Chu Li said helplessly, "Senior Brother Ding Hua, I'm really sorry. If we're threatened by Song Jing, more of our Senior Brothers will be in danger. She'll keep capturing Senior Brothers or Master's Uncles to threaten our Great Mercy Temple!"
"Indeed!" Monk Ding Hua nodded.
Those who were able to enter the Great Mercy Temple were all extremely talented and intelligent people. However, it was inevitable that they would lose their cool when it came to matters like this. Now that they thought about it, they understood that Chu Li's decision was the right one.
He would rather watch her kill him and use the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture to revive him than be threatened by her.
Monk Ding Ding asked solemnly, "Junior Brother, you're not injured?"
Chu Li smiled bitterly. "I'm alright."
Blood gushed out of his mouth as he spoke.
Monk Ding Ding shook his head and sighed. "This woman is truly too powerful, yet the Grand Masters are unwilling to kill her!"
"She's injured. She can rest for a few days," Chu Li said.
Monk Ding Ding sighed. "It's really not easy for you to injure him."
They had asked Chu Li to hold Song Jing back and temporarily distract her attention so that they could find a way to deal with her. They had never thought that Chu Li would be able to hurt Song Jing. After all, the difference in their cultivation levels was too great. It would be fine as long as Song Jing did not cripple him. If it were not for God's Limbs, they would not have dared to send Chu Li to his death.
Chu Li nodded. "I was lucky indeed."
He risked his injury to attack Song Jing the moment she let her guard down. Coupled with the marvelous Non-Phase Blade, he was able to succeed in one strike. It was almost a sneak attack.
However, after this strike, it would be extremely difficult for him to injure Song Jing again. With Song Jing's cultivation and alertness, she would not give him a chance.
However, this time, it was enough. The Non-Phase Blade had the power of hellfire, so it would not be easy for Song Jing to get rid of it. In order to buy him some time, he had to obtain the merit as soon as possible to improve his Great Wisdom Dragon and Elephant Method.
He asked directly, "Senior Brother Ding Ding, is there any news?"
Monk Ding Ding knew what he was referring to and shook his head lightly.
Chu Li looked disappointed.
Monk Ding Ding said, "Junior Martial Brother, you should heal yourself as soon as possible."
"Alright." Chu Li nodded.
Monk Ding Hua and Monk Ding Ding left his small courtyard. Before Ding Hua left, he put his palms together and remembered this favor.
Chu Li immediately changed his clothes and changed his face before appearing at the Southern Heavenly Gate in a flash.
Since there was no news from the Great Mercy Temple, he would go to the Southern Heavenly Gate's Hall of Merit to search for it. There should be some news there.
Just as he returned to his courtyard, he heard footsteps coming from outside. Jing Xiaojie and Mo Yufang appeared together.
The two women, one in white and one in green, were both beautiful and moving.
"Brother Li, did the Heaven-Saber Sect give you the Heaven-Saber Badge?" Jing Xiaojie asked with a smile.
Chu Li took out a small knife and handed it to them. "This is it."
"The Heaven-Saber Badge …" Jing Xiaojie received it and inspected it, before she exclaimed, "The Heaven-Saber Sect is willing to do us a favor with this. The Heaven-Saber Sect has a great reputation, and they will definitely do their best!"
Chu Li nodded.
Jing Xiaojie handed the Heavenly Saber Token to Mo Yufang. "Sect Master Song doesn't want to make things difficult for me?"
Chu Li shook his head.
He didn't mention that Song Manyin was looking for the Formless Blade, which would cause complications. The Formless Blade was driven by the fire of karma, which could eliminate the cause and effect and isolate the mystery of heaven.
"That's good." Jing Xiaojie heaved a sigh of relief. "Then, Brother Li, you should rest well. Let's go."
As she spoke, she pulled Mo Yufang out.
Mo Yufang quickly handed the Heaven-Saber Badge back to Chu Li, smiled at him, and left with Jing Xiaojie.
Chu Li fumbled with the Heaven-Saber Badge, then disappeared in a flash and reappeared outside the Heaven-Saber Sect. Song Manyin's voice was heard. "Young Brother Li, come in!"
Chu Li arrived at the front hall.
Song Manyin, who was dressed in white, was sitting in the hall reading a book, her gentle and beautiful face was solemn.
When she saw him enter, she gently put down the book and smiled. "You're here."
Chu Li smiled. "I have to congratulate Sect Leader Song for finding the Formless Blade."
Song Manyin's smile disappeared, and she scoffed. "I didn't find it!"
Chu Li was surprised. "That Mister Bao didn't find the Formless Blade?"
"No!" Song Manyin said coldly, "I think it's in his hands."
"Then he …?" Chu Li asked.
"He went back!" Song Manyin sneered. "He left in a hurry!"
Chu Li was surprised. "If he left suddenly, did he really not find it? If not, he must be feeling guilty and tried to cover it up. "
"He's fearless and thinks that I can't do anything to him!" Song Manyin scoffed. "He's a High Official of the Equal of Heaven Faction. Even if I don't respect him, I still have to respect him. Moreover, I'm the one who asked for his help!"
Chu Li sighed and slowly nodded. "Sect Leader, you don't have to rush. If he really got it, he'll definitely look for you again. It's just that he'll have to pay a bigger price."
Song Manyin shook her head.
She was not worried about Bao Cheng's greed, but that the Formless Blade would be hidden and would never be found again.
If she was the Sect Leader of the Equal of Heaven Faction, she would do the same. She would rather give up on the Prophet Stone and other benefits than to let the Formless Blade fall into her hands. Otherwise, she would be like a tiger with wings, and she could directly suppress the Equal of Heaven Faction.
She initially had a glimmer of hope, but after seeing Bao Cheng's performance, she was in despair. She faintly felt that she had no fate with the Formless Blade anymore. She could not just barge into the Equal of Heaven Faction to ask Bao Cheng for the blade.
Chu Li said, "Sect Leader, you don't have to worry. Bao Cheng is greedy, and he may not be loyal to the Equal of Heaven Faction."
"Although he's greedy, he's not stupid," Song Manyin said.
Chu Li smiled. "No matter how smart a person is, as long as he's greedy enough, he'll do stupid things!"
"Do you have a way?" Song Manyin asked.
Chu Li smiled without saying a word.
Song Manyin looked at him deeply and scoffed. "You guys who are proficient in deduction are not easy to deal with. You must have a request, right?"
Chu Li said, "The Prophet Stone!"
"I can't give it to you," Song Manyin shook her head.
Chu Li said, "What if I can take the Formless Blade from Bao Cheng?"
"You can take it?" Song Manyin was stunned.
Chu Li said, "Bao Cheng is smart, but he's not stupid. What if he trades with me instead of you, Sect Leader?"
Song Manyin's eyes lit up.
Bao Cheng was indeed a greedy person, but he also knew that once the Equal of Heaven Faction knew that he returned the Formless Blade to her, he would definitely not have a good ending. Therefore, he would definitely have scruples. However, if he traded with Li Qi, it would be different.
Chu Li smiled. "What do you think?"
"Alright!" Song Manyin said in a low voice. "If you can get the Formless Blade, I can trade the Prophet Stone with you and the Flash Light Sword!"
"It's a deal!" Chu Li closed fist saluted and smiled.
Song Manyin said, "I'm not someone who goes back on my words!"
Chu Li closed fist saluted and smiled. "Sect Leader, wait for my good news!"
He disappeared in a flash after he finished speaking.
The next moment, he appeared beside the surging river. Not far from him was a small valley. There was a natural formation there, and the Formless Blade was hidden in this valley.
He took out the Formless Blade, and there was a ball of flickering light in his palm. It seemed real and illusory at the same time.
He moved his mind and extracted the Fire of Karma from it.
As the Scripture of the Glazed Lotus became more profound, he became more familiar with the control of the Fire of Karma. Although he could not convert too much of it, it was only a little, but he could change it at will. It was beyond imagination.
"It's really here!" Bao Cheng suddenly appeared in front of him with a loud laugh.
Chu Li sized him up, then withdrew his hand into his sleeve and hid the Formless Blade.
"Hand it over!" Bao Cheng said in a low voice. "My guess was right, you've been playing tricks all along!"
Chu Li smiled.
