Huo Yuhao said, "Senior Zhao and the others can handle it!"
"Asking the Head Chief for help so easily, we are too useless!" Liu Xing scoffed.
As he spoke, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Even though Zhang Xuan had used a secret art to strengthen his body, the middle-aged man had also used a secret art, causing his fists to wield incredible might. Being struck by the hammer felt as if he had been struck by a huge bell, and his body felt as if it was on the verge of collapsing.
The middle-aged man's fist force was amazing. After hitting his body, the fist force spread like a bell and instantly reached his entire body. It was impossible to defend against.
He could only defend his vital parts while the rest of his body was injured. Although it was not fatal, it was troublesome. He would probably need to rest for half a month.
Huo Yuhao smiled bitterly, "There's nothing we can do. The people the Head Chief offended are all powerful people."
"We were lucky to have the help of the seniors from Amethyst Mountain," Zhu Tianhua said.
Huo Yuhao and Liu Xing nodded helplessly.
They were originally prodigies but when they met the Head Chief in the Imperial Residence of King An, they fell from grace.
They initially thought that the Head Chief was a rare powerhouse but after staying in the Imperial Residence of King An, they realized that there were many powerhouses stronger than them!
Even if they cultivated with all their might, they could not catch up and could not be independent.
This made them very uncomfortable and they could only cultivate even harder.
"Dong dong dong dong!" Four bells rang at the same time.
Zhao Jiang and the other three used their Heaven's Thunder Palm to hit the middle-aged man.
He spat out a mouthful of blood and the golden light on his skin dimmed. He turned around and left.
"Dong dong dong dong!" Another four Heaven's Thunder Palm landed.
The middle-aged man slowly collapsed.
Zhao Jiang and the other three looked around. Two of them stopped their secret skills while the other two remained.
"He's a powerful person," Zhao Jiang shook his head, "Too bad he came to the Imperial Residence of King An. He chose to die."
Zhao Jiang looked at Zhu Tianhua and the other two, "Are you okay?"
Zhu Tianhua and the other two quickly shook their heads.
"Hurry up and heal. We might have more guests!" Zhao Jiang said.
"Yes." Zhu Tianhua and the other two entered the house.
Qi Zimo chuckled, "Brother Zhao, it seems like this junior has caused quite a bit of trouble. No wonder he wrote us a letter to ask for our help."
"It was alright this time." Zhao Jiang's eyebrows were still tightly knitted together. "It might not be so easy next time!"
They were completely restrained in front of Chu Li, but in front of others, they were awe-inspiring. After all, the antique study of the Amethyst Mountain was superior to others.
Qi Zimo came to a small tree in the corner of the courtyard and said with a smile, "Do you think Junior Brother will really appear if this tree is cut down?"
"Don't mess around. This kind of tree must be very precious. If you cut it down, there will be one less." Zhao Jiang snorted.
"I just feel that it's too dangerous. Could it be that they're trying to trick us?" Qi Zimo's heart was itching.
Zhao Jiang scoffed, "Little Junior Brother is not that kind of person."
"Why don't we give it a try?" Qi Zimo suggested.
Zhao Jiang glared at him and walked up to the middle-aged man named Pu. "Crippling your martial arts and banishing you from the Public House is a mercy on us. You can only blame yourself for being stupid!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he slammed his palm on the abdomen of the middle-aged man with the surname Pu. Ignoring the resentful look in his eyes, he carried him out of the Imperial Residence of King An.

Chu Li appeared in the Snow Lunar Pavilion's Surpassing Boundary.
Xiao Qi sat by the lake as usual. She wore a flawless white tunic and it was as if her entire body was in harmony with the lake water.
Her heart was as clear as the lake water, reflecting everything but leaving no trace. Everything was like a passing cloud that was ultimately empty.
Chu Li stood in the distance and looked at Xiao Qi. He activated the Nature Restoration Manifestation.
He could see that her state of mind was calm without any distracting thoughts. All of her energy was focused on her sword. The long sword on her knees was like a part of her body, completely integrated with her.
Her thoughts were also like a long sword that had been sheathed, completely restrained and without a trace of fluctuation.
Suddenly, Chu Li appeared three steps in front of her.
Xiao Qi's clear eyes quietly fell on him. Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed.
Chu Li felt a ripple in her heart.
"Why are you here again?" Xiao Qi frowned and asked.
Chu Li replied, "I came to deliver a letter."
"Where's the letter?" Xiao Qi looked at him quietly.
Chu Li took out the letter and handed it over.
Xiao Qi's delicate hand reached out to receive the letter. Just as she was about to touch the letter, Chu Li moved forward and their fingers touched.
A cool and warm feeling spread to the bottom of Chu Li's heart. He activated the Nature Restoration Manifestation to the extreme and saw that her heart rippled again. Then, it calmed down as if it was suppressed by a strong force. She did not even look at him.
Chu Li looked at her and thought about how to break through her state of mind and find her fatal weakness.
Xiao Qi opened the letter and looked down at it. She quickly folded it and stuffed it back into the envelope. She said, "Okay, I understand. You can leave now."
Chu Li asked, "Do you agree?"
Xiao Qi shook her head. "I'm in Isolated Cultivation. It's a critical moment. Second Eldest Sister has you by her side. There's no need for me to go."
Chu Li said, "I have to leave for a while. I can't take care of the Second Lady."
"What is it?" Xiao Qi asked.
Chu Li said, "I'm going to the Holy Church of Light as a spy to find their weakness."
Siao Qi furrowed her brows and said, "Nonsense."
Chu Li could feel the shock in her heart. He continued, "The Holy Church of Light and I are enemies now. If I don't die, they'll continue to hunt me down. There's no end to their masters. I'll die in their hands sooner or later. Since that's the case, I can only strike first."
Xiao Qi frowned. "Why are you enemies with the Holy Church of Light?"
"I killed many of their masters." Chu Li said, "They came to the Ji Dynasty to stir up trouble. I couldn't stand it, so I killed them."
"You can't change your bad habit of being a busybody." Xiao Qi frowned and looked at him unhappily.
Chu Li smiled. "What's the point of learning martial arts if I can't serve the country and the people and protect the people around me?"
Xiao Qi took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in her heart again. "Are you really going?"
Chu Li nodded.
"You'll go even if I object?" Xiao Qi looked at him with her bright eyes.
Chu Li nodded.
Xiao Qi's heart trembled. She bit her lower lip and tried hard to suppress the shock in her heart again. She said, "Alright, I'll go to Second Eldest Sister's side."
Chu Li smiled. "That's good."
He was a little melancholic but excited.
The Nature Restoration Manifestation was indeed extraordinary. Although he could only feel the fluctuation in her heart, it was powerful enough. At least he knew which words would cause her emotions to fluctuate and which words would not affect her.
Unfortunately, the Nature Restoration Manifestation was not profound enough. His senses were not sharp enough and he could not predict her reaction. It seemed like he needed to go deeper. As long as his level was deep enough, he might be able to break her state of mind with just a few words.
Through the Nature Restoration Manifestation, he realized that it was best to have more contact with her to break her state of mind. He used the Nature Restoration Manifestation to find the pattern of her reaction and make her heart constantly fluctuate. The quantitative change would lead to a qualitative change and finally break her state of mind.
Although he failed this time, he was greatly encouraged. It seemed like he was on the right path to cultivate the Nature Restoration Manifestation. He must continue to cultivate it!
"If there's nothing else, then leave," Xiao Qi said.
Chu Li smiled. "My Lady, when will you go?"
"Now?" Xiao Qi frowned.
Chu Li said, "I'm preparing to enter the Li Dynasty in half a month. My Lady, you can go after that."
"Mm, go ahead," Xiao Qi said.
