PS: I have to go out for something and might be back very late. I don't think I'll be able to write. I'm really sorry, I have to continue tomorrow morning. I'll try to find time to write.
Chu Li returned to his own courtyard in the Imperial Residence of King An.
In the early morning, he had finished his cultivation and was eating with Siao Shi in the Tianshu Courtyard. Chief Zhu's voice came from outside, "Head Chief, Great Master Fa Yuan from the Tempest Temple is here to see you."
"Fa Yuan?" Chu Li said, "Invite him in, I'll be right there."
"Yes," Chief Zhu replied respectfully and left.
Siao Shi was wearing a bluish-white gown and was holding a piece of pastry. She frowned, "What is this little monk doing here again? Nothing good! "
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
Siao Shi's words were blunt but they always hit the nail on the head.
He put down his bowl and chopsticks. When he arrived at the main hall, Fa Yuan was already seated. He was handsome as usual, his grey robe was spotless. He was quietly holding a teacup with a dignified demeanor.
Chu Li pressed his palms together, "Fa Yuan, you don't come without a reason. Tell me, what's the matter?"
Fa Yuan pressed his palms together with a serious expression and sighed, "Almsgiver Chu, I'm here to tell you some bad news."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
Fa Yuan sighed, "Zhou Lingfeng escaped."
Chu Li was startled and laughed, "You're not joking right? Isn't Zhou Lingfeng suppressed in the Tempest Temple? How could he escape from the Tempest Temple? "
The Tempest Temple was heavily guarded, even more so than the Imperial House. It was almost unheard of for anyone to escape from the Tempest Temple.
Fa Yuan nodded slowly, "I know this is a little strange but it's true. Zhou Lingfeng has escaped. I'm here to tell you that he's determined to kill you."
Chu Li stared at him.
Fa Yuan sighed, "This matter has become serious. Almsgiver Chu, you should know that too. I'm here to report this."
"Let's hear it." Chu Li shook his head, "It's hard to imagine that someone suppressed by the Tempest Temple could escape. Is his ability increasing or is the Tempest Temple just an undeserved reputation?"
Fa Yuan was not annoyed by Chu Li's sarcasm. He pressed his palms together and said, "He was saved by his companions and was caught off guard."
"Could it be his father?" Chu Li said, "He's a disciple of the Tempest Temple. You know him very well. It's possible that he's working with someone from the inside."
"… It's not Zhou Lingfeng's father." Fa Yuan hesitated for a while and sighed. "It's another disciple of our temple."
"How interesting," Chu Li said with a smile. "So they're working together from the inside?"
"… Yes." Fa Yuan nodded with difficulty.
Chu Li stood up and paced around with his hands behind his back. He muttered, "What's the relationship between the two of them?"
"They don't know each other." Fa Yuan said, "After all, Zhou Lingfeng is not a disciple of our temple. Senior Brother Fa Ren has always been in the temple, so he did not know him."
"Fa Ren …" Chu Li muttered, "If you don't recognize him, why are you still saving him?"
Fa Yuan sighed. "Brother Fa Ren has also cultivated the Asura Power Technique."
Chu Li laughed. "That's even more ridiculous. The cultivators of the Asura Power Technique hate each other. Since when did they help each other?"
He had a good understanding of the Asura Power Technique. He also had a deep understanding of the Asura clan. The existence of the Outland was different from humans. They did not rely on each other, only competition. They were all independent and could not tolerate their own kind.
Unless there was an Asura with a high bloodline, only then could they lead the Asura clan. If not, no one would submit to the other and they would fight to the death.
Fa Yuan said, "According to the news from our temple, a group of cultivators of the Asura Power Technique have gathered together and formed a Divine Church of Asura."
Chu Li frowned. "Could it be that there are people who have completely cultivated the Asura Power Technique?"
"Even if they did not cultivate it, they must have reached a very high level. This must be a very terrifying existence. The elders of our temple are preparing to move out and see if they can suppress them. Almsgiver Chu, you must be careful too. "
Chu Li's face darkened and he slowly nodded.
One Asura could kill until corpses littered the ground. A group of Asuras, who knew how many people would be killed and how many innocent people would die tragically.
Therefore, the people of this world regarded martial arts as the foundation. Those with low martial arts were no different from ants. Once they encountered this kind of people, they would not be able to resist!
Fa Yuan saw his ugly expression and comforted him. "They are around the Ning Jiang Road, far from the Chong Ming Road. Don't worry."
Chu Li sighed. "Really … I've been waiting for you to come and steal my secret manual."
Fa Yuan smiled. "Don't worry, Almsgiver Chu, we know it's just a rumor."
"Oh …?" Chu Li laughed. "How would I know? The rumors outside don't make sense? I stepped into the Outland two years ago. It's very likely that I've cultivated the Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual. "
"I know that Almsgiver Chu did not cultivate the Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual," Fa Yuan said.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. "Could it be that the Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual is in the hands of the Tempest Temple?"
Fa Yuan shook his head. "The elders of my temple have seen the cultivators of the Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual. They know the uniqueness of the Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual's inner energy heart technique. Almsgiver Chu, although your martial arts is strong and you advance quickly, you did not cultivate the Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual."
"No wonder." Chu Li suddenly understood.
No wonder the four major sects did not come to join in the fun. They knew the truth and had seen the martial arts of the Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual.
Come to think of it, the cultivators of the Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual must have dealt with the four major sects. Otherwise, the Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual would not have such a reputation. The Cloud Slashing Power's engulfing ability left a deep impression on people.
"Almsgiver Chu, my temple will make it clear to everyone that you did not cultivate the Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual," Fa Yuan said.
Chu Li scoffed. "Is this considered forgiveness? Making up for your mistakes? "
Fa Yuan smiled. "You can say that."
"Thank you very much then." Chu Li secretly thought that dealing with smart people was so worry-free. He did not have to say it too clearly and Fa Yuan would know what to do.
He changed the topic. "Did Zhou Lingfeng's martial arts become stronger?"
Fa Yuan shook his head. "He did not become stronger in the temple, but I can't say for sure when he leaves the temple. If he really joined the Divine Church of Asura, he might become even stronger!"
Chu Li slowly nodded. "I understand. If it really doesn't work, we can only kill him and talk about it eighteen years later."
"Don't kill him if you can," Fa Yuan said.
As the two of them were talking, suddenly a shout was heard. "Who is it!"
Chu Li sighed. "They're here!"
"Amitabha — —" Fa Yuan chanted the name of Buddha, which resounded in the sky above the Imperial Residence of King An.
The two men in blue robes who were fighting with the four Protectors of the Imperial Residence of King An heard the name of Buddha and immediately left the four Protectors behind. Like two wisps of smoke, they floated into the living room. The four Protectors could not stop them in time. They had already entered the living room.
Chu Li's voice floated into everyone's ears. "All Protectors, do not go near the living room. Perform your duties and do not leave your positions!"
"Yes!" Everyone shouted in a deep voice.
Zhou Lingfeng and the other middle-aged man landed in the living room. They looked at Chu Li and Fa Yuan calmly.
Chu Li looked at Zhou Lingfeng. His appearance did not change much. He was still skinny and thin, but his temperament was different. He was as calm as water and did not have the ferocious aura he had before. He looked harmless.
The other middle-aged man had a round face. He looked kind and friendly. He looked at Chu Li and Fa Yuan with a smile.
Chu Li turned his head and said, "Looks like his cultivation level has improved greatly. We're in trouble."
Fa Yuan chanted the name of Buddha. His expression was solemn. He slowly nodded. "Almsgiver Chu, if it really doesn't work, we can only kill them."
