Chu Li frowned as he pondered.
He hated Zhao Haiyuan and could not stand it, but he felt that Zhao Haiyuan would not lie, so he must be telling the truth.
If the Divine Light Sword was a plot by Asura, then one should not underestimate Asura's methods.
People always thought that Asura only knew how to kill and not plot, but it was an illusion. There were many wise people among Asura who were good at scheming. This Divine Light Sword could exacerbate the conflict between the Grandmaster and Heavenly Demonic Realms, deepen their hatred, and even incite a war between the two realms.
Once the fake Divine Light Sword caused a bloodbath, and then the news that the Divine Light Sword was in the Heavenly Demon Realm was released, the people who had gone berserk would probably run straight to the Heavenly Demon Realm. Furthermore, the Heavenly Demon Realm forbade people from the Beyond Heavens Realm from entering. If that was the case, there would definitely be a huge battle. In the end, the two realms would be in an irreconcilable state, and the Asura Realm would be able to reap the benefits. It was truly a good plan.
Chu Li sighed and shook his head. He could not underestimate anyone because they were all smarter than the other. If he did not have the Omniscient Mirror, he might not be their match and would only be fooled by them.
Hu Tianfang and the others fell silent again and could not help but feel disheartened.
They thought highly of themselves and thought that the City of Thousand Swords was similar to the Nine Divisions, but their circumstances were different, so people looked down on the City of Thousand Swords.
Now that they encountered Taihao Peak and Heaven Shaking Pavilion, it was an eye-opener for them. They knew that they had underestimated the Nine Divisions. They were indeed the top forces with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. The City of Thousand Swords could not compare.
"Let's go look for the governor. Without the Divine Light Sword, there's no point in staying here," Hu Tianfang said.
Everyone nodded.
They stood up and extinguished the bonfire. Then, their figures swayed and disappeared from where they stood.
Chu Li pondered.
The next moment, he revealed his original appearance.
—
Xiao Qi, Sun Mingyue, and the petite lady were sitting at the peak of a mountain. They were chatting and laughing, looking very relaxed.
Chu Li's sudden appearance caused the petite woman to turn her head. Her bright eyes were like the ripples on the surface of a lake. They rippled for a moment before they disappeared and returned to normal. She only looked at Chu Li with interest.
Chu Li fist saluted and smiled. "Madam, Mingyue."
Xiao Qi nodded gently. Sun Mingyue chuckled. "Why did you suddenly come over?"
The two women had an extraordinary connection with him, so they knew that he had appeared before and was right beside them, so they weren't too surprised.
Chu Li smiled. "I'm here to watch the fun."
"Have you come out from your isolated cultivation?" Xiao Qi asked softly.
Chu Li nodded.
If he had met Xiao Qi alone, he would have gone forward to hold her hand and pull her into his arms. It was as if he was hugging a warm, fragrant, and soft jade. Watching her blush like a fairy was a great pleasure.
At this moment, he could only endure it. He did not go forward to be intimate with her, and only looked at her with a smile.
Sun Mingyue snorted and said nothing.
Xiao Qi turned around and said, "Senior Sister Fu, this is my husband, Chu Li."
Then, she whispered to Chu Li, "Senior Sister Fu Caiwei has always taken good care of us."
She glanced at Sun Mingyue as she spoke.
Sun Mingyue nodded. "It's all thanks to Senior Sister Fu's care that we can be so free and unfettered."
"Chu Li …" Fu Caiwei nodded. "You're really famous, you really live up to your reputation!"
Chu Li's aura was restrained and did not leak out at all. It was obvious that his cultivation level was shockingly pure, or else his aura would be as turbulent as the mountains and the sea. It was easy to release one's aura but difficult to restrain it. It was a matter of purity.
The purer one's cultivation level was, the more one could control it at will, the harder it was to restrain it completely. The more one's aura was released, the more difficult it was to control it at will. It was rough but limited, and once a fight broke out, it would be easy to be at a disadvantage.
Just a trace of his almost completely restrained aura was revealed, and she felt a soul-stirring feeling. The depth of his cultivation was not inferior to hers, and it might even be a level higher. It made her body tense up, and her hair stood on end. Her intuition warned her of danger.
Chu Li gave a fist salute and smiled. "Thank you, Senior Sister Fu."
"You flatter me." Fu Caiwei waved her hand. "I hit it off with them, and it's rare to find people who hit it off with each other … Are you here to watch the fun, or do you want to fight for the Divine Light Sword too?"
Chu Li shook his head. "I heard from Zhao Haiyuan that the Divine Light Sword is in the Heavenly Demonic Realm. It's a scam by Asura, and it caused everyone to kill each other."
"Hmm …?" Fu Caiwei frowned.
Chu Li looked at Xiao Qi and Sun Mingyue.
The two women stared at him with their sparkling eyes, but they were wary of each other and did not take the initiative to speak.
Chu Li felt awkward too. It was not easy to get along with the two women together, and he had to be careful not to hurt either of them. The other three were not happy, so he should be alone.
"Chu Li, what do you think?" Fu Caiwei asked with a frown.
Chu Li said, "Actually, I think Senior Sister Fu should ask the Heaven Swaying Pavilion. I'm sure they won't lie."
"Alright, I want to get to the bottom of this." Fu Caiwei scoffed. "Junior Sister Xiao, Junior Sister Sun, stay."
Sun Mingyue quickly said, "I'll go with you, Senior Sister. Let Junior Sister Xiao stay."
"… Alright." Fu Caiwei's bright eyes turned to Chu Li, then she chuckled and disappeared. Sun Mingyue glared at him and disappeared as well.
Xiao Qi shook her head. "The Divine Light Sword!"
Chu Li smiled. "I heard that the Divine Light Sword is powerful."
"You're tempted too?" Xiao Qi asked softly.
Chu Li reached out and pulled her into his arms. He hugged her warm and soft body tightly. His heart was calm as he sighed. "I wanted to see it, but I didn't expect it to be a scam."
He felt that his Heavenly Star Insight was not strong enough. From this point of view, it was still inferior to the Heaven Swaying Pavilion.
Not to mention himself, the entire Outland had been deceived by Asura and had been fooled by him. Many people had probably been killed because of a fake sword.
Xiao Qi asked, "Do you want to enter the Heavenly Demonic Realm?"
Chu Li sighed. "I want to look for it."
Xiao Qi nodded and leaned against his chest. She whispered, "The Divine Light Sword is very dangerous."
Chu Li smiled. "Your husband has encountered many dangers, but it's like walking on flat ground. Don't worry!"
Xiao Qi hugged his waist tightly without saying a word. She enjoyed the moment of peace and joy.

Chu Li stood at the peak of a mountain and looked down at the mountains. He held a jade pendant in his hand. It was Zhu Lengying's jade pendant.
Through the observation of the Omniscient Mirror, Zhu Lengying's group of six had gathered with ten middle-aged men. They were sitting in a forest to rest as they talked about their previous experiences. Hu Tianfang and the others talked about their encounter with the Tai Hao Peak and the Heaven Shaking Tower, while the other ten middle-aged men talked about their encounter with the masters from the Snowy Mountain. They experienced a battle and managed to repel those people.
One of the middle-aged men patted the long sword on his waist and sighed. "Luckily we brought this Peerless Sword, or we wouldn't have been able to deal with the masters from the Great Snow Mountain. Their martial arts are very strange."
He wore a purple robe and had a strong build. His thick eyebrows and big eyes exuded a masculine aura. He looked bold and bold.
Another handsome middle-aged man nodded. "The inner energy of the Great Snow Mountain is firm and Yang, but it also carries a strange chill. It's really strange. We almost suffered a great loss. This time, we'll be visiting all the major sects in the world. I'm afraid some of the smaller sects will jump out too. It's been a long time since it's been so lively!"
"I don't care if they're from the Great Snow Mountain or the other sects. If they encounter my Peerless Sword, they won't be able to return!" The purple-robed man laughed.
