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

How should we handle this situation?

Facing the cold gazes cast upon her from the entire floor, the young girl Ah Xiu felt a chill run down her spine and turned to look at Li Musheng, asking a question.

Li Musheng simply told the maid in front to continue leading the way, shook his head, and replied:

"You don't understand. Right now, it's not me who should be thinking about how to deal with them, but rather how they should be thinking about how to deal with us."

Upon hearing this, the maid glanced back at Li Musheng, then turned back again and said:
"Guest, you have caused too much commotion. The entire White Emperor Tower has probably been alerted by now."

As soon as the maid finished speaking, an aged voice suddenly came from the end of the corridor, saying:
"What you just did was far too reckless, and in the end, it will only prevent us from ever leaving this place!"

Upon hearing the voice, a strange light flashed in the eyes of the young girl, Ah Xiu. She focused her gaze on the end of the corridor from which the voice came, and hurriedly asked tentatively:

"Is that you, the Seventh Patriarch?"

"It is I."

The aged voice came again, warning in a deep voice:

"If you don't want to create an irreparable situation, you should immediately return to where you came from. Only when we completely crack this building will you have a chance to escape this place!"

Upon hearing this, the young girl Ah Xiu's expression shifted, and she then turned her gaze to Li Musheng beside her.

Clearly, she was unsure whether what the Seventh Patriarch said was true or false, or even whether the other party's identity was genuine. Therefore, she could only seek help from Li Musheng and follow his judgment and decision.

"Continue leading the way."

Li Musheng did not respond to anything, but simply gestured for the maid to continue walking forward.

"I am acting out of concern for everyone trapped here. Your insistence on going your own way will only lead to everyone's demise!"

The Seventh Patriarch's voice rang out again, clearly more urgent than before.

After receiving Li Musheng's instructions, the maid who was leading the way said nothing and calmly walked towards the entrance of the fifth floor.

Li Musheng gestured for the girl Ah Xiu and the big black cat to follow, glanced upstairs, and finally responded to the voice of the Seventh Ancestor:
"What makes you think I'm trapped here?"

Upon hearing this, the maid leading the way hesitated for a moment, but quickly regained her composure and continued walking.

After a moment of silence, the Seventh Patriarch's voice rang out again, saying:

"Arrogant! You have no idea where you are!"

"I will not allow you to run rampant here under any circumstances, otherwise, we will all be killed by you!"

As soon as the Seventh Patriarch finished speaking, a giant hand shrouded in billowing black mist suddenly emerged from the end of the corridor the maid was heading towards.

The giant hand came straight towards Li Musheng and his companions, swirling with a sinister and terrifying aura. Wherever it passed, thick fog enveloped the surrounding area, and all the people who were standing still in the corridor instantly turned into dust and vanished.

In the blink of an eye, the giant black mist palm arrived above Li Musheng and the others, and then crashed down.

Li Musheng remained calm throughout, and with a casual wave of his hand, the terrifying black mist giant hand vanished as if from smoke, and the corridor in front of him returned to its previous clarity.

You'll regret this!

The next moment, the Seventh Ancestor's angry voice rang out, but he did not continue to attack.

"So he was hiding on the seventh floor."

Li Musheng looked towards the end of the corridor, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "Remember this palm strike for now. If you dare to strike again, you will bear the consequences."

Having said that, Li Musheng instructed the maid in front of him:

"Go straight to the seventh floor. There's nothing of value on the floors below. Even if there were, those old geezers would probably have looted it all."

Upon hearing this, the maid turned and glanced at Li Musheng, explaining:
"Guest, you may not know this, but the truly important things in the White Emperor Tower are all managed by the Empress. The other floors are only used for entertaining guests."

Li Musheng raised an eyebrow, then looked enlightened and said:
"Why didn't you say so earlier? No wonder I didn't see anything good on my way upstairs."

Then, he changed the subject and said:
"We'll go to the eighth floor sooner or later, but we also need to check the seventh floor to make sure there are no fish that slip through the net."

Upon hearing this, the maid nodded slightly and said:
"Where the guests want to go is entirely up to them, and I will continue to guide them as always."

Then, the maid continued forward, and before long, the young man in blue and the young woman in red, who had caught up from downstairs, came out from the corner of the fourth floor.

The two watched Li Musheng and his group walk away, but did not follow them immediately.

They had just witnessed the battle between the Seventh Ancestor and Li Musheng, and now they understood that the Jingjue Ancient City remnants had probably formed a grudge against Li Musheng.

"This eighth prince of Dali is so powerful that even the Seventh Ancestor couldn't stop him."

The girl in red spoke with a look of surprise and doubt, while the boy in blue's expression changed drastically as he said:

"This person is indeed highly skilled, but he is too arrogant. Our ancestors must have had some plans here, but it seems that he has ruined them all."

"Then what should we do now? This is not something we can interfere with." The girl in red asked, frowning.

The young man in blue robes looked thoughtful and said:

"It seems that our ancestors are on the seventh floor now. It's not safe for us to stay here. We should follow them first."

Upon hearing this, the girl in red had no better choice. She nodded slightly, and then the two of them followed behind Li Musheng and the others at a distance, heading towards the end of the corridor.

……

Meanwhile, when the maid led Li Musheng and the others to the entrance of the fifth floor, they found that the entrance was empty and the guards who should have been there were nowhere to be seen.

Even more strangely, when the group stepped onto the fifth floor, the entire floor was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The once bustling and lively scene was gone; the corridors and rooms were empty, with only countless candles burning silently, and not a single person in sight.

"Be careful, guest, the road ahead is not easy."

The maid in front suddenly reminded him without turning her head. As soon as she finished speaking, Ah Xiu, the girl next to Li Musheng, subconsciously reached out and touched her face, only to find her hand covered in blood.

At this moment, the girl Ah Xiu could feel the blood in her body slowly flowing out through her seven orifices, the warm liquid flowing over her skin, and her nasal cavity filled with a strong smell of blood.

"Your Highness."

The young girl, Ah Xiu, subconsciously called out to Li Musheng beside her, her eyes filled with both confusion and panic about her current situation.

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng turned around and glanced at the girl, Ah Xiu. Her face was covered in blood, and she looked extremely ferocious. He clearly saw all of this.

"Xiuer, what happened to you? What happened to you?"

Li Musheng frowned slightly and asked, his questioning voice reaching the ears of the young girl, Axiu, but Axiu couldn't utter a word. (End of Chapter)
