Chu Li and Li Ruolan fluttered in the air.

“I heard that you were very impressive at the martial arts field. You challenged all the disciples, and no one was able to beat you?” As if riding on the wind, Li Ruolan’s movement was light and graceful. She continued to ask casually, “Didn’t it cross your mind that your actions would only make yourself a common enemy to the others?”

Chu Li was unbothered. “What’s the matter with that? I’m the strongest anyway, I’ll settle whoever that tries to go against me!”

“You...” Li Ruolan shook his head. “You really can’t stand living a day without causing any trouble. Now that you’ve embarrassed all of them, who will stick with you?”

“I can’t be bothered to be with them. They’re a bunch of weaklings,” Chu Li scoffed. “Besides, why didn’t the people at the torture chamber teach Qin Huaichuan a lesson? He’s a vicious fella. If I’m the from the torture chamber, I would’ve taken him down long ago — cripple him of his martial art, lest he harm anyone else!”

“Although Qin Huaishuan can be quite ruthless, it’s all petty tricks.” Li Ruolan shook her head and continued, “The Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture he practices is quite cryptic, such that he’s able to exert force by means of leverage. The palm energy that he hurt his Dantian with is yours.”

Chu Li raised his brows before he slowly nodded his head.

He had also figured out a part of the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture’s mystery. Shifting inner energy was not difficult because one could store another’s palm energy in one’s body, then exert it as one’s own. However, it looked exactly the same as the other person’s palm energy.

Since Qin Huaishuan had the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture, there was no doubt that he was able to do that seamlessly.

Indeed, Chu Li hit his Dantian with his palm, but nobody could conclude if he actually exerted his inner energy. In the end, Qin Huaishuan damaged Dantian was damaged and the palm energy belonged to Chu Li. No matter the investigation on the case, no flaws were found. Thus, the torture chamber was unable to rid him of suspicion.

Nevertheless, those tricks were ineffective to the Saint.

While the two of them conversed, Chu Li realized that Li Ruolan knew him inside out. It was evident that she had been watching him.

“The Saint knows about you too. She mentioned that you need to experience some setbacks because a smooth-sailing journey is not good!” Li Ruolan shook her head slightly. “Besides, she also said that there’s no point for you to stay in the Sutra Library because the most important thing is that you cultivate the Divine Light Technique.”

Chu Li nodded.

After a whole day’s journey, they both arrived at Qiu Dynasty’s border.

Qiu Dynasty’s border was not much different from Li Dynasty, by which the cultures were somewhat the same. As such, it was almost indistinguishable that both are different countries.

Through the spies of the Holy Church of Light, Li Ruolan already knew Zhao Haiyun’s whereabouts. The two of them kept moving forward before they finally stopped outside a bustling city in the evening. The words ‘Wu City’ could be seen outside, and the city was flooded with endless streams of people and horse carriages. It seemed extremely lively.

“Senior sister, is he still here now?” Chu Li shook his head. “He probably moved long ago, didn’t he?”

“He won’t.” Li Ruolan replied, “He thinks that by escaping to Qiu Dynasty, we won’t dare to take actions on him!”

Chu Li was puzzled. “Is he from Qiu Dynasty?”

“Even if he is, we must kill him!” Li Ruolan’s face turned dark as she commented coldly, “He has committed far too many sins!”

Chu Li nodded. “But if he’s from Qiu Dynasty, could he be connected to Qiu Dynasty’s martial arts world?”

“We’ll talk about it when we meet.” Li Ruolan added, “Regardless, we must kill him!”

Chu Li nodded his head again slowly.

Eventually, the two of them entered the city and they arrived at a restaurant, where they headed straight to the third floor.

At that moment, the third floor was bustling with noise. One person was seen sitting in the middle while the rest surrounded him as they listened to him.

“According to what I know, Qiu Dynasty is making a move to teach Li Dynasty a lesson and show them our cavalry!” The elder had a round head with neat silver hair that glimmered. He also had red cheeks, which was an obvious sign that he was good at maintaining health.

“Elder Luo, can Qiu Dynasty really defeat Li Dynasty?” One middle-aged man asked as he frowned. “I heard that Li Dynasty’s national power has been rising and they have the Holy Church of Light, which seems to have acquired the full Scripture of Great Light. With this, their prestige is currently unexcelled!”

“They may have the Holy Church of Light, but we have the Reincarnation Temple and Hai Cang Mountain!” Elder Luo smiled as he stroked his silver beard. “If both parties were well-matched, neither could do anything to the other. However, our dynasty’s cavalry is one of its kind and is unstoppable, Li Dynasty will have to learn from us. This time, it’ll be like a master teaching his disciple a lesson!”

“A master teaching his disciple a lesson!” Everyone burst out laughing.

Li Ruolan glanced at them but was unbothered. She sat down in front of a table.

The people there took a look at them but quickly looked away.

Since Li Ruolan had a white veil that covered her face, they could not tell that she was a beauty. As for Chu Li, they did not want to land their eyes on him anymore since he was ugly.

Later, Li Ruolan signaled Chu Li to look somewhere.

Following her gaze, Chu Li found himself looking at a middle-aged man.

Due to his ordinary looks, he hardly stood out in the crowd. Besides, his eyes looked empty as if he had consumed too much alcohol. He did not look like he practiced martial arts.

Chu Li furrowed his brows before he lowered his head to ask, “He can disguise his martial art?”

Li Quolan nodded lightly.

Elder Luo continued to speak, “This is also called slaughtering a fat sheep. You feed the sheep first and slaughter it later — it’ll be tastier that way. All these years, Qiu Dynasty hasn’t been bothered about Li Dynasty, which made them think that we’re scared of them. Now, we’ll teach them a great lesson which we’ll definitely benefit from!”

“Li Dynasty is rich in gold. If we acquire all of that, it’ll be awesome. Those who go into war will become extremely wealthy too!” the others exclaimed.

Chu Li shook his head and frowned as he felt the arrogance and greed of the people from the Qiu Dynasty. He wondered, ‘How dare they treat Li Dynasty as a fat sheep. Li Dynasty’s cavalry is not ordinary at all, they’ve got high-sounding sentiments to brag about!’

Afterward, Li Ruo whispered to him, “Qiu Dynasty’s cavalry is truly outstanding.”

Chu Li asked, “Is it really stronger than Li Dynasty’s?”

“It’s hard to say.” Li Ruolan continued, “200 years ago, it was Qiu Dynasty’s cavalries who helped train their soldiers. Back then, the two countries joined forces to go against Fu Dynasty.”

Chu Li looked sullen.

“But Li Dynasty is no longer the same as it has been, it might not actually be weaker than Qiu Dynasty,” Li Ruolan added.

Chu Li suggested, “Let’s not care about that. How about we kill this fella first?”

“We’ll have to ask first.” Li Ruolan said, “It’s not too late to act after asking, what if it’s the wrong person?”

Right after she said that, she went to sit in front of that middle-aged man. “Excuse me, sir.”

On the other hand, Chu Li knew that that man was indeed Zhao Haiyun. He had top-notch martial art, which was no wonder he had managed to flee. His cultivation level and light-body technique were over the top. Zhao Haiyun held his glass tightly, and he had a gloomy look on his face as he kept thinking about how he could take revenge. He was planning to return to Li Dynasty a month later so that he could exterminate the factions that were hunting him down to kill him.

Upon seeing Li Ruolan, Zhao Haiyun glanced at her. He then uttered coldly, “I don’t have the energy for this.”

“I wonder, sir, what’s your name?” Li Ruolan continued to ask gently, “Which faction are you from?”

“Please go away, or I won’t go easy on you!” Zhao Haiyun scorned.

Despite that, Li Ruolan smiled sweetly. “Sir, why are you pushing me away? I see that your forehead is dark and that you’ll experience a bloody disaster. It’s best that you be careful.”

Instantly, Zhao Haiyun glared at Li Ruolan. He frowned. “Who exactly are you?”

“I’ll have to ask, which faction are you from, sir?” Li Ruolan chuckled and shook her head. “Are you from Li Dynasty?”

“Hmph!” Zhao Haiyun replied coldly, “Nonsense!”

Li Ruolan continued to ask, “From Sky-Crossing Camp?”

“Who the h*ll are you!” Zhao Haiyun roared.

Li Ruolan answered plainly, “I’m here to take your life, Zhao Haiyun!”

“A master from Li Dynasty’s martial arts world!” Zhao Haiyun laughed. “How dare you, this is Qiu Dynasty. I’m from here!”

“Zhao Haiyun, you’ve committed all kinds of evil and you deserve to die! Did you think that you’ll be free of worries just by escaping to Qiu Dynasty?” Li Ruolan snorted. “Today is the day you die!”

Subsequently, she pulled her sword out from her scabbard.

“Tss, tss, tss, tss!” Four whistling sounds were heard as she wielded her sword at Zhao Haiyun.
