Geng Huarong was ugly but very talkative. He smiled, "Junior Brother Chu, we didn't get to know each other after a fight. I didn't think we'd really become a family!"
Chu Li nodded, "Life is unpredictable. I've offended you all."
Geng Huarong waved his hand, "We were still enemies back then. Of course we had to be ruthless."
Chu Li smiled, "Same to you."
He went to the carriage and opened it, revealing ten Asuras inside. Their injuries were mostly healed.
Chu Li said, "Their acupuncture points are sealed every two hours."
"Understood." Geng Huarong smiled, "We've been warned so many times. We'll definitely send them back to the mountain. Sigh … they're even more precious than us!"
Chu Li smiled, "If the sect wants to improve, they're a key. It's up to us if we can grasp the opportunity."
"Sigh …" Geng Huarong shook his head, "In my opinion, who cares about the Asuras? We should focus on our own martial arts. We haven't even mastered our martial arts yet. Why bother with these crooked ways?"
Chu Li smiled, "The sect has no choice but to do so … Oh right, I have a letter here. Please help me pass it to Master, Senior Brother Geng."
"No problem, I'll deliver it!" Geng Huarong smiled, "But we didn't expect you to join the Nature Manifestation Peak. We thought it was the Phantom Yin Peak!"
Chu Li could see through the Phantom Yin Skill so he was the best cultivator for it. Yet, he chose to cultivate the Nature Restoration Manifestation instead of the Phantom Yin Skill. What a waste.
Chu Li said, "The Nature Restoration Manifestation is more magical. The power of the Phantom Yin Skill is limited."
Geng Huarong looked at the other three and shook his head helplessly.
"Brothers, hurry up. Be careful of the Holy Church of Light!" Chu Li said.
"Of course, of course!" Geng Huarong nodded.
They had just witnessed the battle between Chu Li and the four Grandmasters.
The four masters seemed powerless in front of Chu Li. In fact, their cultivation level was not much weaker than Chu Li. It was just that Chu Li's body movement technique was strange and he was good at scheming, so he had the upper hand.
If it was them, they could only run for their lives if they met the four masters.

Qing Yun Town
A bright moon hung in the sky, its moonlight sprinkled over the courtyard like water. Chu Li and Siao Shi sat at the stone table, playing chess.
Yang Xu and Menglan were at the other side of the courtyard, helping Chu Li clean up his house.
"What's up with you today?" Siao Shi put down a black chess piece and said lazily, "You actually have the mood to play chess with me."
Chu Li smiled and said, "Tension and relaxation is the way of the martial arts. I've been too busy recently and I'm feeling impatient. It's time for me to calm down."
The Asuras were mostly killed. His Manifestation of Nature Restoration had improved significantly, and his All-Knowing Sutra had also become strong enough. There was no need for him to be in a hurry to cultivate and kill.
Siao Shi glanced at him and shook her head, "Are you nervous?"
Chu Li's heart skipped a beat. He did not expect Siao Shi to know him so well that she could tell.
Xiao Shi tilted her head and looked at him. Her eyes were as deep as the abyss as she sized him up. "Hmm, there aren't many things in this world that can make you nervous. It's about my younger sister, right?"
Chu Li smiled bitterly.
Xiao Shi asked, "Have you mastered the Manifestation of Nature Restoration?"
"I want to try." Chu Li said.
Siao Shi pursed her lips and smiled, "Then try. What's there to be nervous about?"
Chu Li sighed and shook his head.
Siao Shi said, "If it doesn't work, then continue cultivating. With your aptitude, there's no martial arts that you can't cultivate."
Chu Li sighed, "I'm just afraid that my Manifestation of Nature Restoration won't be able to match up to Lady Siao Shi's."
"That's a problem." Siao Shi pondered and nodded, "Why don't we think of a way to divert attention and stop her from cultivating?"
"That's not a bad idea." Chu Li smiled.
Siao Shi pondered for a while and nodded, "How about this. You don't have to do it. I'll do it! … I'll write a letter to my younger sister and ask her to come over and be my protector. Just say that the Holy Church of Light is going wild and might assassinate me. Let her protect me for a while! "
"Good idea!" Chu Li exclaimed.
Siao Shi said, "Once she comes to the Imperial Residence, I'll pester her and stop her from cultivating."
"Thank you, Lady Siao Shi!" Chu Li closed fist saluted and smiled.
Siao Shi glanced at him and scoffed, "You're usually so majestic and arrogant. Why are you an idiot when it comes to my younger sister? What's there to be nervous about? She's just a normal woman! "
Chu Li laughed and nodded, "You're right, Lady!"
"I can't stand it!" Siao Shi rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm worried for you. If it were me, I wouldn't have let her cultivate the Regal Sword Scripture. This wouldn't have happened."
Chu Li said, "I can't just care about myself and ignore the Lady's feelings."
"Hmph, you care about her too much!" Siao Shi said snappily, "You care about her all the time and what happens in the end?"
Chu Li nodded and smiled, "Lady is right. It's your turn now!"
"If you show me even one percent of what you're capable of, my younger sister would've broken through her inner state!" Siao Shi scoffed and put down another black chess piece.
Chu Li smiled but did not say anything.
Siao Shi thought that he was a yes-man in front of the Third Lady but she was wrong. He was just as strong in front of the Third Lady. It was just that he was not domineering enough when it came to her cultivating the Regal Sword Scripture.
This was also because of his memories from his past life. His attitude towards women was different from the men in this world. He was more equal and respectful.
"I'm starting to feel like eating the spirit fruits from the Spirit Cranes Peak." Siao Shi sighed, "I haven't been there for a long time."
Chu Li laughed, "It's only been a few days."
He had been busy with the war at the Ji Public House and chasing after Asura. He did not have the time to bring Siao Shi to the Spirit Cranes Peak.
"Not long enough?" Siao Shi asked.
Chu Li said, "I'll go get a few fruits. Let's go tomorrow. It's dangerous at night."
"Forget it then. We'll talk about it tomorrow." Siao Shi said.
Chu Li disappeared in a flash. A moment later, he was holding a few tender yellow fruits the size of an apple.
Siao Shi rolled her eyes at him and took one.
Chu Li said, "I'll be going to the Li Dynasty soon."
Siao Shi put the fruit in her mouth down and frowned, "What are you going to do now?"
"Find out about the Holy Church of Light."
"Do you want to die?"
"We'll start from the outer layer. Take it step by step and see which layer we can reach."
"So you're going to be a traitor?"
"Yes." Chu Li nodded.
"You're a centurion, a rank one scribe, and a Head Chief. Why are you going to the Li Dynasty to be a traitor?" Siao Shi said impatiently, "Are you out of your mind?"
Chu Li sighed, "It's not just for the Ji Dynasty, it's for others, but also for myself."
Siao Shi said, "You're annoyed that they keep on assassinating you?"
Chu Li nodded, "If we don't get rid of their thoughts, they'll never stop and you won't be able to live."
"I'm used to it." Siao Shi scoffed, "Assassinations are quite interesting."
Chu Li laughed.
Siao Shi said, "How do you want to get rid of their thoughts?"
"Find their weakness." Chu Li said.
Siao Shi was surprised, "You want to destroy the Holy Church of Light?"
Chu Li said, "I have to try."
"How dare you!" Siao Shi scoffed, "… But I like it. Let's do it!"
Chu Li was surprised. He did not expect her to say that.
Siao Shi said, "The Holy Church of Light isn't that easy to destroy. Otherwise, it would've been destroyed many times. It's as old as the Tempest Temple. Who knows how many martial arts masters there are in the church."
Chu Li nodded slowly.
Siao Shi said, "I can't help you with martial arts. I can only help you with ideas."
"Alright, I'll have to trouble you when the time comes."
"What about King An?" Siao Shi asked, "You're not going to kill him?"
"It's not time yet." Chu Li shook his head.
"I really hope he'll die from internal demons!" Siao Shi scoffed.
