"Swoosh!" A light whistled as a ray of cold light shot towards Chu Li.
Chu Li dodged to the side.
"Amitabha …" A loud Buddhist chant came from the forest, echoing through the entire forest.
The monk's voice was heard, "Almsgiver Chu, greetings!"
Chu Li scoffed, "Monk, I spared your life and now you're asking for it?"
"Almsgiver Chu, do you dare to fight me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the monk and the two monks in grey robes appeared. They stood ten meters away from the women and looked up at Chu Li. Their eyes were calm and solemn.
The monk smiled. The two middle-aged monks were expressionless as they stared at Chu Li coldly. Even when they looked up, their eyes were looking down at him as if they were looking at an unworthy disciple.
Chu Li gave Zhao Ying a look and asked her to stay at the side.
He landed five steps away from the monk. One look and he knew these two monks were brothers. Their appearances were ordinary, their bald heads were flat like saucers, and they had the appearance of a Xian Tian master.
Both of them were skinny as if they were malnourished. However, Chu Li could see that their bodies were full of energy. Their cultivation level was not any lower than the monk's. The three of them together could be a fatal threat to him.
The two middle-aged monks looked at Chu Li and then at Zhao Ying and the women. They furrowed their brows in disgust as if they had seen something ugly.
Chu Li knew what they were thinking and shook his head.
They had a deep hatred for these women. Women were the source of all evil, and beautiful women were the source of all disasters. It was no wonder that their martial nephews had fallen. Of course, it was because they lacked self-control, but it was also because these women were too alluring. They were the main culprits!
Chu Li could feel their killing intent towards the women.
"Almsgiver Chu, you are young but your cultivation level is high. I am ashamed. The three of us can only fight together." The monk pressed his palms together and smiled, "If Almsgiver Chu can escape unscathed, I will not bother you anymore. I will turn around and leave."
Chu Li chuckled. The monk's words were just a bait to calm him down and prevent him from escaping.
"Almsgiver Chu, why don't we spar again?" The monk smiled.
Chu Li nodded, "I would like to!"
"Please!" The monk's smile widened. He was filled with killing intent.
The eyes of the two middle-aged monks flickered with killing intent.
The three of them were determined to kill Chu Li no matter what. The three of them could set up the Small Three Talents Formation, which would multiply its power. Even if Chu Li had extraordinary abilities, he would not be able to escape even if he had wings.
Chu Li placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and sighed. "Monk, are you really going to fight to the death?"
"Why do you say that, Mister Chu?" The monk smiled. "It's just a friendly match!"
Chu Li shook his head. He was speechless at the monk's hypocrisy. It was rare for a monk to say one thing but mean another. It was a Buddhist precept that monks did not lie. The monk was just playing around the edges.
Chu Li suddenly raised his hands. "Tsk! Chi! "Two beams of cold light shot out.
The two middle-aged monks suddenly froze. They covered their throats and stared at Chu Li with their eyes wide open. Their faces were filled with disbelief.
"Bang! Bang! " The two of them fell to the ground on their backs, an exquisite flying knife in their throats. Blood gushed out and soaked the dried leaves on the ground.
Chu Li's expression did not change as he looked at the monk.
The smile on the monk's face froze. He looked at the two juniors in disbelief. He then looked at Chu Li. "You … you …"
His face glowed faintly as he channeled the Sentient Menace.
"Amitabha …" The monk placed his palms together and chanted. As soon as he chanted, his expression became serious again. He looked at the juniors on the ground with pity and looked up at Chu Li. "Mister Chu, aren't you afraid of being hunted down by the temple?"
Chu Li smiled. "I'm a Scribe of the Public House. The Tempest Temple can't just barge into the Public House to capture me, right?"
"Will the Public House support you?"
"Of course!"
"Alright … alright, I'll take my leave now!" The monk laughed coldly. He looked at the women and turned to leave.
Chu Li watched as he slowly walked away. He did not chase after him.
The monk held a hidden weapon in his hand under his robe. He was ready to shoot it at the women at any time. If he were to make a move, he would shoot the hidden weapon first to distract himself.
Zhao Ying landed in front of him. She glanced at the two monks on the ground and sighed helplessly. She was afraid that things would escalate to this point. In the end, it was still the worst case scenario.
They were already killed. Now she had to worry about Chu Li's life. She urged, "Brother, hurry up and chase after him. If he escapes, the Tempest Temple will find out!"
Chu Li shook his head. "Forget it. I'll spare his life."
"Brother, how could you be so muddle-headed!" Zhao Ying said anxiously. "We have to catch him. We can't let him leak out any information!"
Chu Li smiled. "The guards of the Public House are not afraid of the Tempest Temple. Let's go!"
The monk did not have the kindness and stupidity of a monk. He was ruthless and unscrupulous. He should not be allowed to live. However, Chu Li had the women with him. He had to send them back to Chong Ming Town first.
Zhao Ying stomped her feet. Her eyes widened. She was anxious and helpless. "Brother, I really don't know what to say about you!"
Chu Li said, "You have to be careful in the future. The Tempest Temple might even hunt you down. It's better if you don't go out!"
"I …" Zhao Ying frowned and slowly nodded.
She was really worried. The Tempest Temple was overbearing. They would definitely accuse her of being an accomplice and hunt her down together. Sigh … What a headache!
She looked at Chu Li and shook her head.
Chu Li smiled. "Don't worry. No matter how overbearing the Tempest Temple is, they won't dare to cause trouble in Chong Ming Town!"
"I hope so!" Zhao Ying sighed.
The women were worried too. They urged them to hurry up and set off. The women left through the night. They arrived at Chong Ming Town the next evening.
The hundreds of horses were imposing. The guard's expression changed. When Chu Li showed him his waist tag, the guard let out a sigh of relief. He smiled apologetically.
The Public House was the boss of Chong Ming Town. The guards of the Public House did not have the right to interfere. They could only let them pass.
More than fifty beauties entered the town. They attracted many gazes. Although they were not the most beautiful, they were all beauties. Everyone around them could find their own type of beauty.
Zhao Ying rushed back to the Public House to look for Li Yue. Chu Li brought them back to the new house.
When they arrived at the house, Li Yue was already waiting with the main door open. Although he knew there were many people, he was still shocked when he saw the fifty beauties. He looked from one to the other. He felt that his eyes were not enough.
"Brother, this … this …" He pulled Chu Li over and whispered, "Where did all these beauties come from?"
Chu Li shook his head and smiled. "We'll talk about it later. Anyway, settle them down."
"Tell me about it first." Li Yue could not suppress his curiosity. "Where did they come from?"
"I'll tell you. Hurry up." Chu Li pushed him.
Li Yue helplessly went forward to greet the women.
He had already familiarized himself with the house for the past two days. He quickly assigned them a place to stay. There were many rooms, but it was not enough for one person to stay in one room. Two people had to squeeze into one room.
Chu Li pulled Zhao Ying over and told her to find a tailor to make two sets of clothes after they had settled down. They would then leave the house to get used to the environment.
Zhao Ying nodded. "No problem. Leave it to me. Brother, where are you going?"
Chu Li said, "To chase after the monk!"
"Is it too late to chase after him now?"
"I'll give it a try."
"How can you catch up?"
"I have to give it a try."
"Then it's better not to go." Zhao Ying shook her head. "We won't be able to catch up. Even if we do, the news will have already been leaked. Why waste our time?"
Chu Li shook his head. "The monk is dangerous. We have to get rid of him!"
"What if he has helpers? It's better to be careful. If he can find two, he can find others." Zhao Ying said.
Chu Li nodded and left without a sound.
Zhao Ying looked at his back and frowned. She was worried. The monks from the Tempest Temple were not to be trifled with!
"Where's my brother?" Li Yue asked. "Sister Zhao, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Zhao Ying hid her worry. "Sorry to trouble you, Brother Li."
"Sigh, it's no big deal. It's an honor to be able to serve so many beauties." Li Yue waved his hand and laughed. "Oh right, Sister Zhao, why are there so many beauties?"
"About that, I'll tell you next time." Zhao Ying smiled.
Li Yue sighed and nodded helplessly. They were all so tight-lipped, but he had a feeling that there was something fishy about the origins of these beauties.
Fortunately, they were all easy-going and did not have any bad tempers.
Chu Li glided out of the city. He did not ride a horse, but instead, he used his Light-body Technique to travel quickly. The gushing spring under his feet kept surging with inner energy from all directions. It was endless, supporting him to use his Light-body Technique to its fullest.
When he reached the forest where they were resting, Chu Li saw the monk's footprints. He used the Omniscient Mirror to search for them and followed the monk's footprints. The Omniscient Mirror covered an area of three miles, so he did not have to stop to search for the monk's footprints.
In the morning, Chu Li arrived at the peak of a mountain. He stopped in front of a stone wall that was more than ten meters tall. There was a cave halfway up the stone wall. The monk was sitting cross-legged in the cave, meditating. Suddenly, he felt Chu Li's approach and opened his eyes.
He quickly poked his head out. Chu Li stood under the stone wall and waved. "Monk, we meet again!"
"Almsgiver Chu, what do you want?" The monk's face darkened. He stood at the entrance of the cave and shouted, "Are you trying to kill me?"
Chu Li said, "Isn't that what you did? I'm just returning it to you! "
