Chu Li said coldly in her mind, "Do you think they'll let it go if I let them go? They'll definitely kill me. If that's the case, why spare their lives?!"
"They won't!" Xu Jingyi quickly said, "The two elders are sensible people. They'll be grateful that you've spared their lives. They won't hold it against you anymore!"
Chu Li said coldly, "You're so naive. You don't know how your elders are like. They'll definitely avenge this humiliation. You're a disciple who witnessed it with your own eyes. You won't be able to escape punishment either. Kill them too!"
"No, of course not!" Xu Jingyi shook her head.
Chu Li sneered, "I won't take your stupid idea seriously!"
"Senior!" Xu Jingyi held her sword across her neck and shouted, "If you don't stop, I'll kill myself in front of you. You can forget about going to Great Supreme Peak!"
Chu Li said, "There are many ways to go to Great Supreme Peak. You don't have to be the only one!"
"I'll go first then!" Xu Jingyi pulled her sword and was about to kill herself.
She was sure that Chu Li would not watch her die.
"Bang!" She fell stiffly and her sword fell to the side. Chu Li had already sealed her acupuncture point.
Xu Jingyi widened her eyes as she watched the two elders being enveloped by the rain of swords. A moment later, they too fell stiffly to the ground, unable to move. They could only stare angrily at Chu Li's soul that was still glowing in black light.
Chu Li's voice rang in their minds, "If it wasn't for Jingyi, you two would've died!"
The two elders could not speak and could only glare at him.
Chu Li continued, "If you dare to come after me again, none of you will be able to escape. It'll be easy to die, but I'll make sure your souls don't dissipate and you'll suffer endless pain!"
After he said that, the black light flashed again and suddenly disappeared.
Xu Jingyi's body loosened and she quickly bounced up to the two elders.
"Elder Shan! Grandmother Lu, are you alright? "Xu Jingyi quickly reached out to help them up.
Elder Shan quickly said, "Xiao Yi!"
Xu Jingyi stared at her blankly.
Elder Shan harrumphed and said, "I didn't expect you to have such an encounter and befriended such a powerful person. Be careful, don't count the money for him after being sold!"
"Elder Shan, senior isn't a bad person." Xu Jingyi hurriedly said.
Elder Shan glanced at the spot where Chu Li was previously, but it was already empty and he could not see anything. He could only say coldly, "There's no harm in being careful. One must always be on guard against others."
"Yes." Xu Jingyi nodded helplessly.
She knew that if she did not agree, Elder Dan would not stop talking.
Granny Lu's face was dark and gloomy, she did not say a word.
She had originally thought that the Dragon Head Soul Extinguishing Light was absolutely safe, but she never expected that she would be heavily injured instead. How could she endure this? She could only remain silent.
"Grandma Lu, senior really didn't mean to harm us." Xu Jingyi whispered.
"Hmph, you better be careful!" Granny Lu glared at her and said, "Don't be an idiot!"
"Yes." Xu Jingyi nodded helplessly when she saw that she couldn't change her prejudice. She cupped her fists and said, "Elders, I'll be leaving first."
"Wait!" Granny Lu humphed.
Xu Jingyi turned and looked at her worriedly.
She thought that Granny Lu was still angry and would not let it go. That would be troublesome.
"If he wants the Soul Lotus, we have it in the Divine Religion." Granny Lu said coldly.
Xu Jingyi's eyes widened in disbelief, "Granny, are you saying that we can give senior the Soul Lotus?"
"If he agrees to one condition, we can give it to him." Granny Lu scoffed.
Xu Jingyi quickly asked, "What condition?"
"Help us kill someone." Granny Lu said.
"Who?" Xu Jingyi asked.
She glanced at the spot where Chu Li was previously. Chu Li was no longer there but they couldn't sense him because he suddenly mastered the Soul Concealment Technique and channeled the Life and Death Scripture.
Granny Lu said, "Jing Zhan Meng."
"Jing Zhan Meng from Ba Huang Sect?" Xu Jingyi was surprised.
She thought it was someone powerful that Granny Lu couldn't handle. She didn't expect it to be Jing Zhan Meng. Although Jing Zhan Meng was one of the Nine Dragons of Ba Huang Sect, a young talent, he was still just a young talent. If Granny Lu were to attack, she could kill him.
Granny Lu said, "Don't look like that. Your Senior Sister Li was killed by his blade. Too bad none of you disciples could kill Jing Zhan Meng!"
If she killed Jing Zhan Meng, she would be able to kill him but the consequences would be endless. Ba Huang Sect would definitely retaliate and many innocent disciples of the Divine Religion would die. She couldn't do it even if she wanted to.
Chu Li was an outsider. If she could kill Jing Zhan Meng and cut all ties with the Divine Religion, that would be the best.
Xu Jingyi frowned, "Senior Sister Li?"
"Li Xue." Granny Lu scoffed, "She has great potential. If she didn't die, she would definitely be a top-notch master in the future. Too bad …"
She shook her head regretfully. Her brows were filled with killing intent.
Li Xue died by Jing Zhan Meng's blade. Jing Zhan Meng must die as well.
Xu Jingyi turned to where Chu Li was, "Senior …?"
"Impossible." Chu Li's voice rang in their minds at the same time, "I will not kill for the Soul Lotus."
"This …" Xu Jingyi frowned and sighed regretfully.
Granny Lu sneered, "You better think this through. This is your only chance to get the Soul Lotus. If it weren't for you and Yu Jingyi, we would never give you the Soul Lotus. It's a rare treasure!"
Chu Li said, "Say no more!"
Granny Lu looked at Xu Jingyi and shook her head, "Are you going to disregard Jing Yi's life just for your so-called principles? You should know that the Northern Region is not the Southern Region. There are wars and killings everywhere. It's a barbaric world. Jing Yi will definitely die if she goes there! "
Chu Li scoffed, "Then forget it. I will go to the Northern Region myself."
Granny Lu sneered, "No matter how strong you are, you are still a spirit. You can't cross Flying Rock Mountain!"
Elder Shan said, "Flying Rock Mountain is a forbidden place for spirits. Only the Soul Protection Pearl can protect it. But the Soul Protection Pearl needs someone to carry it. Otherwise, you will die."
Xu Jingyi quickly said, "I'll be fine. I will return immediately after I cross Flying Rock Mountain."
"Hmph, you want to come back after flipping over? It's not that easy!" Elder Dan said angrily, "Shut up!"
Xu Jingyi felt that it was unwise of the two elders to force her.
Chu Li said, "Say no more. I will never agree to this condition!"
"Then let's change it." Elder Shan said, "As long as you save one person, we will also give you a Soul Lotus!"
"Let's hear it." Chu Li said.
He sneered to himself. The Omniscient Mirror already knew that they were just testing him. His rejection made them relieved. They were more at ease when it came to a spirit that had principles and would not harm others.
If he really agreed to it, they would not give him the Soul Lotus.
Elder Shan said, "One of our disciples is being hunted and urgently needs help."
"Why do you need me?" Chu Li said lightly.
Elder Shan shook her head helplessly, "We cannot reveal her identity."
