Chu Li's index finger tapped on the stone table as he pondered. "A hermit who is nearing the end of his lifespan, looks like he wants to perish together with me."
Zheng Lide kept quiet.
He believed that with the Head Chief's intelligence, his words were enough.
Chu Li sighed. "Sigh … His Royal Highness is really scheming to kill me! … Commander Zheng, do I know Revered Sir Xu Ning's divine power? "
Zheng Lide was stunned and shook his head.
Chu Li said, "Revered Sir Xu Ning has the Eye of Insight, so your thoughts can't be hidden from His Royal Highness."
"Ah — —?" Zheng Lide was shocked.
Although he was loyal to His Royal Highness, it was not like he had never done anything wrong. It was inevitable that he would play some tricks to gain personal benefits.
If Revered Sir Xu Ning had the Eye of Insight, everything about him would be exposed. He would not be able to hide it from His Royal Highness!
Chu Li said, "However, the Eye of Insight isn't omnipotent. It can only see what you're thinking at the moment, and some of your messy thoughts can't be seen either. It can only see the clearest thoughts at that moment."
Zheng Lide stood up and bowed. "Thank you, Head Chief."
Chu Li smiled. "You're a smart person, you should know how to deal with it."
"Yes," Zheng Lide said.
He immediately understood what the Head Chief meant. When facing Revered Sir Xu Ning, he would think of being loyal to His Royal Highness, so he had to deceive himself first and not think about other thoughts.
This way, Revered Sir Xu Ning would not be able to know his other thoughts.
Chu Li said, "His Royal Highness is scheming to kill me, do you think he can succeed?"
"This …" Zheng Lide hesitated and said helplessly, "I'm afraid it'll be very difficult."
He had witnessed the Head Chief's abilities, especially his Light-body Technique. If he wanted to escape, almost no one could stop him unless he attacked the Princess. However, the Head Chief was so smart, how could he not think of this? He must have a backup plan.
It was not that His Royal Highness did not know this, he also knew that the Head Chief was difficult to kill, but the hatred in his heart could not be dispelled. Without reason, he could only be impulsive. He had to kill the Head Chief to appease his anger and clear his thoughts.
As subordinates, they did not dare to dissuade him, lest they bring trouble upon themselves and be seen as disloyal by His Royal Highness.
The Prince was now very sensitive about this. He often suspected that they were siding with the Head Chief.
Chu Li smiled and said, "As the Protector Commander of His Royal Highness, you must make a move against me. However, I don't want to be forced to eliminate you, so you can give me a heads up beforehand. Isn't it great that you can deal with both of us with ease?"
Zheng Lide smiled bitterly. "Head Chief, this is playing with fire."
Chu Li smiled. "It's better than losing your life, right? Besides, you don't have to come over next time. I'll go over quietly. You just need to put a sign at the door and I'll come quietly at night. "
Zheng Lide remained silent.
He was thinking about whether this would work and whether His Highness would notice.
Chu Li said, "Take the initiative to tell His Royal Highness about what happened today. If His Royal Highness sympathizes with you, he will let you come clean the next time you encounter something like this."
"I'm afraid that Your Highness won't …" Zheng Lide smiled bitterly.
His Royal Highness was not as understanding as the Head Chief. If he really told him about what happened today, His Royal Highness would definitely hold a grudge. He would feel that he was afraid of death and would not be able to handle such a big responsibility. He would slowly give him the cold shoulder and find someone else to replace him.
Chu Li smiled. "Even if His Royal Highness doesn't sympathize with you, today's incident can be considered over. Otherwise, you'll always have something on your mind and give yourself away when you face Revered Sir Xu Ning."
"… Yes," Zheng Lide said in a low voice.
He secretly scratched his head. He was a straightforward person. He did not have so many twists and turns. He could fight, but he was not good at using his brain. His Royal Highness only trusted him because he saw this. When faced with someone as smart as the Head Chief, he could only be led by the nose.

Under the moonlight, Chu Li was practicing his fist technique in the courtyard.
He lightly tapped and a solid inner energy formed. It whistled and shot towards the sky.
He shook his head in dissatisfaction. The key to the power of the Divine Light Fist was that the fist force had the effect of burning inner energy. It was extremely difficult to deal with. If the fist force could not be controlled outside the body, it would be a big problem once it entered the body.
If the fist force was to be controlled outside the body, the purity of the two people's inner energy must be very different. If the inner energy purity was about the same, it would be endless trouble when it met with the Divine Light Fist.
This was somewhat similar to the Cloud Slashing Power.
If he used the Cloud Slashing Power to activate the Divine Light Fist, what would the effect be?
The heart technique of the Divine Light Fist was complicated. It was not something an ordinary person could cultivate. He had to spend some effort to cultivate it. He could not cultivate it in one go.
One punch after another, he gradually became familiar with it and slowly mastered the Divine Light Fist.
He punched himself and carefully felt the fist force.
The fist force did not burn but it devoured. It was similar to using the Cloud Slashing Power to compete with inner energy. This ball of inner energy continuously devoured inner energy and slowly grew.
In this way, it was equivalent to using the Cloud Slashing Power from a distance. His method of defending against the enemy was better.
He sensed his own cultivation and revealed a smile.
With the Life and Death Scripture and the Cloud Slashing Power, his cultivation level had increased tremendously during this period of time.
Endless spiritual energy from Heaven and Earth entered his body and turned into the inner energy of the Cloud Slashing Power. After a few circulations, it became extremely pure and was swallowed by the Heavenly Demonic Orb. Then, the process was repeated. The spiritual energy was endless and his spirit was strong. As long as there was no disturbance, he could continue to cultivate and the Cloud Slashing Power would not stop.
After a while, the Heavenly Demonic Orb had devoured more inner energy of the Cloud Slashing Power than from others. He was slightly closer to the sixth level.
According to his estimation, he only needed to cultivate for half a year to reach the sixth level of the Heavenly Demonic Power.

Liu Xing and the other three immediately used their Light-body Technique to hurry on their journey.
To them, riding a horse was a burden. Their Light-body Technique was extremely high and their speed was far from that of a horse. Moreover, their inner energy was endless. The inner energy that was consumed by the Light-body Technique could not be replenished at a speed that could not be maintained.
The moonlight was like water as they entered a canyon.
The stone walls on both sides did not have slopes. They were straight up and down and were so tall that they could reach the sky.
Only a sliver of the sky could be seen in the canyon. The moonlight illuminated the canyon and the surroundings were exceptionally quiet.
"This is a good place for an ambush!" Huo Yuhao said.
Xiang Feixue smiled. "Even if they want to ambush us, they'll have to catch up to us first."
Ever since they left the Imperial Residence of King An and the Fairy's Capital, they had been running for two days. Other than meditating for four hours and eating, they had been running non-stop.
With their Light-body Technique, they did not believe that they would be overtaken by the other party and have the time to set up an ambush.
So what if they smeared a strange fragrance on the letter? This kind of trick was just a petty trick. It was not worth mentioning in front of powerful martial arts. Even if they could track them, whether they could catch up to them or not was the main issue.
"Hehe …" Xiang Feixue suddenly laughed and shook his head. "It's funny to think of these people chasing us with all their might. Don't think they're still chasing us when we're already at the Green Hill. Interesting!"
Ying Wuqiu had been quiet all this while. He opened his mouth and said, "Everyone, don't underestimate His Royal Highness's methods. I'm afraid he might not have expected us to do this!"
"Oh, that's true." Liu Xing nodded. "We still have to be careful."
"Rumble!" A dull sound was heard.
"Rumble!" Another dull sound was heard.
