They had already used all their strength to activate their heart techniques, but they could not touch this old man in front of them. They could not tell that he was a master of body movement technique. They had really underestimated this old man!
Chu Li shouted, "Senior Brother Niu, if you continue to be unreasonable, don't blame me for not taking into consideration our friendship as fellow disciples!"
"Who's being unreasonable? You're the one who bumped into us. How dare you say that we're unreasonable!" Niu Jin shouted, "I must demand an explanation today. Old man, what right do you have to look down on Senior Brother!"
Chu Li raised his voice. "Elder Fang, I have something to report!"
His voice shook the sky and echoed throughout the floating mountain.
He felt that Elder Fang was hiding in the dark and watching. He wanted to take the opportunity to find out the truth about him. At the same time, he wanted to take the opportunity to teach Niu Jin and the other two a lesson. He wanted to help the bishop vent his anger and intimidate those old men so that they would behave themselves.
However, this shout forced Elder Fang to reveal himself. He could no longer hide.
"Come to the Heaven's Punishment Hall!" Elder Fang's low and hoarse voice reverberated above the floating mountain.
Chu Li raised his voice and shouted, "Yes!"
As he spoke, he looked at Niu Jin and the other two.
Niu Jin and the other two's faces were covered with white powder. It was impossible to see the changes in their expressions. However, looking at their sharp eyes, it was obvious that they hated Chu Li.
