Chu Li said lightly, "Zheng En, do you think your courage is commendable? Or do you think I won't be able to wipe out the entire Zheng Family? "
"Chu Li, don't go overboard!" Zheng En scoffed angrily.
"If you don't swear, I'll kill you," Chu Li said calmly. "You should know that I can do it."
Zheng En met Chu Li's calm gaze and his heart tightened inexplicably.
Since Chu Li was able to kill his father and his uncle amidst thousands of soldiers and horses, it would be easy for him to kill him here. Compared to his father and uncle, the difference in their cultivation levels was like heaven and earth. He was definitely no match for Chu Li. Even if all the masters from the Imperial House joined forces, it would still be useless.
Chu Li said, "I don't want to say anymore. There are only two options."
Hu Jing heaved a long sigh. "Your Majesty, for the sake of the Zheng Dynasty, you should swear!"
"… Alright, I swear!" Zheng En nodded slowly.
"Wait!" With a shout, four old men appeared in the hall.
Chu Li looked at the four elders with a faint smile.
Their eyebrows were snow-white, and their faces were as smooth and rosy as a baby's. They were worthy of the name of having white hair and a youthful complexion.
Chu Li saw through their identities at a glance. They were Celestial Beings.
Hu Jing frowned at the four old men and said in a deep voice, "Four Reverends, don't be rude!"
These four elders were the officials of the Imperial House. Their status was high and they only reported to the Emperor, but Hu Jing did not take them seriously.
The four elders looked at him deeply, then at Zheng En.
Chu Li said, "I'm surprised that the Zheng Dynasty's Imperial Celestial Beings are still alive."
"Chu Li, don't you dare be presumptuous!" An old man frowned and snorted, "Don't think that we're afraid of you just because you've killed so many Celestial Beings. This is the Zheng Dynasty's palace, not a place for you to act presumptuously."
Chu Li frowned.
He didn't expect there to be such a fearless celestial being.
Looking at their bright and resolute eyes, it was clear that they had the will to die. Once the Zheng Empire withdrew its troops, these celestials wouldn't be able to complete their mission, so there was no point in staying here. They wanted to return to the Realm Beyond Heaven and be punished as soon as possible.
"Four Reverends, shut up!" Hu Jing shouted.
A Heavenly Being snorted and said, "Hu Jing, where are you from? Are you a citizen of the Zheng Dynasty or the Ji Dynasty? "
Hu Jing said coldly, "Heaven and earth can bear witness to this Hu's intentions. On the other hand, you High Priests are baffling and don't know what you're talking about!"
Zheng En waved his hand and scoffed. "Be quiet!"
He looked at Chu Li with a solemn expression. His gaze had calmed down and was no longer filled with hatred.
Chu Li felt that he had grown a lot in just a short while. It was as if he had suddenly gone from being ignorant to mature and had finally stepped into the world of an emperor.
He nodded in satisfaction.
He was not afraid of people who were thoughtful and resourceful. He liked to deal with smart people because they could save him a lot of effort, unlike now where he needed a lot of effort to achieve his goal. If Zheng En was an extremely smart person, as long as he appeared and said a few words, he would obediently swear.
Zheng En pointed to the sky and swore that he would never invade the Ji Dynasty again during his reign, but if the Ji Dynasty dared to attack, he would annihilate them.
Chu Li furrowed his brows.
Zheng En even played a small trick. If the Ji Dynasty attacked, they would surely be annihilated. It was not difficult to trick the Ji Dynasty into attacking first, then the Zheng Dynasty would be able to take advantage of the situation and attack. It was a wishful thinking.
Unfortunately, this was easy to overcome. He just had to set a firm rule that the Ji Dynasty was not allowed to cross the border.
He also needed to suppress the Ji Dynasty, otherwise, Leng Shouren would have already sent his troops.

Qiao San came out of the Imperial Residence of King Cheng and leisurely went to a restaurant in Fairy's Capital. He followed his old habit of ordering a pot of fine wine and four plates of appetizers. He leisurely enjoyed four hours of leisure time and completely relaxed.
Ever since he entered the Imperial Residence of King Cheng according to the young lord's orders, he had been very careful every day, afraid that his identity would be exposed. Fortunately, no one in the Imperial Residence suspected him because of his cautiousness.
However, he did not know what the young lord was up to that he had to find out about the secrets of the Imperial Residence of King Cheng.
As he thought about it, he walked upstairs and was about to reach his usual seat. His expression suddenly changed and he was overjoyed as he bowed. "Young Lord!"
Chu Li, who was disguised as Zhuge Tian, was sitting quietly by a table. He leaned against the window and leisurely drank his wine. When he heard the noise, he turned around and looked at Qiao San. Qiao San looked fairer than before. He scoffed and said, "Looks like you're living a good life!"
"Young Lord, you're out of isolated cultivation!" Qiao San bowed.
Chu Li replied, "Yes, I've traveled all over the Ji Dynasty and finally found something. What about you?"
Qiao San showed a proud expression. "Don't worry, Young Lord. I've gained the trust of everyone in the Imperial Residence of King Cheng. As long as it's not the top secret, I'll definitely be able to find out. What would you like to know, Young Lord?"
Chu Li shook his head. "Let's not talk about the Imperial Residence of King Cheng for now. I want to return to the mountain."
"Return to the mountain? Then I'll follow you back to the mountain!" Qiao San was startled.
"Hmm, that's exactly what I wanted. I wonder how the mountain is doing." Chu Li nodded slowly.
"Don't worry, Young Lord. The mountain has been very peaceful. Everyone is desperately cultivating to master the Crouching Bull Power. I think nothing major has happened. Hill Master's martial arts is very powerful now, no one will be dissatisfied with you. "Qiao San smiled.
"I hope so. I'll leave tomorrow. Go and inform them," Chu Li said.
"Yes," Qiao San replied.
The next morning, the two left Fairy's Capital and returned to Crouching Bull Mountain at night.
The entire Crouching Bull Mountain was shrouded in silence.
Chu Li used the Omniscient Mirror and saw that the disciples of Crouching Bull Mountain were immersed in their cultivation. They had made great progress, including Murong Liang and Duan Tianya, who had extremely high aptitudes. There were fifty-two Grandmasters.
This was a huge improvement for Crouching Bull Mountain. If it was in the past, Crouching Bull Mountain would not have been able to stay and would have been eager to rebuild the sect.
He used the Omniscient Mirror to observe carefully and noticed two strangers.
One of them was an old man with yellow hair and a yellow beard. His complexion was also sallow. The other was a handsome young man with an extraordinary temperament. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary person.
The handsome young man seemed to feel that someone was spying on him. He looked around but did not see Chu Li.
Chu Li frowned. It was a Celestial!
Even Celestials came to Crouching Bull Mountain. These people were everywhere!
Qiao San looked up at Crouching Bull Mountain and was filled with emotions.
Although he had not left for long, it felt like a long time. He felt an indescribable sense of familiarity and peace of mind when he returned.
"Young Lord, let's go in quickly and meet everyone," Qiao San said.
Chu Li shook his head. "Let's go in quietly and not let anyone see us."
Qiao San was stunned but did not ask any questions. He nodded. "Let's enter from the back of the mountain."
Chu Li brought him into Crouching Bull Mountain quietly. Chu Li carried Qiao San and returned to his courtyard without alerting the Mountain Protection Formation of Crouching Bull Mountain.
The courtyard was clean and spotless. It was impossible to tell that no one lived there.
Qiao San sighed. "I'm finally back. The outside world is good, but it's not as good as home!"
Chu Li glanced at him.
Qiao San smiled awkwardly. "Young Lord, are we going to meet the Hill Master?"
"There's no rush. Find a few people close to you and ask about the situation in the mountain." Chu Li shook his head.
"Yes." Qiao San felt that something was wrong. He closed fist saluted.
