When they disappeared, Ding Jian and Ding Shi stared at Chu Li's white eyebrows and shook their heads. This was karma.
The power of karma was something that the Buddhist disciples would be afraid of.
Buddhism cultivated the path of detachment and freedom. However, even if one understood everything in the world and became a Buddha, they still could not break away from the laws of heaven and earth. The law of cause and effect was the most solid law.
Karma born from cause and effect, not to mention cultivators, even the real Buddha could not avoid it.
"Junior Brother, you …" Ding Shi shook his head and sighed.
Ding Jian said, "It seems that this matter has a great impact or else there would not be so much karma."
Chu Li sighed, "This matter is very important. It concerns the situation of the world and the fate of countless people in the martial arts world."
"You mean …" Ding Jian's expression changed.
Chu Li slowly shook his head, "Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, I can only say this much."
"Alright, let's not talk about it." Ding Jian and Ding Shi nodded.
They already knew that Chu Li's Sky Eye was a double-edged sword. The backlash was too severe. Once the secret of heaven was revealed, there would be backlash. Once the fate of others was changed, there would be backlash too.
As long as he used the Sky Eye, he would face backlash no matter what action he took. This time, his eyebrows turned white but it was not a big deal. However, next time it might not be so easy. They did not know which part would be changed.
What if it was his eyes?
Just like the last time when he was blinded by the backlash. Fortunately, it recovered. However, if it was a stronger karma, he might not have the chance to recover. It was scary to think about it.

He Jin and Qin Xiao appeared in a basilica of Five Thunder Peak.
Qin Xiao was confused, "Master's Junior, what happened?"
"Something big happened. I need to report to the peak leader." He Jin said.
"Master's Junior, it's better to be careful. I don't know how accurate the Sky Eye is. If it's really that accurate, who in the world can defeat the Great Mercy Temple? "Qin Xiao said slowly.
He Jin frowned at him.
Qin Xiao said, "I also admire Master Ding Ru's magnanimity to be able to reveal the secret of heaven despite being heavily injured. However, what if it's wrong?"
"Even if it's wrong, it's better than not knowing anything." He Jin said, "If Master Ding Ru can do it to that extent, I won't mind my life. At most, I will be punished by the peak leader!"
"… Alright." Qin Xiao nodded helplessly.
He realized that he had become the most humble and insignificant one. His original concern had turned into suspicion, so he could only shut up.
However, if He Jin were to make a false report because of this and affect the operations of Five Thunder Peak, it would be all for naught in the end. The impact would be huge, and it might even delay or ruin many important matters. The responsibility would be great.
Even though Martial Uncle He was a genius and his status wasn't ordinary, after committing such a grave mistake, he wouldn't have a good life for the next hundred years. He would definitely be sent back to the peak and obediently cultivate in isolation.
He Jin quickly rang the jade bell in the hall.
The jade bell, which was about the size of a palm, rang gently and melodiously throughout the twelve peaks.
Before the bell had finished ringing, eight old men in green robes and four beautiful middle-aged women in white robes had already appeared in the main hall. Their figures appeared like flickering lights and shadows, and then they became real and condensed.
They looked at He Jin and Qin Xiao, then at Yu Zhong.
A short and coarse elder snorted, "He Jin, aren't you and Little Qin guarding Great East Sea Suppressing City? Why are you back?"
"Martial Uncle Zheng, I have something important to report," He Jin said in a deep voice.
He glanced at the twelve elders and cupped his fists, "Martial Uncles, I received news that Great East Sea Suppressing City might have fallen!"
"Great East Sea Suppressing City?" Everyone's expression changed slightly.
"Is Great East going the same way as Great East?" The short and coarse elder stroked his long beard and sat on the chair beside him. He frowned and said, "Surely they don't have to use such an old-fashioned method?"
"If they can get away with it once, they can get away with it again!" A beautiful middle-aged woman in a loose white robe with a graceful figure said.
He Jin said in a deep voice, "Martial Uncle Cheng is right, I also have the same concerns."
A thin and strange-looking elder sitting in the middle said slowly, "How did you receive the news?"
The twelve people sat on twelve chairs in the hall, each with their own seat. Twelve pairs of eyes fell on He Jin, making him inexplicably nervous. He took a deep breath and said, "Peak Master, it's the Heaven's Eye of the Great Mercy Temple."
The Five Thunder Peak had a total of twelve peaks, and each peak had a peak master. The peak master of the Heaven's Thunder Peak was in charge of the twelve peaks and was the master of the Five Thunder Peak.
"Great Master Wen Miao?" Another beautiful middle-aged woman said.
He Jin shook his head lightly.
The short and coarse elder scoffed and said, "That Wen Miao only wants to bury himself in a pile of rouge and live a carefree life. How would he have the leisure to care about Sea Suppressing City?"
He Jin said, "The Great Mercy Temple has another Great Master who has the Heaven's Eye of the Heaven."
"That little monk Ding Ru?" The short and coarse elder scoffed.
He Jin nodded slowly. "Although Great Master Ding Ru is young, he has three magical powers and can be said to be a genius among geniuses. He said it himself, so it can't be wrong. Moreover, this matter is right in front of us, and there's still a chance to save the situation!"
"Alright, it's better to believe it than not." The strange old man in the middle nodded and stroked his beard. "Then we'll send some experts to Great East Sea Suppressing City. Little He, tell us!"
He Jin's spirit was lifted. He quickly cupped his fists and said, "Peak Master, I want to ask for ten experts from each peak."
"One hundred and twenty?" The strange old man said.
He Jin nodded slowly. "I'd rather have more than less."
"… Alright." The Peak Master of Five Thunder Peak, Sun Enji, nodded slowly. "Then it'll be one hundred and twenty. Junior Brothers and Sisters, what do you think?"
"Since the Peak Master has given the order, we'll obey!" Everyone cupped their fists.
Similarly, they did not dare to underestimate the Heaven's Eye of the Heaven. They had the same thoughts as Sun Enji. They would rather believe it than not. Without too much benefit in front of them, the Great Mercy Temple would not go so far as to cheat the Five Thunder Peak.
"In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, all the experts come here," Sun Enji said and turned to leave.
The other eleven people turned into shadows and disappeared on the spot.
After a while, the one hundred and twenty people had arrived. They were all middle-aged men, and they were the top experts of each peak.
He Jin cupped his fists and did not say much.
The matter had already been explained by the Peak Masters, and they knew their task. He Jin was only leading the way. In the next moment, he and Qin Xiao appeared in a small courtyard within a majestic city.
Qin Xiao leaped onto the roof, and then onto the roof of a nearby restaurant. Looking down at the people in the city, his expression changed slightly. He returned to He Jin's side and said with a serious expression, "Martial Uncle He, I'm afraid we're a step too late."
"Hmm — —?" He Jin asked solemnly. "What's going on?"
"Most of the people in the Castellan's Residence are guests from the sea," Qin Xiao said in a low voice. "They should have already occupied the Castellan's Residence."
"Damn it!" He Jin smashed his palm with hatred. "… Let's go to the Castellan's Residence!"
"Martial Uncle, should we first find out how many people there are?" Qin Xiao asked hurriedly.
He Jin scoffed. "No matter how many people there are, we have to fight. While they're still in the Castellan's Residence, kill them all!"
"Yes, kill them all!" A few people beside him said in a deep voice.
Everyone rubbed their fists and became excited.
He Jin glanced at Qin Xiao. "Martial Nephew, you stay here first. If the situation doesn't look good, immediately go to the peak to ask for help!"
"What about the Great Mercy Temple?" Qin Xiao asked hurriedly.
"Go and inform them first." He Jin turned and cupped his fists. "Martial Brothers, let's do it!"
