Siao Shi saw his expression change and then disappeared. She knew something big had happened.
She frowned and stood up, pacing around the Tianshu Courtyard.
The thing that made him feel something was probably the sarira beads. There were only two or three people who had his sarira beads. Did something happen to the High Duke's Public House?
She was not in the mood to eat and waved Yang Xu away.
Chu Li appeared in a waterside pavilion on the Snow Crescent Lake. His face was solemn.
This was Suru's waterside pavilion.
Under the bright morning sun, the pavilion was bright and gentle, warm and elegant.
Li Hanyan's eyes were shut tight as she lay on the bed in a deep sleep. Suru sat by the bed watching over her.
Seeing Chu Li appear, Suru let out a long sigh of relief.
Chu Li nodded and greeted her. He looked at Li Hanyan and felt her pulse. He frowned, "Did she take the Spirit Blessing Pill?"
His Omniscient Mirror could see inside and out. Feeling someone's pulse was an instinctive habit to cover up his divine power. What he saw made him furious.
Her internal organs were severely injured and her vitality was in a mess. If it wasn't for the Spirit Blessing Pill, she would've died. There was also a ball of flame burning. Although it was suppressed in a corner, it was still burning her vitality.
Suru nodded, "She took two Spirit Blessing Pills."
"Why isn't there anyone else?" Chu Li turned to look.
Suru said, "I've come to take a look. Her injuries can only be nurtured slowly and healed by herself. No one else can help."
"How did she get injured?" Chu Li scoffed, "Divine Light Fist!"
He removed the Divine Light Fist's fist force from Li Hanyan's body.
Li Hanyan's Crescent Cryptic was extremely Yin and cold. It could restrain the Divine Light Fist but her cultivation level was too weak. It was like fire and water. Whoever was stronger would have the upper hand. Her internal organs were severely injured. A normal person would've died.
Spiritual energy surged from all directions and entered Li Hanyan's body, nourishing her internal organs. Li Hanyan's inner energy started to circulate the Minute Pulse Cleansing Technique under Chu Li's interference.
Suru said, "Sister Li couldn't stay in the valley and followed master down the mountain. They were ambushed and both of them were injured. Thanks to the Spirit Blessing Pill, they survived."
"Senior Shen was injured too?" Chu Li frowned.
He activated the Omniscient Mirror and saw Shen Yinghu lying on the bed. She was the only one in the pavilion.
"Yes, Master's injuries were even more serious. After he took the Spirit Blessing Pill, he still forced himself to bring Junior Sister Li out of the ambush and back to the pavilion."
"Hanyan is fine now. Let her rest well. I'll go visit Senior Shen," Chu Li said.
Through the Omniscient Mirror, he saw that Shen Yinghu's injuries had worsened and she was on the verge of death.
Su Ru said, "Master did not allow anyone to visit him. He said that he was in isolated cultivation."
Chu Li furrowed his brows and shook his head.
He disappeared in a flash and appeared in Shen Yinghu's waterside pavilion in the next moment.
Shen Yinghu was in a state of unconsciousness. Her breathing was weak and hurried, and her pale face was flushed red. She was exceptionally beautiful, but she had a high fever.
He reached out to touch Shen Yinghu's wrist. Her skin was scorching hot and her bones were cold.
Her five viscera and six bowels had already begun to deteriorate, her meridians were severely damaged, and her vitality could no longer enter her body. Like a lamp without oil, it was about to be extinguished. Especially with her meridians destroyed, even if she could keep her life, her martial arts would be crippled.
Chu Li scoffed. There was no one by her side. She was the one who chased him away. It was obvious that she had lost the will to live.
Spiritual energy surged into Shen Yinghu's body, nourishing her like rain after a long drought.
Chu Li took out a needle box and moved the needles like they were flying. In the blink of an eye, she was covered in her beautiful body.
Under the nourishment of spiritual energy, Shen Yinghu slowly woke up. Her eyes were blurry.
She murmured, "Tian Ming …"
Chu Li was stunned. He looked into her mind and knew that she had mistaken him for someone else.
"Tian Ming …" She raised her hand with difficulty.
Chu Li reached out and touched her cold hand. It was delicate and soft, but it was bone-chilling. It was as if her bones were made of ice, emitting a piercing chill.
"You …" Her eyes suddenly became clear. She smiled sadly and slowly let go of her hand.
Chu Li said, "Senior Shen."
Shen Yinghu sighed, "Why are you here?"
"Did you meet the disciples of the Holy Church of Light?" Chu Li said.
"You know?"
"Divine Light Fist," Chu Li said, "What happened?"
"Six disciples of the Holy Church of Light," Shen Yinghu laughed, "I almost didn't make it back."
"First time meeting them?" Chu Li asked.
Shen Yinghu nodded lightly, "I didn't think the Holy Church of Light would dare to come here."
This place was not close to the north of the Li Dynasty. It was the south of the Ji Dynasty. It was far away from the Li Dynasty. There were almost no disciples of the Holy Church of Light here.
Chu Li said, "They are all Grandmasters?"
"Yes," Shen Yinghu sighed, "Six Grandmasters."
Chu Li smiled, "Senior, you were able to escape with your life. You are quite capable."
Shen Yinghu smiled faintly, "If it wasn't for Hanyan, I would have perished together with them!"
Among the six Grandmasters, four were weaker than her and two were on par with her. If she did not want to save Li Hanyan, she would not have been able to trigger such potential and escape.
Chu Li sneered, "How dare they!"
Shen Yinghu said, "They must have something to rely on. Six Grandmasters are enough to destroy a second-rate faction!"
"This time, they won't be able to return!" Chu Li gritted his teeth.
Thinking of Li Hanyan's injuries and Shen Yinghu's tragic state, his heart was filled with murderous intent.
"The Pavilion Master went to take revenge but I stopped him." Shen Yinghu shook her head lightly, "I'm afraid that they lured the tiger away from the mountain to deal with the disciples in the valley. They are probably far away now and can't be caught up!"
Chu Li nodded, "Leave it to me. Xiao Qi doesn't know, right?"
Shen Yinghu smiled, "What do you think?"
Chu Li smiled embarrassedly.
He saw Xiao Qi through the Omniscient Mirror. She was sitting cross-legged by the lake in the arcane realm like a jade statue. Her beautiful face was calm.
A long sword was placed on her knees. She was motionless as if she had become one with the clear lake water.
Seeing that Shen Yinghu was exhausted, Chu Li said, "Senior, rest. When you wake up, your injuries will be mostly healed."
"What kind of medical skill is this?" Shen Yinghu asked.
Her meridians were being nourished by a warm current and were slowly recovering. Her martial arts was saved.
"Nine Transformation Meridian Reforming Technique." Chu Li said, "Remember to tell the Pavilion Master not to let the disciples out of the valley for a while. Lie low for a while. The Holy Church of Light may come again."
"Are they crazy?" Shen Yinghu frowned.
Chu Li said, "Maybe they have other motives. I received news from the Secret Guardians Hall that there are other sects that were assassinated by the Holy Church of Light. I don't know what their motive is. We have to wait and see. Anyway, don't let the disciples out of the valley."
"I will tell Senior Sister." Shen Yinghu nodded and slowly fell asleep.
After an hour, Chu Li pulled out the needle and returned to Li Hanyan's bed. She was not awake yet but her breathing was stable.
Su Ru said, "Master …?"
Chu Li said, "She's fine now. Don't leave the valley for a while. This time, it's the disciples of the Holy Church of Light. They are all Grandmasters."
"The Holy Church of Light …" Su Ru frowned.
Chu Li said, "Chief is about to enter the Surpassing State, right?"
Su Ru perfected her innate mastery. She was about to break through.
Su Ru said, "Xue Ling is about to break through. How can I be lazy!"
Chu Li smiled. "Chief, you have a strong foundation. It will be easier for you to break through. This time, the White Shroud Chief has to come out again!"
"You want to go after those people?" Su Ru was shocked.
