Chu Li shook his head. "Without the Emperor's decree, I don't want to recover my martial arts."
"You're quite ambitious." Leng Wufeng hid his hands in his sleeves and sized him up. "You're afraid that I'll order you into the Inner Mausoleum, aren't you?"
"Yes." Chu Li nodded. "I want to return to Fairy's Capital."
Leng Wufeng shook his head and laughed. He paced back and forth in the basilica and turned to look at Chu Li from time to time.
Chu Li looked at him calmly.
Leng Wufeng suddenly stopped and asked, "I heard that you and King An are like fire and water?"
Chu Li replied, "King An tried everything he could to get rid of me."
"You must be furious, right?" Leng Wufeng asked, "You think he's narrow-minded and intolerant, right?"
Chu Li answered, "Yes."
"And then?" Leng Wufeng asked, "How did you deal with King An?"
"I secretly crippled his martial arts." Chu Li answered honestly, "So that he would behave himself and not harm me."
Leng Wufeng frowned and scoffed. "How dare you!"
Chu Li asked, "Your Majesty, do you think that I should just wait for my death?"
"Hmm, that's true. You're considered a God's favored one, so you must look down on King An, right?" Leng Wufeng said indifferently. Chu Li could not see his expression.
Chu Li said, "That's right, he really can't be assisted, he's useless!"
Leng Wufeng asked, "Then why did you kill him?"
Chu Li was stunned. "Killed King An?"
Leng Wufeng nodded slowly. "Chu Li, I know that you killed King An."
Chu Li shook his head. "Your Majesty, you've wronged me. Why would I kill him? If I don't want to see him, I can just cripple him!"
"You can't cripple him now," Leng Wufeng said.
Chu Li smiled. "Your Majesty, that's interesting. Since I can kill him, of course, I can cripple him too. But if I can't, how can I kill him?"
"Hehe, that's interesting." Leng Wufeng could not help but laugh and extended his hand.
Chu Li felt a strong force pulling him up and into Leng Wufeng's hand.
Chu Li did not know any martial arts, so of course he could not resist. He could only let him grab his arm and touch his wrist.
A clear and cold aura instantly drilled into his body, circling around his internal organs, dantian, and meridians. Everything in his body seemed to be clearly seen.
Although an Enlightened Master did not have a divine power like the Omniscient Mirror, it was not difficult for Leng Wufeng to see through Leng Wufeng's body with his inner energy.
Chu Li's heart tightened. He did not know if the Life and Death Scripture could be concealed.
Through the Life and Death Scripture, he had hidden all his martial arts. Now, his entire body was empty, no different from a person who had his martial arts crippled.
Leng Wufeng looked at him with a frown and shook his head. "No wonder you have such a reputation. You're truly gifted and rare!"
He saw that Chu Li's physique was shockingly high.
His meridians were wide and thick, even more so than a Grandmaster's. His muscles were tight, and it was obvious that he had a body full of extraordinary strength. He could be considered to be born with extraordinary strength.
Meridians existed in the body and relied more on inner energy. Ordinary people's meridians were not wide, and it was vital energy that circulated, which could not change the meridians.
Inner energy, on the other hand, could expand and thicken the meridians. However, once inner energy disappeared, the wide meridians would slowly degenerate and return to the level before he learned martial arts.
Since Chu Li had been crippled of his martial arts for so long, theoretically, his meridians should have recovered to the level before he learned martial arts.
Now that his meridians were wider than a Grandmaster's, it could only mean that he was born with such a wide meridians. This would save him a lot of effort and energy, and his cultivation would progress at an unbelievable speed.
He suddenly understood why Chu Li had risen so quickly. It was obviously because of his amazing talent.
Leng Wufeng looked at Chu Li and shook his head.
Chu Li's aptitude was indeed enviable. Leng Wufeng could not even compare to him. Back then, it took him a lot of effort to become a Grandmaster.
"I was lucky enough to eat a strange fruit, but I still don't know what it is." Chu Li secretly sighed in relief. It seemed like the Emperor did not notice his Life and Death Scripture. The Life and Death Scripture was indeed mysterious and worth cultivating. Unfortunately, he still did not know the cultivation method of the Life and Death Scripture.
"Oh …?" Leng Wufeng smiled. It was no wonder he had such aptitude. He asked, "Do you know Du Feng?"
As he spoke, his body suddenly emitted an endless force that pressed down on Chu Li as if it was real.
Chu Li's face instantly turned red.
He dared not channel his inner energy, nor did he dare to circulate the void in his mind. He could only endure it as he felt like Leng Wufeng was going to kill him.
It was true that he was important, but if Leng Wufeng suspected him, he would kill him without holding back at all. After all, his status and identity were useless in front of Leng Wufeng.
Facing someone like Leng Wufeng, only powerful martial arts and becoming an Enlightened Master could make him hesitate.
Chu Li's endless desire to become an Enlightened Master was born again. He decided to become an Enlightened Master as soon as possible so that he could teach this fellow a lesson.
Leng Wufeng stared at his eyes indifferently as if he was waiting to see how Chu Li would react.
Even though Chu Li cursed him in his heart and wanted to slap him, he could only frown and bear with it. He dared not use any other methods. His vision darkened.
However, Leng Wufeng had no intention of stopping and only watched him indifferently.
He had a feeling that there was something wrong with Chu Li. Even if he was not his son's murderer, he must be hiding something. Leng Wufeng wanted to know what he was hiding.
"Of course, I know Du Feng." Chu Li gritted his teeth.
Leng Wufeng asked, "What do you think of this person?"
Chu Li felt an increasingly powerful force surging toward him as if it was going to crush him into pieces. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Your Majesty, are you going to kill me?"
"You killed King An, didn't you?" Leng Wufeng asked.
Chu Li sneered. "I wanted to kill him, but he's your son, Your Majesty. I can only cripple him but not kill him. This time, I'm powerless, or I would've crippled him again!"
"You didn't kill him?" Leng Wufeng asked.
He would not believe everything anyone said. He believed 70% of it and 30% of it, but he did not think that Chu Li was lying.
Chu Li scoffed. "I didn't!"
Leng Wufeng said, "It doesn't matter. You're going to die anyway."
Chu Li frowned. "Why do you want to kill me?"
"I'm fulfilling King An's wish. You're going to become his inner demon soon, so he has to kill you. He couldn't fulfill his wish when he was alive, so as his father, I'm helping him!" Leng Wufeng said.
Chu Li looked lost as if he was about to pass out.
In this state, one's willpower was at its weakest, and one's mind was no longer clear. Thus, one would speak their mind.
Chu Li swayed and sneered. "So, there's a reason why King An is so narrow-minded!"
Leng Wufeng frowned. "Are you saying that I'm narrow-minded?"
"Who's King An! Even when he makes things difficult for me, I still do my best for the Imperial Residence. I've done my best as a subordinate, but he still wants to kill me! " Chu Li's expression was blank, but his lips curled into a sneer. "A Royal Highness like this still wants to fight for the throne. What a joke!"
"Everyone wants to fight for the throne," Leng Wufeng said.
