Chapter 723 (2/2)

The thin oldatop of the bed had a snohite beard and a pair of fuzzy eyebrows He looked over sixty years old, his face adorned with a pair of half-open eyes, a grave expression, and a sickly-green face

Zhou Zifeng's heart dropped, his father looked exactly like his second brother before—they were both severely injured by the Shura Palm The difference was that by this time, his second brother was already unconscious, while his father could stillhis profound skills

However, he knew that if this was to go on, his father would not be able to ward off the Shura Palm

“Sigh…” High Duke Ji, Zhou Yutian opened his eyes as he let out a long exhalation

“Father, how are you feeling?” Zhou Zifeng asked worriedly

“I won't die from this” Zhou Yutian scoffed

Zhou Zifeng questioned, “How did you get hurt?”

His father's martial art was extremely powerful and was al witnessed hi wounded

Zhou Yutian shook his head “I can't believe that these fellas were so powerful that I couldn't defeat them!”

“How many Asuras were there?”

“Two!”

“And they're so powerful?”

“We are in deep trouble this time!” Zhou Yutian s…”

“Father…!” Zhou Zifeng said anxiously

Zhou Yutian waved and continued “This is the secret of the High Dukes' Public Houses, the reason why the Public Houses won't betray the Leng Fa Family trusts the Twelve Public Houses…”

“Father, you can be healed!” Zhou Zifeng interrupted

Zhou Yutian's eyebrows knitted theether “The Shura Palm I was struck with isn't the same as Zimo's”

It seemed like he also kne Chu Li had healed Zhou Zimo

“What harm is there to try? Just let Chief Chu take a look at you, father!” Zhou Zifeng advised

“Chu Li…” Zhou Yutian's eyebroent into a tighter knot on his forehead

Zhou Zifeng added “He's also the Yi Public House's Chief!”

He knew his father's unspoken concern, Zhou Yutian hated the Secret Guardians Hall to his core and his sentiuardians were the same

Zhou Yutian harrumphed “He's now a centurion in the Secret Guardians Hall! You must beware of those in the Secret Guardians Hall, they're all rats who are unable to achieve anything and are only good at spoiling things!”

“Father, let's just get you healed first!” Zhou Zifeng urged

The Chu Li that Zhou Zifeng saas not as despicable as his father said; Chu Li knew his place as a guest and had remained in the courtyard, he did not poke his nose everywhere and see from unnecessary worries

At this ht was honest, was sitting on his bed, absorbed in his thoughts

He saw the thought that flashed through Zhou Yutian's mind and was daith a sudden realization

No wonder the Twelve High Duke's Public Houses would not betray the Eh Duke's Medallions were old plate into one, they could all ascend to the Outland after channeling a special technique

Ascension to the Outland meant that one was technically a Deva whose life vitality would be henceforth calculated by ten thousand years and could also reincarnate after their decadence—they would be people blessed with both fortune and wisdom This, for those who had exhausted their life vitality, was an irresistible te in comparison to this

“Let's give it a try then” Zhou Yutian declared proudly

Zhou Zifeng quickly came to Chu Li's courtyard

As Chu Li exited his bedchamber and opened the door to his courtyard, he found Zhou Zifeng at his doorstep, sincerely requesting for his help which he readily agreed to do

He followed Zhou Zifeng to Zhou Yutian's courtyard where everyone had stared at hi went silent

Chu Li entered the bedchah Duke Zhou”

“Chu Li, have a look at my injuries and see if you can treat me” Zhou Yutian waved him over

Chu Li stepped up and took his wrist for a diagnosis He s evil intentions?”

“You can run but you can't hide, there's nothing for me to fear,” Zhou Yutian scoffed “How is it?”

Chu Li nodded “It's not a big deal”
