Gaining Trust (Part 2)
Sun Mingyue suddenly took off her veil, revealing her beautiful face. Her face was sparkling and translucent like white jade, exuding a warm glow. She looked at Baili Na with a faint smile in her eyes, "What are you trying to do?"
"Can Elder Fang die?" Baili Na asked.
()
"Suffer a little but not to the extent of death," Sun Mingyue shook her head lightly.
Baili Na sighed, "If she can't be trusted this time, then I'll have to do something ruthless. This woman's intuition is too sharp."
"She saw through your identity? Would you be so careless and reveal a flaw?" Sun Mingyue smiled faintly.
Baili Na shook his head, "Logically, there should be no flaw but her intuition is very strong. She can't see through it but she can feel that something is wrong. This time, I've tried my best. If I still can't hide it, then I'll have to take the last step."
Sun Mingyue chuckled and said, "This young lady is really a powerful person."
Chu Li said, "She's already more than three hundred years old."
Of course, this Baili Na was Chu Li. When Song Zhifan and Elder Fang fell into the formation, Chu Li instantly appeared and sent Baili Na back. Then, he came back himself. It only took a moment for him to come and go. His timing was perfect and flawless. This was all thanks to the observation of the Omniscient Mirror.
Sun Mingyue raised her eyebrows, "Eternal youth?"
Chu Li nodded slowly.
Sun Mingyue said, "Blessed by nature."
Eternal youth could only keep one's appearance but not one's temperament. As time passed and people experienced many things, their mentality would change. This reflected on the outside and formed a unique temperament.
Chu Li nodded, "Maybe it's because the floating mountain is isolated from the world so there's nothing to distract him. He's been cultivating in isolation. Only five Enlightened Masters joined forces this time?"
"Yes, only five of them will take action." Sun Mingyue sighed, "Everyone's decision is to cripple him and imprison him so he can't do anything. As for killing him, they don't have the guts."
Chu Li said, "It'll be difficult."
Sun Mingyue shook her head, "Tang Xu is fine but Chen Zhenji and Monk Lun Ming are doing it half-heartedly. They might not succeed."
"This Song Zhifan has endless tricks up his sleeves. I don't know how many mystical martial arts and secret skills he has. I sneaked into his side to figure it out. Know yourself and know your enemy." Chu Li sighed. "It seems like I haven't figured it out yet."
"Then are you going to continue to disguise as Bai Li Na?" Sun Mingyue asked.
The two of them had a tacit understanding.
Not to mention that he was disguised as Baili Na, even if he was disguised as a woman, as long as the two of them were close to each other, they would naturally sense each other and know each other's identity and position. This was the wonderful effect of the Supreme Vajra Supreme Scripture.
Sun Mingyue knew what he was going to do with just a glance from Chu Li. Their cooperation was seamless and they had a tacit understanding.
Chu Li nodded. "I have other ideas now. I'll continue with my disguise."
"Tell me about it," Sun Mingyue said.
The two of them sat on a boulder at the peak of the mountain and chatted.
A gentle breeze blew by and lifted her white veil. Her beautiful hair fluttered in the wind. She was truly otherworldly. It gave Chu Li the feeling that she was standing on top of the clouds. She was very close to him, but in reality, she was very far away. She was beyond his reach.
Chu Li said, "It's just an idea. Let's see if we can incite internal strife in the floating mountain. The Longevity Church is not peaceful now. Many people are against leaving the mountain. They don't want to dominate the martial arts world. They want to live a peaceful life."
"If that's the case, Song Zhifan's prestige is not enough?" Sun Mingyue asked.
Chu Li slowly nodded. "Yes, he's still young and his cultivation level is not strong enough. He can't be compared to Song Wuji back then, so he can't completely convince the people. After all, those old people have lived for too long."
Sun Mingyue asked, "Can we really incite internal strife?"
Chu Li said, "As long as Song Zhifan's prestige is continuously attacked, even if he becomes an Enlightened Master, he won't be able to subdue the floating mountain. Elder Fang is his confidant. If we can sway her, we'll have a sixty percent chance of success."
"Elder Fang doesn't believe in you," Sun Mingyue frowned. "In my opinion, it's better to get rid of her."
Chu Li said, "It's easy for Elder Fang to die, but she's the best weapon. We can't just give up on her."
"You're looking for trouble." Sun Mingyue smiled. "Don't fall into her hands in the end. After all, she's lived for more than three hundred years. Her wisdom and resourcefulness are definitely not inferior to yours or mine."
Chu Li nodded. "I'll be careful. You should be careful too. This time, it'll be very difficult to succeed. Don't get yourself into trouble. Also, be careful that Tang Xu and Leng Wufeng will take the opportunity to deal with you."
Sun Mingyue nodded. "I'll leave now."
Chu Li smiled. "Alright then, let's go our separate ways."
Sun Mingyue hung up her white veil. Her eyes flickered as she suddenly punched him in the chest.
"Pfft!" Chu Li flew up and crashed into two pine trees behind him. He hung on one of them motionlessly as if he had fainted. The Divine Light Flame danced in his body as if it was going to burn him to ashes.
Sun Mingyue did not appear again. Chu Li remained unconscious.
From evening to morning, he remained unconscious for the entire night.
Footsteps were heard as Elder Fang fluttered over. When she saw Chu Li hanging on the branch, she leaped up to catch him.
She was full of vigor and did not seem to be injured. A gush of inner energy seeped into Chu Li's body and circulated rapidly to check on his injuries and physical condition. The Ageless Longevity Technique's inner energy was being burned by a strange force. It was getting weaker and weaker until only a trace of it was left.
Elder Fang estimated that if she had arrived a little later, his martial arts would have been crippled again. His blood essence would have been almost completely burned, and he would have been dead.
She looked at Chu Li with a complicated expression.
She was very familiar with this strange inner energy. It was the palm energy of Sun Mingyue from the Holy Church of Light. It seemed like she had merely slapped him away and left without caring about his life or death.
Thinking about Sun Mingyue's situation, Elder Fang could understand. In Sun Mingyue's eyes, Bai Li Na's life or death was insignificant. She treated Bai Li Na as if he was nothing. If he had not rushed forward, she would not have bothered to attack. This was also the reason why he was able to survive.
When she thought about this, she pursed her lips and shook her head. Bai Li Na was really lucky. If it was another Enlightened Master, he would have died no matter how lucky he was. However, he encountered the cold and aloof Sun Mingyue and luckily survived.
She channeled to help Chu Li resist the Divine Light Flame. After carrying him for an hour, they arrived at a ravine where they met Song Zhifan who looked as haggard as an old man.
Song Zhifan was sitting cross-legged on a rock by the spring to channel. When he heard footsteps, he opened his eyes and saw Chu Li in his hands. "He's not dead?"
"He barely survived." Elder Fang pursed her lips and smiled. "Luckily, I met Sun Mingyue."
"Hmph!" Song Zhifan scoffed angrily. "His martial arts was crippled again?"
"His martial arts was not crippled, but he was heavily injured," Elder Fang said. Elder Fang said, "He performed the Sacrificial Divine Power again. His vitality is greatly damaged. He needs to recuperate for a while."
She put Chu Li down in front of Song Zhifan.
Song Zhifan reached out and patted Chu Li's back.
"Pfft!" Chu Li spat out a mouthful of black blood and slowly opened his eyes.
Song Zhifan scoffed. "Sun Mingyue!"
He could feel that Sun Mingyue's palm energy was extremely pure. It was even better than the other Enlightened Masters. This was caused by the Supreme Titanium Supreme Scripture.
"Although Bai Li Na was unlucky, he was loyal. After all, the Longevity Church was the only thing he could hold on to," Song Zhifan said.
