"Elder Murong, the young master is here!" The young man in a blue shirt stood outside the basilica and announced.
A young man in a blue shirt stood beside the basilica. He looked ordinary but he was handsome.
"Young master, please come in!" Murong Chun's voice was heard.
The young man who brought Chu Li and the others here reported to him and turned to the other side of the basilica. He stood straight and looked straight ahead.
Chu Li waved at Zhou Hange and Chu Dazhi and stepped into the basilica alone.
The basilica was brightly lit and the floor was paved with white jade-like stones. It felt warm when one stepped on it as if it was really made of white jade.
Four elders stood in the middle of the basilica.
Other than Murong Chun and Xia Liyan, there were two other elders with white hair and a youthful complexion. The four of them looked gloomy. The originally brightly lit basilica was now depressing and the air seemed to have thickened.
"Young master, come over and take a look." Murong Chun waved.
Chu Li fist saluted and did not say anything. He walked over lazily.
They were surrounding a corpse. It looked like it was in a deep sleep as its face was still rosy. However, Chu Li knew that this person was dead and had been dead for a long time. Even he could not save him.
"This is Gu Tie, an outstanding disciple of the sect. He was killed when he left the mountain. Two of our Grandmasters were injured. These people are getting more and more out of hand! "Murong Chun said in a low voice.
Chu Li glanced at Gu Tie lazily. "He died peacefully. He was killed with one punch. It was the Divine Light Fist."
"The Divine Light Fist?!" Everyone was stunned.
Chu Li looked at them and said, "You don't know about the Divine Light Fist?"
"Which sect is the Divine Light Fist?" Murong Chun asked.
Chu Li looked at them in confusion.
Logically speaking, the Holy Church of Light's position in the Li Dynasty was higher than the Tempest Temple. How could a first-rate faction like the Crouching Bull Mountain not know about the Holy Church of Light?
"It's the martial arts of the Holy Church of Light. Elder Murong doesn't know about it?" Chu Li said.
"The Holy Church of Light of the Li Dynasty?!" Murong Chun's expression changed.
Chu Li looked at him and knew that Murong Chun knew about the Holy Church of Light and how powerful it was.
"The Holy Church of Light?!" Xia Liyan and the other two's expressions changed too.
Chu Li said, "You know about the Holy Church of Light, but you didn't recognize the Divine Light Fist?"
"We've only heard of them, but we've never seen any disciples of the Holy Church of Light." Murong Chun shook his head. "All we know is that they're extremely powerful and they're not afraid of death."
Chu Li nodded. "This is obviously the Divine Light Fist. The person who threw the punch must be a Grandmaster."
"Holy Church of Light!" Murong Chun's expression darkened even more.
If it were any other sect, they would be worried, but they did not lose hope. As long as the Mountain Chieftain came out of seclusion, he would definitely be able to resist these sneaky fellows. When the time came, they would eradicate them in one fell swoop and vent their anger.
However, when they heard that it was the Holy Church of Light, they knew that something was wrong and their hearts sank.
"Actually, there is no need for everyone to be so worried." Xia Liyan said, "The Holy Church of Light is indeed powerful, but they're still in the Li Dynasty after all. It's impossible for them to move all their people to the Ji Dynasty."
"Sigh … Sending a few masters is already giving me a headache." Murong Chun smiled bitterly.
Chu Li was deep in thought.
He was also thinking about what the Holy Church of Light was trying to do.
It was understandable that they were acting sneakily. Once their identities were exposed, the four major sects would definitely attack. No matter how powerful they were, they would not be able to fight against the four major sects' encirclement. It was also impossible for them to move all the masters from the Holy Church of Light here.
However, why did they want to go against Crouching Bull Mountain?
To destroy Crouching Bull Mountain? Or did they want to occupy Crouching Bull Mountain and obtain the Surpassing State, then use the Concentration Talisman and formations to cultivate an endless stream of Grandmasters?
He needed the Surpassing State, but the Holy Church of Light did not lack it. They must have different goals.
Or, was there something on Crouching Bull Mountain that they wanted to seize? Just like back then in Fairy's Capital?
His mind raced and he frowned.
However, it was strange that they used the Divine Light Fist to kill people. Were they so sure that Crouching Bull Mountain would not recognize this fist technique? Were they not afraid of exposing their identities?
Xia Liyan said, "Young Lord, what do you think?"
Chu Li looked up and glanced at the four of them. "What about you guys?"
"In my opinion, we should ask the high monks from the Tempest Temple to come here," Murong Chun said. "Once the Tempest Temple knows that it's the Holy Church of Light, they will definitely help."
Chu Li nodded.
Xia Liyan said, "But the Tempest Temple can only help for a while. They can't help forever, right?"
"Let's take care of the present first," Murong Chun said. "We'll talk about it after we get through this. We can't just watch our disciples die!"
"Sigh …" Xia Liyan sighed and nodded helplessly.
Chu Li said, "We don't have to go to the Tempest Temple. I'll do it!"
"Young Lord!" Murong Chun quickly waved his hand. "I know that Young Lord's swordsmanship is superb, but the Holy Church of Light is not an ordinary person. That woman can defeat the hill master. If anything happens to Young Lord, how are we going to explain it to the hill master?"
In his opinion, the Young Lord's swordsmanship was superb, but it might not be stronger than the hill master. The hill master was unpredictable and had a cultivation level like the sea, but he was still no match for that woman. The Young Lord might not be able to defeat her.
The Young Lord had such a cultivation level at such a young age. It could be said that he was the hope of Crouching Bull Mountain. The glory of Crouching Bull Mountain was on him.
If he died here, it would be the biggest loss for Crouching Bull Mountain. They would rather lose more disciples than let the Young Lord take this risk.
Xia Liyan said, "Young Lord, be careful!"
Chu Li glanced at them lazily and said, "Do you think that my martial arts is not good enough and I can't defeat them?"
"This …" Murong Chun sighed. "It's the Holy Church of Light after all!"
Chu Li said, "Alright, leave this to me. I'll do it myself."
"Young Lord!" Murong Chun and Xia Liyan were anxious.
Chu Li waved his hand. "You can't stop me!"
"Young Lord, how do you plan to do it?" Murong Chun asked.
"It's very easy," Chu Li said. "I'll go down the mountain again and use me as bait. I'd like to see how many martial arts masters the Holy Church of Light has sent and if it's enough for me to kill!"
He did not want to expose that he was proficient in tracking skills. It was rare to have such a divine power in the world, and it was also rare to have someone who was proficient in tracking skills. It would be too easy for people to connect the dots and suspect his identity.
"This …" Murong Chun was in a difficult position. He sighed. "They might not fall for it."
Chu Li said lazily, "They're like a cat playing with a mouse. They won't care if the mouse is tricked or not. They'll kill it when they see it!"
"But Young Lord, you …" Xia Liyan finally sighed. "Alright then, Elder Murong and I will protect you personally."
Chu Li smiled. "Sure."
He knew that if he did not let the two of them go, they would argue for a long time. He did not want to trouble them, so he simply agreed.
"We'll go down the mountain tonight!" Chu Li said.
"… Alright." The two of them nodded and looked at each other.
The two elders said, "Count us in as well."
Chu Li said, "Don't let them raid our lair. Elder Murong and Elder Xia will be enough."
The founders of the sect were all extremely intelligent people. The elders and Grandmasters of Crouching Bull Mountain lived halfway up the mountain to protect the entrance of the valley where the disciples of Crouching Bull Mountain were.
If anyone wanted to invade Crouching Bull Mountain, they would have to go through this first.
