After a while, the thick fog in front of them suddenly surged violently.
Then, a person stood in front of them as if he had been standing there all along. It was only revealed after the thick fog dissipated. Chu Li recognized him at first glance. It was the bishop of the Church of the Divine Blood, Huang Tianhe.
"I'm Huang Tianhe!" Huang Tianhe said in a deep voice. He glanced at the two of them as if he was struck by lightning.
Chu Li and Lu Jun fist saluted.
Lu Jun opened his eyes wide and said in a domineering manner, "I'm Lu Jun from the Church of Longevity. I'm here to deliver a letter to you under the orders of the bishop."
As he spoke, he took out the letter and tossed it to Huang Tianhe.
The letter was rolled to Huang Tianhe by an invisible force. He tore open the envelope and opened the letter.
Huang Tianhe was already prepared for the arrival of the Church of Longevity's disciples when he heard their report earlier. Now that he read the letter again, he was still frowning. His eyes were bright like lightning.
Lu Jun stared at him.
Huang Tianhe had a treasure weapon that could hide his Omniscient Mirror. As a church leader, it was not surprising for him to have such a treasure. He did not have to look to know Huang Tianhe's reluctance.
After a while, Huang Tianhe looked up at Chu Li and said, "Where's the token?"
Chu Li smiled. "Bishop Huang, you already know the answer. Why would you need a token? The seal on the letter has already revealed our identity."
"I don't recognize this, I only recognize the token." Huang Tianhe shook his head. "The letter can be imitated but the token can't. I won't admit that you're from the Church of Longevity until I see the real token."
Chu Li looked at Lu Jun.
Lu Jun snorted and took out an iron ring from his bosom. He gently put it on his index finger and lightly said, "Is this a keepsake?"
"I want to see the bishop's token!" Huang Tianhe shook his head.
Lu Jun said, "So, you don't want to admit that you're the bishop's token?"
"Of course!" Huang Tianhe said, "I don't believe it based on the letter alone. If it's just an ordinary Church of Longevity's disciple pretending to be the bishop, I'll be a joke!"
"Alright, you're cautious!" Lu Jun kept the iron ring and took out a green jade ring. He tossed it to him.
Huang Tianhe reached out his hand and took the jasper ring. He placed it in front of his eyes and looked at it under the sunlight for a while before he slowly nodded. "It's indeed the Cult Leader's jade ring! Alright, please go up the mountain and tell me what you want to say! "
Lu Jun stretched out his hand and said, "Give it back!"
Huang Tianhe tossed it lightly.
Lu Jun quickly caught it.
Chu Li frowned and pondered. It seemed like Huang Tianhe had the intention to be independent and had no intention of joining the Longevity Church at all. It was obvious that he was not optimistic about the Longevity Church's reestablishment.
The two of them followed him into the thick fog. Using their Qing Gong, they finally arrived at a large hall at the top of a mountain.
There were no guards in the hall, and only Huang Tianhe sat on a praying mat.
He sat down and pointed.
Chu Li and Lu Jun sat on two cattail hassocks opposite them and looked around the basilica. It was indeed deserted.
"This is my residence. Outsiders are not allowed to enter." Huang Tianhe explained, "I don't know what's going on with the Changshen Denomination. We are on the same side, I can't help but be concerned."
"The Sect Master has come out and rebuilt the Changshen Sect." Lu Jun said, "Under the wise leadership of the Sect Master, the Longevity Church will reign supreme in the martial arts world again and no one will be able to defeat it!"
"How many followers do we have now?" Huang Tianhe curled his lips and asked, "Why haven't I heard of it before?"
"The Sect Master will fight Chu Li in a month's time. By then, he will amaze the world," Lu Jun said, "By then, there will be more people who want to join the Church."
"Anyone can join the Church?" Huang Tianhe frowned.
"Of course not!" Lu Jun said, "You should know the rules of the Church, Sect Master Huang. Joining the Church is very harsh. There are many tests and all kinds of meritorious deeds. However, our Church has so many Divine Arts and Studies. We will definitely attract many Grandmasters to join us!"
"The antique studies of the Church have not been lost?" Huang Tianhe's expression changed.
"Of course!" Lu Jun said proudly, "The martial arts of the Changshen Cult have been preserved perfectly. We have been cultivating hard all these years. Especially now that the cult master has mastered the divine technique, he can suppress all the experts and even kill deities. According to the will of the patriarch, it is the time for the Changshen Cult to rise again!"
"Jiaozhu's divine skill has reached the great success stage?" Huang Tianhe said, "He has successfully cultivated the Ageless Longevity Technique!"
"Yes!" Lu Jun nodded proudly and smiled. "Have you thought it through, cult master Huang? Do you want to return to the cult and inherit the position of hall master?"
"Let me think about it," Huang Tianhe said.
Lu Jun snorted, "You can naturally consider it, but time is limited. When the time comes, I'm afraid that even if you want to return to the sect, you might not have the chance!"
Huang Tianhe smiled and nodded. "Of course I understand."
"Humph, since that's the case, then we'll take our leave!" Lu Jun said with a snort.
"Since the two of you have come, stay for a few more days," Huang Tianhe said.
"There's no need!" Lu Jun said, "Cult Master Huang might not agree, but there are others who have. I still have to visit a few other clans. Farewell!"
"Have a safe journey." Huang Tianhe closed fist saluted.
He personally sent the two of them down the mountain, then closed fist saluted to bid farewell, turned around, and disappeared into the thick fog.
Lu Jun glared at the direction where he disappeared. "He really doesn't know what's good for him!"
Chu Li said, "Cult Master Huang is proud and arrogant. He's not willing to be under anyone, so it'll be very difficult for him to return to the Church."
"You mean he doesn't want to agree?" Lu Jun asked.
Chu Li shook his head. "He definitely won't agree. Everything was just half-hearted. He's just afraid that we'll go against the Church of the Divine Blood. The Church of the Divine Blood is not in a good situation now."
He could see that Huang Tianhe was moved. It seemed that Huang Tianhe hated him very much.
It was reasonable when he thought about it. Chu Li killed his disciple and defeated him, forcing him to seal the mountain. There was indeed a blood feud between them.
It could be seen that Huang Tianhe had improved a lot during this period, but it was still far from his own improvement. Huang Tianhe was far from being a match for him. If they fought again, he would lose even more miserably.
"What a cunning fellow!" Lu Jun scoffed. "I thought he was moved."
Chu Li said, "Logically speaking, he was utterly defeated by Chu Li. The Church of the Divine Blood has sealed the mountain, so he'll definitely think of ways to take revenge. When he sees the Church of the Longevity appear, he'll definitely pounce on us regardless and learn the Divine Arts and antique studies."
"That's right." Lu Jun nodded. "That's what the Church of the Divine Blood thinks too."
Chu Li sighed. "Between revenge and power, it seems that Huang Tianhe has chosen the latter. He'd rather not have his revenge than lose his position as the Church of the Divine Blood. He doesn't want to have someone watching over him."
"What an ungrateful fellow. Does he really think he can escape?" Lu Jun curled his lips and sneered. "The Church of the Divine Blood needs strength now. Once he gains a firm foothold and defeats Chu Li, he'll be the first target!"
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. "It can't be? He's one of us after all. "
"We can't forgive a traitor like him. Otherwise, everyone will think of getting lucky." Lu Jun scoffed. "Our Church has strict rules, and the punishment for traitors is the heaviest!"
Chu Li sighed. "Could it be that he knows about the rules and knows that he won't have a good ending even if he returns to the Church, so he refused? If he really agrees to return to the Church, will he still be the Church Leader? "
"It'll be difficult!" Lu Jun shook his head.
Chu Li nodded slowly. "I see. He's a smart person and he's greedy for power. Naturally, he won't agree. Do we have other branches?"
