"Is Monk Zhi Shan really that powerful?" Li Ruolan asked.
The patrol's martial art skills were not very strong, but they still dared to roam the world. This was because all patrols knew a mystical skill. By activating the Secret Technique of Great Light and then activating this mystical skill, they would be able to escape extremely fast. Almost no one could catch up to them.
However, this technique also had its flaws. Sometimes, one would not be able to use it in time and would be heavily injured, just like the last time when Senior Brother Ji was in the Ji Dynasty. Moreover, using this technique would greatly damage one's vitality, and it would take a year and a half to recover.
If he had known about Monk Zhi Shan's prowess in advance, he would have activated this technique the moment he encountered him. Monk Zhi Shan would not have been able to do anything to him.
Chu Li sighed. "He can dodge my flying blade."
Li Ruolan frowned.
Junior Brother Zhao's cultivation level was not considered top-notch, and he had yet to recover, so he was relying on the Light Blade to run amok. Once the Light Blade was restrained, it was equivalent to taking away his sharpest weapon. He was like a toothless tiger.
Chu Li replied, "There's no such thing as an invincible martial art. The same goes for the Light Blade."
"Then you really have to be careful," Li Ruolan reminded him seriously.
Chu Li laughed. "I don't only have the Light Blade."
Li Ruolan shook her head.
Now that his cultivation level was weak, he was no match for himself without the Light Blade. He was truly lucky to be able to escape from Monk Zhi Shan!
Thinking of this, she felt a little scared. "Hurry up and restore your cultivation!"
Chu Li nodded.
The two of them passed through the North City Gate side by side, followed the bustling central street, and arrived at the Mayor's Mansion in the center of the city.
Li Ruolan flashed her waist tag and was quickly brought to the main hall by the External Chief.
Ji Xin and Zhou Jinchun were talking in the main hall.
"Who's outside? Come in." A gentle voice came from inside.
Chu Li had already pictured the situation in the main hall in his mind.
A middle-aged man with grizzled hair was sitting on an armchair in the north. He wasn't tall, but his body was tall and sturdy. His appearance couldn't be considered handsome, but he was rough and charming. He was currently laughing loudly.
Ji Xin and Zhou Jinchun were sitting in the armchairs next to him and were smiling along with him.
Li Ruolan and Chu Li entered the main hall.
When Ji Xin and Zhou Jinchun saw them, they stood up in surprise. "Junior Brother Zhao, you're back!"
Chu Li gave a fist salute.
Li Ruolan curtsied. "Greetings, Altar Leader Mo."
"Hehe, Ruolan, you've worked hard this time. We're waiting for your spirit pills." The middle-aged man smiled and looked at Chu Li. "Is this Zhao Dahe?"
Li Ruolan turned to look at Chu Li and gave him a look. "This is Altar Leader Mo Qianjun, Mo Cuicui's father."
Chu Li calmly gave a fist salute. "Greetings, Altar Leader Mo!"
"Haha, Zhao Dahe, we can be considered enemies on a narrow road!" Mo Qianjun laughed heartily and said: "You killed Qingqing, I found someone to plot against you, we can be considered even, no discord, no concord!"
Chu Li gave a fist salute, his face expressionless.
Mo Qianjun's cultivation was so profound that it was even higher than Fang Qingyang's.
He would have had his doubts before he joined the sect, but now he understood that becoming a Law Emperor did require luck. Being strong in martial arts was the basic requirement, but one also had to contribute enough.
Mo Qianjun's level of cultivation was sufficient, but he did not have enough meritorious services. He could not become a Guardian King, even if his martial arts were stronger than Fang Qingyang's.
The Holy Church of Light was particular about pragmatism. The stronger one's martial arts was, the greater one's contribution would be. If one had strong martial arts but did not go out to work, he would only be an ordinary disciple.
Those who could become an Altar Leader were all people who were skilled in worldly affairs and had brilliant methods. Logically speaking, once one had enough cultivation, becoming a Law Emperor would be a matter of time. Mo Qianjun was unlucky and was stuck.
He must have come to Falling Autumn City to contribute and become a Law Emperor.
Chu Li knew what he was thinking and became even more vigilant. Mo Qianjun had to be careful of a person who could restrain his hatred and smile.
Zhou Jinchun said, "Altar Leader Mo, if it wasn't for Junior Brother Zhao's help, we wouldn't have made it here. Royal Blade Palace and Hai Cang Mountain sent masters to stop us, and even the Reincarnation Temple sent masters. They really think highly of us!"
Mo Qianjun frowned. "The Reincarnation Temple?"
"Yes." Zhou Jinchun shook his head. "This red-robed monk isn't someone to be trifled with. That little flying saucer spun at a terrifying speed and I almost lost my head. Luckily, Junior Brother Zhao came to our rescue and held him back from behind. That's how we managed to make it here!"
"Which monk?" Mo Qianjun looked at Chu Li.
Li Ruolan answered, "Zhi Shan."
Mo Qianjun's expression darkened. "Zhi! Shan! "
His expression quickly stiffened. It was as if he was made of iron and stone as his face turned green.
"Altar Leader Mo knows this Monk Zhi Shan?" Zhou Jinchun asked. "Have you fought him before?"
"Heh, Zhi Shan!" Mo Qianjun shook his head.
Li Ruolan gave Zhou Jinchun a look, signaling him not to ask any more questions.
Zhou Jinchun quickly said, "Altar Leader Mo, the spirit pills have been handed over. We should go back and report. Altar Leader Mo, do you have any instructions for us?"
"Since you're here, don't be in a hurry to go back." Mo Qianjun's expression quickly returned to normal and he smiled again. "It's not too late to rest for two days before leaving!"
"The Holy Church is short on manpower. I'm afraid there will be more missions," Zhou Jinchun said.
Mo Qianjun said, "Two days won't make a difference. I'll treat all of you well. You've been a great help to us!"
Li Ruolan asked, "Altar Leader Mo, how's the situation in Falling Autumn City?"
"It's fine." Mo Qianjun smiled. "Junior Sister Lu and I are here. The other three sects have sent a few martial arts masters."
"They didn't undermine us, did they?" Li Ruolan frowned.
Mo Qianjun laughed. "Look at the situation now. How dare they!"
"That's good." Li Ruolan nodded. "Why don't I see Senior Sister Lu?"
"She's injured." Mo Qianjun shook his head and smiled. "Go and see her. She's in the backyard."
He raised his voice. "Guards!"
A young lady in green entered. "Altar Leader."
"Bring them to see Junior Sister Lu."
"Yes."
The young lady in green led the four away.
Mo Qianjun stared at Chu Li's back thoughtfully.
Chu Li sensed his gaze and restrained his killing intent. If he was not sensitive, he would not have sensed it.
He turned to look at Mo Qianjun.
Mo Qianjun smiled and nodded.
With a cold expression, Chu Li turned around and followed the others.
Mo Qianjun's smile did not disappear even after Chu Li disappeared.
As they walked on a pebbled path surrounded by lush flowers, Zhou Jinchun said excitedly, "I can finally see Junior Sister Lu!"
Ji Xin scoffed. "Senior Brother Zhou, do you really like Junior Sister Lu?"
"Of course!" Zhou Jinchun said, "There are many people in our sect who don't like Junior Sister Lu!"
Ji Xin shook his head. He could not understand.
Although Junior Sister Lu was as beautiful as Junior Sister Li, she was hot-tempered and overbearing. It was the complete opposite of her cute and obedient appearance. She did not have the gentleness of a woman at all. How could she be liked?
The four of them followed the young lady in green through two courtyards and arrived at a small, exquisite courtyard.
There were a few green bamboos at the foot of the west wall. There was a flowerbed in the middle of the courtyard and a low couch was placed in the middle of the flowerbed.
A cute and obedient young lady with exquisite facial features was sitting on the couch. Her face was pale as she stared blankly at the blooming flowers.
"Junior Sister Lu, where's your arm?" Zhou Jinchun shouted as he stepped into the courtyard.
