"Bang!" Hu Tiexia punched the stone table, leaving a palm print. w.23
Chu Li remained calm and collected, but he was secretly surprised. He did not expect the Ultimate Temple's palm technique to be so brilliant. Such a pure palm energy was not something that could be displayed by a pure disciple of a sword faction. It seemed like the Ultimate Temple had another antique study.
The eight major sects of the Fu Dynasty were not to be underestimated.
"Junior Brother, there's nothing wrong with bearing it." Song Jin said, "Haven't we been bearing it all these years?"
"It's because I've endured for so long that I can't take it anymore!" Hu Tiexia said, "In the beginning, we tolerated it for the sake of the big picture, but as we endured it again and again, we lost our drive and vigor. If this goes on, our bones will be bent, and we won't be able to straighten them again!"
"Junior Brother!" Song Jin's face darkened.
Hu Tiexia said without a care, "Anyway, I can't take it anymore. If Senior Brothers don't do it, I'll do it myself!"
Chu Li remained silent.
Song Jin said, "Could it be that you want to implicate us?"
"Senior Brother!" Hu Tiexia's face was ashen. "Are we going to endure this forever?"
"If one lifetime doesn't work, then two lifetimes." Song Jin said coldly, "Enduring a moment of humiliation and planning for the future, it's not that difficult!"
"Bang!" Hu Tiexia slammed her palm on the stone table again, leaving a clear palm print.
Chu Li could tell that the Ultimate Temple was plotting something big. Otherwise, there was no need for them to tolerate it.
"Cough!" He coughed lightly and said, "Seniors, you don't have to fight anymore. Don't worry, leave this matter to me. I will go and avenge Young Master Zhou!"
"Seeking revenge?" Hu Tiexia looked at him.
Chu Li nodded. "I'll depart for the Church of the Divine Blood tomorrow. I'll fight my way up to their doorstep and destroy their reputation!"
"Nonsense!" Hu Tiexia said angrily, "Is the Divine Blood Church really that easy to deal with? Why do we have to endure so much?"
Chu Li smiled. "I'm different from your sect. If I endure humiliation, the Church of the Divine Blood will retaliate even more fiercely. If I don't want to be retaliated, I can only hurt the Church of the Divine Blood so that they won't dare to come to me!"
"Sigh, the Ji Dynasty is still too weak." Hu Tiexia nodded.
Chu Li sighed. "It can't be helped. You don't have to be anxious, Senior Hu. Just wait for my good news. Even if we can't destroy the Church of the Divine Blood, we can still fight with a few masters and weaken their strength. It won't be too late for your sect to make a move then."
"How could we take advantage of you!" Hu Tiexia snorted.
Chu Li smiled. "It doesn't matter if your sect is going to fight or not, I'm going to fight anyway. How can you talk about taking advantage of me!"
"Chu Li, I really admire your heroism!" Hu Tiexia shook her head and sighed.
Chu Li shook his head and smiled. "It's not heroism, it's just a helpless struggle."
"Alright, Junior Brother, Chu Li must be tired from the long journey. Let him have a good rest." Song Jin stood up.
Hu Tiexia reluctantly got up and left with Song Jin.
The two of them left the courtyard and returned to the main hall of the Taoist temple.
Lu Songren was sitting on a praying mat in the middle of the hall with his eyes closed. Behind him were the statues of the Three Pure Ones.
Lu Songren opened his eyes and asked, "How is it?"
Song Jin said, "You don't look like you're faking it, and you're not trying to sow discord either. I really want to avenge Haodong!"
Hu Tiexia nodded. "He's a determined fellow. It's not entirely a fluke that he has such achievements at such a young age."
Lu Songren nodded. "Let's wait for the news to come back."
"He really doesn't know that Haodong is looking for trouble with him?" Song Jin frowned. "He can't be that muddle-headed, right?"
"He didn't lie. Haodong was murdered by Bao Fang before he could even meet him!" Hu Tiexia scoffed. "Instead, he misunderstood and thought that Haodong was really trying to save his wife."
"It's a freak accident." Song Jin shook his head and sighed. "Haodong is really unlucky!"
As one of the eight major sects, the Ultimate Temple had their own secret technique to sense the life and death of their core disciples. They knew the moment Zhou Haodong died, but they pretended not to know. They wanted to see what Chu Li was up to.
They had other thoughts about Chu Li, which was why they went through so much trouble.
Zhou Haodong was supposed to be a pillar of the future, but he died in the Great Ji Dynasty. It was a huge loss, and it also destroyed the hope of the Ultimate Temple for the next hundred years. The death of a leading master had a huge impact.
They had investigated the incident clearly, but because no one had seen it personally, they could only guess. They verified it with what Chu Li said, and there was no falsehood.
"Temple Leader, are we really not going to fight the Church of the Divine Blood?" Hu Tiexia could not help but ask.
Half of it was an act, and the other half was his real thoughts. He really wanted to get rid of the Church of the Divine Blood. He had tolerated them for a long time, and it was time to settle the score.
Lu Songren shook his head. "It's not time yet!"
"Then when is the time?" Hu Tiexia asked.
Lu Songren said, "The Church of the Divine Blood is not at the end of the road yet. They are now injured beasts, and their retaliation is the craziest. It's not good to provoke them. Let someone else do it!"
"I'm afraid that everyone has the same thought, that they want someone else to provoke them," Hu Tiexia said. "In the end, they'll be able to breathe!"
"We'll talk about it when the time comes," Lu Songren said. "Is Chu Li worth it?"
"He's a genius." Song Jin nodded. "But it's not that easy to rope him in. He's determined, and he's very sentimental. He might not leave the Public House and come to our Ultimate Temple!"
"What kind of martial arts do we practice, and what kind of martial arts does he practice!" Hu Tiexia scoffed. "I don't believe that he won't be tempted."
Song Jin shook his head. "He might be tempted, but he might not leave everything behind."
"Then let's observe and see," Lu Songren said. "We can't rush it."
The other two nodded.
This was a serious matter, and they had to consider it carefully. They could not be too hasty.

The next morning, Lu Songren was meditating in the basilica when Hu Tiexia hurried over. "Temple Leader!"
"What is it?" Lu Songren slowly opened his eyes and looked at him with dissatisfaction. His behavior was indeed not peaceful, and he was impetuous and unstable.
Hu Tiexia quickly said, "Chu Li left!"
"Where did he go?" Lu Songren asked.
"He might have gone to the Church of the Divine Blood!" Hu Tiexia quickly said, "I didn't expect that kid to be so stupid!"
"His courage is commendable." Lu Songren nodded and closed his eyes again.
"Aren't you worried that he won't return?" Hu Tiexia said.
Lu Songren said, "If he really has such a short life, why worry?"
"Alright, I'll secretly observe, how about it?" Hu Tiexia said.
"Don't get too close," Lu Songren said.
Hu Tiexia nodded excitedly.
He turned around and left in a hurry. He did not take anything with him and immediately used his Light-body Technique to descend the mountain. He traveled all the way, and after three days, he had traveled nearly ten thousand miles and arrived at the foot of the Blood God Peak. He wanted to see if Chu Li had come.
When he arrived at the foot of the Blood God Peak, he saw that the entrance of the Blood God Peak was in a mess. More than ten disciples of the Church of the Divine Blood were lying motionless on the ground.
He was shocked. He thought to himself that it could not be that fast. Could it be that Chu Li rushed over and directly attacked them without resting? That was too arrogant!
