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

Chapter 199 is extraordinary

Li Musheng didn't even glance at Mei Yan and his wife, but casually asked:

"What does Lord Hu think should be done with them?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Ruian remained silent for a moment, his gaze sweeping over Mei Yan, whose eyes were vacant from the torture, and Mu Qingxia, who was imprisoned. Then, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face as he said:
“Mei Yan has a special identity. He is the Queen’s younger brother and a true member of the royal family. Mu Qingxia is the beloved daughter of Mu Tianxing, the Martial Saint of Yuming Mountain. This matter is undoubtedly extremely difficult to handle.”

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng raised an eyebrow:
"Difficult to do?"

Then, he waved his hand and said:

"If it's too difficult, then let's not do it."

Upon hearing this, Hu Ruian was taken aback, then looked at Li Musheng with great trepidation. Seeing that Li Musheng was playing with the black cat on the ground and didn't seem angry, Hu Ruian tentatively asked:
"Setting this matter aside is indeed a good choice. Although Mei Yan has admitted to colluding with Luo Shen Feng, and it is true that he sent the Tianjin Guard to help Luo Shen Feng massacre villages and towns, and he also outwardly obeyed but inwardly defied the imperial court's orders, although the First Prince's collusion with Luo Shen Feng is also involved behind the scenes..."

Halfway through his speech, Hu Ruian suddenly found himself unable to continue. What he was saying was enough to warrant the execution of Mei Yan's entire family.

However, due to the couple's identities and the existence of certain entities behind them, he simply didn't dare to get involved in the matter.

At this moment, Li Musheng saw Hu Ruian stop, looked up at him, and said:
"I guess Lord Hu must have misunderstood me. When I said 'don't do it,' I meant that you shouldn't waste your time on this matter. Just kill them if they should be killed, and that will be the end of it."

As he spoke, he patted the big black cat's head and said:
"After all, we have to leave first thing tomorrow morning after tonight, so we won't have time to worry about these things."

Upon hearing this, Hu Ruian paused, glanced at Mei Yan and his wife, then looked at Li Musheng and said:

"Killed? This..."

At this moment, Mei Yan and Mu Qingxia, who had heard everything, both changed their expressions. Even Mei Yan, who had been listless, seemed to suddenly snap back to reality and struggled in terror.
"No...it's me, the Queen..."

However, before he could finish speaking, a sharp claw was already on his throat, and with a single slash, it made a cut.

Mei Yan's throat was cut open, and blood gushed out, blocking his trachea. Even if he wanted to speak, he could only make a gurgling sound.

The big black cat meowed and quickly jumped away from Mei Yan, as if afraid that the other's blood would splatter on its fur.

The people around were stunned by what they saw. Hu Ruian looked at Mei Yan, who was breathing heavily but not exhaling and whose eyes were wide open, and his eyelids twitched.

The opponent's life force was rapidly dissipating, and soon there was no more movement.

The scene of a commander of the Tianjin Guard of a prefecture, a master of martial arts at the Celestial Realm, dying so humiliatingly under the claws of a large cat was truly too dramatic.

At this moment, the big black cat returned to Li Musheng's side, rubbing against his robes and circling him twice to show its affection.

Li Musheng then shook his head, glanced at Hu Ruian, and said:
"I knew this cat was something else; it killed people so swiftly!"

Shen Anran and Wu Shang all looked at each other strangely.

A cat that can kill people is not just unusual, it's downright terrifying!
"Your Highness, this big cat must be related to that divine being; they must be controlling it in secret."

Wu Shang glanced at the big black cat with some apprehension and quickly reminded Li Musheng.

At this moment, Cheng Zhong also spoke up:

“I always felt that this cat could understand what we were saying, and keeping it around might be a disaster.”

Upon hearing this, the big black cat looked up, its bright green eyes gazing at Wu Shang and Cheng Zhong, before narrowing slightly.

Then, it raised its paw and symbolically scratched the ground, as if threatening the two of them that if they dared to speak ill of it again, they would suffer the same fate as Mei Yan. "Alright, it's just a cat. With me here, what can it do to cause trouble?"

At this moment, Li Musheng patted the big black cat's head.

The other animal quickly retracted its paws, meowed a few times, made purring sounds, and rubbed its head against Li Musheng's palm.

Upon hearing this, Wu Shang and the other exchanged a glance and immediately dared not say anything more. Meanwhile, Shen Anran, with her exquisite features, subtly changed her expression, thinking to herself:

"I haven't even touched Your Highness yet, but this big cat beat me to it."

She was shocked to see her husband killed by a cat, with the tacit approval of the group of people in front of her.

Mu Qingxia was furious and filled with resentment, but she was imprisoned and could only watch helplessly as this scene unfolded, unable to do anything about it.

Just then, Hu Ruian turned around and looked at her, remained silent for a moment, and slowly said:

"In the past, others were the fish on the chopping block, and you were the butcher. Did you ever think that one day the roles would be reversed?"

As he spoke, he stepped towards Mu Qingxia and said:

"Since your husband has already passed away, Madam Mu must have no intention of living alone. In that case, let me see you off."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Ruian struck out with his palm, hitting the top of Mu Qingxia's head and killing her instantly, to Mu Qingxia's horror.

After doing all this, Hu Ruian took a deep breath, then turned back with a bitter expression to look at Li Musheng, who was playing with the cat, and said:

"Your Highness, after this incident, I am now mortal enemies with that Martial Saint Mu Tianxing. I'm afraid he won't be satisfied until he has torn me to pieces."

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng gently shook his head and said:

"I think that once the news of Lord Hu killing the daughter of the Martial Saint with a single palm strike spreads, it will surely shock the martial arts world and make him famous."

"If Madam Ruan of Zhanlu Manor knew about this, she would definitely admire Lord Hu very much."

Upon hearing this, Hu Ruian's face immediately turned red.

Meanwhile, Shen Anran pursed her red lips and said:

"Actually, only a few of us know about this. If we don't leak it out, naturally no one will know that it was my cousin who did it."

Upon hearing this, Wu Shang also spoke up:

"My lord, there is no need to worry. The Mei family deserved to die. Even if this matter spreads, we are in the right. At worst, we can hide in the capital and not come out. I don't think Mu Tianxing would dare to openly oppose the Dali court."

Cheng Zhong nodded, but just as he was about to speak, he suddenly opened his mouth and spat out something.

A beam of condensed true energy shot out from his mouth and headed towards Hu Ruian's brow.

Seeing this, Hu Ruian's expression changed, and he raised his hand to strike at the cold light, while shouting sharply:
"Cheng Zhong, what are you doing?"

However, the cold light that his palm, which was enveloped in true energy, touched suddenly exploded, and the terrifying energy even caused his palm to crack.
