Fa Yuan pressed his palms together and watched as Chu Li gradually disappeared.
His robes fluttered as he heaved a long sigh.
Fa Xiang smiled. "Junior Brother Fa Yuan, why are you so afraid of him?"
Fa Yuan smiled but did not say anything.
Fa Xiang said, "Almsgiver Chu's name is out there, and he has failed to kill him several times. He is indeed a dragon among men, but Junior Brother Fa Yuan, your martial arts skills are superb, so you should not be afraid of him."
Fa Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Fa Xiang, I haven't personally experienced his prowess, so I can't describe it. Let's save Almsgiver Meng first."
"Alright." FaXiang laughed and said, "This time Meng Shizhu has provoked two great masters, to be able to escape with his life is indeed a fortunate thing, if we were one step later, I'm afraid he would not be in this world anymore, his good fortune is really profound."
Fa Yuan shook his head and said nothing.
It was still too early to say that Meng Jian had escaped with his life. They could save him once, but they could not save him the next time.
Based on his understanding of Chu Li, he would not let it go just like that.
If he wanted to kill Chu Li, he would kill the other party first. Meng Jian had a grudge against him for killing his brother and was proficient in the art of assassination. He was a great threat to Siao Shi and Chu Li would never let him go, even if he was a disciple of the Amethyst Mountain.
When Chu Li was in the High Duke's Public House, he was not afraid of the four major sects and was extremely daring. Otherwise, he would not have offended the Tempest Temple and was hunted down by himself. Chu Li would definitely kill Meng Jian.
"Junior Brother Fa Yuan, what's wrong? Are you really scared by Almsgiver Chu?" Fa Xiang saw that he was troubled and chuckled.
Fa Yuan said, "Brother Fa Xiang, if we want to save Almsgiver Meng, we need to follow him at all times."
"There's no need for that." Fa Xiang smiled and said, "Let the people from Amethyst Mountain come over. If two more people from Amethyst Mountain come, I don't believe that Almsgiver Chu can really kill Almsgiver Meng. Or, we can send him back to Amethyst Mountain first!"
"This is a good method!" Fa Yuan nodded slowly. "Since we've saved Almsgiver Meng, we should send him back to Amethyst Mountain! But I'm afraid Almsgiver Meng isn't willing and wants to continue his revenge! "
Meng Jian had been listening at the side and said, "Thank you, Great Masters!"
Fa Yuan looked at him in surprise.
Meng Jian said, "I'm not stupid. If I can't get my revenge, I'll find someone to help me!"
"Then, Almsgiver Meng, are you going to greet your fellow disciples, or should we send you back to Amethyst Mountain?" Fa Yuan asked.
"I will ask Senior for help!" Meng Jian said fiercely.
Fa Yuan pressed his palms together and bowed. "Very well."
However, he somewhat looked down on Meng Jian.
If Meng Jian had immediately returned to the Amethyst Mountain and trained hard on his own so that he could personally avenge his brother in the future, even though he did not approve of it, Chu Li still admired Meng Jian. He did not expect Meng Jian to directly seek help from a fellow disciple. His temperament was not pure enough.
Although such a person was talented, his achievements were limited. It would be difficult for him to achieve great things. Even if he stepped into the Grandmaster's Boundary, it would be difficult for him to become a top-notch master.
Without a brave and diligent heart, one would slack off after entering the Realm Beyond Heaven.
The Grandmaster's Boundary was only the starting point for those who were truly pursuing the ultimate boundary of martial arts. The distance to the Enlightened Master's Boundary was far beyond their reach. Compared to this, going from the Foundation Building to the Grandmaster's Boundary was only a small step. Only by stepping into the Grandmaster's Boundary would one truly begin their journey.
It was obvious that Meng Jian was the kind of person who only sought comfort and did not seek to reach the pinnacle of martial arts. He was not the same kind of person as Chu Li and himself.
Fa Xiang smiled and said, "May I know which fellow disciple are you looking for?"
"My Senior Brother Zhang is a High Official in the Imperial House. Killing Chu Li will be a piece of cake!" Meng Jian said lightly.
"A High Official in the Imperial House … That's good. His position is transcendent. However, grudges should never end. If you can resolve it, then resolve it. Letting go is the only way to be free. If you kill too much, there will be retribution." Fa Xiang smiled.
"Yes, thank you for your advice, Great Master." Meng Jian pressed his palms together and smiled.
However, he did not agree. He did not believe in the karma of Buddhism at all.

Chu Li returned to the Tianshu Courtyard.
Xiao Shi was standing in the courtyard in a daze. In the house, Yang Xu was taking care of Xue Ling.
Seeing him return, Xiao Shi let out a sigh of relief. "Did you kill him?"
Chu Li shook his head.
Xiao Shi's eyes wandered. "A disciple of the Amethyst Mountain is not that easy to kill. There must be a secret technique, right?"
"Fa Yuan and Fa Xiang saved him. The Tempest Temple and the Amethyst Mountain are together. How interesting," said Chu Li.
Xiao Shi muttered, "Logically speaking, it shouldn't be."
She understood the grudges between the four major sects very well. People of different paths could not work together. The four major sects each followed their own path. Even if the Titanium Temple and the Tempest Temple were both Buddhists, they did not cultivate the same dharmic base.
Chu Li said, "It should be a personal friendship."
"It doesn't matter if I kill him or not.
He wants to find High Official Zhang Ci from the Imperial House to kill him. High Official Zhang Ci from the Imperial House … "Chu Li shook his head.
"How shameless of him."
"It's a wise move. He knows where he stands. No matter how long he cultivates back in the mountain, he won't be able to catch up to me. It's better to find someone to help him!"
"Then you want to kill him before he finds the High Official?"
"Yes."
"With the people from the Tempest Temple protecting him, will it work?"
"That will depend on my abilities. I'll have to find someone to help me." Chu Li smiled.
"… Lu Yurong?"
"I can only find her. She can distract Fa Yuan's attention. I'll make my move." Chu Li nodded.
Xiao Shi shook her head. "Will she agree? … She probably doesn't want to get involved in this trouble! "
"Then you're underestimating her courage." Chu Li smiled.
Since Lu Yurong was involved in this matter, she was not afraid of the Amethyst Mountain. She must have something to rely on.
In any case, as long as the conditions were sufficient, she would agree to help. Moreover, she only needed to distract the two monks. Meng Jian's death was not necessarily related to her.
If she was an ordinary person, the Amethyst Mountain would just kill her. However, her identity was not to be trifled with. The Amethyst Mountain would most likely feign ignorance. The Amethyst Mountain might not want to go against the two High Duke's Public Houses or even the Imperial Residence.

The Mercy Temple outside the Fairy's Capital shone with golden light. It was magnificent.
Early in the morning, the entire Mercy Temple was bathed in fragrance.
The morning bell rang three times, accompanied by the chanting of scriptures. The sound drifted far and the entire Mercy Temple was shrouded in solemnity and holiness.
In a courtyard behind the Mercy Temple, Meng Jian was slowly moving his stiff body. The feeling of weakness still lingered in his heart. His body could not move vigorously. After using the Shadow Thunder Palm three times, his entire body's energy was depleted. He would need a month to completely recover.
He was in the Mercy Temple. Even if he did not believe in Buddhism, listening to the ringing of the morning bell and the chanting of scriptures, he could not help but feel at peace.
He had already sent a letter to Zhang Ci, the Imperial House High Official. He only needed to wait for news. When his Senior received the news and rushed over, he would be completely safe.
"Meng Jian, are you feeling better?" The little monk Fa Wu entered the courtyard and smiled.
"I'm doing fine. I didn't think you would save me, Fa Wu!" Meng Jian smiled.
"Our martial arts are similar. Sparring is the best way to improve. Naturally, I can't let you die! If you were to die, where else would I find such an opponent?" Fa Wu smiled.
"That's true." Meng Jian smiled.
Fa Wu said, "I've seen Almsgiver Chu's martial arts. How is it?"
Meng Jian's smile faded and his face darkened.
Fa Wu said, "Is he really that powerful?"
Meng Jian nodded slowly.
"I want to cultivate well. One day, I will catch up to him!" Fa Wu scoffed. "I want to defeat him completely!"
Meng Jian looked at him and smiled.
He felt that Fa Wu would never be able to defeat the person with the surname Chu. This person with the surname Chu was too powerful!
