The seven Asuras had cast the other three Asuras aside to let them recover on their own.

After a few days, their severed feet would regrow. This was the Body of Asura’s special characteristic, which was one coveted by everyone in the martial arts world, including the four major sects.

They had just sat down when Chu Li reappeared. He launched multiple Petrifying Finger attacks simultaneously and had managed to hit one of them.

Before the person could use his secret skill, Chu Li threw another Petrifying Finger at him and then chopped off his feet.

Every time he used the Petrifying Finger to break through the Body of Asura, Chu Li would feel a great sense of admiration for the Tempest Temple’s martial arts study. He was amazed at how this tough Body of Asura could actually be restrained by the Petrifying Finger.

“Bang, bang, bang…” The other six Asuras activated their secret skill again. No matter how hostile and indifferent they felt toward their companions, they were enraged by Chu Li. An immense desire to kill surged in their hearts as they became determined to kill him.

Before the sixteen Grandmasters could reach the scene, they heard Chu Li’s shout. “Fall back!”

They turned around and ran at once.

Chu Li left in the opposite direction and lured the six Asuras away as they followed behind him in close pursuit.

After running over a mile, Chu Li vanished all of a sudden.

The six Asuras were so furious that they wished they could howl at the night sky. They naturally possessed a heightened sense of smell that enabled them to easily track a person down but unfortunately, it was impossible to track Chu Li’s scent.

After a long while, they had no choice but to withdraw their secret skill and return to their meeting spot. However, much to their surprise the sixteen Grandmasters were already there expecting them.

They were already furious over their failure to chase after Chu Li, so when they saw these sixteen Grandmasters, they did not hesitate to charge forward.

With roughly three against one, the sixteen Grandmasters managed to go up against them.

“Bang, bang, bang…” Amidst the loud explosive sounds, the Asuras activated their secret skill again.

“Fall back!” Chu Li’s voice echoed.

The sixteen Grandmasters turned around and left immediately while Chu Li appeared and shot three Petrifying Finger attacks with both hands at the six Asuras to stop their pursuit.

Without missing a beat, they turned around and chased after him.

Chu Li ran over two miles and vanished once again.

These six Asuras became overwhelmed with murderous intentions after having been toyed around by Chu Li. Nonetheless, they were not fools as they immediately realized Chu Li’s intention and turned to leave. They planned to wait until tomorrow to kill Chu Li. As for today, it would be better for them to get away first.

However, Chu Li suddenly reappeared and launched two finger forces at an Asura.

The Asura had a tall and sturdy figure. He managed to avoid the first finger force but failed to dodge the second one.

It was as if the second finger force had already predicted his movement and was waiting for him to collide with it.

While he was still struggling to dodge the second finger force, a third one had reached him. There was no way for him to evade it, so he had to stretch out his palm to counter the attack.

Instantly, his body went rigid.

Then, his companions noticed the situation and rushed over to him.

The moment his body stiffened, Chu Li had appeared and swung his Modesty Sword at his ankles. His feet soundlessly fell off from his legs.

Since the Asuras bore hostility toward one another, they had to stay away from their companions and maintain a safe distance to prevent themselves from losing control and starting a fight among themselves.

It was this distance that Chu Li had taken advantage of.

They came charging at him with a cold glint in their eyes but most of them could no longer activate their secret skill.

As the Heavenly Demonic Orb fell to his precordium, his body became filled with boundless force. Next, Chu Li charged at the five of them and forcefully received their Shura Palm, planning to make all of them perish together.

Although he kept being hit by their Shura Palm from time to time, he did not seem to be bothered by it at all and was focusing on swinging the Modesty Sword at them while throwing Petrifying Finger attacks interlaced with the Spear Finger Strike.

At its second level, the Spear Finger Strike was soundless, soft and gentle as the wind, so it was almost impossible to guard against.

However, the Asuras’ instincts during the battle were so astounding that it was barely possible to launch a surprise attack on them even with the Spear Finger Strike at its second level.

“Centurion Chu!” When the sixteen Grandmasters rushed to the scene and found Chu Li being surrounded by five Asuras while taking continuous hits from them, they quickly charged forward.

Instantly, Chu Li was relieved from the unpleasant situation.

Now, the rest of his work had become much simpler. By using the Omniscient Mirror and the Manifestation of Nature Restoration, he was able to swiftly move around and effectively strike the Asuras during critical moments.

Two hours later, all five of the Asuras had been defeated.

Chu Li heaved a long sigh of relief and actually felt exhausted. This exhaustion of his was not in terms of his physical strength, but of his mental power.

They brought the ten Asuras along with them as they returned to the military encampment.

King Ping gave a banquet in his tent and invited Chu Li alone to drink with him.

The interior of King Ping’s tent was lavishly decorated.

It was the first time Chu Li had come across the delicacies that had been served on the table.

After having been to several High Dukes’ Public Houses, a few Imperial Residences, and many other places, he had tasted countless types of dishes but had never seen anything like these delicacies on the table. The great aroma, visual, and taste of these dishes made him salivate at first glance.

There was a jar of wine that emitted almost no fragrance at all after its sealing clay was cracked open, and when the wine was poured into their jasper cups, it appeared to have an oily texture to it that would feel rather heavy to the palate.

Once Chu Li drank it, however, the wine’s fragrance filled his stomach and seemed to be intoxicating his organs and even his brain. It was truly a supreme form of enjoyment.

“Good wine!” Chu Li exclaimed.

“Here, I shall give you a toast to thank you for removing this great worry of mine!” King Ping held up his jasper cup and said with admiration, “Previously, it was Sun Zhanhe, and this time, it’s the Asuras. Well done!”

Chu Li smiled and drank to his toast. “I’m flattered, Your Royal Highness.”

After putting down his jasper cup, King Ping let out a sigh. “I know that it’s your qualm about the fight for the throne that’s holding you back from coming over to assist me!”

Chu Li fell silent.

This was an inappropriate topic to discuss after all.

King Ping said, “I know that everyone thinks highly of Sixth Younger Brother and believes that he’s orthodox enough to become the Emperor!”

Chu Li held the jasper cup and played with it in his hand as though it was some rare treasure. He would not stop fiddling with it and paid no attention to King Ping’s words.

King Ping continued to say, “But I also know that once Sixth Younger Brother ascends the throne, my life will be in danger!”

Chu Li carried on playing with the jasper cup.

King Ping chuckled. “If it were me, I, too, wouldn’t be at ease to have a brother who has been wielding military power for so many years stay alive!”

Chu Li was still toying around with the jasper cup.

King Ping asked, “Chu Li, you also believe that I stand no chance against Sixth Younger Brother, don’t you?”

Chu Li sighed and put down the jasper cup. “Your Royal Highness, I know that you only want to be the General and that you don’t wish to become the Emperor. Your Royal Highness isn’t suitable to become the Emperor anyway.”

King Ping narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled. “What makes you say that?”

Chu Li pointed at the interior of the large tent and shook his head while explaining, “If Your Royal Highness is aiming for the throne, aren’t you then giving others plenty of evidence to use against you? Even the Imperial House isn’t so extravagant and yet Your Royal Highness dares to live so luxuriously?”

King Ping scoffed but did not speak.

Chu Li went on. “Your Royal Highness doesn’t wish to become the Emperor and can’t become the Emperor anyway. Meanwhile, you don’t wish to let King Jing take the throne as well. In that case, this issue is very easy to solve. You can just support someone else!”

King Ping said coldly, “King An?”

Chu Li shook his head. “King An isn’t suitable to become the Emperor too. Although he’s working hard to achieve it, he’s actually moving further away from his goal.”

“Who else can be a hopeful candidate then? You can’t be thinking of King Cheng, right?”

“King An has a prince.” Chu Li smiled.

“Huh…?” King Ping seemed surprised.

Chu Li broke into laughter. “It seems like Your Royal Highness isn’t very well-informed about the latest happenings in Fairy’s Capital. You didn’t know that King An has a prince who returned and acknowledged his roots and ancestors?”

King Ping said thoughtfully, “Are you suggesting that I should support a young kid to become the Emperor?”

Chu Li replied, “Your Royal Highness can take it into consideration.”

Since King Ping was not aware of Xu An’s identity, he did not want to say anything more. As for how the future would unfold, no one could know for sure. Now that he had sown this seed, whether or not the seed would sprout in the future would then depend on the changes in the situation. He could only facilitate the process according to the situation.

King Ping frowned and fell silent.
