Just as her slender hand was about to touch the red bead, she suddenly paused and gently pushed it away.
The red bead was deflected by an extremely soft force, as if an invisible wind had blown over and blown it back.
"Bang!" Dong Guangyi's fist shattered the red bead. Water droplets splashed everywhere and most of them landed on Dong Guangyi's fist.
His expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly swung his hand. Then, a flash of cold light flashed past his waist, and a cold light slashed across his fist.
"Tss!" His fist and wrist separated and fell to the ground.
His fist flipped twice and only the pink bone was exposed. His flesh had disappeared and the bone seemed to be melting quickly. In the blink of an eye, it had turned into a puddle of pink water.
Sun Mingyue's hair stood on end and she was furious.
If Chu Li had not warned her in advance to be careful of his tricks and the red bead, she would have been poisoned. She might not have been able to expel such an overbearing and vicious medicine.
Seeing that Dong Guangyi could only use self-harm to resist the medicine, she knew that there was no cure.
Dong Guangyi had already sealed his wrist to stop the blood from flowing. His face was pale as he stared at Sun Mingyue and gritted his teeth. "Good! Good! I will never forget today's lesson. Leader Sun, we will meet again! "
Then, he suddenly disappeared into thin air.
The people on the ground stared at Sun Mingyue with their eyes wide open in disbelief.
Dong Guangyi, who was second only to Chu Li, was defeated so thoroughly and miserably. It was worse than facing Chu Li. Could it be that Sun Mingyue's martial arts was stronger than Chu Li's?
They could not help but feel disappointed when they thought of this.
Chu Li landed on the ground and looked at the Grandmasters. He scoffed and turned to Sun Mingyue. "Leader, kill them all."
"Forget it." Sun Mingyue shook her head. "An Enlightened Master's battle shouldn't involve the Grandmasters."
Chu Li was shocked. "Leader, we are enemies with the Black Tortoise Mountain. Letting them go is cruel to us. It's better to kill them!"
Sun Mingyue frowned and stared at him.
Chu Li had a stubborn look. "Leader, you're an Enlightened Master. You can't do anything to them, but I can!"
Sun Mingyue said, "As long as they swear not to go against the Holy Church, I will let them go!"
"Bishop!" Chu Li hurriedly said.
"I've already made up my mind. Say no more!" Sun Mingyue scoffed.
"… Yes!" Chu Li pretended to be helpless and sighed. Then, he turned around and glared at the others. "Swear on it. Count yourself lucky!"
Normally, even if they were to die, they would not swear an Enlightened Master's Oath. It was too embarrassing and it would make them look like they had no backbone. Grandmasters were not afraid of death at all. If they died, they could go up to the Grandmaster's Boundary without being threatened by him.
However, in such a situation, they had no intention of refusing. Sun Mingyue had defeated Dong Guangyi, and they could not help but feel admiration for her. Especially since she had defeated Dong Guangyi as a woman, it was even more admirable.
Chu Li watched as they swore their oaths before he turned around and sped away.
Sun Mingyue quickly appeared beside him, and a faint fragrance drifted into his nose.
He looked straight ahead as he sped forward. Sun Mingyue seemed to be supported by an invisible force as she followed him lightly. "Actually, you don't have to help me."
Chu Li smiled. "Isn't this satisfying? You can even make your name known."
"Unfortunately, it's just an empty reputation," Sun Mingyue said. "I'll inevitably be burdened by it in the future."
Chu Li said, "You can summon me with just a thought. How is it an empty reputation?"
Both of them had the Supreme Titanium Scripture as a guide. They could sense each other with just a thought and appear beside each other in an instant. If Sun Mingyue encountered a top-notch Enlightened Master, he could rush over with just a thought and turn into Zhao Dahe to join forces with her.
Sun Mingyue shook her head.
Chu Li smiled. "Don't you want the Holy Church of Light to be more peaceful?"
"Sigh … Forget it." Sun Mingyue nodded.
She did not want to carry an empty reputation. The title of the world's second master was indeed a burden, but it was also a great benefit. Others would have some scruples if they wanted to deal with the Holy Church of Light and would not dare to act recklessly. It would greatly benefit the Holy Church of Light.
This was the reason why countless people pursued fame. It was not just for fame, but also for benefits.
When Chu Li saw that she had agreed, he smiled. This was his repayment to Sun Mingyue.
"The Blood Dragon Tree has grown," Chu Li said.
Sun Mingyue's eyes lit up as she sized him up. She chuckled and nodded without saying anything.
She was proud that Chu Li could do what others could not.
Chu Li said, "After a while, when they bear fruit, I'll give you a few."
"How many fruits can they bear?" Sun Mingyue asked.
Chu Li shook his head. "I can't say for now. How many do you need?"
Sun Mingyue thought for a while and said, "Three."
Chu Li said, "Let's see how many fruits you can bear. I'll give you half."
He had grown three trees. If there were no accidents, he would be able to bear thirty Blood Dragon Fruits. He was not prepared to take all of them for himself, nor did he want to take half of them. After all, Sun Mingyue had obtained the Blood Dragon Tree branch and he had to raise it by using the Life and Death Scripture.
Ultimately, the Blood Dragon Tree was his foundation. Without Sun Mingyue, he would not have obtained it.
"I don't need that much," Sun Mingyue said.
Chu Li shook his head. "The world is changing now. The stronger the ability, the better."
Sun Mingyue hesitated for a while before nodding slowly.

Zheng Xilai paced back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back.
Initially, he and Sun Mingyue were acting as bait, waiting for Chu Li to fall for the trap and enter the tent. Then, they would kill him in one fell swoop. However, Sun Mingyue left halfway and ignored his attempts to stop her. If she continued to stop him, he would definitely fall out with her.
This made him furious. He felt that he had been deceived.
At this moment, footsteps were heard. He shouted, "Who's outside?"
"It's me." Sun Mingyue's cold voice was heard. She lifted the curtain and entered the tent.
Zheng Xilai's expression was still grim. He said, "I can't believe that Cult Leader Sun has returned!"
Sun Mingyue laughed coldly and said, "You did it, didn't you?"
"What?" Zheng Xilai frowned.
Sun Mingyue said, "It's about Black Tortoise Mountain! You leaked the news to Black Tortoise Mountain and asked them to kill Priest Zhao, didn't you? If I hadn't arrived in time, Priest Zhao would have been killed by Dong Guangyi. You should be satisfied! "
"Cult Leader Sun, what kind of person do you think I am!" Zheng Xilai shouted.
Sun Mingyue said coldly, "What kind of person do you think I am? Am I that gullible? "
Zheng Xilai waved his hand. "There must be some misunderstanding. Is Priest Zhao alright?"
"I almost couldn't make it in time!" Sun Mingyue said, "Outsiders don't know about Priest Zhao. Moreover, Black Tortoise Mountain went after the Blood Dragon Tree. Apart from His Majesty and me, who else knows that Priest Zhao obtained the Blood Dragon Tree branch? His Majesty, please don't quibble. You'll only make me look down on you! "
"Sigh …" Zheng Xilai shook his head and smiled bitterly. "This is really a misunderstanding. It's very likely that Black Tortoise Mountain has been keeping an eye on the Blood Dragon Tree. When they noticed that something was amiss, they acted immediately. They would rather kill the wrong person than let them go."
"I'm very disappointed in His Majesty," Sun Mingyue said coldly.
"Then …" Zheng Xilai hesitated.
Sun Mingyue scoffed. "Don't worry. Since I've agreed to it, I won't go back on my word!"
"That's good!" Zheng Xilai smiled.
"Were the two of you waiting for me?" Chu Li's voice suddenly sounded from inside the tent. Then, he appeared out of thin air.
Zheng Xilai's expression changed.
