Chu Li stared at her back with a gloomy face.
She was also a madwoman who did not care about the safety of the Holy Church of Light's disciples and allowed them to die. It looked like she harbored hatred towards the Holy Church of Light.
However, he knew that this might not be true.
The disciples of the Holy Church of Light could not be speculated with common sense because they viewed death as life. Their way of thinking was completely different from ordinary people, so he had to figure out their way of thinking.
He stared thoughtfully in the direction where she had disappeared, trying to guess what she was thinking.
Xia Liyan slowly put down his palms, the white gas slowly returned to his hair roots, and his face became ruddy again.
Murong Chun opened his eyes. The white gas on top of his head suddenly shrank and disappeared into Baihui. His face was still pale.
"Elder Murong, how is it?" Chu Li asked.
"What a powerful Divine Light Fist." Murong Chun shook his head and smiled bitterly. "I've suppressed it for now. I'll slowly get rid of it when I get back."
"Let me take a look." Chu Li took a step forward and reached out his palm to feel his pulse.
Murong Chun instinctively wanted to dodge, but Chu Li simply grabbed him. There was no way he could avoid it.
A stream of inner breath entered his body and rushed into the ball of flames. The flames immediately began to weaken bit by bit, like a lamp that ran out of oil. The flames quickly disappeared and turned into a ball of strange inner strength.
This ball of strange inner force instantly drilled out of his body.
Murong Chun felt his body relax, and the feeling of weakness disappeared in an instant.
Chu Li loosened his grip. "What do you think?"
Murong Chun looked at him in admiration. "Young Lord, you're really impressive!"
The force of the Divine Light Fist that he and Xia Liyan were helpless against was easily removed by the Young Lord. The two of them seemed to be too weak. It was not that he and Xia Liyan were weak, it was the Young Lord who was too strong!
Chu Li said, "Try to avoid the Divine Light Fist if you can. It's very difficult to deal with!"
"What kind of martial arts did Young Master use?"
"Cloud Slashing Palm," Chu Li said. "It happens to be able to restrain the Divine Light Fist."
"The Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual is indeed extraordinary!" Murong Chun sighed.
It was a pity that he didn't have the chance to practice it. No matter how generous the Young Master was, he wouldn't take it out for everyone to see.
Chu Li glanced at him and smiled. "Let's go!"
The power of the Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual was strong, but it was not as strong in the hands of others.
The key to the Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual was one's mental strength. Only with a strong mental strength would one be able to display its might. When one's inner energy entered another person's body and devoured it, it was easy to enter but difficult to withdraw it. Without a strong mental strength, one would not be able to withdraw it.
The three of them turned around and walked back.
"Young Lord, what is their motive?" Murong Chun asked with a frown.
Xia Liyan was also full of doubts. He really could not figure out what Liu Yunxin's goal was.
Chu Li said, "I'll just ask the hill master."
"If the hill master could tell us, he would have told us a long time ago!" Murong Chun sighed.
"Why can't the Mountain Chieftain tell me?" Xia Liyan frowned and said, "Could it be that there really is an affair?"
Murong Chun shook his head. "I'm afraid it's not personal. What exactly does the Holy Church of Light want from us?"
He found it strange. The Holy Church of Light was far from what Crouching Bull Mountain could compare to. Their martial arts were much stronger than Crouching Bull Mountain's, and their surpassing state was also far better than Crouching Bull Mountain's. Other than that, what else could they ask for? Were they trying to make Crouching Bull Mountain yield and listen to them?!
Thinking of this, his heart skipped a beat.
The Holy Church of Light was a sect of the Li Dynasty. If they really listened to the Holy Church of Light, they would become traitors of the Ji Dynasty. They would definitely be destroyed. However, if they did not yield to the Holy Church of Light, they would probably end up the same.
His expression was uncertain. He frowned and did not say a word.
The Holy Church of Light wanted to threaten them to listen to them. If the young lord did not appear, Crouching Bull Mountain would probably have no other choice. They would either be destroyed immediately or in the future.
Xia Liyan quickly said, "What did you think of? Tell me! "
He sighed and said, "Could it be that they want us to yield?"
"That's wishful thinking!" Xia Liyan chuckled. "Even the Tempest Temple can't make us yield. Can the Holy Church of Light even dream about it? If they had a shred of rationality, they wouldn't do it! "
Murong Chun scoffed. "Do you think they can think of it with common sense?"
Chu Li was deep in thought.
Murong Chun's theory was slightly plausible. The Holy Church of Light had obtained the second half of the Scripture of Great Light. Their ambition would probably grow as well.
Once their ambition grew, the Li Dynasty might not be able to contain them and would have to expand outwards.
"But this time, I had a great time killing!" Xia Liyan chuckled. "This is the first time I've had such a good time!"
Murong Chun smiled.
After killing six of their masters, the Holy Church of Light should have been heavily injured. They should also understand that Crouching Bull Mountain was not a pushover. It was not something they could bully just because they wanted to!
"It's all thanks to you, young lord!" Xia Liyan praised.
Chu Li said, "They won't give up. The next time they go down the mountain, let me know. I'll follow them!"
"… Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, young lord!" Murong Chun smiled.
Chu Li lightly said, "I can't just eat for free. I have to do something. As for the rest, don't bother me. I have to focus on my cultivation."
"Of course, of course." Murong Chun nodded.

Early in the morning, Chu Li sat in Tianshu Courtyard and had breakfast with Siao Shi.
"What have you been busy with recently?" Siao Shi's moon-white gown was spotless and flawless. She picked up a snack and asked casually, "I haven't seen you."
"Something happened." Chu Li took a sip of wine.
Siao Shi's bright eyes glanced over.
Chu Li felt as if autumn water was splashing on his face. "Personal matters."
"Is there anything you can't say?" Siao Shi scoffed.
Chu Li laughed and nodded. "Alright, I'll tell you."
He then told Siao Shi about what happened in Crouching Bull Mountain.
Siao Shi listened with great interest. "No wonder the Holy Church of Light hasn't gotten even with you. They're doing something else."
"They're quite ambitious." Chu Li shook his head and sighed. "I don't know what they're planning. Are they planning to invade the Great Ji Dynasty and unify the martial arts world?"
Siao Shi nodded. "That might not be impossible."
"The four major sects won't let them get what they want."
"What if they're not afraid of the four major sects?"
"How is that possible?"
"What if they've already unified the martial arts world of the Li Dynasty?"
"Hmm …" Chu Li pondered.
"Elder Qin, come here for a moment." Chu Li said.
His voice was not loud as if he was talking to himself.
Qin Jin and the other three were at the training field of the Imperial Residence of King An. Dong Qifei was there too. Yang Zongwen and the other five were at the Secret Guardians Hall reading the dossiers.
Qin Jin heard Chu Li's voice and turned to look. Their expressions were normal. Clearly, they did not hear him.
He glided to the outside of Tianshu Courtyard.
Chu Li raised his voice. "Elder Qin, please come in."
Qin Jin slowly walked into Tianshu Courtyard and closed fist saluted. "Centurion."
Chu Li said, "I want to investigate the situation of the Li Dynasty's martial arts world. What's the Holy Church of Light doing? Are there any big movements? Are they secretly controlling the Li Dynasty's martial arts world? … How long will it take to find out?"
Qin Jin thought for a while. "The Secret Guardians Hall's information network and our own. Seven days should be enough."
Chu Li nodded. "Alright, do it as soon as possible. There's no need to be too detailed. Don't send anyone to the Holy Church of Light."
"Yes." Qin Jin closed fist saluted.
He turned and left. He called Feng Jing and the others to return to the Secret Guardians Hall.
The Mei Er Courtyard of the Secret Guardians Hall immediately moved. The nine of them each had their own information network. Yang Zongwen and the others gathered information from the Secret Guardians Hall.
After Chu Li gave the order, he continued to have breakfast with Siao Shi. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat and his expression changed.
