With a wave of his hand, a flying knife flew into his hand from the ground.
Bai Feng was surprised. "Can you really kill Xu Zhengzong?"
Chu Li raised his head and said, "The Single Slice of the Universe is indeed mysterious, I used it to kill Xu Zhengzong."
Bai Feng's eyes flickered. "You've mastered the Single Slice of the Universe?"
Chu Li nodded. "I was lucky."
"As expected of a genius." Bai Feng's watery eyes scanned his body a few times.
The Single Slice of the Universe was placed in the Sutra Library of Tian Luo Sect. Until now, no one had managed to cultivate it. This was also the reason why it was given to Chu Li. No matter how powerful a martial art was, it was useless if it could not be cultivated.
She did not expect Chu Li to be able to master it.
"Sigh …" Chu Li's face was full of regret. "Too bad I can only use it once. Otherwise, I wouldn't be afraid of anyone!"
A hint of a smile flashed across Bai Feng's bright eyes. "Invincible? There is no such thing as an invincible martial art in this world. Moreover, no matter how powerful you are, you can't be stronger than an Enlightened Master. "
Chu Li asked, "Senior, why are you here?"
Bai Feng scoffed and said, "That little Yang Ying came looking for me."
Chu Li smiled.
"Looks like that little girl is very concerned about you." Bai Feng glanced at the dried corpse on the ground and felt relieved. Then, she joked, "Looks like the White Tiger Sect's honey trap didn't backfire."
Chu Li smiled. "Senior, what are you thinking? We're friends."
"I can tell from her anxious look that she's no ordinary friend." Bai Feng smiled. "Her master isn't in Gale City, so she had no choice but to look for me. I was shocked too. Xu Zhengzong is a powerful person, even I can't deal with him."
Chu Li nodded.
Xu Zhengzong's Bloody Garment Divine Technique was at an extremely high level and was extremely powerful. It was as if he was wearing a precious armor. If it wasn't for the Single Slice of the Universe's strange Knife Qi, there was really no way to kill him.
Bai Feng said, "He was able to escape from the siege of the Church of the Bloody Garment last time. I didn't expect him to be defeated by you this time. He's really unlucky."
"He was defeated by the martial arts of the Tian Luo Sect. It's karma." Chu Li smiled.
Bai Feng pursed her lips and smiled. "That's true."
If he had not given Chu Li the Single Slice of the Universe, Chu Li would not have been able to kill Xu Zhengzong and get rid of the Tian Luo Sect's biggest threat. He had indeed reaped what he sowed, and he still had a share of the credit.
She broke off a branch and moved it on the dried corpse. She plucked a ring off Xu Zhengzong's left thumb, wrapped it in a silk handkerchief and carefully put it into her bosom. "This is Xu Zhengzong's cult leader ring. It can prove his identity."
Chu Li waved his long sword and dug a big hole. Then, he tossed Xu Zhengzong's corpse into the hole so that he could rest in peace.

When the two of them returned to the Phoenix Goddess Brothel, Yang Ying was in one of the rooms on the second floor. She was holding onto the window and looking down. When she saw Chu Li, she quickly waved at him.
Chu Li nodded and bid farewell to Bai Feng. He glided through the window and landed inside the house.
Stepping on the thick and soft carpet, Chu Li smiled. "Thank you, Miss Yang."
"Is that guy dead?" Yang Ying asked.
Chu Li nodded. "He couldn't be more dead."
Yang Ying let out a long sigh of relief. "It's good that he's dead. … Zhao Dahe, you're indeed a troublesome person. Nothing good will come out of meeting you. I'll be leaving now."
Chu Li asked, "Where are you cultivating in seclusion? Do you want me to visit you later?"
He was reluctant to part with such a friend. He did not have to put in much effort to talk to her. He could say whatever he wanted and did not have to worry about being plotted against.
Yang Ying shook her head. "I can't do that. I'm going to cultivate in seclusion."
"At White Tiger Peak?"
"No, I … I can't tell you. Only Master and I know."
Chu Li had already seen where she was cultivating in seclusion. He smiled. "Alright, I won't go. You can look for me at Small Light Peak."
"No problem," Yang Ying said. "If it doesn't work out, I'll look for you at Radiance Clan."
"Yes." Chu Li nodded.
Yang Ying waved her hand. Then, she leaped out of the window and flew to the first floor like a swallow. She then left the Phoenix Goddess Brothel.
Chu Li let out a long sigh. He held onto the window and did not move for a long time.
Yue Ru entered gracefully. "Big Brother Zhao …"
Chu Li did not turn around. "Okay."
"Master and I will be away for a few days," Yue Ru said softly.
Chu Li turned his head to look at her.
Yue Ru said softly, "Master said that Xu Zhengzong's death is a serious matter. She wants to personally return to the mountain to report. I'll go with her."
Chu Li nodded. "Okay."
"I've already told them to help you cultivate, Big Brother Zhao."
"There's no need for that. I'll cultivate on my own."
"Big Brother Zhao …"
Chu Li smiled. "I'll be cultivating the Single Slice of the Universe soon."
"… Alright." Yue Ru nodded.
Chu Li said, "I'm fine. What about you? Why do you want to go back?"
Yue Ru sighed. "Master said that I'll be cultivating in seclusion."
"This is a serious matter," Chu Li said.
Yue Ru looked at him. "I wonder what will happen when you come out of seclusion."
Chu Li smiled. "You might not be able to see me when you come out of seclusion."
Yue Ru nodded with a disappointed look on her face.
Chu Li said, "But Radiance Clan is here. I'll come back often."
Yue Ru smiled.
Chu Li took out a jade pendant from his inner pocket and handed it to her. "Take this. If you encounter any danger, crush it and I'll know. I'll rush over."
Yue Ru's smile widened. "Is this a personal item of yours, Big Brother Zhao?"
"I guess so." Chu Li nodded.
He had been keeping these jade pendants close to his body all this time. Once they were contaminated with his aura, he would be able to sense them through the All-Seeing Divine Power and use God's Limbs to rush over.
This was the inspiration he got from the Sarira Prayer Beads from the Titanium Temple. In the future, Siao Shi would have jade pendants in addition to the Sarira Beads. Since the Sarira Beads were very hard, he might not be able to crush them.
Yue Ru carefully took them and smiled sweetly. "Thank you, Big Brother Zhao."
Chu Li shook his head and smiled. "Don't mention it."
"Big Brother Zhao, you must come back often," Yue Ru said.
Chu Li nodded.
Yue Ru tactfully said goodbye and left. Her footsteps were light and she was in a good mood.
Chu Li smiled.
He took two cups and a pot of wine and left the Phoenix Goddess Brothel. Then, he went to a gazebo near the east gate of Gale City.
Not long after he arrived, two horses came out of the east gate. One was dressed in an emerald green gown while the other was dressed in a lake green gown. Both of them had white veils covering their faces. They were graceful as they rode on their horses. They slowly exited the city gate and urged their horses to speed up.
"Miss Yang!" Chu Li called out.
The two horses arrived in front of the gazebo.
Chu Li gave a fist salute to Yang Ying's master, Weng Hua. "Greetings, Senior."
Weng Hua smiled and nodded.
Yang Ying, who was dressed in an emerald green gown, leaped from her horse to the gazebo and stood in front of him. "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to send you off!" Chu Li poured a cup of wine and handed it to her. "Drink this."
Yang Ying took off her veil and revealed her delicate and lively face. She took the silver cup and drank it in one gulp.
Chu Li also poured a cup for himself and drank it in one gulp.
Yang Ying reached out her pale little hand and patted his shoulder. "I'll come and play with you the next time I come out of Isolated Cultivation!"
"Alright, I'll be waiting for you." Chu Li smiled.
