After Sun Mingyue disappeared, the surroundings became quiet and time seemed to freeze.
The two middle-aged men had disappeared and turned into a bloody mist that fell to the ground. It had already turned dark red.
Chu Li and Zhu Hua, who were lying on the ground, were two hundred feet apart. They were motionless as if they had merged with the dust. Dust to dust, dust to dust. He was truly dead.
Time passed slowly. After a quarter of an hour, Chu Li slowly opened his eyes.
He used the Omniscient Mirror and saw the situation clearly. It seemed that he had made the right bet. Sun Mingyue was indeed proud and arrogant. She did not cut off his head and left him here.
He saw Zhu Hua who was motionless as if he was dead.
Zhu Hua was no different from a dead man. It did not look like he was pretending at all. However, Chu Li believed that Zhu Hua's death was fake. He had previously decided to fake his death because he had predicted that Zhu Hua would do so.
His goal was not only to kill Zhu Hua and solve this big problem. He was greedy and wanted more secret skills. The one that he coveted the most was the secret skill that allowed him to freely pass through formations.
Unfortunately, Ding Ruijie did not have this secret skill. He guessed that Zhu Hua might have it and Zhu Hua could perform this secret skill.
The price of performing this secret skill was his lifespan. However, he still wanted to get it. He was willing to sacrifice a few years of his lifespan to save his life. It was extremely precious.
Getting rid of Sun Mingyue's pursuit and the Holy Church of Light's pursuit, as well as the crisis of his identity as Zhao Dahe, could be completely explained away by dying. This time, his fake death could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
However, the risk was also great. If Sun Mingyue still wanted to stab him and cut off his head, then he would really be dead!
He had a good grasp of Sun Mingyue's character, but there was still a great risk. Fortunately, he was lucky and did not make a mistake.
He floated up and showed the wonders of the Life and Death Scripture. After dying once, it was as if he had entered a reincarnation cycle. His old injuries were gone and his body was full of vitality.
He appeared beside Zhu Hua and reached out to pat him a few times.
Zhu Hua's body was stiff, but Chu Li did not give up.
Unfortunately, once he died, his meridians would be hidden, so he could not completely destroy his martial arts. Fortunately, Sun Mingyue's previous two punches had broken his meridians and shattered his internal organs. Even if he came back to life, he would not be able to do anything for a while.

Sun Mingyue suddenly appeared at the Great Light Peak. Just as she was about to go to the cave, she suddenly stopped and turned her head to look in the direction of the Divine Light Basilica. Then, in a flash, she returned to the Divine Light Basilica.
Inside the Light Palace, Fang Qingyang was standing in front of two middle-aged men, preventing them from leaving.
"Xiao Fang, stop messing around!" A round-faced middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "You know that the Saint has ordered High Official Li to stay at the Great Light Peak, but he left without permission. This is against the Saint's order. Of course, we can't just sit back and watch."
Fang Qingyang shook his head and said, "It's just that she was too impatient and left earlier. She's a high official, not a prisoner. The Saint invited her here to meet her, not to imprison her. Since she's left, we'll meet again next time!"
"Xiao Fang, don't play dumb!" The square-faced middle-aged man said coldly, "Although she's a high official, the Saint has forced her to come to the Great Light Peak. Naturally, there must be a deeper meaning to it. Although it's not to imprison her, it's more like it!"
Fang Qingyang shook his head. "There's a rule in the cult that we can't be rude to the high priests."
"Hmph, although we can't be rude to the high priests, Li Hanyan is an exception!" The square-faced middle-aged man said coldly, "Think about how many of our disciples she's killed!"
"I see, Elder Lu, you still hold a grudge!" Fang Qingyang scoffed.
"I'm not that petty!"
"Elder Lu, you still hold a grudge against Patrol Lu, right?"
"Hmph!" The square-faced middle-aged man snorted coldly and remained silent, obviously admitting to it.
Fang Qingyang said, "Patrol Lu has only reached the Great Light Realm. Elder Lu, you don't have to be too sad."
"If Li Hanyan doesn't have anything on her, I'll ignore her. If she does, I won't let her go!" The square-faced middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
Fang Qingyang said, "This isn't considered anything, right?"
"Xiao Fang, you're bewitched!" The square-faced middle-aged man shook his head.
The round-faced middle-aged man sighed. "Xiao Fang, if the Saint blames you, can you bear it?"
"I'll bear it!" Fang Qingyang said.
Sun Mingyue suddenly appeared and said coldly, "What are you going to bear!"
"Saint!" The three of them hurriedly fist saluted.
Sun Mingyue said coldly, "Li Hanyan ran away?"
Fang Qingyang said, "She left early."
"How dare she!" Sun Mingyue said lightly.
Fang Qingyang hurriedly said, "Saint, she's in a difficult position. On one side is the Holy Church, and on the other side is Chu Li …"
Sun Mingyue waved her hand. "Go, catch up with her and escort her back."
"Saint …" Fang Qingyang was stunned.
Sun Mingyue said, "It's rare that she was a loyal person. Now that Chu Li is dead, comfort her."
"Chu Li is dead?" Fang Qingyang asked.
Sun Mingyue nodded. "I think Li Hanyan will hate the Holy Church. Tell her that she killed the patrol and we killed Chu Li, it's normal. She's also a High Official of the Holy Church. As long as she understands this, she can come back."
"I'm just afraid …" Fang Qingyang sighed. "Chu Li is her benefactor."
"Do as you see fit." Sun Mingyue said, "I don't want to kill her. Whether she lives or dies is up to you."
"Yes." Fang Qingyang's heart was heavy as he slowly nodded.
Sun Mingyue waved her hand.
The three of them left the Divine Light Basilica.
In a flash, Sun Mingyue appeared outside the formation at the top of the mountain and slowly walked inside.
She suddenly felt hesitant.
If Zhao Dahe was not in the cave, it would mean that Zhao Dahe and Chu Li were the same person.
Although she did not believe it and was certain that they were not the same person, she still felt a little hesitant. She could not see through Chu Li or Zhao Dahe, so she could not completely relax.
After taking a deep breath, she walked inside again and soon reached the outside of the cave.
There was no movement inside. She frowned. "Zhao Dahe?"
There was still no response from inside.
Her heart sank. She took a few more steps forward and pushed open the door of the stone room. She finally saw Chu Li on the bed.
Chu Li's eyes were closed and he was motionless as if he was in a meditative state.
Sun Mingyue appeared in front of the bed in a flash and placed her hand on Chu Li's wrist. An extremely weak, thin thread of inner energy entered and circled around his wrist. Then, she let go of her hand and smiled.
His internal organs were healthy and uninjured. His meridians were also full of vitality. It was obvious that his inner energy had improved.
When she saw Chu Li earlier, he was seriously injured and on the verge of death. Even if he had taken the spirit medicine and had a shocking recovery ability, he would need at least a month to recover. Now, Zhao Dahe was healthy and strong. He was in a good state of cultivation.
She smiled and finally calmed down. This Zhu Hua was really vicious to create such a rumor. It was good that he died!
She immediately thought of Chu Li. Her smile faded and she felt a little pity.
She did not disturb Chu Li's cultivation and fluttered away.
Chu Li suddenly disappeared from the cave and appeared next to Zhu Hua.
At this time, Zhu Hua had already woken up and was about to enter the formation. He staggered and looked like he would fall at any time.
Chu Li knew that he had taken the spirit medicine. Although he was seriously injured, he could still walk. Otherwise, he would not be able to move at all.
