"I want to bring him back." Sun Mingyue furrowed her brows and said, "Let's examine the wounds and determine which sect did it … Although it might not be of much use, at least we have a clue."
"Yes." Chu Li said, "It's usually a case of framing."
"The elders in the realm will seriously consider it." Sun Mingyue shook her head and said, "This has nothing to do with us. It's already hard enough to find her."
As she spoke, she gently waved her hand, and the woman's corpse floated up. The two strings of beads floated into her hand, and she handed them to him.
Chu Li took the two strings of beads and observed them carefully.
There were nine Buddhist beads, and all of them were Sarira, which made him speechless at the extravagance. Usually, it was already rare to have one Sarira in a Buddhist bead.
This relic contained extremely pure Buddhist energy. The owner of this relic was an esteemed monk with a profound understanding of the Buddhist Dharma when he was alive.
The other string of White Bone Beads was as warm as jade, carrying an ice-cold power. His mind couldn't help but become clear, and then he was filled with boundless courage. It was as if he could face all difficulties and dangers, fearlessly advancing forward.
He could sense that this string of White Bone Beads was also a treasure that was not inferior to a Sarira.
"It's very likely to be the Great Heavenly Demon Bone," Sun Mingyue said.
She placed one hand on the woman's corpse and said softly, "Let's go back."
"Let's go." Chu Li nodded.
The two of them suddenly disappeared and returned to Great Light Surpassing Domain.
Sun Mingyue took the two strings of beads from Chu Li and disappeared again.
Chu Li arrived at the pavilion on top of the stone tower. Facing the gentle night breeze, he thought about what he had seen earlier.
After a quarter of an hour, Sun Mingyue suddenly appeared. She smiled and said, "Master asked me to thank you."
Chu Li shook his head. "Unfortunately, I wasn't able to retrieve the Great Light Scripture."
"Those are just copies of Buddhist scriptures." Sun Mingyue said, "It's not a big loss to us. It'll just be a little troublesome if it gets out. However, it's not the entire Great Light Scripture. It's only the second volume, so it's not that serious."
Chu Li said, "I think there's something fishy about this … What exactly is that string of white bone beads?"
"The Great Heavenly Demonic Orb," Sun Mingyue said. "It's the orb left behind by the Great Heavenly Demon when he passed away."
"I've never seen it before." Chu Li shook his head.
Sun Mingyue smiled. "The Great Heavenly Demonic Orb is even rarer than a Sarira. Its magical effects are not inferior to a Sarira."
Chu Li said, "Since the Great Heavenly Demonic Orb is involved, could it be the Heavenly Demon's doing? … That was all she had? Bring some personal belongings over, preferably hair and the like. "
Sun Mingyue frowned. "You suspect that it's the work of the Heavenly Demon?"
Chu Li said, "I have to be on guard."
"Alright." Sun Mingyue nodded lightly and suddenly disappeared.
After a while, she came back with a package and a small box.
Opening the package, he found a few pieces of women's undergarments, a small box containing some jewelry and a few strands of hair.
"Is this enough?" Sun Mingyue asked.
Chu Li nodded and took the clothes one by one, then checked the accessories and hair. His face was already a little pale. The All-Seeing Divine Power consumed a lot of energy. After using it so many times, it was almost at its limit.
Sun Mingyue looked at his expression and said worriedly, "Let's try again tomorrow. One more day won't make a difference!"
Chu Li shook his head and continued to investigate.
After a long while, his face turned pale. He closed his eyes and thought for a while before sighing, "There are indeed two auras, not one person."
"Is it the Heavenly Demon?" Sun Mingyue asked.
Chu Li nodded slowly.
Sun Mingyue's expression was solemn.
The Great Light Scripture originated from Buddhism. Not only could it restrain Asuras, it could also restrain Heavenly Demons. Just like water and fire, if one's cultivation level was higher than the Heavenly Demon's, they could suppress the Heavenly Demon to the point of suffocation. This was a great advantage.
The Heavenly Demonic Power was amazing. Even if the Devas' cultivation level was higher than the Heavenly Demon's, they would be helpless against the Heavenly Demonic Power. This was different for the disciples of the Surpassing Light State. Once their cultivation level was higher, they could completely suppress the Heavenly Demon.
Once the Great Light Scripture was obtained by the Heavenly Demon and its weakness was discovered, the Surpassing Light State would be in a lot of trouble.
Chu Li said, "If other sects were infiltrated by the Heavenly Demon, it would be forgivable. But how could the Heavenly Demon infiltrate the Surpassing Light State without a trace? Is there nothing in the realm that can restrain the Heavenly Demon? "
"There is." Sun Mingyue nodded lightly. "It's said that the Surpassing Light State's formation can distinguish the Heavenly Demon."
Chu Li frowned. "There's such a formation?"
"The Surpassing Light State's formation was built by the ancestors' self-sacrifice. It contains the mighty power of the Great Light Scripture. Once the Heavenly Demon approaches it, it will be attacked by the Great Light Flame and burned to death," Sun Mingyue said.
Chu Li said, "Even so, the Heavenly Demon still managed to infiltrate the formation."
Sun Mingyue sighed. "This is a very serious matter. I need to report it to the sect."
Chu Li shook his head. "It's useless. There's no evidence unless we find the Heavenly Demon."
"Can you find it?" Sun Mingyue quickly asked.
Chu Li nodded. "I can try."
Sun Mingyue quickly said, "Then we'll look for it tomorrow. You should rest first."
She looked at Chu Li's pale face and could not help but feel sorry for him. She wanted to hug him and comfort him.
Chu Li smiled and nodded. "Alright, I'll look for it tomorrow. I'm more confident."

The next morning, Chu Li woke up in the attic of the stone tower.
The attic was elegantly built. As he lay on the bed, his ears were filled with the sounds of insects and birds in the forest. He felt exceptionally peaceful and slept soundly.
Sun Mingyue did not sleep in the attic last night, so the two of them were safe.
Chu Li was too tired last night, so he did not leave. Void Diversion was very exhausting. Moreover, Xiao Qi was already in Isolated Cultivation, so it was not appropriate to disturb her. Thus, he simply stayed here. After one night, he had completely recovered and was full of energy.
The air was exceptionally fresh. After he woke up, he went to Sun Mingyue's courtyard to wash up.
After the two of them had breakfast, they suddenly appeared in a small town.
The Outland was bustling, but there were not many small towns like this. It was obvious that it was located in a remote area.
They saw a middle-aged man in a residence in the small town. He was bedridden as if he was a candle in the wind and could die at any time.
"That's him?" Sun Mingyue was surprised.
The two of them were standing on top of the wall and looking into the bedroom through the open window.
Chu Li nodded.
"Are you sure?" Sun Mingyue said, "This is a man!"
Chu Li said, "It's him."
Sun Mingyue hesitated for a moment before slowly nodding. "Then take him down."
She appeared in front of the bed in a flash and extended her hand to seal the acupuncture point of the middle-aged man. Her body tensed up in preparation for a counterattack.
"Bang!" An invisible force attacked and the middle-aged man's movements became sluggish. Sun Mingyue immediately sealed his acupuncture point and his eyes widened in anger.
Sun Mingyue turned to look at Chu Li and shook her head with a smile.
She knew that this was the Sword of Oblivion. It was indeed powerful, especially when it was invisible and difficult to sense. It was the best way to sneak up on someone and never missed.
After sealing the middle-aged man's acupuncture point, Sun Mingyue glanced around the room.
Chu Li shook his head. "Nothing."
He knew what Sun Mingyue was looking for. He looked at the middle-aged man and asked calmly, "Where's the Great Light Scripture?"
The middle-aged man could not speak at all as all his acupuncture points were sealed.
Chu Li reached into his chest and pulled out a string of White Bone Beads. After putting it in his sleeve, he asked again, "Where's the Great Light Scripture?"
The middle-aged man did not move.
