"But the Saint won't simply come to the Ji Dynasty. Once the news is leaked, the Tempest Temple won't let go of the opportunity. Killing the Saint is equivalent to killing the next bishop. It'll be a huge loss to the Holy Church of Light. It's not easy to produce a Saint. "
"Isn't the Saint a member of the royal family?" Chu Li asked.
Siao Shi shook her head. "The Saintess is selected within the borders of the Li Dynasty through a special secret technique … The Holy Church of Light has a set of special secret techniques to select the Saintess. The person selected has unparalleled qualifications, and after being personally trained by the Bishop of the Holy Church of Light, her martial art skills are unparalleled. Once the Bishop of the Holy Church of Light leaves the world and heads to the Outland, the Saintess will challenge the world's top masters. She will be invincible and become an Enlightened Master in one go.
Chu Li frowned.
No matter how confident he was, he dared not say that his qualifications were the best.
The Holy Church of Light used a secret technique to find the most talented woman in the Li Dynasty. Then, an Enlightened Master would personally train her. She would be taught mystical martial arts and would be taught by a famous master. It would be extremely difficult for others to catch up to the Saint.
He could imagine that this was passed down from generation to generation. Every bishop of the Holy Church of Light had received the method of training disciples from the previous bishop. Every generation was more perfect than the other factions.
The most talented would have the highest starting point. Having an Enlightened Master as a master would be even better. The Saint trained in this way would naturally be extremely powerful. It was only natural for her to become an Enlightened Master.
Siao Shi said, "The current Saint is Princess Ming Yue of the Li Dynasty."
Chu Li nodded slowly.
He had heard of this name before but he did not know much about it.
The information from the Secret Guardians Hall was limited too. This Princess Ming Yue was very mysterious and rarely showed her face. They only knew from rumors that she was extremely beautiful.
As the Saint of the Holy Church of Light, she had always been cultivating in isolation at the Great Light Peak. Very few people had seen her face.
Siao Shi sighed. "The Holy Church of Light is the Li Dynasty's national religion. Now that the princess is the Saint, the relationship between the two is even closer. With the help of the Li Dynasty and the second half of the Great Light Scripture, the Holy Church of Light is getting stronger. It's only a matter of time before it surpasses the Tempest Temple."
"It can't be helped." Chu Li shook his head. "No one can stop it."
"The four great sects are not doing anything." Siao Shi scoffed, "He clearly knows that he can't let the Holy Church of Light continue to grow stronger as it will endanger the martial arts world of the Great Ji Dynasty, but he doesn't want to send anyone to the Li Dynasty. He can't afford the loss."
Chu Li replied, "It's understandable. Look at how many masters the Holy Church of Light lost when they invaded the Ji Dynasty!"
He had already killed quite a number of Grandmasters from the Holy Church of Light. If the four major sects were to secretly attack him, more masters would die.
It would be the same for the four major sects if they went to the Great Li Dynasty. A powerful dragon would not be able to suppress a snake in its own territory, and they would be at a great disadvantage if they went to the other party's territory.
"After another ten years, I'm afraid that the Holy Church of Light will become even stronger, and they'll be the only one in power. When that time comes …" Siao Shi shook her head and sighed, "I don't know what will happen."
"Lady, you worry too much," Chu Li shook his head and smiled, "What the Four Major Sects lack is not mystical or ultimate skills, but people who cultivate martial arts."
"Sigh … I hope so," Xiao Shi said.
Chu Li remained silent.
Xiao Shi's eyes flickered. "You're going back tonight?"
Chu Li nodded. "The people from the Holy Church of Light won't give up so easily. I have to take a look."
"Go." Xiao Shi waved her hand. "I'll stay here for a few days and have a good rest."
She had been worried for the past few days and did not show it in front of Chu Li. Her heart had been hanging in the air, but now that she was finally relieved, she felt lazy and did not want to move at all.
Chu Li smiled and nodded. He got up and disappeared in a flash.

The night was dark and the moon hung in the middle of the night sky.
Chu Li was immersed in the Life and Death Scripture when spiritual energy surged in from all directions and turned into Cloud Slashing Power's inner energy. It circulated along the heart technique of Cloud Slashing Power and became purer.
He had advanced to another level of the Life and Death Scripture. He had yet to understand the other changes but the most obvious one was the expansion of its range. The original five hundred meter radius was now a thousand meters. The extracted spiritual energy was much purer than before and the vitality was much stronger.
After he extracted spiritual energy and circulated it into his body, one circulation of Cloud Slashing Power was equivalent to circulating it ten times before. The degree of purity was obvious.
He estimated that his speed of catalyzing spirit herbs to mature would be ten times faster than before.
Healing with spiritual energy would also be ten times more effective.
The advancement of the Life and Death Scripture had imperceptibly increased the purity and power of Cloud Slashing Power. He should be able to put up a fight against Fang Qingyang.
With the advancement of the Life and Death Scripture, the observation range of the Omniscient Mirror had also expanded significantly. Everything within a six mile radius could be clearly seen.
The Omniscient Mirror was observing its surroundings and felt that it was much clearer than before. Suddenly, its field of vision brightened as a scorching sun appeared, rolling in from the west.
The Omniscient Mirror did not crack this time and was still able to observe this scorching sun clearly. It was Fang Qingyang!
Fang Qingyang's body was like a stream of light and was unbelievably fast. He crossed the six mile distance in the blink of an eye and arrived at King An's Imperial Residence.
Chu Li let out a soft whistle. "No one is allowed to come out!"
This long whistle resounded throughout King An's Imperial Residence and reached everyone's ears clearly.
Fang Qingyang appeared in Chu Li's courtyard like a flash of light and looked at Chu Li calmly with his hands behind his back.
Chu Li opened his eyes and looked at him.
Fang Qingyang was dressed in a green tunic and had a noble bearing. His eyes shone like cold stars and his gaze seemed solid.
"You're really alive!" Fang Qingyang said lightly.
Chu Li stood up. "Thanks to you, I'm still alive!"
"This time, I'm here to take your life." Fang Qingyang glanced around and said, "I heard that you're very concerned about Princess Siao. I don't want to use such despicable means, but if you really want to escape, I'll have to kill Princess Siao."
Chu Li smiled. "Princess Siao has already left."
"Where can she go?" Fang Qingyang said lightly. "It's nothing more than the High Duke's Public House. It's the same if I go to the High Duke's Public House to kill her. Can you stop me?"
Chu Li shook his head. "She's not in the High Duke's Public House either."
"Then kill the people from the Yi Public House," Fang Qingyang said. "You're from the High Duke's Public House, so you must be concerned about them? Don't force me! "
Chu Li scoffed. "Alright, you kill the people from the High Duke's Public House and I'll kill the disciples of the Holy Church of Light. I'd like to see who kills more people!"
Fang Qingyang frowned.
Many of the Holy Church of Light's disciples had died by Chu Li's hands. He was not joking when it came to killing the Holy Church's disciples. He really deserved to die!
When he thought of this, his murderous intent intensified and he said lightly, "Alright, then let's decide who's the winner!"
Chu Li said, "That's exactly what I wanted!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he appeared behind Fang Qingyang in a flash and activated Imminent Skyline.
Fang Qingyang disappeared in a flash.
Their figures flickered like two shadows, drifting erratically under the moonlight at an incredible speed.
"Swoosh!" Two flashes of light shot toward Chu Li.
This time, Fang Qingyang did not disappear. He stood on the spot and waited for Chu Li to appear behind him. Then, he swung his blade at him from a very close distance. The blade hit Chu Li in an instant.
The purplish golden brilliance flashed. Chu Li did not dodge and swung his blade as well.
"Swoosh!" Both of them were hit almost at the same time.
