Early in the morning, Chu Li let go of the soft and fragrant Xiao Qi and got off the bed. With Xue Ling's help, he washed up and left the Public House. He went to the main street of Chong Ming Town and enjoyed the bustle of the morning.
It was early in the morning when Chong Ming Town was the busiest. People came and went, and the aroma of various snacks on the street mixed together, forming the unique morning smell of Chong Ming Town.
He had not been here for a long time. He had been busy and fighting non-stop. He could not calm down to experience daily life and enjoy the ordinary pleasures.
He strolled along the street, avoiding the running children, and slowly arrived at the best restaurant in Chong Ming Town – Sky Inn.
He sat at a table near the window and called for the waiter to serve breakfast. He placed two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table.
The waiter obviously recognized Chu Li. He greeted him respectfully and quickly served the food.
When Chu Li was halfway through his meal, unique footsteps could be heard. Fa Yuan floated over, his grey cowl fluttering in the wind. His handsome bald head shone brightly, reflecting his gaze. He had the demeanor of an eminent monk.
Chu Li looked at him. Fa Yuan's advancement was very fast, and his cultivation level had increased by a large margin.
He waved his hand and Fa Yuan came closer. He bowed with pressed palms. "Amitabha … Brother Chu."
"How was it? Did you find out?" Chu Li bowed and pointed opposite him.
Fa Yuan sat opposite him, picked up his chopsticks and started eating. It was a table full of vegetarian dishes.
Fa Yuan ate a mouthful of vegetables, put down his chopsticks and nodded. "I did not disappoint you. I found out."
Chu Li was excited. "Tell me, is there really a traitor?"
"There will be traitors in every faction, except for the Titanium Temple." Fa Yuan shook his head. "But why do you want to investigate him?"
"I'm curious. I also heard that this traitor seems to have taken some martial arts secret manuals from Green Deer Cliff, so I want to get them, "Chu Li said.
"Then I advise you to stop thinking about it." Fa Yuan smiled. "This traitor is an Enlightened Master."
"Enlightened Master?" Chu Li was surprised.
No wonder Green Deer Cliff kept it a secret and became a taboo. He was an Enlightened Master!
Fa Yuan smiled. "He was one of the last masters to become an Enlightened Master. From then on, the spirit beasts entered the Hundred-Thousand Hills, and no one was able to cultivate the spirit beast technique to become an Enlightened Master. The path to becoming an Enlightened Master was completely changed."
Chu Li frowned. "So, it was a thousand years ago?"
"Exactly." Fa Yuan nodded. "His surname is Zhu, and his full name is Zhu Lieyang. He has a stubborn temper, but he is brave and diligent. In the end, he became an Enlightened Master, but his whereabouts are unknown. As for the secret manual that you mentioned, I'm afraid it has completely disappeared."
"Not a single clue." Chu Li frowned. "Is it possible that he hid the secret manual?"
"Who knows." Fa Yuan shook his head and sighed. "These Enlightened Masters are unpredictable, how can we understand them? Perhaps it has already been destroyed. "
"Do you think he's still alive?" Chu Li asked.
"Of course. An Enlightened Master's lifespan is extremely long, but he's definitely not in this realm. He must have gone to the Outland," Fa Yuan said.
Chu Li frowned. "If that's the case, it's impossible to find him."
"Impossible." Fa Yuan shook his head. "Forget it."
Chu Li remained silent.
When Fa Yuan saw his expression, he knew that he had not given up, but there was nothing he could do.
"What other clues do you have about him?" Chu Li asked. "His usual behavior, temperament, and so on. Tell me everything about him."
Fa Yuan said, "This Zhu Lieyang is very stubborn and arrogant. He has offended many people, but in the end, he became an Enlightened Master. No one can do anything to him. I only know that he has always been a loner and has no friends."
Chu Li slowly nodded.
Fa Yuan sighed. "What secret manual did he steal?"
Chu Li said, "I think it's the Spirit Crane Technique."
"You want to cultivate the Spirit Crane Technique?" Fa Yuan was shocked. "The Spirit Crane Technique is not suitable for cultivation. The spiritual energy in this realm has dried up, and this type of Spirit Beast martial arts is no longer suitable for cultivation. The four elements are empty, and everything has its own life and death. The Spirit Beast martial arts are already perishable martial arts. Your current martial arts are a hundred times stronger than the Spirit Crane Technique."
Chu Li shook his head. "I'm just curious."
"Don't be too smart for your own good. Forget about the Spirit Crane Technique," Fa Yuan advised.
Chu Li said, "I still want to give it a try. If I can't secretly learn it from Green Deer Cliff, it's not a bad idea to look for this Enlightened Master."
"Mm, I'll keep an eye on it," Fa Yuan said.
Chu Li smiled. "Thank you, thank you."
The two of them chatted for a while more before Fa Yuan bid farewell and left in a carefree manner.

After Chu Li finished his meal, he went down the Sky Inn and slowly walked back along the main street.
When he was halfway there, four Grandmasters suddenly jumped out from the side and rushed straight at Chu Li. They were so fast that their faces could not be seen clearly. They were ruthless and wanted to take his life.
Chu Li frowned. Suddenly, a shadow appeared around him as if he had turned into a few people.
"Bam, bam, bam, bam …" With a series of muffled sounds, the four Grandmasters flew out. Two of them flew to the east while the other two flew to the west. They flew more than twenty meters away and landed heavily on the bluestone road, making a loud thud.
Chu Li then swung his hand and four streams of light shot into the Dantian of the four people.
"Ah!" They screamed in pain, without the restraint of Grandmasters.
They clutched their abdomens and stared at Chu Li.
Chu Li said, "If you use force in Chong Ming Town, your martial arts will be crippled and you will be expelled from the town. No exceptions!"
His voice was calm and unhurried, like the rising tide, spreading out slowly, without missing a single detail. In the end, his voice spread throughout the entire Chong Ming Town, showing off his amazing inner energy cultivation. Everyone who heard it was amazed.
Chu Li continued, "Protectors of the House of High Dukes, throw them out of the town!"
"Yes!" Someone shouted from afar.
There were many Protectors of the House of High Dukes patrolling the main street. They all recognized Chu Li. When they heard his words, they quickly ran forward and picked up the four people on the ground and ran away. They even covered their mouths.
Chu Li nodded in approval.
It was obvious that these Protectors knew who these four people were.
Chu Li continued to walk forward. People made way for him and greeted him. Chu Li nodded at them one by one.
Chu Li was known to everyone in Chong Ming Town. Even if they had never met him, they would know his name. Chu Li of the North and Du Feng of the South. After Du Feng assassinated King An and escaped from the hands of the Emperor, he disappeared without a trace. Du Feng became even more famous. Chu Li and Du Feng were equally famous.
Everyone in Chong Ming Town was proud of Chu Li and they talked about him enthusiastically. Whenever Chu Li made any movements or news, they would hear about it. Everyone gathered together and discussed it.
Chu Li became the Head Chief of the Imperial Residence of King An and offended the Emperor. He was sent to the Imperial Mausoleum and then returned to the Fairy's Capital. This series of events was extremely legendary in their eyes and they loved to talk about it.
Chu Li slowly walked back to the House of High Dukes. Xiao Qi was practicing her swordsmanship in the garden of the Jade Guardian Island.
Chu Li stood at the side and watched. Xiao Qi's swordsmanship was elegant and very charming. He watched it as if it was a dance.
After a while, Xiao Qi put away her sword. Her graceful body was full of energy and her face was stunning.
Chu Li smiled. "Don't worry about the people from the Secret Guardians Hall."
