"Honorable Master?" Chu Li asked.
Wen Hua said, "That Drilling Monkey Demon is a disciple of the Qi Faction!"
Chu Li nodded. "He is, but he is guilty of many crimes and has eaten many human brains. If this goes on, he will continue to eat until his cultivation level reaches the pinnacle and no one can control him."
"How can he cultivate to the pinnacle by eating human brains? Such an evil method is just killing himself." Wen Hua said, "Just wait for him to kill himself. Why bother?"
Chu Li said, "Who knows how many innocent people will die in his hands."
"Sigh …" Wen Hua sighed. "Ding Ru is a genius. He can learn everything with a single practice and has always won against his enemies without any setbacks. That's why he doesn't know much about the top sects in the world."
Chu Li asked, "Honorable Master, is the Qi Faction really that scary?"
"The Qi Faction is stronger than you can imagine." Wen Hua pressed his palms together and looked towards the east as if he was looking at the Qi Faction. He said, "The disciples of the Qi Faction have always been violent and overbearing. If you kill Hou Xianji, you will incur a hundredfold revenge. If you kill one of their disciples, they will kill a hundred of their disciples."
Chu Li smiled. "It's just death."
"If you don't die, they will kill the disciples of the temple." Wen Hua said, "There's no reason to reason with them. As long as it's their disciple, no one is allowed to touch them regardless of whether they are good or evil. Otherwise, they will fight to the death and they will take revenge no matter how much they lose!"
Ding Ru said, "They really are a bunch of lunatics."
"They are lunatics with peerless martial arts." Wen Hua said, "I have personally experienced their abilities and they are better than us. Once they are provoked, it will be a big problem."
Once the Qi Faction comes to deal with the Great Mercy Temple, the islands on the sea will not let go of this good opportunity. The War God Temple of Five Thunder Peak and the Morality Hall may not give their full support. They may just watch from the sidelines and let the Great Mercy Temple suffer.
Chu Li frowned. "Then I will change my appearance so that they won't recognize me."
Wen Hua shook his head. "Do you think the Qi Faction won't be able to find out? They have some unique abilities too. Whoever killed the Qi Faction's disciple can't hide it. "
Chu Li asked, "So we can only watch as he wantonly kills innocent people?"
Monk Wenhua sighed, "There are countless people who want to kill Hou Xianji but they don't dare to do so because they are worried about the Qi Sect."
Chu Li asked, "Don't tell me that the Qi Faction isn't going to clean up the mess?"
"This Hou Xianji is the son of an elder of Qi sect," Wen Hua said.
Chu Li frowned and his face darkened.
"Grandmaster, does that mean there's no way to deal with them?"
"Sigh …" Monk Wen Hua glanced at Chu Li and shook his head helplessly. "If you really want to make a move, then don't kill him. Capture him and hand him over to Qi Men. Let them deal with him themselves!"
"That's the only way." Ding Ding hurriedly nodded.
Chu Li scoffed and said, "Qi Faction, how impressive!"
"No one wants to be enemies with a lunatic." Monk Wen Hua shook his head and said, "Killing one Hou Xianji, who knows how many disciples of the temple will die. Ding Ru, you should understand this logic."
"Yes!" Chu Li pressed his palms together and said in a deep voice.
Ding Ru was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat.
This time, he almost caused a huge disaster by capturing Junior Brother Ding Ru, the Drilling Monkey Demon. If Junior Brother Ding Ru had really gotten his hands on him, there would be endless trouble now. If Qi Sect came knocking, there would be countless casualties among the disciples of the temple.
His thinking was still too simple.
There were many top-notch masters in the world. If these masters really wanted to kill the Drilling Monkey Demon, it was not impossible for them to succeed. However, they let the Drilling Monkey Demon live until now. There must be an inside story.
Now that he heard Grandmaster Wen Hua's analysis, he realized that he was ridiculously wrong. He was too naive and did not see through the hearts of people and the world.
Chu Li smiled at Ding Ru. "Senior Brother Ding Ru, don't worry. I will capture him but not kill him."
"That's good." Ding Ru heaved a sigh of relief and said, "But be careful, he is not weak. He has some strange skills and items with him. Otherwise, he would not have killed so many masters."
Chu Li slowly nodded.
Wen Hua saw Chu Li's determined expression and sighed. "Fine, I will go with you!"
"Thank you, Grandmaster!" Chu Li was overjoyed.
Wen Hua sighed. "I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. Come with me!"
Chu Li pulled his sleeve and the two suddenly disappeared.
Monk Ding Ru thought about it and left the temple. He came to the Hall of Great Strength and reported the matter to Abbot Xin Ji.
Xin Ji stood on the steps in front of the Hall of Great Strength and looked up at the blue sky.
The white clouds were leisurely and the blue sky was clear.
The sound of Sanskrit lingered around and the fragrance of sandalwood was faint. It was quiet and peaceful.
"Let's see how Ding Ru handles this matter. Although he is young, he is steady and wise. There is no need to worry too much, "Xin Ji said calmly.
"I'm just afraid that Junior Brother Ding Ru will have a murderous temper or that he will have the intention to kill Hou Xianji when he sees him and really kill him. Abbot, you still have to make more preparations in case the Qi Faction really comes to kill you." Monk Ding Ru said.
"Yes, I understand." Xin Ji nodded.
Monk Ding Ru bowed with pressed palms and gently retreated.

Chu Li and Monk Wen Hua appeared outside a bustling big city. They stood on a peak and looked down at the city.
It was noon at the Great Mercy Temple, but it was midnight here.
The huge Wildfire City was brightly lit as if it was daytime, but it was more prosperous and lively than daytime. The noise was endless and there was no sense of tranquility at night. He could clearly see through the Omniscient Mirror that the people in the city were busy.
"Wildfire City is known as the city that never sleeps," Monk Wen Hua said calmly.
Chu Li praised, "The prosperity of this city is really rare."
Monk Wen Hua nodded. "This is also the credit of the Qi Faction. Because they are overbearing and powerful, no one dares to provoke them. There are no martial arts masters in Wildfire City who dare to cause trouble, so it is extremely safe. Countless people around want to come in."
Chu Li nodded.
In such a chaotic world, there were endless disputes in the martial arts world. Killings happened all the time. Those who were slightly weaker in martial arts were anxious. Being able to enter Wildfire City meant that they were safe, so naturally, there would be countless people rushing over.
Monk Wen Hua said, "Hou Xianji came here?"
Chu Li nodded slowly.
Seeing how prosperous and huge Wildfire City was, he was sure that Hou Xianji must have come here. The more people there were, the easier it would be for him to hide. If there were people from the Qi Faction looking after him, he would not be discovered.
"The Qi Faction is actually after him too. He actually has the guts to come here. It must be unexpected," Monk Wen Hua said calmly. "Can you find him here?"
Chu Li said, "If they spread the news that he is here, can the Qi Faction catch him?"
"… Very likely." Monk Wen Hua nodded slowly.
Chu Li said, "What if someone obstructs us?"
"The elders of the Qi Faction are not mediocre people. How can they not take precautions?" Monk Wen Hua said.
Chu Li finally shook his head. "It is better to catch him and personally bring him to the Qi Faction!"
"… Very well." Monk Wen Hua nodded slowly.
This way, even if the Qi Faction was secretly angry, they could not say anything and would not harm Ding Ru.
This would also help the prestige of the Great Mercy Temple.
Chu Li closed his eyes and focused all his energy on the Omniscient Mirror to start looking for Hou Xianji.
