"No matter how good he is, he's still a Priest from the Holy Church of Light, not a disciple of the White Lotus Palace. Don't get your hopes up. "Xia Xiao shook her head." However, his talent in swordsmanship is really amazing. He should've joined the Ultimate Temple instead of the Holy Church of Light. "
"Sigh, it'd be great if I knew him earlier." Xia Rou looked regretful.
The Holy Church of Light was the leader of the four major sects of the Li Dynasty. As a Priest, he was extremely powerful and influential. Furthermore, power was extremely attractive to a man, so it was difficult for him to leave the Holy Church of Light.
"How can there be such a good thing in this world? Just give up," Xia Xiao said.
Xia Rou nodded. "But I've learned a lot from sparring with him."
"Then let's have a good sparring session and improve together," Xia Xiao said. "I think he likes swordsmanship too."
For the next few days, Chu Li stayed at Xiaochun Yang Peak and sparred with the ladies.
He had learned the White Lotus Palace and was incorporating its subtleties into his original swordsmanship. Currently, he had integrated ten sword techniques. Some were hard, some were soft, some were fast, some were slow, some were exquisite, some were simple, and each had its own unique power.
Currently, the ten sword techniques contained the shadows of other sword techniques. He needed to refine them until the shadows were gone and he could create his own sect.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye. He and Xia Rou were sparring with the Spirit Ape Sword Technique when Du Ying appeared again and asked them to go to the Divine Light Basilica.
It was already evening. The sunset illuminated the Divine Light Basilica with a red glow.
Li Xinghe sat in the armchair to the right of Sun Mingyue with a solemn expression. Sun Mingyue, who was dressed in white and had a white veil covering her face, sat behind the table. Her eyes were cold and she looked displeased.
Xia Rou pursed her lips and chuckled as she entered. "What's going on?"
"Senior Xia." Sun Mingyue sat behind the table elegantly and closed fist saluted. "Young Master Li, you can explain yourself."
Li Xinghe closed fist saluted. "Senior Xia, I've observed the sky and predicted the Church of the Divine Blood's movements."
"Oh? What did you predict? "Xia Rou smiled.
She knew how powerful the disciples of the Stargazing Pavilion were. Their greatest strength was not their martial arts, but their ability to predict the enemy's movements. They were able to predict the opponent's movements through the stars, and thus make arrangements in advance. They could wait for the fish to take the bait, or they could escape, or even hit someone when they were down.
Li Xinghe said, "The Divine Blood Church won't send any more masters over. They're already prepared to deal with the joint attack from the Stargazing Pavilion and the White Lotus Palace."
"That's inevitable. They're not blind." Xia Xiao frowned and said coldly, "How can we hide it from them?"
"Blame me for being incompetent!" Li Xinghe revealed an enraged expression and snorted, "If I hadn't let that fellow escape, we wouldn't have alerted him!"
The Stargazing Pavilion had planned everything out. They would keep their composure and let the Church of the Divine Blood and the Holy Church of Light fight each other. The Holy Church of Light's abilities were not as weak as the Fu Dynasty's martial arts world thought. They were shockingly powerful. If they were to fight the Church of the Divine Blood, they would be able to draw away a large portion of the Church's strength.
When the Church of the Divine Blood's attention was fully focused on the Holy Church of Light and sent out a large portion of their masters, the Stargazing Pavilion would seize the opportunity to raid the Church of the Divine Blood's lair.
Unfortunately, it was difficult to carry out one's wishful thinking in this world. He did not expect the White Lotus Palace to intervene and help the Holy Church of Light. He also did not expect that he would fail to capture the six Church of the Divine Blood's masters and leak the news.
The Church of the Divine Blood had made enemies everywhere. Those who were not smart would have been eliminated a long time ago. When they saw that the Stargazing Pavilion and the White Lotus Palace were at the Holy Church of Light, they would immediately think of the two sects joining forces to deal with him.
Compared to this, taking care of the Holy Church of Light was obviously a trivial matter. They could do it anytime in the future. However, they had to guard against the two sects now, so they would not send any masters to teach the Holy Church of Light a lesson anymore.
Chu Li asked, "Young Master Li, how do you know that they won't send more people over?"
"I deduced it by observing the astronomical phenomena." Li Xinghe frowned.
Chu Li shook his head and said, "Astronomical phenomena aren't a hundred percent accurate, right?"
"Most likely." Li Xinghe's tone was cold as he stared coldly at Chu Li.
He could not tolerate people doubting the antique study of the Stargazing Pavilion. Chu Li's tone was filled with distrust, which made him feel disgusted.
Chu Li said indifferently, "We'd rather believe it's true than not. What if they come? Wouldn't it be terrible if they're defenseless? "
Li Xinghe stared at him with a sullen expression. "Even if they come, the Holy Church of Light shouldn't be powerless to fight back!"
He was annoyed that Chu Li's words had blocked his mouth and prevented him from saying anything else.
Chu Li shook his head and said, "Young Master Li, you must be thinking of sending our masters over, right?"
"It'd be best if they can go. The Stargazing Pavilion will be eternally grateful." Li Xinghe suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice.
Chu Li shook his head. "We've agreed that the Holy Church will only be responsible for the Church of the Divine Blood's masters in the Li Dynasty. They won't go to the Fu Dynasty!"
The martial arts world of the Fu Dynasty viewed the other countries as slaves. They could cause trouble in other countries, but the other countries could not mess around in the Fu Dynasty. Once the Holy Church of Light's masters went to the Fu Dynasty to participate in the battle, they would become the public enemy of the Fu Dynasty's martial arts world.
Li Xinghe frowned and stared at him coldly.
Chu Li said, "If we go to the Fu Dynasty to help you, the Stargazing Pavilion won't be able to protect us!"
Li Xinghe's expression was uncertain.
Xia Rou frowned and said, "Young Master Li, since the Church of the Divine Blood is prepared, I think we should forget about it. Let's just pretend this never happened. It's not worth fighting recklessly."
Even if the two sects did not make a move, the Church of the Divine Blood would be more restrained and would not dare to provoke the Virgin Palace.
Li Xinghe shook his head slowly. "Now that things have come to this, it's like an arrow nocked on a bowstring. We have no choice but to release it."
"If that's the case, won't we have to fight recklessly? That'll be troublesome!" Xia Rou frowned and shook her head. "It's not a good idea."
The Church of the Divine Blood was powerful. If they did not disperse their forces, the Virgin Palace and the Stargazing Pavilion might not be able to break into their headquarters even if they joined forces. Even if they managed to break into their headquarters, their vitality would be greatly damaged. The other sects would definitely take advantage of the situation.
Li Xinghe said, "How can we let go of such an opportunity? We've predicted that the bishop of the Church of the Divine Blood has gone astray in his cultivation."
"I see," Xia Rou muttered.
Li Xinghe said in a low voice, "Once the bishop of the Church of the Divine Blood recovers, you'll miss a great opportunity. Is the Virgin Palace willing to let that happen?"
Chu Li said, "Young Master Li, you're still thinking about attacking the Church of the Divine Blood's headquarters. Is there something you want? Is there something in the headquarters that you're looking for? "
Li Xinghe shook his head. "We just want to teach the Church of the Divine Blood a lesson. They're searching for martial arts from all sects in the world. They're fearless. We should teach them a lesson!"
Sun Mingyue suddenly said, "How about this? Let Priest Zhao go to the Fu Dynasty! Young Master Li, this is the greatest sincerity we can offer. "
Li Xinghe looked at Chu Li. When he saw that Chu Li was about to speak, he quickly sighed and stopped him. He said helplessly, "Alright then, Brother Zhao will go. Thank you, Saint!"
Sun Mingyue said, "Young Master Li, you can go back first. Priest Zhao will leave in three days!"
