CHAPTER 1110: CHAPTER 417: CHU FAMILY HOUSE GUARDS

Chu Xisheng, however, did not answer but countered, "How is Instructor Li now? Is his health still good?"

Luo Yang was taken aback upon hearing this.

Instructor Li’s name is Li Du, and he is the instructor of the main branch of the Western Capital Chu Family.

He was personally hired by the seventh generation Family Head as a Martial Arts Instructor.

This person holds a status akin to ’Long Tenghu Yue’ Long Heihu, once a prominent figure on the Earthly List. He joined the Western Capital Chu Family when his Qi-Blood was beginning to decline, becoming a tributor for the Chu Family.

Not only responsible for teaching them martial arts, he also served as a mentor to the former Family Head and was highly respected in the main branch of the Chu Family.

The question is, why would this Infinite Blade Lord, unacquainted with Instructor Li, suddenly ask about him?

At this moment, a light laugh from Mad Sword Feng San echoed from afar.

"Are you still going on? If you have any useless tricks left, bring them out. Don’t embarrass yourself in front of me with what’s already used."

Shortly after Feng San’s words fell, Xi Bitian flashed back to his original place.

He no longer possessed his previous arrogance.

Not only were his eyes deeply dark, but his face was ashen, exuding a piercing coldness, suppressed and chilling.

Earlier, he had exhausted all kinds of methods, even deploying the Extreme Move related to Void Time Order, yet he couldn’t shake off Mad Sword Feng San.

Meanwhile, Feng San consistently maintained a distance of one zhang, neither more nor less, evidently at ease, still capable effortlessly.

Mad Sword Feng San followed suit and returned to the original spot.

With hands behind his back, he remained arrogantly composed as always, "That’s all there is!"

Xi Bitian snorted lightly, refraining from replying.

Defeat is defeat, and it was indeed a crushing defeat; there’s nothing more to say.

At this point, no matter what Mad Sword Feng San said about him, Xi Bitian could only endure silently.

All Xi Bitian felt was perplexed as to where this ’Mad Sword’ Feng San had emerged from?

This person’s strength is at least among the top thirty of the Earthly List!

Xi Bitian knew that his own ranking on the Earthly List had elements of exaggeration. There was a tendency for ’Debating Martial Arts Tower’ to deliberately flatter him.

Estimating his own strength, Xi Bitian believed he ranged from one hundred and twenty to one hundred and fifty on the Earthly List.

Nevertheless, relying on his movement technique of divine speed, he could still hold his own against top-notch fighters in the Earthly List for a short period and retreat at his leisure.

Yet this ’Mad Sword’ Feng San possesses genuine combat power of the top thirty on the Earthly List!

The problem is, in the Jianghu, there was never a name known as his!

And this Infinite Blade Lord could actually recruit such a master!

Previously, he even told Luo Yang that as long as Chu Xisheng wished, he could recruit any kind of master below the Heavenly List.

Unexpectedly, his words truly came to fruition.

Luo Yang furrowed his brow tightly: "Benefactor asked about Instructor Li Du? He has chosen to live in seclusion. The instructor’s condition is still manageable, but ultimately, he is at the end of his life span. Two years ago, yet followed us in a fierce battle, depleting a considerable amount of Primordial Qi, now in his twilight years, his life expectancy is waning."

He then cast a suspicious glance at Chu Xisheng: "Benefactor knows Instructor Li?"

Xi Bitian also withdrew his thoughts and looked towards Chu Xisheng.

"Of course,"

Chu Xisheng searched through the memories in his mind.

Though these were not originally his, he too resonated with them.

This individual was considered the most caring towards Chu Zheng, treating him the best among all in the Western Capital Chu Mansion.

Before Chu Zheng was assigned a ghost marriage to be buried alongside him, the majority of house guards in the Chu Family’s main branch were led away by Chu Rulai with open conspiracy, ushering them into the Capital City’s outskirts among encirclements of countless masters.

It is said that Li Du fought valiantly, even at the cost of burning his remaining life span and vitality, only then allowing Xi Bitian and others to escape outside the city.

Chu Xisheng felt they owed this elder.

This Instructor Li joined the Western Capital Chu Family hoping to retire and extend his life, but in the end, his efforts proved futile, costing him even more.

"Please convey to Instructor Li that I am willing to offer three ’Seven-Section Heavenly Yuan Bamboo Shoots’ capable of extending his life by twenty years as remuneration, inviting him to serve as a tributor in the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace."

Iron-faced Judge Luo Yang displayed surprise once again: "I will convey it on behalf of the benefactor, however—"

Instructor Li’s mindset and determination have long since dissipated following the young master’s death.

"Instructor Li will surely not agree."

Xi Bitian took over Luo Yang’s words.

He also looked at Chu Xisheng with a puzzled expression: "Due to the demise of our young master, he has lost heart, desiring only a peaceful remainder of life."

At this moment, Xi Bitian also recognized how strange the words spoken by Chu Xisheng were.

Chu Xisheng did not respond, but continued to gaze at Iron-faced Judge Luo Yang.

"Another matter, I have obtained the agreement of the Palace Master and several protectors, extending an invitation to Mr. Luo to temporarily serve as Right Commander in the palace."

While speaking, he pulled out a silver-white token from his sleeve and tossed it to Luo Yang.

Luo Yang’s brow furrowed deeply.

At this moment, how could he accept serving as anyone’s Right Commander?

However, upon receiving the token, he was slightly amazed.

Contained within the token was a formidable power of Precepts!

Rumor has it that within the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace surfaced the fragmentary pages of the ancient Divine Treasure ’Two Books of Precepts,’ ultimately falling into the hands of a female disciple of the Formless Divine Sect.

Luo Yang’s main cultivation was ’Great Middle Righteous Qi Technique,’ he could harness the court’s power of Precepts if in public service.

Yet, this Cloud Sea Immortal Palace could also offer him similar power.

Luo Yang considered that the benefactor’s act was indeed kind-hearted, though it lacked consideration of one’s own inclination, excessively speculative.

Xi Bitian spoke up swiftly, coldly laughing: "It seems the Blade Lord truly thinks of us as subordinates, arranging us however he wishes?"

Chu Xisheng, however, smiled meaningfully and placed his hands behind his back: "Since you two still call me Young Master, acknowledging yourselves as members of the Chu Family’s main branch, then what’s wrong with treating you as subordinates?"
