"Let's go." The two ladies in purple nodded gently and led the way.
Chu Li slowly left the martial arts field under everyone's gaze, causing them to sigh.
Even if they were hostile towards Chu Li and wanted nothing more than to get rid of him, they could empathize with him when they saw him being like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in front of the torture chamber disciples and became fearful of the church's rules.
The wind was piercingly cold and it felt like a knife blowing on his face. The fragrance on their bodies had almost dissipated but Chu Li's sense of smell was exceptionally sensitive. He smelled their faint fragrance and slowly walked down.
His mind raced as he walked.
No matter how severe the punishment he received in the torture chamber was, it would not be enough to expel him from the sect and cripple his martial arts.
After all, this was just a competition and it was considered an unintentional mistake. It was different from intentionally killing or crippling someone's martial arts.
Qin Huaichuan was all smiles and did not seem hostile at all. Yet, he had suddenly plotted against Chu Li without batting an eyelid. Chu Li was not only unable to see through Qin Huaichuan's thoughts, but his cultivation level was also higher than Chu Li's. What a formidable opponent.
Unfortunately, he could not kill him with a Light Blade since he was at Great Light Peak. He must take revenge and find a chance!
As he thought about this, he was led by the two ladies to a basilica.
The two ladies turned to look at him and nodded in satisfaction when they saw how obedient he was. "This is the torture chamber. If you have any grievances later, you can tell the Deputy Clan Leader in person. The Deputy Clan Leader is impartial and will never wrong you!"
"Yes, thank you, Senior Sisters." Chu Li fist saluted.
The two ladies led him into the basilica. It was as warm as spring and the wind instantly disappeared.
He had already noticed the strangeness of the basilica. It was wind-repelling and there was no formation. It was obviously related to the materials used to build the basilica.
The basilica was empty. The thick and soft carpet seemed to be patterned with a ferocious tiger that exuded an awe-inspiring aura. Several ferocious beasts were hung on the wall. The entire basilica seemed to be hell and it was chilling.
There was a wide and long desk under the north wall. A slender and graceful lady in purple was sitting behind the desk and reading a book. When she heard footsteps, she put down her book and looked over. Her eyes were as clear as autumn water, gentle and charming.
This lady was about the same age as Li Ruolan. She was less than thirty years old and her womanly charm was fully displayed. Her gaze was captivating.
"Hall Master Xia, I've brought Zhao Dahe here."
"Zhao Dahe?" Clan Leader Xia sized him up and said calmly, "Zhao Dahe was lured here by Li Ruolan?"
Chu Li was stunned.
Hall Master Xia said, "I'm Xia Xue. Li Ruolan must have mentioned me before, right?"
Chu Li was shocked. "Senior … Senior Sister Xia?"
Xia Xue nodded. "It's me."
"I didn't expect to see Senior Sister Xia here," Chu Li said.
At that time, he had asked Sun Lihua. Sun Lihua only knew that Xia Xue was in the Penalty Hall, but she did not know that Xia Xue was the Vice Hall Master. Perhaps this Vice Hall Master had just been appointed, or the Penalty Hall was too mysterious to the disciples.
Xia Xue said, "You didn't expect to see me here. Li Ruolan did. She asked me to keep an eye on you. Sure enough, you caused trouble the moment you came in."
Chu Li smiled bitterly.
He didn't want to say that he was framed, but since it was Xia Xue, there was no harm in mentioning it.
"He fought with Qin Huaichuan and crippled his martial arts?" Xia Xue picked up a dossier and scanned through it. Then, she asked calmly, "Do you know this Qin Huaichuan?"
"This is the first time I've met him," Chu Li said.
"Qin Huaichuan is considered one of the best among the younger generation. Your cultivation level isn't as good as his, right?" Xia Xue asked.
Chu Li nodded. "I've cultivated the Giant Spirit Palm and the Floating Flower Palm."
"Hmm …" Xia Xue nodded. "It seems that you're indeed a genius, but it's true that you injured his Dantian."
Chu Li sighed. "He wanted to hurt himself. How could I stop him?"
"He framed you?" Xia Xue asked.
Chu Li nodded.
Xia Xue pondered for a moment. "No matter what, it's a fact that you've violated the rules. It's hard to find out whether he framed you or not. You can only deal with it according to the facts. … I'll get Elder Yang to investigate."
Chu Li fist saluted. "Thank you, Clan Leader Xia."
"You've destroyed Qin Huaichuan's cultivation level. Your punishment is to leave the Sutra Library and be demoted to a medicine boy in the Spirit Medicine Nursery for a year!" Xia Xue said. "Don't cause any more trouble when you're in the Spirit Medicine Nursery!"
Chu Li sighed. "I don't want to cause trouble, but trouble always comes to me!"
"I'll inform Altar Leader Mo," Xia Xue said. "I don't think he'll dare to do anything again."
"Yes." Chu Li fist saluted. "Thank you, Clan Leader Xia."
Xia Xue's words were definitely effective because Mo Cuicui was here. If Altar Leader Mo insisted on messing around, Mo Cuicui would be the unlucky one in the end. It was not a problem to avenge his dead niece, but if it involved his daughter, then he would have to consider it carefully.
Xia Xue said, "The Spirit Medicine Nursery is tough, but you can learn some things. You cultivate very quickly, so it might not affect your cultivation."
"There were originally three people in the Spirit Medicine Nursery. After I go, will Cui Da and Cui Er leave?"
"The outer mountain disciples will advance by one. The original second place will enter the Sutra Library, which means your ranking will become fifth."
"I see …" Chu Li nodded slowly.
He was with Cui Da and Cui Er, so he could teach the two brothers a lesson!
Even if Cui Da and Cui Er did not know about this incident, they were instigated to provoke him, which led him to the martial arts field, where he fought with Qin Huaichuan, one after another.
Qin Huaichuan's tactics were brilliant.
"Regarding Cui Da and Cui Er, don't go too far." Xia Xue seemed to have read Chu Li's mind and said, "They have ordinary aptitudes, but their parents are not ordinary people. Even if you don't care about them, you should care about them."
Chu Li said slowly, "Don't worry, Clan Leader. I know what I'm doing!"
"This is a book of rules. Take it and read it carefully." Xia Xue tossed a thick book to Chu Li.
Chu Li reached out and took it.
Xia Xue said, "Alright, go."
Chu Li fist saluted.
Two young purple-clothed girls walked in front of him, leading him down the mountain.
The cold faded bit by bit, and the strong wind weakened bit by bit until they arrived at a huge valley at the foot of the mountain. It was as warm as spring, and there was no howling wind at all. It felt like he was in another world.
He was particularly sensitive to the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth. As soon as he stepped out of the valley, he felt the abundance of spiritual energy. It turned out to be an excellent place to cultivate. With the Omniscient Mirror, he saw a Glory's Will Tree.
The moonlight shone into the valley like water.
The valley was lush and warm like spring. In the middle of the valley was a lush forest, and in the middle of the forest was a towering tree that reached the clouds. It was tall and straight like a sword. It was the Glory's Will Tree.
The growth of the Glory's Will Tree was extremely slow. To be able to grow to such a height, it must have taken at least a thousand years.
The valley shrouded by the Glory's Will Tree was full of spiritual energy, which was the most suitable for the growth of Spirit Medicine. The Holy Church of Light's resources were indeed extraordinary. They could even get their hands on the Glory's Will Tree!
"Elder Zhou!"
"Elder Zhou!"
The two women in purple shouted as they entered the valley.
