Chu Li nodded in satisfaction and turned to enter the courtyard.
A fierce battle was going on in the Roaring Tiger Clan.
Chu Li raised his voice. "Alright, Hu Ya and the rest have surrendered. It doesn't matter if the rest surrender or not. Everyone, retreat!"
"Yes!" The ten masters of the Radiance Clan answered in a deep voice.
The ten of them formed a circle and slowly retreated. Almost a hundred people watched as they left the Roaring Tiger Clan. When they were outside the clan, some of them had already run to Zheng Tianhe's courtyard.
After a while, a scream was heard. "Clan Leader!"
Chu Li shook his head and nodded at the ten people standing in front of him. "Very good. You'll be rewarded when we return."
"Thank you, Clan Leader!" The men said in unison.
Chu Li waved his hand. "Go back!"
"Yes!" The men answered.
Chu Li brought the ten men back to the Radiance Clan.
Hu Ya and the other thirty men were already waiting outside the Radiance Clan. When they saw Chu Li, they gave a fist salute.
"Let's go. We'll be a family from now on. Let's go in," Chu Li said.
Kou Qiong and the other two men were already sitting in the Radiance Clan.
They recovered quickly after consuming Chu Li's spirit pills. After half a day, they had recovered and no longer looked like they were on the verge of death. They sat steadily in the main hall.
When they saw Chu Li, the three men stood up and gave him a fist salute.
Chu Li waved his hand. "From today onward, they belong to the Radiance Clan. Take good care of them."
Kou Qiong and the other two men looked at Hu Ya and the others in shock.
Hu Ya smiled bitterly and gave a fist salute. "Please advise us."
Kou Qiong and the other two fist saluted.
"Young Master, this is …?"
"They've surrendered!"
"What about Roaring Tiger Hall?" Kou Qiong blinked, feeling that his brain was not enough to process everything.
Chu Li replied snappily, "I killed Zheng Tianhe and forced them to surrender. I don't want the remaining hundred or so useless people. I only want these thirty people. That should be enough for our Gale Branch, right?"
"Young Master, you killed Zheng Tianhe?" Kou Qiong asked.
Chu Li frowned and said impatiently, "Old Kou, Zheng Tianhe must have hurt your brain!"
Kou Qiong smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, yes, I understand Young Master's meaning, but Zheng Tianhe cannot be killed!"
"If he can kill you, why can't we kill him?" Chu Li waved his hand and said, "It's too late for you to say that. Those who should be killed have already been killed. Are you trying to save them?"
"Can he be saved?"
"No!"
"Sigh … Zheng Tianhe's father is Zheng Yanwu, a reclusive master of the White Tiger Sect. It's said that he was also a famous master twenty years ago!" Lu Shu shook his head and sighed, "Now that he has a son, the moment he hears that his son has been killed, he will probably disregard the rule of living in seclusion for a hundred years and come out to kill young master!"
"I was just about to learn from you!" Chu Li scoffed.
In order to truly learn the White Tiger Power, a young fellow like Zheng Tianhe would not be able to do so. His cultivation level was still too shallow. Zheng Yanwu might have a chance.
For the sake of learning the White Tiger Power, taking a little risk was nothing.
Kou Qiong and the other two looked at his nonchalant expression and knew that there was no point in trying to persuade him. Moreover, they had already killed him, so there was no point in apologizing. They couldn't just cut off their heads and give them to Zheng Yanwu, so they had no choice but to endure!
They glanced at Hu Ya and the other thirty people and shook their heads.
These people were the elites of the Roaring Tiger Clan and indeed met the young master's standards. Even the weakest among them was a perfected innate master. However, there were only ten people from the Radiance Clan while there were thirty of them. It would not be easy to pacify them.
Fortunately, the young master was here to hold the line. As long as he could stop Zheng Yanwu, these people would be completely loyal to the Radiance Clan, or rather, to Gale Branch.
The key now was whether the young master could stop Zheng Yanwu.
"Young master, why don't we ask for help from the Great Light Peak?" Kou Qiong suggested.
Chu Li gave him a sidelong glance.
Kou Qiong quickly shut his mouth and stopped talking about this. He turned his head and said, "Young Jiang, arrange for them!"
"Yes!" A skinny young man answered loudly.
He was handsome and agile. He raised his voice and said, "Everyone, follow me. I'll find you a room to stay in!"
Chu Li glanced at Young Jiang and nodded.
Jiang Kuai used the Bone Shrinking Technique to change his appearance. With the Li Dynasty's martial arts that Chu Li taught him and his secret identity, no one except him knew that Jiang Kuai had come here.
After everyone left, Chu Li said, "Look at how scared you are. How can a hundred-year-old man be so scary?"
"Young master, don't underestimate masters who are over a hundred years old." Kou Qiong said, "I heard that their abilities are very terrifying. They're not something that can be achieved within a hundred years. Young master, although you're a top-notch master, your cultivation level is still not up to par."
"Don't worry." Chu Li said, "Just do what you have to do. Don't worry so much!"
"… Yes." Kou Qiong nodded helplessly.
He knew that it was useless to say anything as the young master would not listen to him. However, now that things had come to this, it did not matter whether he listened or not.
"Young master, you should return to the Great Light Peak first." Lu Shu said, "Find some friends to play with. It's much better than staying here."
Chu Li gave him a sidelong glance.
Lu Shu smiled uncomfortably. "He's a hundred-year-old master. It's better to avoid him. We shouldn't fight him head-on."
"Once I leave, none of you will be able to escape!" Chu Li scoffed. "Alright, don't come up with stupid ideas. I'll wait for him here and see how capable he is. Don't disturb me!"
He turned around and left after saying that.
Without Zheng Tianhe, there was no need for him to go to the small residence at the Roaring Tiger Clan. Hence, he stayed at his original residence.
That night, he appeared at King An's Imperial Residence and told Xiao Qi and Xiao Shi that he would not be coming back for a few days.
If Zheng Yanwu could not find him in Gale City, he would vent his anger on the Radiance Clan.
Xiao Qi did not seem to have changed. She was still cold, but Chu Li knew her very well. He knew that she was not as cold as before. It was as if she had opened up her heart.
It seemed like what he said earlier had worked. Xiao Qi could only forget her feelings when she was in love. Xiao Qi no longer deliberately kept him at a distance.
"Now that we're back, let's go into isolated cultivation at the Spirit Cranes Peak." Chu Li smiled.
The small courtyard was lit up as if it was daytime.
The three of them sat at the stone table in the courtyard. Yang Xu and Menglan were not around, so the three of them were eating snacks and talking to each other.
Under the light, the two women looked like jade statues. Their beauty was indescribable.
"You two should go." Xiao Shi smiled. "You're going to practice martial arts. I don't practice martial arts, so it's useless even if I go."
Xiao Qi said, "Second Eldest Sister, you should go with us."
Siao Shi grinned and said, "I'm a tactful person."
"Second Eldest Sister, if you're not going, I won't go either," Xiao Qi said.
Chu Li said, "Second Lady, you don't like it there? The scenery there is better than here. You can't go into isolated cultivation for too long. You should start from three to five days and slowly extend the time. "
"Mm, that's fine." Xiao Shi nodded.
As the three of them were talking, Zhu Tianhua's voice came from outside. "Head Chief, someone is looking for you outside."
"Who?" Chu Li asked.
Zhu Tianhua said, "He's being very mysterious. He only asked me to secretly pass a waist tag to Head Chief."
"Come in!" Chu Li shouted.
Zhu Tianhua's towering body pushed open the door and entered. He took out a black iron tag and handed it to Chu Li with both hands.
Chu Li's expression changed. He said, "Bring him to my courtyard. Go through the back door. Don't let anyone see him!"
