PS: Six updates complete.
Chu Li smiled and gave a fist salute. "Thank you."
"The Blazing Sun Clan has always been open and aboveboard. We won't do such despicable things." Lu Xiaofeng smiled. "Also, we won't allow anyone to harm Clan Leader Zhao!"
Chu Li smiled. "It's not worth it to do this for a cripple like me."
"Big Brother Zhao, you can cultivate again if you lose your martial arts. You haven't cultivated for long anyway, so it won't take long for you to recover your martial arts," Yue Ru said.
Chu Li nodded. "Don't worry, I'm not that weak."
"Bang!" A muffled sound was heard as the window suddenly exploded. A grey-robed elder leaped into the building and appeared in front of Chu Li. He reached out to grab Chu Li with his right hand shaped into a claw. His murderous intent shrouded Chu Li.
Chu Li seemed to be powerless as he watched the right claw reach him.
"Bang!" Yang Ying's fist hit his shoulder and sent him flying back the way he came.
Chu Li smiled. "Thank you, Miss Yang!"
Yang Ying scoffed. "What's there to thank? These thieves deserve to die. I'll beat them up whenever I see them!"
Chu Li said, "I'm sure many factions in Gale City will come to join in the fun."
"The Blazing Sun Clan has announced that they'll stand by Clan Leader Zhao," Lu Xiaofeng said.
Yue Ru said, "There will always be people who don't know what's good for them."
Yang Ying scoffed. "We should cripple their martial arts and let them have a taste of what it's like."
Chu Li smiled. "I'm flattered that everyone is treating me like this!"
"This is the rule of the martial arts world. We're not doing this for you, Clan Leader Zhao. We're doing this to maintain justice in the martial arts world," Lu Xiaofeng said.
"I see." Chu Li grinned. "Then I don't owe you such a big favor!"
"You don't owe us anything!" Yang Ying scoffed.
Lu Xiaofeng said, "Clan Leader Zhao, I'm impressed that you're able to keep a straight face despite being in such a difficult situation!"
He suddenly realized that his jealousy had disappeared and he began to sympathize with Chu Li.
Chu Li said, "I can't just frown. It's useless. Moreover, I'm not that pitiful. It's not that difficult to recover my martial arts. I can do it with just a thought."
"Within a thought?" Yang Ying asked curiously, "What's within a thought?"
"Actually, I recover my martial arts very quickly," Chu Li said. "I just want to see who's jumping around? Come out, let's clean up together. "
"Zhao Dahe, you didn't spread the news about your martial arts being crippled on your own, did you?" Yang Ying suddenly shouted.
Chu Li shook his head. "Someone is trying to harm me."
"That's good." Yang Ying heaved a sigh of relief. "If it's really your own trick, I won't forgive you."
At this moment, a group of people rushed up the stairs in an aggressive manner. They approached Chu Li and glared at him fiercely.
Chu Li glanced at them and shook his head. He did not recognize these people.
Lu Xiaofeng said in a deep voice, "Masculine Wind Gang, how dare you!"
When they saw Lu Xiaofeng, their momentum immediately stagnated.
The leading young man quickly said, "Clan Leader Lu, we want to settle the score with Zhao Dahe."
"Adding insult to injury, your Xiongfeng Gang only has this much potential!" Lu Xiaofeng snorted in a deep voice, "Fuck off! As long as my Blazing Sun Hall is here, you can forget about dealing with Hall Master Zhao!"
"Clan Leader Lu, why are you helping him?"
"We still have to uphold the principles of the martial arts world!" Lu Xiaofeng said in a deep voice.
The young man thought about it and nodded helplessly. "Alright, I'll forgive him today for Clan Leader Lu's sake!"
He glared at Chu Li, waved his hand, turned around, and walked out.
The others followed him and left.
Chu Li smiled as he watched them leave.
Seeing Chu Li's smile, Yue Ru felt a little sad.
Big Brother Zhao used to be so mighty, but now, even an unknown small faction could bully him and stand in front of him and yell at him.
Before this, these factions did not even dare to approach him. They had to be submissive when they met him and did not dare to speak loudly. They were extremely respectful.
In the face of such an embarrassing situation, Big Brother Zhao did not get angry and his smile did not diminish. He was really unfazed by favors and humiliation. His magnanimity was admirable.
Chu Li smiled. "Now that the four sects have gathered, no one will believe that we're in harmony."
"The White Tiger Sect and the Holy Church of Light will never be in harmony!" Yang Ying scoffed.
Chu Li said, "I owe everyone a favor this time. I'll find a chance to return it."
"Let's talk about it when you can return it," Yang Ying said. "Don't boast. Can you really recover your martial arts?"
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
"Big Brother Zhao, let's return to the Phoenix Goddess Brothel first. You can slowly recover your martial arts," Yue Ru said.
"Alright." Chu Li nodded.
Yue Ru smiled.
Lu Xiaofeng frowned and his expression darkened. In the end, he did not object. Zhao Dahe was the closest to the Tian Luo Sect, which was a level lower than him and the White Tiger Sect.
—
Bai Feng sat behind a desk and pressed her hands on the strings of her guzheng.
Chu Li sat cross-legged on the bed and quietly looked at Bai Feng.
"Do you want to continue cultivating the Musical Assassination Technique?"
"Yes."
"You dare to cultivate this way without inner energy?"
"It'll help me recover my cultivation level faster."
"Alright." Bai Feng nodded and did not ask any more questions. She lowered her head and started playing the guzheng.
Chu Li's mind wandered as he thought about what happened during the day.
He was not surprised that Yang Ying had done that. That was her nature.
Yue Ru's actions were nothing out of the ordinary. She already had a good relationship with the Phoenix Goddess Brothel.
However, Lu Xiaofeng's actions surprised him.
He could see through Lu Xiaofeng's thoughts through the Omniscient Mirror. The Flaming Sun Sect valued their reputation and reputation, so they treated Chu Li's crippled cultivation as a rare opportunity to show off.
Even with this motive, Chu Li still owed them a favor. He had to find a chance to return it in the future.
His martial arts had been crippled, but the White Tiger Sect and the Flaming Sun Sect did not take advantage of his misfortune. Instead, they helped him in his hour of need. He was surprised that the people of Gale City would be surprised as well.
In this world, the strong were respected and martial arts were paramount. Since his martial arts had been crippled, he had turned from the number one master in Gale City into a cripple.
They no longer saw him as a threat, so they were friendly. However, he would not be able to deal with the three major sects after he recovered his martial arts. It was killing two birds with one stone.
Amidst the sound of the guzheng, Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture, the Great Light Scripture, and the Heavenly Demon Scripture circulated at high speed. His body kept growing stronger.
When the guzheng ended, Bai Feng glided away.
The house was dark. Chu Li got up and lit a few tallow candles to brighten the house. Then, he took out the Single Slice of the Universe to study.
Feng Xue was wreaking havoc over there. If he wanted to protect his reputation, he had to strengthen the Seven Forms of Divine Blade. He might not be able to defeat Feng Xue with the Seven Forms of Divine Blade alone. If he lost, all his previous efforts would go to waste.
Therefore, he could not afford to lose this battle. Otherwise, the martial arts world of the Ji Dynasty would be dominated by Feng Xue.
He got up and started practicing the Single Slice of the Universe.
After practicing the thirty-six forms, he discovered a secret. As expected of the Single Slice of the Universe, it was unique.
Each form of the thirty-six blade-nurturing forms absorbed a strange force from the void. It was not inner energy but a force that he had never seen before. It was probably the blade energy needed for the Single Slice of the Universe.
However, it was not easy to practice the thirty-six blade-nurturing forms. Moreover, this force was very weak. He did not know how many times he would have to practice it in order to accumulate it into a blade.
