King An glanced at the Protectors and smiled. He did not mind.
He knew that his actions were inappropriate. He was too impatient. Under the influence of his inner demons, he could no longer maintain his usual calmness.
But so what if it was inappropriate? They would not betray him and side with Chu Li.
His palm had clearly expressed his intention to kill Chu Li. He wanted the Protectors to understand that Chu Li was their enemy. They should not try to please him and stay away from him.
If that happened, Chu Li would be isolated. No matter how powerful the Head Chief was, it would be useless.
No matter how powerful he was, he was the master of the Imperial Residence. He was just a chief. No matter how powerful he was, he would not be able to change his master's mind. These Protectors were all smart and powerful. They would know what to do.
He turned to look at Xu Ning under the pine tree and smiled, "Revered sir, is there any chance of Chu Li surviving?"
Xu Ning pressed his palms together and sighed, "The Head Chief's martial arts is outstanding and he is wise. He might be able to escape."
"Hehe." King An smiled and shook his head, "Revered sir, you think too highly of him. No matter how scheming he is, it is not worth mentioning in front of absolute martial arts. If not, why would I spend so much effort on martial arts?"
Xu Ning said, "Your Royal Highness, in my opinion, the Head Chief can escape with his life."
"Alright, since the Revered sir is so insistent, I will not force you." King An smiled, "In my opinion, the two people sent by the Amethyst Mountain are very powerful. No matter how strong Chu Li is, he will not be able to escape."
"Yes." Xu Ning pressed his palms together and did not say anything else.
King An knew his personality and did not force him to agree with him. He turned to look at Zheng Lide, "Commander Zheng, what do you think?"
"The Head Chief is indeed wise. We cannot underestimate him. Even if he is in a desperate situation, he might still be able to escape," Zheng Lide said.
"Hehe, you all really think highly of him!" King An shook his head and laughed, "Alright, I would like to see how he can escape. … If we speed up, can we reach Chong Ming Town by tomorrow?"
"The earliest we can reach would be at night." Zheng Lide said.
King An nodded, "Then forget it. Let's wait for the sun to rise. First, let Siao Tieying know and let him come out to welcome us. Hehe, interesting!"
Zheng Lide closed fist saluted in response.
He cursed in his heart that this was done on purpose to anger Siao Tieying.
Siao Tieying was a staunch and unyielding man. It was dangerous to provoke him like this. It was obvious that the Royal Highness thought that Siao Tieying would not dare to do anything to him.
No matter how he thought about it, he, as a subordinate, needed to be more vigilant.
"When I return this time, I won't be going into seclusion." King An turned his head to look at Xu Ning and smiled. "I think what Chu Li said makes sense. My aptitude is not as good as his, I really can't compete with him in martial arts."
Xu Ning said, "Your Royal Highness, the Head Chief is trying to undermine Your Royal Highness' confidence. He just doesn't want Your Royal Highness to go into seclusion. He's afraid that Your Royal Highness will go into seclusion!"
"Oh — —?" King An frowned. "What do you mean, Revered Sir?"
Xu Ning said slowly, "Your Royal Highness's cultivation of the antique art is progressing very quickly. Although the Head Chief has a good aptitude, he has a congenital flaw."
"What flaws?"
"Family background."
Prince An muttered, "My background …"
Xu Ning said, "The Head Chief was born in the Public House, so the martial arts he practiced are not top-notch. How can it be compared to the exquisite martial arts practiced by Your Royal Highness? I've never heard of the Public House having any powerful antique art. It can't be compared to the four major sects. "
"Hmm …" King An nodded slowly. "That's true. If that's the case, he's purposely provoking me and attacking me. He doesn't want me to cultivate?"
"That's right." Xu Ning said, "If he's really not afraid of Your Royal Highness going into seclusion, why would he talk so much?"
"That's true." King An said slowly, "Although he might be doing this on purpose to make us misunderstand, the martial arts of the Yi Public House are indeed very ordinary. Otherwise, they wouldn't have declined to this extent. … To be able to cultivate ordinary martial arts to this level, Chu Li's aptitude is indeed extraordinary!"
"Yes, the Head Chief is a genius. Unfortunately …" Xu Ning shook his head.
Those who could cultivate the divine powers of the Titanium Temple were all geniuses. Moreover, Chu Li's wisdom was far better than his. He was also fated to be with the Titanium Temple. It was not impossible for him to become a junior in the same faction.
Even so, he would not help him. Everyone had their own reasons and could not be forced. He was not a disciple of the Titanium Temple yet, so there was no need for him to meddle in other people's business.
After King An spoke, he ate a few mouthfuls of the game. He felt that the taste was average, so he tossed it aside and laid down in front of the bonfire. He laid on his side and began to meditate using the Golden Lohan's Power posture. He entered the state of cultivation.
His fighting spirit had been reignited. He wanted to completely overwhelm Chu Li in martial arts and kill him. Only then would his thoughts be truly clear. It would be beneficial for his own cultivation and would be beneficial for the fight for the throne in the future.
— —
After midnight, Zheng Lide and the others realized that Chu Li still had not returned. They sighed to themselves and faintly felt that the Head Chief was in danger.
Some of the Protectors felt indignant. The Head Chief had encountered such a master but could not receive any help. No matter how powerful the masters from the Amethyst Mountain were, they would still have some scruples if they were to attack together. They could not kill him.
Unfortunately, the Royal Highness watched as the Head Chief fell into a desperate situation. Not only did he not save him, but he also took the opportunity to plot against him. The Head Chief was also unlucky to have met such a Royal Highness.
They did not realize that a shadow was slowly approaching them.
When the shadow was near the bonfire, it suddenly shot towards King An.
"Chi!" A soft whistling sound was heard. A wretched figure appeared in front of King An. Both of his palms were flashing red as his right palm pressed towards King An.
King An was in the state of meditation. His reaction was the sharpest. He immediately felt a sense of danger.
Unfortunately, before he could react, Chu Li's right palm had already pressed against his back.
"Wah!" King An flew out and knocked over the bonfire. The robe on his body was burning. The Heaven's Thunder Palm was destroying his body unscrupulously.
The aura of the Golden Lohan's Power rushed forward to stop it. Unfortunately, the Heaven's Thunder Palm was overbearing. Although the aura of the Golden Lohan's Power was pure, it could only block a part of it. It did not allow the Heaven's Thunder Palm to rush to his heart.
The Heaven's Thunder Palm intensified and destroyed every part of his body. His Dantian was instantly destroyed.
"Hmph — —!" King An was in excruciating pain. He gritted his teeth and did not scream. He only grunted and rolled on the ground a few times to extinguish the fire. Then, he bounced up from the ground and shot towards the forest beside. He wanted to run into the forest to escape from the wretched middle-aged man's assassination.
Unfortunately, under the Heaven's Thunder Palm heart technique, not only was the palm energy overbearing, but the inner energy had also become violent and swift. This made the wretched middle-aged man's body movement technique extremely fast. He instantly caught up to King An. His right palm flashed red and pressed down again.
This palm hit the back of his waist and instantly destroyed both of his kidneys.
Then, the wretched middle-aged man's figure flashed and appeared in front of Xu Ning. He raised his voice and shouted, "Chu Li, if you don't come out, I will kill everyone in the Imperial Residence of King An!"
The night sky was silent. No one answered.
Xu Ning pressed his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha. "Almsgiver, why do you have to kill so much? The sea of bitterness has no bounds. Repent and you will be saved! "
His voice was gentle and pleasant. It made people involuntarily believe him and want to obey him.
The wretched middle-aged man turned his head and scoffed. "Little monk, put away your bewitching technique. We, the Amethyst Mountain, will not fall for your tricks. Watch my palm!"
His palm energy was extremely fast. Before Xu Ning could react, his palm had already landed on Xu Ning's chest.
"Bam!" Xu Ning's chest suddenly bulged and dispersed the palm energy.
"Huh, interesting!" The wretched middle-aged man scoffed and turned into a stream of light. He attacked Zheng Lide.
