Chu Li was startled and could not help but laugh. "Is something happening in the Zheng Dynasty again?"
He was secretly annoyed. He had already predicted that the Zheng Dynasty was not being honest and was going to provoke them again. Now, he wanted to teach them a lesson.
Sun Mingyue nodded, her white clothes fluttering like snow. "They're going to ambush you and use me as bait to lure you into the military formation."
"Military formation!" Chu Li shook his head and laughed. "No matter how stupid I am, I won't go into the military formation, right?"
"If Zheng Xilai is in the formation, do you dare to go in?" Sun Mingyue asked.
Chu Li frowned. "If Zheng Xilai is here, I'll give it a try."
"Zheng Xilai is likely to be the bait. Based on his character, he's likely to be the bait with me. I don't believe you won't take the bait." Sun Mingyue said. "Can you resist the temptation?"
Chu Li thought about it and smiled. "I really can't."
He then sighed and shook his head. "I'm speechless to see such an open scheme. I'm impressed. If he really dares to be the bait, I'll take the bait!"
Sun Mingyue frowned.
Chu Li said, "I'm confident."
"In the military formation, spiritual energy is cut off. Inner energy alone won't be able to support much." Sun Mingyue said. "Don't you know that?"
Chu Li smiled. "Of course."
"If that's the case, you still dare to go in?"
"I'll kill another emperor. I'd like to see how many emperors the Zheng Dynasty has to kill." Chu Li chuckled. "It's not impossible to fight against the world alone."
"You're just asking for trouble," Sun Mingyue said.
Chu Li shook his head. "Let's wait and see."
"The Zheng Dynasty has a Blood Dragon Tree. It bears a Blood Dragon Fruit every hundred years. After eating it, one can become a Grandmaster through special means." Sun Mingyue said, "I know you have a special ability with spirit herbs. You might be able to revive them. I'll ask Zheng Xilai for a Blood Dragon Branch. It's up to you."
"Blood Dragon Tree?" Chu Li was surprised. "There's a Blood Dragon Tree outside the Hundred-Thousand Hills?"
It was said that the Blood Dragon Tree was a tree formed from the death of a Golden Dragon. It contained the essence of the Golden Dragon's blood, and it also had the special characteristics of the Golden Dragon. It could absorb the essence of the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to form the Blood Dragon Fruit, which had the effect of remolding one's body. Not only that, it could also rapidly raise one's cultivation.
He thought it was only a legendary item. Even if it existed, it would only be in the Hundred Thousand Mountains and would not appear outside the Hundred Thousand Mountains. He did not expect the Zheng Dynasty to have such a tree.
What concerned him even more was that he did not manage to find out about it. It seemed like the Secret Guardians Hall was still too far behind the Holy Church of Light.
"I think Zheng Xilai will agree to it. You can see if it's true when the time comes," Sun Mingyue said.
Chu Li nodded and said, "Looks like I'll have to return to my identity as Zhao Dahe. I'll follow you and have a look."
"Alright." Sun Mingyue nodded lightly.
She looked dazed for a moment.
At the mention of Zhao Dahe, she felt a sense of familiarity and distance. It had not been a long time since they last met, but it felt like a hundred years had passed. It was both strange and familiar at the same time.
Chu Li smiled. "Give me a moment."
He suddenly disappeared and reappeared after a while. He had already changed into a green robe and his face had changed to Zhao Dahe's. Although he was not as ugly as before, he was still not handsome.
Sun Mingyue felt a sense of familiarity when she looked at his face. She shook her head and said, "You have to restrain your power."
Chu Li shook his head. "It's not good if it's too low. Announce to the public that Zhao Dahe is in isolated cultivation. Since he's in isolated cultivation, based on his talent, his martial arts should have improved greatly. It's good that he has reached this stage. If he's any weaker, he won't be qualified to stand by your side."
"Alright, it's up to you." Sun Mingyue nodded lightly.
—
Chu Li appeared in the Divine Light Basilica.
When he appeared, Du Ying, who was at the entrance of the basilica, widened her eyes in shock. She looked at him blankly.
Chu Li smiled and fist saluted. "Senior Sister Du, it's been a while."
Du Ying regained her senses and quickly said, "Priest Zhao, you … you've come out of isolated cultivation?"
Chu Li nodded. "If I didn't come out, the Bishop would have expelled me from the Holy Church of Light!"
Du Ying pursed her lips and chuckled. She looked at Sun Mingyue and quickly shut her mouth. She nodded slightly and retreated. Her footsteps were a little joyful.
Li Meng looked at Chu Li in surprise and sized him up.
She had heard of Zhao Dahe, Priest Zhao's legendary experience many times. It was said that he was a genius who was second only to the Bishop in the Holy Church of Light. She had always been curious and finally, she had met him in person.
She was a little disappointed. At his age, even if he was experienced, it was inevitable that he would be more concerned about his appearance. Everyone said that he was ugly, but he was even uglier than that. He could be considered ugly.
Chu Li also looked at her and nodded.
During this period of time, she had improved a lot. It seemed that she had been cultivating very hard and was in a period of rapid improvement. She would only slow down after a while.
"Priest Zhao, I've heard a lot about you." Li Meng fist saluted.
Chu Li smiled. "You're welcome, Young Bishop."
"I don't dare to address you as Young Bishop." Li Meng quickly waved her hand.
Chu Li smiled. "The Bishop's disciple is, of course, the Young Bishop. You're the future Bishop, but you haven't reached the Grandmaster's Boundary yet, so you can't become the Saint. However, it's a piece of cake for you."
"You flatter me." Li Meng waved her hand.
She became wary of Chu Li.
As the saying went, those who were unaccountably solicitous were hiding evil intentions. Since he was complimenting her as soon as they met, he must be up to no good. She had to be careful of him.
Chu Li saw through her thoughts and nodded to himself. Li Meng's original naivety had faded away. She had become more scheming and shrewd.
To ordinary people, this was not a good thing. It meant that the beauty of the heart had faded away. Instead, they were staring at the ugliness of human nature.
From then on, the world would no longer be beautiful, only ugly.
This was a little cruel to Li Meng, but she had no choice. This was the price that the Saint and the Bishop had to pay. If she could still maintain a pure heart under such circumstances and adjust herself with a heart that discovered beauty, then she would be truly capable.
Sun Mingyue said, "Meng Er, I won't lie to you. Priest Zhao is Chu Li in disguise."
"Master's Junior Chu Chu?" Li Meng's eyes widened.
Chu Li smiled. "Why tell her?"
"If you don't tell her, aren't you afraid that she'll rebel?" Sun Mingyue glared at him.
Chu Li smiled and shook his head. "I'll hide it from her for a while. It'll be more interesting to tell her at the end."
"Master's Junior Chu, how did you become like this?" Li Meng rolled her eyes at him and asked curiously, "What martial art is this? Oh, could it be the famous Heavenly Demonic Power? "
Chu Li turned to Sun Mingyue and said, "Li Meng has really improved."
Sun Mingyue said, "If you can't even guess this, won't your efforts be in vain?"
Li Meng said proudly, "It's all thanks to Master's and Master's Junior's guidance."
She had only guessed it after a flash of inspiration. Zhao Dahe's identity was flawless. No one in the Church knew about it. There were many extraordinary people in the Church, so they could not find out that Zhao Dahe was a fake. Naturally, it was not an ordinary disguise technique.
In this way, the most powerful disguise technique in the world was the Heavenly Demonic Power. She had guessed it right in one go.
"Meng Er, don't expose yourself," Sun Mingyue said.
Li Meng said, "Don't worry, Master."
"Go then. I'll go out with your Master's Junior Chu. If there's anything in the Church, you can handle it as you see fit," Sun Mingyue said. "If there's anything you can't handle, stay here and wait for my return."
