"Slap!" The crisp sound of the slap attracted everyone's attention.
The protectors and onlookers widened their eyes as they stared at Chu Li in disbelief.
They never thought that Chu Li would dare to slap a prince in the face, not to mention in front of so many people.
Chu Li took a step back and stared at Sun Yujing, whose eyes were bloodshot and body was trembling as he glared at him. "Keep your mouth shut. If you're rude again, don't blame me for being merciless. It won't be a slap next time!"
"Ah —!" Sun Yujing roared into the sky and charged at Chu Li in a frenzy. "Kill this ugly bastard!"
Chu Li went forward and slapped him again.
"Slap!" With a crisp sound, Sun Yujing was sent flying and spat out a mouthful of blood in the air. Three teeth came out from the blood.
Chu Li easily dodged the Protectors who were charging at him and raised his voice. "Prince, shall we enter the city?"
"Let's enter the city!" Sun Yucheng shouted excitedly.
Chu Li suddenly shot out two energy blades.
The two elders who were attacking Elder Su and Elder Ren immediately retreated to avoid the energy blades.
Elder Su and Elder Ren took the opportunity to retreat from the battle and went to Sun Yucheng's side to protect him as they rushed toward the city gate.
After Sun Yujing fell to the ground, the protectors dared not chase after Chu Li and the others. Instead, they surrounded Sun Yujing as they were afraid that something bad would happen to him.
The four of them rushed into the city and rushed back to the Twelfth Prince's Residence before they could finally relax.
"Haha …" Sun Yucheng stood in front of the Twelfth Prince's Residence and laughed.
Chu Li shook his head and smiled.
Sun Yucheng turned to look at Chu Li. "Good! That was great! Brother Zhao, you had a good time! "
Elder Su and Elder Ren looked at Chu Li strangely and shook their heads with smiles.
They would not dare to do that even if they were given a thousand guts. Not only did it require powerful martial arts, but it also required great courage. It was outrageous and beyond their imagination, so they could not do it.
Although a prince could not be lawless and run amok in this world, he was still the Emperor's son. The prince could only be taught a lesson by the Emperor and no one else could hit him.
This concept was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Chu Li's two slaps today were not because he was powerful but because he had broken the invisible shackles.
Chu Li smiled. "Prince, won't the Emperor punish me?"
"He was rude first, and he wasn't hurt." Sun Yucheng laughed and shook his head. "He won't have the guts to complain to Father. Besides, Father won't care about him because he'll think that he's incompetent!"
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
He could tell that Sun Yucheng was delighted, but he could also guess that Sun Yucheng would start to mutter to himself after a while. It was inevitable that Sun Yucheng would feel sad for his own kind.
After all, his actions had broken the customs of the world. It was disgraceful. If everyone followed his example, then these princes would not have an easy time.
"Come, let's enter the residence!" Sun Yucheng laughed heartily. "We're going to drink to our heart's content today. We won't leave until we're drunk!"
Chu Li shook his head. "Your Highness, I shall take my leave now."
"Hmm?" Sun Yucheng looked at him in surprise.
Chu Li said, "My task has been completed. I need to report back to the mountain."
"Brother Zhao, rest here for a night," Sun Yucheng said. "I still have to thank you, Brother Zhao."
Chu Li shook his head and smiled. "The Saint will reward you. You don't have to spend money, Your Highness. I shall take my leave now!"
He gave a fist salute and was about to leave.
Sun Yucheng quickly said, "Wait!"
Chu Li turned to look at him.
Sun Yucheng hesitated for a while before he asked, "How can I contact you, Brother Zhao?"
Chu Li smiled. "After I return to the mountain, I'll continue to be the Branch Leader of Gale Branch. You can look for me in Gale City."
Sun Yucheng smiled. "Let's keep in touch."
Chu Li smiled and gave a fist salute before he disappeared.
Sun Yucheng shook his head and sighed as he looked in the direction where he disappeared. "It's a pity that I can't use such a person!"
"Your Highness, you can ask the Saint for him." Elder Su smiled. "I think the Saint is very nice to you."
"Ninth Elder Sister won't participate in the Battle of the Princes." Sun Yucheng shook his head. "She won't ask her subordinates to help me. She made an exception this time because I'm going to Zheng Dynasty, but she won't be so lucky next time."
"We've gone through trials and tribulations with Young Zhao. We'll be more confident when we ask him for help," Elder Su said. "Everyone has a weakness. Young Zhao is young, so it'll be easier to make friends with him."
"I hope so …" Sun Yucheng sighed. "Along the way, I noticed that he doesn't have any weaknesses. He doesn't seem to be interested in women or money."
Elder Ren said, "Maybe he likes martial arts secret manuals."
"What secret manuals doesn't Great Light Peak have?" Sun Yucheng asked.
"Great Light Peak doesn't have many secret manuals from the palace's secret vault, right?" Elder Ren asked.
Sun Yucheng hesitated before he nodded slowly.
The secret manuals from the palace's secret vault could not be leaked to outsiders, but they could not care less during critical times like this. No one would know even if they passed it to Zhao Dahe.
"Think of a way to rope him in no matter what," Sun Yucheng said.
Elder Su and Elder Ren nodded slowly.
One Zhao Dahe was equivalent to a hundred Grandmasters. This was not a lie, especially when they encountered top-notch masters. No matter how many ordinary masters there were, they would not be able to defeat one Zhao Dahe.

Great Light Peak's Divine Light Basilica
In the brightly lit basilica, Chu Li stood motionless and looked straight ahead.
Sun Mingyue, who was dressed in a white tunic and had her face covered with a white veil, paced back and forth with her hands behind her back. From time to time, she would turn to glare at him and sneer. "How impressive!"
Her loose white tunic could not conceal her graceful figure, and there was a unique rhythm to her gait that made her look elegant and pleasant.
Chu Li looked at her without saying a word.
Sun Mingyue scoffed. "You're really impressive to hit a prince just like that!"
Chu Li said, "Can't I hit a prince?"
"Don't you know the delicate relationship between the Holy Church and the Imperial Family!" Sun Mingyue scoffed. "You're only thinking about showing off and venting your anger. Do you know how much trouble you've caused!"
Chu Li said, "He humiliated me like that. If I don't slap him twice, the entire Holy Church will become a laughing stock. I'm not an ordinary disciple of the Holy Church, I'm a Branch Leader. How can I allow him to humiliate me like that?"
"You …" Sun Mingyue frowned and stared at him, but she was speechless.
She also knew that from Chu Li's point of view, it was reasonable to slap the Sixth Prince twice to show the Holy Church's prestige. However, from the perspective of a middleman, one would think that the Holy Church of Light was bold and arrogant.
From the perspective of the Imperial Family, it was even more disgraceful. The Holy Church did not respect the Imperial Family at all.
Chu Li said, "Saint, no matter how you punish me, I'll still slap him twice the next time I encounter such a situation. He deserves a beating just because he's a prince!"
"Shut up!" Sun Mingyue scoffed.
Chu Li curled his lips and said nothing.
Sun Mingyue glared at him. "Zhao Dahe, I'll feel uncomfortable if you don't cause me trouble for a day!"
Chu Li did not say a word, but he showed an unconvinced expression.
"Forget it, forget it!" Sun Mingyue returned to the armchair behind the table and scoffed. "No matter what, you've done a great service by protecting the Twelfth Prince this time. Your position as Branch Leader will be restored."
Chu Li smiled.
