Lin Yuanshan was shocked.
Chu Li smiled. "They won't be able to catch up."
Lin Yuanshan looked at the two men in black who were getting closer and was secretly worried.
Chu Li said, "I'm curious, why are they looking for you, Brother Lin?"
"Secrets of the Imperial House …" Lin Yuanshan frowned. "What secrets are there in the Imperial House?"
"There must be a reason," Chu Li said. "Unfortunately, they are only here to capture someone, we don't know anything."
He had always wondered why the Holy Church of Light went to the Fairy's Capital. It did not seem like they were here to assassinate, it seemed like their target was the Imperial House.
"Are they really from the Holy Church of Light?" Lin Yuanshan asked. "The Holy Church of Light shouldn't be in the Ji Dynasty!"
"The Holy Church of Light is different from before. I think the Bishop has changed, it's going to be an eventful time. Why don't we return to the Fairy's Capital first? "Chu Li said.
"What about the Protectors?"
"Just send them a message."
"That would be for the best," Lin Yuanshan said.
Since he was wanted by the Holy Church of Light, he was the source of trouble. It would be better for the Protectors to leave first.
Chu Li sped up and the distance between them lengthened.
The two men in black looked gloomy and their eyes were filled with anger.
They understood that Chu Li was toying with them. He was faster than the two of them with Lin Yuanshan but he did not escape in one go. He wanted to play a trick on them. How despicable!
They had already activated their secret skills but they still could not catch up to Chu Li. There was no hope.
As they thought about this, they turned around and walked back.
Chu Li shook his head and sighed. "They are not stupid!"
Lin Yuanshan said, "Are they going back to deal with the Protectors?"
Chu Li nodded. "They are courting death, I can only fulfill their wish!"
He sped up and caught up with the two men in black in the blink of an eye. His right hand flashed.
"Tss!" A flash of lightning flashed.
The tall and skinny man in black moved sideways to avoid the blade but Chu Li's other blade came.
The tall and skinny man in black continued to dodge.
Chu Li closed the distance between them and swung his hand again.
The tall and skinny man in black lowered his head and almost fell to the ground to avoid the blade.
Chu Li shook his head and chased after him. He was only ten steps away now.
He swung his arm again, and a bolt of lightning flashed in the air.
"Chi!" The flying dagger seemed to cut through cloth as it sped up.
The other short man in black sensed that something was wrong. He was alarmed, but he didn't have time to react. The flying knife pierced through his chest, sending a spray of blood into the pine tree behind him.
"Old Jing!" The lanky black-clothed man shouted.
Chu Li's flying blade came again.
The tall and skinny man in black's eyes were bright. His body suddenly shrank and became as tall as his companion. In a flash, he appeared in front of Chu Li. His fist was already in front of Chu Li's chest. It was so fast that Chu Li's eyes could not follow it.
Chu Li placed his right palm in front of his chest.
"Bang!" He and Lin Yuanshan flew more than ten meters away.
Bang! The man in black was hot on his heels, throwing punch after punch. Chu Li did not even have the strength to fight back and could only defend himself.
Lin Yuanshan was frightened by the fist that was so close to him. He couldn't see the man's movements clearly, but he felt like he was in a raging sea, like a small boat that could capsize at any time and lose his life.
After throwing more than twenty punches, the man in black forced Chu Li and Lin Yuanshan to move more than a hundred meters away.
Chu Li knew what he was thinking. After receiving another punch, he suddenly disappeared in front of the man in black and appeared behind another man who was healing himself. Chu Li hit him with his palm.
"Bang!" The man in black who was hit by the flying knife flew up and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Chu Li laughed and fluttered away with Lin Yuanshan.
Lin Yuanshan saw that the man in black did not chase after them and let out a long sigh of relief. "We finally got rid of them! … Aren't they not afraid of death? "
Chu Li smiled. "They're different from humans. Some are not afraid of death, but they don't want to die."
"Good, that's good. As long as they don't want to die." Lin Yuanshan smiled.
The two fluttered away at lightning speed. In a short while, they met the Imperial House Protectors.
Hence, they decided not to rest anymore and hurried on their journey in the night. There were only two of them, if another two came, they would really die.

On the evening of the second day, the exhausted group finally arrived at the Fairy's Capital.
Outside the Fairy's Capital, Chu Li bade farewell to them. He did not want to return to the Fairy's Capital yet. He wanted to stay at the High Duke's Public House for a while.
"Brother Chu, if there's anything you need, you can send someone to the palace." Lin Yuanshan said reluctantly: "If I can help, I will."
Chu Li smiled. "Alright, if there's anything, I'll definitely ask for your help, Brother Lin."
"You're not allowed to treat me like an outsider," Lin Yuanshan said. "Otherwise, I'll be really unhappy."
He was indebted to Chu Li for saving his life. If Chu Li had not escorted him this time, he would have lost his life. The Imperial House Protectors were unreliable, and they could not even protect themselves.
Moreover, Chu Li's temperament was compatible with his, and they could be said to be close friends.
Chu Li said, "Alright then, I won't treat you like an outsider. However, Brother Lin, if you need anything, you can send me a letter, either to the Secret Guardians Hall or the Imperial Residence of King An. I'll always be somewhere. I'll probably stay in the High Duke's Public House for more than ten days before returning."
"I will definitely trouble you with something, Brother Chu." Lin Yuanshan smiled.
Chu Li asked, "Can Brother Lin leave the palace normally?"
Lin Yuanshan shook his head. "I can't leave the palace."
"That's a pity. The next time I leave the palace, we'll meet again." Chu Li smiled. "Let's drink to our heart's content!"
"Alright!" Lin Yuanshan smiled.
Chu Li closed fist saluted, turned around and glided away. Lin Yuanshan sent the horse to the Imperial Residence of King An, and he immediately used his Light-body Technique to return.
He entered the forest, and the next moment, he appeared on the Symphony Island of the High Duke's Public House.
The sunset shone on the gazebo, and Siao Shi was playing the guzheng in the gazebo. As soon as he appeared, the sound of the guzheng stopped.
She was dressed in white, and her beautiful face was like white jade. "Let's go to the Titanium Temple."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. "You miss Xu An?"
"Yes." Siao Shi nodded lightly. "I wonder how the little guy is doing."
"Let's go." Chu Li said.
The two of them flashed a few times, and appeared outside the Titanium Temple.
The sunset dyed the dilapidated Titanium Temple golden.
Under the observation of Chu Li's Omniscient Mirror, the golden light of the pagoda enveloped the Titanium Temple, and he could not peek inside.
This golden light could not be seen by outsiders, and it looked like a dilapidated temple.
He went forward and knocked on the door.
After a long time, a "squeak" was heard, and an old monk opened the door. When he saw the two of them, he sighed. "Almsgivers, you're back again?"
Chu Li smiled. "Revered sir, we would like to meet Xu An."
"Please wait." The old monk closed the door again.
It was obvious that he had no intention of letting the two of them into the temple.
Siao Shi stared at him fiercely. "Turning your back on us, stupid monks are all bad people!"
Chu Li smiled. "Buddhists pay particular attention to karma. Since the karma is over, they won't let you into the temple. They're heartless."
After a while, the old monk slowly walked out. "Xu An is currently cultivating in isolation. He can't meet any guests."
Chu Li frowned. "Xu An has started cultivating?"
"Yes, he has started cultivating." The old monk slowly said. "This child's affinity with Buddhism is deep, and he will become a Buddha. It's not good to disturb his mortal heart."
Siao Shi hurriedly said. "Can't he just meet him?"
The old monk shook his head.
Siao Shi handed over the bag in her hand. "Then please give this to Xu An, Revered sir."
