Chapter 888: 888
Their thoughts and their internal struggles were clearly displayed in Chu Li’s head . With a frown, he asked, “Senior sister, who else knows about us going to the Qiu Dynasty?”
“Apart from the Saint, I suppose nobody else knows?” Li Ruolan answered .
“How about Altar Leader Mo?”
“…Altar Leader Mo might know too . ” Li Ruolan pondered, then added, “When the Saint spoke to me, Altar Leader Mo was just outside the basilica . He might’ve heard us, what’s the matter?”
“The news of us going to the Qiu Dynasty was leaked, those people heard the news!” Chu Li furrowed his brows again . “That’s going to be troublesome . They’re fully prepared, and even knows about our background . ”
“Altar Leader Mo?” Li Ruolan instantly looked sullen . “He dares to do something like this?”
“Why not?” Chu Li scoffed, “We can’t get any evidence to prove this . We can’t just capture two people from the Qiu Dynasty back with us, can we? Even if we do, nobody will believe their words . ”
“The Saint will know if she asks,” Li Ruolan commented .
Chu Li shook his head . “We can’t trouble the Saint every single time!”
Li Ruolan nodded her head softly .
‘The Saint deals with a host of problems every day and has too many worries . If I bother the Saint for even the most trivial of matters, although it does solve the problem, it’ll show my incapabilities . Plus, I don’t have to think above progressing upward anymore . ’
She let out a sigh . “Looks like we’ll have to change our path . ”
“Let’s just hurry out first, and where that takes us,” Chu Li continued, “I’ve got a sharp sense for danger, let me lead!”
“Alright . ” Li Ruolan agreed .
While she remained a composed look, her eyes began to glisten .
Now that the Hai Cang Mountain was going all-out to surround them, they could not flee . After all, they were in the Qiu Dynasty .
Even though the Hai Cang Mountain was not as strong as the Reincarnation Temple, it was still no ordinary faction . Should they encircle and launch a full attack on someone, the Saint was the only one who could escape unscathed . The Priest might also be able to, but Zhao Dahe and herself were hopeless .
This time, she was going to die in a strange land . Thankfully, she was not going to turn into a lonely spirit since Zhao Dahe was with her .
She suddenly felt that Zhao Dahe, who looked very solemn, was not that ugly after all . Instead, he was charming in unique ways . Being with him gave her an indescribable sense of security and peacefulness; he had now become a towering tree that could protect her from wind and rain .
She had witnessed him transform from a young village boy into a master . Despite being unstirred even when he expressed his love to her courageously because of his ugliness, she always felt that he was kind, and was the most trustworthy . Therefore, she immediately thought of him when she needed help for the hunt-down in Qiu Dynasty .
However, she harmed him this time!
An inexplicable feeling of guilt lingered in her heart for a long time .
“Junior Brother Zhao, I dragged you into this!” She blurted out .
Chu Li turned to look at her, then smiled brightly . “Do you think that we’re going to die for sure?”
“Ugh…” Li Ruolan shook her head .
Chu Li continued, “Don’t worry, as long as you listen to me, we won’t die . We’ll be able to return!”
“You don’t have to comfort me,” Li Ruolan said, “I’m not afraid of death . The Hai Cang Mountain is not as simple as you think . Besides, we’re in the Qiu Dynasty, their sect leader can make a move too . ”

Chu Li still had a smile on his face . “Senior sister, you might not be afraid of dying, but I am, so we won’t die . ”
“Alright . ” Li Ruolan nodded .
Upon seeing her half-hearted look, Chu Li sniggered .
With the Omniscient Mirror, everything within 6 miles was clearly within his view . Along with Li Ruolan, they could avoid the Hai Cang Mountain’s disciples in advance .
That being said, now that the Hai Cang Mountain’s disciples were moving out in full strength, it was very likely that Zhao Haiyun had already died, which totally infuriated them . They probably laid in ambush beforehand and were simply waiting for the two of them . Since the obstructed paths were the only way out, Chu Li and Li Ruolan could only force their way out .
On their way back to the Li Dynasty, there was a huge canyon with precipices on the sides that resembled knives . It was over 200 meters tall, which seemed like a natural chasm .
There were only two ways to go past it . One was by going beneath the canyon, the other was by going from the side of the precipices .
Nevertheless, whether they were going to underneath or sideways, they were not able to hide from the Hai Cang San disciples . They had allocated someone at the highest point of the precipices to overlook the area . Thus, they could see if anyone was passing by those spots .
Chu Li did a quick scan and found that there were a total of four people, all of whom were masters .
Later, the two of them went into the woods to observe from a distance . Currently, the Sun was already setting, painting the trees red . They stood between the trees, shaking their heads as they checked out the four middle-aged man in blue outfits on the precipices .
Li Ruolan was worried . “Looks like we can only force our way out!”
Chu Li mentioned, “The four guys are strong . As soon as there’s a movement, other masters will come over too . ”

“How about night time?” Li Ruolan proposed .
Chu Li nodded with a smile . “We’ll go at night then . ”
Followed by that, they moved back into the dense forest to hide from the sights of the Hai Cang Mountain’s disciples .
Li Ruolan sat down on a rock, then took some dry food out from her baggage . On the other hand, Chu Li found another rock and shifted it to sit in front of her .
Later, Li Ruolan handed him some food . “As long as we pass this obstacle, and cross the bridge after, we’ll be in the Li Dynasty’s borders . We’ll be safe . ”
Not far away from the canyon, there was a river of 2 miles wide . They needed to cross it by boat because their light-body technique would not allow them to just traverse the river .
Chu Li nodded . “Senior sister, don’t worry, we’ll return . ”
Li Ruolan showed him a smile . “Earlier, I was really unsure, but I have a different thought now, … Why do you have such a sharp sense?”
Chu Li frowned for a while, then shook his head helplessly . “I don’t know too . I can’t figure if it’s because of the Divine Light Body or the MahVairocana’s Immobility Scripture . ”
“The mixture of your martial art is quite terrifying . ” Li Ruolan commented .
‘If other people were to possess scriptures to those mystical arts, they would not dare to practice it, it’d only drive them crazy .
‘Plus, the Divine Light Body and the MahVairocana’s Immobility Scripture are entirely different, yet he’s able to mix them together . Oh, the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture too . It’s not even on the same path as the other two, but he still managed to combine them together .
‘Putting everything else aside, the fact that he can cultivate three arts at the same time makes him a genius . ’

Chu Li chuckled . “They’re beneficial in their own ways . Senior sister, why were you assigned to this task?”
“I’m the only free patrol . ” Li Ruolan felt helpless . “The others are busy bringing up new intakes, but I wanted to rest so there aren’t any under my care . In the end, I’m the only one who can do this . I should’ve come here alone, instead of dragging you into the mess!”
Chu Li replied, “Senior sister, you’re treating me too much like an outsider . The Hai Cang Mountain is really not one to be underestimated . ”
Though he had not exchanged fists with their disciples yet, he saw through their cultivation levels, which were extremely profound . They were indeed not a match for ordinary masters .
“Their swordsmanship is remarkable,” Li Ruolan added, “It’s even stronger than our Divine Light Sword Technique . ”
Chu Li raised his brows .
Li Ruolan continued, “The most powerful martial art in the Scripture of Great Light is the Divine Fist of Great Light, not the Divine Light Sword Technique . ”
Chu Li nodded his head slowly .
Without warning, his face changed, where he quickly put his finger up .
Li Ruolan was clearly bewildered .
Chu Li then shook his head with his finger on his mouth .
Through the Omniscient Mirror, he saw an elder fluttering onto the precipice like a gold eagle whirring its way up . In between, he kept changing breaths as he changed steps, whereby his exceptional light-body technique left Chu Li speechless . Furthermore, Chu Li was also fearful of the profoundness of his cultivation level, considering he was a legendary master!
The Thin Elder had eyes so sharp that they looked like electric lights . He looked from the precipice at the forest in which the two of them were hiding; it was as if he was scanning with a pair of an eagle’s eyes .
