They channeled for a while and opened their eyes again.
A group of disciples from the City of Ten Thousand Swords had gathered outside.
Chu Li sighed. "Let's go."
Fu Caiwei nodded. "Can you find Guo Biru?"
"I can try," Chu Li replied.
He appeared in Guo Biru's courtyard in a flash and found a pen. It was Guo Biru's usual pen. He imbued it with his energy and closed his eyes to sense it.
After a while, Chu Li shook his head.
Fu Caiwei stared at him and smiled when she saw him shaking his head. "Why, can't you sense it?"
She knew it was a divine power when she saw Chu Li's appearance.
Chu Li sighed. "He has a treasure on him that blocked my senses."
"I'll do it!" Fu Caiwei said.
Chu Li smiled and passed her a pen.
Fu Caiwei sat on the couch next to him and closed her eyes. She formed a seal and opened her eyes after a while, shaking her head.
Her Heaven's Eye was only at the beginner level and was not powerful enough. Otherwise, she would not have needed to borrow the Universe Stone. Guo Biru seemed to be covered by a treasure and she could not see where he was.
Fu Caiwei frowned slightly and snorted, "Are we going to fail at the last step?"
Chu Li said, "He can run but he can't. He'll come back eventually, right?"
"Not necessarily." Fu Caiwei shook her head.
"Even if we force him?" Chu Li asked.
Fu Caiwei said, "He's so cold, why would he run out? Even if he ran out, he's confident that we can't do anything to him. "
Chu Li looked around. "This is troublesome. I'm afraid we won't be able to find him for a while."
"Yes." Fu Caiwei said, "This is the best chance. The City of Ten Thousand Swords is a sect with thousands of years of history. Those old guys are not here so we can succeed. Once they're here …"
She shook her head.
If they did not seize this opportunity, it would be even harder to snatch his sword.
Chu Li said, "There's always a way."
"I'm just afraid that he'll hide in the territory of the old demons in the City of Ten Thousand Swords and not come out. It doesn't matter how powerful we are. You have to give up." Fu Caiwei shook her head.
Chu Li smiled. "There's no hurry, we'll talk later."
Fu Caiwei sighed. "I'll take my leave."
Chu Li smiled. "Thank you, Miss Fu."
Fu Caiwei suddenly disappeared.
The next moment, Chu Li appeared in a Chakram Tower and placed the two swords in the center of the tower. Apart from the Monarch Descending Sword and the Great Compassion Sword, the other seven swords were all in the tower. This was the safest place. Even if someone used an All-Seeing Divine Power to look for them, they would not be able to find them.
He once again appeared in the small courtyard in the inner city of the City of Ten Thousand Swords. He had already changed back to Wu Yuansi's appearance. He sat quietly in the courtyard, contemplating his gains and losses. Since things had come to this, it was useless to regret. He could only wait for another opportunity.
He didn't believe that Guo Biru would keep hiding, or let those old fellows stay in the inner city. For those old fellows who lived in seclusion, they were not used to living in the inner city. The older they were, the harder it was for them to adapt to the environment.
Moreover, even if the old fellows were guarding the inner city, there was still a chance.
He took a deep breath, threw away all distracting thoughts, closed his eyes, and began to silently recite the Buddhist scriptures taught by Fu Caiwei.
One by one, the scriptures circulated in his mind, turning into lotuses. He wanted to completely understand this Buddhist scripture. Once he understood it, he would be able to use the Heaven's Eye to strengthen his Omniscient Mirror and Heaven's Star Insight.
Unfortunately, the more he wanted to understand, the more he couldn't. This was how Buddhism worked.

While Chu Li was comprehending Buddhism in the small courtyard, a group of white-bearded old men had already rushed into the inner city. All of them looked solemn.
After Fu Caiwei broke the formation, she did not fight with the disciples of the City of Ten Thousand Swords. Instead, she appeared directly in the basilica. Therefore, most of the disciples of the City of Ten Thousand Swords hid in their own courtyards and did not know what was happening.
Without Guo Biru's orders, the Clan Leaders could only stop the disciples from moving. The inner city was quiet. Although the basilica had exploded, the inner city was still peaceful.
When these old men entered the inner city, the entire City of Ten Thousand Swords became lively because Guo Biru had ordered the disciples to come out.
Chu Li looked at Guo Biru in surprise. He did not expect him to come back directly with six old men surrounding him. Each of them had a profound cultivation level. Even the Omniscient Mirror could not see through them.
Each of them was not inferior to Fu Caiwei. This was the deep foundation of the City of Ten Thousand Swords.
Chu Li frowned. He wanted to appear directly next to Guo Biru and snatch the Great Compassion Sword, even if it meant exposing his identity. Unfortunately, the six old men never left Guo Biru's side.
The six of them had a tacit understanding. They walked at the same pace as if they were one person. They constantly maintained a formation that enveloped Guo Biru. Even if Chu Li suddenly appeared next to Guo Biru, he would not be able to sneak an attack.
There were also twenty-four old men around, each hiding in the dark, forming a trap.
Chu Li pondered.
It seemed that Guo Biru was not satisfied and wanted to capture him and Fu Caiwei to take back the treasure swords.
The treasure swords were the foundation of the City of Ten Thousand Swords. Without the other treasure swords, the spirit of the City of Ten Thousand Swords would be sucked out.
The peak sword technique of the City of Ten Thousand Swords was the sword technique of the Nine Swords. For example, the Heaven Killing Sword Technique and the Great Compassion Sword Technique. Without these sword techniques, the deterrence of the City of Ten Thousand Swords would be greatly reduced. If it was spread out that the City of Ten Thousand Swords only had one treasure sword left, who knew how many sects would take the opportunity to attack the City of Ten Thousand Swords.
Therefore, Guo Biru had to take back a few swords. A single tree could not hold up, and a single treasure sword could not suppress a group of heroes.
Chu Li was deep in thought. He wondered if he could take advantage of the situation and whether he should beat them at their own game.
In the following days, the inner city was extremely lively. A new set of formations began to be set up. This time, they did not use the treasure swords as the pillars of the formation. Instead, it was replaced by twenty-four old men with white beards and eyebrows. Each of them had an unfathomable cultivation level.
This formation was even better than the original treasure swords. If the treasure swords had not been lost, this set of formations would not have been used, and these old men would not have needed to take action. It was indeed a form of torture to sit guard in the inner city all day long.
However, Chu Li was not afraid of such formations. He still had the Deva-Human Shedding Technique.
Before he had the spiritual energy of the First Heaven, the Deva-Human Shedding Technique had lost its effect and could not break through the formation. Now that he had the spiritual energy of the First Heaven, he could continue to use the Deva-Human Shedding Technique and ignore these formations.
He suddenly flashed and disappeared from his courtyard. The next moment, he appeared at the peak of a mountain outside the City of Ten Thousand Swords.
He crushed the jade pendant. A moment later, a white shadow flashed and a white-clothed Fu Caiwei appeared.
"What's the bad news?" Fu Caiwei asked with a smile.
Chu Li shook his head and told her about what happened in the City of Ten Thousand Swords.
"He set up a trap …" Fu Caiwei scoffed. "That's interesting. He's quite brave."
Chu Li said, "He was anxious and could only come up with this plan. Should we beat him at his own game?"
Fu Caiwei said, "I'll listen to you."
She looked at Chu Li with a smile.
Chu Li sighed. "We really can't rush this. Let's talk about it after I figure out the situation."
"You're not anxious?" Fu Caiwei looked at him.
Chu Li said, "I'm not anxious. The swords won't run away."
"How's your Heaven's Eye?" Fu Caiwei saw how calm he was and was impressed.
Chu Li shook his head. "My heart is not calm enough. I can't comprehend it."
