"Yue Jintao?" Chu Li did not stop moving as he asked, "Did you find Yue Jintao?"
"No." Xue shook her head. Xue Ling shook her head. "It's only based on the sword technique. It's Yue Jintao's Duan Li Sword Technique. The Jingmen Association usually deals in illicit salt. Their methods are tyrannical and they've done a lot of exterminations. Since they're a low-level gang, the Public House doesn't care."
"Did they exterminate the Jingmen Association?"
"Not the Jingmen Association, but the Jingmen Faction." Xue said, "The Jingmen Association was the periphery of the Jingmen Faction. However, the Jingmen Faction did not commit any evil deeds. The Public House could not deal with them because of the Jingmen Association!"
Chu Li shook his head.
This was the helplessness of the Public House.
In order to limit the Public House's influence, the founder set up many rules.
Over the years, the martial arts factions had studied these rules thoroughly and found loopholes. The Jingmen Association and the Jingmen Faction was an example.
No matter how wise the founder was, he was only one person. These martial arts factions had hundreds of millions of people. How could the wisdom of hundreds of millions of people be inferior to the founder and could not find loopholes?
The Public House could only abide by these rules even though they knew it was not right.
Xue said, "In the end, the Duan Lidao destroyed them!"
"Isn't that satisfying?" Chu Li said.
Xue shook her head. "It is satisfying but we still have to catch the Duan Lidao."
Chu Li said, "Master Xiao Tieying sent someone?"
"Yes, there was no news." Xue said, "The Duan Lidao is a senior master. His knife technique is unique. It is said that he is comparable to Master!"
Chu Li glanced at her.
Xue smiled embarrassedly. "Master, I was wrong. I should not have mentioned your name! But Master, when are you going to reveal your true identity? "
Chu Li shook his head. "I will not say before I die."
Xue sighed. "You are famous. If everyone knows that you are the White Shroud Shendao, it will be much easier for Master!"
Chu Li said, "This identity has other uses."
"Sigh … I am stupid. I don't think too much." Xue said, "But it is too stifling."
"What is there to stifle?" Chu Li smiled. "My ambition is not in the martial arts world. What is the use of being famous!"
"… Alright. I'll obey, "Xue Ling sighed helplessly.
She decided to seal her mouth. Every time she heard people talking about the White Shroud Shendao, saying how powerful and mysterious he was. She had a strong urge to announce that the White-Robed Shendao was her Young Master. She resisted the urge and felt her heart itch.
The next day. Xue Ling sent another piece of news. Another clan had been annihilated by the Duan Lidao.
"Young Master, this time Duan Lidao left a message in the Flowing Moon Sect." Xue Ling's face tightened and she scoffed, "He wants to fight to the death with you, Young Master. If Young Master doesn't look for him, he will destroy another faction!"
"Looking for me?" Chu Li did not stop swinging his sword. He was still slowly practicing the Seven Forms of Godly Sword.
As expected, Duan Lidao did not deal with Leisure Cloud Pub and Xue Ling as King An had said. Instead, he directly provoked the House of High Dukes. Challenging him, forcing him to show himself.
"Master Xiao Tieying will definitely not let him fight with you. He will get someone to deal with him first!" Xue Ling said, "What right does he have to challenge you, Master!"
Chu Li said, "Did he leave any other message?"
Xue Ling hesitated for a moment and said helplessly, "There were some who scolded you. They said that you relied on the Third Lady's favor to become a rank two Scribe. You have no real ability at all."
Chu Li's face darkened. It was fine if they scolded him. His skin was thicker than the city wall. He did not care about the scolding, but he dared to scold Xiao Qi as well!
"He also said. Young Master, you are not fit to be the Chief of the House of High Dukes. Young Master, your martial arts skills are mediocre. Just because you caught the Third Lady's eyes, you can suddenly rise to a high position. The House of High Dukes is getting more and more corrupted. It should not exist anymore. The House of High Dukes should be dissolved! "
Chu Li's face darkened.
Xue Ling shook her head, "In short, his scolding was very unpleasant."
Chu Li said, "If I don't accept the challenge and can't defeat him, my reputation will be ruined. Am I right? "
Xue Ling remained silent.
"And I will have to deal with him myself!" Chu Li said lightly, "I can't rely on the House of High Dukes. Otherwise, the world will laugh at me again, am I right?"
"Sigh …" Xue Ling sighed and said hatefully, "This Yue Ling is too cruel!"
"Alright, I will fight him myself!" Chu Li said.
"Young Master, do you really want to go?" Xue Ling frowned, "What if …"
"Afraid that I can't defeat him?"
"He is almost ninety years old. He has been cultivating for much longer than you, Young Master." Xue Ling frowned, "And he has been famous for many years. He has never been defeated. He is a very scary master!"
"Then let's try."
"I will go with you, Young Master. I will be your sword!"
"You …?" Chu Li shook his head, "You will be a burden if you go. I can still run if I can't defeat him."
"This time, he wants to kill you, Young Master." Xue Ling said hatefully, "He is forcing you to fight with your life because he is afraid that you will run away. How cruel!"
She could see through Yue Jintao's intentions but most people in the martial arts world could not. They only thought that Yue Jintao was simply challenging Chu Li and was waiting to watch the show.
Chu Li said, "It is still uncertain who will win and who will lose."
Xue Ling looked at him and sighed.
Although Young Master was a genius, he had only been cultivating for a short period of time. He had just stepped into the Grandmaster's Boundary not long ago. How could he be compared to the old man who had been in the Grandmaster's Boundary for decades?
This Duan Lidao had been famous for decades. There were many people who wanted to kill him but he was still alive. It was enough to prove how powerful and scary he was.
Although Young Master was powerful, it was better to be safe than sorry.
"I don't think Master Xiao Tieying will agree," Xue Ling said.
Chu Li shook his head, "Secretly get the news."
"Master!" Xue Ling said.
Chu Li said, "Go!"
Xue Ling stomped her feet but did not dare to disobey. She turned around and went out to get the news.
—
The sun was shining brightly and brightly.
Beside the Li River.
Chu Li stood on a huge rock beside the Li River. He looked at the surging river under the rock and felt the never-ending flow of the river.
Duan Lidao's challenge had ignited his fighting spirit. The blood in his bones was boiling.
He also wanted to see for himself how far his swordsmanship had reached and whether he was a first-rate master or a second-rate master in the martial arts world.
After these days of intensive research, the Seven Forms of Divine Blade had completely transformed into the Seven Forms of Godly Sword.
"Chu Li?" A middle-aged man slowly walked over. He wore a bamboo hat and a straw cape. He held a fishing rod in his hand and looked like a guest who came to the river to fish.
"Yue Jintao?" Chu Li's gaze fell on the long blade on his waist.
Yue Jintao took off his straw cape and bamboo hat. He held the long blade in his hand, "You've got guts!"
His face was like jade and he was extraordinarily handsome. His body was tall and straight. Even though he held the blade, he did not look like someone who practiced martial arts. He looked more like a scholar.
Chu Li's heart sank. This was a master who had completely restrained his essence and spirit. His cultivation was profound and he was a true Oneness of Nature master.
Chu Li said, "You want to kill me on behalf of Prince An?"
"Prince An?" Yue Jintao said lightly, "It seems like you already know. That's right, I want to kill you!"
"Regardless of whether I'm good or evil, you want to kill me?" Chu Li said.
Yue Jintao slowly pulled out his blade and said coldly, "You're from the House of High Duke. Regardless of whether you're good or evil, I want to kill you!"
Chu Li held the Modesty Sword, "They say you only kill evil people. You don't live up to your name!"
