"Haha, to think that Centurion Chu would have such a day.
His voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, but everyone around him was a Grandmaster with a profound cultivation level, so they heard him clearly.
Chu Li glanced at the old man with a smile and sighed. Old man, don't tell me that I'm so unpopular with everyone that they want to see me suffer? "
Then? The old man was slightly embarrassed and closed fist saluted without saying a word.
When Chu Li was in the Secret Guardians Hall, he was gentle and warm to everyone. There was nothing much to say, and he almost never offended anyone. The only person he offended was Chen Donghai, and he had nothing to do with the other secret guardians.
Nonetheless, his rise to fame still greatly stimulated the secret guardians in the Secret Guardians Hall, and they lamented that they had lived in vain.
Meng Xiaoqi's face gradually darkened when he saw Chu Li chatting and laughing without changing his expression.
Could it be that a Grandmaster could really defeat an Enlightened Master?
A Grandmaster could only kill an Enlightened Master by luck, or when the Enlightened Master was at his weakest, or by using other tricks. In short, a Grandmaster facing an Enlightened Master was like seawater facing a reef. No matter how profound one's cultivation level was, one could not withstand an Enlightened Master's inner energy.
This was common sense, a rule that everyone knew and could not violate. Could Chu Li have broken this rule?
Chu Li looked up at Meng Xiaoqi and carefully sized him up.
Even though Meng Xiaoqi was right in front of him, he still felt that Meng Xiaoqi was covered by a layer of white veil. It was hazy, and he could not see clearly. It gave him a strange feeling, and he wanted to lift the white veil to see clearly.
Meng Xiaoqi frowned and asked, "Head Chief, did you find out if it's real or not?"
Chu Li shook his head. "Unfortunately, this gold plate is fake. The Emperor's Enlightened Master's inner energy shouldn't be so weak."
As he spoke, he gently squeezed it.
Instantly, a finger print appeared on the gold plate as if it was branded on it. The word "Pardon" turned into the word "Chi".
Meng Xiaoqi's eyes narrowed, and he stared at the finger print.
As shrewd as he was, his expression could not help but change.
This was a badge that belonged to an Enlightened Master. Not only did it contain the Enlightened Master's inner energy, but it also contained a trace of the Enlightened Master's Field and the pressure of an Enlightened Master. It could completely suppress a Grandmaster.
Leng Wufeng had especially given him this badge to use against Chu Li, but he did not expect Chu Li to break the badge so easily.
This was no different from fighting Leng Wufeng face to face. Once the two of them fought, Chu Li could easily suppress Leng Wufeng, which was beyond his imagination. 'Is there such a strange person in this world?'
He was also sizing Chu Li up.
The two of them looked at each other, and the atmosphere froze.
After a while, Chu Li broke the silence and said with a smile, "The gold plate is fake. Commander Meng, are you still going to force your way into my residence?"
"Of course!" Meng Xiaoqi said solemnly.
At this point, he had no choice but to act.
Chu Li shook his head and could not help but laugh. "I think Commander Meng should think about it more, lest you humiliate yourself!"
"The Secret Guardians Hall will never retreat. Even if we're no match for them, we won't retreat at the last minute!" Meng Xiaoqi scoffed.
Chu Li smiled. "That's not what the Secret Guardians Hall should be doing. The key to being a secret guardian isn't to kill but to explore. Commander Meng, aren't you turning the Secret Guardians Hall into the protectors of the imperial house?"
Meng Xiaoqi's expression was solemn. "That's the Secret Guardians Hall of the past. From today onwards, the Secret Guardians Hall will be different."
Chu Li said, "You want to overthrow the tradition of the Secret Guardians Hall as soon as you take office. Commander Meng, you're really swift and decisive. I'm impressed!"
He smiled and closed fist saluted. His sarcasm was obvious.
Meng Xiaoqi sneered. "Since the Head Chief insists on standing in the way of the Secret Guardians Hall, then we can only offend you. All secret guardians, listen up. Immediately enter King An's Imperial Residence and search for the disciples of the Holy Church of Light. If you encounter any resistance, kill without mercy!"
"Yes!" Everyone responded loudly.
Chu Li squinted his eyes and chuckled. "Kill without mercy!"
Meng Xiaoqi said, "Head Chief, you're forcing me to do this!"
Chu Li said, "That depends on everyone's capabilities!"
Chen Donghai glanced at Meng Xiaoqi and then at Chu Li.
Meng Xiaoqi's expression was gloomy. He slowly glanced at the secret guardians and secretly sighed at the depth of Chu Li's power that made them so afraid.
"I'd like to experience the Head Chief's great skills!" He took a step forward and punched lightly.
Chu Li took a step diagonally to avoid it. At the same time, he formed a seal with his hands and shouted, "Duo!"
The secret guardians were ready to make a move. They wanted to enter King An's Imperial Residence while the commander was holding Chu Li back. As long as they entered, they would not be disobeying orders. At most, they would not kill anyone. As for listening to the commander's words and killing without mercy, they would be crazy.
The Imperial Residence was not just any other place. It was the Emperor's descendant. How could it be blasphemed? If they hurt the young ladies in the residence, it would be a great sin. If that happened, the commander might not be able to bear the consequences and they would be the unlucky ones.
Suddenly, they heard the sound of thunder. Their vision darkened and darkness swallowed them. They fell limply to the ground and fainted.
Chu Li scanned his surroundings. Everyone had collapsed, and Chen Donghai was no exception. Even the surname with the highest cultivation level? The elder had also fainted.
He nodded in satisfaction. The power of the Lion's Roar had greatly increased after fusing with the God Killing Needle.
Meng Xiaoqi's expression was gloomy. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he shouted, "Chu Li!"
Chu Li raised his head and glanced at him.
Suddenly, the scene in front of him shook violently as if he had fallen into a formation. Then, he realized that Meng Xiaoqi's appearance had changed drastically. His entire body seemed to be lighter and his body was emitting a hazy white light, like white jade under the moonlight.
An oppressive force slowly emerged and stopped halfway. The white light on Meng Xiaoqi's body slowly converged and returned to his body to protect him. However, he stared at Chu Li with a gloomy face. "What a great Head Chief. You really live up to your reputation!"
Chu Li smiled. "Likewise. Who exactly is Commander Meng?"
"I don't need to trouble you to ask. Farewell!" He scoffed. "Why aren't you getting up? Are you going to embarrass yourself here?"
The people who were lying on the ground pretending to be dead had no choice but to get up. Those who were thick-skinned pretended to be nonchalant while those who were thin-skinned pretended to be embarrassed. They all retreated from King An's Imperial Residence.
Chu Li stood with his hands behind his back, his white robe fluttering. The protectors standing behind the gate looked at him and felt that he was tall and majestic like a towering mountain guarding the Imperial Residence. With the Head Chief around, no one could break into the Imperial Residence.
As he watched Meng Xiaoqi's back disappear, Chu Li was deep in thought. The Omniscient Mirror had been observing him, thinking about the strange situation he was in earlier.
Meng Xiaoqi seemed to be sealing his true cultivation level. He originally wanted to undo it but gave up. It seemed like he had some misgivings or it was not the right time yet. Perhaps he wanted to settle the score with him in private?
However, in this case, Commander Meng's reputation was completely lost. The prestige he established in King An's Imperial Residence was also gone. Instead, it helped his reputation. Chu Li shook his head and smiled.
The Enlightened Master's Power was indeed fierce and overbearing. If it was in the past, he would not be able to handle a sixfold Enlightened Master's Power. Not only was it profound, but it was also purer. He was lucky to be able to break it easily. It was really hard to predict whether it was a blessing or a disaster.
