After bidding farewell to the two ladies, he suddenly appeared in the backyard of the Ren Public House.
The sound of a zither could be heard from the back garden. The sound was clear and cheerful. It was obvious that the owner was in a good mood.
Lu Yurong was dressed in white and was playing the zither with her head lowered. Her hair was loose, black and shiny, making her skin look as fair as jade.
Chu Li coughed softly and the sound of the guzheng came to an abrupt stop.
Lu Yurong turned her head and saw that it was him. She smiled sweetly and extended her hand, gesturing for him to sit down.
Chu Li smiled and sat down. "Have you heard the news?"
Lu Yu Rong's information network was not inferior to Siao Shi's, it was even better. The House of High Dukes had a deep foundation and many informants. Lu Yu Rong even had informants from the Secret Guardians Hall. Her methods were outstanding, even if she resigned as the Commander of the Secret Guardians Hall, her trusted aides were still around, just like himself.
"Thank you very much." Lu Yurong stood up and bowed deeply.
Chu Li waved his hand and a gentle inner energy held her up, preventing her from kowtowing. He waved his hand and smiled. "It's what I should do anyway. There's no need to thank me."
"I never thought things would get this big." Lu Yurong sighed.
She heard that Tang Ye had been crippled and his descendants had been cut off, unable to continue. In the future, he would become a cripple and would not be able to have any descendants. He originally did not have any children, so his bloodline could be considered to have been severed.
This made her feel extremely satisfied, but at the same time, she was worried about Chu Li's safety. This had touched Tang Haotian's bottom line, so he had to kill Chu Li at all costs. Killing Chu Li was not against the heavenly rules.
Initially, he had been worried about Chu Li's safety. When he heard that the Fu Dynasty had retreated, he immediately knew that Chu Li should be fine and that Tang Haotian must have suffered a loss. Otherwise, he would not have retreated. Modesty and leniency were not part of the Fu Dynasty's tradition. If Chu Li had really been killed, the Fu Dynasty's border army would definitely invade the Ji Dynasty's interior. This would hurt the Ji Dynasty and greatly damage the Ji Dynasty's vitality. This would serve as a warning to future generations.
Originally, it was just a small matter of Tang Ye liking her and wanting to force her to marry him. In the end, it had escalated to such an extent that the two countries were about to go to war. She had become a femme fatale. No matter how intelligent she was, she had never expected it.
Chu Li smiled. "I didn't expect it to be so serious, or else I wouldn't have agreed to it back then."
Lu Yurong rolled her eyes.
Chu Li said, "We should go back."
"I won't be going back." Lu Yurong hesitated.
Chu Li looked at her in surprise.
Lu Yurong sighed. "The matter has been resolved. If I go back now, Xiao Qi won't be happy."
Chu Li shook his head and smiled. "If you don't go back, things will become more troublesome. You should go there first. Goddess Attraction Mountain is a holy place for cultivation."
He did not ask Lu Yurong to go back because of her beauty, nor was it because he had other thoughts. It was for the sake of justification.
Once the matter was settled, he would not allow Lu Yurong to return to Goddess Attraction Mountain. Everyone would know that the two of them were fakes. They had fooled the whole world. Not to mention others, Zhou Dunli would not be able to face them!
"Are you sure?" Lu Yurong asked.
Chu Li shook his head. "Don't worry."
"That's good." Lu Yurong smiled. "When are we going back?"
"It's best if we leave now," Chu Li said.
"Sure," Lu Yurong agreed without hesitation.

Mount Yimen
Chu Li stood in front of a black bronze bell. He bent his finger and tapped it twice. A faint ringing sound could be heard. It was clearer than the previous time. He felt the prayer flashing in the bell and understood it in his heart.
He was thinking, if he visualized these prayers in his mind and used them directly, would he be able to directly transmit his thoughts to the Outland?
Then, he felt that he was thinking too much. Prayers should not be used like that.
However, he had a feeling that these prayers were not simple. He needed to carefully explore its mysteries. It would definitely surprise him.
Unfortunately, visualizing these prayers was not easy. He was currently focused on cultivating the Dragon Taming Technique. He did not have the time to think about other things. It seemed like he could figure this out in his free time. Who knows, he might gain a lot from it.
This thought flashed in his mind. Suddenly, he heard a dragon's roar in his mind. It was followed by the dragon's body. Then, a huge and mighty force pressed down on him like a mountain. He could not help but want to bend his knees and fall to the ground.
The sky shone faintly in a golden light. It was faintly discernible in the beginning. Later, the golden light became brighter and brighter. Finally, a real dragon appeared.
This dragon rode on the clouds and roamed in the sky. Soon, it reached the top of his head. Zhou Dunli floated down from the dragon's body.
The real dragon roared and soared into the sky. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the clouds.
Chu Li stared at the dragon. He used the Omniscient Mirror to observe it. He wanted to see its interior so that it would be more beneficial for cultivating the Dragon Taming Technique. Unfortunately, the dragon looked slow but its speed was unimaginably fast.
If he did not have the Omniscient Mirror, it would have disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Zhou Dunli was still looking at him kindly. He nodded in satisfaction, "Li Er, why did you call me back?"
Chu Li closed fist saluted, "Did you teach Tang Haotian a lesson?"
Zhou Dunli waved his hand and smiled, "I did not do anything."
Chu Li looked at him in confusion.
This was strange. If Zhou Dunli did not do anything, Tang Haotian would not be so obedient.
"I only gave him a few warnings. I did not let him act recklessly," Zhou Dunli said with a smile.
"Thank you, Master!" Chu Li realized. He was right.
Zhou Dunli said, "You were too rash this time. But you're a young man. It's not a big deal. Next time, remember to think carefully before you act. Don't act recklessly. Your life is very precious. You should cherish it more than others!"
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
Zhou Dunli said seriously, "I'm not joking. You should know that there are very few disciples in Goddess Attraction Mountain. It's better that you're here. In the past, there was only one disciple. If you die and the inheritance ends because of you, you'll be a sinner. Even if you go to the Grandmaster's Boundary, you won't have a good life!"
Chu Li's expression became serious. He nodded, "Yes, I'll be careful in the future."
"Your priority from now on is not to win, but to retreat in one piece." Zhou Dunli said, "As long as you don't die, you'll be an Enlightened Master. You'll be able to take revenge no matter what!"
"Yes." Chu Li nodded.
Zhou Dunli smiled. "Li Er, you're good at everything. You're also talented. Unfortunately, you're too greedy for women!"
He could tell that Chu Li had reached the second level of the Dragon Taming Technique.
This time, he was severely injured by Tang Haotian, but it was obviously a blessing in disguise, and he had improved a level. This kind of luck and aptitude was really rare in the world, Dong Jianxin was far inferior to him, and it seemed that the next Heavenly Deity position was already in his pocket.
"Master, I teamed up with the Saint of the Holy Church of Light to deal with Tang Haotian. He won't take revenge on the Holy Church of Light, right?" Chu Li asked embarrassedly.
"Sigh." Zhou Dunli shook his head and looked at him pitifully.
Chu Li was confused. He did not know why he was like that.
Zhou Dunli shook his head and sighed.
Chu Li was scared. "Did Tang Haotian take revenge on the Holy Church of Light?"
"Well …" Zhou Dunli shook his head. "No."
Chu Li asked, "Then why are you sighing?"
"I'm sad for you," Zhou Dunli said.
