"Hmph!" There was a muffled groan, and a few drops of blood spilled out, but there was no sign of him.
Chu Li swung his arm and shot out another blade. It silently pierced through a pine tree and then stopped moving.
The Heavenly Demonic Orb fell into his precordium and the surging blood brought him endless power. The Omniscient Mirror became clearer and clearer and he could see a shadow silently passing by the pine trees, slowly disappearing into the distance.
His figure disappeared in a flash.
The next moment, he appeared behind the shadow and threw out another flying knife.
"Chi!" The flying dagger pierced through the shadow. It was empty, but it brought out a puff of fresh blood.
The long sword at Chu Li's waist was finally unsheathed.
"Chi!" A streak of black light flashed and immediately disappeared.
Among his many martial skills, the strongest were his sword and saber skills, followed by the Shura Palm. His fist skills were now lagging behind.
This sword was unleashed with his accumulated momentum, and under the effect of the Heavenly Demonic Power, the Modesty Sword was undetectable to the naked eye. By the time the sword flashed, it had already returned to its sheath.
A man in black suddenly appeared in front of him, clutching his chest as he slowly collapsed.
Lu Yurong glided closer.
Chu Li withdrew his Heavenly Demonic Power. Hunger and weakness surged like a tidal wave.
Lu Yurong glanced at Chu Li. That strike just now made her heart palpitate. She might not have been able to dodge it.
"Dead?" She looked down at the man in black.
Chu Li nodded slowly, but his face did not show any signs of relief.
The power of the Amethyst Mountain's Phantom Yin Skill was astonishing. Even with this one dead, the Amethyst Mountain still had many masters like him. He might be able to escape, but Siao Shi and the others might not. If the Amethyst Mountain really wanted to take revenge, he might not be able to withstand it.
Lu Yurong looked at his expression and guessed what he was thinking.
"So be it. There aren't many disciples in the Amethyst Mountain. They'll be even more heartbroken," Lu Yurong said.
Chu Li suppressed his worries and smiled. "I've gone on a killing spree today. Thank you very much!"
Lu Yurong rolled her eyes at him. "Do you still want to kill more?"
Chu Li shook his head. "I should stop while I'm ahead. I've vented my anger!"
He picked up the bundle that was placed far away and disappeared with Lu Yurong. They appeared in the courtyard of the Imperial Residence of King An.
It was already early in the morning. He and Lu Yurong had been fighting for the whole night.
As soon as he appeared, he discovered Dong Qifei and Yang Zongwen standing outside the small courtyard.
Leng Qiu and Leng Qing were practicing their swordsmanship in the courtyard. They were drenched in sweat and their eyes were shining.
Lu Yurong looked at them and shook her head with a smile. "Are they really going to become masters of the sword?"
Chu Li said, "I'll deal with Leng Tao during the next Hunting Ceremony."
"Leng Tao's martial arts may not be strong, but he has trained for a few years." Lu Yu Rong said, "And he has a master to guide him, can he really do it?"
Chu Li smiled. "Let's wait and see!"
"I'd like to see for myself. I'm leaving." Lu Yurong waved her hand.
Chu Li gave a fist salute.
Fighting alongside Lu Yurong to kill so many masters, their chemistry was very good, it was very comfortable.
Lu Yurong bid farewell to Leng Qing and Leng Qiu and flew away.
"Come in!" Chu Li raised his voice.
Dong Qifei and Yang Zongwen hurriedly pushed the door open as if they had heard the imperial edict.
"Captain, you're finally back!" Dong Qifei hurriedly shouted, "Quickly go to the Secret Guardians Hall!"
Chu Li said, "Take this, go and deal with it."
He pointed to the bundle on the table.
"What is it?" Dong Qifei took it and was about to open it.
Chu Li waved his hand to stop him. He glanced at the two women and gave them a look. "Look at it after we get out. Deal with it cleanly, don't be too scary."
"… Yes." Dong Qifei quickly nodded. "When are we going to the Secret Guardians Hall?"
As long as Chu Li was in the Secret Guardians Hall, he could do anything. The people in the Secret Guardians Hall were cursing the captain, as if the captain was an unpardonable criminal who had let down the Emperor and the Secret Guardians Hall.
"We'll talk about it later." Chu Li waved his hand.
The two of them helplessly carried the bundle and left.
"What are they carrying?" Leng Qiu wiped her forehead with a towel and smiled. "So mysterious!"
"It's better if you don't look." Chu Li smiled.
Leng Qiu pouted. "Hiding it from us, what's there to hide?"
Leng Qing also wiped her forehead with a towel and glared at him.
Chu Li called for Leng Qing's maid to ask the kitchen to make more meat and bring it over as soon as possible.
He chatted with the two women and ate a table full of dishes. When he was done, he disappeared from the Imperial Residence of King An and appeared at the Island of Symphony of the High Duke's Public House.
Siao Shi was breathing in the pagoda. She wore a bluish-white gown and her beautiful face was solemn.
In the gentle breeze, her breathing was slow and gentle. Her body emitted a tranquil aura as if she was one with the breeze.
When Chu Li appeared, she turned her head and looked at him. Her eyes were like water.
Chu Li smiled. "Let's go to the Spirit Cranes Peak."
Siao Shi smiled and nodded.
The two of them disappeared in a flash and appeared at the Spirit Cranes Peak.
As soon as he stepped into the Spirit Cranes Peak, pure spiritual energy immediately surged into his body, recovering his weakness and fatigue.
Two little cranes chirped and rushed over.
Chu Li played with them for a while before lying down under a tree to rest.
The thick and soft green grass used as a cushion and the pure spiritual energy enveloped him. It was so comfortable that he wanted to sleep.
Siao Shi crossed her legs and sat beside him elegantly. She looked at him from head to toe. "You killed someone again?"
Chu Li nodded. "Yes."
"Who?" Siao Shi asked.
Chu Li told her everything that had happened.
Siao Shi listened and did not comment. She did not care about these fights and killings.
After Chu Li told her everything, he relaxed and slowly fell asleep.

The sunset dyed the main hall of the Secret Guardians Hall rose red.
There was a group of people sitting in the main hall. There were more than ten middle-aged men and five to six old men. It made the main hall very lively.
Ma Kun and a pair of chubby young men sat on armchairs. Opposite them sat Fu Mengshan and Xu Huande, listening to the three of them talking.
"Commander, I saw it clearly. There was no Minister Counsellor Zhou." Ma Kun's face was as pale as paper. His voice was weak as if he could be blown away by a gust of wind.
"Looks like it was a fake." Xu Huande said.
Ma Kun reluctantly nodded. "We were all fooled!"
Fu Mengshan sighed. "Young Chu Li really hit the nail on the head. Sigh …"
He glanced at the people in the hall.
They avoided his gaze shamefully.
They understood what he meant and felt very disappointed. There were so many smart and capable people. How could they not think of this? They were completely captivated by the news of Minister Counsellor Zhou's defection and could not think of anything else.
They also knew that it was because this matter was too serious. They could not help but be nervous and think of the worst.
"Even if it was a fake, we still have to kill them!" Xu Huande said coldly. "Minister Counsellor Zhou must have been killed by them!"
Everyone nodded slowly.
The Minister Counsellor was a high-ranking official in the imperial court. If he was killed for no reason and the Secret Guardians Hall could not catch the culprit, not only would the Ji Dynasty laugh at the Secret Guardians Hall, but the Emperor would also feed them. The Li Dynasty would also think that the Ji Dynasty was useless.
"Those three fellas …" Xu Huande said. "How powerful are they?"
Ma Kun smiled bitterly. "One of them went against the three of us. We were heavily injured in a few moves. If it wasn't for our Light-body Technique, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to see the Commander!"
"That's true." Fu Mengshan said. "Those who were sent to the Ji Dynasty are definitely not mediocre. It's a merit that you were able to escape."
"Commander, we need to send more people." Ma Kun said. "I think the one who attacked was the weakest."
