Sun Mingyue glanced at Chu Li and pursed her lips. "Is he a formidable opponent?"
Chu Li shook his head.
"He's quite thoughtful," Sun Mingyue said in his mind.
Chu Li said, "He's hiding his cultivation level. He doesn't look that strong but he can't be underestimated. You must be careful when fighting him. He might have cultivated a sword technique similar to the Sky Killer Sword."
"The City of Ten Thousand Swords has nine swords. He might have cultivated one sword," Sun Mingyue said.
Chu Li said, "The Sky Killer Sword is powerful. Logically, the other eight swords won't be weak either but the Sovereign Descending Sword isn't that strong. It's hard to tell how strong it is since the White Dew Clan Leader has it. You must be careful not to fail miserably."
"This guy is shrewd. If you really want to get rid of him, it's better to do it early," Sun Mingyue said.
Chu Li shook his head and said in her mind, "Now is not the time. If I really kill him, I won't be able to keep my life."
He dared to fight more than ten Great Asuras but he was afraid of the power of a sect.
Although he was a top-notch existence among the supreme grade, the Sky Killer Sword was only one sword from the City of Ten Thousand Swords. He was afraid of the other swords. If he killed Guo Yingjie, the City of Ten Thousand Swords would definitely try to assassinate him.
He might not be able to withstand the City of Ten Thousand Swords' desperate assassination. Killing Guo Yingjie was different from taking back the Sky Killer Sword. When he became stronger, dealing with the City of Ten Thousand Swords would be a piece of cake.
Now, he had to think about how to enter Taihao Peak.
Sun Mingyue nodded. "Why don't I kill him?"
Chu Li shook his head. "Forget it."
Sun Mingyue had the support of Great Light Surpassing Land so she was not afraid of the City of Ten Thousand Swords. However, if Guo Yingjie died, the two sects would definitely go to war. He could not bear to see so many innocent people die.
Sun Mingyue sighed and nodded.
While the two were talking in their minds, Guo Yingjie had already mingled with the sixteen youths. He sat in the middle of them and chatted happily as if they were old friends. Chu Li was ashamed of his ability to make people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze.
Zheng Yueming and Deng Tianlun stared at them disdainfully and snorted. They only stopped when Sun Mingyue glanced at them.
They were extremely arrogant as well, but when Sun Mingyue shot them an indifferent glance, they immediately quieted down and obediently shut up.
Sun Mingyue's cultivation level was higher than theirs, and she had developed a strong aura from being a bishop for many years. When she was in front of Chu Li, she would occasionally release her aura, which was enough to suppress them.
As time passed by, the two disciples of Wang Qing Cliff began to get busy. They kept luring people over and occupied the ice blocks one by one. Everyone consciously distanced themselves from Chu Li and the others.
Their actions were purely subconscious. An invisible force was affecting them, so Chu Li and the others were not disturbed.
One by one, Rank-1 or Superior-ranked young experts appeared at the top of the cliff. By nightfall, there were already more than a hundred people there.
Moreover, people kept coming over.
Chu Li ignored these people and focused on the Heaven's Scroll of Indifference, refusing to give up.
He had always been researching on how to break through the invisible protective force. Could he succeed in the Life and Death Scripture? What about the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture? What about that little critter? Or perhaps the other mystical arts in his mind?
Although the East is not bright, the West is bright, there must be one that is useful.
He hung all of his martial arts on the Life and Death Tree, then his aura completely disappeared. He was like a person who did not know martial arts. Then, he untied the mystical arts one by one from the Life and Death Tree, circulating one at a time, trying to comprehend the Heaven's Scroll of Indifference.
After trying one by one, he did not gain anything. The Heaven's Scroll of Indifference was protected by an invisible force and could not be touched. It was like trying to push open a door but could not open it.
Xue Luoyu suddenly said, "The people from Heaven Shake Pavilion are here!"
Chu Li's gaze immediately shifted away from the cliff and looked over.
Two disciples of Wang Qing Cliff floated down, followed by a tall, handsome young man in a loose robe. His slender figure and cold face were the same as Zhao Haiyuan's.
The two disciples of Wang Qing Cliff whispered a few words to him. He waved his hand and dismissed the two disciples. Then, his cold gaze slowly swept across the crowd, his disdainful aura intimidating everyone.
Chu Li's gaze was cold as he suppressed his anger.
Although this young man was also a disciple of Heaven Shake Pavilion, he was not Zhao Haiyuan. He should not vent his anger on him.
"Heaven Shake Pavilion's Sun Jingzong!" He cupped his long sleeves and said in a low voice, his voice ringing in everyone's ears.
Everyone fist saluted.
Beneath Great Sky Peak, the Heaven Shaking Pavilion was the leader, and they could command the seven divisions. It could be said that their authority was unparalleled. As a disciple of the Heaven Shaking Pavilion, not only were their martial arts profound, they were even more skilled in scheming. This last point was what they feared the most.
Sun Jingzong's gaze fell on Xue Luoyu. "The Ninth Princess of the Rain Master Palace?"
Xue Luoyu stood up and said, "Young Master Sun."
Sun Jingzong's gaze fell on Chu Li. "Chu Li?"
Chu Li fist saluted without saying a word.
Sun Jingzong said, "Master's Junior Zhao once praised you in the sect. He said that your martial arts are rare and that there are only a few people in the Grandmaster's Boundary who are your match."
Chu Li said coldly, "You flatter me!"
Sun Jingzong shook his head. "Master's Junior Zhao never exaggerates. He mostly criticizes. You're the first person he praised."
Chu Li said, "I'm not worthy of praise. The ones who should be praised are the White Dew Hall's dead brothers!"
Sun Jingzong narrowed his eyes. "Are you blaming Master's Junior Zhao for his poor command?"
Chu Li scoffed. "As a disciple of White Dew Hall, how would I dare to complain!"
Sun Jingzong looked at him. "Master's Junior Zhao's divination skills are top-notch in the sect. If it were anyone else, the result would only be worse. Heaven Shake Pavilion isn't an omnipotent deity."
"If I didn't cripple the Heavenly Heart Technique, I could've avoided that loss," Chu Li said coldly. "Unfortunately, he forced me to cripple the Heavenly Heart Technique and put the White Dew Hall's brothers in danger."
"Is the Heavenly Heart Technique you're cultivating stronger than our Void Visualization Technique?" Sun Jingzong said disapprovingly. "You overestimate yourself and blame yourself too much. Even if you didn't cripple the Heavenly Heart Technique, you would've fallen into the enemy's trap. They used treasured weapons, Great Asura, and Great Heavenly Demon, so the outcome was predetermined. However, because of you, the White Dew Hall didn't get annihilated. It's a blessing in disguise."
Chu Li's face darkened. "Why?"
"To eliminate Master's Junior Zhao." Sun Jingzong said, "Unfortunately, God disposes. Because of you, they didn't succeed and won't have another chance."
Chu Li said coldly, "In that case, I've become Zhao Haiyuan's benefactor?"
"Master's Junior Zhao said he owes you a favor," Sun Jingzong said.
Chu Li said, "You flatter me!"
Sun Jingzong smiled. "You might not know how big a favor Master's Junior Zhao owes you. Tell him, Ninth Princess."
Xue Luoyu said, "Of course Chu Li knows."
Sun Jingzong looked at Sun Mingyue. "Miss Sun is a disciple of Great Light Surpassing State. She should go over there."
He pointed at Guo Yingjie from the City of Ten Thousand Swords.
Xue Luoyu quickly said, "Miss Sun is a friend of mine and Chu Li's. Of course, she should sit together."
She quickly gave Chu Li a look, signaling him not to get angry.
