"Pfft!" Song Manyin suddenly chuckled and turned to look at him. Her gaze was like a sword piercing into his eyes.
Chu Li sighed. "Do you want me to swear to God that I didn't see the Formless Blade?"
"You really didn't see it?" Song Manyin asked.
She was starting to believe Chu Li's words.
For someone who deduced the Heavenly Axiom, swearing was more stringent because they knew about the existence of the Heavenly Axiom and the power of swearing. They respected the Heavens and Earth, so it meant that they were not lying.
Chu Li said, "Sect Leader Song, the Formless Blade seems to be a legendary item. What's its use?"
"To others, the Formless Blade is just a powerful hidden weapon, but it's different for me." Song Manyin sighed. "Unfortunately, I didn't have enough luck to get this blade!"
She pursued it and tried everything she could, but she always failed.
It was as if there was a force hindering her from getting the Formless Blade. This aroused her fighting spirit and made her desire to get it.
"What's the difference?" Chu Li asked.
Song Manyin glanced at him and scoffed. "You're so curious. You want the Formless Blade too?"
Chu Li smiled. "I don't know the Heaven Blade Sect's martial arts. Even if I get it, it won't be of much use. It's not even comparable to a treasure sword."
"If you really get it, I can exchange it with a treasure sword." Song Manyin's beautiful face revealed a charming smile. "I can also give you a Heaven Blade Badge. How about it?"
Chu Li asked, "What treasure sword?"
"The Flash Sword. How about it?" Song Manyin asked.
Chu Li said, "Has Sect Leader Song heard of the Flash Sword?"
"What a big appetite!" Song Manyin scoffed. "The Flash Sword isn't something a normal person can get. I advise you to give up! … Although the Flash Sword isn't as good as the Flash Sword, it's still a rare treasure sword. It's light, fast, and sharp. If it wasn't for the Formless Blade, I wouldn't have given it up! "
Chu Li said, "Sect Leader Song, I want to ask, does the Flash Sword really exist?"
"Of course it exists." Song Manyin nodded slightly. "It's just that the owner of the sword lives in seclusion and doesn't come into contact with the world, so no one knows its whereabouts. Tell me how you killed Zhou Yong!"
When Chu Li saw that she had changed the topic, he began to believe his intuition even more. It was highly possible that Song Manyin was related to the Passing Light Divine Sword.
Suppressing his thoughts, he sighed and said, "Actually, it's not that difficult. We just have to calculate where he will escape to, and Senior Brother Fan and the others will take his place, and then let Senior Brother Fan personally take revenge."
"Sure enough, you're indeed proficient in the art of deduction." Song Manyin humphed and said, "Then can you deduce where the Non-Phase Blade is?"
Chu Li said, "Extrapolation isn't omnipotent. In fact, it was Zhou Yong who managed to extrapolate the location of the Formless Blade. Now that Zhou Yong is dead, it's difficult to extrapolate anymore. I'm afraid that only he knows where the Formless Blade is."
"There's no way he's not carrying a knife." Song Manyin frowned.
Chu Li replied, "He's heavily injured, so he probably predicted that you'd catch up to him. Do you think he'd keep his blade with him?"
Song Manyin shook her head.
Zhou Yong would rather throw the blade into the wilderness than leave the Formless Blade with her. Zhou Yong would do anything that would make her uncomfortable!
As the two were talking, a young lady in green suddenly came to report, "Sect Leader, Mister Bao Cheng from the Heaven's Equal Faction is outside and wants to see you!"
"Invite him in." Song Manyin nodded.
Chu Li looked at Song Manyin.
Song Manyin smiled. "You don't know Bao Cheng from the Heaven's Equal Faction, do you?"
Chu Li shook his head as he had a bad feeling about this.
Song Manyin said, "He's also a master who's proficient in extrapolation. He's from overseas."
Chu Li frowned. "Sect Leader Song, you can't use a master from overseas!"
"He's a High Official from the Heaven's Equal Faction, not from the Heaven's Saber Sect." Song Manyin gently waved her hand.
Chu Li sighed and shook his head. "I'm afraid that we'll be nurturing a tiger that will bring us trouble. The visitors from overseas have been eyeing us for a long time. All of the masters are our eyes and ears, so we'll have a deeper understanding of the mainland to find our weaknesses."
"What do you mean by the mainland? Don't worry about it." Song Manyin waved her hand. "Let's meet this Mister Bao first."
As they spoke, a burst of loud laughter was heard.
Amidst the laughter, a middle-aged man entered from the Moon Gate. His black robe fluttered in the wind, and he had a burly build. He had a lion's nose and tiger's eyes. His appearance was simple and unsophisticated, and he had an otherworldly aura.
Chu Li's brows relaxed, but he was shocked.
He sensed a strange aura from Bao Cheng. It was clear and intense, and it blocked Chu Li's observation. It was obvious that his spirit was strong. Fortunately, Bao Cheng could not block Chu Li's observation from the Heaven's Eye, so Chu Li was relieved.
Bao Cheng took a step forward and closed fist saluted. "Greetings, Sect Leader Song!"
"Mister Bao, I apologize for not going out to meet you." Song Manyin closed fist saluted and chuckled. "What a coincidence, this Young Master Li Qi is a High Official from the Southern Heaven Gate. The two High Officials from the Heaven's Equal Faction and the Southern Heaven Gate have bumped into each other here."
Chu Li asked, "What's your intention, Sect Leader Song?"
This might be a coincidence, but Song Manyin did not let him go, and instead invited Bao Cheng in.
"If the two of you work together, can you find the Formless Blade?" Song Manyin smiled.
Bao Cheng sized Chu Li up and felt that Chu Li's aura was unpredictable and could not be deduced. He frowned and stroked his beard. "You're a kindred spirit indeed. Are you the new High Official from the Southern Heaven Gate?"
Chu Li nodded.
Bao Cheng stopped looking at him and smiled at Song Manyin. "Sect Leader Song, are you looking for me to …?"
"Formless Blade." Song Manyin took out a small blade. It was exquisite and exquisite, and it was no different from the Formless Blade. However, the Formless Blade was a ball of light, and it was faintly discernible, constantly flashing and changing between existence and non-existence.
However, the small blade in front of him was real. It was crystal clear like an ice blade, and the blade was in perfect harmony with its surroundings.
Chu Li exclaimed, "Good blade!"
This was not a Formless Blade, but it was a top-grade Heaven Blade. The blade was one with heaven and earth, which was also the origin of the name Heaven Blade. He reached out to take it and held it in his hand. He could not feel any killing intent at all.
Song Manyin looked regretful. "This is what a Formless Blade looks like. I made it myself, but it's a replica."
Chu Li smiled. "I thought it was a Formless Blade. No one would doubt it if I said it was a Formless Blade."
Bao Cheng looked at the flying blade and extended his hand.
Chu Li handed it over.
Bao Cheng examined it carefully and closed his eyes as if he was feeling the aura of the blade.
He turned his head and said, "Sect Leader Song, please tell me what happened."
Song Manyin then told him everything without hiding anything. It was obvious that she had a good relationship with the Southern Heaven Gate and trusted Bao Cheng.
Bao Cheng's gaze moved back and forth on Chu Li.
He was proficient in the art of deduction, so he knew how far he could go if he was in Chu Li's shoes. That was why he suspected that the Formless Blade was in Chu Li's hands.
Chu Li said, "I swear, I didn't get the Formless Blade!"
Bao Cheng nodded thoughtfully. "Then, Sect Leader Song, can you find a few of Zhou Yong's personal belongings and his weapons?"
"Sure." Song Manyin quickly ordered. Soon, a few personal clothes and a flying blade were sent over.
