Chapter 444 The Tomb of the White Emperor
"The White King, grateful for the life-saving grace of the ancient ferocious beast White Tiger, oversaw the construction of a city here after quelling the rebellion in the Western Desert. This is the present-day White Emperor City."

"Although the name Baidi originated from the respectful title for the ferocious beast Baihu, there is another legend that after Baiwang quelled the rebellion, Emperor Tianqi bestowed upon him the title of 'Baidi' and granted him the fief of Baidi City, ordering him to guard the Western Desert for the rest of his life until his death."

"Therefore, in the mouths of later generations, the name of the White Emperor also refers to the White King, the younger brother of the Tianqi Emperor."

……

The young girl, Ah Xiu, recounted the history and origins of Baidi City, but this was clearly not what Li Musheng wanted to know. What he was more interested in was the situation of the ancient ferocious beast, the White Tiger.

Li Musheng glanced at the young girl, Ah Xiu, and waved his hand, saying:

"Tell me about the Hidden Kill Pavilion and the ferocious beast White Tiger. That's the real reason I came to White Emperor City."

At this time, Li Musheng and his party had arrived at the Muli River, which surrounds the oasis. There was only one wooden bridge across the river on the path to Baidi City.

Perhaps because of the upcoming disciple-acceptance ceremony for the genius young man from Baidi City, various forces from the Western Desert and martial arts practitioners who came to watch the spectacle have been flocking to Baidi City recently.

Therefore, when Li Musheng and his group arrived, the area around the Muli River was not deserted; on the contrary, many people had gathered there to cross the river.

The surrounding martial arts practitioners did not pay much attention to the arrival of Li Musheng and his group, after all, they were unfamiliar faces, and even the three Yellow Springs Saint Lords, including Rakshasa Saint Lord, were not people that everyone had seen before.

Moreover, the three of them were covered in soot and their faces were unrecognizable; if you weren't familiar with them, you wouldn't recognize them at all.

At this moment, Ah Xiu, the girl who had heard what Li Musheng said, turned to look at him, a strange expression clearly appearing on her pretty face, and said:
"It seems that Your Highness, the future leader of the Hidden Killing Pavilion, is unaware that the White King I just mentioned, who personally established White Emperor City, was also the founder of the Hidden Killing Pavilion and its first leader."

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng raised an eyebrow. He had never heard of the situation described by the young girl, Ah Xiu, before.

After all, he had only met the current leader of the Hidden Killing Pavilion once before when he was in the capital of Dali, and had never talked about the past of the Hidden Killing Pavilion, so he really didn't know about this matter.

At this moment, Cang Yinyue, who had overheard the conversation between the girl Ah Xiu and Li Musheng, frowned slightly and suddenly said:
"The Hidden Killing Pavilion actually has this connection with the brother of the Heavenly Revelation Emperor? Does this mean the Hidden Killing Pavilion is secretly part of the remnants of the Great Qi Dynasty?"

Upon hearing this, the young girl Ah Xiu shook her head and said:

"As far as I know, the Hidden Killing Pavilion was privately established by the White King back then, and it seems to have no connection with the Great Qi Dynasty. In fact, when the Great Qi Dynasty was destroyed, the Hidden Killing Pavilion was even hired by the five countries to assassinate many experts of the Great Qi Dynasty."

After speaking, the young girl Ah Xiu paused and said to Li Musheng:
"However, I am not a member of the Hidden Killing Pavilion, so I am not truly aware of their stance. If Your Highness is interested, you can investigate it yourself."

Li Musheng looked thoughtful. The Hidden Kill Pavilion had a close relationship with the ancient ferocious beast White Tiger, and it was rumored that the White King had also had a life-and-death relationship with the ferocious beast White Tiger.

If there is a connection between the three as the girl Ah Xiu mentioned, it wouldn't be too surprising. However, upon thinking of this, Li Musheng suddenly had a thought and looked at the girl Ah Xiu, asking:

"Xiuer, after hearing what you just said, I suddenly have a question in my mind: does the Tomb of the White Emperor refer to the tomb of the ancient ferocious beast White Tiger, or the tomb of the White King who was named 'White Emperor'?"

Upon hearing this, the young girl Ah Xiu was slightly taken aback, but she quickly regained her senses.

Then, after a moment's hesitation, she spoke:

"Rumors about the tomb of the White Emperor have been circulating in the Western Desert for a long time, but where exactly is it? And whose tomb is it? Even in White Emperor City, no one can say for sure."

As she spoke, the young girl Ah Xiu fixed her gaze on Li Musheng and said:
"However, based on my investigations over the years, I have a guess: the tomb of the White Emperor may very well be both the tomb of the White King and the burial place of the ancient ferocious beast, the White Tiger."

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng glanced at the young girl, Ah Xiu, and raised an eyebrow, saying:
“Xiuer, your guess is indeed quite clever. If that’s the case, then I don’t need to worry about whether or not to go there.”

Upon hearing this, the young girl Ah Xiu's eyelids twitched, and she said:
"My guess is not a random one, but based on some evidence. The most obvious point is that the ancient ferocious beast White Tiger is in charge of the way of killing, and the Hidden Killing Pavilion is also in charge of the way of killing."

"Since the Hidden Kill Pavilion was founded by that White King, we can infer that when that White King faced death, he may have accidentally entered the burial ground of the ferocious beast White Tiger and obtained its inheritance, which enabled him to turn the tide of the attack from the rebel experts."

"The tomb that the White King built for himself is very likely located on the burial ground of the ferocious beast White Tiger. After all, even the Heavenly Martial Formation, which is said to be able to seal the God of War, could not do anything to that area. It must be the safest place for him to bury himself here."

Li Musheng reached out and touched his chin, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with what the girl Axiu said, because her reasoning was not without merit.

However, Li Musheng's attention was focused on something else at this moment.

"Xiuer, you have always referred to the Tomb of the White Emperor as the burial place of the ancient ferocious beast White Tiger. The implication in your words seems to be that you believe the ancient ferocious beast White Tiger does not exist in this world."

Li Musheng looked at the girl, Ah Xiu, and upon hearing this, Ah Xiu nodded and said:
"Your Highness may not know, but there is a record in the ancient books left by my clan that the ancient ferocious beast White Tiger was a world-destroying beast. Wherever it passed, mountains and rivers collapsed and living beings were devastated. Before the rise of the human race, even the powerful barbarian and ancient tribes became its food."

"It was precisely because of this that, long ago, the Barbarian and Wilderness tribes exhausted countless resources and devoted all their strength to the cause, ultimately attracting divine punishment to destroy the ferocious beast White Tiger, thus saving the Barbarian and Wilderness tribes from the danger of extinction!"

"That's why I said that the ferocious beast White Tiger has long since disappeared, leaving only its remains and remnants of its heritage. In addition, there has never been any sign of the ancient ferocious beast White Tiger appearing in the world in the past thousands of years, which can also prove this point from another angle."

After listening to the girl Ah Xiu's answer, Li Musheng pondered for a moment, then looked at her and continued to ask:
"In the legends of this world, there is not only the ancient ferocious beast White Tiger, but also divine beasts such as Azure Dragon, Qilin, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. I wonder if your clan has any records of the other four divine beasts?"
