On the vast sea, the thirteen boats sped forward like arrows released from a bow, recklessly rushing forward.
Although the items on the boats were bait, they were not without value. If they could arrive safely without losing the book collection and the Auspicious Flower, they would have done a great service. If they lost the book collection and the Auspicious Flower, they would be punished.
As they urged the boats forward, they were always on guard against Xiao Qi, so when Chu Li and Xiao Qi suddenly appeared in the void and looked down at them from above, they saw it. Suddenly, the boats slowed down and joined together to form a circle. They leaped into the air and formed a formation.
Other than the Auspicious Sect disciples, the Joyous Clan disciples also formed a round formation and steadily confronted Chu Li and Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi gritted her teeth. She was so angry that her teeth were itching.
Chu Li smiled, and a black crack suddenly appeared in the void.
"Ah!" A young man screamed as his arm fell off.
Chu Li looked around and saw that another young man also lost his arm. He gritted his teeth and did not make a sound, the muscles on his face twisted.
They realized that the formation could not protect them. The light screen did not rise at all as if the formation had failed.
However, if the formation failed, the protective qi barrier would not fail.
Chu Li turned to look at Xiao Qi and smiled. "Madam, what do you think?"
"As expected of the Swordless Scripture." Xiao Qi nodded lightly as she saw through the mystery.
The Swordless Scripture could directly penetrate the protective qi barrier, the formation, and inner energy. It was really impossible to guard against and it was frightening.
"Ah!"
"Hmph!"
Screams and groans could be heard.
Chu Li's eyes lit up and flashed. Every time he flashed, there would be a person with a broken arm or a broken leg. They looked at him angrily with murderous intent.
However, no matter how angry they were, the formation had already been broken.
Xiao Qi activated the Regal Sword Scripture, and the sword energy rampaged as she took advantage of the situation.
When the sword energy approached, their protective qi barrier appeared and could block it for a while. However, when the Swordless Scripture arrived, their protective qi barrier was useless. They still had broken limbs and could not resist.
Chu Li shouted, "If you know what's good for you, hurry up and leave. Otherwise, don't blame us for killing you!"
Xiao Qi said, "Why are you so softhearted? When they killed the Regal Peak disciples, didn't they kill them? An eye for an eye!"
Chu Li chuckled. "Madam is right."
His eyes flickered, and in the next moment, the head of a young man flew up, killing him without any obstruction.
"Ah!" Screams erupted. The female disciples were all indescribably terrified. They were killed for no reason at all. This type of feeling was just too sullen. Their deaths weren't worth it.
"Let's go!" someone shouted.
Immediately, the spell formation dispersed. Everyone did their best to teleport through the void, disappearing one by one. In the blink of an eye, everyone was gone. Even the severed limbs were gone.
"These people sure run fast!" Xiao Qi scoffed. "I really don't know what to say."
She was secretly shocked by the power of the Swordless Scripture. As expected of the Taishang Peak's peak-guarding martial art, its power was astonishing. The most terrifying thing was that it was impossible to guard against, and one's inner force could not withstand it.
She could imagine the grievances and fear of those Auspicious Sect and Joyful Sect disciples. This feeling of being unable to resist was enough to make people break down, especially when they saw their companions being beheaded without any resistance.
"Forget it." Chu Li said, "Our goal is still to collect the books. Let's see if they're lying to us."
Xiao Qi's expression turned serious. "They're not lying. They're really books from the Sutra Library."
She had already checked the books on the two boats. They were undoubtedly from the Sutra Library, but there were no truly important secret books. It was obvious that they had been taken away in advance.
The two of them teleported a few times and brought the remaining boats back.
Chu Li began to set up a formation on Taishang Peak.
There were originally formations on Taishang Peak, but those formations were destroyed by traitors. When Auspicious Sect invaded, they could not make use of them, or else they would not have been defeated so badly.
Xiao Qi began to check the books, and the two of them went about their own business.
By the time Chu Li rearranged the formation, it was already evening. The two of them arrived at Xiao Qi's small courtyard. It was quiet and elegant, which gave Chu Li a sense of familiarity.
The two of them lay on the bed and hugged each other as they talked.
"Are there any problems with those books?"
"Yes, they're all books from the Sutra Library, but there are no secret books or rare books. They've been taken away, and we need to get them back."
"There's no hurry. Let them keep them first. Once you've cultivated the Swordless Scripture, we'll get them back with interest."
"When can I cultivate the Swordless Scripture?" Xiao Qi lay on Chu Li's chest and shook her head gently. Her black satin hair swayed gently and shone with a black light.
Chu Li smiled. "Let's do it now."
Xiao Qi looked up at him.
Chu Li kissed her smooth forehead and smiled. "Have you forgotten about the Traction Skill?"
"Can I inherit it?" Xiao Qi asked.
She knew that some secret skills could not be inherited through the Traction Skill, and the Swordless Scripture was one of them.
Chu Li said, "Your soul energy is enough now."
Previously, when she did not consume a large amount of Auspicious Flowers, her soul energy was insufficient. Now, it was enough for her to cultivate, but to inherit the Swordless Scripture, she still had to pass the test of the bamboo slip.
The bamboo slip was too dangerous. He did not want Xiao Qi to bear it, so it was best to pass the Traction Skill to her.
Xiao Qi nodded.
Chu Li got up and sat cross-legged. He pressed his thumb on Xiao Qi's forehead, who was sitting opposite him.
Xiao Qi wore a bluish-white undergarment that covered her graceful figure. Her hair was loose, and she looked charming. She was cold and charming, which made her even more seductive.
Her hair was black and shiny, and her skin was white as if she was carved from rouge and white jade. She sat with her eyes closed like Guanyin, and no one would feel disrespectful toward her.
After a while, Chu Li opened his eyes and removed his thumb. Xiao Qi sat with her eyes closed. After two hours, she slowly opened her eyes and suddenly lit up.
"Crack!" A crisp sound rang out, and a small crack appeared in the void.
Xiao Qi did not need to comprehend the scripture. She was as deep as Chu Li.
She smiled. "As expected of the Swordless Scripture!"
Chu Li smiled. "With this sword, how about we break into the Auspicious Sect?"
"Okay!" Xiao Qi was a bold person, so she agreed without hesitation.
The two of them did not continue to sleep. They put on their clothes and appeared at the peak of a mountain.
Chu Li already knew the location of the Auspicious Sect from the Auspicious Sect Leader's mind. He immediately shifted and the mountain they appeared at was opposite the Auspicious Sect.
The Auspicious Sect was located at the peak of a mountain near a huge city. White clouds covered the sky as if they were looking down at the huge city in front of them.
Moreover, the mountain gate of the Auspicious Sect was a temple. The temple on the mountainside was full of incense. If they walked further up to the peak, it would be the place where the Auspicious Sect disciples cultivated. Half of it was bustling while the other half was quiet.
Chu Li looked at it and sighed. "It looks like a big sect, and it's a Buddhist sect."
"They're just pretending to be a Buddhist sect. When did they ever look like a Buddhist sect?" Xiao Qi sneered. "They're chanting the name of Buddha."
Chu Li noticed that the Auspicious Sect had the shadow of a Buddhist heart technique, but it was not strong. Moreover, the disciples did not look like monks. They were more like secular disciples.
Chu Li frowned and pondered.
He knew the power of Buddhism. Even on this First Heaven, it would not be weak. If they provoked the entire Buddhist sect, Tai Shang Peak would not survive.
