Chapter 418 Blind Man
Unlike the previous towns, Huangquan City is one of the largest settlements in the Western Desert, so it is densely populated and extremely lively.

The streets paved with stone slabs and dirt were filled with a constant stream of people, as well as camel caravans carrying various materials such as spices, cloth, and furs. The air was filled with the shouts of vendors in exotic languages.

The girl rode a camel, leading Li Musheng and the others through the crowded streets and alleys. The shops and houses on both sides were mostly flat-roofed mud-brick buildings, but the doors and walls were painted with various colors, which gave them a unique flavor.

The group stopped at an inn, tied their camels to the wooden railing, and then entered the bustling inn.

The young woman summoned the waiter and ordered a table of food and a jar of strong liquor. She casually removed the veil from her face and said calmly:
"The customs and culture of the Western Desert are different from those of the Five Great Dynasties. If you have nothing to do, you can wander around Huangquan City and broaden your horizons."

As she spoke, the girl broke the clay seal on the wine jar, poured herself a large bowl, and then drank it all down in one gulp.

Li Musheng glanced at the girl wiping the wine from the corner of her mouth and said:

"Xiuer, you're not that old, but I didn't expect you to be such a drunkard."

"This reminds me of a girl I met before. She was quite old, but she had mastered a special martial art and could turn into a child and act young everywhere."

The girl called herself Ah Xiu, while Li Musheng often called her Xiu'er in a wicked way.

Although the girl's sixth sense vaguely felt that something was wrong, she didn't know the reference, so she could only let Li Musheng call her that.

"I am eleven years old this year, and I am genuine and honest, young and old alike."

The young girl, Ah Xiu, poured herself another bowl of strong liquor, squinted at Li Musheng, and said:
"However, I am quite curious about the martial art you mentioned. I wonder if you have ever practiced it?"

In the eyes of the young girl Ah Xiu, if there really was a martial art like the one Li Musheng described, then Li Musheng was probably an old monster who had transformed into his current young appearance.

In this way, it makes sense that the other party possesses strength that even she fears.

However, Li Musheng did not answer the girl Axiu's question. Instead, he turned his gaze to a certain spot in the lobby of the inn.

The young girl, Ah Xiu, downed the glass of strong liquor she had poured. The burning sensation went down her throat, and she couldn't help but let out a "hiss." Then, she frowned slightly and looked in the direction of Li Musheng's gaze.

In a corner of the inn's lobby, which was almost full of patrons, a man with disheveled hair sat alone drinking, looking somewhat out of place in the noisy atmosphere around him.

"What? Is there something wrong with this person?"

A hint of suspicion flashed in the eyes of the young girl, Ah Xiu. Upon hearing this, Cao Gaoshan, Cang Yinyue, and the others subconsciously looked in the direction Ah Xiu was looking.

The big black cat was gnawing on a leg of lamb, its bright green eyes gleaming. Anyone who could catch Li Musheng's eye was someone it wanted to look at closely.

At that moment, the man in the corner of the inn’s lobby seemed to sense the gazes from the girl Ah Xiu and her companions. He stopped raising his wine glass to his lips and turned around.

In an instant, everyone saw the man's pair of eyes full of white pupils, and his face was even more terrifying, covered with dense and hideous scars that made people's scalps tingle.

The lamb leg that the big black cat was carrying in its mouth fell onto the table. It meowed instinctively, clearly startled by the face and its appetite was also affected.

Cao Gaoshan and his companions remained relatively calm, subtly withdrawing their gazes.

The man was clearly blind, but although he shouldn't be able to see them, he gave off a vague, unsettling feeling. "This man has a rather strong murderous aura."

At this moment, Li Musheng said something indifferently and stopped paying attention to the other party.

The young girl, Ah Xiu, frowned deeply, her gaze fixed on the blind man. He seemed to be just an ordinary person with a disability, but he gave her a sense of danger.

What the young girl Ah Xiu didn't know was that in Li Musheng's eyes, although this blind man's strength was very average, the hidden killing intent and baleful aura within him were something he had never seen before, even surpassing the Hidden Killing Pavilion Killing Saint he had met in the capital of Dali.

This also means that this person not only emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, but also possessed extremely high attainments in the path of killing.

"That person is very likely an assassin from the Hidden Kill Pavilion?"

Seeing the blind man calmly turn his head as if nothing had happened, the girl Ah Xiu immediately looked at Li Musheng and whispered her guess.

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng did not agree with the young girl Axiu, because although he was about to take over as the next leader of the Hidden Kill Pavilion, he was really not very familiar with the Hidden Kill Pavilion.

However, since the topic had come up, Li Musheng followed up with a question:
"Xiuer, I see you have some knowledge. I wonder how much you know about the Hidden Killing Pavilion?"

Upon hearing this, the young girl, Ah Xiu, continued to pour herself another full glass of wine while shaking her head and saying:

"The Hidden Killing Pavilion is a notorious assassin organization throughout the martial arts world. You people from the five great dynasties should all know something about it."

As she spoke, the young girl Ah Xiu glanced at the blind man in the far corner and said:
"However, although the Hidden Killing Pavilion is headquartered in Baidi City, it is not the largest force that controls Baidi City."

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng and the others were all taken aback.

Clearly, according to their subconscious, the Hidden Killing Pavilion, a killer organization that is renowned throughout the martial arts world, could easily dominate the White Emperor City, if not hold the top position among the six major forces in the Western Desert.

But Ah Xiu's words surprised everyone. Li Musheng looked at her suspiciously and raised an eyebrow, saying:
"Is the Hidden Kill Pavilion so lowly? Then tell me, what is the biggest power in White Emperor City?"

Upon hearing this, the young girl, Ah Xiu, also glanced at Li Musheng and the others with suspicion, wondering why they were reacting so strongly.

However, she was already a little drunk. Her face flushed, she downed the wine in her bowl in one gulp, and explained with a burp:
"You don't know this? The White Tiger Temple is the one that controls White Emperor City."

"The Hidden Killer Pavilion is indeed a formidable assassin organization renowned throughout the martial arts world, but in White Emperor City, it still has to be subordinate to the White Tiger Temple."

Upon hearing this, Cao Gaoshan frowned, somewhat puzzled, and asked:

"The Hidden Kill Pavilion has countless assassins, and more than one Killing Saint is in charge. Even the courts of the five kingdoms under heaven are wary of it. What ability does the White Tiger Temple have that allows it to suppress them?"

Cang Yinyue and the others also looked at the girl Axiu, Cao Gaoshan's words were clearly the same question they had at this moment.

After all, the Western Desert and the Great Li are separated by a Great Xuan, and the two are far apart. They really don't know much about the situation in the Western Desert, and they have never heard of the White Tiger Temple before.
