"Well … yes!" Elder Shan nodded helplessly, "This disciple killed a disciple of the Divine Sun Cult."
"Which Senior Sister killed a disciple of the Divine Sun Cult?" Xu Jingyi was shocked.
She quickly whispered, "The Divine Sun Cult is a first-rate sect, far better than us but their disciples are all overbearing and hated. But because of their strength, no one dares to provoke them. There must be a reason why Senior Sister killed a disciple of the Divine Sun Cult!"
Chu Li scoffed, "A first-rate sect!"
Elder Shan sighed and said, "It's Xing Nafei … If it wasn't for that, we would have sent someone to help her. Unfortunately, if there were any unusual movements, the Heavenly Sun Cult would definitely find out and launch a sect war against us. The Heavenly Sun Cult is used to being domineering, they won't give up."
Chu Li frowned, "Tell me, where is she?"
"You agree?" Xu Jingyi asked.
She was conflicted. On one hand, she wanted Chu Li to save Xing Nafei. Xing Nafei had always been gentle, dignified, fair, and respected in the cult.
However, the Church of the Sun God was extremely powerful. If Chu Li accepted this condition and helped them, the Church of the Sun God would definitely conduct a thorough investigation. They might even find out that it was him, and they would hunt him down.
Chu Li calmly said, "This is not a harsh condition. If I don't agree, won't I be harming you?"
He had a good impression of the Divine Sun Cult.
The Soul Lotus was a rare item and they used it to exchange for a disciple's life. Even a second-rate sect like this could win the loyalty of their disciples. It was no wonder that Xu Jingyi would rather lose her life than reveal her identity. A sect like this was indeed worthy of disciples dying for.
Grandmother Lu's attitude was completely different from before when she killed him without a care in the world. Chu Li was not surprised. Everyone has many faces and this Grandmother Lu was obviously prejudiced because her soul was harmed.
What she said was probably true. Souls were most likely evil. Even if they were good in the beginning, they would become evil in the future. However, when it came to himself, he couldn't say the same. He had to get back at her.
Xu Jingyi looked conflicted and did not know what to say.
Elder Shan said, "Alright, I can make an oath with Junior Sister Lu. As long as you save Xing Nafei, I will give you a Soul Lotus."
Chu Li calmly said, "There's no need for an oath. Where is she now?"
"Follow me," Elder Dan said.
She suddenly regained her mobility, and the sealed acupoints around her body had already been unsealed. She turned to Xu Jingyi and said, "Jingyi, you wait here. You can't follow them."
Chu Li said, "There's no need to go through so much trouble. Bring me nine top-notch jade pendants, the better the material, the better."
The two Great Elders were stunned.
Xu Jingyi was overjoyed. "You want to make a talisman?"
She hurriedly said, "Elder Dan, Granny Lu, senior used this formation to save me back then. He made four talismans and quietly escaped from the Seven Seas Sect's pursuit. They couldn't even see me when they walked past me. It's amazing!"
"I see …" Elder Dan nodded. "Please wait a moment."
After disappearing for a moment, she reappeared with nine jade pendants in her hand. All of them had a warm luster, as if they were flowing with spring water.
As soon as she opened her hand, the nine jade pendants floated into the air. Then, an invisible force began to carve them. Strange runes appeared, and then they shone with a strange luster that grew brighter and brighter.
The surroundings suddenly darkened as the luster was absorbed into the jade pendants. The jade pendants became like ordinary stones, gray and dull. If they were thrown on the ground, no one would pick them up. It was completely different from before.
Chu Li said, "This is a Universe Chaos Formation. It's enough for hiding. If it's not enough, I'll make another one."
"Alright." Elder Dan was overjoyed.
They had heard about the power of formations. Unfortunately, as a second-rate sect, they lacked rare talents even though they had a lot of talents. The world's formations originated from Ji River, and all the geniuses in the path of formations had entered the Ji River Sect.
The Ji River Sect was famous for being a reclusive sect. They did not care about worldly affairs and only focused on researching formations. The huge Ji River Sect was surrounded by formations. Outsiders could not enter at all, let alone attack the Ji River Sect.
There were so many geniuses, but they were not good enough to enter the Ji River Sect until they died of old age. It was such a waste. Unfortunately, no one could change this. The Ji River Sect was aloof from the world, and no one dared to provoke them.
She closed fist saluted and disappeared in a flash.
Elder Lu scoffed, "Senior Sister Shan is too impatient. She hasn't even tried it."
Chu Li's voice rang in her mind, "With your martial arts, you won't be able to discover the Universe Chaos Formation."
Elder Lu pouted and did not say anything. She did not think much of it.
Although he was a formation master, he had ascended from the Lower Realm. The formations in the Lower Realm were different from the ones in this world. People from the Lower Realm had short lifespans. They would die before they could research anything. The power of the formation was not that strong.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have killed him without any hesitation.
Chu Li said, "Take out four jade pendants!"
Xu Jingyi took out four jade pendants from her sleeve and opened her hand.
The four jade pendants rose into the air. Then, an invisible force quickly scratched the surface of the pendants. Rays of light drilled into the pendants. Soon, the light was as bright as lightning.
"Bam!" The light shrunk and dimmed.
Chu Li scoffed, "Let me show you what a formation is!"
The four jade pendants were shot into the air and spun violently. Suddenly, they surrounded Elder Lu.
Elder Lu's body was already freed. When she saw the jade pendants falling down, she quickly waved her dragon-headed walking stick. But she hit nothing but air. Her expression changed when she realized that her surroundings had changed.
The surroundings were empty and there was not a single person in sight. The scenery was not that of the Divine Sect, but somewhere else. Thus, he raised his voice and shouted, "Where is this place?"
The surroundings were silent. There was no sound at all. She could hear her own breathing.
She scoffed, "It's just a diversion!"
She felt that she was not moved by the void. She should still be at the same place. As long as she followed the direction she came from, she would be able to leave the formation. Most importantly, she remembered that there was a small stream not far behind her. Once she found the stream, she would be able to enter the Holy Mountain. Through the formation of the Holy Mountain, she would be able to restrain this formation.
As she thought about this, she followed the direction she had decided on. She sped up and could vaguely hear the sound of flowing water.
She quickened her pace and came to the stream. She smiled and walked along the stream. She walked faster and faster. But after an hour, she realized that something was wrong. She should have reached her destination by now.
But there was still a small stream in front of her. It seemed like there was no end to it.
Xu Jingyi looked at her walking in circles. She whispered, "Senior, will Elder Lu be in danger?"
"She won't die." Chu Li scoffed.
Unconvinced, Elder Lu waved her dragon-headed walking stick. Rays of black light shot out. She felt that the Soul Extinguishing Light could break the formation. After shooting almost a hundred Soul Extinguishing Lights, she could only take a break. Her face was pale.
She felt tired easily. Her body was extremely weak.
Just then, Elder Dan appeared, and when he saw the four jade pendants floating in the air, and Granny Lu spinning in circles, his face turned pale. He couldn't help but look at Xu Jingyi, and Xu Jingyi quietly explained what had happened.
