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

Chapter 469 Fear

Just as the righteous martial arts masters of the Western Desert were about to eliminate the fleeing demonic cultivators, in the courtyard where Li Musheng was, the woman in red robes knelt on one knee and respectfully bowed, saying:

"I am here on the orders of the sect's Holy Maiden to request an audience with the Demon Lord."

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng glanced at the woman in front of him, raised an eyebrow, and said:

"Don't give me random nicknames. Tell me, what exactly does Han Meiyan want with me?"

The woman in the red robe slightly raised her head, secretly glancing at Li Musheng, her heart undoubtedly filled with excitement.

All the demonic cultivators who had fled outside longed to see this suddenly appearing great demon. She, too, had long heard of Li Musheng's formidable reputation, and now that she had finally met him in person, her heart was naturally filled with unease.

However, the woman in the red robe tried her best to suppress her emotions and quickly replied:

"Your Majesty, ever since the Holy Maiden parted ways with you in the capital of the Great Xuan Dynasty, she has guessed that you might come to the White Emperor City this time."

"So not long ago, she sent a message to me, asking me to make sure that this secret letter is delivered to you."

As she spoke, the woman in the red robe took out a wax-sealed letter from her bosom and presented it to Li Musheng with both hands.

Seeing this, Li Musheng casually grabbed the secret letter handed to him by the woman in red robes and opened it.

After quickly skimming through the contents of the secret letter, Li Musheng's eyes lit up slightly.

The secret message from Han Meiyan actually brought some good news.

According to Han Meiyan, the Six Desires Demon Sect was recently hunting down a traitorous elder when the elder hid in a deep mountain forest within the territory of the Great Chu.

The experts from the Six Desires Demon Sect naturally followed closely behind, and in the deep mountains and forests, the experts from the Six Desires Demon Sect fought fiercely with the traitorous elder.

During their battle, they inadvertently entered an ancient village, where the experts of the Six Desires Demon Sect discovered traces of the Qilin Holy Sect.

They even found a small bottle of the blood of the mythical fire qilin in a secret cave at an altar in the village.

After obtaining the Qilin Blood, the Six Desires Demon Sect experts who had been chasing the traitorous elder immediately stopped their pursuit and planned to return to the Six Desires Demon Sect with the Qilin Blood.

However, on their way back to the sect, the experts of the Six Desires Demon Sect died one after another inexplicably, and the Qilin blood they had obtained was lost. Only one expert of the Six Desires Demon Sect, who was seriously injured and on the verge of death, desperately tried to send the news back to the sect.

Upon learning of this, the Six Desires Demon Sect was naturally furious. The sect leader ordered all members of the Six Desires Demon Sect to return to the sect immediately, demanding that they find the true culprit who killed the sect's experts and retrieve the lost Qilin blood.

After receiving the message from the Six Desires Demon Sect, Han Meiyan immediately informed Li Musheng.

With a casual wave of his hand, Li Musheng sent the secret letter in his hand turning into ashes that drifted down.

"This time, the blood of the Qilin has actually appeared within the territory of the Great Chu."

Li Musheng looked thoughtful. Since there was news of Qilin blood, he naturally had to make the trip.

Moreover, he had previously received intelligence from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion that his sworn sister had actually agreed to the marriage coerced by the Great Chu into forming an alliance with the Great Li.

Although Li Musheng would have to take a long detour to go to Da Chu after returning from Baidi City to Da Li, he had actually planned to make a trip to Da Chu long ago.

Now that he has received a message from Han Meiyan, not to mention his sworn sister, even if it's just for the sake of the Qilin blood, he has no choice but to go.

Thinking of this, Li Musheng looked at the woman in red robes before him and said:

"Go back and tell Han Meiyan that I have received the letter, and tell her to wait for me in Da Chu."

Upon hearing this, the woman in the red robe immediately agreed, but never inquired about the contents of the secret letter.

However, she didn't leave immediately. Instead, she secretly observed Li Musheng for a while before hesitatingly speaking:

"My Lord Demon Lord, why didn't you accept those followers from the demonic path just now?"

"Because I don't need it."

With a casual wave of his hand, Li Musheng sent the woman in red silently out of the courtyard.

As the courtyard door slowly closed again, the woman in the red robe stared blankly at the tightly closed door for a moment, her expression shifting uncertainly.

But she didn't linger there long and quickly disappeared.

After the woman in red left, the area in front of Li Musheng's residence fell silent again, except for the seven people from the White Tiger Temple who remained kneeling motionless in the street.

And so, nearly half a day passed.

Under the watchful eyes of the surrounding martial arts figures, nothing else happened at Li Musheng's residence. Apart from the seven people kneeling in front of the gate, not a single passerby came by.

"What's going on? Why is there no movement from the White Tiger Temple?"

At this moment, not only were Lianxing and the other assassins from the Hidden Kill Pavilion, who were hiding in the shadows, but also a group of martial arts masters from various forces in the Western Desert were filled with astonishment and doubt.

Logically speaking, Li Musheng, this great demon, not only suppressed the people from the White Tiger Temple, but also made seven people, including five temple elders, kneel in public on the street in front of the temple.

The White Tiger Temple has been so humiliated; no matter what, the White Tiger Temple, which governs White Emperor City, will absolutely not let this go unpunished.

To everyone's surprise, half a day after the five White Tiger Temple elders were suppressed by Li Musheng, not a single person from the White Tiger Temple appeared.

"That shouldn't be the case. Could it be that even the White Tiger Temple is afraid of this great demon?"

One of the group of martial arts practitioners spoke up, but no one around offered an answer.

Throughout the entire Western Desert, the White Tiger Temple is as mysterious as a mirage, and very few people know its details.

However, there is no doubt that the White Tiger Temple's ability to control White Emperor City, one of the six major powers in the Western Desert, speaks volumes about its strength.

However, even the Yellow Springs Department, which only has three Holy Lords in charge, dared to attack Li Musheng, this great demon, while the White Tiger Temple actually backed down, which was obviously beyond everyone's expectations.

At the same time, the former leader of the Hidden Killing Pavilion and the Killing Saint, who were searching for the location of the White Emperor's Tomb with the big black cat in White Emperor City, both stopped in their tracks.

What's your opinion on this?

The former leader of the Hidden Killing Pavilion suddenly spoke up and asked a question, while the Killing Saint shook his head and said:

"To be honest, I don't believe the White Tiger Temple will just let this go."

Upon hearing this, the former leader of the Hidden Kill Pavilion looked towards the residence where Li Musheng was and said, "You are right. The White Tiger Temple has always regarded the Hidden Kill Pavilion as its own, and naturally it will never allow the loss of the Hidden Kill Pavilion to happen, especially since the one in charge of the Hidden Kill Pavilion is such a great demon."

The Slaughter Saint narrowed his eyes slightly, turned to look at the Hidden Killing Pavilion Master, and said:

"What do you think the White Tiger Temple is plotting?"

"What are they plotting? I don't know, but after sending five elders to their deaths, they haven't made any further moves. I can guess that, apart from their usual caution, the White Tiger Temple is genuinely wary of the new Pavilion Master of the Hidden Kill Pavilion."

The former leader of the Hidden Kill Pavilion sneered, then glanced at the large black cat beside him and said:
"Your master is probably in danger this time. The White Tiger Temple, which has always been high and mighty, has actually been able to endure this humiliation. It is probably planning a big event."

"Based on my understanding of the White Tiger Temple over the years, I'm afraid their move is aimed at completely eliminating this new leader of the Hidden Killing Pavilion."

As he spoke, the former leader of the Hidden Kill Pavilion stared intently at the large black cat, as if trying to discern something from this cat, which seemed to harbor a divine being behind it.

However, to his obvious surprise, the big black cat remained unmoved upon hearing that Li Musheng was in imminent danger.

He was still focused on finding the location of the White Emperor's tomb, seemingly unconcerned about Li Musheng's current situation.

Even more so, when the big black cat saw that the former leader of the Hidden Killing Pavilion and the Killing Saint were not working but just standing there chatting, it immediately stretched out its paw and pointed at the two of them, clearly scolding them for slacking off.

"interesting."

The indistinct-faced Killer Saint stared at the large black cat, his expression shifting slightly.

Clearly, the large black cat in front of them had overheard their conversation, but rather had an extraordinary level of trust in Li Musheng and was not worried at all that anything might happen to him.

At this moment, the former leader of the Hidden Kill Pavilion coughed lightly, seemingly to cover his embarrassment, and said to the big black cat:
"The reason I said all that was to tell you that no matter what happens, the two of us will definitely stand on the side of the Pavilion Master."

Seeing how loyal the big black cat was to Li Musheng, even the former master of the Hidden Kill Pavilion was worried that the big black cat would go back and complain to the other party.

Unbeknownst to the two, the big black cat was completely focused on finding the White Emperor's tomb and had no interest in paying attention to them.

This was not only an important task entrusted to it by Li Musheng, but more importantly, Li Musheng had promised to give it a great reward after it was accomplished.

……

After the White Tiger Temple showed no further signs of attacking Li Musheng in the courtyard, the group of martial arts masters from the Western Desert, who had become suspicious, stopped keeping a close watch and gradually began to retreat.

However, the news from this place naturally spread quickly among the various forces in Baidi City.

Before long, news that the White Tiger Temple dared not make a move against the new leader of the Hidden Kill Pavilion, this great demon, spread among almost all the martial artists in White Emperor City.

Meanwhile, under the cover of assassins from the Hidden Kill Pavilion, the young girl Ah Xiu and the Fifth Elder had already silently left the residence where Li Musheng was.

Afterwards, the girl Axiu and her companions wandered around the streets and alleys of Baidi City for a while before finally taking the initiative to find the place where they were to meet their clansmen.

Upon seeing the young girl Ah Xiu and the Fifth Elder and the others return, the Third Elder and the others naturally inquired about Li Musheng, the new leader of the Hidden Killing Pavilion, as soon as possible.

However, the young girl Ah Xiu didn't say much about it. She simply recounted her interactions with Li Musheng before speaking to the Third Elder:

"I have urgent business to attend to with the clan elders. I would be grateful if my third uncle could take me there."

Upon hearing this, the Third Elder frowned, glanced at the young girl Ah Xiu, and shook his head, saying:
“The clan elders are not people you can meet with just anyone. If you have any urgent matters, you can tell me first, and I will pass on the message.”

The young girl, Ah Xiu, hesitated for a moment, but still secretly transmitted her voice to the Third Elder:

"This matter is related to the Tomb of the White Emperor. The Eighth Prince of Dali also wants to enter the Tomb of the White Emperor. Moreover, he has the key to open the Tomb of the White Emperor, the White Tiger Fang."

"Furthermore, he seems to have a way to find the location of the White Emperor's Tomb..."

Upon hearing this, the Third Elder's expression immediately changed, and he stared at the young girl, Ah Xiu, with a serious face, asking:

Are you sure this is true?

The young girl, Ah Xiu, nodded. Seeing this, the Third Elder's face clearly showed urgency, and he muttered to himself:

"It's being said throughout the city that even the White Tiger Temple is afraid of that great demon who controls the Hidden Killing Pavilion. Now that he's set his sights on the Tomb of the White Emperor, this is not a good thing."

As he spoke, the Third Elder immediately stood up and addressed the young girl, Ah Xiu:
“I can’t make that decision either. I’ll take you to see the clan elders yourself. You can talk to them about the situation yourself.”

Upon hearing this, the young girl Ah Xiu readily agreed. Moreover, in her opinion, she had gained some understanding of Li Musheng after spending time with him.

The Tomb of the White Emperor involves the interests of Li Musheng and the clan. To avoid the elders making a misjudgment, it would be best to meet them in person.

Not long after, led by the Third Elder, the young girl Ah Xiu arrived at the mansion that the Third Elder had visited before.

After that, the two went to the ancestral hall behind the house to request an audience.

"You mean the new leader of the Hidden Killing Pavilion can also find the Tomb of the White Emperor?"

Just as the Sixth Patriarch, nearing the end of his life, appeared in the main hall of the ancestral temple after listening to the young girl A-Xiu's account.

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, he should find the location of the White Emperor's Tomb soon."

The young girl, Ah Xiu, stood outside the ancestral hall and bowed her head in reply. Upon hearing this, the Sixth Ancestor in the main hall of the ancestral hall remained silent for a moment, then slowly said:
"It seems that the Hidden Killing Pavilion has also been eyeing the Tomb of the White Emperor for some time."

As he spoke, the Sixth Patriarch seemed to look through the courtyard wall at the young girl Ah Xiu outside the courtyard, and said:

"You just said that the new leader of the Hidden Killing Pavilion made a boastful claim to you that once you enter the Tomb of the White Emperor, everything inside will be under his control?"

Upon hearing this, the young girl, Ah Xiu, slightly raised her head and glanced towards the ancestral hall courtyard, saying:
“That prince did say that, but based on what I know of him, what he wants is likely different from what our clan wants.”

"Different? Then tell me, what exactly does that infamous demon who is now known throughout the entire White Emperor City want?"

The Sixth Patriarch's voice came again from the ancestral hall, while the young girl, Ah Xiu, shook her head and said:

"I'm not sure what he wants."

Then, she changed the subject and said:
"However, based on my observation, there are very few things that can interest that prince, and his trip to Baidi City may not even be for the Hidden Kill Pavilion."

“When I spoke with that prince before, I found that he didn’t seem interested in the Hidden Kill Pavilion or the White Tiger Temple. He was only interested in the rumors about the ancient ferocious beast, the White Tiger.”

"If the Sixth Patriarch insists on asking me what this person really wants, then the only answer I can give is probably the ancient ferocious beast, the White Tiger itself."
