Seven.
Deadman's Blade was neither deaf nor stupid, he could certainly tell that these were Seven Jade Gourds. The number seven was rather magical, after all, the Heavenly Pass that his wife wanted to challenge was also comprised of seven levels.
So...
Could it be that Zhou Li was one of their own?!
At this moment, Deadman's Blade's mind was already reeling with shockwaves, unable to believe that Zhou Li, whom he had recently crossed blades with, could actually be an ally. Because the news was so stunning, for a moment, Deadman's Blade did not even think to doubt it.
It was like when you're late and you say it's because of traffic, the other person might suspect something.
But if you said you had an accident in your pants on the way to work and had to go home to change, then they would have to believe you to a certain extent. After all, such a thing was simply too shocking to not believe.
