Chu Li looked at their doubtful eyes and smiled before he suddenly released his aura.
The three of them felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on them. Their bodies sank involuntarily and they wanted to kneel on the ground as they were out of breath.
Chu Li suddenly retracted his aura.
The eyes of the three of them were filled with bewilderment.
"Young Zhao, you've been hiding your martial arts?" Elder Su was shocked.
Chu Li nodded with a smile. "Of course, I have to restrain myself."
"This …" Elder Su shook his head and smiled bitterly. "We've lived our lives in vain. How did you cultivate such martial arts?"
They could not imagine how Chu Li cultivated. No matter how powerful a heart technique was, it required time to cultivate and could not be achieved overnight. Even with immortal pills and spirit medicine, one's cultivation level could not be increased by too much or his body would not be able to withstand it.
Chu Li said, "I obtained a few wonderful heart techniques and combined them. When I was sent to Yinyang Cave as a punishment, it was a blessing in disguise as I absorbed the energy of Yinyang Cave. After I went into isolated cultivation, I realized something and improved my cultivation level greatly."
Elder Su and Elder Ren were still in disbelief.
They had worked hard and their aptitude was already rare. They had cultivated for their entire lives to reach this level, but a young man had surpassed them.
They felt upset at this thought as jealousy and helplessness surged within them.
Chu Li glanced at them and said, "My martial arts level is nothing compared to the Saint!"
He was not pretending to be humble. The stronger one's martial arts level was, the more one could sense how powerful and unpredictable Sun Mingyue was.
Chu Li's current cultivation level was already extremely strong, and there were very few Grandmasters who could match up to him. Initially, he thought that he could already defeat Sun Mingyue, but when he faced Sun Mingyue, he realized that he was still far from her. The depth of Sun Mingyue's cultivation level was far beyond his imagination.
"The Saint …" Elder Su and Elder Ren shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
They could not help but feel helpless when they thought about the Saint. They could not even feel jealous. She was indeed God's favored one that no one could compare to.
"We really can't compare to the Saint." Elder Su shook his head. "But I think you're almost the same as the Saint, Young Zhao."
Chu Li replied, "I'm far from the Saint."
"The Saintess is indeed a once-in-a-thousand-years genius," Elder Ren said.
Chu Li turned to look at Sun Yucheng. "From what I know, the Saint is a princess, right?"
"Of course, Ninth Sister is a princess," Sun Yucheng replied lazily.
Chu Li said, "But it seems to me that the Saint doesn't like being a princess."
Sun Yucheng shook his head. "These are Ninth Elder Sister's personal matters, so I dare not say much."
Chu Li asked, "Is it related to the Emperor?"
"You've heard of it?" Sun Yucheng looked at him in surprise. This was a secret of the imperial family, and outsiders would never know about it.
Chu Li read the secret in his mind and shook his head with a smile. "Everyone's quite curious about the Saint's background. She's obviously of noble birth, so why did she have to endure so much hardship to learn martial arts and even become a Saint?"
"Ninth Sister's background is a little special," Sun Yucheng said.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
Sun Yucheng said, "Forget it, let's not talk about it."
"Yes, yes. It's not good for us to know these things." Elder Su nodded hurriedly.
Chu Li read Sun Yucheng's thoughts. Sun Mingyue was born of a concubine and was the Emperor's illegitimate daughter outside the palace. Therefore, she had never entered the palace and was not accepted by the imperial family. After Sun Mingyue's mother passed away, the Emperor took her in and raised her in the palace.
Even if Chu Li did not read anything else from Sun Yucheng's mind, he could guess that Sun Mingyue's life after entering the palace was not as smooth as it seemed.
Chu Li smiled. This was indeed a secret of the imperial family. No wonder Sun Mingyue's attitude toward Sun Yucheng was so subtle.
"By the way, Young Master, where are we going?" Chu Li asked.
Sun Yucheng replied, "I've obtained a secret clue from the imperial family's secret warehouse."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
Sun Yucheng said, "Two thousand years ago, there was a Heavenly King Palm who was said to be invincible. Do you know him?"
"Heavenly King Palm …" Chu Li pondered and nodded.
He searched his mind and remembered.
He read about this person in the book collection of King An's Imperial Residence. The Heavenly King Palm was indeed said to be invincible. It was said to be invincible and invincible.
Most importantly, he was an Enlightened Master.
At that time, the world had yet to change and the Spirit Beasts had yet to enter the Hundred-Thousand Hills. There were not just ten Enlightened Masters, but a hundred or two hundred. Martial arts were flourishing and he was invincible among the Enlightened Masters.
Chu Li frowned. "Young Master, did you find the inheritance of Heavenly King Palm?"
Sun Yucheng replied excitedly, "I heard that Heavenly King Palm lived in seclusion on Ascending Dragon Mountain. It's possible that he died there."
"It's been two thousand years. Young Master, can you still find it?" Elder Su chuckled. "If it's possible, everyone would've found it long ago."
"No, no." Sun Yucheng shook his head. "Not everyone knows about this. No one knows where Heavenly King Palm lived in seclusion. I read about it in a random note by a woodcutter."
"If we can find it, other people can find it too, right?" Elder Ren asked.
Sun Yucheng grinned. "We're here to gain experience anyway. Let's try our luck. Who knows, we might be lucky enough to find it. If we can't find it, we can just treat it as a distraction."
"That's true." Elder Su smiled.
Chu Li said, "Someone's following us."
Through his Omniscient Mirror, he saw that someone had followed them out of the city. However, they had fallen two hundred meters behind, so there was nothing unusual about it. Moreover, it was safe enough to not attract the attention of the people in front of them.
Chu Li suddenly had a plan for Sun Yucheng. If he could turn the Li Dynasty upside down with Sun Yucheng's help, it would be a great help to the Ji Dynasty.
The future of the Ji Dynasty belonged to Xu An, which was an enemy of the Li Dynasty.
If Chu Li wanted Sun Yucheng to listen to him, he would have to convince him. As a prince, Sun Yucheng had high standards, so ordinary skills would not be enough.
Therefore, Chu Li had to show off his skills and convince him.
"Someone's following us?" Sun Yucheng's expression changed.
Elder Su and Elder Ren's expressions changed too.
Chu Li said, "It's my intuition, but I trust it. It's saved me many times."
"It seems like you're very meticulous." Sun Yucheng sneered. "You're worried about me, so you sent someone to protect me!"
Chu Li smiled. "But there are only two of them."
Then, he said, "Elder Su, Elder Ren, let's give it a try."
"Alright." Elder Su agreed readily. "Let's take a detour."
Suddenly, they left the main road and ran toward a small path at the side.
The small path led to a mountain in the distance, and they had to pass through a forest.
It was not wise to run on such a small path at such a gloomy time.
Two horses appeared on the small path two hundred meters behind them. They looked into the distance hesitantly, but they had no choice but to follow them.
When they arrived at a forest, Elder Su, Elder Ren, and Sun Yucheng entered the forest and stood on a treetop to observe. Chu Li continued forward with the four horses.
Soon, they saw two horses rushing over.
