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

Upon hearing the young girl Ah Xiu's question, the maid's expression remained unchanged. She merely glanced at her and said:
"Times have changed, and I can certainly take back what I said before."

Having said that, the maid stopped explaining and turned her gaze to Li Musheng, clearly waiting for him to make a choice.

The young girl, Ah Xiu, her expression shifting uncertainly, her eyes warily fixed on the maid, and she said:

"Your attitude towards us was initially arrogant but later became obsequious. I can tell that you have ulterior motives towards His Highness after witnessing His Highness's true strength."

Upon hearing this, the maid did not respond to the young girl, Ah Xiu, but simply waited quietly for Li Musheng's response from inside the hall.

At this moment, Li Musheng turned around and left the array area, then returned the way he came and walked out of the main hall.

"Lead the way."

Li Musheng waved to the maid outside the palace gate. Upon hearing this, the maid responded and turned around without saying anything more, continuing along the corridor ahead.

"Your Highness..."

The young girl, Ah Xiu, wanted to speak up to remind him, but Li Musheng stopped her with a gesture.

At the same time, Li Musheng glanced back at the four members of the Green Mountain Pavilion in the main hall, and quietly used Meng Qianqiu to create an illusion in the entire hall.

Even a martial god would be restrained by Meng Qianqiu when he unleashed his full power, so the four people in the hall naturally couldn't detect it at all.

Li Musheng did this to be on the safe side, so that no matter what bad intentions these people had, they would not escape his grasp.

As for the Qingshan Tower Master, a rather special and reckless individual, Li Musheng secretly locked onto him using the Wuxiang Puppet Technique, and also kept an extra trick up his sleeve.

"I have many tricks up my sleeve, and I'm not afraid of you cunning old fogies playing tricks on me."

Li Musheng narrowed his eyes slightly, beckoning the girl Ah Xiu and the big black cat to follow. He thought to himself that after going up to the eighth floor and then the ninth floor, he had finally come all this way and he had to return with a full load.

At the same time, the three elders of the Jingjue Ancient City clan and the master of Qingshan Tower within the array breathed a slight sigh of relief as they watched Li Musheng and the others disappear.

"Finally, we've gotten rid of this plague!"

The Seventh Patriarch spoke with a rather unpleasant expression.

For them, Li Musheng's existence was a huge hidden danger, greatly affecting their ability to break through the array restrictions, and they might even fail because of him. Naturally, they wished he would stay as far away as possible.

Upon hearing this, the Sixth Patriarch frowned, his face showing deep thought, and said:
"I'm quite curious now, was that maid really able to lead people into the eighth floor of the White Emperor Tower?"

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Patriarch slowly withdrew his gaze from outside the main hall, and after a moment of silence, said:
“I had clearly reduced this woman to ashes and made her as dead as could be, but she was able to come back to life. She seems to be immortal. There must be something wrong with this thing.”

At this moment, the Fifth Patriarch glanced at the Seventh Patriarch and said:
“I told you before that you shouldn’t make any rash moves in this building unless absolutely necessary. You could have continued to investigate this woman, but you didn’t listen to me.”

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Patriarch shook his head and said:
"This woman was determined to lure us to the eighth floor. She had ulterior motives, so I couldn't let her stay, lest she ruin our plans."

With that, the Seventh Ancestor snorted coldly, his gaze once again turning towards the outside of the main hall, and he narrowed his eyes, saying:

"That prince of Dali is still too young, arrogant and disdainful of others. He is so trusting of this woman's words that he might perish on the eighth floor."

Upon hearing this, the other three fell silent. They all understood the maid's intention to lead someone to the eighth level, but none of them had pointed it out. The purpose of the four's actions was therefore quite clear. "This is his own choice, and it has nothing to do with us. Right now, we must speed up the process of breaking this Panlong Formation to avoid any unforeseen complications."

The Sixth Patriarch spoke slowly, pulling the other three back to their senses.

The Seven Ancestors and the others naturally understood the current situation. They all nodded in agreement and then stopped talking, focusing all their efforts on activating the combined array technique.

At this moment, the Sixth Patriarch glanced deeply at the silent Master of Qingshan Tower out of the corner of his eye.

Just now, Li Musheng took the initiative to mention the Soul Searching Technique, and then obviously used this technique to search the memories of the Green Mountain Pavilion Master. However, in the end, it seems that he returned empty-handed.

Given the strength of the Green Mountain Pavilion Master, it should be impossible for him to resist Li Musheng's Soul Searching Technique so easily. Therefore, he guessed that there must be some hidden story that he was unaware of.

However, the Sixth Patriarch never mentioned this matter, as their plan was the most important thing at the moment.

Just then, the two young men in blue robes who had been following Li Musheng and his companions from a distance also cautiously approached the front of the main hall.

Upon seeing the three clan elders in the main hall, the young man in blue and the young woman in red were naturally overjoyed.

However, before the two could utter a sound, a giant hand formed from the true energy of heaven and earth grabbed them and pulled them into the hall.

At the same time, the voice of the Fifth Patriarch reached their ears:
"Stay here for now, and do not wander off or go anywhere."

Upon hearing this, the young man in blue robes' expression shifted uncertainly, but he volunteered:
“Ancestor, it seems that the Eighth Prince of Dali is about to enter the Eighth Floor. Should I follow him and find out what’s going on?”

However, the Fifth Patriarch left behind a warning, saying:
"Your ability to reach this seventh level is not due to your own capabilities. The eighth level is even more dangerous, and even we dare not set foot here easily. It is definitely not a place you can go."

As he spoke, the Fifth Patriarch gradually softened his tone and said:

“I know you are devoted to the clan, but doing nothing for us right now is the greatest help you can give us.”

Upon hearing this, the boy in green and the girl in red had no further thoughts. They both agreed and sat down cross-legged in the main hall.

……

Meanwhile, led by the maid, Li Musheng and his party arrived at the entrance to the eighth floor of Baidi Tower.

The maid in front of him stopped abruptly as she was about to step onto the jade steps of the eighth floor, then turned to look at Li Musheng and said:
"Before we enter the eighth floor, please forgive me for asking, but what do you hope to gain from your visit to the White Emperor Tower?"

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng waved his hand casually and said:
"There's nothing in particular that I want, but I want anything that I like."

Upon hearing this, the maid stared at Li Musheng for a moment, then a meaningful smile appeared on her lips.

Then, he suddenly turned around and took a step forward.

Visibly, the maid's figure instantly disintegrated into a stream of seven-colored light, all of which flowed into the entrance of the eighth floor.

The next moment, the originally ordinary and dimly lit entrance space was suddenly torn open with a crack.

A dazzling array of multicolored light shimmered within the crack, its beautiful glow mesmerizing and irresistible, drawing one in irresistibly. (End of Chapter)
