After Su Ru left, Xiao Qi and Xiao Shi hurried over. They were dressed in white gowns and had a faint fragrance.
"The people from the Sword Moon Sect are here?" Xiao Shi frowned.
Chu Li nodded.
Xiao Qi asked, "Why are the disciples from the Sword Moon Sect here?"
"Nothing good!" Xiao Shi scoffed.
"Cao Xian is dead. They suspect that I killed him." Chu Li smiled. "They want me to go to the Sword Moon Sect to defend myself."
Xiao Qi stared at him. "You killed him, didn't you?"
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
Xiao Qi sighed.
Xiao Shi smiled. "I should've killed him! But now that we've been discovered, what should we do? "
Chu Li replied, "I didn't give myself away."
"The Sword Moon Sect is very capable. We can't underestimate them." Xiao Qi frowned. "I'm just afraid that they won't care if you're the murderer or not. They'll vent their anger on you."
"Then I'll run." Chu Li smiled.
He said it so casually as if the Sword Moon Sect was not a dangerous place.
The two ladies were not fooled by his casual tone. They frowned and stared at him. They knew how powerful he was.
Chu Li shook his head and smiled. "Unfortunately, they can't run away."
He was not afraid of the Sword Moon Sect. If he could not defeat them, he could run. However, if they attacked King An's Imperial Residence and the Yi Public House, he would not be able to do anything. No matter how strong he was, he could not protect every place.
He was not too worried about King An's Imperial Residence. The Sword Moon Sect's top-notch masters would not dare to come. The Fairy's Capital was guarded by Enlightened Masters. The Yi Public House was far away. If they were to be dealt with, he would not be able to protect them.
Xiao Shi scoffed. "Don't be silly. If you can't defeat them, run. As long as you run, they won't dare to do anything!"
Xiao Qi nodded. "They won't dare to do anything because they have reservations. If you can't escape, they might just take care of the High Duke's Public House and King An's Imperial Residence."
Chu Li smiled. "Don't worry, the sky won't fall!"
He felt a wave of depression that was difficult to dispel, and he was abnormally sullen.
'Enlightened Master, I must become an Enlightened Master as soon as possible. If I can't become an Enlightened Master, I won't be able to live freely.'
His mind was boiling. He focused all his willpower on the path of becoming an Enlightened Master. He must obtain the Dragon Taming Technique!
His heart was in turmoil, but he still smiled calmly on the surface, "If it really doesn't work, we still have the Hundred Thousand Mountains!"
"That's true." Siao Shi smiled and said, "Going to the Hundred-Thousand Mountain is not bad, there's no trouble from the mortal world."
Chu Li shook his head and laughed.
Xiao Qi stepped forward and held Chu Li's hand. She said softly, "Don't be too hard on yourself. If you want to fight, just fight."
She knew Chu Li's character very well. He was soft on the outside but tough on the inside. He seemed modest but he was arrogant and could not tolerate anyone offending him. He might seem to be a servant in the High Duke's Public House and the Imperial Residence, but he was above everyone else and had great authority. However, when he came to the Sword Moon Sect, he became the one being bullied. How could he stand it?
She did not want Chu Li to endure the humiliation and compromise.
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
He suddenly frowned. "Is there a new guard in the prince's mansion?"
Xiao Qi and Xiao Shi looked at each other and shook their heads. They usually did not care so much.
Chu Li said, "There are two new faces. They're disciples of the Holy Church of Light."
"The Holy Church of Light?" The two women frowned.
Chu Li scoffed. "It seems like the Holy Church of Light has heard about me."
It seemed like Sun Mingyue heard about him and wanted to know if he was dead or not.
However, he was not worried. After the last empowerment, she would not suspect him anymore.
Xiao Shi frowned. "Why don't we just keep them?"
Chu Li shook his head. "They're too dangerous. We'll find an excuse to chase them out of the residence. They should understand."
Although the disciples of the Holy Church of Light were domineering in the Li Dynasty, they would not risk their lives. The disciples who came to the Ji Dynasty were usually fugitives. They were prepared to sacrifice themselves for the Great Light Surpassing State.
"Okay." Xiao Shi said, "We'll chase them out tomorrow."
—
Early in the morning, Chu Li left King An's Imperial Residence under the bright sun. He left Fairy's Capital and headed toward the Fu Dynasty.
After walking for a hundred miles, he stopped beside a forest and turned his head.
Lu Yurong was already standing on the treetop. She wore a white veil that covered her face. Only her watery eyes were exposed. They were full of colors when she looked around.
When Lu Yurong saw him looking over, she floated down and landed in front of him. "Are you really going to the Sword Moon Sect?"
Chu Li nodded. "I have to go. The situation is pressing."
Lu Yurong frowned and did not say anything.
Chu Li looked at her and did not say anything.
"Sigh …" Lu Yurong sighed. "The Ji Dynasty and the Fu Dynasty are indeed pressing."
"If it were you, Miss Lu, what would you do?"
"I won't go."
Chu Li smiled and nodded. He closed fist saluted and turned to leave.
Lu Yurong quickly said, "The Sword Moon Sect is extreme. This trip bodes ill for you."
Chu Li said, "I'll have to try."
"They won't give you a chance to explain. They'll kill you right away." Lu Yurong scoffed. "This is how they do things. They send people to their deaths to show off their power."
Chu Li frowned.
His mind was always on Goddess Attraction Mountain, Stargazing Pavilion, and the Church of the Divine Blood. Although the Sword Moon Sect was strong, they only had one encounter. He did not get entangled with them and did not know them well.
"That's why you better be prepared for a massacre," Lu Yurong said. "In my opinion, we don't have to care about them. If they dare to come, we'll just kill them. It's easier in our territory."
Chu Li smiled. "All the more reason to go and take a look!"
He had God's Limbs and the Divine Void Light Technique. Even if there were treasures to restrain him, he still had Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture to counter him. Therefore, he was not worried about not being able to escape. Since he could escape, it did not matter where he was.
He felt a sense of heroism. So what if it was the Sword Moon Sect? He had to charge in and destroy their power!
Lu Yurong furrowed her brows and stared into his eyes. She saw that his gaze was clear and he was in high spirits. She sighed and said, "Although your martial arts is strong and you can do whatever you want in the Ji Dynasty, that is the Fu Dynasty."
"So what if it's the Fu Dynasty!" Chu Li shook his head. "I'd like to see what the Sword Moon Sect is capable of!"
"… Alright." Lu Yurong sighed. "Be careful. I don't want to lose you as an opponent!"
"Don't worry." Chu Li closed fist saluted and strode away. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from Lu Yurong's sight.
Lu Yurong frowned and pondered. In the end, she shook her head and sighed.
Chu Li used his Light-body Technique to travel quickly. Along the way, he began to integrate the martial arts he had learned.
His sword technique was almost integrated. He was ready to integrate his fist technique and palm technique into one. It could be a fist, a palm, or a claw. He could change it at will, regardless of the technique.
He had learned many things. Sometimes, he would even forget which antique study to use in a battle. There were too many choices. Learning too many things would be useless. Only by integrating them into one could one be considered his own skill.
Three days later, in the morning, he arrived at the foot of the Sword Moon Peak of the Fu Dynasty's Sword Moon Sect.
The Sword Moon Peak was a strangely shaped mountain. At first glance, it looked like a crescent moon. Under the sun, it looked like a scimitar.
When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, two young men in purple robes were guarding the mountain gate. When they saw Chu Li, they stepped forward to block his way and looked at him calmly.
Chu Li told them his name. The two men looked at him and shook their heads. One of them went to report while the other closed his eyes and stood still. He could not be bothered with Chu Li.
