He suddenly appeared in a forest outside of Fairy's Capital.
In the forest, Fa Xiang was carrying Xing Ming as he faced the attacks of three middle-aged men.
The three middle-aged men were all Grandmasters with average looks.
Their fist techniques were mysterious. Their punches were slow but filled the sky with fist shadows. It was as if dozens of hammers had appeared in the sky and shrouded Fa Xiang.
Fa Xiang unleashed the Sentient Menace technique. His body glowed with a purplish golden light and enveloped Xing Ming within it. His movement technique was agile, and he was calm and at ease under the joint attack of the three. He did not even care if he took a punch.
Chu Li could tell that Fa Xiang was exhausted. He looked calm but he was holding on and waiting for Fa Yuan to return.
Fa Xiang was originally not this weak. However, he had channeled his energy to help Xing Ming to prevent Xing Ming's cultivation from being crippled.
When he channeled all his inner energy into Xing Ming's body, the three men appeared.
"Master Fa Xiang …" Chu Li appeared and called out.
"Almsgiver Chu!" Fa Xiang was excited.
Chu Li asked, "Who are these three?"
"I don't know." Fa Xiang shook his head and sighed. "They had their eyes on us the moment we left Fairy's Capital!"
Chu Li smiled. "Since they dared to provoke the Tempest Temple, they must be famous. Are you from the Holy Church of Light?"
The three of them took a step back and stopped.
"It's best that you don't get involved in this." One of the middle-aged men looked at Chu Li coldly. "The Holy Church of Light does not want anyone to disturb us. Leave now or don't blame us for being rude!"
Chu Li smiled and shook his head. "This is not the Holy Church of Light's territory. What are you going to do if I don't leave?"
"I'll kill you first!" The middle-aged man said coldly, "If you leave now, I'll spare your life, and then … Gather? Are you all eager to get together? Rise and fall?
Chu Li said, "Master Fa Xiang, I want to ask for something from you. Let's make a deal. We're brothers."
"What do you want, Almsgiver Chu?"
"That Heart of Asura." Chu Li smiled. "If you give me the Heart of Asura, I'll help you get rid of these three men."
"Amitabha …" Fa Xiang chanted and sighed. "This item is not auspicious. Almsgiver Chu, why do you want to get involved?"
Chu Li smiled. "Master, are you worried that I'll cultivate the Asura Power Technique?"
"I'm worried that Benefactor Chu will swallow the Heart of Asura." FaXiang shook his head and sighed, "It's a narrow escape, I really shouldn't take such a risk. Benefactor Chu, it's not that I'm stingy, but I really don't want to harm benefactor."
Chu Li said, "Life and death are up to fate. If you don't agree, I'll leave!"
"… Fine, the Heart of Asura belongs to Almsgiver Chu." Fa Xiang nodded helplessly.
Chu Li smiled. "Then, Great Master, toss it over first."
Fa Xiang took out the small black stone from his bosom and threw it casually.
Chu Li reached out and took it.
The pure force that came from the tentacle stirred the water ball in his chest, making it want to swallow it in one gulp. His Heavenly Demonic Power might be able to advance another level, which made Chu Li overjoyed.
He had gone from resisting the Heavenly Demonic Power to being curious and even impatient.
He wanted to see if the Heavenly Demonic Power could help him reach the Enlightened Mastery's Boundary. Perhaps he could really reach the Enlightened Mastery's Boundary by cultivating the Heavenly Demonic Power.
The faces of the three middle-aged men became increasingly gloomy and unsightly.
Chu Li treated the three of them as if they were nothing and did not take them seriously at all.
"Kill him first!" One of the middle-aged men scoffed. "Then kill the two monks!"
"Alright!" The other two responded.
The three of them rushed towards Chu Li.
Chu Li left the three of them in a flash and appeared in front of Fa Xiang. He grabbed Fa Xiang's robe and ran, disappearing from the three men's vision in the blink of an eye.
He ran a hundred miles in one breath and put Fa Xiang and Xing Ming on the side of the road. "You guys go first, I'll hold them off."
"Benefactor Chu, thank you!" Fa Xiang pressed his palms together.
"Is Young Master Xing Ming alright?" Chu Li glanced at Xing Ming. He was in a daze and was trying his best to open his eyes wide, but his gaze was listless.
Fa Xiang shook his head. "It's nothing serious, I'll be fine after some rest."
"Great Master Fa Xiang, how's the Golden Lohan Power?"
"Hmm, it's the temple's top antique study." Fa Xiang pondered for a while and said slowly, "Benefactor Chu, where did you hear about this divine technique? This secret divine technique has never been leaked to the outside world, unlike the Sentient Menace. "
Fa Xiang had a good impression of Chu Li. No matter what, Chu Li had saved their lives. Otherwise, they would have had to sacrifice their cultivation to escape.
Although he said it was a trade, he was actually the one who got the better end of the deal.
"Fa Yuan is going to impart the Golden Lohan Power to King An," Chu Li said. "What are you guys trying to do?"
Fa Xiang sighed. "This is also the temple's sincerity."
Chu Li scoffed. "Cultivating this technique requires a profound dharmic base. If King An wants to cultivate it, he has to study the Buddhist scriptures and get closer to the Tempest Temple, right?"
"Yes," Fa Xiang said slowly. "This is something that can't be helped."
Chu Li smiled. "Your temple has really put in a lot of effort! … This technique doesn't have any hidden dangers, right? "
"The higher the level of this technique, the more profound the dharmic base is needed. Every time the dharmic base is improved, the martial arts will improve until the golden body is indestructible," Fa Xiang said. "Almsgiver Chu is a Buddhist, do you want to cultivate this technique?"
Chu Li waved his hand. "Great Master, take care. I'll bid you farewell here!"
Fa Xiang pressed his palms together, turned around and ran away.
Chu Li stopped the three middle-aged men who were chasing after him and threw three punches in the air.
The three of them took his punches head-on and easily caught them.
Chu Li did not fight them head-on, he just wanted to keep them occupied.
The three of them wanted to chase after Fa Xiang and the others. As time passed, Chu Li was still entangled and did not fall into a disadvantageous position. The three of them could not escape and could only barely keep up.
They were obviously going to lose, but Chu Li loosened his grip.
They wanted to risk their lives several times, but Chu Li immediately avoided them.
When they let out a sigh of relief, Chu Li would entangle them again.
This went on for a few times and two hours had passed.
Chu Li estimated that Fa Xiang and the others had already escaped far away, so he floated away and did not kill the three disciples of the Holy Church of Light.
Chu Li deliberately said that they were from the Holy Church of Light to give them a way out and an excuse for himself.
In fact, the three of them were secret guardians of the imperial house, sent by the imperial court to kill Fa Xiang and the others.
As for ruining the assassination, he could shirk the responsibility and mistakenly thought that they were disciples of the Holy Church of Light. It was a freak accident. If there was someone to blame, it was the three of them. Why did they not reveal their identities in time?

He returned to the courtyard and placed the Heart of Asura on his chest. The water ball in his chest slowly swallowed the breath, bit by bit.
He realized that although it was slower, he did not need to isolate himself to train.
He just sat in the courtyard and settled the Heart of Asura when Xue hurried over, "Master, Lady Xiao wants to see you."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows and appeared in Siao Shi's Tianshu Courtyard in a flash.
Siao Shi was frowning as she sat by the stone table. When she saw him, she said, "Something happened!"
Chu Li looked at her beautiful face.
Siao Shi said, "The heir to the High Duke of the Huay Public House was assassinated and was heavily injured."
"Who did it?" Chu Li frowned.
"We didn't catch the assassin." Siao Shi frowned and said, "This person's cultivation level is high. The heir to the High Duke Song was heavily injured. His martial arts might be crippled."
Chu Li said, "So, Master Xiao's wedding …?"
"I'm worried that there will be changes," Siao Shi said.
Chu Li nodded slowly, "It seems that someone has not given up and wants to test the background of the High Duke's Public House. … The wedding must be held as usual. Otherwise, the High Duke's Public House will become a joke and lose its deterrence."
