Song Zhifan said: "Your mission is to stay outside and collect news. Don't miss any news about Fan Chuli. If you feel you need to disturb my retreat, then send the news back!"
Chu Li nodded and said with a smile: "What is more important than the leader practicing magical skills!"
Song Zhifan hummed: "What if he becomes a god?"
Chu Li smiled and said, "No way?"
"It's very possible." Song Zhifan said: "He also knows how powerful I am. Once he heard that I was in seclusion, he might have taken this dangerous move out of desperation. If he stepped into the gods, he would call me immediately!"
"Yes." Chu Li nodded vigorously.
Elder Fan's charming eyes fell on Lu Jun: "Xiao Lu, you are still inexperienced, so you have to listen to Baili Na on everything."
"...Okay." Lu Jun was quite unconvinced. He was an old man, but when he thought about Baili Na's experience and scheming, he was indeed inferior. Moreover, he accepted Baili Na's life-saving feelings and said slowly: "I will cooperate.
Lao Baili collects information."
Chu Li smiled and said: "In my opinion, it is better to collect each one's own information and then summarize it for Elder Fan. Brother Lu and I have different sources of information, and we can compare each other to reduce fallacies."
"That's very good." Elder Fan nodded with satisfaction.
Song Zhifan waved his hand and said, "For the rest, just follow Elder Fan's instructions. If I leave seclusion, I will definitely notify you."
Chu Li and Lu Jun clasped their fists to leave.
Elder Fan said: "Let me tell you directly, Xiao Lu, you take Baili Na to Jingyan Mountain. You can use that place as your base. Be careful to hide your whereabouts so as not to be caught by Chu Li."
"Yes." The two of them clasped their fists and bowed, then exited the hall.
"Is there anything else you want to bring, Old Baili?" Lu Jun asked.
Chu Li shook his head.
"Then let's go directly." Lu Jun said.
The two floated down the floating mountain, talking as they walked.
"Jingyan Mountain is our stronghold outside Fukong Mountain, a very hidden place." Lu Jun said: "But we still have to be careful, it is only five hundred miles away from Chongming City."
"Five hundred miles..." Chu Li frowned and said, "It's a bit close."
Five hundred miles is a long distance for ordinary people. It takes a long time to ride in a car and it takes less than a month to walk. However, it is nothing to a martial arts master. It does not take long to perform Qinggong.
Lu Jun sighed: "It's too far away. How can we collect news about Chu Li?"
Chu Li nodded slowly and said, "I don't want to stay there. Let's separate and find another place where only the two of us know where to meet, and then send the news back to Fukong Mountain."
"...You can't trust Jingyan Mountain?" Lu Jun frowned.
Chu Li said: "It's not that I can't trust it, but I'm afraid that if I get caught, I'll be asked about it and implicate too many people."
"...That's true." Lu Jun nodded.
After the two walked for a day, they decided on a meeting place. They would meet every ten days, summarize the information and send it to Fukong Mountain. After that, the two separated.
Chu Li suddenly returned to his own small courtyard in the Duke's Mansion, sat at the stone table and pondered.
Li Meng was chanting sutras under the Tianling tree and turned a deaf ear to his appearance. Xue Ling had already appeared and just offered him a cup of tea without disturbing him.
Chu Li sighed and took a sip of tea.
The plan did not change as quickly as it did. Who would have thought that he would be sent out, disrupting his wishful thinking, and his idea of provoking civil strife in Floating Sky Mountain would be shattered.
More importantly, Song Zhifan was also very smart. After breaking his illusion, he knew that there was no other way to obtain the Sky-Slaying Sword, so he took a safe path. This time he suppressed the opposition and wanted to provoke
Civil strife is also unlikely, the only option is to wait and act.
Judging from Song Zhifan's appearance, it was obvious that he was confident of restraining the God-killing Sword. By that time, he would be in trouble.
He felt a sense of urgency. He had to practice quickly and ascend to the gods as soon as possible to improve his strength. Unfortunately, he could not find the Heaven-Killing Technique. If he could master the Heaven-Killing Technique, it would not be difficult to deal with Song Zhifan.
He had used the Great Round Mirror to spy on the news about the Heaven-Slaying Secret. When Song Zhifan was in trouble, it was a pity that there was an invisible force in his mind that blocked the news about the Heaven-Slaying Secret, and he could not pry out it.
He knew that he should not explore further, otherwise his life would be in danger, and he would not be able to break through that layer of wrapping. He didn't know if he could use the God-killing Sword to avoid that layer of protection and get a glimpse of the Heaven-Slaying Art.
He took another sip of tea and suppressed all the distracting thoughts. The only solution now was to practice the Tiger Control Technique.
The next moment, he put down the tea cup, disappeared suddenly, and appeared in the back garden of Prince An's Mansion.
It was already a bright morning, Xiao Qi was reading in the back garden, and Xiao Shi was practicing swordplay. The entire back garden was bathed in the bright sunshine, calm and peaceful.
Seeing him appear, Xiao Qi put down her book and smiled. Xiao Shi glanced at him and continued practicing swordplay, ignoring him.
Chu Li said hello to her, picked up Xiao Qi's slim waist and returned to his small courtyard.
Xiao Qi blushed and shook her head, but did not refuse. The two of them quickly went to the bedroom and got on the bed. Chu Li pressed forward and was about to enter the alley when he suddenly stopped, his face ugly.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Qi was lying on her back with her bright eyes closed, her hair was like dark clouds, her jade face was crimson, and she was extremely bright. She opened her watery bright eyes and looked at Chu Li in confusion.
Chu Li smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed: "It's bitter."
"Huh?" Xiao Qi became more and more confused.
Chu Li sighed: "It seems like I'm going to lose my temper today."
"What's going on?" Xiao Qi stretched out her snowy arm and touched his shoulder.
Chu Li turned over and said: "There is a ball of Suzaku's vitality in my body that cannot be driven away..."
There is always a flame of a red bird burning in his body, but he has the immortal body of Vajra. He has no choice but to not extinguish it. It seems to be endless and can burn for a year, ten years or a hundred years.
Once he merges with Xiao Qi, this flame will be transmitted into Xiao Qi's body.
Xiao Qi has now mastered the Taishang Sword Sutra, but her physical strength is far from being able to withstand the Suzaku flames. If the two of them cooperate, it will harm her, so he can only forcefully stop it.
After he told the story, Xiao Qi pursed her lips and smiled softly: "That's nothing, this energy doesn't matter, right?"
Chu Li shook his head: "It's okay for the time being. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise, but now I have no choice but to endure it."
"It's good to be a blessing in disguise." Xiao Qi said with a smile: "By the way, the situation in Shendu has changed again."
Chu Li looked at her curiously.
Xiao Qi flicked her hair, revealing her graceful and slender neck: "The prince is strong again."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows and nodded thoughtfully.
It seems that not only the power of the gods has greatly increased, but also the prince.
Xiao Qi said: "The Secret Guard Mansion has appointed a new leader."
"Which one?" Chu Li said.
"Meng Xiaoqi." Xiao Qi shook his head and said: "It seems like a character who suddenly jumped out of the stone. I have never heard of him. He has no reputation at all, and he suddenly became the commander of the secret guard."
Chu Li frowned and thought: "The emperor's people, or the prince's people?"
"It should be the prince's." Xiao Qi said: "I have been inquiring about this person, but this person is too mysterious, and I have found nothing. I only know that he came from the prince's residence."
