Chu Li closed fist saluted.
"Master Chen, you are the cousin of the Association Leader. Don't harm the Association Leader, okay?" Xu Anxia said bluntly.
He saw that Chu Li and Chen Siyu had a close relationship. He could not help but feel jealous and inexplicably hostile towards Chu Li.
Chen Siyu frowned, "Guardian Xu!"
Chu Li smiled, "I will not harm my cousin."
"At this time, you are not advising the Association Leader to escape. You want to go and see? Aren't you courting death?!" Xu Anxia angrily asked, "Are you Zhao Lun's man?"
Chu Li laughed. Jealousy and anger could really destroy a person's rationality. This Xu Anxia had a crush on Chen Siyu. It was really interesting.
"Guardian Xu!" Chen Siyu frowned and said unhappily, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Xu Anxia saw that she was protecting Chu Li and became even angrier, "Association Leader, everyone is fighting for a chance of survival for you. Why are you so reckless?"
"Guardian Xu!" Chen Siyu's face sank and said coldly, "I have made up my mind. Let's go."
When Xu Anxia saw her cold gaze, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He glared fiercely at Chu Li and turned to leave.
Chen Siyu helplessly shook her head at Chu Li. This was her current situation. She had no prestige. Her words were useless. There were always people who doubted and refuted her.
Chu Li smiled.
"Yue Er, you stay." Chen Siyu said.
Yue Er quickly said, "My Lady, I will go with you. Even if we die, we will die together!"
"You won't die. You stay here." Chen Siyu rolled her eyes, "Don't cause trouble!"
Chu Li said, "Miss Yue Er, don't worry … You can make us some supper. After a fight in the middle of the night, we will inevitably be hungry. We can eat when we come back."
"… Yes." Yue Er reluctantly agreed. She knew that she could not help even if she went.
Xu Anxia sneered. What a big tone. Could it be that he had practiced martial arts and was a hidden master? What a joke!
The three of them came to the hall. Zhao Lun had already pressured the three clan leaders to the point that they could not breathe. There was blood at the corner of their mouths.
"Association Leader!" Hu Hai saw Chen Siyu and the others coming. He was shocked and glared fiercely at Xu Anxia.
Xu Anxia glared at Chu Li.
"Ding …" A crisp sound was heard. The Rain Hall Leader's long saber flew out of his hand. Then, he was slapped away by a palm.
"Bang!" The Rain Hall Leader fell heavily at the feet of the three of them, blood gushing out of his mouth.
Chen Siyu's expression changed. Everyone's expression changed as well. The three of them were no match for him, let alone the two of them. Defeat was imminent!
Chu Li shook his head. Suddenly, he appeared in front of Zhao Lun in a flash and pressed his palm down lightly.
Zhao Lun sneered and raised his hand.
"Bang!" A muffled sound rang out as Zhao Lun was flung away like a stone. He crashed heavily into the hall's carved lattice door.
"Kacha!" The carved lattice door broke into pieces.
Zhao Lun flipped over and stood up. With a roar, he shot towards Chu Li.
Chu Li placed his left hand behind his back and met the attack with his right palm. The Infinite Azure Sea had already reached its third fold and was completely concentrated in his right palm.
Bang! Zhao Lun was sent flying. He spat out a mouthful of blood in the air and landed heavily on the green stone floor outside the hall. He rolled a few times before coming to a stop.
Chu Li shook his head and bent down to pick up the long saber. In a flash, he disappeared and reappeared behind Zhao Lun. With a flash of the saber, a fountain of blood spurted into the sky. Zhao Lun's head flew into the air.
Chen Siyu's pretty face turned pale. She bit her lower lip to prevent herself from screaming.
Chu Li's expression was normal. He shook the long saber. The blood fell to the ground and the saber returned to its original state.
He returned to his original position in a flash and returned the saber to the Rain Hall Leader.
The Rain Hall Leader, He Shou, stared at him.
He had a square face with a ruddy complexion. His eyebrows were white like frost. He looked like he had been through a lot.
Chu Li smiled. "Clan Leader, I apologize for my rudeness. Thank you for your precious saber."
"May I know who you are?"
"Elder He, this is the Association Leader's cousin, Chen Li, Young Master Chen!" Hu Hai laughed. "I didn't expect Young Master Chen Li to have such martial arts. I admire you. You are indeed a young hero!"
They were all the founding members of the Association. They fought their way to this position. Although Chu Li was ruthless, they did not think much of it. Only Xu Anxia avoided looking at Chu Li.
He remembered what he said earlier and blushed.
"So it's Young Master Chen Li." He Shou sighed and swallowed the pill. He shook his head and smiled bitterly. "I'm really old and useless now."
Chu Li smiled. "Clan Leader He is still in the prime of his life. I can't always stay by my cousin's side. My cousin still needs the support of all the elders!"
"Hehe, of course!" He Shou laughed. "It's our duty to assist the Association Leader. Of course, we will do our best!"
Chu Li closed fist saluted. "I thank all the elders here!"
"Hehe … you're welcome …" Everyone closed fist saluted politely.
In martial arts, the strong were respected. Chu Li was young, but he had such a ghostly body technique and a strong cultivation level. Of course, they would not look for trouble.
Seeing how Chu Li did not even flinch after killing someone, he must be a ruthless person.
Xu Anxia was a little anxious. Although he had killed before, he had never beheaded someone like this. He felt that Chu Li was cold-hearted and not a good person. He could not afford to offend him.
Chu Li gave Chen Siyu a look.
Chen Siyu smiled. "Four Clan Leaders, two Guardians, come to the backyard. It's too messy here. It's not a good place to talk."
"Hehe, sorry to bother the Association Leader." Hu Hai laughed.
The six of them came to the backyard. It was quiet and fragrant. It was much better than the main hall. It was natural to sit and talk here. It was like they were a family.
Yue Er tactfully served their supper.
Their injuries were not serious. After consuming the medicinal pills, the medicinal energy would slowly dissolve and they would slowly recover in the future. With so many people surrounding them, Zhao Lun did not allow himself to be ruthless. If it was just one person, Zhao Lun would have most likely killed him with a palm strike.
"Association Leader, our strength is still too weak!" Hu Hai finished the meat porridge in one gulp. He put down the white porcelain bowl and wiped his mouth. He sighed. "Just one Mountain's Split and he defeated all of us. It's so embarrassing!"
Chen Siyu frowned. "The Foreign Officials have something to do tonight. If there were two Foreign Officials, wouldn't it be better?"
"The two Foreign Officials are about the same cultivation level as us. They can't stop Zhao Lun!" He Shou put down the bowl and shook his head. "Elder Hu, what do you think?"
"There's nothing we can do." Hu Hai shook his head. "What can we do if our martial arts are bad?"
They were all old and had reached the peak of their martial arts. It was not easy to maintain their peak. It was almost impossible to go further.
He looked at Xu Anxia. "It's up to Young Xu!"
"We'll talk about it when he's an Innate Master!" Yi Xingzhi, the Wind Clan Leader, scoffed.
He was thin and of medium build. His face was thin and gloomy. His eyes flickered as if he was thinking all the time.
Xu Anxia lowered his head in embarrassment.
He was able to become a Guardian because he was the best of the best. After he perfected his acquired mastery, he had not been able to break through the innate barrier. He was very anxious. Unfortunately, the more anxious he was, the more useless it was.
"But with Master Chen Li around, we feel more at ease!" Hu Hai laughed.
Chu Li shook his head. "I like to travel. I can't stand being restrained. I can't stay in one place for too long. I'll leave soon."
Chen Siyu said, "The key is to strengthen the Startling Cloud Association."
"We don't have any talented people in the Startling Cloud Association. Young Xu is already the best." Yi Xingzhi shook his head.
He Shou said, "I heard that the Equal of Heaven Association has two young talents. They're about the same as Young Xu. They have the potential to become innate masters. If they're one step ahead of us, then our strength will be weak!"
They drank the porridge and discussed the affairs of the association.
Chu Li did not interrupt them. He used the Omniscient Mirror to look at their thoughts.
Chen Siyu listened quietly. She finally felt like the Association Leader.
After finishing the porridge, they chatted until late at night. Then, they left one by one.
After Chen Siyu sent them off, she returned to the backyard and let out a long sigh of relief. She had finally gotten rid of Zhao Lun. She had gotten rid of a big threat. The four Clan Leaders had also submitted to her. Her days in the future would be much easier. The most difficult hurdle was finally over.
The next day, the Startling Cloud Association sent out a notice that Zhao Lun had broken into the Xu Residence at night and was killed. Zhao Lun's relatives could come and collect his corpse. The Startling Cloud Association clearly distinguished between kindness and hatred.
Everyone in the Cloud State Town knew about the famous Mountain's Split. Originally, many people were waiting to see Xu Zhichun make a fool of himself. They wanted to see if he could handle it. They did not expect that Zhao Lun would be killed. The Startling Cloud Association was indeed the number one association in the Cloud State Town.
In the following days, the Cloud State Town returned to peace.
Chen Siyu became the Association Leader. With Chu Li as a deterrent, the four Clan Leaders were very obedient. The concept of strength was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Chen Siyu had a strong martial arts backing her up. They had no choice but to restrain themselves.
Ten days later, the Clan Leader of the Wind Clan was stabbed to death in his sleep. He was beheaded. When he was killed, he was writing a letter to the Equal of Heaven Association.
The three Clan Leaders of the Startling Cloud Association knew who did this. They were in awe.
Chu Li's skills were like a ghost or a god. Killing them was a piece of cake. Yi Xingzhi was a mole. They had known each other for many years and yet they did not realize it!
They suspected that this was a framing. The Association Leader wanted to make room for Yi Xingzhi so that he could promote his trusted subordinates and completely control the Startling Cloud Association.
While they were still in doubt, Chu Li silently left and returned to the House of High Duke.
Before leaving, Chu Li told Chen Siyu his address. If anything happened, she could immediately send someone to Chong Ming Town to find him. He would rush over quickly.
He specifically told the messenger to look for him at his residence in the town. He must not go to the House of High Duke. This was to avoid attracting attention and endless trouble.
Chen Siyu understood that if someone followed her and saw her people going to the House of High Duke, the Startling Cloud Association would become the public enemy of the martial arts world.
