Chapter 459 The Secret of the Assassination Order

"Not only does the Hidden Kill Pavilion inherit the killing path of the ancient ferocious beast White Tiger, but the White Tiger Temple also cultivates the killing legacy of the ferocious beast White Tiger."

The Hidden Kill Pavilion Master looked at Li Musheng and spoke, noticing a clear look of confusion on his face. He continued:

"I know Your Highness must be wondering, since both the Hidden Kill Pavilion and the White Tiger Temple received the inheritance of the ferocious beast White Tiger, why is the Hidden Kill Pavilion subject to the White Tiger Temple?"

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng remained silent, simply allowing the Hidden Killing Pavilion Master to continue speaking.

"The reason for this lies in the fact that the essence of the White Tiger's killing method, as passed down by the White King, is the eight words 'stop killing with killing, suppress killing with killing'."

"The Hidden Kill Pavilion, as an assassin organization, cultivates the way of assassination and stealth, while the White Tiger Temple inherits the more powerful and righteous way of killing, which is the true killing essence of the ferocious beast White Tiger."

"The White Tiger Temple is in charge of killing everything, and there is nowhere to hide under the killing intent. It is just right to restrain and suppress the Hidden Killing Pavilion's Hidden Killing Way. Moreover, when the White King founded the Hidden Killing Pavilion and passed down the killing techniques, he deliberately passed down an incomplete killing inheritance, intending to keep the Hidden Killing Pavilion in check."

The Hidden Kill Pavilion Master spoke slowly, then sighed and said:
"In the end, the White Tiger Temple is the true legacy that the White King intended to pass down, while the Hidden Kill Pavilion is merely a sharp weapon left behind by the White King for his descendants to use."

"What outsiders don't know is that the Hidden Killing Pavilion has always existed because of the White Tiger Temple, and the White Tiger Temple is the true controller of the Hidden Killing Pavilion. This is a fact that even I cannot change."

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng looked thoughtful. The Hidden Kill Pavilion Master had actually made it very clear to him that the Hidden Kill Pavilion could not contend with the White Tiger Temple, and that the will of the White Tiger Temple was the ultimate will.

At this moment, the Hidden Killer of the Hidden Killing Pavilion hesitated for a moment before saying:
"We hope Your Highness can understand that it is not that we do not support Your Highness's rebellion against the White Tiger Temple, but that although we are worthy of being called Killing Saints, we can only be suppressed by the White Tiger Temple and are truly powerless."

Li Musheng picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip, his face revealing no emotion. The Hidden Killing Pavilion Master and Killing Saint fell silent after speaking, seemingly waiting for Li Musheng to make a decision.

Soon, Li Musheng put down his teacup, then gave the Hidden Killing Pavilion Master and the Killing Saint a deep look, and said:
"What I said before is my stance, and it will not change."

"I'll say it again, I'm not very interested in the Hidden Killing Pavilion, but from now on, I am the Pavilion Master of the Hidden Killing Pavilion."

As he spoke, Li Musheng's gaze fell upon the Hidden Kill Pavilion Master, who was wearing a bronze mask, and he said:
"Take this matter seriously and immediately spread the news to everyone in the Hidden Kill Pavilion and the entire martial arts world."

Upon hearing this, the Hidden Killing Pavilion Master and the Killing Saint exchanged a glance, neither of them intending to dissuade Li Musheng any further, and immediately agreed.

"Once this news gets out, the White Tiger Temple will definitely not let it go. Your Highness, please make preparations as soon as possible."

The leader of the Hidden Kill Pavilion spoke up to remind him, but his expression was unreadable beneath his bronze mask.

Li Musheng remained calm and then beckoned to the courtyard outside the main hall. The large black cat, which had been lying on the courtyard wall, immediately lit up when it saw this and leaped down from the wall, turning into a black shadow and rushing towards Li Musheng.

Soon, the big black cat darted to Li Musheng's feet, meowed softly, and its pair of green cat eyes kept glancing at the Hidden Killing Pavilion Master and Killing Saint in the main hall.

However, the big black cat naturally knew how powerful these two old men were, so it had no intention of provoking them.

"The White Tiger Temple matter isn't urgent. Next, let's talk about something I'm more interested in." Li Musheng spoke slowly, then raised his hand and grabbed the big black cat. The Hidden Kill Token, which was originally worn as a collar around the big black cat's neck, instantly flew up and landed in Li Musheng's hand.

"When we were in the capital of Dali, I mentioned the Hidden Kill Order to you. I wonder if you have made any progress on this matter?"

Li Musheng looked at the Hidden Kill Pavilion Master, who, after a moment's thought upon seeing the collar in Li Musheng's hand, said:
"After I returned from Shangyang City, I did investigate this matter. The Hidden Kill Order is extremely important and special to the Hidden Kill Pavilion. According to the pavilion's records, the Hidden Kill Order was passed down by the White King and may have come from the burial place of the ancient ferocious beast, the White Tiger."

As he spoke, the Hidden Kill Pavilion Master then turned his gaze to the large black cat beside Li Musheng, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said:

"As for His Highness's statement that the Hidden Kill Order would react to a cat, that is truly too bizarre. There is no clear record of it in the Hidden Kill Pavilion."

"However, after consulting the ancient books in the pavilion, I have some speculations about this matter. I wonder if Your Highness would be interested in hearing them?"

Upon hearing this, the big black cat's eyes darted around, while Li Musheng nodded, signaling the Hidden Kill Pavilion Master to continue.

The fact that the big black cat reacted with the Hidden Kill Order by emitting golden light did indeed pique his curiosity and interest, but that wasn't his real purpose in coming to White Emperor City, and he didn't actually have much time to investigate.

If the current leader of the Hidden Killing Pavilion could unravel the mystery, that would be the best outcome.

At this moment, the Pavilion Master of the Hidden Kill Pavilion pondered for a moment and said:

"Your Highness should remember that I mentioned the White Tiger Ferocious Fate before. Although there is no glowing reaction between the Hidden Killing Order and the person with the White Tiger Ferocious Fate, there is a special connection between them in the dark."

"As far as I know from my research, among the many people with the White Tiger inauspicious fate, there is actually a very special kind of fate."

At this point, the Hidden Killer Pavilion Master narrowed his eyes and stared at the big black cat, as if trying to see through it.

When the big black cat faced the gaze of the Hidden Kill Pavilion Master, its fur stood on end, and it quickly hid behind Li Musheng.

The Hidden Kill Pavilion Master withdrew his gaze from the large black cat that was hiding, and then spoke meaningfully:

"Your Highness, this cat is probably no ordinary cat. I suspect that a divine being resides within it."

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng nodded slightly. It wasn't surprising that the other party, as the master of the Hidden Killing Pavilion, knew about the existence of a divine being.

At this moment, seeing that Li Musheng had confirmed his guess, the Hidden Kill Pavilion Master gave a deep look at the large black cat that had poked its head out from behind Li Musheng, and said:
"The reason this cat was able to react to the Hidden Kill Order is that the divine being behind it must also possess the fierce and malevolent destiny of the White Tiger,"

"Moreover, his White Tiger Fierce Fate must be extremely unusual, and it is very likely that he has the same fate as the White King from a thousand years ago!"

Upon hearing this, not only Li Musheng and the big black cat with its ears perked up, but even the Killing Saint of the Hidden Killing Pavilion standing to the side showed obvious signs of surprise.
