"Ahh-!" Tang Ye struck out with his palms like a madman. The surrounding broken trees flew into the air, and sand and pebbles flew everywhere.
Twenty people struggled to stand up. Their cultivation was crippled, but they weren't injured. They just didn't have any strength left, and their bodies were rapidly aging. Some of them couldn't even walk anymore. Their lifespans were about to end, and they might never have the chance to return to the King's Mansion.
Tang Ye glared at them and said hatefully, "You're all useless!"
Xu Shixing smiled bitterly. "Your Royal Highness, we're one step behind again. I didn't expect Xiao Qi to be so difficult to deal with!"
"You're all useless!" Tang Ye scoffed.
Xu Shixing nodded helplessly.
In actuality, they were the ones who were weaker than Xiao Qi. They did not expect Xiao Qi to be so powerful.
Although Xiao Qi was both beautiful and skilled in martial arts, it was mostly because of her beauty and noble status. Not many people had experienced her martial arts and she did not have much of a reputation. Therefore, people subconsciously ignored her and thought that she was just an ordinary Grandmaster.
They did not expect Xiao Qi's martial arts to be so strong that it was even better than theirs.
Because of this, when they attacked with all their strength, they still didn't succeed. If they knew she was so powerful, they would have used their secret techniques to kill her in one strike. Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world, so it was useless to talk about this anymore.
Xu Shixing said, "Your Royal Highness, be careful. Chu Li wants to kill Your Royal Highness!"
"Hmph, he doesn't have the guts!" Tang Ye sneered.
Xu Shixing shook his head.
From Chu Li's expression, he could tell that Chu Li was determined to kill him. He was just waiting for the right opportunity. Who knew, he might kill him the next time.

Chu Li stood at the foot of the Stargazing Peak and looked up at the Stargazing Pavilion.
Two disciples of the Stargazing Pavilion floated over and cupped their fists. "What can I do for you, Mister?"
Chu Li gave a fist salute and smiled. "I'm Chu Li from the Ji Dynasty. I'm here to meet Young Master Li Xinghe!"
"Senior Martial Brother Li?" The two were startled. They shook their heads and said, "Senior Martial Brother Li is not here."
"Oh?" Chu Li smiled. "You're not at the Stargazing Pavilion?"
"Yes," the two said.
A young man said, "Two days ago, Senior Brother Li left the Stargazing Pavilion and said that he wanted to travel the world and see all the mountains and rivers in order to expand his horizons and cultivation base."
Chu Li nodded. "If that's the case, you can't find him?"
The two of them shook their heads.
Chu Li frowned. "I have something urgent to discuss with him. It's about the Third Prince, Tang Ye. How can I contact him?"
"Young Master Chu, we are truly sorry. There's nothing we can do," the two of them said apologetically.
However, Chu Li knew that they were being perfunctory. As a disciple of the sect, how could he not be contacted by the sect? They were just making excuses. It seemed like Li Xinghe had predicted that Chu Li would come looking for him, so he avoided him in advance.
Chu Li nodded and said, "If that's the case, then forget it. If Young Master Li returns, please tell him that I've come to look for him. I have something to discuss with him. It's about the Heaven Power Compass."
"Yes." The two of them were startled, but they quickly nodded in agreement.
Chu Li gave a fist salute and left.
He walked a mile away and disappeared in the blink of an eye. The next moment, he appeared in a magnificent mansion.
The Omniscient Mirror scanned the entire residence.
He flashed again and appeared in an exquisite and elegant bedroom. Looking at the sickly Xu Shixing on the bed, he shook his head and sighed. "It's really pitiful to follow such a fickle and heartless prince."
Xu Shixing was covered with an emerald brocade quilt. His face was as pale as paper as he opened his lifeless eyes. When he saw that it was Chu Li, his eyes widened.
Chu Li took out a porcelain bottle from his inner pocket and poured out a pill to stuff into Xu Shixing's mouth.
Xu Shixing struggled violently and messed up the quilt with his hands. He did not want to swallow the pill, but Chu Li poked him with his finger and he froze. The pill in his throat turned into a stream of clear air and entered his abdomen, merging with his Dantian.
His empty Dantian immediately felt warm. The initial chill had dissipated, and warmth spread from the inside out. Hot air slowly rose and went straight to the top of his head. Then, his Baihui Acupoint opened and spiritual energy flowed into his head again. As it circulated in his body, his cultivation level was rapidly recovering.
A moment later, the joints all over his body were cracking non-stop, like the sound of beans being fried.
"Teng." He sat up straight, his eyes gleaming like a sword.
Chu Li nodded in satisfaction and smiled. "How is it? Has your cultivation level recovered? "
"You." Xu Shixing stared at him in disbelief. "Why are you doing this?"
Chu Li smiled. "You know."
"Impossible!" Xu Shixing flatly refused.
Chu Li said, "Don't worry, I'm not asking you to be a spy. I don't need one to kill Tang Ye!"
"Then what are you going to do?" Xu Shixing stared at him cautiously.
The feeling of regaining something that he had lost made him wild with excitement. If it were not for Chu Li, he would have howled at the sky, danced around, or gotten drunk to congratulate Chu Li.
He was secretly afraid. He did not want to experience the feeling of losing his martial arts again. It was like being in hell, an unspeakable pain.
Chu Li said, "Li Xinghe."
"Li Xinghe is even more terrifying!" Xu Shixing shook his head.
Chu Li looked at him indifferently. "Then I'll have to cripple your martial arts."
Xu Shixing quickly asked, "Then how do we deal with Li Xinghe?"
Chu Li said, "His Stargazing Technique can predict fortune and evade danger. When I went to look for him, he had already avoided me."
"What a cunning fellow." Xu Shixing scoffed. "None of his plans worked for His Royal Highness!"
Chu Li asked, "Are his predictions inaccurate?"
"They're accurate, but they're useless," Xu Shixing said angrily.
Chu Li said, "You can't blame him for your incompetence. How did he predict my wife's whereabouts?"
"This …" Xu Shixing hesitated. He felt a chill when he saw Chu Li's indifferent gaze. He quickly said, "He couldn't predict it at first, but His Royal Highness gave him the Heavenly Astra Jade Badge and he was able to."
Chu Li pondered. "The Heavenly Astra Jade Badge, the Church of the Divine Blood's Heavenly Astra Badge!"
"That's right." Xu Shixing nodded. "His Royal Highness went to the Church of the Divine Blood to exchange for it. He used it to make Li Xinghe work for him."
"No wonder he got involved." Chu Li came to a realization.
Li Xinghe was the youth champion of Stargazing Pavilion. He was arrogant and looked down on Tang Ye from the bottom of his heart. It was not difficult for him to avoid Tang Ye. The reason why he was willing to come up with a plan was because of benefits.
Li Xinghe had coveted the Heavenly Astra Jade Badge for too long. Finally, he obtained it and it was indeed useful.
He wanted to take a look at this Heavenly Astra Jade Badge!
He was suddenly very interested in obtaining this Heavenly Astra Jade Badge. He wanted to teach Li Xinghe a lesson and shut him up, but now he had other thoughts. This Heavenly Astra Jade Badge could be considered as making up for his loss!
Chu Li said, "How about this, in exchange, you give me the Heaven's Power Compass."
"Ah?!" Xu Shixing was stunned. He quickly shook his head. "I can't steal it. It's in the Imperial Family's secret vault!"
"It's not in the Imperial Residence?" Chu Li asked.
Xu Shixing shook his head. "His Royal Highness hasn't gotten it back."
Chu Li said, "Then encourage Tang Ye to quickly take it out and steal it for me."
"This …" Xu Shixing hesitated.
Chu Li said, "It seems like you don't want to recover your martial arts. Forget it, I'll get someone else to help!"
He raised his palm and was about to slap it down.
"Wait!" Xu Shixing quickly said.
Chu Li looked at him with a faint smile.
Xu Shixing sighed. "Alright, I'll try."
