Clan Leader Mo sighed and shook his head. "There's nothing I can do about the helpers. I'm short on manpower here too and I can't let my men move out. Otherwise, it'll attract suspicion. If he dies, the Holy Church of Light will definitely investigate. You guys aren't afraid, but I can't."
"Sigh …" The middle-aged man shook his head. "Alright, we'll head back immediately after we're done. As for the helpers, we don't need them. We'll just look for an opportunity!"
Chu Li could read from his mind that the man wanted to attack when there were many people around him. At that time, Chu Li would not be vigilant and he would not be able to dodge the arrows if there were people around him. For the safety of the people around him, he could only block the arrows. If he did that, he would definitely die.
Chu Li frowned and was secretly angry. This man was really cruel and deserved to die. It seemed like he had done this many times.
Clan Leader Mo waved his hand. "Leave immediately after you're done. Don't underestimate the martial arts world of the Li Dynasty."
"No problem." The middle-aged man closed fist saluted. "I'll leave first then. Wait for my good news."
He then stood up and left the main hall. Soon, he left Radiant Cloud City and rushed back to Gale City.
Chu Li followed closely behind him and ignored the mastermind, Clan Leader Mo.
He had to deal with the middle-aged man and his men first. Otherwise, he would not be able to eat or sleep in peace. It was fine if they wanted to kill him, but he was afraid that they would do it in a crowded place.
The middle-aged man circled a few more times and was extremely cautious. Chu Li shook his head. The more cautious they were, the more experienced they were and the more people they had killed.
The middle-aged man finally arrived at a small courtyard. There were three men in the courtyard. Including the middle-aged man, there were four of them. They were all middle-aged and looked ordinary. They were easily overlooked in the crowd.
"Boss, how's the investigation going?" The three middle-aged men were cultivating in the courtyard. When they saw him return, they quickly asked.
The middle-aged man nodded. "This Zhao Dahe is indeed a powerful person. We need to find a crowded place and take action when someone is trying to assassinate him. Otherwise, it'll be difficult to succeed. This guy is very sharp and has a strong sense of danger. It'll be difficult for us to assassinate him."
"That's good. We'll pick up the loot later." One of the middle-aged men smiled. "But will someone assassinate him?"
"If Mo Qingqing wants to kill him, won't the others do the same?" The middle-aged man scoffed. "Zhao Dahe is in the limelight. He must die!"
"He doesn't understand the concept of making a fortune in silence." The other three laughed.
They were the epitome of making a fortune in silence. They looked ordinary, but it was hard for people to imagine how much money they had.
"Don't be careless." The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. There is no mistake. This fellow is very difficult to deal with. After we make a move, we must retreat immediately, regardless of whether he lives or dies."
"That's for sure." The other three nodded.
"Boss, do you want us to take another mission before we go back?" A middle-aged man asked. "We didn't gain much from this trip to Dali."
The middle-aged man shook his head. "He's an outstanding outer mountain disciple of the Holy Church of Light. The Holy Church of Light will definitely investigate this matter. We can't stay here any longer. We must leave immediately."
"Sigh … I'm just a little unwilling." The middle-aged man from before suggested, "Why don't we look for another outer mountain disciple of the Holy Church of Light to take on a job as well? Wouldn't that be even better?"
"Don't let your imagination run wild. Focus on preparing." The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "Money is not a problem. I have already asked Mo Qingqing for ten times the amount."
The three of them were overjoyed.
Just then, Chu Li appeared.
Before they could react, Chu Li shouted and activated Stupefying Howl.
Then, he swung his hands four times and the four of them fell to the ground with their hands on their throats.
Before they died, Chu Li asked, "Where did you hide the hidden weapons? How do I use them? "
They widened their eyes and stared at him in despair and resentment. Soon, their eyes were filled with mockery and delight.
Chu Li said, "You said that the Qiu Dynasty's Machine Hall will seek revenge?"
The four of them sneered.
Chu Li said, "Even if they do, they won't be able to take revenge on me."
Then, he suddenly stabbed the long sword at his waist.
The four of them were stabbed in their throats. The Divine Light Sword Technique was precise and sharp, and they died instantly.
Chu Li lifted their sleeves and saw a silver tube tied to each of their arms. It was half an arm long and stretched from their wrists to their elbows. From the outside, it was impossible to tell what was inside their sleeves.
Chu Li removed them one by one and tied them to his own arm.
The Destiny Clan, the Qiu Dynasty's Machine Hall. Chu Li shook his head.
The Qiu Dynasty and the Ji Dynasty were separated by the most powerful Fu Dynasty. Therefore, the Qiu Dynasty and the Ji Dynasty did not interact much with each other.
He did not know much about the Qiu Dynasty's martial arts world, so he did not know about the Destiny Clan.
However, to have such violent and shocking hidden weapons, it must not be some unknown sect or faction.
He tied the eight silver tubes to his arms. They were quite heavy, but with his amazing divine power, it did not affect him much.
He glided out of the courtyard and out of Gale City. He went straight to Magnificent Wind City and entered Mo Qingqing's residence.
Mo Qingqing was practicing her swordsmanship in the backyard. It was the Divine Light Sword Technique.
Chu Li glided down without making a sound. Mo Qingqing was startled and turned to glare at him.
When she saw Chu Li, she frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
Chu Li replied, "Zhao Dahe."
"It's you!" Mo Qingqing's expression changed slightly and she smiled. "Junior Brother Zhao, I'm your Senior Sister, Mo Qingqing."
Chu Li shook his head. "I dare not call you Junior Brother. I can't accept a Senior Sister like Clan Leader Mo."
"What do you mean, Junior Brother Zhao?" Mo Qingqing smiled.
Her mind raced.
Since she could figure out Zhao Dahe's situation, Zhao Dahe must be able to figure out her as well. Could it be that he was thinking the same thing as her and wanted to get rid of the obstacles in advance?
If she was not determined to win this year, there was no need for her to take such a risk and risk being punished by the Holy Church of Light to assassinate Zhao Dahe.
After ten years of hard cultivation, she felt that she had reached a bottleneck. An invisible force was restraining her and she could not move forward anymore. It was time to enter the Great Light Peak or else her cultivation would be difficult to improve.
This bottleneck was not because she did not have a complete set of techniques. She did not cultivate the techniques to the peak. Instead, it was because she did not have enough martial arts knowledge and cultivation. Cultivating alone was not as fast as having a senior to consult or sparring with other disciples. If she continued like this, she would fall further behind and fade into the crowd.
Chu Li said, "The Qiu Dynasty's Destiny Clan. I'm sure Clan Leader Mo knows about it?"
Mo Qingqing's expression changed completely. She could no longer maintain her composure. "Junior Brother Zhao, you know about the Destiny Clan?"
Chu Li rolled up his sleeves and showed her the four silver tubes that were tied to his arm. He asked, "Clan Leader Mo, do you recognize this?"
"How did you …" Mo Qingqing's beautiful face turned gloomy. "How did you get this?"
Chu Li replied, "They gave it to me."
"Impossible!"
"I still have a bit of a reputation in Gale City. After receiving your money, they didn't want to impersonate me, so they came to confess and gave me these things. Then, they returned to the Qiu Dynasty with their tails between their legs. You won't be able to see them again," Chu Li said.
Mo Qingqing scoffed coldly. She did not believe him.
Chu Li said, "However, to show their sincerity, they killed their employer, Clan Leader Mo, before they came to confess to me to gain my trust."
