As soon as he finished speaking, he channeled his inner energy into the Cloud Slashing Power to devour the Shura Palm's force. "This Asura is also a powerful character, his Shura Palm's level of attainment is very high."
Zhou Yutian scoffed. "It's an old man, who knows how many people he's killed!"
When he thought of the two Asuras, he had goosebumps all over his body.
Chu Li said, "High Duke, you're lucky to be alive, it's not one Asura, is it?"
"Two," Zhou Yutian replied. "Bad luck, both of them are old men! … Your heart technique is strange. "
Chu Li nodded and glanced at Zhou Zifeng. "I'd like to speak to High Duke in private, Young Master …"
"Alright." Zhou Zifeng nodded and left the bedroom.
Zhou Yutian looked at Chu Li and smiled playfully. "What do you want to say?"
Chu Li said, "High Duke, don't you think it's strange?"
"What's strange?"
"Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence, High Duke? Why did all the Asuras come to the Ji Public House? And ambush the High Duke? "
"What are you trying to say! It's the Secret Guardians Hall again, isn't it?" Zhou Yutian frowned and scoffed.
"High Duke, do you know about the Divine Church of Asura?"
"Divine Church of Asura?" Zhou Yutian scoffed. "I've never heard of it!"
The Secret Guardians Hall might not be good at other things, but they were well-informed.
Chu Li said, "There's a Moonfall Peak near the Tempest Temple. Asuras from all over the world gather at the Moonfall Peak. It's a holy place for Asuras to cultivate. More than a hundred Asuras have gathered there to form the Divine Church of Asura. The Tempest Temple has set up a formation to suppress them, but the Holy Church of Light has interfered."
"What a mess!" Zhou Yutian scoffed.
He did not like these people, he could not wait for them to bite each other.
Chu Li said, "The Holy Church of Light has a secret skill that allows them to tame Asuras and turn them into Guardian Warriors. In the end, the Holy Church of Light managed to obtain twenty top-notch Asura masters. Other than these twenty, there were another twenty or so who managed to escape … High Duke, do you think the Asura you met were the ones who escaped or the Holy Church of Light's Asura?"
Zhou Yutian's face darkened, and he remained silent.
Chu Li replied, "High Duke, after you left, an old Asura came to Ji River Valley. He was lured away by a young man named Chu Lingfeng, which prevented a massacre. All of you should thank this Chu Lingfeng, but I don't know if he's dead or alive."
Zhou Yutian frowned.
Chu Li said, "Based on their actions, it's obvious that they have ulterior motives. It's not just to kill. I'm sure the High Duke can guess their identity."
"Hmph, so what if I know!" Zhou Yutian said in a deep voice.
After Chu Li's detailed explanation, he also felt that something was not right.
Chu Li said, "A while ago, a Minister Counsellor from the Ministry of War rebelled. He was a disciple of the Holy Church of Light and was involved in two assassinations. The murderer of the first assassination was hiding in Ji River Valley, and I was the one who captured him!"
Zhou Yutian snorted.
Arresting someone in the Ji River Valley was equivalent to barging into one's own house and arresting someone. This made him feel extremely resentful.
Chu Li said, "The Secret Guardians Hall suspects that the Ji Public House is harboring a disciple of the Holy Church of Light and has connections with the Holy Church of Light."
"Bullsh * t!" Zhou Yutian sneered. "Tell this to the Emperor and see if the Emperor will believe you!"
"Not to mention the Emperor, even I don't believe it," Chu Li shook his head. "That's why I requested to investigate this matter. Unfortunately, due to my sensitive identity, the Commander stopped me from doing so and sent Centurion Chen Donghai from Mei Yi Courtyard instead. I only came here after he suffered a setback."
He recounted the entire incident in detail from the beginning to the end. He understood that only sincerity was persuasive and the truth could move people's hearts. No matter how extravagant a lie was, it would only backfire when faced with a sly old fox like the Ji Public House.
"You believe the Ji Public House?"
"Of course!"
"Since you believe me, what's there to investigate? You can just go back!"
Chu Li shook his head. "I don't doubt the loyalty of the Ji Public House, but I suspect that there's something wrong with them … Looking at the High Duke's encounter, I can conclude that my speculation is correct."
"What speculation!" Zhou Yutian scoffed.
Chu Li said, "There's a spy from the Holy Church of Light in the Ji Public House!"
"Nonsense!" Zhou Yutian blurted out. He then shook his head and said in a low voice, "Impossible!"
Chu Li smiled. "I've been here for three days and it's not like I've done nothing. I can roughly tell who the spy is."
"Who?"
"The Third Madam, Zhou Mei."
"Zhou Mei has a clean background and doesn't know martial arts."
Chu Li said, "The Holy Church of Light has a secret skill that can conceal martial arts. If they could hide it from the High Officials of the Imperial House in Fairy's Capital, what more the High Duke's Public House?"
"What evidence do you have?"
"It's actually easy to get evidence. As long as we find someone to assassinate her, she will naturally reveal her martial arts."
"It's not that easy!"
"You don't dare to try, High Duke?"
Zhou Yutian remained silent.
Chu Li said, "High Duke, I actually have an idea."
"Speak." Zhou Yutian raised his head. "If you want to use this to threaten me, you've found the wrong person!"
Chu Li withdrew his hand. "I'm done!"
Zhou Yutian felt his body relax and felt refreshed. He scoffed. "Thank you!"
Chu Li said, "It's nothing … Why don't we beat them at their own game!"
"You're thinking of using an insider?"
"Why would the Holy Church of Light deliberately plot against you, High Duke?"
"Who knows!" Zhou Yutian scoffed.
Chu Li said, "As long as they have a request, then it's easy. If High Duke pretends to be seriously injured and the people's hearts are in chaos, I'm sure the Holy Church of Light will come looking for you. When that time comes, we'll give them a thunderous blow!"
"You're really daring!" Zhou Yutian shook his head. "It's easier said than done. Not to mention that the Protectors of the High Duke's Public House can't handle those Asuras. Don't let them beat us at our own game!"
Chu Li smiled. "The Yi Public House still has manpower. I'll get a few more. It won't be a problem to gather twenty Grandmasters."
Zhou Yutian narrowed his eyes and looked at him deeply.
Chu Li said, "It seems like High Duke doesn't trust me!"
He understood Zhou Yutian's worries. Twenty Grandmasters could almost destroy the Ji Public House. Even if they could protect it, it would be a huge blow to their vitality.
"Why should I trust you!" Zhou Yutian scoffed.
Chu Li smiled bitterly and nodded. "That's true … Then it depends on High Duke's decision."
He knew that Zhou Yutian would accept his suggestion. This was his personality and it could not be changed.
After a while, Zhou Yutian broke the silence.
"… Alright, I can give it a try!" Zhou Yutian scoffed. "But if these masters are injured or killed, the High Duke's Public House will not be responsible."
Chu Li nodded. "Of course!"
"When can you get them here?"
"Five days is enough," Chu Li said.
"Then I'll delay it for five days!" Zhou Yutian scoffed. "I'll show them what I'm capable of. I, High Duke Ji, am not that easy to deal with!"
Chu Li fist saluted. "Then I'll make my move immediately. High Duke, you have to act more realistically. You can't reveal even your closest relatives. This Zhou Mei is a powerful person. She can see through the clues. Don't let her see through you!"
