The hall seemed to have frozen. The faces of the two Vice Hall Masters were gloomy.
Since the order of the Rain Master had been given, it could not be disobeyed. They had to depart for the foreign battleground tomorrow without any delay. Otherwise, they would violate the rules of the hall and be severely punished.
Song Chengzhi passed the small wooden box beside him to Chu Li. "These are the remaining five pieces. We finally have enough."
Chu Li took it and thanked them. He said slowly, "Clan Leader, Deputy Clan Leader, although we've just started learning, everyone's formation is already good enough to fight against enemies."
"Now?" Song Chengzhi's spirit was lifted. The two Vice Hall Masters also looked at him.
Chu Li nodded. "The Small White Dew Formation was originally derived from the White Dew Formation. The step technique is the same, so there's not much difficulty in practicing it. Everyone will be able to master it in one go. It's not a big deal."
"This is great news!" Song Chengzhi let out a sigh of relief. "Now that the Small White Dew Formation has been cultivated, there won't be any problems. It doesn't matter if it's a month earlier or a month later. Oh right, Chu Li, what about you?"
Chu Li smiled and said, "Clan Leader, I'm fine too. I've been itching to deal with the Asuras for a long time!"
The atmosphere in the hall immediately relaxed.
Song Chengzhi sighed, "This time, Summer Rain Hall and Asura fought very fiercely. Asura wanted to annihilate Summer Rain Hall, but Summer Rain Hall was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. No wonder they didn't touch the Lower Bound. … This time, the Elder Council is also responsible. The Lower Bound didn't succeed in scattering Asura, and instead, fell into their trap."
Chu Li frowned. "They're using the Lower Realm to distract the Asuras and reduce the pressure on the foreign battlefields?"
"Yes." Song Chengzhi nodded and said, "Chu Li, you must feel indignant after hearing this. This is indeed the Elder Society's idea. The Asuras' powers will be weakened when they descend to the Lower Realm. With the help of the Celestials in the Lower Realm, they should be able to cope for a while and give us a breather."
Chu Li frowned. "Could it be that only the Rain Master Palace is dealing with Asura and the other eight factions are not doing anything?"
"The other eight divisions aren't idle either." Song Chengzhi sighed and said, "The extraterrestrial demons are more difficult to deal with, and Asura is instead a small problem. That's why our Rain Master Hall is in charge of Asura, and they will deal with the extraterrestrial demons."
Chu Li nodded slowly.
He understood at once. Because the Rain Master Palace was the weakest, they were responsible for the Asura, which was not a huge threat. Moreover, the Rain Master Palace alone was not enough to deal with the Asura, so they dragged the lower realm into this mess.
"Then let's depart tomorrow. Chu Li, be prepared." Song Chengzhi said in a low voice, "When fighting with Asura, a single mistake and you will vanish into thin air, unable to reincarnate."
Chu Li nodded. "I'd like to return to the Lower Realm first. I'll be back tonight."
"Alright." Song Chengzhi gave him a deep look.
After he left with the small wooden box, the two Vice Hall Masters stared at his back until he disappeared.
Mo Heng said, "Hallmaster, will he not return?"
"No." Song Chengzhi shook his head.
Mo Heng sighed. "We all frown at the thought of going to the outer realms' slaughterfields, let alone someone who has never experienced it. It's too cruel. I'm afraid he'll shrink back at the last minute."
"Chu Li's guts are stronger than you think." Song Chengzhi shook his head and said, "You guys should also prepare well. This time, we will strive to severely injure Asura and avenge our dead disciples!"
Mo Heng and Fu Tianlei nodded solemnly.

Chu Li brought the remaining Star Stones back to the High Duke's Public House and noticed that there were no obstructions. He instantly let out a long sigh of relief. Since he could bring back the Star Stones, he could also bring back the other spirit herbs and pills.
After putting the things back in his courtyard, he went to see the three women and returned to the Outland late at night. He meditated until dawn and arrived at the White Dew Hall before dawn.
As the first rays of dawn appeared, the White Dew Hall was brightly lit.
All of the White Dew Hall's disciples were gathered in the martial arts field with solemn expressions. Song Chengzhi stood on the steps with a tense expression. His eyes were bright as he scanned the crowd and looked up at the sky.
Everyone had already gathered. They stood there motionlessly, and the air seemed to be filled with solemnity.
Song Chengzhi suddenly said, "Check the badge!"
Everyone took out their respective White Dew Badges and channeled inner energy into them. Instantly, a gentle light spread from the hall. Everyone sensed its existence and connected with it.
"If you feel that something is wrong, crush the jade pendant in a critical moment." Song Chengzhi said. "Remember, staying alive is more important than killing Asura!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Chu Li already knew the secret of the White Dew Badge.
With the White Dew Badge, he could sense the White Dew Hall and instantly teleport back to it. This was not difficult for Rank Two and Rank One Celestial Beings.
At the level of Rank Two Celestial Beings, they could teleport through the void as long as the location was accurate.
More importantly, after crushing the jade pendant, there was a strange power in the jade pendant that could protect the soul and return to the white jade statue in the White Dew Hall. From there, it could be reincarnated and prevent the soul from dispersing.
"Everyone," Song Chengzhi said in a low voice, "today is the day for us to make a name for ourselves. It's time for all of our hard work and training to be repaid. I won't say much about the rewards for killing the Asuras. Everyone knows that, so let's go!"
"Yes!" Everyone loudly responded, revealing excitement.
Everyone's figures became blurry and then disappeared into the void.
Song Chengzhi waved. "Chu Li, I'll bring you there!"
Chu Li nodded.
Song Chengzhi pressed on Chu Li's shoulder. In a flash, the light twisted and rotated. In another flash, they suddenly appeared in a courtyard.
Chu Li narrowed his eyes and the Omniscient Mirror instantly covered a radius of a hundred miles.
He was in a huge city, which should be Border Town. Although the city was not as prosperous as White Dew City, it was not as desolate as he imagined.
Clearly, the people here were quite confident that Asura could not kill their way here.
A hundred miles out of the city gate was a huge mountain range that looked like a giant dragon.
This mountain range towered into the clouds. The peak could not be seen because it was covered by white clouds as if it was isolated from all danger.
Chu Li felt a strange power from this mountain range that seemed to be able to warp the void.
Combining the Heavenly Star Insight Technique and the Omniscient Mirror, he instantly deduced that this mountain range could actually lock the void. In this mountain range, one could only use Light-body Technique but could not use divine power or Enlightened Masters' Void Shift.
The courtyard he was in was quite huge. It was the main hall of a mansion and there were more than one thousand and six hundred White Dew Hall disciples around it.
An old man as strong as a lion stepped out of the hall and came to the stairs. His tiger-like eyes swept across the crowd like cold lightning.
Song Chengzhi took a step forward and closed fist saluted. "Governor Zheng, White Dew Hall is here to report!"
Zheng Tianlong cupped his fists and said in a deep voice, "Hall Master Song, this time, the Asuras are ferocious and have destroyed three mountains in a row. Even Crouching Dragon Mountain is no longer safe. The City Guards House has already transferred two hundred city guards to provide support."
Song Chengzhi frowned and looked serious. "It's that dangerous?"
"This time, it's all up to you." Zheng Tianlong nodded slowly. "I can't split myself. Thank you, White Dew Hall!"
"We will not let Asura break through Crouching Dragon Mountain!" Song Chengzhi said.
"That's great." Zheng Tianlong said. "Let's have the welcoming banquet and celebration banquet together. I have prepared good wine and await your triumphant return!"
"Alright, then let's go!" Song Chengzhi closed fist saluted and turned to the crowd. "Let's go. One hundred people to a team, five to a small team. Do not split up!"
