Chu Li activated the Omniscient Mirror to see the identities of the two men in black.
They seemed to be mocking him and did not intend to kill him.
In the courtyard next to him, Miss Ruolan was quietly sipping tea and listening.
However, he did not see the Saint.
The Omniscient Mirror would not be able to see the Saint as long as she was outside his field of vision. The Divine Light Body that she cultivated was mysterious and unpredictable. It merged with everything in the world and with light. As long as there was light, she could not be seen.
He felt that the Saint was probably observing them in the dark.
"How dare you!" Chu Li gritted his teeth and glared at the two men. "This is the Holy Church of Light!"
"Hehe …" The man in black who was waving his sword chuckled. "You're not disciples of the Holy Church of Light yet, are you?"
"We're about to be!" Chu Li scoffed. "Brother Bai is about to become a disciple of the Holy Church of Light. You'll be hunted down by the Holy Church of Light for killing him. If I were you, I'd run away!"
"There's no rush." The man in black waved his sword and shook his head. "It's not too late to run away after killing you."
"You don't have to kill me," Chu Li said. "I didn't see your faces. If you want to kill Brother Bai, he's already dead. What's the point of killing me?"
"Oh, little fella, are you afraid?"
"Yes, yes, I'm afraid of death." Chu Li nodded.
"How about this." The other man in black said, "As long as you kowtow three times and call us grandfather twice, we'll spare your life!"
"Really?" Chu Li pretended to be surprised.
The other man in black said, "There's no difference whether we kill you or not."
"Three kowtows isn't too much, right?" The man in black waved his sword. "Hurry up, or we'll kill you!"
Chu Li tried his best to kneel. He landed on his knees and coughed violently. Blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. "Alright, I'll kowtow three times!"
As he spoke, he bent his back and went down.
"Tss!" A flash of light flashed. He swung his long sword and used the River Razing Form.
"Ding …" The long saber was touched by the tip of the sword and he almost lost his grip. A surge of inner force rushed into his body.
"Pfft!" Chu Li spat out a mouthful of blood. He continued to swing his blade and yelled, "I'm going to knock you to death!"
His ugly face was hideous and terrifying, and the blood vessels on his neck bulged like wriggling earthworms.
"Ding …" The long saber was struck by the sword tip again.
As the inner energy rushed into his body, Chu Li spat out another mouthful of blood. He stomped his feet and exerted force through his knees. He rushed towards the man in black who was waving his sword. He ignored the sword that was coming at him and wanted to perish together with him.
Bang! Just as his long saber was about to cut the man in black, a huge force hit his chest. It was another man in black who had punched him and sent him flying.
He crashed straight into the wall, like a painting hanging on the wall, unable to come down. His body sank slightly into the wall, and there was a force that kept squeezing him.
Chu Li struggled with all his might. Blood was gushing out of the corner of his mouth, but he did not care. He seemed to have gone mad.
"Bang!" Another punch came. He tilted his head to avoid it and roared, "I will definitely kill you all!"
"Haha …" The two men burst into laughter and threw two more punches.
Chu Li's vision darkened, and he slowly passed out.
He visualized the Tree of Life and Death in his mind. The Omniscient Mirror turned into a round mirror and hung on a branch of the Tree of Life and Death. Then, the Tree of Life and Death disappeared, and so did the Omniscient Mirror.
"This young fella is so stubborn." The two men in black shook their heads and tossed the long swords away.
Miss Ruolan glided over.
"Junior Sister Ruolan." The two men gave a fist salute and removed their masks. They were the two men who had been guarding the entrance.
Miss Ruolan nodded. "You're too fast."
"It can't be helped. This young fella is too crazy. If he continues to cause trouble, he'll become a mortal enemy," one of the young men said with a smile. "Judging by his actions, he might even be able to enter the mountain!"
"Mm." Miss Ruolan's bright eyes swept across the two men before she turned to look at Chu Li. "Take the corpse away."
"Alright." The two men agreed.
The two men quickly left. Miss Ruolan patted Chu Li's body twice and fed him some pills to help him recover. Then, she lifted him up and glided to the backyard.
In the depths of the backyard, the Saint was dressed in white and did not move at all.
"Saint." Miss Ruolan put Chu Li down and said in a low voice, "That Bai Qian is a good seedling. It's such a pity."
"If he harbors ill intentions, he'll only become a scourge." The Saint's cold and moving voice rang out.
Miss Ruolan was stunned. "Harbors ill intentions?"
She felt that Bai Qian was bold and did not follow the rules. This could be a bad thing or a good thing. It all depended on how he was used.
The Saint said, "He tried to harm Zhao Dahe as soon as he met him. He's fearful and disrespectful of the Holy Church. Such a person cannot be a disciple of the church!"
"Yes." Miss Ruolan nodded.
She knew that the Saint could see through people's hearts.
"Is Zhao Dahe alright?" Miss Ruolan asked. "I can see that he has a pure mind, although he's a little ugly."
"Mm, he's a good material. He'll need to be polished properly. He'll be more troublesome than the other disciples." The Saint nodded. "See if there's anything on him."
Miss Ruolan lowered her head and searched his chest pocket. However, she did not find anything else, so she continued her search. Since the Saint said that there was something on him, there must be something.
Soon, she found a small pouch hanging from Chu Li's neck. There was a sarira in the pouch. It was the sarira that Kong Fa had given her.
"Saint, is this it?" Miss Ruolan handed it over.
The Saint reached out her fair hand and picked up the sarira with her slender index finger. She stared at it thoughtfully.
After a while, she scoffed and said, "Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture! … The person he met was indeed a high monk from the Titanium Temple. "
"The monks from the Titanium Temple still came to the Li Dynasty?" Miss Ruolan frowned. "Aren't they too savage?"
"They're detached from the mortal world. Not only the Li Dynasty, but even the Fu Dynasty, Zheng Dynasty, and Qiu Dynasty are nothing to them," the Saint said with a scoff.
The Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture happened to be the nemesis of the Mind Illumination Scripture. It was no wonder that when she peeped into Zhao Dahe's mind, there was a strange force stopping her. As expected, it was a Sarira. Moreover, it was the Sarira of an eminent monk who cultivated the Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture.
She had also considered the possibility that Zhao Dahe possessed some kind of mystical skill and had ulterior motives. Later on, when she recalled his fortuitous encounter, she vaguely guessed that he might have obtained a Sarira. An eminent monk would definitely leave behind a Sarira after his rainbow transformation.
"I'll hold onto this relic for now," the Saintess said calmly. "I'll return it to him later."
"Understood." Although Miss Ruolan was puzzled, she did not ask any further questions.
"Wake him up," the Saintess said.
Miss Ruolan took a deep breath and gently struck Chu Li's chest with her palm.
"Puff!" Chu Li spat out a mouthful of blood.
With a wave of Miss Ruolan's sleeve, the blood arrow was rolled up and spun in the air. Then, it turned into a drop of blood and fell into the soil, hiding in the depths of the flowering shrubs.
Chu Li slowly woke up.
When he saw Miss Ruolan, he smiled bitterly and asked, "Another test?"
"It's not a test." Miss Ruolan shook her head.
Chu Li hurriedly asked, "Is Brother Bai really dead?"
"He's dead," Miss Ruolan replied.
Chu Li said indignantly, "Brother Bai was quite a good person. Did someone really manage to break into this place?"
"He was up to no good and deserved to die," Miss Ruolan said calmly. "Zhao Dahe, where are you from?"
"I'm from Peace Town." Chu Li blinked his triangular eyes. "Miss Ruolan, don't you know?"
"Young?? Close? The chair fits the tailor, the stick fits the foundation! Than the ridge of a horse.
