"Ahem!" A clear cough woke her up. When she heard Zhao Dahe's voice, she quickly asked, "Young Master Zhao, am I in the middle of a formation?"
"Yes." Chu Li's voice came from above as if it came from the sky.
"How can I get out?" Yue Ru asked.
Chu Li's voice carried a hint of a smile. "You can try to break through and see if you can."
"Okay!" Yue Ru leaped up and tried to chase after Chu Li's voice. However, she fell halfway and could not continue. Her body became heavier and she could not break free or jump higher.
She climbed up the peak for a while but realized that it was futile. Hence, she decided to turn back. However, when she looked back, she saw that the white fog had blocked her vision and the path down the mountain. She could not find her way back at all.
She refused to believe it and continued to walk down even though she could not see the path clearly.
Chu Li's voice rang out. "You would've killed yourself if I had a few knives."
Yue Ru stopped and turned to the side. Soon, she heard Chu Li's voice again. "You've died again."
Yue Ru pursed her red lips and thought for a while. Then, she used her Light-body Technique again and headed toward the top of the mountain.
Chu Li said, "You're going in circles now. You've gone in circles more than ten times."
Yue Ru scoffed. "Is there any way to break the formation?"
Chu Li shook his head. "For those who don't understand formations, they can only use brute force to attack in one direction. However, the power of a formation is void energy, and a human's strength is insignificant in front of it. Only an Enlightened Master would stand a chance."
"Is there no other way?" Yue Ru asked.
"If you want to break the formation, you'll need to be a formation master to find the exit. The other way is to use brute force." Chu Li said, "It's almost impossible to set up a formation perfectly. Once there's a flaw, the power of the formation will inevitably be sluggish. Brute force can break it, so it depends on one's luck. If you're lucky, the formation will have a big flaw. If you're unlucky, the formation will have a small flaw and you won't be able to break it no matter what."
There were too many environmental variables. It was almost impossible to perfectly fit the formation as there would always be errors.
"What about this formation?"
"This formation is very small and there are enough jade artifacts, so the flaw is very small. It'll be difficult to break it with brute force," Chu Li said. "Come out!"
He suddenly stepped into the room and pulled Yue Ru out.
Yue Ru felt the world around her suddenly change and she reappeared in the main hall on the first floor of the Phoenix Goddess Brothel. The gigantic peak that she saw earlier was like a dream, but she could clearly feel that it was real. It was definitely not an illusion.
Chu Li seemed to know what she was thinking and said, "The power of the formation works on the five senses. You can see it with your eyes and touch it with your hands and feet. That's why you think it's real, but you can't tell whether it's real or not. This is just like what Buddhism says, the five senses are hindered."
"They won't be able to escape!" Yue Ru's spirits lifted.
With this array formation, these fellows wouldn't be able to come or go!
Chu Li smiled. "They might not dare to enter this formation, so don't get your hopes up."
If they had sharp senses, they would have sensed danger and wouldn't have dared to enter.
Yue Ru said, "I'll tell Master about this."

At dawn, Chu Li arrived at Nine Star Tower.
He arrived very early and grabbed a table in front of the window. He ordered a few dishes and sipped his wine slowly.
Nine Star Tower's culinary skills were top-notch. It was not because of Roaring Tiger Clan's reputation that it was able to become the number one restaurant in Gale City.
Chu Li was halfway through his meal when he saw Yang Ying walking up the stairs. When she saw Chu Li, she stopped in her tracks and turned around to leave.
Chu Li raised his voice and called out, "Miss Yang!"
Everyone looked at Yang Ying.
Under everyone's gaze, Yang Ying pursed her lips and glared at Chu Li. She angrily approached him and sat opposite him. "Why are you calling me? I'm going to avoid you!"
Chu Li smiled. "Can you stay for another day?"
"More or less." Yang Ying scoffed. "I've been eating here and there, but the food here is still the best. You can avoid me for two days. I'll be leaving soon. From now on, we'll mind our own business!"
Chu Li chuckled. "You know about the Church of the Bloody Garment, don't you?"
"The Church of the Bloody Garment?" Yang Ying was stunned. She tilted her head and thought about it. "I think I've heard them talking about it."
"Doesn't Roaring Tiger Clan want to help?" Chu Li asked.
Yang Ying replied, "They want to watch the drama unfold at Phoenix Goddess Brothel. Why would they help us? They're lucky that they didn't kick us when we're down!"
She was filled with indignation when she said this.
Chu Li smiled. "Aren't the three sects allies? Why aren't they helping us at such a crucial time? "
"They're only allies when they're dealing with the Holy Church of Light. They're enemies at other times." Yang Ying scoffed and waved her hand. "Forget it. I don't want to care about these trivial matters. Just be careful of your sweetheart."
Chu Li laughed. "Miss Yue Ru likes Young Master Lu."
"You like Miss Yue Ru." Yang Ying scoffed. "It's not like we're in each other's way, is it?"
Chu Li said, "Alright, let's not talk about this. Once the Church of the Bloody Garment enters the city, how can they not kill people? Will the White Tiger Sect just stand by and watch? "
"The Church of the Bloody Garment's disciples are crazy. Moreover, there are only twenty of them. They're not worth caring about." Yang Ying scoffed. "How despicable. They don't care about me!"
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. "If you interfere, you'll bring trouble to the White Tiger Sect."
"What's there to be afraid of?" Yang Ying scoffed. "As a member of the White Tiger Sect, we'll look for trouble ourselves. We're not afraid of trouble!"
Chu Li gave her a thumbs up. "Women are not inferior to men. I'm impressed!"
Yang Ying scoffed. "You're trying your best to recruit people for the Phoenix Goddess Brothel. I'm just worried that Miss Yue Ru won't appreciate it."
Chu Li smiled. "I can't help it."
"Alright, I'll definitely help you because of your infatuation," Yang Ying said.
Chu Li chuckled. "There's no need for that. I don't want you to be punished. The Phoenix Goddess Brothel is already prepared and waiting for them."
He did not care about his reputation. After all, the strong were respected. As long as his martial arts were good enough, everything would be a good story. If his martial arts were bad, everything would be a joke. It was fun to pretend to be Miss Yue Ru's admirer and infatuated lover.
"What preparations?" Yang Ying scoffed. "Among the three sects, the Phoenix Goddess Brothel is the weakest. If it weren't for Senior Bai, the Roaring Tiger Clan and the Blazing Sun Clan would be able to suppress them!"
Chu Li shook his head. "The Roaring Tiger Clan and the Blazing Sun Clan can't handle the Church of the Bloody Garment, but the Phoenix Goddess Brothel can."
"That's true." Yang Ying nodded. "The Roaring Tiger Clan and the Blazing Sun Clan are cowards. They don't dare to provoke the Church of the Bloody Garment, but the Phoenix Goddess Brothel isn't afraid. They still rely on women during crucial times!"
Chu Li laughed.
Yang Ying said, "The men of Gale City are too useless!"
She spoke without restraint and her voice was not soft. The people around them heard her and glared at her.
"Bang!" A firework suddenly exploded in the sky.
Chu Li glanced at it. "It's the Phoenix Goddess Brothel!"
His Omniscient Mirror had already seen ten men in white rushing toward the Phoenix Goddess Brothel.
The Phoenix Goddess Brothel was very quiet. They only slept at midnight and were sleeping soundly in the morning.
Among the ten men in white, two of them were middle-aged while the other eight were young men. Their bodies were full of vigor and vigor that surpassed that of ordinary people. They rushed out from the corner of the wall, crashed open the main door of the Phoenix Goddess Brothel, and rushed in.
