Chu Li nodded slowly.

To present, he had encountered numerous heroic figures in the world, thus he knew that he was not invincible, and was still far from that. King An was very lucky that even after several setbacks, he did not crumble, but rose up stronger instead. It was truly amazing.

Nevertheless, if it was not because of the fact that he was the Royal Highness and was protected by the emperor, he would have already been killed by Chu Li multiple times.

Being an Enlightened Master, the emperor was too terrifying. Chu Li witnessed his strength and knew very well that he would die by just one attack from his palm, so much so he would not survive even with the Life and Death Scripture. As powerful as the Life and Death Scripture was, one would not be revived if one’s body was broken in pieces.

All along, he felt that it was honestly unworthy to die for a fella like King An. Even if King An committed evil deeds, there was only so much damage he could do. Therefore, there was no need for Chu Li to die together with him, by which he only needed to find a way to settle him.

Deep in his bones, he never viewed King An as his opponent, but only a person whom he could easily suppress at any time. Depending on his mood, there were simply too many ways for him to settle him.

However, now it seemed like he had underestimated all heroic figures in the world, and underestimated His Highness, King An. To his surprise, King An somehow mastered a divine technique again.

As he looked at the starry night sky, he sighed helplessly. ‘If I don’t become an Enlightened Master, my hands and feet will forever be bounded. I can’t even kill King An.’ At that moment, he suddenly had a strong urge to kill King An!

If he wanted to kill King An, he would be hunted down by the emperor. He was really not confident about being escaping from an Enlightened Master.

That being said, he was not entirely out of ideas.

He thought of a way, which was to let Zhao Dahe or Du Feng assassinate King An, then escape to the Li Dynasty. No matter how furious the emperor would be, he would not follow him to the Li Dynasty.

As long as he could escape to Great Light Peak, there was nothing the emperor could do.

For this to happen, the precondition was that Chu Li’s identity could not be exposed or else the High Duke’s Public House would suffer the consequences too. The people around him would become the emperor’s targets, such that their lives would be in danger.

Of course, he knew that if he became an Enlightened Master, his temperament would be different from ordinary people as he would become more unrestrained. Hence, his friends would be doomed eternally if he was suspected even for a second.

Moreover, even if the emperor could not take action himself due to the restraint from Heaven’s Rule, he could easily give orders, and countless people would do it for him.

Besides, no matter how strong Yi Public House was, they could not defy the emperor’s powers. The emperor could also send people to attack them secretly, and the Public House could only suffer in silence. In fact, he could make it look like people from the martial world were taking revenge, and the Public House would not realize that it was actually the emperor’s doing.

Therefore, if Chu Li were to kill King An secretly which would infuriate the emperor, it was nothing, but he must not let the emperor know that it was him who did it.

In order to do that, he needed to achieve a profound level of attainment in the Scripture of the Heavenly Demon. He had a feeling that he could do it as long as he arrived at such level in the Scripture of the Heavenly Demon.

Nonetheless, while it seemed easy to cultivate the Scripture of the Heavenly Demon, it was terribly hard. Even when he emptied his mind and practiced four scriptures at the same time, it somehow was still distant and unreachable as if the next step could not be seen at all; even if the Scripture of the Heavenly Demon did make progress.

Chu Li did not really think about cultivating the Scripture of the Heavenly Demon all along, but now that he had the Maha-Vairocana’s Immobility Scripture, he was not that

wary against it anymore but did not cultivate it on purpose too. He simply let it advance slowly and just went with the flow.

Currently, he decided to upgrade the Scripture of the Heavenly Demon due to King An’s incident, because based on his present state, an Enlightened Master could easily spot his disguise.

“What are you thinking about?” Xiao Shi asked, “Are you still thinking about beating him up?”

Chu Li smiled. “Are we going to let him be so unrestrained?”

“Depends on how crazy he becomes.” Xiao Shi scoffed. “Being so headstrong, he’ll eventually be doomed. It doesn’t matter if he’s the Royal Highness, nobody in Fairy’s Capital can behave so unscrupulously!”

Chu Li nodded lightly and Xiao Shi knew what he was thinking.

Xiao Qi stated, “Second Eldest Sister, how about you return to the High Duke’s Public House? You can spend time with me here at night.”

“I’ll pass.” Xiao Shi giggled. “I shall not be an annoying person!”

She regarded the love between men and women as nothing and had no desire for it or she would not have married King An.

With death as her company for many years, she became dispassionate about love and had no reservations when talking about such matters. Unlike other women, she was neither reserved nor shy.

Xiao Qi stared at her. “Second Eldest Sister!”

Xiao Shi responded, “You’re both in a honeymoon period now, I’ll be such an eyesore if I stay here, I’ll just stay in the High Duke’s Public House!”

“… That sounds good too.” Chu Li continued, “We won’t have to worry if you just stay there.”

“Honestly, you don’t have to worry at all. Whatever it is, he won’t have the guts to do anything to me!” Xiao Shi reassured.

Chu Li humphed. “Don’t underestimate how shameless King An can be, he’ll do anything to attain his ends. Do you really think that he’ll keep his promise and not return to Tianshu Courtyard forever?”

“Will he break his promise?”

“Of course!” Chu Li continued, “He has been pretending all these while for his final move! So, you must leave before that!”

“Alright, I’ll leave tomorrow.” Xiao Shi nodded.

With that, Chu Li sighed a breath of relief.

Xiao Qi reminded, “You must be careful when you leave too, you must not let him know.”

“Stay here for two days, then return to the High Duke’s Public House right away.” Chu Li suggested.

He was worried that Xiao Shi and they others might be assassinated by King An’s men during their journey if they were to leave straight away.

“Alright, I’ll do as you say.” Xiao Shi agreed.

Since it was late at night, Chu Li did not send her off. Xiao Shi and Xiao Qi slept in the west room and updated each other about their recent situation.

On the evening of the next day, as the sun set, the afterglow painted the courtyard in a beautiful red.

Chu Li was training in the courtyard when knocks were heard on the door.

At that moment, Xiao Qi and Xiao Shi were talking in the gazebo. When they heard the knocks, they looked at Chu Li.

Chu Li smiled and waved his hands, then went to open the door.

Fa Yuan was seen standing calmly outside in a grey monk robe, where he then greeted with his palms placed together. “Brother Chu.”

“Fa Yuan, let’s step outside.”

“Please-”

Subsequently, the two of them left the residence and arrived on a small boat by the lake.

The small boat sailed toward the center, then swayed according to the moving waters.

Fa Yuan stood at one end of the boat and bore an unearthly elegance as his grey robe fluttered in the wind. He asked, “Brother Chu, why did you call me here?”

On the other end of the boat, Chu Li sighed. “King Wang practiced a new divine technique, what is it?”

Fa Yuan replied with a smile. “Great Compassion Divine Technique.”

“Is that from Tempest Temple?” Chu Li asked.

Fa Yuan nodded. “His Highness King An has such an exceptional comprehension that he was able to comprehend this divine technique, and somehow cultivated it. He’s truly a genius.”

“Hmph, what exactly is Tempest Temple going to do!” Chu Li questioned.

Fa Yuan only shook his head as he smiled.

Chu Li asked again, “Are you guys trying to get rid of me through him?”

Fa Yuan laughed. “Brother Chu, what are you thinking!”

Chu Li rejoined. “The people from Tempest Temple love to stir up trouble!”

“Uh…” Fa Yuan sighed. In actual fact, he did not understand the temple’s way of doing things too, but could only obey any orders since he was a disciple from the temple.

As the small boat swayed lightly again, it went further away from Chu Li’s residence.

Some moments later, Chu Li asked, “It the Great Compassion Divine Technique very powerful?”

Fa Yuan nodded. “It’s a martial art that comes with instant comprehension if comprehended. Once corresponded with one’s inner state, one will advance astoundingly, but there’s one downside to it, which is that one will find it tough to advance further than that. That being said, one would’ve already achieved quite an impressive cultivation level already. Brother Chu, none of us is His Highness King An’s opponent.”

Chu Li furrowed his brows.
