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

Chapter 390 Low-key
In the blink of an eye, Li Musheng was surrounded by surging demonic energy and soaring murderous light.

The elders of the seven major sects stared blankly, and those who had been trying their best to persuade Li Musheng were now completely silenced.

Everyone originally thought that Li Musheng was a righteous person and was with them, but they never expected that he was actually with the devil.

In an instant, the experts from the seven major sects were filled with despair.

In the current situation, with a powerful demon in the vortex of demonic energy and another powerful demon standing in front of them, these people have no chance at all and are almost certain to die.

Meanwhile, the Grand Palace Master of the Moon Invitation Palace, who had been observing the situation in mid-air from below, also showed a look of shock.

She had personally faced Li Musheng's attack before, and he had no trace of demonic aura or any signs of being a member of the demonic path.

However, the increasingly terrifying demonic aura emanating from the person before her was a clear indication that he was a member of the demonic path, and an unimaginably powerful demon at that.

"Qingyu is a demon, and this person before us is also a demon. The strength of these two is unfathomable. Could it be that the righteous path of the martial world has truly come to an end?"

Wen Yue's expression changed rapidly, but now that she was under the influence of Master Qingyu's Soul Searching Technique, there was nothing she could do.

Moreover, she dared not do anything, since she still needed to get information about her sister's whereabouts from Master Qingyu.

"Damn it, this kid is actually a big demon?"

At the same time, Bai Wuying, the legendary thief, who was down the mountain, also changed his expression drastically when he saw this scene.

"Wait a minute, wasn't this kid perfectly fine just now? How did he suddenly turn into a demon?"

Bai Wuying immediately frowned again, staring intently at Li Musheng's figure in the sky.

The billowing demonic energy soaring into the sky, the dazzling demonic light, and the ever-increasing, increasingly terrifying demonic aura...

All of this demonstrates that Li Musheng is a complete and utter villain.

After all, it is common knowledge in the martial arts world that once a person enters the demonic path, there is no way out except death.

There is no one in this world who has entered the demonic path, practiced demonic arts, and yet has been able to completely extinguish the demonic nature within their heart.

"Damn it, this kid is a real monster!"

Bai Wuying's expression turned extremely ugly. As a righteous person, he naturally had no reason to stand idly by when encountering a demonic genius.

But the most troublesome thing now is that not only is his lightness skill inferior to Li Musheng's, but his cultivation level is probably no match for him either.

If we act rashly, we'll likely be defeated tonight.

Previously, at the Jubao Chamber of Commerce, he had confidently told Bai Xiaotang that he would definitely tie up Li Musheng and hang him up to beat him.

The current situation is no longer about him beating Li Musheng or Li Musheng beating him.

Rather, if he were to make a move, given the demonic path's modus operandi, he would likely be killed by them tonight!
Just as the legendary thief Bai Wuying was extremely hesitant about whether to make a move, the unrestrained laughter of the Sun and Moon Demon Queen echoed from the vortex of demonic energy above Qingxuan Temple:
"Eighth Prince of Dali, even if you have unparalleled martial arts talent, so what? In the end, won't you still be just like me, unable to control the demonic nature in your heart and fall into the demonic path?"

Upon hearing this, everyone, including the experts from the seven major sects of the Great Xuan Jianghu and the Grand Palace Master of the Invitation Moon Palace, were taken aback.

For a moment, everyone stared in utter shock at Li Musheng's figure, which was shrouded in demonic light.

The words of the Sun and Moon Demon Queen were clearly directed at him, but what surprised everyone even more was Li Musheng's identity as the Eighth Prince of Dali.

This is as astonishing as Li Musheng suddenly turning into a demon. After all, Li Musheng's reputation in the martial arts world is too great now, and it is widely rumored that he will definitely become the fourth martial arts god in the future.

"There must be a mistake... How could a demon become a martial god?"

Among the seven major sects, some experts shook their heads with difficulty, while Bai Wuying in the distance was even more confused.

He had previously guessed Li Musheng's identity, so he wasn't particularly surprised to hear it confirmed by the Sun and Moon Demon Queen.

But then he thought about it and felt something was very wrong. How could a prince of the Great Li Dynasty be a demon? Moreover, the other party had fought with the Killing Saint of the Hidden Killing Pavilion in full view of everyone.

If he were truly a demon, there would be no one who wouldn't know.

"Could it be that he recently fell into demonic possession?"

Bai Wuying frowned, a thoughtful expression on his face, and then he sighed with regret:

"How foolish! Such a martial arts genius has gone astray and entered the demonic path. It's a complete waste of his talent!"

Someone like Li Musheng, who had the potential to become a martial god and was so young, embarked on a path of no return.

Even bystanders like Bai Wuying felt immense regret upon seeing this, deeply feeling it was a tremendous loss that the righteous path of the martial world could hardly imagine.

After all, Bai Wuying, who was once a martial arts prodigy, has already come a long way on the path of martial arts.

However, even for him, the realm of Martial God always felt incredibly distant.

He had even given up hope for the rest of his life, and there was no possibility of him ever reaching the realm of a Martial God.

And this is the rare, peerless genius who has the potential to become a Martial God, making even Bai Wuying envious and jealous.

The result was that he fell into the demonic path, directly ruining the bright future that countless people dreamed of. Who could bear that?
"Is this kid out of his mind? Possessed by a demon? I'd be so much better off with that martial arts talent!"

The legendary thief Bai Wuying gazed at Li Musheng, whose demonic aura surged into the sky, with a complex expression.

Li Musheng, on the other hand, remained calm throughout, standing in mid-air, his demonic aura continuing to rise, gradually becoming more and more terrifying.

He ignored the words of the Sun and Moon Demon Queen, and with a casual wave of his hand, a surge of demonic energy erupted, directly blasting away the group of experts from the seven major sects who were resisting the oppressive aura of the Sun and Moon Demon Queen.

In an instant, the masters from the seven major sects fell from mid-air to the foot of Qingxuan Temple like dumplings falling into a pot.

With a series of muffled groans, the members of the seven major sects scrambled out of the rubble and mud pits created by the impact.

Although everyone was injured from the fall, they had escaped the oppressive aura of the Sun and Moon Demon Queen and had narrowly escaped death. "It seems you haven't completely fallen into demonic ways yet; you still retain a laughable sense of mercy."

The Sun and Moon Demon Queen's cold, murderous voice emanated from the vortex of demonic energy. Li Musheng glanced into the vortex and said meaningfully:
"Instead of talking to me, you'd be better off absorbing all this demonic cultivation, or someone else will snatch it all away."

Upon hearing this, one side of the demonic energy vortex suddenly trembled.

"You just wait, I will soon master my demonic arts and take your life!"

Within the vortex of demonic energy, murderous intent surged, and the Sun and Moon Demon Queen seemed to have lost control of her bloodthirsty demonic nature.

At this moment, the seven masters from the major sects who had already fallen to the foot of the mountain, having temporarily escaped their calamity, dared not approach the vortex of demonic energy in the sky any further.

"What should we do next? This matter is beyond our control. Perhaps we should retreat for now?"

An elder from one of the sects spoke, his face pale, but the elder from the Heavenly Blood Palace shook his head, his gaze shifting back and forth between Li Musheng and the vortex of demonic energy, and said:
"There's no rush. That demonic Eighth Prince of Dali is clearly at odds with the demonic leaders of the three major demonic sects. They might end up fighting like dogs..."

However, before he could finish speaking, the vortex of demonic energy above suddenly collapsed, then transformed into two balls of demonic light that fell into the bodies of the two figures shrouded in demonic energy.

The experts from the seven major sects looked over, but the next moment, their expressions all changed.

"What's going on? Why is Daoist Qingyu here, and... she seems to have become a demon as well..."

Before everyone's eyes, Master Qingyu, dressed in a Taoist robe, sat cross-legged in the void with his eyes closed, exuding a terrifying demonic aura.

The experts from the seven major sects were all somewhat stunned. Too many unexpected events had occurred tonight, and none of them were good.

In fact, considering all these factors, it would be quite unreasonable if all the experts from the seven major sects didn't perish here tonight.

"Is it too late to escape now?"

Some people were already speaking in alarm, but at this moment, the aura of Daoist Qingyu and the Sun and Moon Demon Queen above Qingxuan Temple was too terrifying. The terrifying demonic pressure even enveloped the area within several miles of Qingxuan Temple.

Even if they wanted to escape, it was impossible for them to do so under the overwhelming pressure of the demonic forces.

At the same time, upon seeing this scene, the Thief Saint Bai Wuying no longer hesitated and immediately decided to conceal himself and hide temporarily.

However, at this moment, the Sun and Moon Demon Queen, whose nine pitch-black devouring demonic vortexes floated behind her, released a sharp, eerie light from her eyes, like the eyes of a demon god, and looked directly at where Bai Wuying was:
"Bai Wuying, I had already sensed your arrival. Tonight, it is time to settle the score between us!"

Upon hearing this, Thief Saint Bai Wuying paused, but he did not immediately stealthily escape.

After a brief silence, Bai Wuying looked up and met the gaze of the Sun and Moon Demon Queen. He knew perfectly well that the Great Xuan Emperor was currently inside the Sun and Moon Demon Queen's body.

"Before Yuan Qing died, I had already promised her that I would give up all my grudges and retire from the martial world, and I did not intend to seek revenge on you."

Bai Wuying revealed his true form from the darkness of the night, his expression now more serious than ever before, a murderous intent brewing in his eyes. He said:
"However, it seems that things cannot end peacefully between us tonight. Whether it is to eliminate evil and uphold justice or to avenge Yuan Qing, I have no reason not to take action."

Upon hearing this, the Demon Queen of the Sun and Moon, her demonic aura soaring to the heavens, sneered. Nine demonic vortexes swirled behind her, and her demonic aura swept across the heavens and earth like a raging storm. She roared:

"How dare you! You shameless scoundrel, you stole my beloved Consort Yuan, and you still have the nerve to seek revenge on me? Tonight, I will drain you dry and crush your marrow to vent the hatred I have harbored for over a decade!"

The unimaginable increase in strength has given the Sun and Moon Demon Queen enough confidence and arrogance to completely disregard Bai Wuying, the saint among thieves.

Even more so, her eyes, burning with demonic light, suddenly shifted, looking at Li Musheng, who stood in mid-air opposite her, equally radiating demonic energy, and she said in a sinister tone:

"Perfect! Come at me all at once! I'll take on two at once!"

"I will devour all of your martial arts cultivation, and then I will..."

At this point, the Sun and Moon Demon Queen paused, then glanced almost imperceptibly at the Qingyu Daoist who was still meditating with his eyes closed.

Clearly, she was now ambitious and filled with murderous intent, planning to kill Li Musheng and Bai Wuying, and then deal with the other party to become the biggest winner of the night.

However, no sooner had the Sun and Moon Demon Queen finished speaking than Li Musheng's voice drifted over:

"You're getting cocky with just this little bit of strength? If you had my martial arts skills, you'd be on top of the world!"

Li Musheng squinted at the Sun and Moon Demon Queen, whose terrifying and overwhelming demonic aura emanated from her, yet she calmly shook her head and sighed:
"I knew it. I'm too low-key. It's only because of me that I can handle my strength. If it were anyone else, who could resist my power?"

Upon hearing this, the Sun and Moon Demon Queen, Bai Wuying, and the experts from the seven major sects at the foot of the mountain were all visibly stunned.

At this moment, everyone felt that Li Musheng's words were even more "ethereal" than those of the Sun and Moon Demon Queen.

Moreover, this was after the Sun Moon Demon Queen obtained the inheritance of the Demonic Path Ancestor, greatly increasing the strength of the Demonic Path, to the point that even Bai Wuying was extremely wary of her, and she had almost no chance of winning.

However, before everyone could fully react, Li Musheng's voice came again:
"Don't say I didn't give you a chance, all of you come at me at once."

As soon as he finished speaking, as if sensing Li Musheng's gaze, the Qingyu Daoist, who had been sitting cross-legged in the void, suddenly opened his eyes.

Immediately, a terrifying and vast demonic aura swept across the heavens and earth. In an instant, the sky was filled with lurking demonic shadows, and a huge phantom of a demon god emerged from behind Master Qingyu. The demonic aura swirled like a storm, obscuring the sky.

At the same time, the Sun and Moon Demon Queen, having come to her senses, opened her turbid eyes wide and stared intently at the body of Daoist Qingyu.

Ten devouring vortexes could be seen swirling around Master Qingyu in the night sky. These vortexes were deep and dark, like black holes and abysses, merging with the heavens and earth, constantly devouring everything around them.

"Ten demonic vortexes? How is that possible? How could you possibly cultivate the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art to the tenth level, a level only the Grandmaster of the Demonic Path had ever reached, in such a short time?"

The Demon Queen of the Sun and Moon was surrounded by surging demonic light, which seemed somewhat unbelievable.

Compared to Master Qingyu's ten demonic vortexes, the Sun and Moon Demon Queen's nine demonic vortexes, which she was so proud of, were not only one less in number, but the devouring power released by the vortexes was also vastly different!
Upon hearing this, Daoist Qingyu did not answer the Sun and Moon Demon Queen's question. Instead, he looked at Li Musheng opposite him, then stood up and performed a Daoist bow.

“Young Master once risked his life to go to the Great Xuan Palace to save me. I am unwilling to fight with you. Please leave now.”

Upon hearing this, the Sun and Moon Demon Queen's expression changed drastically, and the demonic killing intent in her eyes was almost impossible to suppress.

Clearly, she didn't want to let Li Musheng go, but she wasn't confident she could defeat Daoist Qingyu, so she could only look at him with a gloomy expression and try to persuade him:
"This boy must die, otherwise it's like releasing a tiger back into the mountains, which will surely become a great threat in the future!"
