His footsteps were silent as he slowly walked to the center of the courtyard.
The moonlight was like water. His figure was tall and slender, and his temperament was elegant. He really had an otherworldly aura.
He looked left and right with a burning gaze, and his gaze finally focused on Chu Li who was at the foot of the wall.
Chu Li stepped out of the shadows and stood in front of him quietly.
High Duke Lu sized him up without a word.
At such a young age, he had already reached the Grandmaster's Boundary. He was truly a genius and was not inferior to his own daughter. It was not surprising for such a person to be able to reach this place without anyone noticing. Unfortunately, he was an enemy and not a friend.
Chu Li slowly pointed his finger forward.
High Duke Lu slid to the side to avoid it. He threw out a light punch, as if he was greeting an old friend.
Chu Li activated the Omniscient Mirror and clearly saw every change in his body. The flow of his inner energy, his flesh and bones, his skin and even his pores, everything was clearly imprinted in his mind.
A gust of inner force condensed into a ball of fist force. Like a rock rolling down from the top of a mountain, it sped up after leaving the fist. It became faster and faster, becoming unstoppable.
"Bang!" A thunderous sound exploded.
A purplish golden light flashed across Chu Li's body before the light dissipated.
It was as if he had been hit by a galloping horse. His body flew over the wall and disappeared into the night, as if he had been punched into the void.
High Duke Lu remained motionless as he stared at the direction where Chu Li disappeared. He furrowed his brows in silence.
The Great Leiyin Temple was really troublesome!
Xi Wu flipped over the wall and floated over, "High Duke!"
High Duke Lu waved his hand and said, "Don't chase after him, let him be! … This brat took a palm strike from me, but he was able to escape with his life. He's quite capable! "
"Why is the Tempest Temple here?" Xi Wu frowned and said, "We have never interfered with them and have never had any grudges with them."
"This bunch of monks has a strange way of thinking. Normal people are hard to understand. Ignore him." High Duke Lu said plainly, "Thank you for your hard work."
"This is my duty." Xi Wu shook his head.
He made a fist salute and left, returning to Lu Yurong's courtyard.
Lu Yurong stood in the courtyard, wearing only a plain and elegant moon-white gown: "Elder Xi, what's going on?"
"The High Duke fought with someone," Xi Wu said, "and they ran away."
"Fight with Father?" Lu Yurong frowned. "Assassinate him?"
The nine maids also came out. Their beautiful hair draped over their shoulders, all of them charming.
Xi Wu said, "Who can assassinate the High Duke!"
"How many moves did he use?"
"The High Duke defeated him with one punch. He should be a monk from the Tempest Temple."
"This bunch of monks!" Lu Yurong sighed, "Troublesome!"
The Great Leiyin Temple was indeed powerful. She knew it very well.
The Tempest Temple was not as easy to deal with as outsiders thought. Although it was only a martial arts sect, it had an extremely deep foundation. No one knew how many hidden masters they had. Otherwise, the emperor wouldn't be so afraid.
The Tempest Temple had killed many of the Imperial House's protectors. Based on the Emperor's temper, he would have killed his way to the Tempest Temple and annihilated the group of monks.
But in the end, the Great Leiyin Temple was still fine. The Emperor did not make a move. This was definitely not in line with the Emperor's usual temperament. It could only be said that the Great Leiyin Temple was unfathomable, causing the Emperor to not dare to make a move.

Chu Li's internal organs were on fire. It was as if there was a fire burning inside him.
His five viscera and six bowels were heavily injured.
This punch directly broke through the Sentient Menace and injured his internal organs at the same time. It was even more overbearing than the Spear Finger Strike.
If it were not for his strong body, the fact that he had cultivated the Sun Cultivating White Tiger Portrait, the Sentient Menace, and the Life and Death Scripture, he would have died from just one punch.
Such an overbearing fist technique. He had never heard of it before.
The depth of High Duke Lu's cultivation level made him gasp in amazement. It seemed that he still had a long way to go. He had to bury his head and train hard. This time, when he returned to the Imperial Residence, he would not care about the mundane affairs and focus on training!
He did not know if High Duke Lu's cultivation level was perfected, but it was definitely not the Enlightened Mastery's Boundary. If he wanted to become an Enlightened Master, he would have to reach this stage first.
He left the Green Mountain Town. As he hurried, he dispelled High Duke Lu's fist force.
When the Infinite Azure Sea met this fist force, it was like water hitting a rock. The effect was minimal and could not be dispelled.
He channeled King An's Scripture of Duality.
The Scripture of Duality turned once. His inner energy was unusually pure. When it met High Duke Lu's inner energy, it was like water meeting ice. It slowly wore away. There was a glimmer of hope.
Spiritual energy surged in from all directions. A portion of it nourished his body. A portion of it channeled the Scripture of Duality to wear away High Duke Lu's inner energy.
After a night of wearing away, the fist force was reduced very little. If this continued, he might not be able to do it even after a month.
The fist force seemed to have a mind of its own as it continuously destroyed his body. Even if his body was strong and was nourished by spiritual energy, it was still deteriorating bit by bit.
He concentrated and thought. The scene of High Duke Lu's fist force appeared in his mind.
He stopped in a dense forest and pondered over High Duke Lu's fist technique.
He tried to move his inner energy along his meridians. Then, he punched out.
He shook his head. It was still lacking a little.
Although he knew the route of channeling and the body's movements, it was not easy to perfectly coordinate the two.
The sun rose from the east. It slowly glided across the sky and hung on the west mountain.
The sunset filled the sky. Chu Li regained his senses.
His stomach growled. His body weakened a little more.
However, he looked excited. After a day of endless pondering and practice, he found the knack and could perform this fist technique.
His inner energy circulated from his toes to his thighs to his waist, and finally to his shoulders, elbows, and wrists. Every muscle was completely relaxed. His inner energy gushed out and he punched out soundlessly.
"Bam!" An old pine tree's bark flew off. It shook violently and pine needles fell to the ground.
Chu Li walked to the pine tree and looked at the fist mark. His smile widened.
This fist was now his. It was powerful and could be considered an antique study.
High Duke Lu's fist technique condensed his inner energy into a ball and turned it into a fist force. It was so pure that it was hard to eliminate it.
Chu Li learned this fist technique. His inner energy condensed into a ball of fist force. However, it was not as pure as High Duke Lu's. It was like a piece of wood against a rock. He could only knock it away but not break it.
He channeled his inner energy and punched his abdomen with his right fist.
"Bam!" It was like a thunderclap.
"Pfft!" He spat out a mouthful of black blood. His face was pale but he smiled.
It was effective. This punch forced half of High Duke Lu's fist force out of his body.
If his inner energy was purer, he would not have to use such a method of self-injury. He could have directly destroyed the fist force and turned it into inner energy.
He punched the right side of his chest again.
"Bam! Pfft!"
He spat out a mouthful of blood. His smile became lighter.
After two punches, although he was injured, High Duke Lu's fist force was only left with a trace.
This trace was nothing to worry about. It could be worn away in a day.
Chu Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he had the Scripture of Duality. Otherwise, with the purity of his inner energy, condensed into a fist force, he would not be able to do anything to High Duke Lu's fist force.
He left the dense forest. The spiritual force from Heaven and Earth entered his body and continuously healed his body.
By the time the lanterns were lit, he had already entered a small town. He ordered some wine and food and wolfed down the food. He regained his vigor and his body looked brand new.
This time, it was a blessing in disguise. He learned this fist technique and gained a lot.
