Chapter 893: Leave

“Senior sister, quick, let’s go!” Chu Li uttered.

By then, his inner energy was all gone. With his Dantian empty, it had caused weakness to gain control over him.

‘I can’t believe that the floating silkworm treasured clothing couldn’t stop Thin Elder’s sword. My luck is terrible today!’ Chu Li thought to himself.

As if her eyes gave out an electric signal, Li Ruolan used her eyes to move a wooden plank to the water surface, forming a silver wire. In the blink of an eye, they vanished far away.

When the two elders who were underwater watched them leave, they did not chase after them immediately. Instead, the two elders began their chase only when Chu Li and Li Ruolan crossed the river. When they removed their black clothing, they looked extremely thrilled.

Now that they had gotten rid of their biggest worry and were free from being threatened by the Light Blade, they no longer needed the treasured clothing.

As soon as they arrived on land, Chu Li said, “Senior sister, withdraw your secret technique!”

“I can’t.” Li Ruolan shook her head. “If I withdraw it, they’ll chase after us!”

Chu Li responded, “It’s alright, I’ll deal with them!”

Li Ruolan lowered her head to look at him before she shook her head softly.

Her eyes were as cold as ice, but it was as if a ball of flame was burning inside each one.

Not only did the Secret Technique of Great Light caused a sudden escalate in her skill, but it had also changed her temperament, such that she became cold and heartless. It had suppressed her emotions, only leaving her the rationality to weigh her interests so that she could make the best decision.

According to her calculations, it was best that she activated her secret technique for them to enter Li Dynasty’s border as soon as possible.

Once they crossed the wide river, it would only take them an hour to arrive at Li Dynasty, and as long as they arrive there, they were safe.

Chu Li reminded her helplessly, “Senior sister, don’t forget, I have the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture!”

“Your martial art has been crippled!” Li Ruolan replied.

Chu Li answered her snappily, “Quick, stop your secret technique, I’ll handle it!”

Li Ruolan glanced at him.

Chu Li had a determined look on his face as he stared at her seriously.

With that, Li Ruolan could only agree to him in the end and withdrew her secret technique.

Instantly, their speed reduced significantly. Coincidentally, at that moment, they were situated beside a forest.

Chu Li mentioned, “Senior sister, let’s take a rest here. I need to heal.”

He retrieved a few bottles of pills from his chest, then shook his head as he sighed. “The spirit pills from Elder Zhou really came in handy!”

He consumed two of the pills which were both top-grade vulneraries.

“It won’t be too late for you to heal once we return to Li Dynasty.” Li Ruolan was restless, she continued, “The thing is, we must return as fast as we can. Once we’re back, they won’t dare to chase after us anymore!”

Chu Li shook his head, then sneered. “We can’t let them off lightly! I should be blamed for sparing him just now. Had I end him right away, we won’t have to face this trouble now. This is what I get for being too merciful!”

A person’s heart could change easily. Earlier when he came to terms with Thin Elder, it was true that Thin Elder did not have murderous intent. However, this time, he absolutely had the intention to kill them. If he knew about this sooner, he would have at least crippled him of his martial art.

Li Ruolan furrowed her brows. “The fella who injured you was the one you encountered earlier, right?”

Chu Li nodded.

Li Ruolan added, “Junior brother, you must feel very wronged.”

Upon hearing her, Chu Li snorted and cast her a sidelong glance.

Even as Li Ruolan was tensed up as she knew that the situation was not in their favor and that they would likely fall short of success, she could not refrain from smiling when she looked at him.

Chu Li instructed, “Senior sister, stop!”

“...Uhh, alright.” Feeling helpless, Li Ruolan stopped moving.

“Let’s go into the forest to look for a spot to heal,” Chu Li said.

“What’s the point of healing now?” Li Ruolan refused. “It’s impossible for you to regain your martial art.”

Chu Li answered disdainfully, “Don’t worry, I’ll kill them later!”

“Junior brother, it’s funny you have that thought!” Li Ruolan pursed her lips and chuckled. “You’re so boastful!”

Chu Li replied, “Senior sister, you don’t understand the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture, do you?”

Li Ruolan responded by shaking her head. “As powerful as it can be, it’s impossible for you to regain your martial art right away. Qin Huaichuan only regained his martial art after more than half a month, and that’s quite terrifying too!”

“I’m not going to regain my martial art.” Chu Li added, “Senior sister, I’ll show you the other magical effect of Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture later.”

“What magical effect?” Li Ruolan was curious.

While the two conversed as they walked into the forest, with Li Ruolan holding Chu Li by his waist, they noticed a post-house.

“Over there.” Chu Li pointed at the post-house.

When the two of them entered the post-house, Chu Li immediately sat on the stone table. He folded his legs and did a mudra without moving an inch as if he was meditating like a monk.

“What exactly is the magical effect?” Li Ruolan was eager to know.

Chu Li shut his eyes. “Conversion of the real and unreal, utilizing the false to do what’s true. Later, I’ll utilize your inner energy to beat them up!”

“How can you channel inner energy if your Dantian’s ruined?” Li Ruolan frowned.

To which, Chu Li replied, “This is the magical effect of the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture. Senior sister, just believe in me and lure them here!”

“...Alright.” Seeing as he was unwilling to reveal much, Li Ruolan no longer disturbed him. She began channeling to revitalize as she had consumed enormous energy even though she had only used the Secret Technique of Great Light for a short amount of time.

At once, everything fell silent around them, except the sound of chirping birds.

Now dressed in green, the two elders slowly approached them. Nonetheless, when they saw Chu Li and Li Ruolan in the post-house, then paused and hesitated.

“Junior Brother Liu, this is the perfect chance to make a move,” fat and muscular Elder urged.

On the other hand, Thin Elder disagreed. “Senior Brother Zheng, something’s off. They should be making an escape now, yet they stopped. It seems like they’re luring us over, they must be playing some tricks!”

“Junior Brother Liu, you’re becoming more cowardly.” Fat and muscular Elder turned to glare at him. “One of them has just been crippled of his martial art, while the other has just used a secret technique. What schemes can they have? The most threatening fella has been destroyed, which means the girl is the only one left. If the two of us can’t even take them down, she must be the Saint of the Holy Church of Light!”

“...That’s true.” Thin Elder knit his brows together, but he eventually agreed.

That being said, he still had a bad feeling about this. “But I can just feel that there’s danger ahead, we should keep a distance away. Let’s just wait for a while.”

“Wait for a while? If they enter Li Dynasty’s border, it won’t be easy to get them anymore.” Fat and muscular Elder was unhappy with the idea. “Who knows if they have help!”

“Then let’s just wait until they move,” Thin Elder insisted.

Fat and muscular Elder stared at him.

Thin Elder explained, “Senior Brother Zheng, trust my instinct. They must be plotting something, my instinct is telling me not to get near them.”

“What if they’re, in fact, cultivating to heal themselves? Are we just going to wait?” Fat and muscular Elder asserted, “Why not we just return now? We might as well call this off!”

Thin Elder pondered for a moment. Then, he nodded his head. “This is the best plan. It’s best that we leave now, they’re extremely dangerous!”

“Junior Brother Liu.” Fat and muscular Elder felt helpless. “If he’s the Priest, nobody will say a thing if we leave now, but he’s merely a nobody. He killed our disciple! If we don’t teach him a lesson now, that’ll be a shame on us.”

“He isn’t a nobody,” Thin Elder scoffed. “Junior Brother Zheng, it’s not like you haven’t seen his Light Blade!”

“I have, but the rest haven’t,” Fat and muscular Elder replied.

“No matter what, I trust my instinct.” Thin Elder stood firm to his decision. He turned around and left.

“Junior Brother Liu!” Fat and muscular Elder did not expect him to leave, yet Thin Elder simply left without turning back.
