Their thoughts and inner struggles were reflected in Chu Li's mind. He frowned and asked, "Senior Sister, who else knows about us coming to the Qiu Dynasty?"
"Apart from the Saint, there shouldn't be anyone else, right?" Li Ruolan asked.
"What about Altar Leader Mo?"
"… Altar Leader Mo might know too." Li Ruolan pondered. "When the Saint was talking to me, Altar Leader Mo was outside the basilica. He might have heard us. What happened?"
"Someone leaked the news that we're coming to the Qiu Dynasty. These people must've gotten the news!" Chu Li frowned. "That's troublesome. They're fully prepared and even know about our background."
"Altar Leader Mo?" Li Ruolan frowned and her face darkened. "Would he dare to do such a thing?"
"Why wouldn't he?" Chu Li scoffed. "We can't find any evidence. Are we supposed to capture two people from the Qiu Dynasty? Even if we do, someone has to believe what they said. "
"You'll know once you ask them, Saint," Li Ruolan replied.
Chu Li shook his head. "We can't trouble the Saint with everything!"
Li Ruolan nodded.
The Saint was busy and had too many things to worry about. If Chu Li bothered the Saint with every little thing, he would be able to solve it, but it would show his incompetence and he would not be able to advance further.
She sighed. "Looks like we'll have to change our route."
"Let's try and see how far we can go," Chu Li said. "I have a keen sense of danger. I'll lead the way!"
"Alright." Li Ruolan nodded.
She looked calm and her eyes flickered.
It was impossible for them to escape from Hai Cang Mountain's siege. After all, they were in the Qiu Dynasty.
Although Hai Cang Mountain was not as powerful as the Reincarnation Temple, it was not an ordinary small sect. Only the Saint could escape unscathed if they went all out. Priest had a chance too, but she and Zhao Dahe had no chance.
This time, she was going to die in a foreign land. Fortunately, she would not become a wandering ghost because she had Zhao Dahe with her.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt that the solemn-looking Zhao Dahe was not that ugly after all. Instead, he had a unique charm. She felt an inexplicable sense of security and peace of mind when she was by his side. He had completely grown into a towering tree that could shelter her from the wind and rain.
She had witnessed with her own eyes how he had transformed from a country boy into the expert he was now. Although she did not fall for him even when he boldly expressed his love for her because he was ugly, she had always felt that he was kind and trustworthy. Therefore, when she came to the Qiu Dynasty to hunt them down, she immediately thought of asking him for help.
Who would have thought that he would be harmed this time!
An inexplicable sense of guilt lingered in her heart, and she could not get rid of it.
"Junior Brother Zhao, I've implicated you!" she suddenly said.
Chu Li turned to look at her and smiled. "Do you think we're dead for sure?"
"Sigh …" Li Ruolan shook her head gently.
Chu Li said, "Don't worry. As long as you listen to me, we won't die. We can go back!"
"You don't have to comfort me." Li Ruolan replied, "I'm not afraid of death. Hai Cang Mountain's ability isn't as simple as you think. Moreover, this is the Qiu Dynasty. Even their sect master can attack."
Chu Li smiled. "Senior Sister, you're not afraid of death. I'm afraid of death, so I won't die."
"Alright." Li Ruolan nodded.
Chu Li shook his head and could not help but laugh when he saw that she was trying to comfort him.
—
Chu Li had the Omniscient Mirror, so he could see everything within a six-mile radius. He could bring Li Ruolan with him to avoid the Hai Cang Mountain disciples in advance.
However, the Hai Cang Mountain disciples had come out in full force this time. They might have already killed Zhao Haiyun, which completely angered them. They had set up an ambush in advance and were just waiting for the two of them to come in. The path that they had to pass through was blocked. Even if there was an ambush, they could only force their way through. There was no other way.
There was a huge canyon on the way to the Li Dynasty. Both sides of the canyon were cliffs that looked like they had been cut by a knife. They were more than two hundred meters tall and looked like a natural moat.
There were only two ways to get there. One was to go from the bottom of the canyon, and the other was to go from the cliff on the side.
However, no matter if they went from the bottom of the canyon or climbed up the cliff, they would not be able to hide from the Hai Cang Mountain disciples. Were there people at the top of the cliff? Looking, they could see if there were people at the bottom of the canyon and the cliff.
Chu Li glanced at the number of people. There were only four of them, but they were all masters.
The two of them went into the forest to observe. The sun had already set and the forest was dyed red. The two of them stood between the branches and looked at the four middle-aged men in blue robes who were standing proudly on the cliff. They shook their heads.
Li Ruolan frowned. "Looks like we can only force our way through!"
Chu Li said, "These four people are tough. Once there's any movement, masters will come quickly."
"How about tonight?" Li Ruolan asked.
Chu Li smiled and nodded. "Let's go at night then."
The two of them retreated and went deep into the dense forest to avoid being noticed by the Hai Cang Mountain disciples on the cliff.
Li Ruolan moved a rock and sat down. She opened her bag and took out some dry food. Chu Li moved a rock and sat opposite her.
Li Ruolan passed the dry food to him. "If we can get through this and cross the bridge in front, we'll be able to reach the Li Dynasty's territory. We'll be able to escape from being hunted down."
Not far from the canyon, there was a two-mile wide river. They had to take a boat to cross it. No matter how good their Light-body Technique was, they could not cross it.
Chu Li nodded. "Don't worry, Senior Sister. We can get back."
Li Ruolan smiled. "I didn't have any confidence before, but it's different now … How do you have such a sharp intuition?"
Chu Li frowned and thought about it. In the end, he shook his head helplessly. "I don't know how I got it. Is it the Divine Light Body or the Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture? I can't figure it out."
"The variety of martial arts you've learned is quite scary," Li Ruolan said.
If other people had these strange martial arts of his, they wouldn't even dare to practice it. Once they practiced it, they would go crazy.
The Divine Light Body Scripture and the Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture were completely different, but he could fuse them together. There was also the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture, which was different from the other two, but he could still fuse them together.
Putting everything else aside, the fact that he could cultivate all three at the same time made him a genius.
Chu Li smiled. "Each has its own benefits. Senior Sister, how did you get this mission?"
"Among the patrols, I'm the only one who's free." Li Ruolan said helplessly, "They're busy training new people. I need a break and there's no new people to train. That's why I'm the only one who can do this. I should've done it myself instead of dragging you into this!"
Chu Li said, "Senior Sister, there's nothing to see. But Hai Cang Mountain really shouldn't be underestimated."
Although he did not fight with the disciples of Hai Cang Mountain, he could see through their cultivation level. It was deep and profound. Indeed, they were not ordinary masters.
"Their swordsmanship is top-notch," Li Ruolan said. "It's even stronger than our Divine Light Sword."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
Li Ruolan said, "The strongest martial art of our Great Light Scripture is the Divine Light Fist. The Divine Light Sword isn't the best."
Chu Li nodded slowly.
His expression suddenly changed and he quickly raised his index finger.
Li Ruolan's charming eyes were filled with doubt.
Chu Li shook his head.
Through the Omniscient Mirror, he saw an old man gliding up the precipice like a golden eagle. He did not even need to take a breath or use his feet as a foothold. His Light-body Technique left Chu Li speechless, and the depth of his cultivation level made him wary. This was a peerless master!
