When Monk Liao Ming saw that Leng Wufeng froze and did not move for a long time, he knew that Chu Li's words had hit the nail on the head. Leng Wufeng dared not move or make a move.
Leng Wufeng had been hesitant. Based on his temper, he would have made a move long ago, but his instinct told him not to.
He had misgivings, so he had been using his power to pressure Chu Li and force Chu Li to yield. Moreover, Monk Ming was here. Under the pincer attack of two Enlightened Masters, even if there was danger, it would not be that great.
Thinking of this, he was eager to make a move.
Monk Liao Ming hurriedly said, "Amitabha … Why must the two of you fight to the death? Let's each take a step back. His Majesty mustn't provoke Almsgiver Chu in the future, and Almsgiver Chu mustn't provoke His Majesty. Isn't this a happy ending?"
Chu Li smiled and said, "If it's as you think, Great Master, there's no war in the world yet. Everyone just needs to take a step back."
"Yes, yes." Monk Liao Ming said slowly, "There are many slow-witted people in the world. Donor Chu and His Majesty are both top-notch smart people. How can you not see through this?"
Chu Li said, "The Great Master can see through it, but I can't. I don't think His Majesty can either. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used Meng Xiaoqi to attack me. Only His Majesty can bully an orphan and a widow!"
Leng Wufeng gritted his teeth. "I knew you'd show up."
Chu Li could not help but laugh. "If that's the case, His Majesty is going to deal with me. Does His Majesty think that as the Emperor, only you can bully others and others can't fight back?"
"That's right!" Leng Wufeng uttered, "As a subject of the Ji Dynasty, I have the right to punish you!"
Chu Li shook his head. "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that I'm now a disciple of Goddess Attraction Mountain? You don't have the right to punish me. Moreover, even if I have the right to deal with it, would I just obediently let it go? Your Majesty is not so naive. That means you have the confidence to deal with me! "
"You're great, but I have Master Ming's help." Leng Wufeng scoffed.
When he saw Chu Li's expression, he became even more cautious.
Chu Li smiled. "Will Master Liao Ming kill me?"
Leng Wufeng scoffed. "Why not?"
Chu Li said, "It's said that Master Liao Ming and His Majesty don't get along, but it seems like it's just a rumor."
"We've had our fair share of troubles, but we're not mortal enemies," Leng Wufeng said. "We've always worked together to deal with outsiders."
Master Liao Ming pressed his palms together and bowed, "Amitabha …"
Chu Li sighed.
At the end of the day, the two of them were arguing because they wanted to make Monk Ming waver. He wanted Monk Ming to back out of the dispute and not stand up for Leng Wufeng, whereas Leng Wufeng wanted Monk Ming to help him.
Monk Liao Ming was also an eminent monk with a profound understanding of Buddhism, so it was impossible for him not to know about it. Nonetheless, Chu Li and Leng Wufeng were both important to the Ji Dynasty, so they could not afford to lose either of them. Therefore, he only wanted to persuade them to bury the hatchet.
Chu Li was a little impatient. He stood up and said, "If that's the case, let's cut the nonsense. Goodbye."
He turned around to leave.
"Wait!" Leng Wufeng scoffed.
Chu Li turned to look at him with a faint smile. "Your Majesty, are you going to force me to stay?"
"Let me ask you something else." Leng Wufeng scoffed. "You're very close to the Holy Church of Light's bishop, Sun Mingyue, right?"
Chu Li nodded. "Yes."
Leng Wufeng scoffed. "You should know about our relationship with the Holy Church of Light."
Chu Li nodded. "I do, they're enemies."
"If that's the case, why are you still colluding with Sun Mingyue?" Leng Wufeng yelled. "When have you ever cared about the Ji Dynasty? Don't tell me that you've told Sun Mingyue about the Ji Dynasty?"
Chu Li shook his head. "Bishop Sun won't ask me about the Ji Dynasty, and I won't tell her either. I'm afraid that it's difficult for someone like Your Majesty to understand my open-mindedness. I'm just gauging the heart of a gentleman with my own mean measure. Goodbye!"
"Please stay!" Leng Wufeng struck him with his palm.
He had made up his mind. This was a rare opportunity. Since Master Liao Ming might only help him this once, he had to give it a try no matter what. Leng Wufeng had spent so much effort to invite Chu Li over, so how could he let Chu Li go just because he was powerful?
Chu Li met the attack with his palm.
"Bang!" The ground shook as the corridor they were in broke into several sections and fell into the lake.
Leng Wufeng and Chu Li each took a step back and landed on a section of the corridor before they landed on the lake.
Leng Wufeng's body moved even though there was no wind as he slowly floated into the air. His bright yellow dragon robe fluttered as he sneered. "You're quite capable indeed. No wonder you dared to break into the Imperial House!"
Chu Li stood in the air and smiled. "You're quite skilled too. No wonder you dared to plot against me!"
Monk Liao Ming floated in the air with his grey cowl fluttering. He pressed his palms together and looked at them before he shook his head and sighed helplessly.
Leng Wufeng scoffed but he was relieved.
The sense of danger from Chu Li seemed to have disappeared.
Leng Wufeng's confidence was boosted. Chu Li was not as powerful as he thought. It seemed like the gift from the Outland had indeed made him powerful enough. Thus, he struck again.
Chu Li faced it.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang …" Deafening explosions rang out incessantly. After the corridor above the lake was destroyed, it was swept away by the power of the Empyrean God. Thus, it turned into powder and fell into the lake.
The multicolored koi dived out recklessly and swallowed the powder. Some were directly crushed into minced meat by the palm force, while others dived into the depths of the lake when they saw that the situation was bad. The latter survived, but not many survived.
The clear lake water turned blood-red. Monk Liao Ming chanted the name of Buddha and advised the two to stop.
However, Leng Wufeng and Chu Li's fight became more intense. The deafening noises came from the Imperial House and gradually spread until half of Fairy's Capital could hear it.
King An's Imperial Residence could vaguely hear it.
Xiao Shi and Xiao Qi had profound cultivation levels, so they heard the noises.
Xiao Shi smiled. "Looks like they're really fighting. Younger Sister, do you think Chu Li can win?"
"Logically speaking, the Emperor is no match for him." Xiao Qi smiled.
She did not sense any danger, so it was obvious that Chu Li had the upper hand.
Xiao Shi said, "He can already suppress an Enlightened Master now. What do you think he'll become when he becomes an Enlightened Master?"
"It's too difficult for him to become an Enlightened Master." Xiao Qi shook her head. "His path is too difficult."
She heard from Chu Li about her path. Not only did she have to cultivate the four heart techniques, but she also had to combine the four heart techniques into one. This was too difficult. The creation of a heart technique usually required the essence of several generations of wisdom, and the four heart techniques were already exquisite beyond compare. If she were to make any slight changes to them, she might go astray.
"Master, when are you going to act if not now!" Leng Wufeng suddenly shouted. "Do you really want him to suppress us Enlightened Masters and do whatever he wants in the Ji Dynasty?"
"Amitabha …" Monk Liao Ming pressed his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha. He sighed. "Almsgiver Chu, I'm sorry!"
As an Enlightened Master, the restrictions were great, but he was not averse to it. This was because the more powerful one was, the more one had to control it, or else it would bring disaster to the world. Chu Li had such overbearing power, but he was not bound by the Heavenly Rules. This was too dangerous, so he needed to suppress him.
As he pressed his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha, he bent his pinky and pointed. It was the Petrifying Finger.
The same finger technique was completely different in Fa Yuan and Liao Ming's hands. Monk Liao Ming's technique was truly silent and traceless.
