Chapter 575 Explanation
The three elders of the Jingjue Ancient City clan answered almost all of Li Musheng's questions without reservation.
After all, Li Musheng managed to rescue them ahead of schedule this time.
Although the three elders of the Jingjue Ancient City clan had previously made a pact with Qishan's group, the other party has now decided not to take action against Li Musheng, so the pact will not be of any use to them for the time being.
Therefore, given the absence of any conflict of interest, the Sixth Patriarch and others had no need to conceal anything from Li Musheng. Moreover, since he possessed a demonic art like the Soul Searching Technique, there was absolutely no need for them to lie.
After getting the answers to his questions, Li Musheng had no intention of making things difficult for the three elders of the Jingjue Ancient City. After taking them back to Baidi City, he planned to let them leave.
"Your Highness, the destruction of the Jingjue Ancient City may be related to that Emperor Tianqi. That first emperor of all time may be plotting an unimaginable grand plan. Since you want to open the Tianqi Treasure, you must be careful."
Before leaving, the Sixth Patriarch hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke to admonish Li Musheng.
Judging from the many hidden records left behind in the ancient city of Jingjue, the Tianqi Emperor did indeed do too many incredible things, and many signs indicate that he was playing a grand game involving the entire world.
Although the Sixth Patriarch and others did not know what the Heavenly Emperor was planning, their attempts to glean even a glimpse of his intentions through mere clues were enough to send shivers down their spines.
Li Musheng remained remarkably calm in the face of the Sixth Patriarch's words.
If the Tianqi Emperor does nothing, then he will have absolutely no interest in the Tianqi Treasure.
After letting the three elders of the Jingjue Ancient City clan and the master of Qingshan Tower leave on their own, Li Musheng returned to his small courtyard.
He immediately summoned Lianxing and instructed her to go to the location indicated by the ring's engraving and retrieve the key to the Apocalypse Treasure hidden there.
"Your Highness, according to the map, the east and west should be within the territory of the Great Wu Dynasty."
Lianxing stared intently at the key Li Musheng handed her for a moment, her aloof and beautiful face turning to Li Musheng with hesitation, tentatively asking:
"The key to the Apocalypse Treasury is so important, does Your Highness really trust me to handle this matter?"
Upon hearing this, Li Musheng waved his hand and said:
"I am about to set off for the Great Chu. The Great Chu and the Great Wu are two completely different directions, so I definitely won't be able to go."
As he spoke, Li Musheng flicked his finger, sending a stream of martial arts energy directly into Lianxing's body, and said calmly:
“Since you are the best among the younger generation of assassins in the Hidden Killing Pavilion, this should be no problem for you at all.”
"However, to prevent the owner of Qingshan Tower from playing any tricks, I have left you with a means to protect your life, so you can go without worry."
Lianxing's expression changed slightly as she secretly sensed the wisp of martial arts energy that Li Musheng had injected into her body, but she did not detect anything amiss.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness. I will certainly live up to your expectations."
Lianxing's beautiful face showed no unusual emotion, and she immediately bowed and agreed to the matter.
Although she didn't know whether what Li Musheng left in her body was a means of survival or a means of control to prevent her from betraying him, she had no choice but to accept it.
"There's no time to lose. You should set off immediately. Once you obtain the key to the Heavenly Revelation Treasure, head straight to the capital of the Great Li Dynasty and wait for me." Li Musheng nodded slightly, glanced at Lianxing before him, and calmly said:
"If there are any problems with the key, remember to send a message to the Hidden Kill Pavilion, and I will personally take care of it."
Upon hearing this, Lianxing quickly nodded in agreement, then said no more and took her leave, preparing to pack up and set off immediately.
After Lianxing left, Li Musheng pondered for a moment, then summoned Youhai Saint Lord and instructed him:
“I will be leaving Baidi City soon, so I will give you two more hours to gather the remaining Holy Lords of the Yellow Springs Department.”
As he spoke, Li Musheng casually cast a Life and Death Talisman into the body of the Nether Sea Saint King, then waved for him to leave, saying:
"Time is limited, so you'd better take care of yourself."
Upon hearing this, the Holy Lord of the Nether Sea looked rather displeased, but he dared not disobey Li Musheng's wishes, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree before turning to leave immediately.
After doing all this, Li Musheng summoned Cang Yinyue and Shen Anran, asking them to pack up in advance and inform the Great Chu King Xun so that they could prepare to leave Baidi City together.
"Your Highness, what should we do with the two children from the Jiang family and their mother?"
Cang Yinyue, who was about to leave following Li Musheng's instructions, suddenly remembered Jiang Si and the others, and turned to Li Musheng to ask them a question.
Upon hearing this, Li Musheng clearly didn't care much about the matter. After thinking for a moment, he said:
"You and Miss Shen should each choose one of those two martial arts geniuses from the Jiang family to be your disciples. After they have completed their apprenticeship, they can travel with us."
Cang Yinyue and Shen Anran exchanged a glance, then fell silent. After a short while, Shen Anran spoke:
“We originally just didn’t want Your Highness to miss out on such talent, but since Your Highness really has no intention of taking on disciples, then we can temporarily take in those two children, however…”
At this point, Shen Anran suddenly stopped, and Cang Yinyue, who was standing beside her, took over the conversation, saying:
"We are just a little worried that the two children from the Jiang family have high martial arts talent, while our martial arts cultivation is limited, and they may not be willing to become disciples."
Upon hearing this, Li Musheng remained silent, seemingly pondering something, and then said:
"If I remember correctly, one of the two geniuses in the Jiang family was also their maternal grandfather, who was one of the three great martial arts gods in the world."
As he spoke, he glanced at Cang Yinyue and Shen Anran, and said:
"Compared to taking the two girls as their teachers, the two of them do seem to have better options."
Upon hearing this, both Cang Yinyue and Shen Anran subconsciously pursed their lips, their clear eyes fixed on Li Musheng, clearly indicating that he didn't need to say such hurtful words.
Seeing this, Li Musheng raised an eyebrow slightly and shook his head, saying:
"I've said before that I have no interest in taking on apprentices, and forced relationships are never good."
"Of course, those two martial arts geniuses from the Jiang family owe me a great debt of gratitude, and not just anyone can owe me such a debt."
As he spoke, Li Musheng glanced at Cang Yinyue and Shen Anran, and calmly said:
"No matter what, one of the two martial arts geniuses from the Jiang family must become your disciple. This is my promise to the two young ladies and my bottom line. Even if the God of Martial Arts came, it would be of no use."
"As for whether one of those two is willing to become my disciple under any circumstances, that's simple: they must pay a price that satisfies me." (End of Chapter)
