Yue Ru swayed gently to avoid the attack.
Lu Xiaofeng broke out in a cold sweat. He would regret it if Yue Ru did not manage to avoid the attack. He was terrified and furious. He activated the Flaming Sun Palm to its maximum and his inner energy, which was as hot as boiling water, engulfed the young man.
However, the young man ignored his attack and continued to chase after Yue Ru.
"Bang!" The Flaming Sun Palm hit the young man's back.
He staggered forward but continued to chase after Yue Ru without batting an eyelid.
Yue Ru swayed gently again like a lotus leaf floating on the surface of a lake. She was light and graceful as she dodged the attack effortlessly.
Lu Xiaofeng scoffed and attacked again.
"Bang!" The young man did not seem to be affected by the attack. It was as if he was not the one who was hit. He merely moved because he was affected.
Lu Xiaofeng felt a strange suction force coming from his palm.
There was a strange force around the young man's body that blocked the palm energy. The suction force from this strange force made him feel a little afraid and he felt an inexplicable urge to stay away.
The Bloody Garment Divine Power was indeed mysterious and terrifying. He sighed to himself but he had no choice but to protect Yue Ru.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang." Lu Xiaofeng attacked the young man at lightning speed.
The young man ignored his attacks and continued to attack Yue Ru.
Yue Ru dodged the attacks with Lu Xiaofeng's help. The faint sound of the flute slowed down the movements of the young man and everyone else.
Many of the diners on the third floor could not take it anymore and revealed painful expressions. Some of them covered their chests, stomachs, and heads.
Yue Ru's flute was a group attack technique. Almost no one could escape from it, especially under such circumstances. Fortunately, she was focused on the young man. The others were only affected by the aftershock and its power was greatly reduced.
Even so, many diners could not take it anymore and wanted to escape.
Unfortunately, they could not escape even if they wanted to since they had already heard the flute. They could only lie on the ground and endure the flute's attack. Their hearts were filled with despair and anger.
Chu Li glided out of the window and waved his right hand.
The young man was sent flying and crashed into a wall. Then, he quickly turned into a dried corpse.
The diners screamed when they saw this tragic scene.
Yue Ru's flute stopped playing. Her forehead was drenched in sweat as she let out a long sigh.
Chu Li went over to her. "We'll leave the rest to the Roaring Tiger Clan. Let's go!"
Yue Ru nodded gently.
Chu Li glanced at the diners and took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket. He raised his voice and said, "Everyone, in order to deal with the assassin, I had no choice but to do this. Everyone has been frightened. Here's a hundred taels of silver for each of you. Consider it a small apology from us to help you calm down."
Yue Ru did not expect him to do this. Stunned, she curtsied and said to the crowd, "I've been rude. Please forgive me, heroes."
Lu Xiaofeng stood at the side and pursed his lips. He felt that Chu Li was being hypocritical and that there was no need for him to care about what they thought. This incident was an accident and the three of them were also victims. They should understand that there was no need for them to waste their money.
With a flick of Chu Li's finger, more than twenty banknotes flew out and floated in front of everyone as if they were being carried by an invisible hand. Chu Li's exquisite inner energy manipulation technique shocked everyone and they quickly closed fist saluted to thank him.
One hundred taels of silver was not a small amount. They were very satisfied with the sincerity of the Radiance Clan's Clan Leader.
Chu Li smiled and gave a fist salute. Then, he glanced at the dried corpse on the ground and shook his head. Then, he said to Yue Ru, "Let's go!"
"Alright." Yue Ru nodded and glanced at Lu Xiaofeng. "Young Master Lu, we'll meet again."
The two of them glided out of the window and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
Lu Xiaofeng's handsome face gradually turned gloomy as he watched them leave.
Yue Ru did not want him to go with them and left with Zhao Dahe. This made him very angry and jealous.
Chu Li glided away and smiled. "You've angered Clan Leader Lu."
Yue Ru smiled. "He's broad-minded. He won't be angry."
Chu Li chuckled. "How can a man be broad-minded? He's broad-minded because he doesn't care about anything."
Yue Ru smiled sweetly and said nothing else.
"This time, the Church of the Bloody Garment is almost wiped out," Chu Li said. "Five of them were lying in ambush inside the building and another five were lying in ambush outside the building. In total, there were ten of them. They're really persistent. If they had the White Tiger Sect's skills, they wouldn't have been wiped out."
Yue Ru shook her head and laughed.
To the people of the martial arts world, the White Tiger Sect's way of doing things was really spineless. They bullied the weak and feared the strong, so it was inevitable that they would look down on them. However, it was indeed a wise move. They did not fight for temporary advantages and disadvantages and avoided greater losses.
No matter how much the people of the martial arts world despised the White Tiger Sect's way of doing things, they would not simply provoke them. As long as the White Tiger Sect's strength was not damaged, their deterrent power would not decrease too much. Even if they lost five elders, they would still be looked up to.
Moreover, if the White Tiger Sect's honey trap succeeded, not only would their strength not be damaged, but their strength would also increase. That would be even more terrifying.
As she thought of this, she glanced at Chu Li.
Judging by Chu Li's attitude toward Yang Ying, the honey trap was almost successful.
If any White Tiger Sect disciples appeared in front of him again, he would not take the initiative to attack them and would regard them as his mortal enemies. The White Tiger Sect's methods were indeed powerful.
However, her master was not bad either.
None of the Four Major Sects were easy to deal with. She shook her head to herself.

For the next few days, Chu Li stayed in the Phoenix Goddess Brothel to cultivate. Bai Feng and Yue Ru took turns to play the guzheng to help him cultivate.
His cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, advancing at an extremely fast pace.
In the evening, he had just finished his dinner in the house when Yue Ru cleared the dishes and went downstairs. A moment later, she returned and said in a low voice, "Young Master Zhao, your subordinates are here to see you. They're asking you to leave."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows when he saw Kou Qiong in one of the rooms on the second floor. "Alright, I'll head back tonight then."
Yue Ru nodded gently.
Chu Li pushed the door open and left the house. Soon, he arrived at a room on the second floor.
Kou Qiong hurriedly got up and cupped his fists, saying respectfully, "Hall Master."
"What is it?" Chu Li asked.
Kou Qiong said in a low voice, "A lady came to look for Hall Master. She said her surname is Li."
"Oh, alright then. I'll head back immediately. You can stay here and play for a while," Chu Li said.
Kou Qiong hurriedly said, "No need, no need. I'll go back with the Hall Master."
Chu Li scoffed and glanced at him. "You've already spent all the money. Wouldn't it be a waste not to play? Is that what you're thinking? Then I'll play a little longer. I'll go back myself! "
Kou Qiong smiled apologetically and said, "I wouldn't dare to play when the Hall Master has left."
Chu Li snorted, "Young?? Gather? Play with ants?
Right after that, he turned around and left the house.
Kou Qiong hurriedly said, "Hall Master …"
Seeing that Chu Li had really left, Kou Qiong smiled and sat back at the table. Then, he raised his voice and shouted, "Servants, serve me the best dishes!"
Chu Li saw his character through the Omniscient Mirror and shook his head. These people were all wily old foxes who loved leisure and hated work. If Chu Li had not forced them to, they would all be gluttons and lazy people.
When he returned to his residence, Li Ruolan was standing quietly in his courtyard. She was pretty and her eyes were clear and cold.
Chu Li gave a fist salute and smiled. "Miss Ruolan."
"Zhao Dahe, did you kill Mo Qingqing?" Li Ruolan asked directly in a cold voice.
Chu Li frowned.
Li Ruolan said, "Mo Qingqing died in her own house a few days ago. She was killed by the Destiny Clan's hidden weapons and longswords. You should know about this, right?"
