"That's good." Zhang Junrui scoffed. "You can't judge Zhao Dahe with common sense. He's so young and his cultivation level is even purer than mine. You'll have to rely on yourself to get rid of the fist force from the Divine Light Fist!"
"… Yes." Lu Xiaofeng gritted his teeth.
It seemed that in order to defeat Zhao Dahe, he would have to surpass his master first.
Zhang Junrui scoffed. "If you can't defeat me, don't fight Zhao Dahe. You'll only embarrass yourself and lose your life!"
"Yes." Lu Xiaofeng nodded. "Master, he killed Elder Huang."
"So be it," Zhang Junrui said. "It'll save me some trouble. I don't have to deal with him personally."
Lu Xiaofeng was shocked.
Zhang Junrui scoffed. "He did a lot of things behind your back. You're young and naive, so you were fooled by him."
"It can't be?" Lu Xiaofeng quickly said. "He was quite obedient in front of me."
"That's why I said you're young and easy to deceive. There are many people like you." Zhang Junrui waved his hand. "Continue cultivating. Don't worry about the rest. Don't worry about Miss Yue Ru either."
"… Yes." Lu Xiaofeng nodded reluctantly.
Yue Ru's beautiful face appeared in his mind. He desperately wanted to be with her, but he could not beat Zhao Dahe now. He had to surpass Zhao Dahe in martial arts to get Yue Ru back and be worthy of her!
For the next few days, Chu Li stayed in the Phoenix Goddess Brothel.
In the middle of the night, the Phoenix Goddess Brothel was as luxurious as usual. The sound of stringed instruments lingered in the air like a heavenly palace.
A grey-robed elder hurried to the brothel and grabbed the servant. "Bring me to Clan Leader Zhao Dahe!"
"Young Master Zhao?" The servant was shocked and quickly said, "He's an important guest of the Phoenix Goddess Brothel. May I know who you are?"
"Bring me there immediately. I have something urgent to attend to!" The grey-robed elder, Lu Shu, lifted the servant up. "If there's any delay, I'll hold you responsible!"
"Even if Master beats me to death, I won't dare to bring you there directly." The servant complained helplessly. "Why don't you put me down first? I'll go and report to Young Master Zhao. What do you think?"
Lu Shu glared at him, put him down, and patted his shoulder. "Go, my name is Lu Shu!"
"Yes, yes." The manservant hurriedly answered and ran upstairs.
Chu Li stuck his head out from a window on the second floor and shouted, "Come up!"
Lu Shu quickly floated up and entered through the window. Standing up straight, he cupped his fists and greeted, "Hall Master!"
Chu Li frowned. "Tell me, what is it?"
"Old Kou can't hold on any longer." Lu Shu hurriedly said, "He was ambushed and severely injured. It looks like he can't be saved."
Chu Li asked, "When did this happen?"
"Old Kou has just escaped back." Lu Shu said, "His injuries are too severe. He's about to die."
Chu Li nodded. "Alright, I'll go take a look."
With that, he disappeared in a flash.
Lu Shu jumped out of the window and hurried back.
His heart was burning with anxiety. He wished he could spread his wings and fly back.
The three of them had been together for a long time and were used to it. They could not accept losing one of them all of a sudden. Old people were more afraid of death. The three of them had just started to have a good life, but they did not expect Old Kou to die soon. Fate was unpredictable! They did not know how many days they had left to live.

Chu Li appeared in the house and saw that Kou Qiong was barely breathing. His face was pale and his chest was heaving violently. He was on the verge of death.
Feng Wuji was sitting in front of the bed, looking at him with a bitter face and holding his hand.
Chu Li waved his hand. "Move!"
When Feng Wuji saw Chu Li, he hurriedly called out, "Hall Master!"
Chu Li waved his hand.
Feng Wuji hurriedly took two steps back.
Chu Li took out a jade bottle, poured out a snow-white pill, and stuffed it into Kou Qiong's mouth. Then, he pressed on Kou Qiong's chest a few times and pressed on his precordium. Spiritual energy surged into Kou Qiong's body. After a while, Kou Qiong's face was rosy and the aura of death was gone. He was full of vitality.
Feng Wuji and Lu Shu, who had just returned, widened their eyes. They knew that Kou Qiong's injuries were severe. His internal organs were shattered, and he would definitely die.
They had brought Chu Li back with a sliver of hope, but they did not expect him to be saved.
Kou Qiong slowly regained consciousness.
Chu Li scoffed. "What happened? Who ambushed you?"
Kou Qiong had a bitter look on his face. He sighed. "Hall Master, I don't know either. They were all masked."
"How many of them?"
"Four."
"Four …" Chu Li had already seen the scene in Kou Qiong's mind.
"Were they from the White Tiger Sect?" Feng Wuji scoffed. "They must be unhappy that they were suppressed by you. Moreover, they killed five elders, so they must be thinking of ways to take revenge. If they can't deal with you, they'll deal with us."
"That makes sense." Lu Shu nodded.
Chu Li looked at Kou Qiong.
Kou Qiong frowned. "The martial arts they used were all ordinary martial arts. They didn't use any unique martial arts, but they were all Grandmasters. Their cultivation levels are not inferior to mine."
Chu Li said, "Let me handle this. Be careful and don't act alone."
He pondered and vaguely felt that one of the figures was familiar. He glanced at it and searched his mind. Then, he remembered. It was Zhang Junrui!
He had seen Zhang Junrui through the Omniscient Mirror when he came to the Phoenix Goddess Brothel with Zhou Ning and Fu Yu.
"Rest well." Chu Li waved his hand.
"Hall Master, why don't you stay with us?" Lu Shu suggested.
Chu Li glared at him impatiently.
Lu Shu chuckled. "Old Kou hasn't recovered yet. If someone comes, we'll have to take care of him and fight at the same time. I'm afraid we'll be at a disadvantage."
"Alright, I'll stay here tonight." Chu Li scoffed.
The three of them were overjoyed.
Chu Li shook his head. "You're all Grandmasters, but you're so timid. It's really embarrassing. You'll bring shame to the Radiance Clan when you lead them alone."
"Hall Master, you're still young. You can't appreciate the beauty and preciousness of life. It'll be the same when you reach our age." Feng Wuji smiled.
Chu Li scoffed. He could not be bothered to talk to them and returned to his house.

Early in the morning, the Blazing Sun Clan's headquarters was bustling with activity. Loud shouts could be heard as more than two hundred people gathered on the martial arts field.
"Bang, bang!" Two muffled sounds were heard as the protectors outside the hall flew into the courtyard. They fell to the ground and remained motionless as they fainted.
The two muffled sounds were drowned out by the people's shouts. No one paid attention to them as they continued to practice their martial arts.
Chu Li stepped over the threshold and stepped into the Blazing Sun Clan's headquarters.
He was dressed in white and wore a solemn expression. His triangular eyes emitted a cold gaze as he entered the courtyard. He stood on the steps and slowly scanned the people on the martial arts field.
His gaze was so intense that everyone felt a chill down their spines. They could not help but look over.
When the people noticed that something was amiss, they stopped cultivating. They understood what was going on at first glance and gradually gathered around Chu Li.
Chu Li's gaze was cold and his expression was solemn. He yelled, "Zhang Junrui, get out here!"
"How dare you!" A middle-aged man stepped out from the crowd and shouted, "Who dares to call Elder Zhang by his name?"
Chu Li stared at the middle-aged man. His gaze seemed to pierce through the man's eyes and see through his heart.
The middle-aged man scoffed. "Who are you?"
"I'm Zhao Dahe from the Holy Church of Light!" Chu Li replied slowly.
