Chu Li took a step in front of him and placed his palm in front of his forehead.
"Bam!" The two palms collided and a dull explosion was heard.
The surrounding trees rustled and leaves flew off the branches. The six towering ancient trees were all bare.
Song Chengzhi quickly grabbed Ni Zhenghua's wrist and shouted, "Elder Ni, what are you doing!"
Chu Li returned to Song Chengzhi's side and did not say a word.
Ni Zhenghua struggled but could not break free from Song Chengzhi's hand. He was still in a weak state after using his secret skill. He had used all his strength in that palm and could not break free again.
Song Chengzhi quickly asked, "What are you doing?"
"There were one thousand eight hundred and twenty-two brothers and now there are only three hundred and twelve left." Ni Zhenghua took a deep breath and said slowly, "I have no face to see Xia Yu Brothers again. I will die with my dead brothers!"
"Nonsense!" Song Chengzhi said, "The Summer Rain Clan is waiting for you to take charge. If you die, the remaining brothers will lose their morale!"
Chu Li said, "Clan Leader Ni, this is not your fault."
Ni Zhenghua looked at Chu Li and then at Song Chengzhi.
Song Chengzhi said, "Chu Li, Ji Dynasty's Chu Li."
"The Chu Li from the lower realm?" Ni Zhenghua looked at Chu Li and then at Song Chengzhi, "You …"
Song Chengzhi waved his hand and said, "We can't care about the ban at this time. The Rain Master Palace only said that they cannot take in Enlightened Masters who have ascended. Chu Li did not ascend so it is not against the rules."
"You …" Ni Zhenghua shook his head.
This was purposely taking advantage of loopholes and it was hard to stand. The Rain Master Palace Leader would not let him go and would settle the score sooner or later. It was not a wise move.
Song Chengzhi said, "I had no other choice. Without Chu Li, the White Dew Clan would not have a good ending."
"Sigh …" Ni Zhenghua sighed and still showed a stubborn expression, "I only hate myself for being useless and getting ambushed by Asura. Who can I blame? I can only blame myself as the Clan Leader for being useless and exhausting the army! "
Chu Li said, "Clan Leader Ni, there is a traitor in the Summer Rain Clan."
"Hmm — —?" Ni Zhenghua was stunned. His face darkened as he glared at Chu Li. "Impossible! The brothers in the hall will never betray us, much less join Asura! "
There was no need to worry about traitors in a war with Asura, because there could not be traitors. Asura would never believe in Celestials, and Celestials would not have a good ending if they surrendered to Asura.
Chu Li shook his head and said, "Everything is possible. Think about it, Clan Leader Ni. If there is no traitor, how can Asura surround us so precisely and avoid the Summer Rain Hall's alert?"
Ni Zhenghua opened his mouth and wanted to rebuke him, but no words came out. He revealed a thoughtful expression.
He had been thinking about how the Asuras were able to sneak up on him without a sound. Logically speaking, they all had keen instincts and sufficient vigilance, so it was impossible for them to sneak up on him without a sound.
Chu Li waved his hand in the air and said, "Those six are traitors."
Ni Zhenghua followed the direction of his finger and frowned. "Impossible!"
The place where Chu Li's finger was pointing was Deputy Clan Leader Xie Cheng.
Chu Li smiled. "Clan Leader Ni, it's impossible for them to join Asura, but what if they're not themselves, but Heavenly Demons?"
"Heavenly Demons?" Ni Zhenghua's expression changed slightly.
Song Chengzhi shook his head and smiled. "Chu Li, Heavenly Demons have not broken through to the Grandmaster's Boundary."
Chu Li asked, "Can't they come from the Asura's Boundary?"
"Impossible, Heavenly Demons and Asura are enemies too." Song Chengzhi shook his head.
Ni Zhenghua nodded. "Heavenly Demons and Asura are indeed enemies, they won't join forces."
Chu Li said, "Then they've joined forces this time."
"Heavenly Demons …" Ni Zhenghua glanced at the people who were recuperating over there. His expression was uncertain as he did not know if he should believe Chu Li.
This matter was too strange. The people he brought died for no reason, but Chu Li's explanation made sense. There was only one explanation, Heavenly Demons and Asura were enemies and had never joined forces.
Chu Li said, "Does Heavenly Demons have a way to identify them?"
"Heavenly Demons have no form, normal people can't identify them at all. The only way to get rid of Heavenly Demons is to use a Buddhist monk's sarira." Ni Zhenghua sighed. "A unique Buddhist secret technique is needed to activate the sarira in order to sense Heavenly Demons."
"Does Clan Leader Ni know about this secret technique?" Chu Li asked.
"I've learned it." Ni Zhenghua nodded.
Song Chengzhi said, "All the Clan Leaders of the Rain Master Palace have learned this secret technique, and all nine divisions know about this secret technique … Elder Ni, do you have the Buddhist monk's sarira?"
Ni Zhenghua nodded slowly.
The Buddhist monk's sarira was a must-have item for every Clan Leader. Although Heavenly Demons had not broken through the defense and entered the Grandmaster's Boundary, Heavenly Demons were hard to defend against, so it was still necessary to bring the Buddhist monk's sarira to defend against Heavenly Demons.
As he spoke, he took out a string of prayer beads and was about to activate the secret technique.
Chu Li said, "Clan Leader Ni, is this the Buddhist monk's sarira?"
Ni Zhenghua lowered his head to take a closer look and his face turned gloomy.
"Was it switched?" Song Chengzhi asked.
Ni Zhenghua nodded slowly, his face extremely gloomy.
The Buddhist monk's sarira was also a precious item. He had been carefully storing it, so normal people would not be able to come into contact with it. Only those closest to him could come into contact with it, so it was obvious who could switch his own Buddhist monk's sarira.
Song Chengzhi said, "Looks like you didn't fall for nothing, you've been planning this for a long time."
As he spoke, he took out a string of prayer beads and handed it over.
Only one of the prayer beads was the Buddhist monk's sarira, but it could not be seen from its appearance. The nine prayer beads were exactly the same, so it could only be seen by activating the secret technique.
Ni Zhenghua took a deep breath, took the prayer beads, and closed his eyes.
After a while, one of the prayer beads slowly lit up.
Ni Zhenghua opened his eyes, raised the prayer beads above his head, and threw them forward.
A ball of golden light shot towards the six people that Chu Li had pointed at.
"Bang!" With an explosion, the golden light split into six faintly discernible golden lights in the air. They were as hazy as fog, and shot towards the six people.
When the golden light touched the six people, their bodies emitted a faintly discernible black fog, and the golden light quickly disappeared.
Ni Zhenghua's face was extremely gloomy, and his eyes were like torches as he stared at the six people.
The six people who were recuperating opened their eyes and looked at Ni Zhenghua.
Ni Zhenghua turned to look at Chu Li. "Chu Li, you're right!"
Chu Li smiled and did not say anything else.
Ni Zhenghua said, "Elder Song, do me another favor, capture these six Heavenly Demons."
"No problem," Song Chengzhi said in a low voice. "This is a big matter, we must report it to the Rain Master Palace as soon as possible!"
Ni Zhenghua nodded slowly.
The Heavenly Demons and Asura colluded together, this was the worst news. The Rain Master Palace and the Elders Guild must know as soon as possible, so that they could come up with a countermeasure. Otherwise, they would be caught off guard, and more Devas would be destroyed like the Summer Rain Hall.
Song Chengzhi's figure flashed and shot into the distance. Chu Li said, "Clan Leader Ni, be careful, they'll die together."
Ni Zhenghua nodded. "They can't escape!"
Then, he shouted, "Xie Cheng, Zhao Fei …"
He summoned ten people in one go, including the six Heavenly Demons.
They approached with puzzled faces. Ni Zhenghua said, "Follow Chu Li to ask Clan Leader Song for a small favor."
Chu Li cooperated well with him, and waved his hand. "Clan Leader Ni, we don't need so many people, seven is enough, you don't have to trouble these three."
Chu Li stood among the ten people, separated the four Summer Rain Hall disciples, and stood next to Xie Cheng.
