[PS: The thirtieth alliance has been born. The alliance leader is Sword-playing without a sword!]
The morning air was exceptionally fresh. The woods were shrouded in a faint mist, and the chirping of birds was melodious.
However, Zhao Tianxing was not in such a good mood. He sat dejectedly at the stone table in the gazebo and sighed at Xiao Yueling. "Master's Junior, I didn't find anything. It looks like there's no hope."
Zhao Tianxing was dressed in a green robe. His tall figure and handsome face made him look like a dashing jade tree.
Xiao Yueling's face was covered by a white veil, revealing only her bright eyes. Her slanted eyebrows gave off a dignified aura as she glanced at Zhao Tianxing. "If there's nothing, then there's nothing."
"My mission when I left the mountain was to capture an Asura." Zhao Tianxing said, "Master's Junior, if I can't capture an Asura, how can I face Master when I return to the mountain!"
"Capturing an Asura isn't just about strength. It's also about luck." Xiao Yueling shook her head. "Your Master should understand. He won't blame you."
"Master always said that luck is also a form of strength. Without luck, strength alone is useless." Zhao Tianxing curled his lips and said helplessly, "Master said that my luck isn't that good. Because of Fa Yuan and Chu Li, I'll be overshadowed."
Xiao Yueling scoffed. "Your Master's way of thinking is strange. Don't listen to him!"
Zhao Tianxing smiled. "I think Master has a point. Luck is indeed very important. I'm not as good as Chu Li."
"Luck …" Xiao Yueling shook her head. "Luck is like the waves of the sea. There's a low tide and a high tide. If you rely on luck, you won't be able to achieve anything. If you don't have a strong will, what can you achieve?"
Zhao Tianxing nodded.
Xiao Yueling said, "Your Master has a weak personality. That's why he's so useless. Otherwise, with his qualifications, he would've achieved much more!"
"Master is already very impressive now," Zhao Tianxing said.
"Impressive?" Xiao Yueling said impatiently, "Think about Chu Li. He started out as a servant and climbed his way up to become a rank-one chief. How many steps did he climb? What about your Master? "
"Master feels that it's useless to struggle, so he's content." Zhao Tianxing smiled and said, "So, I started researching some strange martial arts. Master said that the Tempest Temple didn't suppress the Asuras out of kindness, but they wanted to create more powerful martial arts through the Asuras. Master also wanted to do the same."
"If Asura was so easy to study, the Tempest Temple would have succeeded long ago." Xiao Yueling shook her head and said, "The Asuras have very deep roots. They're also from the Grandmaster's Realm Beyond Heaven. Their martial arts are not the same as ours."
"But the sect elders all support Master." Zhao Tianxing sighed. "That's why I must capture Asuras when I leave the mountain this time. Master is waiting for me. He even said that if I can't capture Asuras, I might as well return to the mountain and never come out again."
"Nonsense!" Xiao Yueling scoffed.
Zhao Tianxing quickly nodded.
Xiao Yueling scoffed. "But since they've given the order, there's nothing I can do about it. I'll just have to take my time searching."
Zhao Tianxing's face instantly turned gloomy.
"Brother Chu, do you have any ideas?" Zhao Tianxing asked.
Xiao Yueling said, "Do you still want him to ask for one from the Tempest Temple?"
Zhao Tianxing smiled sheepishly.
Xiao Yueling frowned at him.
Zhao Tianxing said, "Master's Junior, I know this is very unambitious, but there's really nothing I can do. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. How can I possibly find one? Master and the others don't care what I do, as long as I can capture an Asura."
Xiao Yueling shook her head and said, "You … Just look for one yourself!"
As they spoke, Chu Li fluttered over with an Asura in his hand. He landed in the gazebo and tossed the Asura onto the ground. Then, he gave a fist salute and smiled. "Aunt, Brother Zhao."
"Brother Chu!" Zhao Tianxing was instantly overjoyed. He looked at the Asura on the ground. "Is this for us?"
Chu Li nodded. "I saw that you guys wanted one too, so I happened to encounter one. So, I caught it for you so that you don't have to fight with the Tempest Temple."
"How did you encounter it?" Xiao Yueling frowned. "You didn't ask for it from the Tempest Temple, did you?"
Chu Li waved his hand. "I don't have the face to do that. It was really a coincidence. Aunt, you and Brother Zhao are lucky."
"Haha, you're really lucky!" Zhao Tianxing beamed. "Brother Chu, you've really helped me a lot. I can't thank you enough. If you need my help in the future, just let me know!"
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
Zhao Tianxing's words were unreliable. Chu Li did not really intend to help him. He was just saying it, but deep down, he was still hostile toward him.
Xiao Yueling asked, "You encountered an Asura again?"
Chu Li replied, "The Asuras are very arrogant now. I can't help it."
"You have to be careful. Some Asuras are very powerful. You won't be able to defeat them." Xiao Yueling frowned. "If you see that the situation is not good, run away. Don't force yourself!"
Chu Li was a direct descendant of the High Duke's Public House. He was a master trained by the High Duke's Public House. He was different from the other Grandmasters of the High Duke's Public House. He was truly one of them. Moreover, he had that kind of relationship with Xiao Qi.
"Yes." Chu Li nodded and gave a fist salute. "I'll take my leave then."
"Go ahead." Xiao Yueling nodded.
Chu Li glided away.
Zhao Tianxing exclaimed, "Master's Junior, Brother Chu is really a good friend!"
Xiao Yueling glanced at him and asked, "Do you think he's a good friend?"
"Of course." Zhao Tianxing laughed heartily. "He knew that we wanted an Asura, so he caught one for us."
Xiao Yueling had already given up on him. "Go back now. Don't cause any more trouble. I've been wanting to go back to the sect."
Zhao Tianxing was overjoyed. "Thank you, Master's Junior!"
He understood that Xiao Yueling wanted to protect him as they returned to the mountain to avoid encountering powerful enemies.
He was extremely grateful for her concern.

Chu Li had given them an Asura, so he had no regrets.
He tried to use the All-Knowing Scripture again but did not discover anything.
The range of the All-Knowing Scripture was limited. Chu Li's cultivation level was still too weak, so it was impossible for him to detect Asuras that were too far away. He estimated that he could detect Asuras from a dozen miles away, but he would not be able to detect them any further. He would have to continue cultivating.
Since it was so dangerous, it was not appropriate for Xiao Shi to follow him. He put on the Fog Beast mask and transformed into Chu Lingfeng before appearing in a restaurant in Ji River Valley.
Ji River Valley was bustling as usual.
It was morning, so it was breakfast time. This restaurant was bustling with activity.
Chu Li went up to the third floor and found a seat. The people around him were leisurely eating and chatting.
"Have you heard?" Someone swallowed a mouthful of soup and raised his voice. "Another village has been massacred!"
"Sigh …" The people shook their heads.
"Elder Jiang, forget it. We're eating. Don't talk about these things that spoil your appetite!"
"It seems like the High Duke is going to take action personally this time!"
"If the High Duke doesn't take action, I'm afraid no one will be able to deal with these people!"
"It's such a pity, Second Young Master. I heard that he'll lose his arm!"
