Chu Li tactfully retreated and left the basilica with Hu Tianlai.
Out of curiosity, he followed Hu Tianlai closely.
Young disciples would occasionally pass by and greet them.
Chu Li smiled as he fist saluted Hu Tianlai and followed him into the basilica. He sat on an armchair in the basilica and smiled. "Master's Junior, what's going on? Does Sect Leader Huang know the sect leader? "
"Haven't you heard?" Hu Tianlai turned to look at him.
Chu Li shook his head.
Hu Tianlai said, "Forget it then. The sect leader won't forgive me if I talk behind his back."
Chu Li immediately showed a helpless expression. "Master's Junior, I'm just saying a few words. I'm not talking bad about the sect leader."
"It's better not to talk about this." Hu Tianlai shook his head and smiled. "Hurry up and go back. Don't worry, he won't let you go out and be a bait. I think you're mistaken."
Chu Li smiled embarrassedly. "Of course I'm afraid of death, especially if it's a suicide mission. I'm not that stupid to go even though I know the situation is bad!"
"That's good." Hu Tianlai said, "You should go back and cultivate. You won't have a good time in the future. The Flying Heaven Sect can only survive by fighting head-on."
Chu Li smiled. "I'm least afraid of fighting, but what's the relationship between the sect leader and Sect Leader Huang? Will it work if I plead? "
"Who knows, but I'll have to try." Hu Tianlai scoffed. "I don't know Sect Leader Huang's temper either. Only the sect leader knows her. Unfortunately …"
As he spoke, he shook his head with a sorrowful expression.
Chu Li became more curious. "Is Sect Leader Huang a woman?"
"You don't even know that?" Hu Tianlai laughed.
Chu Li said, "I really don't know if she's a man or a woman. I don't think anyone mentioned it."
"That's true." Hu Tianlai nodded.
Chu Li smiled. "Since she's a woman, does she have a romantic relationship with the sect leader?"
"I didn't say that," Hu Tianlai quickly said as he turned to look at the basilica.
Chu Li knew that he was right when he saw how Hu Tianlai was trying to cover it up. "Did they hate each other because of love?"
"It can't be considered hate." Hu Tianlai shook his head and said, "Only the Sect Master and Sect Master Huang know what it is like. We outsiders don't know, but …"
As he said this, he closed his mouth again.
Chu Li hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Master's Junior. I won't tell anyone!"
"Sect Master did cause a ruckus once when he was young." Hu Tianlai sighed and said, "The two of them were prepared to live in seclusion deep in the mountains and not care about the affairs of the world. However, the previous Sect Master suddenly suffered from Qi Deviation while cultivating. Before he died, he begged the Sect Master. The Sect Master could only agree to take over the position of Sect Master. Sect Master Huang also took over the position of Profound Heart Sect's Sect Master."
Chu Li said, "Sect Leader Huang must hate the Sect Leader and feel that the Sect Leader is unfaithful."
"Sigh … Who knows." Hu Tianlai said, "It's hard for outsiders to understand the feelings between men and women."
"If the Sect Master personally pleads for leniency, it might not be of any use." Chu Li shook his head and said, "Sect Leader Huang hates Sect Master for betraying her. If Sect Master goes to plead for her, she'll be even more furious and become even worse."
"Then she might be soft-hearted and not go against us." Hu Tianlai said.
Chu Li could not help but laugh. "With the three sects joining forces, it's already too late. If Sect Leader Huang stops now, how will she face the other two sects?"
"If she really wants to, there's always a way." Hu Tianlai said, "Sect Leader Huang's methods are extremely powerful."
Chu Li slowly nodded. "It seems like the Sect Leader won't go."
"Sigh … Anyone would be in a difficult position." Hu Tianlai shook his head and said, "The Sect Leader must feel guilty towards Sect Leader Huang."
"If she feels guilty, why would she go against the Profound Heart Sect?" Chu Li smiled and shook his head. "That doesn't make sense."
Hu Tianlai said, "That can't be helped. She had no choice but to do so … In any case, don't think too much about it. Just focus on your cultivation!"
Chu Li said, "Then I'll start my Isolated Cultivation. Just get someone to send me a meal."
"Alright." Hu Tianlai nodded.
Chu Li fist saluted and left the Dark Temple, returning to his courtyard.
He sat by the stone table and shook his head with a smile. He did not expect Zhao Lingfeng and Huang Tianyi to have such an emotional entanglement. He did not know if this was a blessing or a curse, but it might be able to stop the war between the two sects.
Zhao Lingfeng was a man who prioritized his sect, so he did not care about his pride. He would definitely meet Huang Tianyi, but he did not know how deep Huang Tianyi's hatred for him was and whether Zhao Lingfeng would resolve her resentment.
Huang Tianyi was more intelligent than others, so she would not be easily appeased.

An old man slowly walked out from the Profound Heart Sect's mountain gate. He was thin, had a slightly purple face, and his eyes were bright. He wore a green robe and looked solemn. No one dared to underestimate him.
As soon as he appeared, two young men in white appeared in front of him. They fist saluted and said, "This is the mountain gate of the Profound Heart Sect."
The old man in the green robe took out a jade pendant, looked at it, and slowly handed it over. "Give this to the Sect Leader."
One of the young men in white frowned at him and slowly nodded. "Okay, please wait."
He originally wanted to refuse as the Sect Leader was not someone anyone could meet. Plus, with his status, he would not be able to hand it over to the Sect Leader. However, looking at the old man's serious expression and intimidating aura, it was obvious that he was someone of high status. Hence, he gave up on the idea and wanted to hand it over to the elder in charge of greeting guests.
Just as he was about to leave, the old man in the green robe suddenly said, "Wait!"
The young man in white turned around and looked at him.
The old man in the green robe said in a low voice, "Be careful, don't damage this jade pendant!"
"Don't worry!" The young man in white nodded and disappeared into the void.
The remaining young man in white sized up the old man in the green robe, not daring to underestimate him. To be able to come to the sect so openly and say that he wanted to meet the Sect Leader, he was definitely not an ordinary person. It would be best not to offend him. If he were to say anything in front of the Sect Leader, he would suffer.
After a while, a purple-robed old man stepped out of the void and arrived before the old man in the green robe. He sized him up and said slowly, "Follow me!"
"Thank you!" The old man in the green robe fist saluted.
The purple-robed old man shook his head and did not ask any more questions.
The old man in the green robe stretched out his sleeve and let the purple-robed old man grab it. The two of them suddenly disappeared in a flash and entered the sect's array.
The two of them floated up the wide stone path until they reached the main hall at the top of the mountain. The purple-robed old man said slowly, "Go in, the Sect Leader is waiting for you inside."
The old man in the green robe fist saluted and walked up the stairs step by step.
The purple-robed old man squinted his eyes and looked at the old man's back. He stood there with his hands behind his back.
The old man in the green robe walked up the 23 steps and entered the main hall.
A woman was standing in front of the tall window of the main hall with her hands behind her back. Her apricot yellow gown fluttered in the wind, but it could not hide her graceful figure. She was about 30 years old, beautiful and refined, as if she did not belong to the mortal world.
She was looking out the window without moving. The sunlight shone on her jade-white face, making her look like a white jade statue.
The old man in the green robe's face changed and returned to Zhao Lingfeng's appearance. He stood there with his hands behind his back and looked at the woman quietly.
The beautiful woman did not seem to notice him. She only looked at the scenery outside the window without moving.
