Qin Mengyun came in a hurry. She would not be joking with him, so it must be true.
He did not ask how she got the information, but he had a better understanding of the Dancing Butterfly Sect's intelligence. He pondered and asked, "Have they made their move?"
"They'll probably make their move soon." Qin Mengyun said, "I'll inform you as soon as I receive the news, lest the Hidden Peaks are defenseless and Mystery Heart Sect takes advantage of it."
Chu Li nodded. "Thank you."
Qin Mengyun took off her veil and revealed her beautiful face. She shook her head. "It's nothing. If I don't tell you about this, I'll be ashamed."
Chu Li said, "I'll report to the sect leader personally. Follow me to see him."
Qin Mengyun shook her head. "I'll only tell you, Big Brother Wu. I won't see your sect leader. I'll take my leave first."
Chu Li hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Miss Qin, can you help me find out which sects are working with Asura and why? I think there are many secrets hidden in this."
"Asura …" Qin Mengyun frowned.
She did not have a good impression of Asura and felt an inexplicable hostility toward them.
Chu Li said, "It's best not to let anyone know and investigate secretly."
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it." Qin Mengyun nodded. "I'll go now."
Chu Li gave her a fist salute.
Qin Mengyun put on her veil. Chu Li pulled her sleeve and disappeared from the courtyard. The next moment, he appeared in the forest at the foot of the mountain. Qin Mengyun glanced at him with her bright eyes before she nodded and disappeared.
Chu Li looked at the direction where she disappeared and sighed. There was still a trace of her fragrance in the air.
He disappeared again and soon appeared outside the basilica of the Flying Heaven Sect. He gave a fist salute to the two young men standing outside the basilica. "I'd like to see the sect leader."
"Come in." Zhao Lingfeng's voice came from inside the basilica.
Chu Li walked up the steps and entered the basilica. He gave a fist salute to Zhao Lingfeng who was sitting in front of the table. "Sect leader, I've received news that Mystery Heart Sect is preparing to attack our Hidden Peaks."
Zhao Lingfeng was dressed in a green robe. His back was straight and he looked strong. He was calmly flipping through the dossiers. When he looked up at Chu Li, his bright eyes seemed to be able to see through his heart.
"The hermit peaks?" Zhao Lingfeng smiled. "They can't possibly know where the hermit peaks are."
Chu Li said, "The Profound Heart Sect is currently making preparations. It's obvious that they know of a certain place. … Sect Leader, do you think that they're deliberately mystifying us so that we can take action to lure them there?"
Zhao Lingfeng smiled and said, "It is impossible for them to know where the hermit peaks are. Only the elders and I know."
Those elders almost never left the sect, so there was no chance for the Profound Heart Sect to pry the location of the hermit peaks from their mouths. Therefore, the Profound Heart Sect must be deliberately mystifying things. The truth was fake, and the fake was real.
Chu Li said, "I'm just afraid that they'll really find it."
"That's fine." Zhao Lingfeng said, "The Hermit Peaks' defensive formation is not something that they can break. It is already foolproof. Unless they bring all the elders with them, they will only have a glimmer of hope."
Chu Li nodded slowly.
Since Zhao Lingfeng said so, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, he could not force Zhao Lingfeng to make a move.
Furthermore, the Profound Heart Sect was really willing to let them lead the way. Stopping them with silence was also an option.
Of course, if it were him, he would not have done so.
"Yuan Si, this time, you've managed to stop the Profound Heart Sect and the Heavenly Wind Sect from joining hands. You've done a great service, and it's extremely rare." Zhao Lingfeng smiled as he looked at him. "The sect will reward you handsomely."
Chu Li shook his head and said, "Sect Leader, I already have the Flying Demon Technique, but I haven't mastered it yet. I don't really need any spirit pills or medicine."
Zhao Lingfeng said, "The Flying Demon Technique is not that easy to cultivate. Otherwise, I would personally guide you in cultivating it for a month."
"Thank you, Sect Leader!" Chu Li was overjoyed.
Zhao Lingfeng said, "You'll have to wait for a while."
Chu Li quickly nodded.
Zhao Lingfeng's cultivation level was profound. Chu Li felt a huge pressure when he was in front of him. Even if he displayed his original cultivation level, he was still far from Zhao Lingfeng's.
There must be other antique studies that he did not know about. It was probably not the Flying Demon Technique, but his current level was not high enough to cultivate it.
If he could get Zhao Lingfeng's personal guidance, not only would he gain martial arts, but he would also gain prestige.
With Zhao Lingfeng's guidance, he would become Zhao Lingfeng's direct disciple. Everyone would have a feeling that he would become the sect leader in the future, as long as nothing happened to him.
This kind of power would be of great help to him in the future, and there would be less resistance.
Zhao Lingfeng said, "Alright, then you can go. Be careful and don't go out, or else you'll be ambushed by the Profound Heart Sect."
Chu Li nodded and fist saluted.

Chu Li immersed himself in cultivating the Cloud Slashing Power and the Coalescence Sword Technique. Once again, he lost track of time.
After cultivating the Cloud Slashing Power Technique, he once again entered a state of rapid advancement. His cultivation level increased greatly. Even though it did not double, it still increased by thirty percent. To him now, thirty percent was already an astonishing improvement.
At noon, he was cultivating the Coalescence Sword Technique in the courtyard when Hu Tianlai came again.
Chu Li sheathed the Unnamed Sword and fist saluted.
Hu Tianlai's face was gloomy. He sat by the stone table and sighed. "Yuan Si, you still don't know?"
Chu Li asked, "What is it?"
"The Hermit Peaks have been breached," Hu Tianlai said. "We lost twenty-three disciples."
Chu Li frowned. "How is that possible?"
Hu Tianlai scoffed. "A disciple of the Profound Heart Sect sneaked in. Damn it, I must avenge him!"
Chu Li said, "That's impossible. The Hermit Peaks should have strict checks. How could a disciple of the Profound Heart Sect sneak in? "
"There's a traitor!" Hu Tianlai said coldly. "There's a traitor among our young disciples. It's impossible to guard against it. The elders of the Hermit Peaks were too careless and thought they were foolproof!"
Chu Li fell silent.
The truth was fake, and the fake was real. This time, the Profound Heart Sect was fake. The sect leader had miscalculated.
Hu Tianlai said, "You got the news from the Dancing Butterfly Sect, right?"
Chu Li said, "It's hard to distinguish the authenticity of this news. They might have deliberately released it. It's impossible to guard against it."
Hu Tianlai sighed. "This time, we have no choice but to fight. Yuan Si, you should leave."
Chu Li was startled. "Master's Junior, what do you mean?"
"It's not good to stay in a dangerous place. You should go to the Grandmaster's Boundary," Hu Tianlai said.
Chu Li laughed. "How can I run away in the face of danger? This is the time to work together to fight against outsiders. Master's Junior, you don't have to say anymore!"
Hu Tianlai said, "He Ming is dead. If something happens to you, there's no hope for your generation of disciples. The sect leader doesn't want to have no successors. You're our seed."
Chu Li shook his head. "If I'm gone, younger disciples will emerge. It's impossible for me to leave now. Master's Junior, you don't have to say anymore!"
"You …" Hu Tianlai shook his head. "You're so silly!"
Chu Li smiled. "It's not a good thing to be too smart."
"… Alright, I'll convey your message to the sect leader." Hu Tianlai nodded slowly. "Don't go out for a while. It's too chaotic."
Chu Li said, "Are we going to take revenge?"
Hu Tianlai nodded slowly.
Chu Li said, "I'll go with you."
