Lu Yurong's face was as white as jade. Her eyes were cold as stars as she looked at her.
The ladies knew it was too late to stop her. They could only watch.
Lu Yurong extended her fingers and poked Chu Li's chest twice. She frowned and stopped. The energy entered his body. It was like entering a piece of wood. Chu Li's body was like a withered tree. His acupuncture points had disappeared.
She took a deep breath and continued. She poked thirty-six times in one go. Then, she formed a mudra with her hands and the light around her slowly dissipated.
The warm glow slowly disappeared from her body. She spat out another mouthful of blood.
"Lady, Master is here!" Xiao Mei called from afar.
High Duke Lu wore a green tunic. He looked handsome and carefree. He strode to the gazebo.
Seeing Lu Yurong's pale face and unfocused gaze, he scoffed. "Nonsense!"
He stretched out his palm and patted her back, transferring a thick stream of inner energy to her.
Lu Yurong was energized. Her eyes lit up. "Father!"
"Don't worry. Head Chief Chu Li cannot die in our residence!" High Duke Lu scoffed. He touched Chu Li's wrist and pressed on his chest. He frowned and retracted his hand. He shook his head. "It's too late!"
He turned his head. "Did he consume the Adversity Surpassing Pill?"
"Yes." Xiao Mei nodded.
High Duke Lu reached into Chu Li's pocket. He took out a jade bottle and poured out five dark green pills. "This is the Spirit Blessing Pill from the Yi Public House!"
He stuffed one into Chu Li's mouth. "Logically, as long as he has not died for more than six hours, the Spirit Blessing Pill can save him! But if he still dies after consuming the Adversity Surpassing Pill, then this is his fate. Not even the gods can save him! "
"Father!" Lu Yurong was annoyed.
High Duke Lu said, "Little girl, life and death are up to fate. We don't even care about our own lives, let alone someone else's!"
He had seen enough of life and death. His tone was relaxed as if the one who died was just an ant.
Lu Yurong glared at him.
"Why? You really like this kid?" High Duke Lu was stunned.
Lu Yurong scoffed, "He only ended up like this because he tried to save me. If it wasn't for me, he wouldn't have been injured, and he wouldn't have died!"
"A hero saving a damsel in distress …" High Duke Lu nodded. "He's a man!"
Lu Yurong asked, "Can he be saved?"
She had great confidence in Chu Li. She had always felt that Chu Li was the kind of person who would not die even if others died. Even when she saw Chu Li take his last breath, she had a feeling that Chu Li's survival was just a joke.
High Duke Lu shook his head and said, "Looks like it's hopeless."
"Impossible!" Lu Yurong shook her head.
High Duke Lu checked Chu Li's mouth and nose, then touched his chest. He shook his head and said, "His heart is not beating, his breath is not coming out, and his body is starting to stiffen. He's really dead!"
"That's impossible!" Lu Yurong scoffed as she approached Chu Li and touched his wrist.
Blood was dripping from the corner of her mouth. The secret technique she had used just now had aggravated her injuries.
Pressing his finger down, he found that there was no longer any rebound from the berserk strength. Pushing his inner force in, he found that it was like a block of wood, devoid of life.
Lu Yurong gritted her teeth and shook her head. "He can't be dead!"
Chu Li's smile seemed to be right in front of her. Looking at the corpse in front of her, it did not seem like a person. She could not believe that this was real.
"Anyone can die." High Duke Lu patted her shoulder and sighed.
His daughter had finally fallen in love with a man, but she was about to lose him again. She would never be able to open her heart again. She would have to live the rest of her life alone and die alone!
As for Chu Li's death, he was not too affected. There were many young talents who died every year, Chu Li was not one of them.
Others could die, but not Chu Li?
"Let him rest in peace. Bury him as soon as possible." He said gently, "If he dies, then he dies. It's not a big deal."
Lu Yurong shook her head. "He won't die!"
"You …" High Duke Lu looked at her stubborn expression and did not try to persuade her anymore. He said gently, "Heal your wounds first. Do you want to go with him? Then what should I do as his father? "
Lu Yurong turned to look at him. "Don't worry, I'm fine!"
She took a deep breath and said faintly, "I haven't gotten my revenge yet!"
"That's right!" High Duke Lu sighed in relief and said gently, "Let's get our revenge first!"
After this period, no matter how sad it was, it would fade away. No matter how strong the feelings were, they would not be able to withstand the erosion of time.

Fu Mengshan and Xu Huande widened their eyes and looked at the three Ning Brothers who were dejected.
"Lost him?" Fu Mengshan touched his chin and said gently, "Why did you lose him? The Ning Family's tracking technique is the best in the world!"
"After a huge battle, Gu Qi disappeared." Ning Boyuan said, "Commander, we suspect that a master took him away. This person's Light-body Technique is superb, we can't catch up."
"So, Gu Qi is not dead?" Fu Mengshan frowned and looked at Ning Boyuan. "If he's not dead, we're doomed!"
Ning Boyuan said, "Gu Qi must have been injured. The blood left there is his."
"Maybe he's already dead. If not, there would be other people's blood at the scene," Ning Zhongyuan said.
Ning Boyuan shook his head. "The most likely possibility is that Gu Qi is not dead. He was taken away by a master."
"… What about Young Chu?" Fu Mengshan turned his head and said, "Elder Xu, looks like we still need Young Chu to do this. His tracking technique is better!"
Xu Huande shook his head. "We didn't find him. He probably didn't listen to us and went after him secretly."
"That's good. Young Chu shouldn't have any dirt in his eyes!" Fu Mengshan smiled.
Ning Boyuan frowned. "Since the Centurion took action, it's very likely that it was the Centurion and the master who escorted Gu Qi! It's impossible for anyone else to catch up to Gu Qi. Only the Centurion could be one step ahead of us. "
"Yes." Ning Zhongyuan nodded.
Ning Jiyuan did not say a word.
"Young Chu didn't come back. Looks like he didn't succeed. This time, the Holy Church of Light will not repeat the same mistake and let Young Chu kill to his heart's content. Young Chu might be in danger. "Fu Mengshan sighed.
They did not let Chu Li go after Gu Qi because they were worried about this.
The Holy Church of Light would not suffer the same loss twice. This time, they must have sent a top-notch master, a top-notch master who could take care of Chu Li.
"Chu Li is very smart. He won't die so easily." Xu Huande said.
Fu Mengshan nodded. "Alright then, let's wait for Young Chu's good news!"
After they dispersed, they could only wait for Chu Li's news. The Secret Guardians Hall could not do much other than chase after Gu Qi.
As the days passed, the pressure on the Secret Guardians Hall increased.
Five days had passed and there was still no sign of Chu Li. His Light-body Technique was peerless. After killing Gu Qi, he could return within a day. He could run back and forth a few times in five days. If he still did not return, it would be bad!
Siao Shi sent someone to ask about Chu Li's situation the next day.
No matter how busy Chu Li was, no matter what he had to do, he would always use God's Limbs to meet her. Even after the incident at Crouching Bull Mountain, he would still come and greet her every day.
