"What do you mean?" Lu Jun's eyes widened.
Chu Li smiled, "If you can get some information, then it's not right. If the House of High Dukes doesn't have any tricks up their sleeves, it's a waste to be the mayor of Chong Ming Town for so many years."
"Oh, so you're saying that it's normal if I can't get any information, but it's not normal if I do?" Lu Jun scoffed, "You're really good at quibbling!"
Chu Li sighed. He shook his head and said, "If you can really find out about it, it means that the High Duke's Public House deliberately spread the news. There must be something fishy about it. As for now, everything is normal. Let's wait for the news tomorrow."
"We still have to wait for another day!" Lu Jun scoffed, "How many have you crippled?"
"Three Grandmasters," Chu Li said. "Although they're not that strong, they're definitely not weak. They should be among the top Protectors of the House of High Dukes."
"You can blow your trumpet now," Lu Jun said with a look of disbelief, "Leader, should I go and cripple a few?"
"Forget it, there's no harm in waiting," Song Zhifan shook his head, "One more day won't make a difference."
"… Yes," Lu Jun opened his mouth, but in the end, he could only agree.
Chu Li closed fist saluted and smiled, "Thank you, Leader."
Song Zhifan shook his head, "I only know how to make the best use of everything. If you're really a talent, I won't mistreat you. What martial arts are you cultivating?"
Chu Li smiled, "To be honest, I had a fortuitous encounter. I'm cultivating the Cloud Slashing Power. It's a real divine martial art. Unfortunately, I got it too late. I've only cultivated it for a few years."
"Cloud Slashing Power …" Song Zhifan thought about it and shook his head, indicating that he had never heard of it.
Lu Jun snickered, "Divine skill? What a joke!"
Chu Li scoffed, "If I cultivated it when I was young, you wouldn't have the right to stand in front of me and talk nonsense now, Young Lu."
"Alright, I've seen through you now." Lu Jun shook his head and said, "He's just a guy who loves to blow conch shells. If he doesn't blow for a while, his whole body will itch."
Chu Li glared at him, then turned his head and smiled at Song Zhifan. "This Cloud Slashing Power once caused a bloodbath in the martial arts world. Countless people fought for it, but in the end, I managed to get my hands on it. So, I hid it and secretly cultivated it. Unfortunately, although it's a divine power, it can't defy nature. I'm already old, and my vigor has deteriorated.
"Your inner energy is very pure. Obviously, your Cloud Slashing Power is not weak either." Song Zhifan nodded and said, "Go ahead and cultivate it first. Once you've made enough contributions, you can switch to cultivating the divine technique in the Church. I'm sure it'll be better than the Cloud Slashing Power."
"Yes." Chu Li fist saluted with a look of longing.
Lu Jun pursed his lips and said nothing.
Chu Li said, "Bishop, I'll return to Chong Ming Town first. I'll keep an eye on the High Duke's Public House and see if they have any other moves."
"Hmm, that's fine too." Song Zhifan nodded.
Once Chu Li fluttered away, Lu Jun approached him and asked, "Bishop, do you really believe him?"
"Looks like it's true." Song Zhifan said, "The Cloud Slashing Power is not an ordinary martial art. Unfortunately, it's not complete. Its original name is Extinguishing Heaven and Destroying Earth Concealing Cloud Power. It's the heart technique of the ancient Sect Extinguishing Heaven."
Lu Jun smiled and said, "The name is really long. Extinguishing Heaven and Destroying Earth Concealing Cloud Power … What Cloud Slashing Power?"
"Extinguishing Heaven and Destroying Earth Concealing Cloud Power." Song Zhifan shook his head and said, "It's a pity that this technique was lost. Only some superficial knowledge was passed down. The first two levels became the Cloud Slashing Power."
"That's only two levels. How strong can it be?" Lu Jun said.
Song Zhifan said, "How strong do you think the first two levels of the Sacrificial Power are?"
"Of course it's very strong," Lu Jun said in his heart.
"That's exactly it!" Song Zhifan shook his head and said, "So, don't underestimate the Cloud Slashing Power. Baili Na was also a very lucky person to be able to obtain the Cloud Slashing Power. This kind of person is very useful and can easily succeed."
"His luck is good enough. Otherwise, he wouldn't have met us." Lu Jun smiled and said, "He wouldn't have been recognized by the Bishop."
"You have to learn more from him in the future," Song Zhifan said, "Don't always go against him."
"Yes." Lu Jun quickly agreed and then said, "But Bishop, I really can't help it. Whenever I see him taking advantage of his seniority, I can't help but get angry."
"You …" Song Zhifan shook his head and smiled.

After Chu Li returned to Chong Ming Town, he took a few turns and entered a small alley. Then, he disappeared in a flash and appeared in the backyard of King An's Imperial Residence. He saw Xiao Qi and Xiao Shi.
The two women were dressed in snow-white clothes. One was cultivating while the other was reading.
Xiao Qi was reading. Her Regal Sword Scripture no longer needed to be cultivated. She did not even need to cultivate anymore. She only needed to nourish her heart. She looked like a person who did not know martial arts.
Xiao Shi, on the other hand, was slowly practicing a body-nourishing fist technique. It was taught by Chu Li and could activate one's blood and vitality. It was very helpful for her Tianxin Technique.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Qi put down the scroll and looked at him. She frowned and asked, "Is something wrong?"
She was exceptionally sharp now. She could see the seriousness in Chu Li's eyes. It was different from his usual carefree manner. It was obvious that something important had happened.
Chu Li smiled and shook his head.
Xiao Shi scoffed. "I heard Sun Mingyue became an Enlightened Master."
Chu Li nodded and smiled. "Second Sister, how's Li Xinghe lately?"
"He …?" Xiao Shi pouted her red lips. "He's like a playboy. He's fooling around in Fairy's Capital all day long. I don't know what he's busy with."
Chu Li said, "Let him come over."
Xiao Shi nodded and waved her hand.
Liu Xu walked out of the backyard gracefully to pass on the order.
Chu Li knew that Li Xinghe was not in the residence. Even outside of the Omniscient Mirror, it was obvious that he was not in Fairy's Capital. Hence, he did not use his secret skill to sense his location.
After about an hour, Li Xinghe walked into the backyard in a blue tunic. He gave a fist salute and greeted Chu Li.
Chu Li sat by the stone table and pointed.
When Li Xinghe sat opposite him, Xiao Qi and Xiao Shi had already left.
"Brother Li, there's something I don't understand," Chu Li said.
"Please speak, Head Chief," Li Xinghe said seriously.
Chu Li asked, "Did Stargazing Pavilion predict the appearance of the Longevity Church?"
"The Longevity Church has appeared?" Li Xinghe's expression turned serious.
Chu Li smiled. "It seems like you guys have a well-deserved reputation."
"Yes." Li Xinghe nodded seriously. "Two hundred years ago, a Grandmaster peeked into the Heavenly Mystery for the last time before his death. He saw the appearance of the Longevity Church."
Chu Li asked, "What was the result?"
"Not good." Li Xinghe frowned. "The Longevity Church is not to be underestimated. I advise you to avoid them, Head Chief."
"If that's the case, they're very powerful?" Chu Li asked.
Li Xinghe nodded slowly. "They're much more powerful than I imagined."
"Then where did you see their headquarters?" Chu Li asked.
Li Xinghe was stunned. He quickly said, "Could it be that you're planning to break into the headquarters yourself, Head Chief? You mustn't. No matter how powerful you are, you won't be able to break into the headquarters!"
Chu Li sighed. "Am I supposed to just watch?"
"A wise man submits to circumstances." Li Xinghe said, "Why must you go against the trend, Head Chief? Circumstances create heroes. A hero should take advantage of the situation. "
