The white light seemed to have pierced through the fog in the void. A distorted image could be vaguely seen like a mirage.
Chu Li frowned.
He didn't expect Bao Cheng to reach this level with the help of the Prophet Stone and the secret skill. The blurred and distorted image was the natural formation that he used to hide the Formless Blade. It was blurry and distorted. Others might not be able to see anything but he could recognize it at first glance.
Not everyone had the ability to forcefully break through the formation. Fortunately, he placed a strand of karma converted from the Glazed Lotus Scripture on the Prophet Stone to distort the Heavenly Design.
If he didn't do that, with Bao Cheng's ability and the Prophet Stone, he would definitely be able to find the Formless Blade!
His murderous intent towards Bao Cheng grew stronger but he didn't show it.
There were many divination masters in the world but the only one who provoked him was Bao Cheng. Bao Cheng deserved to die for helping the evildoer.
"Bang!" With a muffled sound, the distorted image in the sky disappeared without a trace.
Bao Cheng spat out a mouthful of blood and his face turned pale.
Chu Li closed fist saluted, "Congratulations Mister Bao for finding the Formless Blade!"
Song Manyin was overjoyed. She closed fist saluted, "Thank you, Mister Bao!"
Bao Cheng opened his eyes with difficulty. His eyes were strange. The whites of his eyes were more than his pupils. He looked scary.
His gaze swept past Chu Li and landed on Song Manyin, "Sect Leader Song, I'm ashamed that I couldn't find the Formless Blade!"
"Hmm — —?" Song Manyin was surprised. She looked at him and then at Chu Li.
Chu Li smiled without saying anything.
His one sentence was enough. If he said anything more, it would only make Song Manyin suspicious.
Song Manyin immediately understood. The smile on her face disappeared and she calmed down. She said indifferently, "Mister Bao, you've worked hard. Since you couldn't find it, then forget it. Maybe I'm not fated enough with the Formless Blade!"
Chu Li remained silent and did not utter a single word.
The more he acted like this, the more convinced Song Manyin was that Bao Cheng had found the Formless Blade.
The words that Chu Li had said earlier appeared in her mind. She had verified them one by one. Bao Cheng was indeed a greedy person.
However, as the Sect Leader, she was shrewd and would naturally not show it. As if she did not hear what Chu Li said, she smiled and said, "Regardless of whether you found the Formless Blade or not, Mister Bao has worked hard. Thank you!"
"You flatter me, you flatter me!" Bao Cheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's because I'm not capable enough, and I'm not fated enough with the Tian Ji Stone."
Song Manyin put the Heaven Fate Stone back into the box and said with a smile, "Then let's go to the Star Seizing Sect and try. Although they believe in neutrality, this matter is not related to personal grudges. If we take the Heaven Fate Stone as a gift, they should be able to make a move."
"Well …" Bao Cheng's expression changed slightly.
He was determined to obtain the Heaven Fate Stone, so how could he allow it to slip away from him?
Song Manyin had already closed the black box and put it into her sleeve. She raised her head and smiled sweetly. "Mr. Bao, I see that you're injured. Why don't you rest here and recuperate?"
"Sect Master Song," Bao Cheng hesitated for a moment and sighed, "Don't rush to find the Star Gathering Sect. Try again, maybe we can see it."
He felt that he was so close, so close to seeing it clearly, but there was an inexplicable obstruction blocking his view.
In the next moment, if he was more careful and burned a few more years of his lifespan, he should be able to see it clearly.
However, Song Manyin already understood that Bao Cheng was not being honest. He was trying to raise the price.
She was furious but she smiled sweetly. "Then what do you need me to do?"
"Actually, it's nothing much," Bao Cheng said helplessly. "I still need to borrow the Heaven Fate Stone."
Chu Li said, "Why don't I try? Mr. Bao's injury is not light and he needs to recuperate for a while. With the help of the Heaven Fate Stone, I also have some confidence. Why don't I give it a try?"
"No need!" Bao Cheng said coldly.
Chu Li smiled. "The Oracle Stone has endless uses. Not only can it aid in divination, but it can also improve the cultivation of divination. Every time it's used, it'll become stronger. I wonder if Mister Bao knows about this?"
"Nonsense!" Bao Cheng sneered. "Where did you hear this nonsense!"
Chu Li said, "I don't know if it's true or not, so I want to try."
"High Official Li, let Mr. Bao do it first," Song Manyin laughed softly. "I appreciate High Official Li's intention!"
She felt that Bao Cheng had a guilty conscience.
However, since she had already invited him over, she could not give up halfway and use Chu Li again.
This was related to the principle and conduct of using people. She was the sect leader of Heaven Blade Sect and could not do whatever she wanted.
Chu Li shook his head helplessly.
"Let me recuperate for a day, I'll do it tomorrow," Bao Cheng said.
"Alright." Song Manyin nodded and clapped her hands.
A young lady in a green shirt came out from the forest and crossed the lake to the gazebo.
"Take good care of Mr. Bao," Song Manyin said, "Don't let anyone disturb him."
"Yes," the young lady in a green shirt responded and bowed to let Bao Cheng go.
Bao Cheng took a deep look at Chu Li before he turned and left.
Chu Li watched him leave and sighed.
Song Manyin said, "High Official Li, thank you."
Chu Li asked, "You still don't need my help?"
Song Manyin smiled. "Let's see Mr. Bao tomorrow!"
Although she suspected Bao Cheng and hated him, she did not immediately turn to Chu Li as she was wary of him.
After a while, the young lady in a green shirt said, "Sect Leader."
"How is it? Has Mr. Bao rested?" Song Manyin asked.
The young lady in a green shirt hesitated for a while before she shook her head. "Sect Leader, Mr. Bao left right away. He said he's going back to recuperate and will come back tomorrow."
Chu Li slapped his thigh. "Oh no!"
Song Manyin's face turned gloomy.
She reacted quickly and stared at Chu Li coldly.
It seemed that Bao Cheng had found the Formless Blade and secretly went to retrieve it!
Chu Li sighed. "It seems that Sect Leader Song and the Formless Blade are not fated. In my opinion, you should let it go."
"Hmph!" Song Manyin said coldly, "I must get the Formless Blade!"
Chu Li fist saluted. "Then I'll take my leave."
"I won't see you out!" Song Manyin scoffed.
Chu Li disappeared in a flash and appeared in a small valley next to a surging river. His figure flashed a few times before he appeared in the depths of the valley. He took out the Formless Blade that was embedded in a stone.
The Non-Phase Blade was in between existence and non-existence. He gently held it up. It was only a ball of light and shadow, indistinct and indistinct, as if it fell into the water. The water gently swayed, making its shadow sway, making it hard to see clearly.
Not only its appearance, but its essence was the same. It seemed to exist yet not exist. It seemed to exist yet not exist. When touched, it seemed to be real yet not real. It was hard to tell.
He let out a smile and transformed the Hellfire energy into the Formless Blade.
Suddenly, the shadow on his palm disappeared without a trace. Only a trace of the Hellfire energy remained in his senses. The blade had disappeared. He could not touch it even if he stretched out his hand. It was as if it had truly disappeared.
He dared to retrieve the Formless Blade now because the Hellfire energy was finally proven. It was able to hide from Bao Cheng's deduction. It should be able to hide from the Star Seizing Sect's senses too. He would not get into big trouble if he carried it with him.
Moreover, he had no choice but to retrieve it. Bao Cheng would definitely be able to find it if he did not play any tricks the next time he used the Prophecy Stone.
If he retrieved the Formless Blade, Bao Cheng would not be able to bear the consequences. Song Manyin would not let him go.
