The two Imperial House High Officials closed fist saluted and flew out of the house, chasing after Chu Li.
Chu Li arrived at Tianshu Courtyard.
The two elders in purple followed him into Tianshu Courtyard. When they saw Xiao Qi and Xiao Shi, they frowned and continued to chase after Chu Li.
"These two are assassins?" Xiao Shi scoffed.
Chu Li replied, "Imperial House High Officials, sent by King An to kill me."
"How dare he!" Siao Shi scoffed coldly, "Let's kill both of them first!"
"The Imperial House High Officials have a high status, we can't kill them." Chu Li shook his head.
Xiao Qi stood up and said, "This is Tianshu Courtyard, the Princess's inner courtyard. If you don't leave now, don't blame us for offending you!"
The two elders in purple heard Xiao Shi's words and were furious.
The high officials of the Imperial House had a high status. Even in the Imperial House, they were respected by everyone. It was rare for them to meet someone who disregarded their status like this, especially when it was a peerless beauty.
Although they were old, their hearts were not old. They still wanted to be admired by the beauty, but in the end, they were ignored. This contrast made them angry, so they vented their anger on Chu Li, and their killing intent surged.
King An wanted to kill Chu Li. If they failed, they could teach him a lesson to vent their anger.
Their thoughts had changed. They had to kill Chu Li!
Chu Li said, "Lady, let's see whose swordsmanship is better. What do you think?"
Xiao Qi said calmly, "Compete with them?"
Chu Li smiled, "Let's see who gets rid of the opponent first."
"Alright." Xiao Qi said.
Chu Li disappeared in a flash and reappeared with the Modesty Sword in his hand.
"Ding …" Both of their swords were unsheathed at the same time.
Xiao Qi's sword was like a flash of lightning.
Chu Li's sword was blurry and the sword light was obscure.
Both of them unsheathed their swords at the same time. There was a special method to unsheathe their swords and the speed was faster.
"Ding …" Both of their swords returned to their scabbards at the same time.
The two elders in purple clutched their abdomens and stared at them in disbelief.
Chu Li said, "As Imperial House High Officials, I can't kill you. I can only cripple you."
"How … How dare you …" The elder in front of Chu Li gritted his teeth and stared at him, "Aren't you afraid that the Emperor …"
"His Majesty will not make a move for the sake of two Imperial Consecrators." Chu Li said calmly, "Moreover, as a High Official of the Imperial House, how can I have the face to stay in the Imperial House if my skills are inferior to others?"
"You're really vicious!" The purple-robed elder opposite him gnashed his teeth.
Chu Li smiled. "You wanted to kill me, but I only crippled you and spared your lives. How did I become vicious?"
Xiao Qi said, "Tianshu Courtyard isn't a place where you should be. Leave!"
She returned to sit beside Siao Shi.
Chu Li smiled. "Do you want me to send you back?"
"No need!" the two of them said fiercely.
They could not wait to tear Chu Li into pieces.
Chu Li waved his hand. "That's good. Your martial arts have only been crippled, but your bodies are still much stronger than the average person. I won't be seeing you out."
The two purple-robed elders slowly walked out of the Tianshu Courtyard.
Chu Li shook his head as he looked at them. "What a pity. His cultivation level has gone down the drain. I'm afraid he won't be able to cultivate it back in this lifetime!"
If it was someone at King An's age or even younger, his Dantian and meridians were not completely destroyed, his martial arts could still be restored. The speed of cultivation would be faster than the first time.
Siao Shi said snappily, "What's there to pity about? It's a pity that they didn't kill you!"
Xiao Qi shook her head.
Chu Li looked at Xiao Qi. "The Regal Sword Scripture is indeed powerful."
His Cloud Slashing Sword Technique was also extremely fast. After merging it with the Seven Forms of Godly Sword, its power was even more shocking. He painstakingly fused the two together, and only then could it be compared to the Regal Sword Scripture.
Xiao Qi's cultivation of the Regal Sword Scripture was not at its peak. She had always focused on understanding the state of mind. She pursued the boundary instead of actual martial arts.
Once the Regal Sword Scripture's power was unleashed, it would probably be better than him.
Xiao Qi said faintly, "I'm inferior to you."
She could tell that Chu Li was giving in on purpose.
The two purple-robed elders returned to King An's study room.
King An saw that their spirits were dim and their bodies were dull. It was different from usual. He frowned. "Elder Sun, Elder Meng, are you injured?"
The two of them sighed and looked at each other.
One of the purple-robed elders sighed. "Your Royal Highness, we've let you down. We failed."
"It's true that Chu Li isn't easy to kill. It's fine if we failed."
"There's another woman in the Tianshu Courtyard. Her swordsmanship is extremely high. She's on par with Chu Li."
"On par with Chu Li?" King An frowned. "There's such a master?"
"It's Third Lady Xiao," Xu Ning said calmly.
"Each of them took one of us and crippled our martial arts!"
"What?!" King An's face darkened.
The two purple-robed elders sighed and said slowly, "Your Royal Highness, we're already useless. We can no longer serve you. We have to bid farewell to the Emperor and return to our hometown."
"How dare Chu Li!" King An's handsome face was so gloomy that it could drip water. His aura was suppressed and surged crazily like a flood that was about to break through a dam. It was frightening.
"Amitabha …" Xu Ning pressed his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha. He said gently, "Both of you don't have to rush back. Your Royal Highness, don't you still have two Primary Heaven Pills?"
King An nodded slowly and glanced at him with dissatisfaction.
Xu Ning smiled and said, "Both of you can consume it now. Your martial arts will be restored tomorrow."
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!" The two High Officials were overjoyed. Their lips trembled as they bowed deeply.
Of course, they had heard of the Primary Heaven Pill and knew how magical it was. The joy of regaining it after losing it made them crazy and excited.
When they walked out of the Tianshu Courtyard, they fell into despair. They felt like they were better off dead than alive. They had lost everything. When they heard that their martial arts could be restored, it was like walking from hell to heaven.
"Don't worry, Your Royal Highness. We'll definitely find a way to kill Chu Li!" They closed fist saluted and said.
"Alright, thank you." King An nodded slowly.
He got up and went to the study room. He quickly took out two jade bottles and handed them to them.
The two purple-robed High Officials received it with trembling hands. They could not wait to put it into their mouths. They were afraid that King An would change his mind.
They could see King An's reluctance. No matter who it was, they would not be willing to give such a peerless pill to others.
After they consumed it, they quickly carried it and left. They wanted to go back and recover.
King An looked at Xu An with dissatisfaction. "Why did you give them the Primary Heaven Pill?"
Xu Ning pressed his palms together. "Doesn't Your Royal Highness still have one Primary Heaven Pill left?"
"What if I lose my martial arts again?" King An scoffed. "If Chu Li doesn't die, he'll definitely cripple my martial arts again!"
"If he cripples you again, why would Your Royal Highness need to recover?" Xu Ning said calmly. "Moreover, once the two High Officials return to the palace and bid farewell to the Emperor, how would the Emperor view Your Royal Highness?"
"… You're right. I didn't think it through." King An's expression softened.
As the saying goes, greed blinds one's mind. He was limited by the Primary Heaven Pill and was angered by Chu Li, so he did not think too much. If the Emperor knew that something had happened to the two High Officials, he would appear to be incompetent!
Xu Ning said calmly, "This time, the Head Chief helped Your Royal Highness. He made the two High Officials completely submit to you and stop doing things half-heartedly."
"Hmph, do I still have to thank him? Two Primary Heaven Pills!" King An gritted his teeth. He wanted to tear Chu Li apart with his own hands.
Xu Ning said, "Your Royal Highness should cultivate calmly. With the Third Lady of the Xiao Residence here, it's better for Your Royal Highness to give up. Cultivating diligently is the right path!"
He could see through King An's thoughts. He knew that he wanted to kill Siao Shi.
