Just as Chu Li was about to descend the Great Light Peak, a white figure flashed before his eyes. Sun Mingyue appeared out of thin air.
Chu Li stopped and fist saluted. "Saint?"
Sun Mingyue took out a jade pendant and handed it to Chu Li. "Take this!"
Chu Li took it.
It was warm and delicate, and glowed. It was obvious that it was an extraordinary item.
"What's this?" Chu Li touched the jade pendant.
Sun Mingyue glared at him.
Chu Li suddenly felt embarrassed. The pendant he took out from her chest still had her warmth and fragrance. It was a little frivolous to touch it like this.
He nonchalantly put away the jade pendant and put it in his bosom. "Why did the Saint Lady give me this?"
"I can sense it," Sun Mingyue said. "If you're in danger, crush this pendant and I'll appear."
Chu Li was surprised.
He had a treasure like this too. It was condensed by his All-Seeing Divine Power and needed to be refined for a month. If he was in danger, he could sense it by crushing it and rush over immediately.
It was not easy to refine this item, but he had the All-Seeing Divine Power. Even if the materials were difficult to obtain, he could still refine it. That was why all the women around him had one in case he could not save them in time.
He did not expect Sun Mingyue to have one too.
He took it out and looked at it. "With the Saint's item, how could the two Royal Tombs lose their lives?"
As long as they crushed the pendant, Sun Mingyue would sense it and arrive in time to save them.
Sun Mingyue said, "They don't have this."
Chu Li smiled. "I'm flattered that the Saint favors me so much!"
Sun Mingyue glared at him coldly. "If they feel restricted, I can appear anytime with this pendant."
"I see!" Chu Li was enlightened.
He had thought about it too. If not for this, he would not want this pendant. If Sun Mingyue suddenly appeared when he was Chu Li or doing something secret, everything would be exposed.
Even if the four Royal Tombs did not have as many secrets as he did, the thought of the Saint appearing at any time made them uncomfortable.
Sun Mingyue said, "It's too dangerous for you to go to Stargazing Pavilion this time. Just take this and give it to me when you return!"
"Thank you, Saint." Chu Li fist saluted. "I'll take my leave now."
"Go." Sun Mingyue waved her hand and disappeared.

In a flash, Chu Li appeared at the foot of a mountain and glided into the mountain. Through the Omniscient Mirror, he saw the Asuras one by one.
They each had their own rooms. Some were eating, while others were resting. They were slacking off and not cultivating.
Chu Li appeared next to a thin elder, who was the Deputy Commander. The Bishop of the Divine Church of Asura had entrusted this group of Asuras to him, asking him to lead them in a rebellion. They had wanted to kill him, but Chu Li had instigated their rebellion instead.
The Thin Elder was sitting cross-legged on the bed, channeling when he suddenly opened his eyes and saw Chu Li. He closed fist saluted, "Greetings, Young Master."
Chu Li asked, "Jiang Heng, do you have anything that belonged to your Bishop?"
"This …" A hesitant look appeared on the thin elder's face.
Now that he had completely converted to Chu Li, Chu Li's words were equivalent to his master's words. He had no intention of resisting, but when it came to the bishop that he had always respected, he was a little hesitant. He did not know if he should tell the truth.
Chu Li said, "I want to have a chat with your bishop so that he can convert."
Jiang Heng shook his head and said, "Young Master, please don't have such hopes."
Chu Li smiled. "Are you saying that I can't convert him?"
"Yes, even the Saint couldn't convert the bishop back then." Jiang Heng slowly said, "The bishop's Asura Power Technique is at a profound level, and the Great Light Scripture can't convert him."
Chu Li asked, "Between my Great Light Scripture and the Saint, which one is stronger?"
"The Saint," Jiang Heng answered.
Chu Li frowned at him.
Jiang Heng said, "Young Master, we've all been converted by the Saint before. Later on, the bishop helped us break free from the Saint's restraints. Although you've converted us again, we'll still break free if the bishop makes a move."
"Your bishop can break the Great Light Scripture?" Chu Li frowned. "If he's that powerful, he doesn't have to wait until the Saint is distracted to make a move. He can just fight the Saint head-on."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows as he saw something strange in Jiang Heng's mind.
A handsome middle-aged man in a green robe was holding a blood-red bead and rolling it between the eyebrows of the Asuras. After rolling it more than ten times, the Asuras that were rolled began to change their appearance. Their eyes became long and narrow, and their fingernails grew long and gleamed like sharp blades.
Chu Li immediately understood that this was the method to break the conversion. Through this blood-red bead, the bishop of the Divine Asura Church broke the conversion of the people.
However, they still managed to hide it from Sun Mingyue. It was a brilliant method.
Jiang Heng said, "The Saint's cultivation level is high, and we're no match for her. If we fight the Saint head-on, the Saint will get rid of us first, and the bishop won't have any help. He won't be able to become the bishop, so he won't fight the Saint head-on."
"What about now?" Chu Li scoffed. "Since you've already rebelled, why hasn't he shown himself?"
Jiang Heng frowned and remained silent.
Chu Li calmly said, "He abandoned you and escaped on his own."
"Impossible." Jiang Heng shook his head.
Chu Li smiled and remained silent.
Jiang Heng said, "The bishop is ambitious, and he needs our help to succeed. He can't do it alone."
"Tell me, what does he have with him?" Chu Li scoffed.
"This …" Jiang Heng's intuition told him that Chu Li wanted to harm the bishop. With the bishop's personal belongings, it would be like adding wings to a tiger, so he could not say it out loud.
Chu Li glared at him and scoffed. "You're so loyal!"
He strode to the bookshelf and took out a thick scripture book.
He flipped through it casually and saw that the scripture was from the Great Light Scripture.
Chu Li nodded nonchalantly as he flipped through it. "I didn't expect him to study the Great Light Scripture!"
"You …" Jiang Heng looked at Chu Li in shock.
There were about a hundred books on the bookshelf, so it was not a fluke that he was able to find this book.
Chu Li glanced at him. "This book has a strong aura, and it's not hard to find it if you're sensitive. This belongs to your bishop, right?"
Jiang Heng shook his head and remained silent.
Chu Li ignored him and continued to read the scripture book. There were some scribbles and narration left on the book. It was obvious that the bishop of the Divine Church of Asura was studying this Great Light Scripture.
If he really comprehended it, it would be troublesome. Not only would the Great Light Scripture not be able to restrain him, but it could also restrain the cultivator of the Great Light Scripture.
Jiang Heng stared at the scripture book with a conflicted expression.
Chu Li suddenly stopped. A line of scribbles caught his attention because it was written with the words "Wu City".
Wu City was the place where the Stargazing Pavilion disciple died. Wu City was an inconspicuous small town, so why would the bishop of the Divine Church of Asura write Wu City here? Could it be that the bishop of the Divine Church of Asura really killed the Stargazing Pavilion disciple?
More importantly, how did he know that the Stargazing Pavilion disciple would be in Wu City?
