"I just heard that you and little sister have really become husband and wife." Xiao Shi furrowed her brows and glared at him in dissatisfaction. "Don't tell me you want her to become a widow as soon as she gets married?"
Chu Li shook his head and laughed. "I'm confident that I won't die."
"Stop boasting!" Siao Shi pouted her red lips, "In today's world, who dares to say that they can escape the pursuit of an Enlightened Master?"
"I've put in so much effort to prepare so that I can fight for a chance of survival." Chu Li nodded confidently. "I've been attacked by an Enlightened Master before, so I know how to defend myself. Don't worry, I'm also someone who cherishes my life, and I can't bear to lose her."
"You're a bastard!" Xiao Shi scoffed. "How dare you make Little Sis so worried!"
Chu Li glanced at Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi stared at him.
Chu Li sighed. "We'll have to kill King An sooner or later. We'll kill King An when the Emperor doesn't suspect anything. That way, we won't be able to get rid of him in the future, which will bring us endless trouble. When the time comes for us to go against the Emperor, who knows how many people will die!"
Xiao Shi frowned and remained silent.
She knew that what Chu Li said made sense, but no one could predict what would happen in the future. For all she knew, King An might not even need Chu Li to kill him. He might even harm himself. Judging from his current state, there must be something wrong with him. He was like a balloon that could burst at any time.
Chu Li could tell what she was thinking and said, "I won't pin my hopes on others. If I can solve it myself, then I will!"
"Ah …" Siao Shi sighed and shook her head helplessly at Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi asked, "When are you going to make your move?"
"We'll make our move tomorrow," Chu Li said. "All of you should return to the Public House first."
"Alright," Siao Qi said.

The night was hazy. King An sat in his study room, his face as gloomy as water. The study room was brightly lit, but it was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
Zheng Lide's voice could be heard from outside. "Your Highness, two guards from the Imperial House are here to see you."
"Invite him in quickly!" King An stood up abruptly.
Zheng Lide said, "Yes."
Prince An stood up to welcome him. Two elders with white eyebrows and beards, one fat and one skinny, had already entered. They closed fist saluted, "Greetings, Your Royal Highness."
"Seniors, you don't have to be so polite!" King An hurriedly said.
The two of them cupped their fists casually.
Prince An extended his hand in invitation.
The fat old man chuckled and said, "We have come under the Emperor's orders to serve as your Highness' personal guards."
"Thank you, Seniors!" Prince An's smile was so warm that it was like a spring breeze. "I'll leave my safety in your hands!"
"Don't worry, Your Highness." The thin old man replied in a muffled voice.
The fat old man smiled and said, "Does His Highness have an enemy, so he called us over?"
They were the internal guards of the Imperial House, the top-notch experts that almost never left the Imperial House. With more than three hundred years of cultivation, they rarely had a worthy opponent below the Enlightened Master level.
They were originally Inner Mausoleum Protectors and were free and unfettered in the Imperial House. The Emperor was an Enlightened Master. They only had to protect the Empress and the concubines. Those powerhouses who had broken into the Imperial House to assassinate the Emperor would not bother to assassinate the Empress and the Imperial Concubines.
Coming to King An's Imperial Residence was considered a tough job as it disturbed their cultivation.
However, they couldn't refuse the emperor's orders.
Prince An forced a smile. "I'm not really an enemy. I just feel uneasy, so I asked the two seniors to come over to calm me down and suppress my evil aura."
He didn't want to say that Chu Li was his enemy. Otherwise, his incompetence would spread all over the world, and he would no longer have a chance to fight for the throne.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. We'll protect you from the side." The fat old man smiled.
"Thank you, seniors." Prince An solemnly closed fist saluted.
Only then did he let out a sigh of relief, and his mind finally calmed down.
Ever since he met Chu Li, he had been deeply worried. He could feel Chu Li's killing intent.
Chu Li could have crippled his martial arts, but he didn't do it. Such an unusual action showed that he really wanted to kill him.
As a prince, if Prince An wanted to kill him, he would have to bear the wrath of the Emperor. However, it seemed like Chu Li planned to die together with him and drag him to hell with him.
With this worry, he asked the Emperor for help and hired two internal guards of the Imperial House as Protectors.
The Emperor readily agreed to this request. Because the internal guards of the Imperial House were only loyal to the Emperor, they would report every move of the prince they were protecting. Therefore, the princes rarely hired the internal guards of the Imperial House.
If Prince An wasn't worried, he wouldn't have hired these two guards.
With these two guards, he could finally have a good night's sleep.
He returned to his bedroom and just fell asleep when he suddenly felt something strange. When he opened his eyes, he realized that he wasn't in his bedroom, but on top of a mountain.
A bright moon hung in the sky, its moonlight like water.
A handsome young man stood in front of him, smiling at him.
"You …" Prince An opened his mouth.
With a flash of a blade, his vision went black. His head flew up and blood spurted out like a pillar.

Chu Li transformed into Du Feng and appeared in Prince An's Imperial Residence.
Because Prince An had a rare treasure that could suppress divine powers, he couldn't use the All-Seeing Divine Technique or God's Limbs.
His Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture could break through the suppression of these rare treasures, but it could only break through the suppression of the rare treasures around him. It couldn't break through the other side that was far away.
After he appeared in Prince An's Imperial Residence, the rare treasures around Prince An lost their effects, and he could freely use divine powers.
He instantly appeared next to Prince An and pulled him away. When he appeared on top of a towering mountain in the Li Dynasty, he beheaded Prince An.
The two Imperial House Internal Guards couldn't react in time. They didn't expect divine powers to appear under the suppression of a rare treasure. By the time they reacted, Prince An was already gone.
After Chu Li beheaded him, he activated God's Limbs and was about to leave.
"Damn it!" An angry roar seemed to come from the distant void like rolling thunder. It sounded far away at first, but in an instant, it resounded in the world. A vast and boundless energy descended from the sky and froze him. The space around him was locked, and he couldn't move at all.
Chu Li activated his Heavenly Demonic Power to its maximum and activated the Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique.
A figure suddenly appeared in front of him, and a hand was already on his chest. It was too fast for him to react.
"Bang!" The Heavenly Demonic Orb instantly appeared in front of Chu Li's chest to devour the palm energy. At the same time, he struck his opponent's chest with his palm. He had used the Enlightened Master's energy that had been devoured by the Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique.
"Bang!" Both of them flew backward at the same time. He flew straight out of the mountain and flew in the air before he landed in the dense evergreen pine forest.
His vision darkened as if he was about to disappear from the world and turn into ashes.
From the corner of his eye, he noticed that the Emperor had been sent flying as well.
The Buddha and the Heavenly Demon in the void of his mind chanted with all their might. The halo at the back of the Buddha's head shone brightly. The Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture moved at an unprecedented speed to resist this destructive will.
With the help of the Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture, the force that bound him loosened. He disappeared in a flash and appeared in the Fu Dynasty's Jian An.
When he suddenly appeared in a small courtyard in Jian An, he immediately lay prone in the courtyard and vomited blood.
Not only did he vomit blood, but he also vomited chunks of flesh. His internal organs were all shattered. The Heavenly Demonic Orb failed to devour the Enlightened Master's energy. Instead, it was crushed by the Enlightened Master's energy, and his internal organs were shattered as well.
