"When he grows up, the situation will be set. It'll be useless even if he comes out!" Siao Shi shook her head. "If you want to fight, you have to do it early."
Chu Li smiled. "There's no rush."
Siao Shi frowned as she stared at him.
Siao Qi stopped her sword and sat down to look at him.
The two ladies felt that he was certain that he was hiding something from them.
Chu Li smiled. "I've already made arrangements. When he grows up and wants to come out, it won't be too late for us to act then."
"What arrangements?" Siao Qi asked.
Chu Li said, "I've sent some men to various residences, the Secret Guardians Hall, and the Imperial Palace. In another two years, we'll be able to advance further. It'll be easier for us to fight then."
More than half of Heavenly Demonic Sect's disciples had arrived in the Ji Dynasty. A group of Crouching Bull Mountain's disciples were scattered all over Fairy's Capital, slowly weaving a large net. Through the High Duke's Public House and the Startling Cloud Association, he slowly weaved another net.
He spread his tentacles everywhere under the net. Once he activated it, he would be able to topple mountains and overturn seas. He had the confidence to do so.
No matter how powerful Lu Yurong or the Secret Guardians Hall was, he was confident that he would win. In this way, it was no different than covering the Crown Prince's eyes and ears, making it difficult for him to act.
Once the Mysterious Pavilion's pavilion master died, he would be avenged. If King Ping kept his promise, he would secretly support him. This move was left for the last crucial moment.
Although he did not make a clear move, he had been continuously weaving one net after another.
Under the two ladies' relentless pursuit, Chu Li revealed a part of it. Only then did the two ladies let out a sigh of relief. Their anxiety was alleviated.
"Don't leave the Imperial Residence this month." After Chu Li held the Star Stone and performed the Heaven Peeking Skill, he solemnly said to the two ladies, "Don't go even if there's a Hunting Ceremony. Close the gates."
"What's the matter?" Siao Shi was surprised. "Did you see something?"
Chu Li nodded. "The Heaven Peeking Skill."
Siao Shi curiously asked, "Are we in trouble?"
"You're not in trouble, but the residence is." Chu Li frowned. "Ask Senior Shen to come back."
From what he knew, Shen Yinghu had been staying at Snow Lunar Pavilion for a while, afraid that the other sects would trouble Snow Lunar Pavilion.
"Alright, I'll ask Senior Shen to come back." Siao Shi nodded.
Chu Li fixed his eyes on Xiao Qi.
Xiao Shi rolled her eyes at him, stood up and said, "Alright, you two, hurry back to your own courtyard. Don't be an eyesore here, I'm going to start cultivating!"
Chu Li smiled and stood up to hold Xiao Qi's hand.
Xiao Qi struggled a little but to no avail. She gave up and allowed Chu Li to pull her hand into his courtyard. Then, they closed the door and went into the house. Soon, a faint moaning sound could be heard from the house.
— —
Chu Li felt refreshed and satisfied as he returned to the branch in Falling Autumn City. The corpses had already been removed and the branch was empty except for the six disciples of the Holy Church of Light and the Altar Leader, Shi Zonggu.
Shi Zonggu was sitting in the hall with a cold face, feeling vexed.
Because the weather was too hot, the corpses could not be preserved for too long. They could only be cremated and buried.
Looking at the disciples of the branch who had been burned to ashes, his anger surged. It was as if he could see the disciples of the branch laughing at his incompetence. They couldn't do anything to the murderer and couldn't even find out who the murderer was!
Letting the murderer go free was the biggest insult to the Holy Church of Light!
On the other hand, the Priest whom he had high hopes for had disappeared. He had not seen him until now.
Priest Zhao's speed was extremely fast, far beyond his imagination. However, he only took a glance and then ignored him. It was as if he had disappeared. There was no trace of him investigating the case.
How could he be a Priest with such behavior?
Suddenly, footsteps were heard. Chu Li slowly walked into the basilica.
When Shi Zonggu looked up and saw him, he stood up and fist saluted before sitting down without saying a word.
Chu Li sat opposite him. "Altar Leader Shi, what do you have to say?"
"I have nothing to say!" Shi Zonggu said angrily. "Priest, you're not even in a hurry to investigate the case. Why should I be?"
Chu Li shook his head. It seemed that Shi Zonggu was still not convinced. He still had a long way to go to intimidate everyone as a Priest. This was a great opportunity.
His face darkened. "I've found out that it was Reincarnation Temple's Monk Zhi Shan who led the other two sects to do this!"
"It's them?!" Shi Zonggu was stunned. He frowned. "It should be the White Tiger Sect and the Flaming Sun Sect, right? Did they push the blame to the Reincarnation Temple? That must be the case. How despicable! "
In terms of hatred, Shi Zonggu hated the White Tiger Sect and the other two sects more than the Four Sects of the Qiu Dynasty.
They were enemies with the Four Sects of the martial arts world of the Qiu Dynasty. Their life-and-death battles were up to fate. However, the White Tiger Sect and the other two sects had gone too far. They had destroyed the Radiance Clan of Gale City in one night. This was a scar that could not be erased.
Chu Li said, "Monk Zhi Shan and the others came last night and admitted to it. Bring the disciples and leave Falling Autumn City. I'm going to take action!"
Shi Zonggu gritted his teeth. "The Reincarnation Temple is so cruel! I'll stay and help them kill a few more martial arts masters of the Qiu Dynasty! "
Chu Li sized him up and shook his head.
Shi Zonggu was furious. "Why? Do you think I'm useless?"
Chu Li said, "Your martial arts skills are only average. More importantly, your Light-body Technique isn't good enough. If you really go to the Qiu Dynasty's territory, how are you going to escape if you're surrounded?"
"Priest, you underestimate me!" Shi Zonggu was unconvinced. "In terms of Light-body Technique, I'm one of the best in the Church!"
"If that's the case, then let's take action immediately," Chu Li said. "To Duan Li City!"
"We're leaving now?"
"Yes."
"Alright!" Shi Zonggu nodded.
Chu Li stood up and walked out. Shi Zonggu followed closely behind him.
After they left Falling Autumn City, they used Light-body Technique to travel more than a hundred miles and arrived at another big city.
The architectural style of this big city was similar to that of Falling Autumn City. Falling Autumn City was originally a city of the Qiu Dynasty, so there was not much difference. Walking on the streets of Duan Li City felt no different from being in Falling Autumn City.
There were many people from the Li Dynasty in the city. Most of them were merchants who came to trade. Since the two countries had stopped fighting each other, people from both countries could enter each other's cities. As long as they did not cross the line, the guards in the city would not interfere.
Chu Li and Shi Zonggu went straight to the branch of the Reincarnation Temple — Jiren Temple.
Jiren Temple was located in the east of Duan Li City. It covered an area of a hundred acres and was not considered too big. However, the temple was full of incense and was bustling with pilgrims. As a branch of the Reincarnation Temple, Jiren Temple had a high prestige.
They worshipped Mahamayuri and had many believers.
Chu Li and Shi Zonggu were obviously from the Li Dynasty based on their attire, so they stood out among the crowd. However, the two of them entered the temple calmly and followed the worshippers inside until they reached the second courtyard and arrived at the main hall.
Shi Zonggu turned to look at Chu Li.
His original plan was to sneak in and kill them one by one without anyone knowing. He wanted to weaken the strength of the temple as much as possible. By the time they found out, most of the people would be dead, which would be the best.
He did not expect that Zhao Dahe would insist on coming in openly and openly. He wanted to fight his way to the door. This was indeed in line with the style of a young man who was intoxicated with success. Being unbridled and ostentatious would make things even more difficult. He might even stumble.
He did not think much of it but did not try to persuade him. He knew that it would be useless. Zhao Dahe would not listen to his advice and would do whatever he wanted.
Chu Li scoffed. "Disciples of the Reincarnation Temple, come out. Zhao Dahe of the Holy Church of Light is here!"
His voice was like a bronze bell that resounded through the entire Jiren Temple.
The surrounding people looked at him in surprise. They all looked at him as if he was a lunatic.
