After fifteen years of cultivation, he finally reached the pinnacle of the first rank!

Chapter 22 Hunter
"Then I guessed right before." Li Musheng didn't seem surprised by this.

"General Wu'an's residence was secretly searching for the whereabouts of the missing Seventh Prince, and the two of them fabricated identities and deliberately got discovered, and then followed the people from General Wu'an's residence to Shangyang City."

Cang Yinyue said this and glanced at the ugly woman on the ground.

At this moment, the woman withdrew her gaze from the dead scholar, her eyes filled with fear, and she said hurriedly:
"The whole world knows about the Seventh Prince of the Dali Dynasty. My junior brother and I just wanted to try and see if we could get away with it. We thought that if we succeeded, we would enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future."

Hearing this, Li Musheng suddenly understood:
"As expected, good hunters often appear as prey."

Cang Yinyue's eyes moved, and he suddenly asked:
"You seemed to have known for a long time that there was something wrong with this scholar. How did you discover it?"

Li Musheng touched his chin and said:

"This scholar's disguise isn't very good. Whether it was walking up this steep mountain road or being chased by the Blood Alliance, he feigned fatigue on the surface, but in reality, he was handling it with ease."

"Not only is there not a single injury on your body, but you're still fine after going through this all day. That's very unusual."

"Of course, when his senior sister was being hunted by the Blood Alliance, he might have accidentally revealed a trace of his aura because he was worried about her. This also made me certain that there was something wrong with him."

Hearing this, Cang Yinyue nodded thoughtfully.

After hearing what Li Musheng said, the ugly woman's head suddenly dropped and she murmured:
"I said that Junior Brother couldn't be so heartless to me... We were childhood sweethearts, and he even said he wanted to marry me when we were little."

"If I hadn't been disfigured by practicing poison, and I felt unworthy of him, maybe we would have been husband and wife..."

The ugly woman looked at the scholar's bloody body and suddenly laughed:
"Junior brother also said that when he becomes the Seventh Prince, he will have the palace's best physician treat my face and restore my appearance..."

Having said this, the ugly woman was silent for a while.

Then, she slowly raised her head with tears streaming down her face, looked at Li Musheng with a cold gaze, and said viciously:
"You killed my junior brother. I know I can't escape death tonight, but even if I die, I will make you pay the price."

After saying this, the ugly woman suddenly seemed to have bitten something, and then laughed maliciously:
"Master will avenge us!"

It was visible to the naked eye that the other person's face began to corrode and melt from the inside out, and then spread to the whole body.

Within a few breaths, the ugly woman's skin, flesh, and bones all turned into thick black smoke, emitting an extremely strong fishy smell that drifted in all directions and drifted high into the sky above the mountains and forests.

Seeing this, Cang Yinyue's face turned a little ugly and said:
"She must be sending a special signal by doing this. She is delivering a message to that faceless old man."

Li Musheng waved his hand and frowned:
"It stinks. Let's keep going."

Cang Yinyue turned to look at him:

"Aren't you worried at all?"

Li Musheng glanced at the scholar's body, then jumped onto the mule and horse, laughing:
"My disciple didn't give me something, but Master came all the way here to give it to me. It's really thoughtful of her."

Hearing this, Cang Yinyue stared at Li Musheng in silence for a while, her curved eyebrows unconsciously wrinkled, and said:
"Since you were able to kill this scholar, you must be at least a martial arts master. Although I know I shouldn't delve too deeply into your affairs."

"But I guess you must have had an opportunity, a great opportunity that would have caused countless people in the martial arts world to fight for it. Otherwise, you wouldn't have such amazing cultivation at such a young age, and possess that rare martial art of acupuncture points from a distance."

As he spoke, a complex look appeared in Cang Yinyue's eyes, and he said:
"However, I still have to advise you that before you are sure of your identity as the prince, try not to reveal your strength unless it is absolutely necessary."

"The Imperial Capital is far more complicated than you imagine. Before the dust settles, anything can happen. You could lose your life at any time."

"Also, when you get to Shangyang City, don't trust anyone easily, not even me."

Hearing this, Li Musheng's face suddenly changed and he asked curiously, "Why?"

"No reason. That's all I have to say. Just remember what I said tonight. I won't say it again."

After saying that, Cang Yinyue turned and walked towards the valley, and personally cut off the heads of the three seriously injured masters of the Bloody Alliance.

There is no doubt that these three people are naturally on the court's killing list.

Then, Cang Yinyue glanced at Mengshan and Yuan Mei, but ultimately did not take action. He returned to the mountain road and lightly jumped onto the mule and horse.

"Let's go."

She greeted him calmly and took the lead along the mountain path.

Li Musheng shrugged his shoulders. Whatever the other party said just now went in one ear and out the other.

He immediately patted the mules and horses under him and set foot on the mountain road under the night. At this time, the moonlight came out, illuminating the mountains and forests in front, making it look particularly quiet and bright.

The horse and the valley littered with horrific corpses were moving further and further away, as if they were in two different worlds.

……

Two days passed, and Cang Yinyue and Li Musheng encountered no more obstacles along the way and successfully entered Jingzhou.

As soon as he entered Jingzhou, Li Musheng clearly felt that it was different from other states in Dali.

The city here is well-organized, and agriculture and commerce are very prosperous. Although it is not uncommon to see people from the martial arts world holding swords and knives, I have never seen any fighting or killing each other along the way.

The underworld forces here seemed to have changed their temperament and were polite when they saw the government detectives.

They even encountered on the road a group of government officials and soldiers who were heading to the mountain to suppress bandits, among whom were many chivalrous men who took the initiative to join in and help.

"Miss Cang, Jingzhou looks pretty good. But Shangyang City is under the feet of the emperor. Is it really as bad as you say?"

Since that night, whenever Li Musheng tried to talk to Cang Yinyue, the other party didn't pay much attention and looked like she was worried about something.

Li Musheng felt that the main cause of this incident was that he killed the scholar and showed a little bit of his strength.

At that time, Cang Yinyue talked to him a lot. Although he didn't take it seriously, he noticed the change in the other party's attitude towards him, the seventh prince.

This girl must be hiding something from me.

Li Musheng looked at Cang Yinyue's back, thoughtfully.

At this moment, Cang Yinyue suddenly turned around and said:

"Jingzhou is indeed peaceful. If you are just an ordinary citizen, you can live a peaceful life here."

"But unfortunately you are not. Besides, between a tiger and a venomous snake, who would easily show their claws and fangs?"

"When they show their claws and fangs, they are ready to eat people. But in Shangyang City, there are too many tigers and poisonous snakes hiding."
