Monk Yuan Kong smiled and pressed his palms together as he chanted, "Namo Amitabha — —!"
Before he finished chanting, he had already pushed his palm out.
Chu Li's vigor shook violently. The chant was like a thunderclap in his ears. Every word was like a clap of thunder, causing his vigor to fluctuate uncontrollably. It was a secret skill similar to Lion's Roar.
Chu Li was familiar with this secret skill but he did not expect the seemingly inflexible monk Yuan Kong to have such a trick. He used the Sumeru Palm as a cover and used Lion's Roar to launch a surprise attack.
"Bang!" Just as he circulated Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture and regained his spirit, the fan-like palm had already reached his chest. His body shot backward and broke through the wall to land in another courtyard.
Spiritual Qi surged towards him from all directions. The Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture circulated with all its might to neutralize the palm force. However, this palm force was extremely domineering, and the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture could not convert it. It could only allow it to rampage about and continuously damage his internal organs.
Chu Li took a deep breath and switched to the Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique.
The extremely refined palm energy was instantly devoured and he immediately recovered the Divine Light Technique. He could switch between the Heavenly Demonic Power and the Divine Light Technique easily.
Monk Yuan Kong frowned as he looked at Chu Li.
As a Buddhist disciple, he was very sensitive to the Heavenly Demonic Power. Chu Li had only used the Heavenly Demonic Power for a moment but Monk Yuan Kong could not tell for sure. He did not expect Chu Li to use the Heavenly Demonic Power either.
Chu Li took a deep breath and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "You can't judge a book by its cover. What a good Yuan Kong!"
The Divine Light Fist struck from afar, one punch after another, forming a densely packed field of fists. Every shadow was a fist.
Both of them were more than ten steps away from each other but the fist energy was not weakened at all. Monk Yuan Kong faced the attack with the Sumeru Palm and dispersed the fist shadows. Since he could not use the Sumeru Palm anymore, he could only face the attack with a normal palm technique.
Chu Li had already figured out his background. The Sumeru Palm was powerful and could not be restrained but it needed to be charged before it could be used. Since Chu Li did not allow him to charge, the Sumeru Palm was constantly suppressed. A normal palm technique could not defeat Chu Li.
One of them threw a punch, while the other threw a palm. "Bang! Bang!" The sounds of punching rang out incessantly. In one breath, they had thrown out more than a hundred punches.
Chu Li was extremely resilient and his inner energy seemed to be endless. Even when he was injured, he was not affected at all. Yuan Kong's inner energy was thick and pure, but without the Sumeru Palm, he could not kill Chu Li in one hit.
When the fists came, he met them with his palms. When the palms left, he met them with his fists. The two of them had been fighting for almost a thousand moves. Monk Yuan Kong's face was slightly pale as his inner energy was running out. He initially thought that with his profound cultivation level, he would be able to outlast Chu Li, but in the end, Chu Li's face was still glowing with health and vigor. The more he fought, the more energetic he became. On the other hand, his inner energy was running out and he could not hold on any longer.
He shook his head and turned to leave, turning into a shadow and disappearing into the distance.
Chu Li let out a sigh of relief as he did not give chase.
Yuan Kong was the top expert of their generation. Since he couldn't suppress him, then the Reincarnation Temple wouldn't be able to cause any trouble in the near future. If their skills were not as good as Yuan Kong's, they might send an expert over a hundred years old to assassinate him.
But he was sure that the Reincarnation Temple would not dare to take this risk.
If they dared to send a master who was more than a hundred years old to assassinate him, the Holy Church of Light would definitely retaliate. Once they sent a master who was more than a hundred years old, it would hurt their vitality and it would be extremely risky.

When Chu Li woke up on the bed, his side was empty. The gentle and delicate Xiao Qi was no longer there. He lazily got up and leaned against the headboard. He was not in a hurry to cultivate. His heart had been tense in Falling Autumn City and he had been guarding against the Reincarnation Temple. Now, he could finally relax.
He was good at regulating his mind. His heart was like a string and could not be constantly tense. Only by relaxing and relaxing could he succeed. After messing around last night, he felt refreshed and lazy.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard. Su Ru's voice came from outside. "Chu Li, someone is here to see you."
Chu Li was stunned. "Who is it?"
"A disciple of the Sword Moon Sect," Su Ru replied.
Chu Li asked, "A disciple of the Sword Moon Sect is here to see me?"
He got up and pushed the door open. Su Ru was standing outside in an apricot gown. Her brows were furrowed and her beautiful face was solemn.
Chu Li said, "I'm going to see him. Did he make you angry?"
"He's extremely arrogant!" Su Ru scoffed.
Chu Li smiled. "It's inevitable that he's a disciple of the Sword Moon Sect."
He strode to the main hall of the Imperial Residence and saw a young man in purple sitting on a wooden armchair. He looked ordinary and did not attract attention in the crowd. He was drinking tea casually.
When he heard footsteps, he turned around and looked at Chu Li. He then turned to Su Ru.
Su Ru said coldly, "This is the Chu Li you're looking for."
Chu Li fist saluted. "I'm Chu Li. May I know what brings you here?"
The young man in purple slowly put down his teacup and fist saluted. "Very well, you're Chu Li. Report to the Sword Moon Sect in ten days."
Chu Li smiled. "Why do I have to go to the Sword Moon Sect?"
"You're related to Junior Brother Cao's death. You need to explain to the sect or you'll be the murderer!" The young man in purple said, "If you don't go, you'll have a guilty conscience!"
"Cao Xian?" Chu Li frowned. "He's dead?"
"It seems like you've seen Junior Brother Cao!" The young man in purple scoffed. "All the more reason to explain."
Chu Li laughed. "Explain that I didn't kill him?"
"Of course." The young man in purple nodded.
Chu Li said, "If I don't go, I'll be Cao Xian's murderer. The Sword Moon Sect will avenge him?"
"That's right." The young man in purple nodded proudly. "The disciples of the Sword Moon Sect won't die in vain. We'll avenge him, no matter who the murderer is!"
Chu Li said, "Where did Cao Xian die?"
"The Fu Dynasty." The young man in purple said.
Chu Li scoffed. "I'm doing well in the Ji Dynasty. Why would I go to the Fu Dynasty to kill someone!"
"You can say that in the torture chamber in the sect," the young man in purple said. "It's useless to say that to me. Here's the invitation!"
He took out a crimson invitation and tossed it on the table. He stood up. "It's up to you whether you want to go or not, but I'll give you a piece of advice. If you don't want to be treated as a murderer, you better go."
Chu Li frowned.
"Farewell!" The purple-clothed young man cupped his fists and bowed, then turned around and strode away.
Chu Li frowned as he looked at the young man's back.
Su Ru scoffed. "You're going to the Sword Moon Sect?"
Chu Li nodded and smiled. "How would I dare not go!"
"Hmph, arrogant and overbearing!" Su Ru sneered. "Outrageous!"
Chu Li said, "They've always been like this to the Ji Dynasty. There's no need to be angry."
Su Ru frowned. "Are you really going to the Sword Moon Sect? I'm afraid they won't even give you a chance to explain yourself and kill you! "
Chu Li smiled. "Then I'll run."
"How can I run after entering the Sword Moon Sect!" Su Ru shook her head.
Chu Li said, "I have to go and take a look. I want to see the Sword Moon Sect."
Su Ru frowned and did not say anything. She did not try to persuade him. She knew it was useless to say anything more. Chu Li would not change his mind.
