"Continue searching, dig him out even if you have to dig a hundred feet underground!" Chen Donghai scoffed angrily.
Feng Qi said coldly, "From what you've said, Sir Chen is certain that he's hiding here!"
"I can't be wrong!" Chen Donghai gritted his teeth as he felt the humiliation of being toyed with. "You can't escape, Sir Feng. That fellow can't escape either, my men have already surrounded this place!"
"Fabricating something out of nothing!" Feng Qi shook his head.
Subsequently, they found two more cellars, but unfortunately, there was no one there.
"Sir Feng, what's your motive for digging so many cellars?" Chen Donghai asked coldly.
After listening to everyone's report, his heart sank.
If he was really hiding in the Feng Residence, he would definitely not be able to escape the search of his men. They were all experts in searching and would definitely not miss anything. For example, their men had rowed a small boat to slowly search the small lake. The lake was so clear that they could see the bottom at a glance.
After such a thorough search, they still could not find the person, so it was likely that he was not in the residence.
Feng Qi could not help but laugh. "Sir Chen, you're asking such a stupid question. Since you're digging cellars, why don't you dig a few more places?"
"Alright, alright!" Chen Donghai gritted his teeth and scoffed. "Sir Feng, I've got my eyes on you. You'd better not let me get hold of you, or else, you won't be able to make a comeback!"
"I won't let this go!" Feng Qi said coldly, "Sir Chen, just wait for it!"
"Let's go!" Chen Donghai shouted and turned to leave the Feng Residence with his men.
As soon as he left the Feng Residence, he immediately waved his hand. Everyone nodded tacitly and glided into the Feng Residence again.
Feng Qi sat in the main hall and drank tea to calm himself.
He was puzzled. Why were they not hiding in the cellars? Did they leave without anyone knowing?
At this time, Chu Li was in the forest in the backyard garden of two residences away.
His Omniscient Mirror covered a radius of ten miles, so he had long noticed Chen Donghai's movements.
Li Ruolan trusted his intuition for danger. When he said that there was danger and they needed to avoid it, she believed him.
The two of them climbed over the wall and left. Soon, they passed two mansions and arrived at the back garden of the third mansion. There, they found a forest that was easy to hide in, so they went in.
There was a stone table and four stone stools in the forest. After the two of them sat down, they remained silent while Chu Li used the Omniscient Mirror to observe Chen Donghai.
In the Secret Guardians Hall, Chen Donghai was no match for him. Now that they had become enemies, Chen Donghai was still no match for him. This Feng Qi, on the other hand, was just average. The comfortable life had worn away his spirit, so he was not a good spy.
However, Feng Qi was only an insignificant chess piece to the Holy Church of Light. He was only a temporary shelter for the disciples of the Holy Church of Light, so he did not need to be too brilliant. Otherwise, he would arouse suspicion. Mediocrity was the best cover.
It was unknown how many pawns the Holy Church of Light had in the Great Ji Dynasty. It seemed like his ability to set up pawns was still lacking. Zhuo Feiyang, Gu Litong, the Startling Cloud Association, and the Crouching Bull Mountain were not as impressive as the Holy Church of Light. This was also the foundation of a sect that had been passed down for thousands of years.
"Why would someone come looking for us?" Li Ruolan frowned and muttered softly, "Could it be that Feng Qi has been exposed?"
Chu Li replied, "The Tempest Temple must have tipped them off."
He saw Fa Yuan and Fa Xiang standing on the roof and watching them quietly. Fa Yuan's method was very ordinary, but it was effective. If it was someone else, they would have fallen for it.
"Aren't they incompatible with the imperial court?"
"They can work together even if they are incompatible."
Chu Li, Fa Yuan, and Lu Yurong were all opponents, but they would still work together and fall out with each other when it was necessary.
Li Ruolan said, "It's good that Feng Qi has not been exposed."
"He's now suspected by the Secret Guardians Hall, so we can't use him anymore," Chu Li said.
Li Ruolan nodded lightly. "Then we won't disturb him anymore. Let him live a peaceful life. He's doing well in Fairy's Capital, and I don't think he wants to return to the Great Light Peak."
"People are fickle, it's inevitable," Chu Li said. "I need to start healing and get rid of that palm energy."
As he spoke, he closed his eyes and instantly entered the void of his mind. He began to chant the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture in reverse.
The red lotuses turned into flames and fell on his body. Suddenly, he felt a burning pain as if he was being burned at the stake again.
This pain was much more satisfying than extorting a confession by torture. If one did not have a strong will, they would not be able to hold on and would easily collapse.
In his previous life, tiredness and boredom could stop him from improving his professional level and survival skills. However, it was completely different in this world. Even the pain of being burned at the stake could not defeat him. This was the difference between a mediocre person and an expert.
Li Ruolan stared at him with her bright eyes.
Judging from his tone, he really had a way to get rid of the palm energy!
Suddenly, Chu Li's body became extremely hot like a ball of fire. Li Ruolan could not help but take two steps back and looked at him worriedly.
The heat emitted from Chu Li's body became stronger and stronger. The temperature seemed to be able to boil water.
However, his clothes were unharmed, and so were the flowers and plants around him. Li Ruolan could not help but wonder if it was an illusion. Was it really an illusion?
Chu Li's body became hotter, and Li Ruolan had to take two steps back.
Suddenly, the heat around his body disappeared as if it was never there.
Chu Li suddenly opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Li Ruolan quickly went forward to support him. "Are you okay?"
Chu Li shook his head. "I'm fine."
"Fine?"
"The palm energy has been dispelled."
Li Ruolan was shocked. "It's broken just like that?"
She placed her hand on Chu Li's wrist and circulated her inner energy. She realized that his internal organs had recovered and were full of vitality. Only his cultivation level had not recovered.
"Can you really break this palm energy?" Li Ruolan stared at him with her bright eyes.
Chu Li replied, "Didn't I say that I can break it?"
"You …" Li Ruolan felt that she had been fooled.
She was so touched and tolerated him. She thought that he was sacrificing himself to help her and Senior Brother Ji. She could not bear the deep love she had for him and could not repay him. Now, it seemed that she had been overthinking. He was confident that he could break the palm energy!
Chu Li said, "Let's leave quickly. The monks from the Tempest Temple are probably coming after us!"
He had already seen Fa Yuan and Fa Xiang gliding down from the roof. They had noticed something was wrong and were rushing towards him.
"You go!" Li Ruolan glared at him. "I'll go! We'll go our separate ways! "
Chu Li said impatiently, "What if you run into the monks from the Tempest Temple? Do you think you can escape? "
"It's fine if I can't escape!" Li Ruolan scoffed.
Chu Li shook his head. "If I can't escape, I'll have to save you. Instead of going through so much trouble, let's leave together. Hurry up!"
Fa Yuan and Fa Xiang were getting closer and closer.
He did not say anything else to Li Ruolan. Instead, he grabbed her wrist and glided away.
Li Ruolan wanted to struggle but her body was weak. She could only let Chu Li take her away. No matter how angry she was, she knew that the situation was urgent and she could not throw a tantrum. She could only stare at him with her bright eyes to express her dissatisfaction.
Chu Li brought her out of Fairy's Capital and let out a long sigh of relief. "We finally got rid of them!"
