Song Zhifan said, "Your mission is to stay outside and gather information. Don't miss out on any news about Chu Li. If you feel that you need to disturb me while I'm in isolation, send a message back!"
Chu Li nodded and smiled, "Nothing is more important than your cultivation of the divine technique!"
Song Zhifan scoffed, "What if he becomes an Enlightened Master?"
Chu Li smiled, "It can't be?"
"It's very possible. He also knows how powerful I am. Once he hears that I'm in isolation, he might make this risky move. If he becomes an Enlightened Master, call me immediately! "Song Zhifan said.
"Yes," Chu Li nodded.
Elder Fang's charming gaze fell on Lu Jun, "Young Lu, you're still inexperienced. Listen to Baili Na."
"Alright." Lu Jun was not convinced. He was an old man but when he thought about Baili Na's experience and foresight, he was indeed not as good as him. Moreover, he was indebted to Baili Na for saving his life. He said slowly, "I will cooperate with Baili Na to gather information."
Chu Li smiled, "From what I see, we should gather our own information and summarize it for Elder Fang. Brother Lu and I have different sources of information so we can cross-reference each other to reduce any errors."
"That's great." Elder Fang nodded in satisfaction.
Song Zhifan waved his hand, "Listen to Elder Fang's instructions for the rest. If I'm out of isolation, I will definitely inform you."
Chu Li and Lu Jun closed fist saluted and were about to leave.
Elder Fang said, "I'll tell you directly. Young Lu, bring Baili Na to Startling Goose Mountain. You guys can stay there. Pay attention to hiding your tracks and don't get caught by Chu Li."
"Yes," the two closed fist saluted and left the basilica.
"Is there anything else you want to bring, Elder Baili?" Lu Jun asked.
Chu Li shook his head.
"Then let's go directly," Lu Jun said.
The two fluttered down the floating mountain and talked as they walked.
"Startling Goose Mountain is one of our strongholds outside. It's a very hidden place," Lu Jun said, "but we still have to be careful. It's only five hundred miles away from Chong Ming Town."
"Five hundred miles," Chu Li frowned, "that's a little close."
One hundred and fifty miles was a long distance to a normal person. They would need to sit in a carriage for a long time, and they would need at least a month to cover that distance. But to martial artists, it was nothing. If they used lightness skills, they would not need to spend too much time.
Lu Jun sighed. "It's too far away. How can we gather news about Chu Li?"
Chu Li nodded slowly. "I don't want to stay there. Let's split up and find a place where only the two of us know where to meet up. Then, we'll just send the news back to the floating mountain."
"You don't trust Jingyan Mountain?" Lu Jun frowned.
Chu Li said, "It's not that I don't trust them, but I'm afraid that if I get caught, they'll ask me about the place and implicate too many people."
"That's true." Lu Jun nodded.
After walking for a day, the two of them decided on a rendezvous point. They would meet every ten days, gather information, and then send it to the floating mountain. After that, the two of them went their separate ways.
Chu Li suddenly returned to his own courtyard in the High Duke's Public House. He sat by the stone table and pondered.
Li Meng was chanting under the Glory's Will Tree. She turned a deaf ear to his appearance. Xue Ling had already appeared. She only served him tea and did not disturb him.
Chu Li sighed and took a sip of tea.
Plans could not keep up with changes. Who would have thought that he would be sent out, messing up his plans and destroying the idea of stirring up internal strife in the floating mountain.
More importantly, Song Zhifan was very smart. After he destroyed Chu Li's fantasy, he knew that there was no other way to get the Heaven Killer Sword. So, he took the safe path and suppressed the opposing voices. It was not possible to stir up internal strife, so he could only wait for an opportunity.
Looking at Song Zhifan's appearance, it was obvious that he was very confident that he could restrain the God Killer Sword. When that time came, it would be bad for Chu Li.
Chu Li felt a sense of urgency. He had to cultivate quickly and become an Enlightened Master as soon as possible to increase his strength. It was a pity that he did not find the Heaven Killer Scripture. If he could master the Heaven Killer Scripture, it would not be difficult to deal with Song Zhifan.
He used the Omniscient Mirror to look for information about the Heaven Killer Scripture when Song Zhifan was in trouble. Unfortunately, there was an invisible force in Song Zhifan's mind that blocked the information about the Heaven Killer Scripture.
He knew that it was not a good time to look for information or his life would be in danger. Moreover, he could not break through the barrier. He did not know if he could use the God Killer Sword to bypass the barrier and peek at the Heaven Killer Scripture.
He took another sip of tea and suppressed all kinds of distracting thoughts. The only thing he could do now was to cultivate the Tiger Taming Technique.
The next moment, he put down the teacup and suddenly disappeared. He appeared in the backyard of King An's Imperial Residence.
It was already a bright morning. Xiao Qi was reading in the backyard while Xiao Shi was practicing her swordsmanship. The backyard was bathed in the bright sunshine, calm and peaceful.
When she saw him, Xiao Qi put down her book and smiled. Xiao Shi glared at him and continued to practice her swordsmanship, ignoring him.
Chu Li greeted her and put his arm around Xiao Qi's waist to return to his courtyard.
Xiao Qi blushed and shook her head, but she did not reject him. The two quickly went to the bedroom and got on the bed. Chu Li pressed his body down and was about to enter the alley when he suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Qi was lying on her back with her eyes closed. Her hair was like dark clouds and her face was blushing. She was so beautiful that she opened her watery eyes and looked at Chu Li in confusion.
Chu Li smiled bitterly and shook his head. "It's bitter."
"Hmm …?" Xiao Qi was even more confused.
Chu Li sighed. "Looks like I'm going to spoil the fun today."
"What's wrong?" Xiao Qi stretched out her snow-white arm and placed it on his shoulder.
Chu Li turned over and said, "There's a ball of Vermillion Bird's vitality in my body that I can't get rid of."
There was always a Vermillion Bird's flame burning in his body. However, with the Indestructible Body of Diamond, it could not be extinguished. It seemed endless and could burn for a year, ten years, or even a hundred years.
Once he merged with Xiao Qi, this ball of flame would enter Xiao Qi's body.
Xiao Qi had cultivated the Regal Sword Scripture, but her body was not strong enough to withstand the Vermillion Bird's flame. If the two of them were to cooperate, it would be harming her, so he could only forcefully stop it.
After he explained the situation, Xiao Qi pursed her lips and smiled. "It's nothing, is this vitality okay?"
Chu Li shook his head. "It's not a big deal for now. It might be a blessing in disguise, but there's nothing I can do now. I can only endure it."
"It's good that it's a blessing in disguise." Xiao Qi smiled. "Oh right, the situation in Fairy's Capital has changed again."
Chu Li looked at her curiously.
Xiao Qi flicked her hair and revealed her beautiful and slender neck. "The Crown Prince is strong again."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows and nodded thoughtfully.
It seemed that not only the Enlightened Master's power had increased, but the Crown Prince's too.
Xiao Qi said, "The Secret Guardians Hall has appointed a new commander."
"Which one?" Chu Li asked.
"Meng Xiaoqi." Xiao Qi shook her head. "He seems to be someone who suddenly jumped out of a rock. I've never heard of him and he's not famous at all, but he suddenly became the commander of the Secret Guardians."
Chu Li frowned and pondered. "Is he the Emperor's man or the Crown Prince's man?"
