When he appeared at the Blood Sun Sect and wielded the Passing Light Divine Sword, he was suddenly at a loss.
The Blood Sun Sect was empty.
The huge basilica was empty. There was not a single person in the entire Blood Sun Sect. Everything in the buildings had been moved, not even a single piece of furniture was left behind.
They had completely moved away. He focused his senses but found nothing.
He could sense through the Nine Sun Pearl that he had killed all the masters of the Blood Sun Sect. This time, he went directly to the Blood Sun Sect's lair, but he did not expect them to abandon it so decisively.
He used his Heaven's Eye to divine the mysteries of heaven, but there was an invisible force enveloping the Blood Sun Sect. No matter what he did, he couldn't divine anything. He could only stare blankly at the empty palace hall and the small courtyards.
He frowned and scoffed. He was about to enter the basilica and courtyard to look for something to divine their location. However, just as he was about to enter the basilica, he was alarmed.
He instantly disappeared and appeared at the peak of the opposite mountain in the next moment.
With a loud "boom", the basilica and the surrounding courtyards exploded.
In the explosion, the basilica and courtyard shot out stones and debris. A moment later, smoke and dust covered the entire Blood Sun Sect, making it impossible to see clearly.
When the smoke and dust dissipated, the Blood Sun Sect was in ruins. It was no longer habitable. The destruction of the buildings was nothing, but the surrounding trees and flowers were also destroyed, turning it into a wasteland.
Chu Li shook his head.
He did not know how many Nine Sun Pearls had been used to blow up the basilica and the courtyards. This time, the Blood Sun Sect had put in a lot of effort. It was clear how much they hated him. They must want to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
He turned to look into the distance and shouted, "Ladies, why aren't you leaving?"
Zhou Shuang and Zhou Mei appeared.
They did not expect the trap in the Blood Sun Sect to work. They had experienced Chu Li's cunning. The Blood Sun Sect's vicious move could not defeat him. What they saw was true.
Chu Li said, "The Blood Sun Sect cut off their tail to survive. How brave. Was it Miss Zhou's idea?"
"It was Miss Zhou's idea." Zhou Shuang said coldly, "But your good days are over. Hide those two women well. Don't let Miss Zhou find them, or else …"
She snorted and shook her head.
Zhou Mei pouted and said, "Let's see how long you can be a coward and how long they can hide!"
Chu Li replied, "Thank you for your concern."
Zhou Mei cast a sidelong glance at him and said disdainfully, "Don't be so smug now. There will be a time for you to cry!"
With that, the two women disappeared without a trace.
Chu Li's face darkened.
Through the disappearance of the Blood Sun School, he saw a bad omen. The next moment, he appeared at the Heavenly Beast School and saw that it was empty without a single person. Moreover, the place was in ruins.
When he looked at the Heavenly Demon Sect, it was the same.
He didn't even need to look to know that the rest had definitely disappeared. The entire Devil Sect had retreated from their original location. The sect had already moved. This kind of boldness and action had been done without him noticing.
Just thinking about it made him shiver. This kind of lightning-fast action made all the sects in the world blush with shame.
He could deduce that this was not something that could be done in a hurry. They must have made preparations beforehand. When they founded the sect, it was very likely that they had more than one place. A cunning rabbit has three burrows, so they must have made other arrangements.
This Miss Zhou's actions were meticulous and grand. He admired her.
In the next few days, he tried his best to find the traces of the Devil Sect's masters. He even used the Heaven's Eye and the Divination Technique but to no avail. The whole world suddenly became quiet, so quiet that it made people uncomfortable.
The original killing and chaos suddenly disappeared, which made Chu Li more certain that the Devil Sect had been destroyed. The root of the world's chaos was the Devil Sect. The Devil Sect's disciples had been creating chaos to fish in troubled waters.
In the early morning, he returned to the Great Mercy Temple.
He was still worried about the Great Mercy Temple, he felt that he had to warn them again and again, that they must not relax just because things had calmed down. Miss Zhou would definitely deal with the Great Mercy Temple, and use her to manipulate him. If something happened to the Great Mercy Temple, his hands and feet would be tied.
When he arrived at the Great Strength Hall, Abbot Xin Ji was already waiting there. He waved his hand and the two came to Abbot Xin Ji's meditation room.
"Ding Ru, you were able to stop the Devil Sect's revival this time. Your merit is immeasurable." Abbot Xin Ji was wearing a purple and gold kasaya. His tall and burly body sat firmly on the cattail hassock. He said with a warm voice and a smile.
Chu Li said, "Abbot, I was just lucky. I'm afraid there's a deeper meaning behind their retreat this time."
"Hmm." Abbot Xin Ji nodded slightly and sighed. "It's the calm before the storm. The Devil Sect is getting more and more terrifying now."
Previously, the Devil Sect was fighting on their own. Although it was terrifying, they were eventually eradicated by the united efforts of the Buddhist Sect and their inheritance was almost destroyed. However, it was different this time. They were united.
The Devil Sect's heart technique was strange and it was easier to cultivate in the early stages. Once there was a chance to develop, their strength would definitely be stronger than the Buddhist Sect. What was more terrifying was that the Devil Sect now had a common leader. Moreover, he was a wise and powerful person.
This would be a great disaster for the Buddhist Sect.
Chu Li nodded.
Abbot Xin Ji smiled. "However, you were able to force them back and retract their claws. It's already an immeasurable merit. Because of this, there will be fewer people who died in vain in the world. Amitabha."
Chu Li pressed his palms together to return the greeting. He sighed. "I was tied up in front of the Devil Sect's leader."
"The Devil Sect's leader?" Abbot Xin Ji frowned.
Chu Li perked up and quickly asked, "Abbot, do you know her background?"
Abbot Xin Ji shook his head. "I can conclude that she must have an extraordinary background."
Chu Li asked, "Abbot, how extraordinary is her background?"
He was getting more curious. Although there were big families with deep foundations in this world, the fundamental strength was still the sects. Families paled in comparison to the sects, so one's background was more particular about the sects.
However, he could tell from Abbot Xin Ji's words that it was not the sects that were powerful.
Abbot Xin Ji sighed. "These days, I've been trying to find out her background."
Chu Li nodded.
The Great Mercy Temple had a deep foundation that he could not compare to. No matter how powerful the Demon Subduing Temple was, in terms of foundation, it was far from the Great Mercy Temple. Most of the disciples in the Great Mercy Temple only cultivated the Dharmic base.
Cultivating the Dharmic base often gave birth to unimaginable divine powers, which led to unimaginable gains.
Abbot Xin Ji said, "I have a vague guess."
Chu Li was listening attentively.
Abbot Xin Ji sighed. "She's probably a descendant of the Celestial Beings."
"Celestial beings?" Chu Li frowned. "Could she be someone from the First Heaven?"
"Yes." Abbot Xin Ji nodded.
Chu Li said, "People from the First Heaven can't survive here, right?"
"Under normal circumstances, it's impossible to survive." Abbot Xin Ji nodded. "However, there are always exceptions. The current Five Major Buddhist Temples were created by the Celestial Beings."
Chu Li was stunned. He really did not know about this.
