Fan Yi's expression darkened as he remained silent.
Jing Xiaojie frowned. "Brother Li, Zhou Yong might not be that powerful. Could it be that Sect Leader Song didn't want to deal with Zhou Yong himself, so he forced him out of the Heaven Blade Sect so that Senior Brother Fan could avenge him?"
Chu Li shook his head. "Zhou Yong is an extremely powerful person. Sect Leader Song wanted to kill him but failed … Senior Brother Fan is still lacking if he wants to kill him based on his current level of martial arts."
"What should we do then?" Jing Xiaojie asked. "We can't let Senior Brother Fan cultivate until he's strong enough to take revenge, right?"
If it were him, he would not be able to tolerate it.
It would be fine if he did not know who his enemy was, but now that he knew, he would not be able to tolerate it. Letting his enemy live for another moment was a great pain, and he would want to kill him immediately.
"Brother Fan, you want to avenge yourself?" Chu Li looked at Fan Yi.
Fan Yi nodded slowly.
Only by killing his enemy with his own hands could he truly let go of his hatred and have a clear mind, which would speed up his cultivation. If he could not avenge himself and his mind was not clear, it would be much slower to improve his martial arts. It might even be difficult to improve.
At this level, cultivation was more about one's state of mind than pure hard work.
Jing Xiaojie asked, "Brother Li, is there any way to help Senior Brother Fan?"
Chu Li frowned and sighed. "It's a little troublesome."
"It's okay, as long as Senior Brother Fan can avenge himself," Jing Xiaojie quickly said.
She looked at Fan Yi as she spoke.
Fan Yi nodded slowly and looked at Chu Li with bright eyes.
Chu Li said, "The Heaven Blade Sect has issued a Heaven Blade Order. Countless people want to kill Zhou Yong and obtain the Order."
"My senior brothers and sisters are tempted." Jing Xiaojie pursed her lips and smiled. "The Heaven Blade Order can make the Heaven Blade Sect agree to a request, even to become a Heaven Blade Sect disciple, avenge or teach top-notch martial arts. It's too tempting!"
Chu Li smiled. "Even the masters in our sect are tempted, let alone the masters in the world. As long as they know Zhou Yong's location, they will flock to him."
"Let them kill Zhou Yong …" Fan Yi hesitated.
Chu Li shook his head and sighed. "Zhou Yong isn't that easy to kill. His martial arts is very powerful. Let the masters keep him occupied and we'll strike when he's exhausted."
"This wishful thinking may not work," Fan Yi said.
Chu Li said, "That will depend on your luck, Brother Fan. If you really get killed, you can only blame your bad luck, Brother Fan."
"… Alright." Fan Yi nodded slowly.
He felt that using this kind of method to plot against Zhou Yong and then take the opportunity to kill him was a wise move, while directly asking the seniors of the sect for help was completely lazy. They were on completely different levels.

At noon, the sun shone brightly.
Under the bright and beautiful sunlight, Song Manyin, dressed in clothes as white as snow, was leisurely strolling in the back garden. The back garden she was in was Zhou Yong's back garden. She stepped onto the winding corridor above the lake and strolled leisurely.
She was digesting her food here after lunch.
"Master!" A green-robed young girl rushed over, gracefully arriving in front of her. "Sect Master, Young Master Li Qi wishes to see you."
"Invite him over," Song Manyin said.
"Yes," the green-robed girl replied softly and retreated.
Song Manyin held onto the white jade railing and looked along the clear surface of the lake. Chu Li's face flashed in front of her and she frowned.
She had an extremely bad impression of Chu Li. She felt as if she was shrouded in a layer of fog. She could not see through him and felt threatened.
As a sect master, she was used to having everything under her control. Being out of control made her feel uneasy and alert.
Chu Li slowly walked to the back garden and stepped onto the winding corridor. He closed fist saluted in front of her. "Greetings, Sect Master Song."
"What's the matter?" Song Manyin asked directly, her bright eyes glancing at him.
Chu Li said, "I have deduced Zhou Yong's location and have come to report to Sect Master Song."
Song Manyin raised her brows. "You can find him?"
Chu Li nodded.
Song Manyin looked at him and said lightly, "You don't get up early without benefits. Tell me, what do you want?"
Chu Li shook his head. "To be honest, Sect Master Song, I am doing this to help Brother Fan Yi. I am just borrowing your hand to kill Zhou Yong. Since Sect Master Song wants to kill Zhou Yong, we will each take what we need and cooperate."
"Cooperate?" Song Manyin chuckled.
Chu Li said, "Sect Master Song, do you think that my cultivation level is too low to be of interest to you?"
Song Manyin straightened her body and let go of the white jade railing. "It doesn't matter if your martial arts level is high or low, as long as you can find Zhou Yong!"
She was not interested in Chu Li's martial arts level. No matter how strong his martial arts level was, he could not be compared to her and could not be of great use. However, being able to deduce Zhou Yong's location showed that he was a great talent. A true talent needed to be roped in wholeheartedly and no one knew when he would be put to good use.
Chu Li nodded. "Sect Master Song, do you trust me?"
"… Let's go." Song Manyin looked at him deeply and said in a low voice.
She put her hand on Chu Li's shoulder and looked extremely close.
A faint fragrance wafted into his nostrils. Chu Li's heart skipped a beat and he quickly said seriously, "Sect Master Song, be careful of Zhou Yong. Don't let him hurt you."
However, he knew that Song Manyin was so close to him to prevent him from playing any tricks. She could directly take his life.
"Understood. Let's go." Song Manyin scoffed.
The two disappeared and appeared in a ravine in the next moment.
The surroundings were lush with trees and weeds.
This valley was located deep within the mountains, and there seemed to be no signs of human activity on the outside.
Chu Li and Song Manyin stopped outside the ravine and stepped on the treetop of an ancient tree. Chu Li pointed inside and said in a low voice, "Zhou Yong is hiding here!"
Without his Heaven's Eye and deduction skills, almost no one would be able to find Zhou Yong. It was so far away from human habitation that it was impossible for anyone to pass by this place. How could they find him in this uninhabited mountain range?
Song Manyin stood on the treetop and swayed gently, moving up and down with the wind as if she had become one with the branches. She concealed her aura and locked Chu Li's aura within a one-foot radius.
Chu Li was secretly impressed. This was obviously a mystical technique of the Heaven Saber Sect. It could completely conceal one's aura so that it could be used as a sneak attack. This was the terror of the Heaven Saber Sect. It was fine if the blade was not seen, but when it was used, it would kill.
Song Manyin looked at the ravine in the distance and frowned with a gloomy expression.
She could not sense Zhou Yong's aura. It was obvious that Zhou Yong's cultivation level was not inferior to hers.
Moreover, he had already prepared an escape route. She could guess that there was more than one such hiding place. If she could not take him down this time, she might not be able to find Zhou Yong the next moment. He was truly free and unfettered.
"You leave first!" Song Manyin turned and glanced at Chu Li. "I might not be able to protect you when we fight later!"
Chu Li nodded and disappeared.
Song Manyin floated toward the ravine and entered the ravine silently. She soon found Zhou Yong.
As they did not want to expose themselves, there were no traps in the ravine. There was only a small wooden hut hidden in the forest. Zhou Yong was hiding in the hut to cultivate. He noticed Song Manyin as soon as she approached.
He frowned and left the hut in a flash. He stood ten meters away from Song Manyin and said coldly, "Junior Sister Song, why do you have to seek death?"
His green robe blended in with the surrounding forest. His gaze was cold.
