Although he only caught a glimpse of it, he was able to determine that the person who attacked was the Master of the Devil Sect, the woman who had always been elusive.
He had always been wary of this woman. He felt that she was behind everything, including his shortened lifespan and his premature death. That was why he was always on guard against her.
He did not use the Heavenly Light Orb previously because of this. He was not afraid that the woman would kill him now, but he was worried that she would do something to stop his resurrection. That would be the most troublesome thing.
He felt that the Heavenly Light Orb had such an effect, so it was better to stay away from it.
This time, he was already on high alert to prevent her from suddenly appearing or letting others disturb him. He was afraid that she might be plotting something in Mysterious Sky City, so he agreed to Song Jing's suggestion.
This place was not expected by others. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he still could not prevent it.
"Cough cough cough cough …" Song Jing coughed violently. Her fair lips were stained with blood, and her white gown was dyed red. It was especially glaring and frightening.
Chu Li endured the pain and weakness as he struggled to get up and went to Song Jing.
Song Jing opened her eyes, but they were dull. She looked at Chu Li blankly. "It's her?"
She was smart. From the fact that this person appeared without being noticed by the two of them, and that his cultivation level was so high that he could kill her with one palm, she knew that this person's cultivation level was rare. It was likely that he was the leader of the Devil Sect.
Chu Li slowly nodded. "It's her!"
"It seems like the Life Stone can really save your life." Song Jing forced a smile. "And she's determined to kill you!"
Chu Li pressed on her wrist and used the Large Circle Mystical Mirror to observe. A force went into it to sense. He frowned. "She really wants to kill you."
Song Jing scoffed. "I'm dragged into this because of you. She's worried that I can save you."
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
"We're going to die together." Song Jing shook her head. "I never thought that I'd die with you!"
Chu Li said, "You won't die, but I have to go first."
Song Jing frowned and looked at him in confusion.
Chu Li said, "I'm most sorry for my wife. She's still in Isolated Cultivation at Mist Peak. She didn't know that I'd die, so I didn't tell her in advance."
"Xiao Qi?" Song Jing scoffed coldly.
Chu Li nodded slowly. "Madam is extremely intelligent. It's very likely that her state of mind will be disturbed and she'll come out of isolated cultivation ahead of time, delaying her cultivation."
"You're really infatuated!" Song Jing said coldly, "You're still thinking about Madam at this time."
Chu Li said, "I've let down my wife's sincerity."
Deep down in his heart, he had always felt guilty towards Xiao Qi. As the young lady of the High Duke's Public House, she was born into a noble family and was favored by the Emperor. She loved him, who was penniless, but he could not treat her wholeheartedly. She even had other women in her heart.
Song Jing said faintly, "For you to think this way, it's good that you treat Madam well. … Monk, you think too highly of yourself. Don't worry, I don't have feelings for you!"
Chu Li put his palms together with a smile and said, "After I die, I'll have to trouble you to send my sarira back to the Great Mercy Temple."
He didn't want to be involved in a romantic relationship anymore, so he cut off her thoughts in advance just in case. This was good for both of them.
Song Jing frowned. "I'm about to die too. Forgive me for not being able to help."
Chu Li shook his head and smiled. "You won't die!"
As he spoke, he struck his palms a few times at lightning speed. Before Song Jing could react, she was restrained and could not move at all.
She frowned and stared at Chu Li. "What are you trying to do?"
Chu Li smiled. "I know a secret skill that can save you, but it's a pity that I'll have to sacrifice the rest of my lifespan. Take this as a reward for your help. After you send my sarira back to the Great Mercy Temple, return to Mysterious Sky City immediately and cultivate. Don't think about going against the Devil Sect anymore!"
"I can't accept it!" Song Jing scoffed. "My reward isn't that expensive!"
Chu Li smiled and shook his head. He struck her again to seal her mute acupuncture point.
Song Jing's eyes widened as she glared at him.
Chu Li smiled at her and closed his eyes. He slowly channeled his energy and the Buddha in his mind turned into Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Buddha.
The Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture could reverse life and death. With Song Jing's injuries, only the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture could reverse life and death. However, he had to pay with his spiritual energy and lifespan.
Although it did not consume much of his lifespan, given his current situation, all of his lifespan would be consumed.
"Bang bang bang bang!" Chu Li suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were like two whirlpools. One was spinning from the inside out while the other was spinning from the outside in. One was going in the opposite direction and the other was going in the opposite direction. It looked rather strange.
"Amitabha Buddha!" Chu Li chanted and pressed his palms on Song Jing's chest.
"Boom!" A bolt of lightning suddenly struck from the sky without any warning.
Amidst the lightning, Song Jing's body shone with a flickering light.
When the light disappeared, Song Jing opened her eyes. Her face was glowing as if she had been reborn. All of her injuries had been swept away and her energy flow was lively. It felt like her cultivation level had advanced to another level. It was better than before.
She stared at Chu Li in front of her.
Chu Li was already motionless. He was sitting in a lotus position on the ice with his palms pressed together. He looked solemn as if he was meditating.
Song Jing's red lips moved but she could not speak. She knew that Chu Li had passed away and there was no sign of life.
She stared at Chu Li and did not know what to say. Thousands of thoughts were mixed together. Scenes from the past flashed in her mind. Back then, she was so angry that she wanted to kill him. Now that she thought about it, she felt that it was warm and wonderful.
Thousands of feelings intertwined. Her heart surged like angry waves. It was unstoppable and difficult to calm down.
"Sigh …" She sighed faintly.
"Bang!" Suddenly, there was a muffled sound. Chu Li's body shone brightly. It was as if the sun had fallen from the sky.
Then, the light turned into flames and burned fiercely. It was as if he had transformed into a blazing flame, illuminating her beautiful face.
Song Jing had the urge to rush forward and extinguish the flames. She did not want Chu Li to disappear.
A trace of rationality restrained her. She could only watch as Chu Li turned into flames and burned fiercely.
The strange thing was that although the flames were burning fiercely, there was no temperature. It was as if it was just an illusion. The ice under him did not show any signs of melting. It was still hard and clear.
After a while, the flames disappeared. A round, flawless, transparent bead appeared on the ground. It was as if it was carved out of solid ice.
Song Jing walked forward and gently picked up the Sarira. Her emotions that had been surging like angry waves became more complicated. Her eyes were sore and tears were rising in her eyes. She was trying hard to hold back her tears.
She placed the Sarira in her palm. She held it with both hands. It was as if she could feel a trace of warmth from the Sarira. The light and warmth enveloped her. Vaguely, she seemed to see Chu Li standing in front of her and smiling.
"Ding Ru!" She sighed and carefully put the Sarira in her arms. She pressed it against her chest and felt the warmth and light.
At this time, the bell of the Great Mercy Temple rang and shook the surroundings.
All the disciples who were having their morning classes, cultivating in the courtyard, and chatting and laughing stopped abruptly. They raised their heads and looked at the void above the Great Mercy Temple. Sounds of bell tolling came from the void.
"Amitabha Buddha!" The shadows of nine old monks appeared in the void. They faced Chu Li's direction and bowed with their palms pressed together. They chanted the name of Buddha. The name of Buddha spread through the void and did not dissipate for a long time. It was as if it could reach infinity.
