The relationship between the Church of the Divine Blood and the Ultimate Temple was tense, but there was no blood feud between them. Therefore, as the Grand Supreme Elder, he would not kill Zhou Haodong to avoid angering the Ultimate Temple.
If the Grand Supreme Elder killed a younger disciple, the Ultimate Temple would also send a Grand Supreme Elder to kill a younger disciple of the Church of the Divine Blood.
Wei WuWei was already dead. If other young disciples were to die, the Church of the Divine Blood would be greatly weakened. Their opponents would definitely hit them when they were down, and they might not be able to recover.
This was a serious matter, so he dared not act recklessly.
Zhou Haodong asked, "Senior, why don't you spare this lady?"
"What's your relationship with her?"
"Friends."
"You're from the Fu Dynasty, and she's from the Ji Dynasty's Yi Public House. How can you be friends?"
Zhou Haodong smiled. "I like the Ji Dynasty, and I like to come here to play."
"… No, this lady is very important. You can't spare her." Bao Fang shook his head. "For your sake, I'll give her a quick death and stop torturing her!"
"Senior!" Zhou Haodong frowned.
Bao Fang scoffed. "Stop?? Get together? Biscuit? Forcefully? Oppose?
"Senior, why must you kill this lady?" Zhou Haodong smiled. "Is she Chu Li's woman?"
The person that the Church of the Divine Blood hated the most was Chu Li. The most talented disciple in the history of the Church of the Divine Blood, Wei WuWei, was expected to become an Enlightened Master and revive the Church, but he died in Chu Li's hands.
"Yes!" Bao Fang nodded slowly.
Zhou Haodong looked at the silent Xiao Qi in surprise. Her beautiful face made his heart beat faster, and he liked her more every time he looked at her. Imagining her under his body, he suddenly felt his whole body burning up.
He did not know Xiao Qi's identity when he appeared to save Xiao Qi because of her beauty.
He did not expect her to be Chu Li's woman!
After killing Wei WuWei, Chu Li became famous in the Fu Dynasty. Almost everyone knew about him and they were curious about what kind of person he was.
He came to the Ji Dynasty to see if Chu Li was lucky to kill Wei WuWei. He could not believe that there was someone younger than Wei WuWei who had a higher cultivation level. Moreover, this person was from the Ji Dynasty, which was in the wilderness.
If he found out that Chu Li was lucky, he would kill him and his reputation would increase. He would be the top youth person and have a chance of becoming an Enlightened Master.
"You little brat, you're trying to cheat me." Bao Fang said coldly, "Move aside right now, or don't blame this old man for being impolite. This old man's patience is extremely limited!"
He shouted and swung his sword again.
"Ding …" Zhou Haodong blocked the sword.
Bao Fang gloomily stared at him and continued to swing his sword.
"Ding, ding, ding, ding …" The two of them exchanged twenty-six blows in an instant. Zhou Haodong was at a disadvantage, but he was still able to hold on. He wouldn't be defeated anytime soon.
Bao Fang's anger surged, and his killing intent surged.
Although he couldn't kill this brat, it wouldn't be a problem to make him lie in bed for a month.
The other three purple-robed middle-aged men glared at Zhou Haodong with gloomy expressions.
Seeing was believing. They had all heard of Zhou Haodong's reputation. It was far inferior to Wei Wuwei, but now it seemed that he wasn't that weak. He was only slightly weaker than Wei Wuwei. He was indeed worthy of the title of a genius.
No one in the younger generation of the Divine Blood Church could compare to them. Even if they were to go back a generation, they would still be inferior.
"Ding, ding, ding, ding …" Bao Fang's fighting spirit was aroused, and his attacks were like a mountain torrent, pressuring Zhou Haodong to the point where he could not breathe.
Zhou Haodong's arm was already numb. He didn't expect this master from the Divine Blood Church to be so difficult to deal with.
His confidence was greatly damaged. After this Isolated Cultivation, his swordsmanship and cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, so he was full of confidence and ambition when he came to the Ji Dynasty to kill Chu Li. He didn't expect to meet an ordinary master from the Divine Blood Church who was so powerful.
"Grand Supreme Elder, forget it!" The yellow-faced man in the purple robe hurriedly said, "Spare him, and spare Xiao Qi!"
"Hmm …?" Bao Fang turned to look at him.
The yellow-faced man in the purple robe coughed twice. There was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, and he eagerly said, "Give the Ultimate Temple some face."
"Give the Ultimate Temple some face?" Bao Fang muttered.
"I'm sure Young Zhou will return the favor in the future?" The yellow-faced man in the purple robe smiled.
"Of course!" Zhou Haodong gave a fist salute and smiled.
He let out a long sigh of relief. If they continued fighting, he would be exposed. He almost couldn't hold his sword, and one more move and he would lose his grip.
"… Alright." Bao Fang scoffed. "Let's go!"
He glared at Xiao Qi and turned to leave.
The other two men in purple robes helped their companion up and fluttered away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Phew …" Zhou Haodong let out a long sigh of relief and smiled. "Miss Xiao, are you alright?"
"Thank you for saving me, Young Master!" Xiao Qi gave a fist salute and slowly stood up.
She walked in front of the three of them and slapped Zheng Jiali. Blood flowed from the corner of her mouth again.
"My Lady …" Zheng Jiali released his acupuncture point and gave a fist salute in shame. He was speechless.
Xiao Qi weakly waved her hand.
Zheng Jiali opened Liu Kuang and Zheng Xueli's acupuncture points.
Xiao Qi waved her hand. "Hurry up and go back."
Liu Kuang hurriedly said, "My Lady, let's go back."
Zhou Haodong smiled. "Miss Xiao's injury is very serious, let me help treat it."
Liu Kuang frowned and looked at Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi said, "Young Master Zhou's life-saving grace can only be repaid in the future. I won't invite you to the High Duke's Public House for now. It's a troubled time now, and the High Duke's Public House is a mess. I'll invite you to the Public House as a guest in the future."
"I've always wanted to see what the High Duke's Public House looks like. It's alright." Zhou Haodong smiled.
Xiao Qi said, "I'll invite you again after some time. Why don't you stay in Chong Ming Town for a while first?"
"Very well," Zhou Haodong chuckled and said, "You don't have to be so polite, Miss Xiao. It's not like I saved your life, it's just a small matter. I'll take a walk around Chong Ming Town. “
"Alright, then we'll take our leave!" Siao Qi said.
As the four of them walked back, Liu Kuang said in a low voice: "Miss, that fellow surnamed Zhou is not a good person. His eyes are shining with a shifty light. You have to be careful."
He knew that Zhou Haodong had saved his life, but he still hated him, especially when he looked at Xiao Qi like that.
Xiao Qi glanced at him without saying a word.
When Liu Kuang saw that Xiao Qi did not care, he said anxiously, "He must be up to no good!"
"Xiao Liu, shut up!" Zheng Jiali said, "After all, he saved us! “
Liu Kuang shut his mouth resentfully, he was still unconvinced.
After they returned to the High Duke's Public House, Xiao Qi left and the three of them gathered together.
Liu Kuang was unconvinced. "Uncle Zheng, am I wrong? That fellow surnamed Zhou is not a good person. Look at how he looks at Miss, it's like he wants to swallow her whole. He's definitely a pervert!"
"You don't know what kind of person Miss Xiao is. You can see it, but can't Miss Xiao see it?" Zheng Jiali said impatiently. "You're not as smart as Miss Xiao, so it's better for you to keep your mouth shut. You just want to see the world in chaos, don't tell anyone about this!"
"Why?" Liu Kuang was confused.
Zheng Xueli said, "If Chief finds out, he'll be unhappy."
"I see …" Liu Kuang suddenly understood and immediately smiled. "Xue Li is really smart!"
Zheng Xueli rolled her eyes at him.
Zheng Jiali said in a low voice, "Xue Li, you're not allowed to leave the Public House!"
"Understood." Zheng Xueli nodded.
She initially thought that no one would care about a maid, she did not expect the Church of the Divine Blood to be so despicable.
Xiao Qi sat in the Stargazing Tower to recuperate. Suru continuously sent her news about Zhou Haodong, including where he went, who he met, who he talked to, and what he ate.
After Chu Li's tidying up, the entire Chong Ming Town was like a big net with eyes and ears everywhere. Most of them were people who did not know martial arts, so no matter how powerful Zhou Haodong was, he would not guard against these ordinary people.
In the morning, Xiao Qi was practicing her swordsmanship in front of the gazebo. Her injuries were almost healed, so it did not hinder her from fighting.
"My Lady, Zhou Haodong wants to see you." Suru floated over, her apricot gown reflecting her flawless face. "He's standing outside the Public House."
