Chu Li and Li Ruolan held their breaths, not moving an inch.

The elder’s looks were so concrete that they felt chills down their spines, forcing them to just remain still.

Li Ruolan could not help but want to look up. However, Chu Li pulled her sleeves as he noticed her intention, and stopped her from doing so.

He placed his right palm in front of her eyes to block her view.

The elder was shockingly powerful. If one were to lay their eyes on him, he could probably sense it, which would instantly attract his attention.

Surprised by the action, Li Ruolan knew that she was being too careless. Thus, she quickly nodded, then shut her eyes to indicate that she understood.

She was well aware of the sharp sense of a top-notch master, such that one could easily sense another person’s look.

After the elder scanned the forest with his shining eyes several times, he finally turned to look elsewhere.

Li Ruolan dared not stare right at him, thus she looked through the corner of her eyes. Seeing as he finally looked away, she sighed a long breath of relief, and immediately felt relaxed.

On the other hand, Chu Li shook his head, and still placed his finger on his mouth to signal her to remain silent.

Li Ruolan nodded her head lightly.

The two of them sat still like rocks as they waited for the elder to leave.

Once the Thin Elder was done looking over the area from the top of the precipice, he instructed, “There’s moonlight tonight, but we can’t be careless. They might break out tonight, light the fire sticks below!”

“Yes!” The four middle-aged men responded respectfully.

“Master’s Junior Liu.” One middle-aged man did a fist salute before continuing, “Could they have gone elsewhere?”

The middle-aged man was short and small, but he had attractive features. His eyes were glimmering, making him look high-spirited.

“No.” Thin Elder shook his head.

The middle-aged man then added, “If it was me, knowing that someone else is going to encircle me, I’ll definitely do the opposite by heading toward the south, and live in seclusion for a while. Once we retreat, they’ll surely return north. Won’t they be able to escape unscathed then?”

“Exactly.” The other three middle-aged men nodded as they agreed with him.

The Thin Elder looked at all four of them before shaking his head.

Upon seeing that, the middle-aged man quickly asked, “Master’s Junior Liu, what do you think?”

“You’re thinking from the Hai Cang Mountain’s perspective.” The Thin Elder returned the question, “What if it’s the Reincarnation Temple? If the monks from the Reincarnation Temple encountered the same situation, would they act like what you say?”

“The Reincarnation Temple…” The four men furrowed their brows.

Thin Elder scoffed. “Lil Guo, tell me. If it’s the monks from the Reincarnation Temple, what will they do?”

“Those fellas are extremely haughty!” The middle-aged man sneered. “They’ll surely go head-on with us, and will never back away. They’ll force their way through!”

“If that’s what the monks from the Reincarnation Temple will do, what about the disciples from the Holy Church of Light?” Thin Elder shook his head. “These sects think in special ways, and act in unique styles. Despite that, there’s something common about them: their arrogance. It’s inevitable for the monks from the Reincarnation Temple to be like that, but how are the disciples from the Holy Church of Light different from then?”

“Understood!” The four men nodded.

Thin Elder humphed. “Even if they know that we’ll set an ambush, the two disciples from the Holy Chuch of Light will still force their way out instead of hiding to the south. So, they’ll definitely pass this area tonight or tomorrow night. Be attentive, don’t make any mistakes!”

“Yes!” The men did fist salutes and responded together.

Later, the Thin Elder added, “The man’s Light Blade is extremely overbearing. He turned Zhao Haiyun’s brain into a paste, so much so that he couldn’t be revived even after consuming spirit pills. If the two of them escaped successfully, Hai Cang Mountain would be humiliated! If that happened, the disciples of Hai Cang Mountain can forget about staying in the Qiu Dynasty’s martial arts world!”

“Yes!” Instantly, the four men were spirited, filled to the brim with killing intents.

They must kill the two persons from the Holy Church of Light to avenge Junior Brother Zhao’s death. At the same time, it was also to prove to everyone else that even the number one sect from the Li Dynasty would have to die for killing a disciple from Hai Cang Mountain!

Subsequently, the four men leaped down, spiraling like goshawks to the bottom of the canyon. Soon enough, they ignited fires, lighting the small paths beneath the canyon. Additionally, more than ten fire sticks were placed on the walls.

The whole entrance to the canyon was brightly lit. By just standing on the precipice, they could get a good view of the place, such that nobody was able to sneak past them.

Upon seeing this, Chu Li frowned.

Through the Omniscient Mirror, he saw twelve other masters hiding in the canyon. They were of equal cultivation levels as the four middle-aged men. Each of them was almost like Li Ruolan. If they were to surround them, he could certainly escape, but Li Ruolan might not be able to.

Clearly, they could not sneak their way out soundlessly.

All of a sudden, the Thin Elder jumped down, and charged toward the forest in which Chu Li and Li Ruolan were at before roaring, “Where are you hiding!”

Li Ruolan remained still and looked at Chu Li.

She had learned her lesson to always listen to Zhao Dahe. Zhao Dahe was a genius who not only stood out in self-cultivation but also in battles. As if he was born to be a general, he could always counter situations in the best way.

In just a few months’ training, he became more powerful than Li Ruolan who had trained for over ten years. This meant that he was gifted.

Chu Li pressed the back of Li Ruolan’s head and laid prone with her to the roots. As if turned to stone, they did not move at all.

Since they were dressed in black, as bright as the moonlight may be, it would not shine to the roots of the trees. Even if one were to look through the dark like it was daytime, one could not differentiate them from the trees and stone around them.

“Boom…” A tree that was two feet away from them was hit, causing its branches to squeak before slowly falling down. Fortunately, it missed them.

The elder swept past them with his electric eyes.

When that happened, Li Ruolan’s heart was about to fall out as she was immensely nervous.

Nevertheless, when her heart was beating very slowly, she performed a concealing technique where her heartbeat was even slower than a hibernating animal. After a long while, her heart beat lightly. However, it was so insignificant compared to the insect sounds around them.

As for Chu Li, he circulated the Life and Death Scripture, with which he became one with the trees around him.

Once again, the cold looks from the elder’s eyes swept past them. At last, the elder fluttered up and away to the precipice.

“Master’s Junior Liu, did you really see them?”

“No.” The Thin Elder shook his head. “It’s just a feeling, they’re in that forest!”

He pointed at the woods where Chu Li was at and said in a firm tone.

“That’ll be easy!” The middle-aged man who spoke earlier commented, “Even if the forest is huge, the four of us can just set a net over it, they won’t be able to escape!”

“… That sounds good.” The Thin Elder reminded, “It’s impossible to guard against the Light Blade, you must be careful!”

“We’ll avoid it!” The four men responded at the same time.

When they thought about Zhao Haiyun’s death, they began to feel tense.

‘Zhao Haiyun still got killed even though he wore treasured clothing, his cultivation level is not inferior to ours at all!

‘But we have Master’s Junior Liu with us now, we’re not afraid of them. Besides, they might not show themselves anyway, or they’ll die for sure!’

“Let’s go!” The four men looked at each other, then fluttered down the cliff. Positioned ten meters away from each other, they formed a net as they headed toward the forest slowly.
