Chu Li mentioned, “Write in reply to the Saint.”
Liang Yinge shook his head. “Tell her that the timing isn’t right yet on my side, I’ll write to her when it’s time!”
Chu Li responded, “Without a representation item, a verbal statement isn’t enough as proof. Either you write a letter to her, or you pass me a representation item.”
Liang Yinge shot a look at him before he replied, “There’s no need for that.”
Chu Li squinted his eyes at him.
Liang Yinge looked at him in the eye without saying a word.
The moment they looked at each other, it was as if flashes and shadows of swords could be seen in the air as both parties had strong killing intent. Obviously, they both knew that they wanted to kill each other, but one could not kill, while the other was not confident.
A brief moment later, Chu Li said, “Looks like you have no respect for the Saint.”
“You’re just here to deliver a letter, don’t forget where you stand,” Liang Yinge added. “You’re nobody to interfere with what’s only between the Saint and me. Just move along!”
Chu Li frowned at him. “You’re so lazy to even write a letter.”
“Hmph!” Liang Yinge sneered. “Stop pestering me, I won’t be writing a reply to her today.”
Chu Li scorned. “Looks like you’re deliberately making things difficult for me.”
“At least you’re aware,” Liang Yinge replied coldly.
Chu Li uttered, “We’ll have to fight then!”
All of a sudden, with a flash, he appeared behind Liang Yinge and swung both his hands.
“Tss, tss, tss, tss!” His hands turned into blurry shadows. By swinging his hands twice, he shot out four energy blades at Liang Yinge.
Liang Yinge had an unusually fast body technique as well as a sharp sense. For that reason, Chu Li’s Light Blades had only hit his shadow. Then, he appeared behind Chu Li and struck his Nine Kills Palm soundlessly.
Chu Li vanished before he appeared behind Liang Yinge again.
Then, Liang Yinge disappeared too.
Both of their body techniques were so fast that they were simply unpredictable.
While Chu Li had God’s Limbs, Liang Yinge had a similar body technique too. His teleportation speed was so fast that it was beyond one’s reaction time. The two of them were quite equal in this aspect.
Although Chu Li was confident that his God’s Limbs surpassed Liang Yinge’s body technique, he had lost his advantage due to the short distance between them. When they ended up in a deadlock, Chu Li was forced to float around like a leaf where he underwent an extreme change between his true and false form.
In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged roughly twenty blows, yet neither of them could take down the other.
Chu Li did not hurry. Instead, he constantly operated his Omniscient Mirror and the Nature Restoration Manifestation to observe patiently.
About thirty hits later, he shot two energy blades into the void.
Following that, he repeated the same move.
Afterward, he shot two real blades instead.
For all three attacks, he had shot the blades into the void.
“Tss!” On his last attack, Liang Yinge appeared and suffered two hits on his chest.
As he trembled slightly, it has caused the shiny flying blades to fall to the ground.
There were two holes on Liang Yinge’s green robe, but the flying blades did not pierce through his chest due to his treasured clothing.
Liang Yinge’s treasured clothing was so formidable that neither Chu Li’s profound cultivation level nor his powerful Light Blades were able to do harm to it. Even if Chu Li’s blades could penetrate it, they might not injure Liang Yinge.
Upon seeing Liang Yinge unharmed, Chu Li realized that his flying blades were not strong enough to injure him.
“What an amazing Light Blade!” Liang Yinge furrowed his brows at Chu Li.
‘Zhao Dahe’s Light Blade isn’t powerful because of its speed, but because he was able to envision the right timing to shoot his blades in advance. If it wasn’t for my treasured clothing, I wouldn’t have been able to prevent the attack if I had relied only on my martial arts.’
Chu Li scoffed. “What treasured clothing are you wearing?”
Liang Yinge replied, “It doesn’t have a name. As long as I wear my treasured clothing, you can’t do anything to me. Zhao Dahe, you better watch out.”
Chu Li responded, “How sad it is for a pavilion master of the Mysterious Pavilion to protect himself with treasured clothing!”
“Treasured clothing is a form of strength too,” Liang Yinge spoke arrogantly. “All Mysterious Pavilion masters of past generations protect themselves with treasured clothing, which is something that a powerless person like you will not experience. I suggest that you leave now. This fight is meaningless!”
He cast a sidelong glance at Chu Li.
Chu Li curled his lips. “Treasured clothing isn’t impenetrable. I’ll find a treasure blade when I return.”
Liang Yinge squinted his eyes.
‘I must be ready for that. If Zhao Dahe really finds a sharp treasure blade that can penetrate through my treasured clothing, he’ll be too dangerous.
‘I must get rid of him as soon as possible!’
When Liang Yinge thought about that, he became more eager to cultivate his martial art. So, he waved his hand. “Please go!”
Chu Li insisted, “Reply to the letter!”
He could tell that Liang Yinge wanted him to leave right away so that he could continue his cultivation.
Liang Yinge frowned. Then, he retrieved a letter and tossed it to Chu Li. “Take it!”
Chu Li glanced at the letter where three words were written. “It’s not time.”
Satisfied, he kept the envelope. “We’ll meet again.”
Liang Yinge sneered. “The next time we meet, I’ll kill you!”
“Right back at you!” Chu Li smiled and he fluttered away.
Liang Yinge stomped his feet madly which caused the gigantic rock to shake.
After letting go of his killing intent, he finally felt more at ease. Hence, he was no longer frustrated and he could continue his practice later.
As Chu Li fluttered back, he sighed as he was troubled.
Chu Li found Liang Yinge to be like a hedgehog that was hard to kill — it was truly irritating. Somehow, he had a strong enmity toward Liang Yinge as if he was a formidable opponent who must be killed if he wanted to be at peace.
When he returned to Divine Light Basilica to present the letter to Sun Mingyue, she frowned without saying a word.
Chu Li asked, “Saint, what exactly is it? Do you need my help?”
Sun Mingyue looked at him. Then, she replied, “Since you’re a Branch Leader now, it doesn’t matter if you know about this.”
Chu Li looked at her attentively.
Sun Mingyue continued, “It’s about King Ping from Ji Dynasty.”
Chu Li’s heart sank, but his facial expression remained the same. “King Ping… I think I’ve heard of him.”
Sun Mingyue humphed. “Looks like you haven’t been paying enough attention to matters related to the Holy Church.”
Chu Li replied, “Isn’t King Ping the one whose military power was withdrawn, so he’s no longer in charge of anything? I’ve also heard that the crown prince of Ji Dynasty was decided and that King Ping can’t turn the situation around anymore. If nothing goes out of place, he probably can’t be in control of the military force.”
Sun Mingyue was pleased with his answer. ‘Looks like Zhao Dahe’s still aware of worldly matters even though he’s always occupied with his cultivation. He’s a wise man indeed.’
Chu Li added, “King Ping left the royal court because he lost heart after the consort’s death. Was it us who did it?”
“No.” Sun Mingyue grinned.
Chu Li was surprised. “It wasn’t the Holy Church?”
Sun Mingyue shook her head. “It wasn’t us.”
“Who was it then?” Chu Li mentioned, “There’s a deep resentment between King Ping and us, it should’ve been us!”
“The Mysterious Pavilion,” Sun Mingyue answered.
Chu Li commented, “Killing the consort… They went overboard, didn’t they?”
Sun Mingyue glared at him as she expressed, “I didn’t expect you to have protective feelings for women!”
Chu Li explained, “I think that it’s fine to assassinate King Ping, but killing the consort… After all, she’s an innocent and weak woman. It’s just not right to kill a woman like her!”
“Why would anyone be so particular about this when it comes to a war between dynasties?” Sun Mingyue said, “I did want to kill King Ping, and I have no intention of harming the consort, but Liang Yinge beat me to it and killed the consort. When I attempted to assassinate King Ping, I suffered a huge loss. Liang Yinge has plotted a scheme against me.”
