"Hold on." Suru opened the cupboard and took out a long box.
She placed the box on the table and opened it. Inside was an antique long knife.
She took out the long knife and passed it to Chu Li.
Chu Li slowly reached out to take it.
As soon as he held the handle, he felt a sense of heroism. Back then when he fought alongside this knife, the scene of beheading people like cutting grass came to his mind. He felt an inexplicable connection with this knife.
He pulled out the long knife. Suddenly, the blade was bright and cold.
"Ding …" He flicked the blade with his finger and the clear sound lingered.
Suru took two steps back and sighed. "This knife has killed too many people. The killing intent is too strong."
She could feel an inexplicable coldness from the blade. She did not feel it when it was in the scabbard or in the box. Now that it was out of the scabbard, the killing intent seemed to surge out and the room became colder.
Chu Li waved the long knife. "The killing intent is too strong. Next time, let's sink it into the Crescent Lake and let the lake water wash away its killing intent."
"Hmm, sounds good." Suru nodded.
Chu Li's killing intent surged in his chest. The treasure knife seemed to be able to feel it as it trembled slightly.
"Are we leaving now?" Suru asked.
Chu Li nodded and reached out to touch his face.
When he put his hand down, he had changed his face. He was handsome and his body was elongated. He suddenly grew taller. Only the long knife in his hand and his white robe did not change.
Even though it was not Suru's first time seeing it, she still felt it was amazing. To train the Bone Shrinking Technique to this stage, it was really mysterious.
"Ahhh …" A soft moan was suddenly heard.
The two turned to look. Li Hanyan was slowly waking up on the bed. She called out softly, "Water … water …"
Suru went forward and supported her back. She slowly lifted her up and picked up the teacup on the table. It was filled with warm water. She slowly brought it to her pale and cracked lips.
Li Hanyan greedily drank two big mouthfuls and slowly opened her eyes.
Her eyes lit up and she called out in disbelief, "Brother … Brother Du?"
Chu Li smiled warmly. "It's me."
Li Hanyan struggled to sit up. Suru smiled and pushed her to sit up straight. She put two pillows on her back.
Chu Li waved his hand. "Don't move around, you haven't fully recovered from your injuries."
Li Hanyan felt a warm current flowing through her body, as if she was soaking in a hot spring. It was so comfortable that she wanted to fall asleep. Knowing that Big Brother Du was healing her, she sighed, "I thought I would never see Big Brother Du again."
"Do you think you're going to die?" Chu Li laughed.
Li Hanyan nodded lightly.
This time, she had once again experienced death and was on the verge of despair.
If her master hadn't risked his life to save her, she would have died. Even if her master risked his life, she felt that she wouldn't be able to survive after she came back. The darkness swallowed her like a tide. Before she fainted, she had a premonition that she would never wake up again.
Before the darkness completely engulfed her, the biggest regret in her heart was that she could not see Brother Du again. She did not have the time to say goodbye to Brother Du.
Chu Li said, "Consider yourself lucky this time. From now on, you have to calm down and cultivate your martial arts. You can only go out when your martial arts is strong enough, so that you won't encounter something like this again!"
"Yes." Li Hanyan nodded obediently.
"Since you're awake, channel your energy to heal yourself. I'll go out for a while and deal with those guys," Chu Li said.
"Big Brother Du wants to kill them?" Li Hanyan asked.
Chu Li nodded.
"I'll go too!" Li Hanyan hurriedly said.
"No!" Su Ru hurriedly said, "You're so badly injured, why are you going!"
"My injury is not a big deal," Li Hanyan hurriedly said.
Su Ru said, "He's going to kill people. What's there to see? Moreover, it's a dangerous battle. You'll only add to the chaos if you go!"
"Big Brother Du, I want to see how they die with my own eyes!" Li Hanyan pursed her lips and scoffed. "Not only did those six guys want to kill us, but they also insulted Master. I must see how they die!"
"Hmm — —?!" Su Ru frowned, anger surging within her.
Master was beautiful and gentle, yet they dared to insult her. They deserved to die!
Chu Li pondered for a while and nodded. "Hmm, it's good that you go and see. … You heal yourself first. I'll come back tomorrow."
He had the intention to nurture Li Hanyan. She had an extremely high aptitude and could become a top-notch master in the future. It would be beneficial for her to gain more experience now.
Now that his knowledge of martial arts was becoming more and more profound, he gradually understood that many masters found it difficult to break through realms because they lacked this kind of experience.
"Thank you, Big Brother Du. My injury will definitely be healed tomorrow," Li Hanyan beamed and said excitedly.
Chu Li smiled. "Don't be too greedy and rush ahead. You'll hurt yourself instead."
"Understood!" Li Hanyan nodded vigorously.
Chu Li looked at Su Ru. "Then I'll come back tomorrow. Help her heal."
"… Alright." Su Ru could only agree.
She felt that there was nothing to see in killing people. However, watching the people who insulted Master get killed was delightful. It was understandable that Li Hanyan wanted to go. If Chu Li did not find it troublesome, she would not say anything.

When Chu Li returned to Tianshu Courtyard, Xiao Shi was pacing in the courtyard.
As soon as she saw him, Xiao Shi quickly went up to him. "What happened?"
Chu Li said, "Someone at Snow Lunar Pavilion was seriously injured and almost lost her life. Fortunately, I went."
If he did not go, Li Hanyan would be fine. With the Spirit Blessing Pill, she could slowly recover. However, Shen Yinghu would die. It was a sin to think that the charming and graceful Shen Yinghu would become a corpse.
"Little sister?" Xiao Shi asked.
Chu Li shook his head. "Third Lady's master."
"What's going on?"
"Sit down and talk." Chu Li came to the stone table and sat down.
Siao Shi glared at him in annoyance and sat opposite him. Her eyes that were as deep as a lake stared at him.
Chu Li told her about the incident.
"It's the Holy Church of Light again!" Xiao Shi said hatefully. "Looks like they really want to unify the martial arts world of the Ji Dynasty!"
Chu Li said, "Let's wait and see. That might not be the case."
He could not determine the goal of the Holy Church of Light. He needed to investigate. If the Holy Church of Light did not do anything big in the Li Dynasty, they would not unify the martial arts world of the Ji Dynasty.
It was noon the next day. The sun was bright. It was the perfect weather to kill.
Chu Li flashed to Snow Lunar Pavilion.
When he stepped into Su Ru's waterside pavilion, he had already transformed into Du Feng.
He saw Xiao Qi in the Omniscient Mirror. She was still sitting by the lake like a jade statue. She did not move and blended into the lake.
He felt sweet when he saw her. The entire Snow Lunar Pavilion felt especially close to her because she was there.
Shen Yinghu was channeling on the bed. Her breathing was even. Her injuries had stabilized and she could slowly recover.
Lee Hanyan's injuries were much better. She could already channel to fight. It was obvious that she did not sleep the whole night. She had been channeling to heal.
Chu Li took the treasure knife from Su Ru. He held Lee Hanyan's sleeve and flew away.
The two left Snow Lunar Pavilion. After going down the mountain, they went straight to a small town twenty miles away. They came to a restaurant in the town.
The restaurant's flag fluttered in the wind. The words "Tempest Restaurant" could be seen in half of the town.
Li Hanyan's face was covered with a white veil, concealing her beautiful features. She was dressed in a pink gown, looking graceful and graceful. Du Feng was handsome, his white robe fluttering in the wind, with a long knife at his waist. They were indeed a perfect match.
As soon as they stepped into the restaurant, they attracted everyone's attention.
There were six middle-aged men sitting at a table by the window on the third floor. The two tables were joined together. They were talking with their heads lowered.
They were all dressed in white, spotless. When they saw the two, they turned to look at them and continued talking.
Two of the middle-aged men stared at Lee Hanyan thoughtfully. They seemed to have recognized her.
Chu Li sat at the table next to them. He ordered a pot of wine and two dishes to go with it.
"The patrol is coming today, right?" A handsome middle-aged man asked.
