"Bang!" A loud noise was heard in the Divine Light Basilica.
Du Ying stood outside the basilica and shrunk her neck, sighing helplessly.
The bishop was angry again, so she could not help but pity Li Meng.
Li Meng did not become a Saint. She only became the bishop's disciple for a short period of time before she surpassed the Saint and became the bishop's leader. Her foundation was shallow, so even though she was now an Enlightened Master, the disciples of the Holy Church of Light were not convinced.
Sun Mingyue became a Saint at a young age and monopolized the power of the church, suppressing many of the elders in the church. Whether it was her martial arts or wisdom, the disciples were convinced and obedient.
However, this new bishop had only been in office for a short time, so no one could tell what she was capable of. If she suddenly became the bishop, how could the disciples be convinced? Even though she was an Enlightened Master, it was inevitable that she would do some things.
This was purely a subconscious move. She did not really want to overthrow the bishop. She just wanted the bishop to rule and delegate more power so that everyone could have a taste of power.
It was human nature to fight for power, especially when one was skilled in martial arts and had a respected position. It was impossible to give up power.
They knew the danger. If they accidentally angered the bishop, they would be in big trouble. Therefore, they were very careful so that no one could find an excuse to attack or punish them.
They were all old people, so it was easy for them to do such things. They could not find any evidence against them, which made Li Meng even angrier.
Li Meng was dressed in white, and her face was covered with a white veil. She looked like the reincarnation of Sun Mingyue.
She held onto the table and did not move. The atmosphere in the Divine Light Basilica seemed to have frozen.
She stared fixedly at a file on the table, and her bright eyes burned like raging flames. She wished for nothing more than to tear this file into pieces, but she forcefully suppressed this impulse and could only forcefully endure it. She had a bellyful of rage that had nowhere to vent.
The more she could not find any evidence against them, the more depressed she felt.
If her master was here, they would not have dared to fool around like this. She did not have her master's wisdom. When faced with such a situation, she could not do anything but let them lead her by the nose.
She gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do.
She was an Enlightened Master, but an Enlightened Master could not simply attack a Grandmaster or an Innate Master. To deal with these subordinates, she could only use her power and influence, not her martial arts. Moreover, power and influence required a justifiable reason, and yet there was no reason to punish them.
"Cough." Suddenly, a clear cough interrupted her anger. She turned around and saw Chu Li. She suppressed her anger but still felt a little indignant. She gave a fist salute and said, "Master's Junior."
Chu Li smiled. "Why are you throwing a tantrum?"
Li Meng took off her white veil, revealing a taut and delicate face. Her anger was still there. "These guys are too infuriating. I want to slap them to death!"
Chu Li said, "You're taking advantage of your seniority just because you're still young?
"Yes." Li Meng nodded forcefully and said, "There are also some who are loyal to my master and me, but most of them are just guys who see the wind and set the helm. When they see that I'm easy to bully, they all come up to me. They want me, the Cult Master, to be just a decoration. They can decide everything. Am I the Cult Master or are they the Cult Master?!"
She let out all her resentment in one breath, and her heart instantly felt much better.
She was all alone here without a friend she could confide in. It was really depressing.
Chu Li asked, "What do you plan to do?"
"I really have no choice." Li Meng shook her head. "These guys are all sly and cunning. I can't do anything, and I can't find any evidence to use against them even if I scold them. This is really infuriating!"
Chu Li pondered and said, "Do you need my help?"
If Li Meng encountered such a situation, of course, he could turn a blind eye and let Li Meng suffer on her own. Through the torture, her talent would improve, and her temperament would be greatly beneficial to her growth.
If Pang Shiji encountered such a situation, he would not intervene.
However, Li Meng was different. She was Sun Mingyue's disciple, and she was also a woman. She should not be tortured like this, and it was better for her to be a little more obedient. Chu Li could not help but want to help her and free her from this predicament.
Li Meng shook her head. "Master's Junior, you won't be able to help much. No matter how strong your martial arts is, or how high your reputation is, if you interfere with the internal affairs of the Church, the people will still be unhappy. It's fine if you're here, but once you leave, they'll make a bigger fuss, and they'll even look down on me as the Bishop. The internal affairs of the Church are the internal affairs of the Church, and we can't let outsiders help us. This goes against the bottom line."
Chu Li looked at her in surprise.
Li Meng's tense face broke into a smile. "Master's Junior, I understand this."
Chu Li sighed. "You've really improved a lot!"
Li Meng said, "But I still have to thank you, Master's Junior. With you around, I'm full of confidence, and I'm not afraid of anything."
Chu Li smiled and shook his head. "Do you think I'll use this identity to help you?"
"… Zhao Dahe?" Li Meng's eyes lit up, and she asked in surprise, "Master's Junior, you're going to transform into Zhao Dahe?"
Chu Li nodded. "It's time for Priest Zhao to come to the rescue."
Li Meng immediately became excited. "Master's Junior, do you really want to do this?"
"I'll teach these people a lesson first," Chu Li said with a smile. "It won't take much effort!"
"Thank you, Master's Junior!" Li Meng said happily.
Once Chu Li transformed into Zhao Dahe, he would no longer have to worry about anything.
As a Guardian of the Church, it was natural for her to be loyal to the Bishop. Moreover, it was perfectly justifiable for her to act as the Bishop's lackey, and no one could say anything about it. Furthermore, it was also because of her brilliant methods that she was able to subdue Zhao Dahe, the Church's followers would only admire her, and they would not have any rebellious thoughts like Chu Li did when he interfered.
Chu Li smiled. "Then from tomorrow onwards, I'll transform into Zhao Dahe and return to the Great Light Peak. Then, I'll teach those people a lesson on your behalf, so they'll know what it means to be a part of!"
"Alright!" Li Meng said with a smile.
The next morning, Chu Li transformed into Zhao Dahe and appeared at the bottom of the Great Light Peak.
Following his return, the atmosphere in the Holy Church of Light immediately changed, and the people stopped being sloppy.
Zhao Dahe's name was known throughout the world, especially to the disciples of the Holy Church of Light. Not only was he famous, but his status was also respected.
On the second evening after Zhao Dahe returned to the Great Light Peak, he severely injured two Altar Leaders in the Holy Church of Light and killed several Branch Leaders. The atmosphere in the Holy Church of Light instantly changed, and everyone became well-behaved.
They dared to bully the Bishop because he was young and soft-hearted, so they would not act recklessly even if they were Enlightened Masters. However, Zhao Dahe was different. He was cruel and merciless, and it would not end well for them to fall into his hands.
A bright moon hung in the sky, and the Divine Light Basilica was brightly lit.
Chu Li and Li Meng sat in the basilica and chatted.
"Master's Junior, you're really useful!" Li Meng smiled like a flower.
Ever since Chu Li came, she felt relaxed and no longer felt any pressure. Now that she had someone to rely on, and her subordinates had become well-behaved, everything was going smoothly, and it was wonderful. She could not wait for Chu Li to stay here.
Chu Li shook his head and smiled. "Did you notice the shadows of the other three sects?"
Li Meng frowned and asked, "Master's Junior, are you saying that the other three sects are behind this?"
Chu Li said, "There are traces of them."
