“Let’s go. We can return to the sect once we’ve cut his head off.” The short elderly man shook his head and said, “I can’t believe that we wasted ten days because of him.”

“We have to deal with the Flaming Sun Sect properly this time.” The tall elderly man scoffed. “The Flaming Sun Sect is constantly getting up to little tricks. They’ll take advantage of us if we don’t teach them a lesson. They should know their place.”

The pair walked under a tree while they were speaking. Another tiger silhouette appeared before it pounced on Chu Li and shook Chu Li out of the large tree. A loud bang echoed as the man painfully fell on the ground. Chu Li remained completely frozen.

The two elders meticulously carried out their tasks. The elders only let their guard down and approached Chu Li when they were certain that Chu Li was dead.

The short elderly man turned Chu Li’s body over so that Chu Li was facing upward.

“This brat was good at everything, but he lacked good looks.” The tall elderly man shook his head and replied, “No wonder Zhao Dahe was sent here to die. He wasn’t attractive enough.”

“The Holy Church of Light is led by a woman. It’s inevitable that she would favor the handsome disciples over the rest. That ugly young man would have had a bleak future. It was better for Zhao Dahe to free himself from his destiny by dying earlier,” the short elderly man said. He shook his head and smiled. The two elders were more talkative now because they were in a good mood.

“Ahh!” Chu Li suddenly opened his mouth and yelled. Chu Li’s shout was as loud as thunder.

The two elders were shocked. They looked lost as their minds were simply blank now.

When the elders reacted, they felt an intense pain in one of their eyes. This sensation was quickly followed by a splitting headache. The two men thought that their skulls had cracked open. A violent force tore through the elders’ heads and nearly turned their brains into piles of mush.

The two elders hurriedly opened their other eye. Their mouths slowly gaped open when they saw that Chu Li’s eyes were opened while a smirk was plastered on his face.

“Ahh!” Chu Li shrieked again.

The two elderly men were stunned. Their second eye was immediately struck by an unbearable pain before the men’s vision was engulfed by unending darkness. The men weakly collapsed as the darkness had fully overwhelmed them.

Chu Li turned himself over and sat up. He hurriedly removed the two men’s black clothes.

The fabric was soft. These clothes seemed weightless as they were much lighter than normal garments. Nonetheless, these clothes were still slightly thicker than the floating silkworm treasured clothing that Chu Li was wearing.

The two elders’ blood had splattered on their black clothes, but the bloodstains vanished when Chu Li shook the garments lightly.

He smiled and patted his own chest.

Chu Li would have died if he was not wearing the floating silkworm treasured clothing this time. The circ.u.mstances were entirely different when he had that treasured clothing. Chu Li intentionally endured the White Tiger Skill’s attacks several times and pretended to be dead to trick the two elders. Chu Li used the Nature Restoration Manifestation and Omniscient Mirror to retaliate at a precise moment. Chu Li managed to kill his enemies in one go because he caught them by surprise.

It was almost impossible for the two elders to escape when Chu Li used the Omniscient Mirror and the Nature Restoration Manifestation. Chu Li would not be able to capture his opponents so easily without those two antique studies. After all, the two elders were wise and accurate veterans who were also very experienced.

Chu Li’s chest faintly hurt when he took a deep breath. Chu Li suffered slight injuries despite wearing the floating silkworm treasured clothing. These clothes could not block the two elders’ attacks entirely because the elders were too skillful and the White Tiger Killing Skill’s destructive force was terrifying.

…

A faint gleam was reflected from the bright moon that hung high in the night sky.

The clouds beside the dazzling moon resembled a thin veil that gently swept past as the wind blew.

The rooftop of Nine Star Tower in the middle of Gale City was flat and s.p.a.cious. The rooftop was decorated like a little garden that included rockery and a pavilion. Nine Star Tower certainly lived up to its reputation as the best restaurant in Gale City.

Four people sat around a table while they held silver cups and admired the moon. These people looked relaxed and carefree.

Zhou Ninghe, Fu Yu, and Bai Feng were present. A square-faced, soldierly, and handsome middle-aged man was also there. This man was Zhang Junrui, an Elder from the Flaming Sun Sect. In terms of his position, Zhang Junrui was on equal rank with Zhou Ninghe and Fu Yu.

“Zhang Junrui, why is the Flaming Sun Sect sticking their nose where it doesn’t belong?” Bai Feng lazily swirled the alcohol in her silver gla.s.s while she gently inhaled the rich aroma. “You impatiently rushed over just as you heard the news. What are you doing?”

“Miss Bai, didn’t you rush over here as well?” Zhang Junrui smiled.

Bai Feng replied, “I happened to be present at the right time. Unlike you, I was already here. Were you trying to take advantage of someone else during this dangerous period?”

“Haha. Why are you slandering me, Miss Bai? We’re not enemies.” Zhang Junrui smirked while shaking his head.

“Why exactly did Pang Jinshui die because of Zhao Dahe and Tan Hu then?” Bai Feng curled her beautiful red lips in disdain before she said, “You don’t have to tell me other things, but why was he even there?”

“We’ve already explained everything clearly to Brother Zhou and Brother Fu. There’s no need for us to tell you.” Zhang Junrui smiled and said, “However, I’ve never seen you fight, Miss Bai. I find that very odd.”

“Hmph, who says I can’t fight?” Bai Feng grumbled like a spoiled child. “I realized that I couldn’t defeat Zhao Dahe when we fought. I decided not to pursue that matter because I’m a tactful person.”

“How wise, Miss Bai.” Zhou Ninghe playfully smirked. “You were aware of the severity of the situation.”

“I don’t owe the White Tiger Sect anything!” Bai Feng glanced scornfully at Zhou Ninghe through the corner of her eye. “Don’t insult me by giving me these backhanded compliments.”

“Haha, you’re right.” Zhou Ninghe nodded and smiled. “Miss Bai, you certainly did the right thing as a member of the Tian Luo Sect. You managed to evade a disaster by knowing when to retreat and a.s.sess the situation. The Tian Luo Sect would definitely have suffered great losses if you had truly enraged Zhao Dahe.”

“Don’t try and provoke me!” Bai Feng huffed. “Was it wrong for us to fear him? What else could a group of weak women do?”

Zhou Ninghe and the other two men shook their heads.

Bai Feng would speak this way and act pitifully when she encountered an obstacle. On the contrary, she was self-a.s.sured and bolder than any man when she gained the upper hand. Bai Feng would even be fiercer than the men during those moments.

“Is the Flaming Sun Sect going to attack Zhao Dahe too?” Bai Feng’s scornful gaze s.h.i.+fted toward Zhang Junrui. “What rewards have the White Tiger Sect promised you?”

“Nothing.” Zhang Junrui shook his head and said, “We need to help each other because the Holy Church of Light is the common enemy of our three sects. If one of us falls, the rest will be endangered. I must help the White Tiger Sect now. Otherwise, who will help the Flaming Sun Sect when we’re facing trouble in the future?”

“You sound so convincing!” Bai Feng disdainfully spat.

The Flaming Sun Sect would never do something that did not benefit them.

Zhou Ninghe smirked and replied, “Brother Zhang has promised to hunt Zhao Dahe down with us. Miss Bai, what about you?”

Bai Feng scoffed. “I’ve personally encountered Zhao Dahe before. Wouldn’t it be terrible if something unfortunate happened to me? I’ll help you, but you must give me a set of White Tiger Armor!”

“We only have four sets of White Tiger Armor.” Zhou Ninghe shook his head and responded, “Unfortunately, there are none left because all of the armor has been worn this time. Otherwise, we would definitely lend Miss Bai and Brother Zhang a set of armor each.”

“Are there four of you altogether?” Bai Feng frowned as she asked.

Zhou Ninghe nodded. “Yes, Brother Fu and I came with He Jingchuan and his brother He Jingjiang.”

“Why do you still need us?” Bai Feng huffed. “There’s nothing left for me to say if the four of you can’t defeat Zhao Dahe together. Frankly, you should just surrender and pretend that this never happened. We should all just mind our own business!”

“Every person makes us stronger. I can a.s.sure you that there won’t be any accidents.” Zhang Junrui beamed and answered, “It won’t be burdensome for us because we can rely on our martial arts.”

“Whatever, you can fool around, but I’m not going to partic.i.p.ate in your crazy plots.” Bai Feng waved her pale hand. “I can’t dodge his Light Blade without the White Tiger Armor!”

Zhang Junrui shook his head and laughed.

Bai Feng cast a sidelong glance at Zhang Junrui before she scoffed. “Is it true that the Flaming Sun Sect has the Ardent Sun Armor?”

Zhang Junrui smiled and nodded. “Indeed.”

Bai Feng rolled her eyes at him. “I’m the only one without a precious set of armor. It seems like you’re trying to endanger me on purpose!”

Zhou Ninghe and Fu Yu were about to speak but their expressions suddenly changed before they looked at each other.

Bai Feng asked, “What’s wrong?”

Zhou Ninghe frowned and replied, “Something happened to the He Brothers. Let’s go!”

Zhou Ninghe turned around and immediately leaped into the void before he fluttered away.

The group was currently four stories above ground. The distance between them and the ground was almost forty meters.

Fu Yu said, “The He Brothers are dead!”

Zhang Junrui glanced at Bai Feng before he smiled and said, “Miss Bai, aren’t you going to have a look?”

“Of course I’m going!” Bai Feng spat.

The pair fluttered away while closely trailing behind Zhou Ninghe and Fu Yu.
