The next morning, Chu Li was still asleep. He did not sleep well due to his weak body, which was the condition of having his martial arts crippled. In addition, Chu Li’s face was pale, and he just wanted to stay in bed.
A knock was heard on the door, followed by Lu Zhengjun’s voice. “We should depart now!”
“Mm,” Chu Li replied plainly, then got out of bed to get dressed.
Chu Li did not hate Lu Zhengjun deeply even though he was the one who negated his martial arts. On the other hand, Chu Li killed Lu Guangdi without any hesitation.
Previously, Chu Li kept Lu Guangdi alive back to Tide-listening Pavilion to observe his speech and demeanor as Chu Li was afraid of giving himself away when he faced Lu Zhengjun. While his Heavenly Demonic Power was powerful, he could not be too negligent. After all, Lu Zhengjun was not someone to be treated lightly.
After watching Lu Guangdi in secret for several days, Chu Li grasped his behavior very well. Fortunately, Lu Zhengjun seldom spent time with his son, so he did not understand his son very well.
Since that was the case, it would only be a disaster to keep Lu Guangdi alive as he was no longer useful. Therefore, Chu Li decided to kill him, then buried him where nobody would know.
By the time Chu Li got dressed and left his room, Lu Zhengjun was already waiting outside. He frowned at Chu Li.
Lu Zhengjun had a feeling that something was different about his son.
It was just a vague feeling that could not be described. Even though Chu Li’s speech and demeanor were exactly the same as Lu Guangdi’s, it was only because Chu Li did a thorough observation, but was unable to fully deceive a top-notch master like Lu Zhengjun.
Chu Li was slightly concerned. Subsequently, he calmed himself down, then spoke impatiently, “Why are we leaving so early? We’re not in a hurry anyway!”
Lu Zhengjun replied, “It’s best to set out as soon as possible.”
“Hmph!” Chu Li sneered. “You can’t wait to see your children?”
Lu Zhengjun responded snappily, “Stay away from them if you want to stay in Green Deer Cliff comfortably!”
“Ask them to stay away from me then!” Chu Li was annoyed. “If they provoke me, I won’t go easy on them!”
“You’ll suffer then.” Lu Zhengjun shook his head. “Don’t worry, they can’t be bothered about you, they’re very occupied. Do you need breakfast?”
“I’d like to say goodbye to Master, Master’s juniors, and Master’s seniors.”
“Don’t be so troublesome, it’s not like you’re not coming back. You’ll come back in less than a year’s time!”
“I should still inform them.”
“Let’s just go!” Lu Zhengjun was already out of patience. He grabbed Chu Li by the shoulder forcefully even though Chu Li struggled and screamed, then left Tide-listening Pavilion. Before long, they were already thirty miles away from the pavilion.
In the end, Chu Li stopped resisting. He shut his eyes without saying a word.
Lu Zhengjun was unconcerned. He spoke gently, “Chu Li’s martial arts is truly exquisite. If you don’t cultivate properly, you won’t beat him.”
“His martial arts is crippled now,” Chu Li replied grumpily.
Lu Zhengjun commented, “What if he recovers? He’s a genius in cultivation! … If you don’t want to be defeated again, cultivate properly!”
“I know, stop nagging!” Chu Li responded coldly.
Lu Zhengjun shook his head but did not blame him. They continued their journey.
He was extremely fast as if he had endless inner energy.
Green Deer Cliff’s location was a mystery all along. Chu Li did not expect it to be situated on an island in the center of the sea. Without Lu Zhengjun, nobody could find the way to the cliff.
Later, Lu Zhengjun found a small boat, where they traveled in regardless of the stormy weather. After a whole day, they arrived on the island.
The island appeared like a giant turtle floating on the sea. The ocean around it was vast, and the island itself was green and vibrant. Chu Li could already feel the rich spiritual energy it contained even from a distance away.
Although the spiritual energy was nothing like the ones on Hundred-Thousand Hills, it was more abundant than the outside world. Besides, this was what Chu Li sensed from a distance away. Undoubtedly, the spiritual energy was richer on the island.
When Lu Zhengjun steered the small boat toward the island, he crashed it straight into a towering reef. Their view changed instantly to another position on the island, where they appeared on the west side instead of the east.
Chu Li smiled. Evidently, it was the power of their formation.
Nonetheless, he did not make a fuss out of it. It was reasonable for the four major sects to protect themselves with formations.
Subsequently, Lu Zhengjun increased the boat’s speed toward the east side. Only when they were nearer, Chu Li realized that it was a stone island so empty that everything on it could be seen at one glance.
Chu Li knew that the island was still under a formation for camouflage.
A brief moment later, they passed through two reefs. Danger after danger, the view changed again.
A green island that was full of life appeared again but was ten times greater than the previous island. Due to the numerous pagodas and pavilions with carved beams and painted pillars on the island, it looked like it was rich in vintage style. At the easternmost point on the island, a cliff stood tall like a sword pointed diagonally at the sky.
Far away, silk and bamboo music could be heard with the wind. It was so pleasant to the ear that it freed one from troubles, making one feel at peace.
Chu Li was in awe. The island was actually enveloped in a thin layer of golden light.
He was very familiar with the golden light as he experienced it at Titanium Temple. Within the golden light, all divine powers were ineffective!
Lu Zhengjun told Chu Li, “Don’t talk too much when you’re on the island.”
“Mm,” Chu Li responded while looking at the huge island blankly.
Lu Zhengjun chuckled upon seeing his face. Clearly, Chu Li had not seen much of the world. Though Tide-listening Pavilion was a quiet place, it was not suitable for young people. With little knowledge of the world, it was inevitable that one had a limited vision.
Eventually, their small boat stopped by the pier. After walking for roughly a hundred meters into the island, it felt as warm as spring.
They were welcomed by two attractive young men in green robes who greeted Lu Zhengjun upon seeing him, “Master’s Junior Lu.”
“Mm, this is my son who was stranded outside, Lu Guangdi,” Lu Zhengjun introduced. “His martial arts was crippled, so I intend to rebuild his foundation at Green Deer Cliff for him to cultivate again.”
“Yes, please come with us,” The two attractive young men said respectfully. They led the father and son to the main hall.
The main hall was empty.
One of the young men sounded a jade stone on the side. Soon enough, footsteps were heard as four middle-aged men arrived. They were stunned when they saw Lu Zhengjun. A round-faced middle-aged man said with a smile, “Junior Brother Lu, you’re…?”
“I brought my son to the island.” Lu Zhengjun scoffed.
All four middle-aged men looked at Chu Li and looked confused. “He looks talented, why was his martial arts crippled?”
“Did you cripple him on purpose to bring him to the island, Junior Brother Lu?”
“No.” Lu Zhengjun was irritated. “Someone else did it!”
“Oh, who’s so bold to provoke him?”
“Chu Li.”
“Ah, that fella!” The round-faced middle-aged man giggled. “He’s very famous now. This looks like a cycle to me, the exact same situation that happened to you before, Junior Brother Lu. I wonder if it’ll end the same way?”
Lu Zhengjun’s face darkened.
The other three middle-aged men stared at the round-faced middle-aged man.
Lu Zhengjun uttered, “Based on Tempest Temple’s power, Chu Li won’t experience a different ending. Besides, I crippled him of his martial arts!”
“Hehe, you’re quite merciless, Junior Brother Lu.” The round-faced middle-aged man laughed.
Lu Zhengjun glared at him. “Senior Brother Chen, let’s just get straight to business!”
