He had always thought that there were no traitors in Green Deer Cliff.
That was because Green Deer Cliff's selection of disciples was as strict as Tempest Temple's. However, unlike Tempest Temple's strict rules, Green Deer Cliff was particular about letting nature take its course and freedom. They were not as strict with their disciples.
More importantly, Green Deer Cliff's disciples entered the sect from a young age. They did not accept older disciples and had always been taught in the sect.
Moreover, after cultivating Green Deer Cliff's martial arts, their state of mind would naturally become calm and tranquil. They would not do something as extreme as betraying the sect.
"Green Deer Cliff's traitor, are we in trouble?" Li Hanyan frowned.
Xue had already dealt with her opponent and glided in. "Green Deer Cliff's traitor? Young Master, it's troublesome, isn't it? "
Chu Li scoffed. "It's fine, he won't die now."
He reached out and patted the Vajra Sect Master's body. A wave of vitality flowed into him and saved him from death's door, allowing him to hang on to his life.
"Are we going to let him go just because he's a traitor of Green Deer Cliff?" Li Hanyan was indignant. "Isn't that too unfair?"
"How can there be fairness in this world?" Chu Li smiled. "I'll send him to Green Deer Cliff. Their rules are no lesser than Snow Lunar Pavilion's. Will he die?"
"Then he'll definitely die." Li Hanyan nodded.
"That's right," Chu Li said.
"I want him to die now!" Li Hanyan scoffed and glared at the faction leader of Titanium Faction.
Chu Li smiled and shook his head. "It won't take long."
"Young Master, more than ten of them escaped," Xue said.
Chu Li said, "I've taken care of them for you … Hanyan, go under that table. There should be a secret manual there."
Li Hanyan followed Chu Li's line of sight and walked to a square table. She turned the table upside down and saw a small box stuck to the bottom of the table. She waved her sword and stabbed it, lifting the small box up and catching it with her left hand.
"This is a secret manual?" Li Hanyan asked excitedly. "What kind of secret manual is it?"
Chu Li said, "Green Deer Cliff's martial arts."
"It must be very powerful!" Li Hanyan immediately smiled. "Can we cultivate it?"
"I can't practice other martial arts. I'll get into trouble if I practice it, but there's no harm in practicing this martial art." Chu Li smiled.
He opened the box, and inside was a thin booklet. It only had seven pages, and the words "Spirit Crane Fist" were written on it. It was elegant and elegant.
Lee Hanyan and Xue Ling came over to take a look.
"It's a fist technique." Li Hanyan's interest immediately waned.
She was not interested in fist techniques or palm techniques. What she liked the most were sword techniques or saber techniques.
However, Xue Ling was very curious. "I don't think I've heard of the Spirit Crane Fist. I only know that the Spirit Crane Technique of the Green Deer Cliff is very mysterious. It's comparable to the martial arts of the Grandmasters and can be cultivated to the Enlightened Master's Boundary."
Chu Li opened the fist manual and slowly flipped through it. There were a total of six fist forms, which were extremely simple. One look and anyone could tell that it was a beginner fist technique without any power to speak of.
Xue Ling took a look as well. She gestured to herself and shook her head. "Master, is this a secret manual?"
Chu Li smiled. "The Great Way is always simple. Perhaps there's something special hidden in this fist manual. Otherwise, there's no need for him to hide here."
"He hid it in such an easily found and easily lost place. He didn't take this fist manual seriously," Lee Hanyan said.
Chu Li shook his head. "You guys go to the Great Virtue Clan. I'll go to the Green Deer Cliff."
"Master, you're not coming with us?" Xue Ling quickly asked.
Chu Li smiled. "You guys can handle it yourselves."
"… Alright." Xue Ling helplessly nodded.
No matter what, without Chu Li by her side, she felt uncertain.
Chu Li picked up the unconscious faction leader of the Titanium Faction and disappeared in a flash before the two women.
Lee Hanyan said, "Sister Xue Ling, they've robbed so many things. They must still be hiding something. How about we look for them?"
"What should we do if we find them?"
"Leave them to the faction."
"Hmm, that's a good idea."
The two began to search the entire Titanium Faction excitedly.

Xiao Yueling looked at the faction leader of the Titanium Faction beneath her feet and frowned. "Xue Ming?"
Chu Li asked, "Aunt, do you know him?"
"An outer cliff disciple of the Green Deer Cliff." Xiao Yueling frowned. "How did he get injured like this?"
"I beat him up." Chu Li said, "Aunt, do you know what he's done now?"
"I haven't returned to the Green Deer Cliff for a long time. I've been here all this time. What happened to him?" Xiao Yueling said, "This Xue Ming is a very talented and clever young man. In the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed!"
"He's now the faction leader of the Titanium Faction. The faction has committed all sorts of crimes, including robbery and murder. He's with another Grandmaster, eight Innate Masters, and sixty-two Acquired Masters. Although they're not very influential, they're very crazy."
"Something like that happened?"
"There are traitors in the Green Deer Cliff too?" Chu Li was puzzled. "Aren't they supposed to be indifferent?"
"The human heart is unpredictable and difficult to control." Xiao Yueling shook her head. "They grew up in the Green Deer Cliff and were isolated from the outside world. They've maintained their innocence but when they're in their twenties, they'll become extremely impulsive. If they're not careful, they'll cause trouble."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. "Martial arts can't suppress one's nature."
"Yes." Xiao Yueling sighed. "There will always be disciples who covet the prosperous life at the foot of the mountain and come out."
"So they're traitors?"
"They're not considered traitors."
"How are we going to deal with them?"
Xiao Yueling replied, "They can return to the mountain within ten years. As long as they don't commit crimes, the sect will still accept them. However, they'll have to become outer cliff disciples and slowly work their way into the cliff."
The two of them were sitting in Xiao Yueling's Taoist temple.
They sat on cattail hassocks, each holding a cup of tea. The fragrance of the tea lingered in the air and the temple was quiet and peaceful.
"What if they commit crimes?" Chu Li asked.
"Then they'll be dealt with according to the rules of the cliff. They're stricter than the laws of the country outside," Xiao Yueling replied.
"Why didn't they deal with him?" Chu Li scoffed. "Do you know how many innocent people he's killed?"
Xiao Yueling replied, "This must be an oversight on the part of the sect."
Chu Li shook his head and sighed. "An oversight and so many innocent people have died. The Green Deer Cliff is really something!"
Xiao Yueling slowly said, "No one wants to make a mistake like this, but as long as they're human, they'll make mistakes. They'll be held accountable."
"Then I'll leave this guy to you, Aunt." Chu Li sighed. "I found a fist manual at his place."
As he spoke, he took out the Spirit Crane Fist manual.
Xiao Yueling glanced at it and frowned. "How dare he write down a fist technique!"
Chu Li smiled. "This was written by him?"
The three words on the cover were elegant and carefree. It did not look like something the Titanium Faction Leader would write.
"The martial arts of the Green Deer Cliff are passed down through enlightenment. They don't record it on paper," Xiao Yueling replied. "Who else could it be if not him?"
"This Spirit Crane Fist is the Spirit Crane Technique?" Chu Li asked.
Xiao Yueling shook her head.
Chu Li said, "There are only six forms. It's too simple. It's a shame to the spirit of the Spirit Crane."
