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

Chapter 90 Sheng Lao

Hearing this, Tu Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not respond. Instead, he changed the subject and asked:

"Old Sheng, we in Fuzhou City only obtained Qilin blood by chance, but we are not sure where it came from."

"You just said that Qilin blood appears in the world almost every sixty years. So where does this thing come from? Is it true that the mythical beast Fire Qilin really exists in this world?"

The grey-robed old man Sheng Shian shook his head and said:
"Does the mythical Fire Qilin really exist? No one in the martial arts world has ever seen one, but most people suspect it exists. Otherwise, how could Qilin blood continue to appear in the world for so many years?"

Tu Yao looked thoughtful:

"Then has no one tried to find the Fire Qilin?"

"Of course, some people have searched for it in the past, but for hundreds and thousands of years, no one has found it. Gradually, no one has looked for this elusive mythical beast anymore."

Sheng Shian lowered his eyes and said, then changed the subject and said:
"However, every time Qilin blood appears in the world, there will be a wave of searching for the mythical beast Fire Qilin. I think the martial arts world will be quite lively from now on."

Hearing this, Tu Yao nodded slowly, and after a moment of silence, he did not continue asking questions about this matter.

He looked down at the wooden boat where Li Musheng was and asked:

"What do you think of the martial arts master who just snatched hundreds of jade tokens from the air? If he attacks, can you stop him?"

The grey-robed old man, Sheng Shian, was silent for a few breaths, his aged face showing a thoughtful expression, and said:

"The method that person used to seize the jade token was somewhat similar to the sword-controlling technique in Jianghu swordsmanship. However, perhaps because we were too far away, I didn't sense the presence of the sword energy."

As he spoke, he slowly turned his head to look at Tu Yao and said:

"I have never fought against him, so I don't have an accurate understanding of his strength. However, there is no doubt that he must be a master of the Heavenly Man Realm. Moreover, his ability to conceal his presence is also extremely powerful. We must pay close attention to him."

Tu Yao nodded slightly and said:

"With Elder Sheng and I personally overseeing this matter, it shouldn't be a big problem, but..."

He looked at Li Musheng on the wooden boat below and said with narrowed eyes:

"Didn't Elder Sheng ever suspect that he was the one who attacked earlier?"

"I've been wandering the martial arts world for most of my life, and I've seen all sorts of people. He's just a young kid. You don't really think there's a martial arts genius in the world who can reach the realm of heaven and man at such a young age?"

The grey-robed old man Sheng Shian directly denied Tu Yao's guess and said:
"Ever since the jade token was absorbed by a large area, I have been keeping an eye on him. I can confirm that there is not a single trace of Qi fluctuation in his body, nor any signs of him making any moves."

"Also, I've observed that this person is not disguising himself, so there is probably only one possibility: the two of them must be from prominent backgrounds, with experts helping them."

Hearing this, Tu Yao didn't say anything. In fact, he also felt that this was unlikely and just asked casually.

Then he spoke softly:

"There's still some time left in the final stage, which should be enough time to find out their identities."

……

Not long after, as the vortex in the center of the underground lake stopped, a gong sound like a huge bell suddenly rang out in the darkness above.

Then, a deep voice came from a distance:

"The time has come. Please stop fighting over the jade tokens, distinguished guests."

At the same time, the whirlpools on the entire lake quickly disappeared, and all the boats gradually came to a stop. Two hundred and ten boats floated around the center of the lake, some bright, some dark, like dim stars.

At this moment, ten pitch-black iron chains suddenly dropped from the darkness above.

The iron chain accurately connected the iron buckles of ten wooden boats with candlelight among the many wooden boats, and then, it dragged the ten wooden boats at an extremely fast speed, sliding rapidly towards the center of the lake.

The wooden boat that Li Musheng and Li Yuanling were riding on was naturally among these ten wooden boats. The two of them let the iron chain pull them, and soon they arrived at the center of the lake.

Soon, with a rumbling sound coming from the ground in the center of the lake, the lake water in front of them suddenly parted quickly, and a slide made of stone and wood gradually emerged from the ground.

The slide leads to the bottom of the lake, where there is a huge hole about ten feet in radius. It is pitch black in the hole and there is no light, and the sound of rushing water can be heard from time to time.

"The top ten guests will enter the final round."

A deep voice rang out above the ten wooden boats, and then continued singing:
"Boat No. 21, accumulated pattern count is 190, ranking first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the iron chain that was originally hooked to the wooden boat where Li Musheng and the other man were located began to twitch rapidly, and immediately pulled the wooden boat into the slide first.

At the same time, everyone on the nine wooden boats floating around looked at Li Musheng and Li Yuanling.

Many people showed fear on their faces, especially the three women on a wooden boat. When they saw the pile of jade tokens on the boat, they knew that the culprit who had stolen their jade tokens was right in front of them.

"It turned out to be her!"

Shu Wan'er and the other two naturally recognized Li Yuanling on the wooden boat. They obviously didn't expect that the person from whom they had snatched all the jade tokens before would now become the one with the most jade tokens.

Li Yuanling naturally noticed the three women looking at her. She immediately held up a pile of jade tokens and showed them off mercilessly to the three of them.

Then, he looked at the pitiful less than ten jade tokens in the other party's hand, curled his lips in disdain, turned his head away without even looking at the three people, full of sarcasm.

The expressions of Shu Wan'er and the other two suddenly became extremely ugly, but they still looked at Li Musheng and the other two with fear, turned their heads away and said nothing.

They still vividly remembered the scene of the jade token being snatched away from a distance. The martial arts skills of the person who did it were too astonishing, and they did not dare to confront Li Yuanling and the others at all.

In the corner of the remaining nine wooden boats, on a seemingly inconspicuous wooden boat, Zhang He narrowed his eyes and watched Li Musheng board the boat and enter the slide. After he disappeared, he quietly looked at Han Meiyan in front of him:

"Lady Saint, guess who I met?"

Han Meiyan naturally noticed his gaze, then looked towards the slide and said in a deep voice:

"Those two have average martial arts skills. To be able to obtain so many jade tokens, they must have someone helping them. It's best not to provoke them unless it's absolutely necessary."

Zhang He hurriedly bowed and said:

"Don't worry, Saint Lady. I know this, but you may not know that I have actually met this person before."

"And... he is the Eighth Prince recently acknowledged by Emperor Yuanwu."

Hearing this, Han Meiyan's expression suddenly changed, her eyes sparkling as she looked straight at Zhang He:
"you sure?"

"I have confirmed it with Song Shanyue, it is absolutely correct!" Zhang He nodded.

For a moment, Han Meiyan narrowed her eyes slightly and murmured:

"Then this is a perfect target for rebellion."
