"Senior Sister, leave now!" Chu Li said in a low voice.
In just a short while, his internal energy had completely disappeared. His Dantian was empty and his whole body felt weak.
He didn't expect that the floating silkworm treasured robe wouldn't be able to block the thin old man's sword. His luck was really bad today!
Li Ruolan's bright eyes swept across the surface of the water like lightning. She activated a wooden plank and shot it out like an arrow. It formed a silver thread on the surface of the water and went far away in the blink of an eye.
The two old men at the bottom of the water watched them leave, but they were not in a hurry to chase after them. Only when they reached the shore did the two of them chase after them from afar. They took off their black clothes and revealed excited expressions.
Now that he had rid himself of the threat of the Light Blade, there was no need for him to wear this treasured robe anymore.
As soon as he stepped onto the shore, Chu Li hurriedly said, "Senior Sister, remove the secret technique!"
"No." Li Ruolan shook her head. "They'll come after us the moment we remove the secret technique!"
Chu Li said, "Don't worry, I'll deal with them!"
Li Ruolan looked down at him and shook her head gently.
Her eyes were as cold as ice, and there seemed to be two balls of fire burning in her pupils.
Not only did the Secret Technique of Great Light increase her power, but it also changed her temperament. She became cold and emotionless, suppressing her emotions. She only had pure rationality to weigh the pros and cons and choose the best method.
According to her calculations, it would be best for her to activate her secret skill and enter the Dali Dynasty as soon as possible.
After crossing this wide river, it would only take them two hours to enter the Li Dynasty. Once they entered the Li Dynasty, they would no longer dare to pursue them.
Chu Li replied helplessly, "Senior Sister, don't forget that I have the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture!"
"Your martial arts have been crippled!" Li Ruolan said.
Chu Li said impatiently, "Stop the secret skill, I have my ways!"
Li Ruolan looked at him.
Chu Li's expression was resolute as he stared at her sternly.
Li Ruolan nodded helplessly and withdrew her secret skill.
The two of them immediately slowed down, like the difference between an ox cart and a horse carriage. At this moment, they just happened to arrive at the side of a forest.
Chu Li said, "Senior Sister, take a break. I need to heal myself."
He took out a few bottles of pills, shook his head, and sighed. "I didn't expect Elder Zhou's pills to really come in handy!"
These few bottles of medicinal pills were all top-notch medicine. He poured out two pills and stuffed them into his mouth.
"It's not too late to heal after returning to Dali." Li Ruolan did not stop walking and said, "The key is to get back as soon as possible. Once we enter the Li Dynasty, they won't dare to pursue us anymore!"
Chu Li shook his head and sneered, "Wouldn't it be too easy for them to escape unscathed? … To think that I held back at that time. If I had killed him directly, we wouldn't be in this predicament today. This is the result of being soft-hearted! "
A person's heart is fickle. Previously, when he told the Thin Elder to retreat, the other party did not have any killing intent. Who would have thought that the Thin Elder would be filled with killing intent this time around. If he had known this would happen, he would have crippled this person even if he didn't kill him.
Li Ruolan frowned. "Did you bump into the guy who injured you earlier?"
Chu Li nodded.
Li Ruolan said, "Junior Brother, you must be feeling very aggrieved."
Chu Li scoffed and glared at her.
Even though Li Ruolan's heartstrings were stretched taut, and she felt that the situation was not good and that she might die here due to a lack of effort, she could not help but laugh when she saw his expression.
Chu Li said, "Senior Sister, stop!"
"… Sigh, alright." Li Ruolan helplessly stopped in her tracks.
"Enter the forest and find a place to recuperate," Chu Li said.
"What's the point of recuperating now?" Li Ruolan shook her head. "It's impossible for me to recover my martial arts."
Chu Li scoffed. "Don't worry, I'll kill them later!"
"Junior Brother, how dare you!" Li Ruolan pursed her lips and laughed. "You're just talking big!"
Chu Li said, "Senior Sister, you don't understand the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture, do you?"
Li Ruolan shook her head. "It doesn't matter how strong it is, it can't recover your martial arts immediately. Look at Qin Huaichuan, it took him more than half a month to recover his martial arts. It's already very scary!"
"I'm not trying to recover my martial arts." Chu Li shook his head. "Senior Sister, I'll show you another magical effect of the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture later."
"What magical effect?" Li Ruolan asked.
As they spoke, she put her arm around Chu Li's waist and entered the forest. They saw a post house.
"Over there." Chu Li pointed at the post house.
The two entered the small post house. Chu Li immediately sat on the stone table and crossed his legs. He did not move an inch as if he was an old monk in meditation.
"What magical effect is it?" Li Ruolan asked curiously.
Chu Li closed his eyes. "Switching between reality and illusion. I'll use your inner energy to deal with them later!"
"How can I channel my inner energy if my Dantian is crippled?" Li Ruolan frowned.
Chu Li said, "This is the magical effect of the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture. Senior Sister, you just have to trust me. Let's lure them over now!"
"… Alright." Li Ruolan saw that he did not want to say more, so she did not disturb him anymore. She began to channel to recover. Even though she had only used the Secret Technique of Great Light for a short while, it was still a huge drain.
The surroundings became quiet. Birds chirped softly.
Two elders in green robes slowly approached them. When they saw Chu Li and Li Ruolan sitting in the small post house, they hesitated and did not move.
"Junior Brother Liu, this is a good opportunity. Let's do it," the plump elder said.
The thin elder shook his head. "Senior Brother Zheng, something's not right. They should be running away but they stopped. It's as if they're trying to lure us over. They must be plotting something!"
"Junior Brother Liu, you're getting more and more timid." The plump elder turned and stared at him. "One of them has his martial arts crippled while the other has just used a secret skill. What can they do?! … The most threatening fella has been crippled. That little girl is the only one left. If we can't take her down together, she'll be the Saint of the Holy Church of Light! "
"… That's true." The thin elder frowned and slowly nodded.
He still felt that something was wrong. "But I keep feeling threatened. It's better not to get close. Let's wait and see."
"Let's wait. If they enter the Li Dynasty's territory, it won't be easy to deal with them." The plump elder shook his head. "Who knows if they have reinforcements!"
"Then let's wait until they make a move," the thin elder said.
The plump elder stared at him.
The thin elder said, "Senior Brother Zheng, my intuition is never wrong. They must be plotting something. My intuition is telling me not to get close."
"What if they keep cultivating to heal their injuries? Are we just going to wait?" The plump elder said. "It's better to go back now and give up on chasing after them!"
The thin elder frowned and slowly nodded. "This is the best plan. It's best to leave now. They're in danger!"
"Junior Brother Liu!" The chubby old man shook his head helplessly. "If he was a Law Emperor or something like that, we could just leave and no one would say anything. But he's just a nobody. He killed our disciple. If we don't take care of him, we really won't be able to face anyone."
"He's not a nobody." The thin elder scoffed. "Senior Brother Zheng, it's not like you haven't seen his Light Blade!"
"I've seen it but no one else has," the plump elder said.
"No matter what, I believe in my intuition," the thin elder said and turned to leave.
"Junior Brother Liu!" The plump elder did not expect him to leave.
