Chapter 1017: Arrival

He felt a sudden relief. From then on, he was no longer hesitant in going against the Holy Church of Light and he would no longer be caught in between them. He was quite reluctant to do so before as he had friends in the Holy Church of Light.
Henceforth, the Holy Church of Light was his enemy. There was no need to be polite.
His present task was to climb up the ranks as soon as possible to get on Sun Mingyue’s good side. With a changed temperament and coming establishment of merits, he should be stepping up the Altar Leader position to take part in classified secrets in no time. Only then would he be able to obtain more important information.
He currently did not possess the ability to disintegrate the Holy Church of Light. Yet if he wanted to, he could only do so by penetrating deeper with a higher position. After all, a sect of several thousand years would not be easily defeated.
The best way to handle this was to go straight to the Saint. It was a pity that Sun Mingyue was so much more powerful which rendered him no match for her at his current state.
At this thought, he was filled with motivation to make a name for himself in Sharp Vigor Battalion.
“Hehe...” Qin Huaichuan shook his head. “It seems like Junior Sister Sun and the rest are afraid of you, so you did kill Altar Leader Mo.”
Chu Li said, “Aren’t you afraid, Senior Brother Qin?”
“I know you won’t kill for no reason,” Qin Huaichuan answered. “Everyone knows about the grudge between you and Altar Leader Mo. But no one knew it would come to this.”
Everyone thought Zhao Dahe would get the worst of it. Who knew Zhao Dahe would end up killing Altar Leader Mo? Although it was a rare sight of an inferior killing a superior, it had left them a sense of pride.
However high their heads may be, Zhao Dahe, this jinx should still be avoided.
Chu Li replied, “You should go now!”
“Let’s have a drink when you leave Sharp Vigor Battalion!”
“Sure,” Chu Li retorted.
He found Qin Huaichuan interesting — someone worth sparing a few brain cells on.
With that, Qin Huaichuan and Meng Luo left to grab their meals before they sat on another table.
Alone once again, Chu Li buried his head in his food.
After his meal, he returned to Spirit Medicine Nursery where he came face to face with Zhou Huang.
The short and stout body stood in Chu Li’s way as he looked at him from head to toe.
Chu Li smiled. “Elder Zhou, I’ll be leaving!”
“You’re going to die!” Zhou Huang snorted. “You sure have the guts to kill Mo Qianjun! Pulling through Yinyang Cave and now Sharp Vigor Battalion, it’s going to be extremely hard!”
He could not help but shake his head as he commented.
Chu Li answered, “If I can survive Yinyang Cave, let alone Sharp Vigor Battalion?”
“You need the ability to survive Yinyang Cave, but you’ll need luck with Sharp Vigor Battalion!” Zhou Huang snorted. “If you’re down on luck and you receive a dangerous military order, you won’t be able to survive no matter how good you are. Your skills are nothing against an army!”
“That’s not necessarily true.” Chu Li shook his head.
“Sigh... You don’t know the capabilities of an army because you’ve never seen one,” Zhou Huang said. “Remember not to stick your neck out. It’s okay to remain in the background!”
Chu Li smiled. “Don’t worry, Elder Zhou, I have great luck.”
“Hmph, it’s your luck if you die!” Zhou Huang said frustratingly. “Who has luck on the battlefield? Anyway, you have some drugs in your house. Take them with you!”
“Thank you, Elder Zhou.” Chu Li motioned a fist salute.
He had seen dozens of jade bottles sitting on his table. They were medicines for treatment as well as enhancement of inner energy.
He took out a parcel and wrapped these medicines along with him. He then sat on the bed with his legs crossed to inspect his cultivation level.
This advancement in cultivation was not just on Zhao Dahe’s Divine Light Technique but on Chu Li’s Cloud Slashing Power as well. His huge advancement was due to the reinforcement in his Meridian which, in turn, had contributed to purer inner energy. His broadening and enforced Dantian was able to contain more inner energy.
He let out a smile. This freak combination of misfortune did result in some good.
However, to surpass Sun Mingyue, he still had a long way to go; he had to improve himself.
He disappeared from the house and appeared inside a residence in the Adjacent Town.
Xiao Qi was quietly sitting on a bed in the west room. Suddenly, she turned her face and opened her bright eyes.
Chu Li pushed open the door and walked out, so did Xiao Qi. The two came to a pavilion in the courtyard.
“It’s been a month!” Xiao Qi listlessly said, “Did you meet with trouble there?”
Chu Li shook his head and gave a bitter smile. He walked Xiao Qi through the whole affair.
Xiao Qi frowned and shook her head. “Why did you have to do so?”
“It won’t be right for what Senior Sister Li had done for me.” Chu Li sighed. “It’s a shame she died!”
“She has entered the Great Light Surpassing State, so she’s not really dead,” Xiao Qi answered. “As long as she didn’t vanish up in smokes, there’ll be a day when you’ll meet again.”
Chu Li burst into laughter. “I can’t enter into Great Light Surpassing State, so how can we meet again?”
“That might not be true. You can step into Great Light Surpassing State if you’re able to cultivate the Great Light Scripture to its Ultimate state,” Xiao Qi remarked. “Then, you’ll be able to meet them!”
Chu Li chuckled. She may look calm and without envy, but he knew she was jealous.
Xiao Qi responded, “Are you going to join Sharp Vigor Battalion?”
“I must join.” Chu Li nodded. “I’m not willing to let go at this stage. I must get to a higher position.”
“Okay, there’s nothing much going on here but I will keep an eye out. If anything happens, I’ll crush the Sarira or jade pendant,” Xiao Qi replied dully.
Chu Li smiled.
A night quickly passed. It was the morning of the second day when he arrived at Divine Light Basilica. A young lady in green was waiting there. Upon noticing him, she waved her arm. “Junior Brother Zhao, please come in. The Saint has been waiting.”
Chu Li greeted with a fist salute before he took slow strides into the basilica.
Sun Mingyue was sat behind a desk. Dressed in white and with a veil over her face that revealed only her beautiful eyes, she observed him. “You’ll depart today. Someone will escort you there.”
Chu Li motioned a fist salute.
“Do you have anything to say?”
“I have nothing to say.”
“Great, please don’t go beyond your bounds once you’re there.”
“Yes.” Chu Li smiled with a fist salute. “Don’t worry, Saint. I’m no longer the Zhao Dahe I used to be.”
“I hope you really did change.” Sun Mingyue nodded. “Someone? Please summon Patrol Liu over.”
“Yes,” the young lady outside answered.
A brief moment later, Liu Yunxin came over and greeted in fist salute. “Saint.”
“Take him to the Soaring Eagle Cavalry’s Sharp Vigor Battalion.”
“Yes.”
At the wave of Sun Mingyue’s arm, the two silently retreated.
As they left Divine Light Basilica, Liu Yunxin pursed her lips into a smile at Chu Li. “Junior Brother Zhao, you have quite the courage for killing Altar Leader Mo. But in order to do so, you must be really skillful.”
“Senior Sister Liu, you flatter me.” Chu Li smiled as he motioned a fist salute.
Recovering to his original personality, he carried himself in a natural manner and spoke his mind. There was a sense of casualness to it.
“Let’s make our move. We should hurry there before the Saint blames us for it.” Liu Yunxin smiled.
Chu Li gestured another fist salute.
The duo traveled day and night at extreme speed. By the evening two days later, they arrived at Falling Autumn City.
Soaring Eagle Cavalry was situated within Falling Autumn City and the military encampment was Northeast of the city.
The military encampment was filled with buildings after buildings that were different from the surrounding structures. At first glance, one could tell that it was the military encampment as the entrance was so wide that it could allow four horse-carriages to pass through side by side.
Four armed soldiers with gleaming eyes stood tall at the wide entrance, emitting an air of wrathfulness.
Chu Li’s Omniscient Mirror swept through the military encampment and detected the heavy murderous intent. This Soaring Eagle Cavalry was a real army that spilled blood.
