PS: Update complete. I'm really sorry, I'm not in the best condition. I need to adjust.
The two of them went to the residence next door. It was also completely destroyed. Not a single part of it was intact. The entire residence was uninhabitable.
Chu Li and Xiao Qi had no choice but to find an inn to stay for the night.
The next morning, they returned to the residence. As soon as they entered the door, they saw three middle-aged men sitting on the steps of the main hall. They were waiting impatiently with flowers in their hands. In front of each of them was a pile of broken petals.
The man sitting in the middle had thick eyebrows and big eyes. When his eyes opened and closed, they emitted a cold glint that was fierce and terrifying. Just by looking at the dense baleful aura around him, one could tell that he had been on the battlefield and had killed many people.
The middle-aged men on both sides had mediocre appearances that were easily forgotten. They were tall and sturdy, and they were both Grandmasters.
They had already stood up and were staring at Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi was dressed in a white tunic with a white veil covering her face. However, her temperament was like that of a fairy. Her cold eyes looked at them calmly as if she was an otherworldly fairy. They could not help but stare at her.
"Who are you?" Chu Li asked.
"You're Chu Li?" The middle-aged man said, "I'm Jin Wu!"
Chu Li nodded. "I'm Chu Li. What can I do for you?"
"Chu Li, the head chief of King An's Imperial Residence?" Jin Wu asked.
Chu Li nodded.
Jin Wu said coldly, "The centurion of the Secret Guardians Hall?"
Chu Li pointed at his surroundings. "Did you guys do this?"
Jin Wu answered, "Yes!"
Chu Li turned to look at Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi moved the long sword at her waist and a sword light flashed. It was so fast that the sword could not be seen.
Jin Wu threw a punch but the tip of the sword had already pierced through his Dantian. His inner energy poured out of his Dantian like a flood and the power in his fist disappeared.
The three of them held their stomachs and stared at Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi had been accumulating her energy for this moment. She wanted to vent her frustrations from last night.
She gently shook the long sword and returned it to its sheath. The white veil covered her face so her face could not be seen. Her eyes were still cold and she stood beside Chu Li like a white jade statue.
Chu Li nodded. "Now we can talk nicely. Tell me, why did you destroy our residence?"
Jin Wu glared at Chu Li viciously. He bit his lip so hard that it bled. "Fine, fine!"
Chu Li said faintly, "It seems like you don't want to talk about it, then don't. Get lost, or else I'll break your limbs and throw you out."
"You …" Jin Wu glared at him. "This is Adjacent Town, not Fairy's Capital!"
"So what if it's Adjacent Town? It's not your place to be tyrannical! "Chu Li said coldly," If you have the guts, ask Huang Feiyun to come! "
The underground master of Adjacent City was Huang Feiyun. This Jin Wu was one of the four great Vajras.
"Fine, fine!" Jin Wu gritted his teeth. "I want to see what will happen to you!"
Chu Li waved his hand. "Get lost!"
Jin Wu and the other two middle-aged men staggered out.
Chu Li scoffed, turned his head and smiled. "My Lady, you did a great job!"
Xiao Qi replied, "I might not be able to defeat Huang Feiyun!"
Chu Li laughed. "My Lady, if you can't defeat Huang Feiyun, then you'll have wasted your time cultivating the Regal Sword Scripture!"
Xiao Qi shook her head. "You can't underestimate the heroes of the world. He must have his own uniqueness to be able to dominate Adjacent Town!"
"Then let's go and take a look!" Chu Li muttered.
Xiao Qi nodded.
She placed her hand on Chu Li's shoulder and glided along with him.
The two of them did not travel fast, so they followed Jin Wu and the other two from afar.
Without their martial arts, they had lost their keen senses. In their daze, they did not notice Chu Li and Xiao Qi.
Chu Li and Xiao Qi chatted as they stared at them.
"How far do you want to go?" Xiao Qi asked.
"To replace them!" Chu Li replied.
"It'll be very difficult." Xiao Qi said softly, "Your identity is inherently disadvantageous. The Secret Guardians Hall is unpopular and everyone has the right to kill you. Besides, you're from the High Duke's Public House, so the people might not be convinced."
"If they're not convinced, I'll beat them into submission!" Chu Li scoffed. "Otherwise, I won't be able to live peacefully and cultivate."
"… That's true." Xiao Qi nodded.
The tree longed for peace, but the wind would not stop. Since they had just arrived, if they could not gain a foothold, there would be endless troubles. Chu Li's identity attracted too much hatred, so if he wanted to live peacefully, he had to subdue the people around him.
Jin Wu and the other two stumbled to a restaurant and went up to the third floor before they came to a young man.
The young man wore a sapphire blue robe and was sitting at a table by the window in the restaurant where Chu Li and Xiao Qi had their meal last night. He held a glass of wine and sipped it as he pondered with a serious expression.
He was the only one on the spacious floor. It was empty, but the first and second floors were bustling.
"Boss Huang!" Jin Wu and the two middle-aged men went forward and fist saluted with a gloomy expression. "Help us!"
Huang Feiyun turned to look at the three of them and asked, "What's wrong now?"
"Our martial arts have been crippled by Chu Li!" Jin Wu gritted his teeth. "We can only ask Boss Huang to help us!"
"Third Lady Xiao?" Huang Feiyun asked.
Chu Li's martial arts had been crippled, so he could not fight, so Xiao Qi was the only one who could.
"Yes." Jin Wu scoffed. "Third Lady Xiao's martial arts are more powerful than the rumors say. She defeated us in one move!"
"Hmm, that's Third Lady Xiao." Huang Feiyun nodded and smiled. "I've admired such a powerful beauty for a long time. Now that she's finally here in Adjacent Town, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"Boss Huang!" Jin Wu yelled in dissatisfaction.
Then, he remembered that he was no longer the valiant general he used to be. He had lost his martial arts and was now a cripple!
"Jin Wu, what do you think would happen if she becomes my wife?" Huang Feiyun smiled. "I've been fighting on the battlefield for the past thirty years. Now that I've come to Adjacent Town, I'm not interested in those ordinary women. Now, I've finally met such a wonderful person!"
"Boss Huang, although you've been a chiliarch, Third Lady Xiao's standards must be very high. I'm afraid she won't like you!" Jin Wu quickly said.
"It's okay if she doesn't like me." Huang Feiyun shook his head. "Let's get married first. What's done can't be undone!"
"She's the Third Lady of the High Duke's Public House!" Jin Wu said. "If we offend the High Duke's Public House, we won't even know how we'll die!"
"We're already a family. Why would she go against me?" Huang Feiyun chuckled. "As long as we have the High Duke's Public House, it'll be easy for us to leave this damned place."
"If it's that easy, Chu Li wouldn't have come here!" Jin Wu quickly said.
Huang Feiyun shook his head. "Chu Li's different. He's offended the Emperor. No one can save him, not even the High Duke's Public House. As long as I kill him, Third Lady Xiao will belong to me. Haha!"
He laughed and clenched his fists. "That's why Chu Li must die!"
"But he's known by the Emperor. Who knows if the Emperor will put him in an important position?" Jin Wu hesitated.
He was filled with hatred. Of course, he wanted Chu Li and Xiao Qi dead. Chu Li's death would not be enough to vent his hatred. Xiao Qi should die with him!
"Young fellow …" Huang Feiyun pointed at him. "You're so narrow-minded. Don't worry, I'll find a way to get you some spirit pills to help you recover your martial arts!"
"Really?" Jin Wu was overjoyed.
Huang Feiyun said, "Although it won't be easy, it's not impossible. If I can become the son-in-law of the High Duke's Public House, I'll be more confident!"
"Then hurry up and kill Chu Li," Jin Wu said.
