Chu Li and Lu Yurong moved to the back while Xiao Shi accompanied Consort Lu and the others to carry on their journey.
Leng Ying and Leng Qiu turned back to look at the both of them from time to time, their curious gazes lingering. They felt like there was something going on between the two of them.
"Tell me, what's on your mind?" Lu Yurong kept her smile hidden and looked at Chu Li coldly. "I don't see there's a lot to talk about between us!"
The partnership between the two had ended. Even if they both held themselves back and avoided starting a fight, that would not mean that they have become friends. They were just using each other to their own advantage while being very cautious of the other party.
"Do you know that King An is practicing Isolated Cultivation?" Chu Li asked.
"Isolated Cultivation?" Lu Yurong frowned. A glint flickered in her eyes. "What's the purpose?"
"What can it be for? I guess it's for practicing his skills," Chu Li said.
"He is trying to recover?" Lu Yurong asked, frowning still. "It is not easy to get rid of my inner energy!"
Chu Li disagreed. "Miss Lu, you are too conceited. He has recovered from the injury a long time ago. Now he is trying to improve himself through Isolated Cultivation, and it's to kill us all!"
"Impossible!" Lu Yurong scoffed.
"He has already begun the training for the Asura's Power Technique. With your profound knowledge, you must have heard of it before," Chu Li said.
"The Asura's Power Technique…" Lu Yurong murmured.
"The Asura's Power Technique has been secretly passed down by the Tempest Temple for generations. It's an extremely devastating technique," Chu Li said.
"I remember now!" Lu Yurong's expression changed. "How did he acquire it? Is it from the imperial court?"
"Regardless of where he got it from, his cultivation level has improved tremendously, and your inner energy has long since been eradicated!" Chu Li replied.
"The progress for mastering the Asura's Power Technique is a quick one, and as long as the urge to kill is suppressed, he will be able to wield immense power." Lu Yurong spared him a glance. "You didn't try to stop him?"
"I can't." Chu Li sighed. "I am lucky to be able to escape from him alive! He is cultivating in isolation to kill me. The day he comes out of isolation will be the death of me!"
"Then you are in danger!" Lu Yurong gave an awkward smile.
"Do you think he will just let you be? It's your turn to die after he kills me! I don't really care if I die or live, but I know that he won't let you die a peaceful death. Even King Jing can't save you then!" Chu Li replied.
"You are underestimating King Jing!"
"I spoke with the monks from the Tempest Temple about this. The Asura's Power Technique is feared by those at the temple. Once someone has mastered it, he is unstoppable," Chu Li continued. "Even enlightened masters will have a hard time killing him."
"Seems like you have a lot of connections," Lu Yurong mocked. "How did you manage to get so friendly with the temple? I thought they have a bounty on you?"
"My best trait is the ability to work with my enemies." Chu Li smiled. "Just like the both of us. Although we are enemies, that doesn't stop us from teaming up."
"Hmph!" Lu Yurong stared icily at him. "You want to partner with me to go against King An?"
Chu Li shook his head. "Only those from the Tempest Temple can stop him."
Lu Yurong grimaced and nodded in agreement.
With her intelligence, it was easy to understand his concerns.
The Emperor, who was also an enlightened master, will never let anyone harm his son, even after he had managed to self-cultivate the Asura's Power Technique.
If both of them successfully killed King An, they would not live for long as well.
Those masters in the temple will be able to fend off the Emperor. Thus, the help from the temple is needed to annihilate King An.
"What's the point of telling me then?" Lu Yurong asked.
Chu Li smiled.
"Don't act so secretive, speak!"
"Do I really need to say it out loud?" Chu Li asked.
"How would I know if you don't say it?" Lu Yurong was getting impatient. "If you're not planning to say it then it's fine. I'll be on my way!"
"I know Miss Lu has a connection with those in the Tempest Temple." Chu Li said.
Lu Yurong raised her eyebrows and glared at Chu Li with dissatisfaction.
Chu Li flashed a quick smile and continued, "If only Miss Lu can help me to get in contact with your connections and give them a push so that they can take actions immediately. The Tempest Temple is a large organization involved in a myriad of matters. It's not surprising that they take a long time to get things done. If you don't give them a push, they will only decide to take actions after King An came out from isolation."
"No one can interfere with the temple's order!" Lu Yurong rolled her eyes. "Is the Asura's Power Technique really that strong?"
"You must have heard of how powerful it is before."
"Yes, I have, but I have never seen it with my own eyes," Lu Yurong said. "Can it really overpower me? Are you trying to get me to kill someone for you? I know you are an expert in this scheme!"
"Same goes to you!" Chu Li laughed. Both of them were experts in strategizing and getting someone else to do the job when it involved killing and fighting.
Chu Li looked around him for a moment. He whispered, "How about a duel, Miss Lu?"
"You want to fight me?" Lu Yurong studied Chu Li. She continued with a smirk, "Let's not try it. You'll only embarrass yourself. Other than some Light-body Techniques, you only know to run away from a fight. What else do you have?"
Chu Li replied, "I fought with King An previously, and it ended in a draw. After this isolation, he will be able to defeat me. If you can't beat me, then the only way out for you is death. Those who self-cultivated the Asura's Power Technique will not have a soft heart. Don't think you can escape with your beauty!"
"Fine. Let's duel!"
Both of them glided away from the horses and landed in a nearby forest.
The soldiers standing by both sides of the road could only stare. One glance from Chu Li was enough to send chills down their spines. They had a feeling that danger is coming.
They did not understand the conversation between Chu Li and Lu Yurong, but they knew to not mention a word about it. Silence is the safest option for them.
The two of them settled down on the forest floor.
Lu Yurong was giving her all. She unleashed the Empyrean Fairy Power, pressing down her palm to contain her inner energy. In the blink of an eye, her hand, as precious as white jade, came in contact with Chu Li's chest. The whole thing was as soundless as one could imagine. It was truly a transcendent experience.
Chu Li lifted his hand as well, and both of their palms collided.
"Bang!" A thunderous-like sound echoed as a result. They released their inner energy simultaneously.
Lu Yurong's small silky palm harbored immense power.
Chu Li knew that before he mastered the Heavenly Demonic Power, he was no match for someone like Lu Yurong. Her cultivation skills were truly impressive.
Chu Li's fingers closed around Lu Yurong's hand, gripping it tightly.
Suddenly, Lu Yurong's face twisted in anger. Instead of struggling to get away, she huffed and let her inner energy burst forth violently, not holding anything back any longer.
Chu Li continued to grip her hand firmly. The violent attack of inner energy was akin to clay being submerged into the sea. It did not rattle nor harm him in any way. It was like the inner energy evaporated in the air and did not actually hit him.
Lu Yurong could only gape in astonishment.
She had always been proud of herself for being able to master the Empyrean Fairy Power's inner energy. Even the Grandmasters could not contain such pure and unparalleled inner energy. This kind of energy was generated out of nothing, refined and extremely lethal.
Chu Li was confronting such powerful energy without so much as a flinch now, though. It was apparent that he had dispersed the inner energy. When did he manage to possess such cultivation skills?
Chu Li shook his head. "These techniques will not be a threat to King An!"
He withdrew the Heavenly Demon Power back to his precordium.
It devoured her inner energy with ease and was more than pleased to do so because such pure energy was hard to come by. Lu Yurong's inner energy had served as a great tonic to Chu Li's Heavenly Demon Power.
Chu Li himself was also satisfied. The Empyrean Fairy Power's inner energy helped in his cultivation of the Heavenly Demon Power.
Lu Yurong barked a laugh and circulated her heart technique in a different way. An even purer and much more destructive inner energy exploded and slammed into Chu Li's meridian.
The Heavenly Demon Power was activated and swallowed the inner energy right away.
Chu Li's expression did not change. He shook his head again and said, "Still not enough! Let's forget about it."
Lu Yurong frowned.
This guy somehow managed to block her power!
She could not help but recall an allusion to the Empyrean Fairy Power.
