Chu Li coughed. "Actually, Monk Zhi Shan isn't that scary. His cultivation level is only slightly higher than Altar Leader Mo's."
Mo Qianjun replied, "He's indeed one level higher than me."
Bai Feng frowned and sighed. "But his heart technique is terrifying. The Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture can fight ten people at once."
She knew how terrifying the lunar chakram was. Her junior sister had died to it back then. Without Zhao Dahe's help, she might not have survived either. Monk Zhi Shan seemed to be targeting women.
The Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture could restrain her martial arts. Her weapons could not even withstand a single blow from the lunar chakram and her other martial arts could not do anything to him.
Although the Tian Luo Sect had been declining for the past few years, she had always been strong because her cultivation level was high enough. However, she was as weak as a child in front of Monk Zhi Shan.
Chu Li said, "The key is to find a way to restrain the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture. There's no such thing as an invincible martial art. The Reincarnation Temple isn't invincible!"
"Young Master Zhao, do you have any ideas?" Bai Feng asked.
Chu Li shook his head. "No."
Everyone sighed in disappointment.
His earlier performance had won everyone's respect. It was terrifying to have such a powerful force with such a weak cultivation level. If he recovered his martial arts, he might even be able to fight Monk Zhi Shan.
He did not need anything else. The Light Blade alone was enough to suppress Monk Zhi Shan, causing him to return empty-handed.
"What happened?" Zhou Jinchun and Ji Xin stepped into the courtyard and were puzzled when they saw the tragic scene. They could tell that a huge battle had taken place.
"Junior Sister Lu!" Zhou Jinchun quickly called out.
Ji Xin looked at Li Ruolan and quickly went forward. "Junior Sister Li, are you okay?"
Li Ruolan shook her head and smiled. "It's just a small injury. Monk Zhi Shan came just now and everyone fought."
Ji Xin asked, "Did you defeat him?"
"You could say so." Li Ruolan nodded.
Ji Xin smiled. "That's good."
Zhou Jinchun was anxious when he saw Lu Zhen's pale face and weak breathing. He quickly asked, "Junior Sister Li, Junior Sister Lu …?"
"She's already taken the pill." Li Ruolan's expression darkened.
Even if Senior Sister Lu could pull through this serious injury, it would take a long time for her to recover. Fate was heartless. Senior Sister Lu was like a flower, but she had lost an arm and suffered such a serious injury.
Zhou Jinchun gritted his teeth. "Monk Zhi Shan, I swear to kill you!"
Zhu Wenhan sneered and cast a sidelong glance at him.
Zhou Jinchun turned around and glared at him.
Zhu Wenhan scoffed, "You want to kill Bald Donkey Zhi Shan? What a joke!"
Zhou Jinchun said coldly, "Who are you?"
Mo Qianjun said, "That's enough. Brother Zhu, don't vent your anger on others. Life and death are decided in the blink of an eye. If you run into someone like Zhi Shan, you'll lose your life at any moment. The next moment, it might be you!"
"Zhao Dahe won't die!" Zhu Wenhan sneered.
Chu Li frowned as he looked at him. His triangular eyes flashed coldly.
Zhu Wenhan felt a chill run down his spine. He snorted and turned his head to avoid eye contact.
After witnessing Chu Li's Light Blade, he knew that he would not be able to dodge even a single blade. If he really offended Chu Li, he would lose his life if Chu Li attacked him secretly. A wise man knew better than to fight when the odds were against him.
"Alright, everyone, let's disperse and tend to our wounds. Both Zhao Dahe and I are quite badly injured." Mo Qianjun gave a fist salute. "Monk Zhi Shan has been stabbed twice. He won't be back for the time being. Everyone can sleep in peace."
"Alright." Everyone gave a fist salute and left the Town Defense Prefecture.
Bai Feng gave him a look. "Goodbye, Young Master Zhao."
"Yes." Chu Li gave a fist salute.
After everyone left, Mo Qianjun said, "Find a house in the backyard and stay there. Someone will clean it up."
He glanced at Chu Li and nodded with a smile before leaving the courtyard.
Chu Li looked at him coldly.
Zhou Jinchun and Ji Xin shook their heads and sighed. Altar Leader Mo was so generous, but Junior Brother Zhao was so cold. He was too narrow-minded.
Chu Li glanced at them and scoffed. "You're a smiling tiger!"
"It can't be?" Zhou Jinchun said, "Altar Leader Mo is generous and magnanimous. Junior Brother Zhao, you might have misunderstood."
Chu Li sneered and shook his head.
Li Ruolan frowned. "Junior Brother Zhao, did you guys fight secretly?"
"Forget it. I'll go tend to my wounds." Chu Li waved his hand and strode away.
—
"This Junior Brother Zhao …" Ji Xin shook his head and sighed. "He needs to change his temper or he'll suffer in the future!"
He turned around and asked, "Junior Sister Li, didn't everyone kill Monk Zhi Shan?"
Li Ruolan shook her head and said softly, "It's already a miracle that we managed to force him to run away!"
"He's that powerful?" Ji Xin was surprised.
Li Ruolan lowered her voice and said, "Senior Brother Ji, you should go back with Senior Brother Zhou."
"What about you, Junior Sister Li?" Ji Xin asked.
Li Ruolan replied, "I have to stay behind to take care of Senior Sister Lu."
"I'll stay too," Ji Xin said.
Li Ruolan frowned. "Monk Zhi Shan might come at any time. It's too dangerous."
"It'll be more dangerous if you stay!" Ji Xin shook his head. "How can I escape alone? Moreover, one more person means more strength. We won't be a burden, right?"
Li Ruolan sighed. "There's nothing you can do even if you stay. Monk Zhi Shan's Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture can borrow other people's strength. It won't make a difference if there are two, three, or four people. Therefore, it's better for you to leave first so that you won't suffer too many losses. The White Tiger Sect lost another master just now!"
"He's so powerful. Do you want a Priest to come?" Zhou Jinchun looked away from Lu Zhen and turned around to look at them. "Are we just going to let him do whatever he wants?"
"Fortunately, Junior Brother Zhao is here. He can stop him," Li Ruolan said.
"Junior Brother Zhao will stay too?" Ji Xin asked.
Li Ruolan nodded. "Altar Leader Mo won't let him go."
"… All the more reason for me to stay! Senior Brother Zhou, you should leave first. Report to the Saint and ask a Priest to come and deal with Monk Zhi Shan! "Ji Xin said.
He could vaguely sense Chu Li's threat and had to be careful.
"Alright." Li Ruolan nodded.
Logically, such a dangerous situation should have reached the Saint's ears and she would have sent a Priest over. However, the Saint only sent the three of them over. It was obvious that she did not receive Altar Leader Mo's request for help.
It was impossible for the message to be intercepted halfway. The Holy Church's information was delivered by the Golden Eagle and was out of reach. The only possibility was that Altar Leader Mo did not ask for help.
She guessed that Altar Leader Mo was greedy and wanted to eliminate Monk Zhi Shan on his own so that he could become a Priest as soon as possible.
Once he asked for help, all his previous hard work would be erased and it would not be easy for him to become a Priest.
Li Ruolan understood this as she would do the same thing most of the time. However, her good friend Lu Zhen's life was at stake, so she was slightly dissatisfied.
Since Altar Leader Mo did not ask for help, she would ask for help herself. She could not let him do whatever he wanted and kill more people.
However, Altar Leader Mo did not ask for help because he was greedy. Lu Zhen was already severely injured and crippled, so the other three sects could not say anything. In this case, he was using Monk Zhi Shan to weaken the three sects' strength. It was a smart move.
The three sects seemed to be declining but they were unwilling to give up. They secretly planned to deal a heavy blow to the Holy Church of Light so that it would not be able to dominate the Holy Church of Light. The Radiance Clan's massacre was done by the three sects together and everyone in the Holy Church of Light remembered it!
As she thought about this, she sighed. "Just go back and report the truth. There's no need to ask for help. It's up to the Saint to decide whether to send a Priest over."
"Alright." Zhou Jinchun said, "I'll bring Junior Sister Lu away."
"Senior Sister Lu can't leave." Li Ruolan sighed.
Zhou Jinchun frowned at her.
Li Ruolan said, "First of all, Senior Sister Lu is severely injured and can't take this anymore. Secondly, I'm afraid Monk Zhi Shan won't let this go!"
