The three of them chatted and laughed happily. There was no sign of scheming at all.
Lady Yu Xue secretly sighed in relief. Fortunately, they were starting to listen to their conversation. It was better for her to avoid their previous conversation as she could easily get herself killed. It was really dangerous.
The three of them drank and chatted until midnight before dispersing.
During this time, Lu Guangdi did not say a word. He only sat at the side and did not even touch the snacks as if he was invisible.
The three of them ignored him as if they did not see him.
Yi Public House
Early in the morning, the bright sun shone on the Yi Public House.
The surface of the vast lake was shrouded in mist like a veil. The martial arts field in the Public House was in full swing and the courtyards were busy.
Chu Li sat quietly in the main hall of the Public House and looked at the three Ning brothers.
The three of them lowered their heads and looked solemn. They were not in high spirits.
They understood that they were betrayed by the commander and were extremely angry.
Although they did not listen to Gu Yu, they were still secret guardians. No matter what, Gu Yu was the commander. How could he use someone else to do his dirty work? It was too cruel. Their loyalty to the Secret Guardians Hall was greatly reduced.
"Look at you guys. You're so dejected!" Chu Li looked at them and shook his head. "Didn't you guys expect this?"
Ning Boyuan sighed. "Centurion, who would have thought that the commander would be so heartless!"
"He's always been like this." Chu Li shook his head. "Now that you guys have given up, what are your plans?"
"We can't go back to the Secret Guardians Hall." Ning Boyuan sighed. "We can only wander the world!"
If they returned to the Secret Guardians Hall, they would be locked up and interrogated. They would be asked how they escaped from the Tempest Temple. It was impossible to escape after being caught by the Tempest Temple unless there was something fishy and they surrendered to the temple.
Therefore, not only would they not be heroes if they returned, they would be treated as traitors. Even if they clenched their teeth, they would never be able to make a comeback. It was better not to return.
Chu Li laughed. "You're still playing tricks on me! … Are you guys willing to stay in the Yi Public House? "
"Of course we are!" Ning Boyuan nodded. "Thank you for taking us in, Centurion!"
Chu Li said, "Think about it carefully. Once you step into the High Duke's Public House, you'll never be able to return to the Secret Guardians Hall. Even if I return to the Secret Guardians Hall, you won't be able to return either!"
"Of course we're willing to not be secret guardians!" Ning Boyuan quickly said, "But the Emperor …"
He was worried about the Emperor. Once a secret guardian, always a secret guardian. Once the Emperor knew that the three of them had entered the Yi Public House, he was afraid that it would cause a lot of trouble. Not only would the three of them be executed, but it would also implicate the Public House and even the centurion.
Chu Li said, "Don't worry, no one will discover you. Have you cultivated the Bone Shrinkage Skill that I gave you?"
"Yes." The three of them nodded.
They were Grandmasters, so it would be easy for them to practice the Bone Shrinking Skill.
Chu Li nodded. "Use that to change your appearance. Who will recognize you from now on?"
"Yes." The three of them smiled.
They could change their appearance after using the Bone Shrinking Technique. Although it was a little awkward, it was fine as long as they didn't interact with other people and stayed in their own courtyards.
Chu Li said, "I'm still the chief of the Glory's Will Courtyard of the High Duke's Public House. You're considered to be part of the Glory's Will Courtyard."
"Yes." The three of them smiled brightly.
Compared to the Secret Guardians Hall, staying under Chu Li's command was the most comfortable. It was more exciting and satisfying.
Chu Li pondered. "The Glory's Will Courtyard's responsibility is to eliminate traitors, so it's a place that offends people. Don't even think about having a good relationship with the people of the Public House. Don't expect any friendliness."
"Yes." The three of them nodded seriously.
Chu Li said, "Other than the Public House, there will be other things for you to do. You must be mentally prepared to go to the Li Dynasty or even the Fu Dynasty."
"Yes." The three of them nodded.
Chu Li waved his hand. "Go, rest for a few days before you start."
The three of them quickly fist saluted. Xue Ling came in and took the three of them away. She was responsible for their accommodation and told them how to establish themselves in the Public House and familiarize themselves with the situation in the Public House.
—
Chu Li returned to King An's Imperial Residence and went to his courtyard to continue cultivating his swordsmanship.
Now that his Heavenly Demonic Power had reached its peak, it was almost difficult for him to progress further. Even after he swallowed Fu Qingya's Heavenly Demonic Orb, his Heavenly Demonic Field had only increased to a hundred meters, but there was no qualitative change in his Heavenly Demonic Power. It was extremely difficult to cultivate it to perfect mastery.
Moreover, he had no intention of perfecting the Heavenly Demonic Power. He still wanted to practice the Spirit Beast Technique so that he could defy nature and become a god. Once he perfected the Heavenly Demonic Power, he would immediately ascend to heaven and could not stay in this world. He still had nostalgia for this world.
After practicing his swordsmanship for a while, he suddenly disappeared in a flash and transformed into Zhe Ying's appearance before appearing in the Heavenly Demonic Sect.
In the main hall of the Heavenly Demon Sect, the four Grand Elders were meditating in front of the Heavenly Demon Statue. When they saw him suddenly appear, they all clasped their hands in greeting. He was now the Sect Leader, and his status was different from before.
Chu Li said, "Honorable Masters, have you found the Dragon Taming Technique?"
The four elders smiled bitterly.
Elder Du sighed. "Sect Leader, the Dragon Taming Art is the most difficult divine technique to obtain in this world."
Chu Li asked, "You didn't get it?"
The four elders shook their heads.
Chu Li frowned and pondered.
"Sect Master, why are you looking for the Art of Dragon Control?" Elder Li asked in a deep voice.
Chu Li said, "I have my uses for it! … Is there no other way? "
"Goddess Attraction Mountain isn't an ordinary sect." The four elders shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
Elder Bai chuckled. "Sect Leader, if it's any other martial arts, even if we can't obtain all of them, we'll still be able to obtain some superficial knowledge. For example, the Church of the Divine Blood's Bloody Garment Divine Power and the Great One Palace's Great One Technique are both at least one or two levels. However, Goddess Attraction Mountain is different. We can't impersonate Goddess Attraction Mountain's disciples at all. They almost never leave the mountain."
Chu Li scoffed. "That means we can't get it!"
"… Yes." The four elders nodded helplessly.
Chu Li said, "I don't believe that there's a heart technique that Heavenly Demonic Sect can't get their hands on! … Give me detailed information about Goddess Attraction Mountain. I'll do it myself. "
"Sect Leader, you mustn't." The four elders hurriedly shook their heads.
Chu Li frowned as he looked at them.
Elder Du said, "Goddess Attraction Mountain can't be provoked. They're existences that can communicate with the Grandmasters. They'll be able to sense anyone who cultivates the Dragon Taming Technique immediately and come after us."
"Hmm …?" Chu Li was surprised.
Elder Du said, "This isn't just a rumor. It's true. They can sense anyone who cultivates the Dragon Taming Technique. There are only a few people in the world who cultivate the Dragon Taming Technique, so they know it very well."
Chu Li said impatiently, "Then why didn't you say so earlier?!"
He believed them because the Heavenly Demonic Disaster could do the same thing. With the help of the Heavenly Demonic Stone, they could sense any disciple who cultivated the Heavenly Demonic Power in the world.
"Hehe …" The four elders felt slightly awkward.
Elder Du said, "We thought you were just mentioning it casually, Sect Leader."
Chu Li said impatiently, "I'm really going to cultivate it!"
"Forget it then." Elder Du shook his head. "Cultivating the Dragon Taming Technique is really suicidal."
"Are they more difficult to deal with than Enlightened Masters?" Chu Li scoffed. "We have the Heavenly Demon Statue. Why should we be afraid of them?"
"It's different." Elder Du frowned. "Every time we use the Heavenly Demon Statue, our vitality is greatly damaged and we need to rest for a while. They might not retreat after one attack, and they might not be easier to deal with than Enlightened Masters!"
"In that case, I have no hope of cultivating the Dragon Taming Technique," Chu Li said.
