Chapter 969
Chu Li nodded with satisfaction before he turned to step into the courtyard .
It was a heated battle in the Roaring Tiger Clan .
Chu Li raised his voice, “Alright, Hu Ya and the rest have surrendered . It doesn’t matter if the rest surrender or not . Let’s pull out!”
“Yes!” Radiance Clan’s ten masters solemnly answered .
The ten of them formed a circular formation and slowly withdrew . Close to a hundred men watched as they left the Roaring Tiger Clan . Once they were out of sight, someone ran into Zheng Tianhe’s courtyard .
Soon, a terrifying shriek was heard . “Clan Leader—!”
Chu Li shook his head . He then happily nodded at the ten masters before him . “Good, you will be rewarded upon our return!”
“Thank you, Clan Leader,” the crowd cried out in unison .
Chu Li waved his arm . “Let’s go . ”
“Yes!” the mass answered .
With that, Chu Li brought the ten masters back to Radiance Clan .
Hu Ya’s party of thirty was waiting outside of Radiance Clan and had not entered . When they noticed that Chu Li was walking over, they greeted him with a fist salute .
“Let’s go . We’re a family now . Go in,” Chu Li said .
The trio, including Kou Qiong, was sat in Radiance Clan, looking pink in health .
Having consumed Chu Li’s spirit pill, their recovery was haste . After half a day, they had almost completely recouped and were no longer at their last gasp as they sat firmly in the main hall .
The trio got up to greet in fist salutes at the sight of Chu Li .
Chu Li waved his arm . “They belong to Radiance Clan from today onwards . Please help them settle here . ”
Kou Qiong and the other two stared at Hu Ya’s party of thirty with surprise .
Hu Ya motioned a fist salute with a bitter smile . “We’ll be under your guidance . ”
Kou Qiong and the two responded with a fist salute .
“Young master, this is…?”
“They have surrendered and submitted to us!”
“And Roaring Tiger Clan…?” Kou Qiong blinked his eyes . He was confused and failed to have a grasp of things .
Chu Li answered in frustration, “I killed Zheng Tianhe and have forced them to submit . I didn’t take in the remaining hundred useless people . These thirty will make do . It should be enough for the Gale Branch, right?”
“Young master has killed Zheng Tianhe?” Kou Qiong responded .
Chu Li frowned and impatiently added, “I say, Elder Kou, did Zheng Tianhe knock the brains out of you?”
Kou Qiong gave a bitter smile . “Yes yes, I get what young master means but Zheng Tianhe can’t be killed!”
“He can kill you but we can’t kill him?” Chu Li waved his arm . “It’s too late for you to say this now . He has already been killed . Are you planning to resuscitate him?”
“Can he be resuscitated?”
“No!”
“Sigh… Zheng Tianhe’s father is Zheng Yanwu, a reclusive master of White Tiger Sect . It’s said that he’s a master who made a name for himself twenty years ago!” Lu Shu shook his head and sighed . “If he were to catch wind of his son killed, his son who was conceived in his old age, he will probably disregard the rules to be in solitary after a hundred years to kill young master!”
“I’ll be waiting!” Chu Li snorted .
There was no chance to learn the White Tiger Power from young Zheng Tianhe as he was still at the beginning of his cultivation, but there was a possibility with Zheng Yanwu .

For the sake of learning White Tiger Power, what was a little risk?
Judging by Chu Li’s unconcerned look, Kou Qiong and the two knew that talk was futile . As he already made the kill, it was pointless to ask for forgiveness . They could not chop off their heads to gift to Zheng Yanwu anyway, so their only choice was to hold on .
They swept a glance at Hu Ya’s party and shook their heads .
This group was Roaring Tiger Clan’s elites and so naturally, it fulfilled the standard that the young master sought . Even the worst of the bunch was a perfected innate master . However, with only ten disciples in Radiance Clan versus thirty of them, buying them in was not going to be an easy task .
Fortunately, the young master was here to keep the situation under control . As long as he could put a stop to Zheng Yanwu, these people would submit wholeheartedly and become part of Radiance Clan or perhaps he should call it Gale Branch .
The crucial key lay on whether young master could resist against Zheng Yanwu .
“Young master, why don’t we seek help from Great Light Peak?” Kou Qiong asked .
Chu Li threw him a side glance .
With that, Kou Qiong shut his mouth and stop talking about it . He turned his head and said, “Xiao Jiang, make the necessary room arrangements for them!”
“Yes!” a young man of slender build answered in a loud voice .
Handsome and keen, he shouted, “Come with me, I’ll find a room for everyone!”
Chu Li took a look at Xiao Jiang and nodded .
Jiang Kuai had made himself appear like this with the Bone Shrinkage Skill . With Li Dynasty martial arts imparted by him and an identity he had sought for himself in the dark, no one knew Jiang Kuai was here apart from him .
After the crowd asked for their leave, Chu Li commented, “Look at you guys scared . Is a hundred-year-old man that frightening?”
“Young master, don’t underestimate masters that are over a hundred years old,” Kou Qiong replied . “I heard that their abilities can be gruesome, unimaginable to those within a hundred years old . Young master, you may be a top-notch master but your cultivation is still lacking . ”
“Don’t worry,” Chu Li answered, “just handle what concerns you . Don’t bother about it too much!”

“…Yes . ” Kou Qiong nodded helplessly .
The young master was not going to listen even if he spoke more about it . However, having come to this, it did not matter whether he listened or not .
“Why don’t young master return to Great Light Peak?” Lu Shu remarked . “Find some friends to hang out with? It’s better than here . ”
Chu Li gave him the side glance .
Lu Shu smiled uncomfortably . “This is a hundred-year-old master! It’s better to take cover instead than to forcefully go against him . ”
“You guys won’t escape death if I leave!” Chu Li snorted . “It’s fine . Don’t come up with any more ideas . I’ll be here waiting for him . I want to see how capable he is . So don’t bother me now!”
He turned around and walked away .
Without the presence of Zheng Tianhe, there was no need for him to go to the courtyard in Roaring Tiger Clan . Hence, he remained in his original courtyard .
That night, he appeared in King An’s Imperial Residence to let Xiao Qi and Xiao Shi know that he would not be around for the next few days . Instead, he would remain there .
Without him around in Gale City, Zheng Yanwu would release his anger on Radiance Clan .
Xiao Qi seemed the same as before — cold and cheerless . Chu Li now understood her better and knew that she was not unconcerned about things; she seemed to have opened her heart .
Moreover, it seemed like his earlier speech has had an impact on her . As the saying went, only when acknowledged by a sentiment could the sentiment be let go of . With this, Xiao Qi no longer pushed him away intentionally .
“Let’s be in Isolated Cultivation in Spirit Cranes Peak for my return this time . ” Chu Li smiled .
The lamp lit up the courtyard as bright as day .
The trio was sat by the stone table in the courtyard . Yang Xu and Menglan were not around so the three of them sat and talked while they ate dessert and fruits .
Under the bright lamp, it was as if time had turned back time and the two ladies were beautiful as jade .

“You two should go . ” Xiao Shi smiled . “You’re going to cultivate but I don’t know any martial arts so it’s pointless for me to go . ”
Xiao Qi said, “Second eldest sister, let’s go together . ”
Xiao Shi was all smiles when she commented, “I’m being tactful . ”
“Second eldest sister, I won’t go if you don’t go,” Xiao Qi responded .
Chu Li added, “Second lady doesn’t like it there? The scenery there is better . Isolated Cultivation there shouldn’t take too long in the beginning . We’ll start from three to five days and slowly prolong the time . ”
“Mm, that’s okay then . ” Xiao Shi nodded .
The trio was deep in conversation when Zhu Tianhua’s voice was heard coming from outside . “Head Chief, someone’s looking for you . ”
“Who?” Chu Li asked .
Zhu Tianhua answered, “The person’s secretive about it and wanted me handover a waist tag to Head Chief in secret . ”
“Come in!” Chu Li yelled .
The tall, sturdy Zhu Tianhua pushed open the doors and fished out a dark metal tag before he handed over with two hands .
Scrunching up his face, Chu Li solemnly ordered, “Bring him to my courtyard from the back door . Don’t let anyone see you!”
“Yes,” Zhu Tianhe answered .
