"By the way, have you heard of the Heavenly Demon?"
"Heavenly Demon?" Siao Shi muttered, "The Heavenly Demon of the Thirty-three Heavens?"
Chu Li nodded.
It was just a casual question, but he didn't expect her to really know about it.
Xiao Shi said, "The Heavenly Demons reside above the Thirty-three Heavens. They have no form, but they have substance. They can change their appearance at will. They are ever-changing and can do whatever they want."
"Where's the Heavenly Demonic Power?"
"Heavenly Demonic Power … How did you hear about this?" Xiao Shi asked.
Chu Li said, "I heard it from someone else and felt that the name was ominous, so I remembered it."
"The Heavenly Demon Power was passed down from the Heavenly Demon Scripture. It was said that it was passed down from the Thirty-three Heavens, but unfortunately, it has been lost." Siao Shi shook her head and said regretfully, "Once the Heavenly Demon Scripture is cultivated, it is said that one can transform into a myriad of forms and can even transform into a Spirit Beast. It is truly a supreme lost art!"
"Then why was it lost?"
"It's too difficult to get started. With the weakening of human Innate Spiritual Qi, no one could master it. Over time, the Heavenly Demon Scripture disappeared." Siao Shi sighed, "The Scripture of the Sky Demon has many similar situations. Many ancient martial arts were lost because of this."
"Weak natural spiritual energy?"
"Yes, I've read a hidden treasure before. It was said that because the Spiritual Beasts had left, humans became at ease and it was hard to stimulate their potential. Every generation was weaker than the previous one. Not only can the Spiritual Beasts kill and eat humans, they can also bring benefits to humans. Now that the Spiritual Beasts have entered Hundred-Thousand Mountain, humans are no longer in danger and they are getting weaker." Siao Shi shook her head and said, "I think it makes sense."
Chu Li was deep in thought.
Siao Shi had read a lot of books, she was better than him.
"Just the name 'Heavenly Demon Scripture' sounds inappropriate. There will be repercussions if I cultivate it, right?"
"I've never heard of any repercussions," Siao Shi thought for a while, "Of course it won't be completely unaffected. If you can change, how can your temperament not change? … Why, do you want to practice the Heavenly Demon Scripture? "
"Can you find the Sky Demon Scripture? … If I cultivate this and kill King An, will the Emperor be able to find me? "
"This …" Xiao Shi furrowed her brows in deep thought.
She thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "I really can't say for sure. The Heavenly Demon Scripture came from the 33 Heavens. It was said that after mastering it, one would be able to sense the Heavenly Demon of the 33 Heavens. It should be able to block the Emperor's Dongzhu. Unfortunately, I can't find the Heavenly Demon Scripture. "
Chu Li perked up and smiled. "I'll send someone to look for it. There might be some clues."
Siao Shi smiled and did not think much of it.
The Heavenly Demon Scripture was not something that could be easily found. Otherwise, the High Duke's Public House would not be so weak.
Chu Li fist saluted and left.

He went straight to Jiang Kuai's courtyard.
Jiang Kuai was cultivating in the courtyard. Su Yuting was embroidering in the gazebo, occasionally looking up.
Chu Li knocked on the door. Jiang Kuai came over and opened the door. He smiled and invited him into the pagoda.
Su Yuting served tea and left.
"Brother Chu, isn't that too cruel?" Jiang Kuai laughed. "Just cripple his martial arts and throw him out. He's done for."
Chu Li smiled. "If he's not a mole, I'll just teach him a lesson to vent my anger."
"Brother Chu, your thunderous methods have frightened many people." Jiang Kuai shook his head and smiled.
A Grandmaster was not an Innate Master. There were only so many of them in the Ji Dynasty, and they could be crippled just like that. It was indeed shocking. The entire Public House had been baptized.
Chu Li said, "Brother Jiang, I have a favor to ask of you."
"Speak," Jiang Kuai said.
"Set off now. Go to the Immortal's Capital and buy three houses. Make sure they're all connected."
"… How big are they?"
"The size doesn't matter. It's best to find a quiet place that won't attract attention."
"… I understand." Jiang Kuai nodded slowly.
It was obvious that it was for hiding. He was the best at hiding and knew what to buy.
"Other than the Immortal's Capital, buy three houses in Qing Yun Town. Buy three houses in Golden Light Town too. "
"… Okay."
"Change your appearance and go quietly." Chu Li said, "I'll move in soon. In the future, Brother Jiang will be the one to deliver the news about me and the Public House."
"No problem." Jiang Kuai nodded.
His biggest advantage was his Light-body Technique and Bone Shrinking Skill. He could change his appearance and was extremely fast. Others would not be able to recognize him.
Chu Li closed fist saluted and smiled. "Once you're back, I'll set off."
"Okay." Jiang Kuai nodded.
Chu Li chatted with him for a while. He got up and left. He went to a small courtyard not far away.

Zhuo Feiyang sat in the pagoda in the courtyard.
He looked at the sky. His heart was gloomy.
As soon as he heard the Public House's call, he was excited and rushed back without stopping.
After he returned, he found out that the person who called him back was his old enemy, his old rival – Chu Li!
Chu Li was now a rank two Scribe, the Chief of Glory's Will Courtyard, and an internal spy. It was the most important department in the Public House and directly reported to Master Xiao Tieying. It was a high position and power.
Looking at Zhuo Feiyang, he was sent to a foreign land and was a rank five Protector. The difference was like heaven and earth.
All of this made him feel extremely disappointed and angry.
How did Chu Li climb to such a high position? It was because he hugged the Third Lady's thigh! It was purely a trick, not a gentleman's action!
He arrived at the Public House yesterday without alerting anyone and did not go to the Martial Arts Hall.
He offended everyone at the Martial Arts Hall. If he went there, he would definitely be ridiculed.
Fortunately, Bai Zhijie was still loyal to him.
When he heard that Chu Li appeared at the Martial Arts Hall, Bai Zhijie rushed over to inform him. He witnessed the scene of Chu Li's power.
After returning from the Martial Arts Hall, he had been thinking.
If he was Le Dongchu or Jing Zhixue, could he resist? Was there a way?
The result made him depressed and angry. He did not even have the strength to fight back!
"Knock knock!" There was a knock on the door.
He went to open the door and saw Chu Li standing outside.
"It's you!" Zhuo Feiyang's face darkened.
Chu Li looked at him.
He was dressed in a sapphire blue robe. His face was as smooth as jade. He was still handsome and charming. His cultivation level was also profound. He was indeed a genius in martial arts.
"What are you doing here!" Zhuo Feiyang scoffed.
Chu Li walked in.
Zhuo Feiyang blocked him with his body. He did not move. "You are not welcome here!"
Chu Li stopped and smiled. "You still don't learn from your mistakes!"
"It's all because of you. You only know how to play tricks!" Zhuo Feiyang scoffed.
Chu Li said, "Zhuo Feiyang, you have been recruited by the Glory's Will Courtyard. Do you accept the call?"
"What do you mean?" Zhuo Feiyang frowned. "I am a Protector of the Public House, not your Scribe. Why should I listen to you?"
Chu Li said, "If you don't accept the call, then go back to where you came from. From now on, you will not have the chance to return to the Public House."
Zhuo Feiyang said coldly, "What do you mean?"
Chu Li shrugged. "You understand."
Zhuo Feiyang's face darkened as he glared at him.
Of course, he understood what Chu Li meant.
If he did not enter the Glory's Will Courtyard, then he could only stay in a remote place and would never have the chance to return. As long as Chu Li was in power, he would never be able to make a name for himself!
Chu Li was rank two, the highest rank in the Public House, and he was still so young. His life was over!
Zhuo Feiyang gritted his teeth. "If I were to enter the Glory's Will Courtyard, you would definitely take revenge on me!"
Chu Li laughed. "Why would I want to take revenge on you? I've already taken my revenge, and it's time to make use of you! You should know how I treat my own people! "
"Do you want me to find out who the traitor is?" Zhuo Feiyang scoffed.
Chu Li was cunning, but he was very kind to his own people, especially the previous scene, which was said to be to help Jiang Kuai vent his anger.
"Go and be the spy!"
"Be a spy?" Zhuo Feiyang furrowed his brows and shook his head. "No way! No way! "
"Zhuo Feiyang, you should know that riches come from danger," Chu Li said. "This is your chance to make a comeback, are you really not going to do it?"
"If I were to perform a meritorious deed, what would I get?" Zhuo Feiyang hesitated and scoffed.
"Return to the Public House, enter the Glory's Will Courtyard, and take charge of a ten-man team," Chu Li said.
Zhuo Feiyang hesitated.
Chu Li walked forward, and Zhuo Feiyang stepped back to make way.
He entered the pagoda and sat down. When Bai Zhijie saw him, his eyes widened and his expression changed.
Chu Li glanced at Bai Zhijie and smiled. "Senior Bai, it's rare to see you stay by my side. Senior Bai, are you going to enter the Glory's Will Courtyard?"
Bai Zhijie looked at Zhuo Feiyang hesitantly.
