The air in the hall seemed to have solidified. A pin drop could be heard. No one moved.
When Chu Li disappeared, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
They looked at Meng Chengfan mockingly and shook their heads.
Their mouths were loud, but they were also cowards. They were even more annoying than those who kept quiet and played dead. They all vented their anger on Meng Chengfan, their eyes full of ridicule and mockery.
Meng Chengfan gritted his teeth. The veins on his hands were visible. He was still exerting force, competing with himself.
His rationality told him that he should not move recklessly, lest he caused trouble for the Green Hill. Chu Li's identity was the Chief of Glory's Will Courtyard, an important figure in the Yi Public House, and also the Centurion of the Secret Guardians Hall. If he were to make a move, not only the Secret Guardians Hall, the Yi Public House would not sit idly by.
The last time Green Hill joined forces with the other four factions to attack the Yi Public House, they only suffered a small lesson. Although it hurt their vitality, it was much lighter than the annihilation of the Huanjian Sect. The Yi Public House must not be satisfied, but they were forced by the situation. They did not want to be entangled, so they only taught a lesson and stopped.
Now that the Yi Public House had recovered, Green Hill's vitality was greatly damaged. The Yi Public House was probably eyeing them. If he made a move, it would give them an excuse.
If he really made a move on Chu Li and provoked the Yi Public House's revenge, he would become a sinner of Green Hill!
However, deep down in his heart, he was filled with indignation and anger. He was angry at himself for being a coward and at Chu Li. He wanted nothing more than to slap Chu Li to death.
"Oh right!" A white shadow flashed. Chu Li suddenly appeared and smiled. "You received the letter. You should write me a reply so you can report to His Royal Highness. Thank you!"
Everyone was shocked.
This time, it was quiet. Everyone's attention was not divided. They still did not notice Chu Li's approach. They did not see how he appeared in front of them. Such cultivation level, such Light-body Technique, it was terrifying!
Meng Chengfan clenched his fists even tighter. He glared at Chu Li. He gritted his teeth and said word by word, "Chu, don't. Bully. People. Too. Much!"
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. He was surprised. "What do you mean? I sent a letter and asked for a certificate. Is that too much? "
"No!" Meng Chengfan snorted.
Chu Li shook his head. "Then I won't be able to answer to His Royal Highness. Even if His Royal Highness doesn't suspect that I didn't deliver the letter, he would still think that I didn't do things properly and would inevitably reprimand me, right?"
Meng Chengfan laughed coldly. He was delighted. Thinking about how he had been scolded, it was too delightful!
Chu Li sighed. "Looks like you're going to make me unhappy."
"Whatever you think!" Meng Chengfan humphed. "In any case, I won't write a reply!"
Chu Li looked at him gently. "Could it be that there's something that you can't say, that you can't leave the letter?"
"No!" Meng Chengfan turned his head and said impatiently.
"So, you did it on purpose?" Chu Li asked calmly.
"That's right!" Meng Chengfan said coldly, "I won't write a reply, what do you want?"
Chu Li sighed. "I've always been particular about persuading people with reason, and I value peace in everything. However, there are always people who bring this upon themselves and want to die by my hand. Whenever I encounter someone like that, I can only fulfill their wish."
"You want to make a move?" Meng Chengfan laughed coldly and said disdainfully, "This is Green Hill, not the Yi Public House. It's not a place where you can behave atrociously. We won't allow you to be so unbridled!"
Chu Li laughed and glanced at the crowd. He smiled and said, "Looks like you want to tie everyone to him and send them to their deaths together."
Everyone's faces darkened.
Chu Li's words showed that he did not respect them at all!
If they continued to ignore such humiliation, they would really be too ashamed to face anyone. Even if they did not make a move today, they had to!
However, their hearts kept sinking. It was widely rumored that Chu Li was extraordinarily intelligent. Since he was extraordinarily intelligent, his reaction to Meng Chengfan was like this. It seemed like he had the same thoughts as Meng Chengfan, to tie them to him and die with him.
It was obvious that he had the intention to kill, and he was full of confidence!
"Forget it!" Chu Li suddenly sighed. "It's easy to kill you, but it's a sin to kill everyone. I'll take a step back and take a token, right?"
Everyone secretly sighed in relief.
"No!" Meng Chengfan said coldly.
Everyone immediately tensed up and cursed in their hearts.
Chu Li sighed and shook his head. "Then I'll have to take it myself!"
In a flash, he disappeared from where he stood and appeared behind Meng Chengfan.
Meng Chengfan realized that something was wrong and threw a punch behind him.
"Bam!" Chu Li's fist collided with his.
Chu Li stood where he was while Meng Chengfan took two steps back. His face flushed red.
A strange fist force drilled in and devoured his inner energy like a whirlpool. No matter how hard he tried to drive it away, the devouring became faster and faster.
Chu Li took a step forward and hit his chest with his palm.
"Bam!" Meng Chengfan's movements were interrupted. He froze and stood still like a statue.
Chu Li reached out and pulled his waist tag off. He lowered his head and looked at it. It was a palm-sized white jade waist tag with the word "Meng" carved on one side and the words "Green Hill" carved on the other. It was extravagant and extraordinary.
Chu Li smiled. "Why did you have to do this? Why didn't you just give it to me! … Everyone, farewell! "
He gave everyone a fist salute and smiled before disappearing.
Everyone looked at Meng Chengfan with a dark expression.
"Pfft!" Meng Chengfan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell backward.
A Green Hill Master quickly reached out to support him. "Senior Meng!"
Meng Chengfan's face quickly paled and his complexion visibly turned gray.
"Quick, look at his injuries!" Someone shouted.
They were somewhat gloating. No one could do anything about it since he was courting death. He deserved to be injured. If Chu Li had not held back, they would have been the ones injured too!
The Green Hill Master touched Meng Chengfan's wrist with a dark expression.
Meng Chengfan coughed violently and started laughing as he panted.
"Elder Meng?"
"Haha, my martial arts has been crippled!" Meng Chengfan laughed.
"That's impossible, right?" Someone cried out.
Meng Chengfan turned his head and glanced at them. He laughed. "A bunch of cowards!"
Everyone was a little embarrassed but secretly felt lucky. Chu Li crippled Meng Chengfan in two moves. If it were them, how many moves could they have dodged?
"Quick, help Elder Meng down to rest." The round-faced middle-aged man shook his head and sighed. "If his martial arts is crippled, he can just cultivate again. It's no big deal. As long as he's fine!"
"That's not much different from being killed." Someone shook his head.
They could imagine the feeling of having their martial arts crippled, especially to Grandmasters like them. Without martial arts, it was like falling from the clouds into the mud. It was a fate worse than death.
"Sigh …" Everyone sighed to themselves.
They all thought that Elder Meng was asking to be humiliated and brought this upon himself.
Chu Li originally had no intention of making a move. It was Meng Chengfan who provoked him time and time again. He wanted to drag everyone along to make Chu Li stay, but all his schemes ended up like this!
"Cowards! A bunch of cowards! "Meng Chengfan turned his head and glared at them, laughing loudly.
His heart was filled with hatred. These people did not have any of the courage of the martial arts world. They were all cowards!
"Alright, quickly let Elder Meng down." The round-faced middle-aged man shook his head. "He's already so old, yet he's still acting like a young boy. The more courageous he is, the earlier he dies. Acting recklessly without judging the situation is asking for death!"
They saw Meng Chengfan's fate and were glad for their wisdom.
