Zhao Haiyuan's cultivation level was shocking. He was at the top of the Supreme Class and was only slightly weaker than Chu Li.
Zhao Haiyuan should know that Chu Li's martial arts was inferior to Chu Li's but he still came to assassinate Chu Li. This was a waste of time. Heaven Shaking Tower always acted with a purpose.
Chu Li pondered.
He possessed the Heavenly Star Void Insight Art and had also absorbed enough Star Stones. He could isolate himself from others' deductions and escape from the mysteries of heaven. Zhao Haiyuan should not be able to deduce his movements and might not know that he was the one he was dealing with.
In that case, Zhao Haiyuan could not predict him. That was why they encountered each other. Zhao Haiyuan also knew that he could not defeat Chu Li. He did not want to humiliate himself and acted decisively.
"That should be Heaven Shaking Tower's Destiny Finger." Xue Luoyu frowned.
She could not feel the finger energy approaching and it was invisible. It should be Heaven Shaking Tower's Destiny Finger. It was a higher level martial art than the Rain Master Palace and could suppress the Rain Master Palace.
If she faced it herself, she might not be able to block the Destiny Finger. Chu Li was able to block it so easily. He was indeed Chu Li.
Chu Li nodded. "If I'm not wrong, it should be Zhao Haiyuan!"
"Zhao Haiyuan?" Xue Luoyu frowned and scoffed. "He should be participating in the Sword Conference of Forgetfulness."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. "He's not even thirty?"
"Not yet," Xue Luoyu said. "He's a young talent of Heaven Shaking Tower. He's twenty-eight this year."
"Hey, this talent!" Chu Li's face darkened.
He was dissatisfied with Zhao Haiyuan. Although Zhao Haiyuan was responsible and took the initiative to fight after being schemed against, it could not make up for the fact that he killed more than a thousand White Dew Clan disciples.
Zhao Haiyuan could not absolve himself from the blame for the incompetence of a general who exhausted the entire army.
"What happened last time was his fault." Xue Luoyu shook her head. "But to Heaven Shaking Tower, it's not a big deal. Everyone makes mistakes. Other than the Rain Master Palace, no one will blame him."
Chu Li frowned. "Heaven Shaking Tower can command the other seven divisions?"
"Yes." Xue Luoyu nodded. "Other than Heaven Peak, they can command the other seven divisions."
"Then, doesn't everyone hold a grudge against the Heaven Shaking Tower?" Chu Li asked.
Xue Luoyu shook her head. "Chu Li, you're only looking at the mistakes he's made. In fact, the Heaven Shaking Pavilion rarely makes mistakes. Most of the time, they're able to defeat stronger opponents and achieve a great victory. The Heaven Shaking Pavilion's contributions can't go unnoticed as they've been able to resist the Heavenly Demons and Asuras all these years. Their prestige is extremely high."
Chu Li nodded thoughtfully.
It looked like their White Dew Hall was unlucky, encountering a time when the Heaven Shaking Tower was in the wrong.
Xue Luoyu said, "Look on the bright side. The Heaven Shaking Tower didn't do it on purpose. It's just that man proposes, God disposes. Who told Asura to send out even more powerful people?"
Chu Li sighed. "I can't forgive my brothers who lost their lives."
What he cared about even more was Zhao Haiyuan's attitude of not taking human lives seriously. Zhao Haiyuan treated human lives like ants, and he was indifferent and arrogant. Even if he'd caused the death of so many White Dew Hall disciples, he didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt.
Xue Luoyu said, "Everyone has their own fate. Who in the martial arts world can have a good end?"
Chu Li glanced at her.
Xue Luoyu said faintly, "It's the same for me. Although my identity is different, I'm still in danger. I'm ranked ninth, but do you know that my brothers and sisters are no longer around?"
Chu Li was stunned.
He really didn't know about this.
Xue Luoyu said, "In the eyes of others, as the daughter of the Temple Leader, you must have a lot of Protectors and be protected tightly, safe and secure."
Chu Li nodded slowly.
Xue Luoyu scoffed softly. "Unfortunately, no matter how tight the Protectors are, it's useless."
Chu Li sighed. "If that's the case, it's really rare that the Temple Leader allowed you to participate in the Sword Meet of Forgetfulness."
Xue Luoyu shook her head. "Father is in isolated cultivation, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to let me participate."
Chu Li smiled bitterly. "The Temple Leader will definitely not forgive me when he comes out."
"It's better to rely on yourself than others. Relying on Protectors is never as good as relying on your own martial arts." Xue Luoyu said faintly, "I want to enter Tai Hao Peak. Only then will I truly have the ability to protect myself. Otherwise, I'll forever be useless."
Chu Li suddenly said, "The Ninth Princess wants to inherit the Temple Leader's position, right?"
Xue Luoyu looked at him and nodded slowly. Her bright eyes flickered with a threatening light that could move one's soul.
Chu Li sighed inwardly. Another Sun Mingyue.
It was obvious that Xue Luoyu was also under a great deal of pressure. It was a pressure she placed on herself and she did not want to disappoint her father.
"Will the Rain Master let a woman be the Temple Leader?" Chu Li shook his head. "I think it'll be very difficult."
"Where there's a will, there's a way." Xue Luoyu said, "As long as my martial arts is strong enough, they have no choice but to obey."
Chu Li could not help but laugh. "Just like me, no matter how strong my martial arts is, it's impossible for me to enter the upper echelons of the Rain Master Temple."
"Chu Li, if I can become the Temple Leader, I'll let you be the Deputy Temple Leader. What do you think?" Xue Luoyu said.
Chu Li smiled. "Is this a deal?"
The two of them chatted as they sped forward. The surrounding trees and rocks flew past them.
"It's a deal!" Xue Luoyu said.
Chu Li smiled. "Alright, then it's a deal."
Xue Luoyu was quite a scheming person. He did not mind helping her since she was somewhat similar to Sun Mingyue, but he wanted to be the Temple Leader himself. Unfortunately, it was almost impossible for him to do so.
However, if Xue Luoyu became the Temple Leader, as the Deputy Temple Leader, as long as Xue Luoyu relied on him, he could influence her decision.
Xue Luoyu said, "As a woman, the first step for me to become the Temple Leader is Taihao Peak. Only by becoming a disciple of Taihao Peak will I be qualified to become the Temple Leader. Otherwise, I won't be able to succeed."
Chu Li nodded. "Are you confident?"
"No." Xue Luoyu shook her head. "There are so many young talents in the world, I'm not confident at all. You can't help me with this, but no matter what, the most important thing is to arrive at the Cliff of Forgetfulness safely."
"Don't worry, we'll make it." Chu Li smiled.
As they spoke, three figures floated out of the forest and formed a triangle in front of them. They were three elders in black robes. Their faces were gloomy and they held long swords in their hands like spirit snakes.
The swords swayed gently and emitted a cold light as if they were about to leave their hands and shoot toward Chu Li and Xue Luoyu.
Xue Luoyu frowned. "The City of Ten Thousand Swords?"
Chu Li sighed. "They might be targeting me."
"Guo Yingjie from the City of Ten Thousand Swords will also participate in the Sword Meet of Forgetfulness," Xue Luoyu said.
Chu Li smiled. They were acquaintances.
"Chu Li, hand over the Sky Killer Sword!" The round-faced elder in front spoke slowly with a cold voice. He did not look at Xue Luoyu and only stared at Chu Li. His eyes were emotionless as if he was looking at a dead man.
Chu Li sighed. "Do it."
"You can't escape!" The round-faced elder said slowly.
Chu Li smiled and unsheathed his sword.
He had nothing to say to the City of Ten Thousand Swords. He could kill anyone who came, but they were here to kill him.
Xue Luoyu said, "They're really here for you. Be careful of their swords."
Chu Li nodded slightly and stared at the three long swords that seemed to have a life of their own. "What swords are these?"
"Spirit Snake Sword," Xue Luoyu said. "It's said that they're forged with the blood of a spirit snake. They're incredibly fast and impossible to defend against."
"Swoosh!" The three cold lights instantly appeared in front of Chu Li. It was indeed impossible to defend against.
