Chapter 829: Bloody Garment

Yang Ying sneered. “You have two sets, so it’s not like you need both either!”

“I’ve already given one away to somebody,” Chu Li replied.

Yang Ying furrowed her eyebrows and glared at him. “You’re so generous. I’ll have you know that the White Tiger Armor is an exceptional treasure!”

Chu Li said, “It’s not like I can wear both, right?”

“Very well, I won’t talk to you anymore.” Yang Ying had noticed the servant bringing their food over. She immediately began digging into her food, though her fast eating was not the least bit unrefined. She did not eat boorishly at all, so it was obvious that she had been brought up properly.

Chu Li felt his appetite grow as he watched her enjoy her food thoroughly.

After inhaling all her food in a single breath, Yang Ying heaved a delighted sigh and pleasingly said, “Very well, do you still want to learn the White Tiger Bonesetting Technique then?”

“Still no White Tiger Armor.”

“I don’t want your White Tiger Armor anymore.” Yang Ying continued, “I’ll teach you for free, how about that?”

Chu Li’s expression shifted into one of suspicion.

Yang Ying jibed. “I just find your appearance very pitiful, so I feel sorry for you. Don’t act like you can’t recognize goodwill when you see it. Besides, it isn’t some secret technique so there’s no harm in teaching you.”

“Forget it.” Chu Li shook his head. “Since this is the way I look, I’ll just accept it as it is. I don’t want to change to the point that even I can’t recognize myself.”

Yang Ying pursed her lips and said, “Then just you wait and see which woman would fall for you!”

Chu Li merely smiled and lifted his glass before taking a sip of alcohol.

“Chi!” A cold light suddenly shot towards Yang Ying.

Yang Ying harrumphed before raising a delicate fist to block it.

“Ding…” A crisp sound could be heard as a flying blade fell to the ground.

“Chi! Chi! Chi!” Three blades of cold light combined and formed the letter “pin” ¹  before dividing to attack Yang Ying’s throat and chest which clearly did not give her a chance to defend herself.

Yang Ying’s face was cold like winter frost as she slammed a powerful fist downwards.

“Ding ding ding” The three blades of cold light were sent flying before three flying blades fell to the ground.

Yang Ying shouted, “Despicable b*stard!”

Her silhouette flickered as she weaved her way through the crowd like a fish, and then she slammed a delicate fist into an Elder dressed in a green robe when she arrived by a table about five meters away.

The Elder in a green robe looked thin and frail, not to mention the fact that he had his back towards her, so he did not seem like a person that had thrown flying blades.

Just as Yang Ying’s fist landed, the Elder immediately shifted sideways to evade it. Another blade of cold light came rushing out, this time inches away as if the blade had been waiting for this exact moment to strike.

“Ding…” Right before the flying blade struck Yang Ying, it was blasted away by a formless force as Chu Li retracted his right hand.

Yang Ying broke out in cold sweat out of shock. She was still too inexperienced; and had almost suffered a brutal attack from this old man!

The thought of this made her shocked yet furious. Her fist glimmered once more before it flew towards him at an even faster rate than before.

The green-robed Elder had avoided this punch as well, yet he never expected that Yang Ying’s punch would suddenly switch directions at an insane speed, thus he could not evade it in time and could only extend a palm to receive it.

“Bang!” He was immediately slammed into the ground like an entire mountain had crushed downwards onto him, rendering him unable to move.

Yang Ying stepped on his back with her boots so that his head was stuck on the floor. She then growled. “Who are you?”

She found the whole thing quite strange. She had just descended the mountain, so she did not make enemies of any kind. Even if there were enemies, they were mostly enemies of the White Tiger Sect. Still, why would there be a need for these enemies to pick a fight with a woman? This was truly strange indeed!

Chu Li said, “He’s after me.” He then shook his head and continued, “Let him go, I doubt you’ll be able to get anything out of him.”

“You have too many enemies.” Yang Ying harrumphed. “I can’t be too close to you anymore otherwise I’ll definitely be worn out because of you.”

She then glared at Chu Li before she said, “You’re truly a bearer of bad luck.”

Chu Li retorted, “Yet this bearer of bad luck saved your life just now.”

“I was in danger because of you!” Yang Ying continued, “I won’t thank you. I’m leaving now!”

She turned and walked off hurriedly as if she were worried that he would stop her from doing so.

Chu Li shook his head and laughed as he walked towards the green-robed Elder before he sighed. “Tell me, who sent you?”

“Doesn’t seem like you’ll talk.” Chu Li shook his head before saying, “Very well, I won’t kill you.”

Once his words fell, he flicked a single finger towards the green-robed Elder.

The green-robed Elder immediately laid a hand against his Dantian as he glared desperately but resentfully at Chu Li. He felt his inner energy flow rapidly away from him like water as his cultivation level disappeared from his body rapidly.

Chu Li then got up and left Nine Star Tower.

…

Evening soon fell. Yue Ru pushed open a door to enter Bai Feng’s home. “Master.”

Bai Feng, who sat cross-legged on the couch, slowly opened her eyes. “Has something happened?”

“There are rumors going around that a female disciple from the White Tiger Sect is wooing Young Master Zhao.” Yue Ru’s eyebrows furrowed lightly as she continued, “I’ve seen this disciple before and she’s a good lady, she doesn’t seem to be part of a sexual entrapment plan set up by the White Tiger Sect.”

“Zhao Dahe hasn’t been coming recently?”

“No, Master.”

“Hm, it seems that he does like you, otherwise he wouldn’t go so far.”

Yue Ru lowered her head.

Bai Feng continued, “Were you worried that he would be tricked by the White Tiger Sect?”

“Yes,” Yue Ru said with a nod.

Bai Feng chuckled lightly before saying, “Don’t worry, the White Tiger Sect has admitted defeat. Even if she is trying to sexually entrap him, they won’t hurt him. Who knows, they might even pull him over to the White Tiger Sect and turn foe to friend.”

“They’re already five Elders down. You’re saying they won’t seek revenge and even want to turn foe to friend?”

“This is the reality of martial arts, the strong are respected. He’ll become an inner mountain disciple of the Holy Church of Light soon, so when that happens he’ll be an influential figure from the Holy Church of Light. If the White Tiger Sect keeps their hostility with him, they’ll suffer a greater loss. After all, the Holy Church of Light is very respected in the Li Dynasty.”

“Then what about the White Tiger Sect’s dignity?”

“The five Elders died because their skills were not up to par, they didn’t die because of some personal grudge. They were fully aware that they should not make him their enemy, yet they dug their graves anyway. They were obviously not acting intelligently.” Bai Feng shook her head as she said, “The four major sects have always had their own methods of survival since ancient times.”

“Master, I doubt that she’s part of a sexual entrapment plan.”

“She definitely is and everyone knows this clearly. The White Tiger Sect has no plans to hide it either.”

“This…” Yue Ru was hesitant.

Bai Feng asked, “You don’t want to admit it? Why?”

Yue Ru shook her head immediately. “I just don’t think she is, that Yang Ying girl is quite innocent.”

“She doesn’t know that she’s in the plan.” Bai Feng laughed lightly and said, “Which is why Zhao Dahe isn’t annoyed by her. If she does know, this plan will definitely fail.”

Yue Ru nodded her head slowly.

Bai Feng continued, “Seeing how intelligent Zhao Dahe is, I’m sure he’s long figured it out. He’s probably just acting dumb. You don’t need to worry about him.”

“Yes,” Yue Ru said and nodded lightly.

“Very well, you may go.” Bai Feng dismissed her with a wave of her hand.

Yue Ru gave her master a fist salute before slowly turning around to leave.

Bai Feng shook her head; she understood her disciple’s thoughts clearly. Yue Ru must feel like her toy has just been snatched away by someone else and although Yue Ru did not like this toy much, she would definitely still feel uncomfortable because someone had snatched it away.

A series of three long knocks and two short knocks against her door could suddenly be heard.

Bai Feng solemnly called out, “Come in!”

A servant dressed in green entered her home with a push of the door. He moved towards the front of her couch before handing a bamboo tube to her with both hands.

Bai Feng opened it and unfolded the rolled-up letter within it. Her eyes swept over the letter quickly before her eyebrows furrowed.

She then waved her hand dismissively.

The servant bowed before leaving the place silently.

Bai Feng studied the letter with a solemn expression. It had finally arrived; the Church of the Bloody Garment had revived just as expected!

The revival of the Church of the Bloody Garment was definitely because of the Zheng Dynasty’s support, or perhaps the support of the Fu Dynasty as well. However, Bai Feng could not deal with either dynasties at the moment. For now, she would have to first deal with the Church of the Bloody Garment since their first step of reestablishing themselves would be to take on the Tian Luo Sect!

They might even start with Gale City’s Phoenix Goddess Brothel!

With her eyebrows furrowed tightly, she got off her couch to move to her desk where she started grind her ink slab.

She needed to notify her Master of this as soon as possible. The revival of the Church of the Bloody Garment meant only one thing—they would be just like the all-powerful Radiance Clan that wiped everything out.
