There were many spies from the High Duke's Public House in the city. While the crowd was still discussing, a burly young man strode up to the third floor. Behind him were five people, including an old man with a white beard and eyebrows who held a folding fan and four middle-aged Protectors.
When the crowd saw the burly young man, they made way and fist saluted. "Eldest Young Master!"
The burly young man had an ordinary appearance, but his square face was kind and upright. He fist saluted them one by one in return, looking serious and calm. He stood in front of the pillar and studied the words.
The crowd stared at him.
The burly young man frowned after reading the words, then looked around and shook his head.
From the powder on the ground, he knew that the cultivation level of these two people was very high. He was far inferior to them, and only his father could fight them.
Very troublesome! He was in the Public House, and his father was not around. Although the Protectors around him were strong, they could not reach the cultivation level of these two people!
The old man behind him waved his folding fan and chuckled. "That's just sensationalism. There's no Asura!"
The burly young man glanced at him.
The old man gave him a look and shook his head. "Whether it's an Asura or not, everyone can tell at a glance. When Asuras fight, they usually turn into skeletons. Did that guy turn into a skeleton?"
The crowd shook their heads.
"No."
"He's quite a normal person."
The elder nodded in satisfaction. "Isn't that right? Everyone, don't worry, the High Duke's Public House will keep the Asuras out of the city. We've sent masters to guard the city gates, so they won't be able to enter. Everyone, just relax!"
The crowd breathed a sigh of relief.
The burly young man frowned and turned to leave with his hands behind his back.
The five people quickly followed him out of the restaurant.
"Mister Lu, are you afraid that everyone will panic if they find out?" The burly young man asked.
The old man sighed and nodded. "Eldest Young Master, this person should be an Asura."
The burly young man was the eldest son of the Ji Public House, Zhou Zifeng, and the old man was the guest, Lu Yuancheng.
Zhou Zifeng said, "How dare he!"
"This guy's cultivation level is really scary. If Young Master Xiao didn't lure him away, I don't know what would have happened!" Lu Yuancheng looked worried. "I'm worried that he's trying to lure us away!"
"It can't be?" Zhou Zifeng's expression changed slightly.
"The intelligence of the Asuras cannot be underestimated. We cannot treat them as monsters who only know how to kill!" Lu Yuancheng said. "Now it all depends on that Young Master Chu. I wonder who he is."
Zhou Zifeng said, "His surname is Chu and his cultivation level is extremely high. Could it be Chu Li?"
"It's very possible," Lu Yuancheng said.
"Would Chu Li be so kind?" Zhou Zifeng scoffed and furrowed his brows. "We'll have to send a letter to Father immediately and ask him to come back … At the same time, seal off the news in the city. Don't let news of Asura spread!"
"Yes." Lu Yuancheng cupped his fists.

Chu Li seemed to be riding the wind as he glided forward at an incredible speed.
However, the old man was faster than him, and the distance between them was gradually shortened.
Just as he was about to get close, the old man sent out an Asura Palm.
Chu Li easily dodged the attack without slowing down at all.
He had the Omniscient Mirror and the Nature Restoration Manifestation. With both of them combined, he could predict the elder's movements. As long as the distance was far enough, he would be able to react.
He estimated that in order to dodge the elder's attack calmly, he would need to be at least ten meters away.
It would be very dangerous within ten meters. Even if he could predict the elder's movements, the elder's movements were too fast for him to react in time and he could only watch helplessly as he was beaten.
The Omniscient Mirror was constantly activated to observe the changes in the elder's thoughts. Once he had the intention to return to Ji River Valley, Chu Li would immediately turn around and use the Spear Finger Strike.
The Spear Finger Strike was an antique study unique to the Tempest Temple. When he saw it, the elder's killing intent surged and he rushed toward Chu Li again.
Chu Li's speed was not as fast as his, but every time he was about to catch up, he would suddenly turn in another direction. This sudden change in speed and abruptly increase the distance between them once again.
The elder's heart was burning with anger and his killing intent was almost tangible.
As they got further away from Ji River Valley, Chu Li stopped using the Spear Finger Strike and rushed forward. At the same time, he used the Cloud Slashing Power to purify his inner energy and prepare for the next finger strike.
The two of them ran for nearly a thousand miles in one go. When the moonlight became hazy, Chu Li's aura was still surging and he did not seem to be exhausted.
The elder, on the other hand, was a little tired. Initially, he wanted to rely on his profound cultivation level to exhaust Chu Li's inner energy and then teach him a lesson. He wanted him to scream in pain for a few days before he died to avenge the Tempest Temple's scheme. Therefore, he did not kill him right away as he was afraid that he would lose control and kill him directly.
Now that Chu Li's aura was surging, he knew that if this went on, he would lose first. Suddenly, his flesh shrank and he turned into a skeleton. His eyes glowed red like two swords.
"Bang!" With a sudden flash, he moved as fast as a phantom and appeared behind Chu Li in an instant before he struck with his palm.
Chu Li did not dodge. Instead, he gathered the finger force that he had painstakingly prepared and pointed his left index finger at the elder's chest.
At the same time, his chest was hit by a Shura Palm and he was sent flying. The Heavenly Demonic Orb instantly absorbed the palm force, but he was still injured.
"Argh!" He spat out a mouthful of blood in the air.
Then, his figure disappeared in a flash and reappeared behind the elder. Once again, he pointed with his finger.
The elder's body, which was initially frozen, froze again.
Chu Li kept pointing with his fingers, using the Petrifying Finger to hold him in place.
The long sword at his waist turned into a cold light and cut the tendons in the elder's arms and legs. Then, he sealed all the acupuncture points on his body. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief and wipe away the blood at the corner of his mouth.
Spiritual energy surged in from all directions, nourishing his internal organs and healing his injuries. The healing ability of the Life and Death Scripture was getting stronger.
He secretly sighed at his luck. If the elder had not been provoked by him and wanted to kill him at all costs, he might not have been able to hit him with his finger.
The elder glared at him unwillingly. The skeleton slowly dissipated and his flesh unfolded, returning him to his normal appearance.
Chu Li pointed a few more times and completely sealed his acupuncture points, causing him to fall into a deep sleep.
He channeled his energy and regulated his breathing for a moment. Then, with a flash, he appeared in a small courtyard with the elder.
Shen Xu, who was wearing a nightgown, appeared in the courtyard in a flash. He had a vigilant look on his face. When he saw that it was Chu Li, he sighed in relief. "Why are you here?"
Chu Li left the elder and fist saluted. "I hope I'm not disturbing Master's rest."
"Who's this?" Shen Xu frowned and stared at the elder. "Could it be an Asura?"
Chu Li nodded. "Yes."
Shen Xu looked up at him. "You met him too?"
Chu Li said, "Master, I saw that the Tempest Temple and Green Deer Cliff are looking for Asuras. They seem to be trying to decipher their martial arts and physiques. Don't we need them at Amethyst Mountain?"
"Yes, the sect is also researching it." Shen Xu nodded. "Otherwise, there wouldn't have been disciples harmed. … Now that the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth is dissipating, it's getting harder to become an Enlightened Master. Asura is a glimmer of hope."
"Then I'll give him to you, Master." Chu Li smiled. "I met him by chance."
Shen Xu did not hold back and nodded. "Be careful, don't provoke them again."
Chu Li said, "Master, you have to be careful too. Seal his acupuncture points in time. This person's cultivation level is higher than mine. I went through a lot of trouble and was lucky to win against him."
"Yes." Shen Xu's expression darkened.
His cultivation level was higher than his disciple's. If they were to really fight, he would not be a match for him. He had to be careful!
When he thought of this, he bent over to check and sealed his acupuncture points again.
Chu Li fist saluted. "I'll take my leave then."
"Go." Shen Xu waved his hand. "Don't delay your cultivation. Enter the dojo as soon as possible!"
