Chu Li glanced at Zhao Haiyuan and felt a chill down his spine.
Of course, he knew about the Heaven Shaking Brothel. It was the most mysterious of the nine divisions of the Outland. It was said that it knew the secrets of the heavens and was similar to the Stargazing Pavilion in the lower realm. However, its position was much higher.
The Stargazing Pavilion knew the secrets of the heavens but their martial arts were not strong. He heard from Li Xinghe that there was an ancestral teaching that one must not pursue the strongest martial arts or become an Enlightened Master. Otherwise, they would be punished by the heavens.
However, the Heaven Shaking Brothel not only knew the secrets of the heavens but also had strong martial arts. The disciples of the brothel were almost all Supreme Celestial Beings. It was the most detached and difficult division among the nine divisions. No one dared to provoke them.
Even though Song Wuji controlled the Thunder Pool, he was wary of the Heaven Shaking Brothel.
The disciples of the Heaven Shaking Brothel rarely showed themselves. They would only appear during crucial moments.
Zhao Haiyuan's cold and condescending gaze shifted to Chu Li. "You're Chu Li from the Ji Dynasty?"
Chu Li fist saluted. "Chu Li greets Young Master Zhao."
"Very good." Zhao Haiyuan said coldly, "You also know the Divination Technique."
Chu Li nodded. "I know a thing or two, just the surface."
"You're not just the surface." Zhao Haiyuan said coldly, "You're the reason why we were able to win this battle, right?"
Chu Li smiled but did not answer.
Song Chengzhi said, "Chu Li had predicted the location of the Asuras in advance. We've been lying in wait and ambushing them. Now that we've killed them, we've gained a great advantage. If this group of Asuras were to attack the city, the consequences would be unpredictable."
"They can't do anything." Zhao Haiyuan said coldly.
"Yes." Song Chengzhi did not refute and nodded.
Zhao Haiyuan asked, "Chu Li, who is your master?"
"I once obtained a set of Heavenly Heart Technique. I'm quite talented in cultivating it, but I don't know to what extent." Chu Li shook his head.
Zhao Haiyuan frowned. "Heavenly Heart Technique … derived from the Divination Technique. If you're not a disciple of the Stargazing Pavilion and cultivate the Divination Technique, you'll have to abolish the Heavenly Heart Technique!"
Chu Li was stunned.
Song Chengzhi hurriedly said, "Young Master Zhao, Chu Li is cultivating the Heavenly Heart Technique, not the Heavenly Mystery Technique. Moreover, this is a martial art that he cultivated in the Lower Realm, not the Grandmaster Boundary."
Zhao Haiyuan said coldly, "No matter where he cultivates, only disciples of the Stargazing Pavilion can cultivate the Heavenly Mystery Technique. This is the rule. Chu Li must destroy the Heavenly Heart Technique, or else don't blame the Heaven Shaking Pavilion for being ruthless!"
Chu Li was calm as usual. "Young Master Zhao, are you here to cripple my martial arts, or are you here to deal with the Heavenly Demon?"
"It's hard for a Skyfiend to achieve anything." Zhao Haiyuan said calmly, "Don't think about using the Heavenly Heart Manual to enter the Heaven Shaking Pavilion. You can only destroy the Heavenly Heart Manual. If you don't agree, the Stargazing Pavilion will make a move and take your life! I'm not from the Stargazing Pavilion, so I'll let you go for now. "
Chu Li said, "Thank you, Master Zhao."
Zhao Haiyuan said coldly, "If I were you, I would have destroyed the Heavenly Heart Technique long ago to prevent the Stargazing Pavilion from finding me. The Stargazing Pavilion of the Heavenly Shaking Pavilion is not the Stargazing Pavilion of your Lower Worlds. Killing you is as easy as flipping my hand!"
Chu Li nodded slowly. "Alright, I'll destroy the Heavenly Heart Technique when I return today!"
"Chu Li!" Song Chengzhi said hurriedly.
Being able to predict the Heavenly Mystery was a terrifying ability. Chu Li was able to avoid the Great Asura's assassination and the Celestial's assassination because of the Heavenly Heart Technique. Now that he was going to destroy it, he was digging his own grave.
"What a character." Zhao Haiyuan said coldly, "When it's time to make a decision, then make a decision."
Chu Li closed fist saluted. "You flatter me."
Zhao Haiyuan ignored him and turned to look at Zheng Tianlong. "Governor Zheng, gather all the Protectors of the Governor's Residence. I want to find the Heavenly Demon!"
"Alright." Zheng Tianlong nodded.
Zhao Haiyuan stood with his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky. He only showed the back of his head to Chu Li and the others, as if they were nothing.
Song Chengzhi pulled Chu Li, indicating that he had something to say to him.
Chu Li shook his head and smiled. He lifted his chin at Zhao Haiyuan, wanting to see how Zhao Haiyuan would deal with the Heavenly Demon.
He wanted to know how Zhao Haiyuan would deal with the Heavenly Demon's treasure that suppressed the Heavenly Mystery.
Zhao Haiyuan looked at the sky with his hands behind his back and said coldly with his back facing them, "Before I came, the Elders Guild ordered that the White Dew Clan is under my command."
"Yes." Song Chengzhi agreed without hesitation.
"Disperse. Take those things too," Zhao Haiyuan said.
Song Chengzhi waved his hand.
Mo Heng and Fu Tianlei led the others away with the pile of little thumbs. Only Song Chengzhi and Chu Li stayed behind.
Zhao Haiyuan did not seem to care about the two of them. He only looked at the sky with his hands behind his back as if there was a great mystery in the void that was worth studying.
Chu Li was silent. Song Chengzhi was silent as well.
After a while, Zheng Tianlong strode in. "Young Master Zhao, all the Protectors are outside. Shall we go and take a look?"
Zhao Haiyuan said, "Bring them in."
"Bring them all in?" Zheng Tianlong said, "This place can't hold them."
"Two batches!" Zhao Haiyuan scoffed.
"Alright." Zheng Tianlong turned and left.
Two thousand city guards dressed in black entered in a solemn and silent manner.
They were uniform and silent as if they had no emotions of their own. They looked at Zhao Haiyuan calmly and coldly, not even sparing Chu Li and Song Chengzhi a glance. It was as if they did not exist.
Chu Li felt the energy of this group of city guards. They were all first rank.
He shook his head.
He had originally thought that first rank celestials were very rare. Only after arriving at the Grandmaster did he realize that in important places like the Nine Divisions and Wolong City, first rank celestials were very common.
Thinking about it carefully, Wolong City was very important. It was the gateway to the extraterritorial battlefield, so it was understandable that the city guards were all first rank. Perhaps there were not as many first rank celestials as he thought. Otherwise, there would not only be four thousand city guards, but ten thousand or even a hundred thousand.
They did not move. Zhao Haiyuan looked at the sky with his hands behind his back, as if he had forgotten about them.
Chu Li knew that he was using his heart technique because Zhao Haiyuan's energy suddenly became ethereal. It was as if he was far away in the void, far away in the sky. His body was there, but his mind was far away.
After a while, Zhao Haiyuan pointed behind him, but he still did not turn his head.
Zheng Tianlong looked at an old man and said in a low voice, "Elder Han, come out."
"Yes, City Lord." A thin and lean old man strode out of the ranks and arrived in front of Zheng Tianlong in a single step.
Zhao Haiyuan waved his hand.
Zheng Tianlong said, "Go out."
The city guards in black turned around and walked back, still in an orderly fashion.
Chu Li sighed inwardly. To be able to train a first rank celestial to this level, Zheng Tianlong's ability could not be underestimated. Not just anyone could become the Mayor of Wolong City.
Zheng Tianlong looked at the thin old man and sighed. "Elder Han …"
He suddenly flashed behind Elder Han and struck out with his palm.
"Bang!" Elder Han moved like a ghost and met Zheng Tianlong's attack with his right palm. He was not at a disadvantage and was about to disappear in a flash.
"Chi!" With a clear whistle, Elder Han's body suddenly froze. An invisible finger force had already hit him.
Zhao Haiyuan retracted his right hand into his wide sleeve and continued to look at the sky with his hands behind his back.
Zheng Tianlong cupped his hands at Zhao Haiyuan and continued to pat Elder Han's body a few more times, sealing several major acupuncture points before bringing him into the hall.
He stood on the steps and raised his voice. "Second team, come in!"
Two thousand city guards in black appeared in an orderly fashion. They still did not look at Chu Li and Song Chengzhi, standing in front of Zheng Tianlong without moving.
Zhao Haiyuan stretched out his hand and pointed twice.
Zheng Tianlong's expression changed slightly. He slowly said, "Zheng Xi, Lu Yongzhou, step forward."
