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

"We'll have to make another trip."

Li Musheng beckoned to the big black cat, then moved and headed towards a certain place in the city.

Seeing this, the Earthly Ancestor frowned, but then he heard the voice of the Great Chu King Xun asking:

"Old General, how is the condition of the curse on your body?"

The Earthly Ancestor shook his head, looked down at his hands which were entangled in faintly visible incantations, and said:
"Although I can barely suppress them, these things are like a bone-deep infection. I cannot completely get rid of them for the time being."

"Perhaps only by finding out who is behind these incantations can we completely resolve this issue."

Upon hearing this, King Xun of Great Chu's expression clearly darkened, and he quickly replied:

"Let's follow that Prince of Dali first. If there's an opportunity, we might be able to ask him to remove the curse on the old general."

The Earthly Ancestor sighed softly and said:

"Judging from the actions of this prince of Dali just now, his strength is indeed worthy of his reputation. However, the one who tied the knot must untie it. The curse I am afflicted with is extremely complex. If I want to resolve this matter, I'm afraid only those with profound martial arts cultivation can do so."

King Xun of Great Chu naturally understood what the Earthly Ancestor meant: to completely resolve this strange incantation, the culprit must be found.

However, after only a brief moment of contemplation, he continued:
"The incantation on the old general's body is undoubtedly a sword hanging over his head. We still have no idea what the person who set it up wants to do."

"I know my strength is limited, and I would be unable to help the old general if we were in real danger. However, in my opinion, the best choice now is to stay by the side of that prince."

Upon hearing this, the Earthly Ancestor glanced at King Xun of Great Chu. He naturally understood the other party's meaning and sighed, saying:

“Even if we stay by his side, he might not necessarily help me.”

However, King Xun of Great Chu shook his head and said:
"Even if His Highness doesn't take action, we can still take advantage of the situation."

"Moreover, I always have a feeling that the safest place in the entire Tomb of the White Emperor is right next to that prince."

Upon hearing this, the Earthly Ancestor narrowed his eyes slightly and said:

"Your Highness truly thinks highly of that Prince of Dali."

As he spoke, he nodded again and said:
"However, since Your Highness has said so, I will naturally do as you say. Besides, even if I go into seclusion immediately, I probably won't be able to do anything about these incantations, so I might as well take a gamble."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Earthly Ancestor turned to look in the direction where Li Musheng and the big black cat had disappeared. Without saying anything more, he grabbed the Great Chu Xun King and quickly chased after them.

……

At the same time, underground in the city illuminated by pillars of light from all four directions, as soon as the Seventh Ancestor finished speaking, the Fifth Ancestor, the Sixth Ancestor, and the Master of Green Mountain Tower all hurriedly looked at the star map compass in his hand.

Above the compass, a river of stars, like the night sky, floated. The previously hidden Venus was rising from within it, its radiance as dazzling as a bright pearl and the rising sun.

The compass star chart then spun rapidly, as if the stars were shifting and the constellations were moving. A layer of hazy starlight suddenly scattered, as if in an instant it had pierced through the entire underground White Emperor City with Venus as the center.

Suddenly, the star chart compass in the Seventh Patriarch's hand rose up on its own and merged into the evening star, turning into a fleeting streak of light and disappearing into the distance.

"Hurry up and follow!" The Seventh Ancestor left only one sentence, and then he, along with the Fifth Ancestor, the Sixth Ancestor, and the Master of Green Mountain Tower, set off almost simultaneously without hesitation, disappearing from their original positions and immediately following the streak of light.

The experts from the Jingjue Ancient City and the Qingshan Tower, who were a little slower to react, followed closely behind. The young man in green and the young woman in red who were originally following the Fifth Ancestor and the Seventh Ancestor were all taken away by the experts from the Jingjue Ancient City.

Only the young girl Ah Xiu was temporarily brought into the White Emperor's Tomb by the Sixth Patriarch. Before that, she had been staying in the town far from the core of the clan and had no close followers or confidants.

Therefore, in the blink of an eye, everyone disappeared with that streak of starlight, except for the relatively weak girl Ah Xiu, who was left behind and had no time to react. She was left all alone and could not keep up with the others.

Seeing this, the girl Ah Xiu glanced at the empty surroundings, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes. However, she quickly recovered and immediately took a deep breath and used all her movement techniques to chase after the direction in which everyone had disappeared.

At this moment, the Sixth Patriarch and the others only had the White King's Tomb and the clan's grand plans in their eyes, and they couldn't care less about her. Although her martial arts strength and speed were not as good as the clan's experts, she could only rely on herself for the time being.

However, after the young girl Ah Xiu could no longer find any trace of her clansmen, she could only barely follow the general direction and chase after them for a short distance.

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang in her ears:

"Xiuer, why are you wandering around here all by yourself?"

At this moment, the young girl Ah Xiu was using all her strength to catch up with her clansmen, fully circulating her true energy to maximize her speed, and her whole body was in a state of extreme tension.

Upon first hearing the voice, the girl Ah Xiu thought she was hallucinating. However, the next moment, while she was running at high speed, she was suddenly grabbed by a giant hand of true energy that appeared out of nowhere.

The young girl, Ah Xiu, was clearly startled. Grabbed by the giant hand of true energy, she turned around abruptly, only to see Li Musheng standing in mid-air behind her.

"you……"

The young girl, Ah Xiu, looked visibly stunned, while Li Musheng casually released the giant hand of true energy that had been gripping her. He glanced around, saw no one else, and then asked:
"How did you get in?"

Upon hearing this, the girl Ah Xiu gradually came to her senses and turned to look at the distance behind her. There seemed to be a pair of bright green eyes rapidly approaching them.

The young girl, Ah Xiu, quickly guessed that it might be the big cat. Then, Ah Xiu looked away and glanced at Li Musheng in front of her.

She didn't hide anything and quickly recounted how she and her clansmen entered the Tomb of the White Emperor.

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng stroked his chin meaningfully and said:

"As expected, there really is another master of Qingshan Tower."

The young girl, Ah Xiu, naturally didn't understand what Li Musheng meant, but Li Musheng didn't explain either.

While waiting for the big black cat to follow behind, he asked where the remnants of the Jingjue Ancient City had gone.

The young girl, Ah Xiu, remained silent for a moment. Finding the White King's tomb was an extremely important matter for the remnants of the Jingjue Ancient City, and naturally, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

From her perspective as a member of the clan, she naturally hesitated whether to tell the truth about such important news.

However, the young girl, Ah Xiu, thought again that Li Musheng's appearance here was most likely not an accident; perhaps he actually knew something. (End of Chapter)
