Sun Yucheng asked, "Miss Liu, where's the Vast Cold Palace?"
"Ascending Dragon Mountain," Liu Di answered with a smile.
Sun Yucheng was stunned and turned to look at Elder Su.
Elder Su and Elder Ren were stunned too as they did not expect such a coincidence.
Liu Di noticed their strange expressions and smiled. "Young Master Sun, what can I do for you?"
"No, no." Sun Yucheng quickly waved his hand. "I didn't expect the Vast Cold Palace to be at Ascending Dragon Mountain."
"Not many people know where the Vast Cold Palace is." Liu Di smiled. "Young Master Sun saved our lives, so we're being honest."
"Ascending Dragon Mountain is great …" Sun Yucheng grinned. "Ascending Dragon Mountain is a great place."
"Pfft!" The other three women spat out blood again and sat limply on the ground.
Liu Di looked at them helplessly.
"Elder Su." Sun Yucheng turned around.
"Yes." Elder Su gave a fist salute.
Liu Di said, "We're fine. We can continue our journey after resting for a while."
"There's no rush. Let's heal first," Sun Yucheng quickly said.
Elder Su approached the three women to check on their injuries.
Although they were weak, they were still wary and looked at him warily. He took out a porcelain bottle, poured out a pill, and put it in his mouth before closing his eyes to channel.
Elder Su stopped awkwardly and floated back behind Sun Yucheng.
Liu Di apologized, "Elder Su, please don't blame us. We're very wary of men."
"Hehe …" Elder Su shook his head and laughed.
Sun Yucheng quickly waved his hand. "It's fine, it's fine."
Liu Di nodded apologetically and changed the topic. "Where are you going, Young Master Sun?"
"Oh, Ascending Dragon Mountain."
"Hmm … Ascending Dragon Mountain?"
Sun Yucheng said, "I heard that Ascending Dragon Mountain has beautiful scenery, and we've always wanted to visit it. I didn't expect the Vast Cold Palace to be at Ascending Dragon Mountain too. What a coincidence!"
Liu Di flashed a charming smile.
She thought that Sun Yucheng said that on purpose to take care of them.
The three women sat on the ground and channeled for a while. they got up one after another after the medicine dissolved. Their faces regained some color and were no longer as pale as before.
"Let's go!" Everyone brought along the Profound Pavilion's steeds and galloped away.
In the evening of the next day they rested in a wood and made a bonfire.
The bonfire burned brightly as Chu Li and the other three men sat across from the four women. The light from the fire illuminated their faces.
Chu Li sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to observe his surroundings.
On the other hand, Sun Yucheng chatted with Liu Di about the Zheng Dynasty's anecdotes and local customs.
Although Liu Di was young, she had a lot of experience. She spoke tirelessly and her voice was gentle and pleasant to the ear. Sun Yucheng was mesmerized by her words, and he kept praising her.
The other three women looked at Chu Li curiously.
They were very curious about Chu Li.
A person with this level of cultivation shouldn't be willing to risk his life for others. Even the Palace Lord wasn't this powerful, so why would he be loyal to others?
Chu Li suddenly opened his eyes. "The people from Mysterious Pavilion are here!"
The women's faces changed.
Sun Yucheng asked, "Again?"
This Profound Secrets Pavilion really had some ability, to be able to catch up so quickly.
Chu Li nodded. "I'll deal with them!"
"Can you do it alone?" Sun Yucheng quickly asked, "Why don't we go over and help?"
Chu Li shook his head. "No need."
"… Alright." Sun Yucheng was completely convinced by Chu Li's martial arts.
Chu Li gave a fist salute and glided away.
As she watched him leave, Liu Di said, "Young Master Sun, who exactly is this Young Master Zhao? He's so powerful, so he shouldn't be a nobody!"
Chu Li's martial arts were like an awl in a cloth bag. It couldn't be hidden even if he wanted to, so he must be famous.
Sun Yucheng smiled. "He's not famous."
"That's strange." Liu Di smiled. "But Young Master Sun, it's really impressive that you're able to recruit such a top-notch master!"
Sun Yucheng's smile widened.
Liu Di said, "Let's go and take a look. After all, Young Master Zhao is alone."
"Alright." Sun Yucheng nodded.
The more powerful Zhao Dahe was, the more majestic he felt. He was proud of himself, and it was a wonderful feeling.
They chased after Chu Li. After walking for two miles, they saw Chu Li standing on an empty ground. There were twenty men in black clothes lying around him, and they were all motionless on the ground. The smell of blood filled their nostrils.
"Brother Zhao!" Sun Yucheng called out.
Chu Li turned around and nodded.
Sun Yucheng and the others approached them and sized up the people lying on the ground.
Liu Di's pretty face was solemn. Her bright eyes scanned these people from head to toe to discern their abilities. She was secretly relieved that there were ten Grandmasters among them. If the four of them had traveled alone, they would not have been able to survive.
Sun Yucheng said, "Mysterious Pavilion sent so many people!"
Elder Su looked at Liu Di. "Miss Liu, why are they chasing after us?"
"We killed a detestable Mysterious Pavilion Protector and got ourselves into such big trouble. We regret not listening to the Palace Leader and sticking our noses into other people's business!" Liu Di said.
Elder Su nodded slowly and sighed. "This feud is getting worse."
Mysterious Pavilion had been chasing after them since they killed a Mysterious Pavilion Protector. Now that Zhao Dahe had killed so many people, Mysterious Pavilion would definitely go all out to hunt him down. The next time they went after him, it would definitely be a violent and dangerous one.
Elder Su asked, "Miss Liu, how far are we from Ascending Dragon Mountain?"
Liu Di answered, "It'll take another three days."
"Three days …" Elder Su looked at Sun Yucheng. "Young Master, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape the next time they come after us."
News from Mysterious Pavilion traveled fast. He would probably catch up to them tomorrow.
Liu Di frowned. "Why don't we use our Light-body Technique to travel?"
Chu Li said, "There's no need for that. Let them come!"
"Young Zhao, Sir Mysterious Pavilion must be sending top-notch masters this time!" Elder Su quickly said, "You mustn't be careless."
Chu Li said, "I was just looking forward to seeing the masters from Mysterious Pavilion … Both of you, please come out!"
His last words echoed far and wide.
Two figures fluttered down from the treetops.
Elder Su, Elder Ren, and the others' expressions changed. They could not detect them from such a distance. Their cultivation levels must be much higher than theirs!
The two figures were elderly men with white beards and eyebrows. One of them was tall while the other was short. They looked ordinary but had sharp eyes.
They glanced at the twenty people on the ground and shook their heads. Then, they stared at Chu Li with a fearful expression.
The short elderly man asked, "Who are you, Your Excellency?"
They did not expect Chu Li to act so quickly. If they were in his shoes, they would not have been able to kill twenty masters so quickly. Thus, they were hesitating about whether to come out but were exposed by Chu Li.
Chu Li said, "I'm just a person from the mountains. Does Mysterious Pavilion really want to pester me?"
The two elderly men said, "If you join Mysterious Pavilion, we'll forget about this incident. You won't have to be hunted by Mysterious Pavilion anymore. Otherwise, Mysterious Pavilion won't stop until you're dead!"
Chu Li shook his head. "That's impossible. Let's do it."
"If that's the case, let's see who's more powerful!" The two elderly men scoffed. They used a swift footwork and suddenly charged toward Liu Di and the other three women.
Chu Li suddenly appeared in front of Liu Di and shot out two beams of cold light with a wave of his hand.
The two elderly men had been on guard against his flying blades. When they saw a black shadow flash in front of them, they quickly tilted their bodies to avoid it. However, they did not expect another two beams of cold light to come at them.
They wanted to avoid it, but they were powerless to do so. They could only watch helplessly as the flying blades pierced their chests.
