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

Chapter 237 Advance
"too difficult!"

Li Musheng looked at his palm, sighed, and shook his head.

He doesn't have a clear answer to these speculations yet, and can only try to figure them out on his own.

Immediately, he withdrew his hand, holding the crimson veins and divine blood in his palm.

He secretly activated both the "Devouring God Technique" and the Azure Dragon and Darkness Scripture simultaneously.

Absorb as much as you can, it just takes a little longer. Once all this power is integrated into your body, it will still have some effect.

Moreover, once the Azure Dragon and Azure Netherworld Scripture is truly perfected, the speed at which it absorbs divine blood is estimated to increase further.

With these thoughts in mind, Li Musheng temporarily withdrew his attention from the divine blood and turned his gaze to the grandfather and grandson who were still sitting motionless in the carriage below.

The shock on the faces of the old man in hemp clothing and Lin Xun'er had not yet faded, and a deep fear appeared in their eyes.

Previously, I witnessed the head disciple of Luoshen Peak using a special secret technique to block Li Musheng's finger strike that easily killed Zheng Yunfeng.

They originally thought that Li Musheng had no way to deal with the other party, and that when the even more powerful old man from Luoshen Peak arrived, the other party's situation would inevitably be extremely dangerous.

However, the next moment, Li Musheng unexpectedly and easily subdued the confident senior disciple of Luoshen Peak, which once again shocked the two of them.

However, they had all witnessed Li Musheng torturing the other party with the Life and Death Talisman.

The horrific sight of the sect leader's eldest disciple's heart-wrenching agony still seemed vivid in their minds. Li Musheng's horrifying interrogation methods before killing him sent chills down their spines.

Just then, the old man in hemp clothing and Lin Xun'er felt a sudden relief as the acupoints that had been sealed in their bodies were instantly released.

The two were now able to move freely, but at the same time, they heard Li Musheng's teasing voice:
"You ran faster than anyone else at Baixiang Pavilion just now, and only remembered me when your life was in danger, right?"

As he spoke, Li Musheng glanced at the two of them. Since the experts from Luoshen Peak had not yet arrived, he had some free time.

So, he stroked his chin and asked:
"However, I am a little curious, what grudge do you have with Fallen God Peak that makes you so eager to go and throw your lives away?"

Upon hearing this, the old man in hemp clothing and Lin Xun'er exchanged a glance, and the two hesitated for a moment.

But soon, they remembered Li Musheng's terrifying martial arts strength, and the inexplicable image of the tragic state of the eldest disciple of the Luoshen Peak sect leader, who was living a life worse than death.

Of course, they were not ungrateful people; Li Musheng had genuinely saved their lives.

This made the two of them both fearful of Li Musheng, but also extremely grateful to him.

At this moment, the old man in hemp clothing's expression changed rapidly, and he quickly and solemnly bowed to Li Musheng, saying:
"I am deeply grateful to Young Master Li for saving me. I will never forget your great kindness."

Then, he glanced at Lin Xun'er beside him, sighed, and said:

"Our purpose in coming to Hundred Refinement Peak is actually to avenge my eldest granddaughter..."

Then, the old man in hemp clothing gave a brief account of the whole story.

The incident began when one of Zheng Yunfeng's sons, the peak master of Hundred Refinements Peak, took a fancy to Lin Xun'er's older sister while traveling through the martial world and passing by a sect.

Zheng Yunfeng's son, blinded by lust, planned to use the name of Luoshen Peak to pressure and force the sect to seize it.

However, the sect that Lin Xun'er's sister belongs to is exceptionally upright and principled. Even when faced with Luo Shen Peak, they resolutely refused to join them.

However, this also brought disaster to the sect. Zheng Yunfeng's descendants were furious and eventually led a group of experts from Hundred Refinement Peak to destroy the entire sect overnight. Lin Xun'er's older sister refused to submit and also committed suicide by self-destruction.

After listening to the old man in hemp clothing's account, Li Musheng remained unmoved. What the old man was talking about was just one snapshot of the many grudges and entanglements in the vast martial arts world.

Of course, this is also one of the hegemonic acts of Luoshen Peak, which disregards the law and poisons the martial arts world.

There are countless similar evil deeds committed by the disciples of Luoshen Peak, but most people are simply powerless to take revenge, or even dare not to. Very few can actually come to Luoshen Peak like the old man in hemp clothes and his grandson.

Thinking of this, Li Musheng shook his head, no longer teasing the two of them. He simply thought for a moment and said:
"You guys wait here. Don't go to that Hundred Refinement Peak for now, lest you get captured and killed on the way."

After the top disciple of Luoshen Peak sends the signal, Luoshen Peak will definitely send an even more powerful expert to Hundred Refinement City. The two of them will most likely run into each other again if they go to seek revenge now.

Given their abilities, it's clear that the two of them are no match for those experts.

The old man in hemp clothing and Lin Xun'er naturally understood this matter. Lin Xun'er was captured halfway because she had not considered things carefully, and therefore felt extremely remorseful.

Upon hearing Li Musheng's words, neither of them refused, nor did they dare to refuse.

Li Musheng glanced at the two of them, nodded, and then squinted and said:

"Don't worry, once I've killed all those experts from Fallen God Peak, you'll have plenty of opportunities for revenge."

Such a great moment to show off naturally needs an audience, and he felt that these two were a perfect match.

Upon hearing this, both the old man in hemp clothing and Lin Xun'er were slightly taken aback. However, when they recalled how Li Musheng had killed the eldest disciple of the Fallen God Peak Sect, they immediately understood.

Surprisingly, this time they didn't think what the other party said was arrogant.

Li Musheng brought them so many surprises and shocks that, on the contrary, they felt a faint sense of anticipation.

The two exchanged a glance, and both could see a strange look in each other's eyes.

Li Musheng, alone, confronts the behemoth of the martial world, Luoshen Peak. Tonight, they may witness this firsthand, a moment that will undoubtedly leave a significant mark on history.

Upon closer reflection, I vaguely felt a sense of excitement.

Lin Xun'er frowned slightly, and at that moment, Li Musheng's voice suddenly floated softly in her ear:
"How old are you?"

Lin Xun'er subconsciously looked up, only to see Li Musheng suddenly turn his gaze and stare at her intently.

Li Musheng had suspected Lin Xun'er was suspicious before, but he had no clue what was going on. Now that the experts from Luoshen Peak had not yet arrived, he asked her another question out of curiosity.

In the past, Lin Xun'er would have easily been fooled by Li Musheng; after all, who directly asks a girl's age? But unfortunately, things were different now. Her little face hesitated for a moment, and finally, somewhat reluctantly, she answered coyly:
I am eighteen years old this year.

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng nodded in satisfaction and said:
"I knew you weren't normal. You're not young, yet you're acting like you're young. I could tell there was something wrong with you at a glance."

Lin Xun'er's expression suddenly froze. Who was pretending to be young?

Then, she took a deep breath and explained:
"This is a drawback of the divine skill I cultivate called 'Eight Desolations Supreme'. Before I can advance to a higher level, my body will revert to the appearance of a child, and it will take forty-nine days for me to return to my original appearance."

Li Musheng raised an eyebrow. The martial art that Lin Xun'er was talking about seemed to be very similar to a technique he knew from his previous life.

However, he didn't think much of it.

There are many strange martial arts techniques in the world, and there are even divine beings. The martial arts that Lin Xun'er cultivates are not the most unusual.

Having satisfied his curiosity, Li Musheng ignored the old man in hemp clothing and Lin Xun'er, waving his hand to let them do as they pleased.

He continued to absorb divine blood while perfecting the final key part of the Azure Dragon Azure Nether Scripture.

The old man in hemp clothing and Lin Xun'er didn't go far. They found a suitable place to hide in a restaurant that was already deserted, not far from Baixiang Pavilion.

At the same time, after the chief disciple of Luoshen Peak gave the signal, all the nine peaks of Luoshen Peak and the Tianjin Guards who were secretly lurking in the night saw this incomparably dazzling golden flame.

In an instant, everyone realized that something big must have happened in Hundred Refinement City, especially the people of Fallen God Peak, who were very clear about what that special golden flame signal meant.
According to the rules of Luoshen Peak, any member of Luoshen Peak who sees this signal must immediately go to its aid, no matter where they are. Anyone who disobeys will be considered a traitor!

The young man was, after all, the head disciple of the sect leader and the future successor to the leadership of Luoshen Peak. The fact that he carried such a signal showed that Luoshen Peak valued his life highly.

However, things are different now. Not to mention that the golden flames appeared within the Luoshen Peak region, the sect leader and the main peak have taken action.

Moreover, the other peaks had already received messages from the disciples of Hundred Refinement Peak, and knew that the peak leader of Hundred Refinement Peak had been defeated by the nameless expert who appeared in Hundred Refinement City.

Whether they were simply trying to protect themselves or were self-aware enough to know that they couldn't defeat that expert even if they went to Hundred Refinement City, none of the peak leaders went there in person. Instead, they symbolically sent a few elders from their own peaks to Hundred Refinement City.

Of course, the most special ones are Hundred Refinement Peak and the eighth peak, Mountain Slaying Peak.

After realizing that their own peak master, who possessed such terrifying martial arts skills, had perished in Hundred Refinement City, the disciples of Hundred Refinement Peak felt as if the sky had collapsed.

At the same time, everyone became extremely panicked and fearful. Zheng Yunfeng was killed in Hundred Refinement City, which meant that the expert was already very close to Hundred Refinement Peak. Next, the opponent would most likely come to Hundred Refinement Peak.

However, even the most powerful martial arts masters among them were no match for the opponent, so how could they possibly stop them?

In an instant, let alone sending anyone to support Hundred Refinement City, Hundred Refinement Peak would have scattered like birds and beasts and fled for their lives long ago if it weren't for the fact that desertion would be punished with death.

The only thing they can do now is to try their best not to escape!
As for Zhan Yue Peak, since all the elders, including the peak seat, were in seclusion, and the temporary manager, Madam Ni, was busy having fun with young and strong men, they had no time to care about the fate of Bai Lian Peak.

Therefore, Zhan Yue Peak did not send out even a single disciple. According to the person in charge of the peak, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Sending disciples would only be sending them to their deaths, so it was better to act cautiously.

Meanwhile, the Tianjin Guards, who were secretly advancing towards the four peaks of Luoshen Peak, also saw both signals sent from Bailian City.

In fact, after the Grand Elder of Hundred Refinement Peak sent the signal, the temporary commander in charge of the three routes of the Heavenly Brocade Guard had already secretly sent someone to contact Fu Qiwen to inquire about the unusual situation in the direction of Hundred Refinement City.

Fu Qiwen initially did not reveal his current intentions in Hundred Refinement City for Li Musheng's safety.

However, after witnessing Li Musheng defeat the peak master of Hundred Refinement Peak in a single move, he abandoned his previous plan and instead informed the other three about Li Musheng's trip to Hundred Refinement City.

As for why he did this, it was naturally for Li Musheng's sake.

In Fu Qiwen's view, Li Musheng's ability to defeat Zheng Yunfeng in one move showed that he was indeed capable of escaping unscathed from Luoshen Peak.

As the only prince to successfully annihilate Luoshen Peak, Li Musheng naturally could not deny the other party's great contribution.

In addition, spreading the news from Hundred Refinement City will greatly boost the morale of the Heavenly Brocade Guards, giving everyone hope for annihilating Fallen God Peak.

Fu Qiwen's move is undoubtedly of great significance.

However, shortly after the news broke, the eldest disciple of the Luoshen Peak sect sent out a golden flame signal.

This also shocked Fu Qiwen once again, making him realize that Li Musheng had eliminated another extremely important figure from Luoshen Peak.

"Ryan, who do you think His Highness killed this time?"

Fu Qiwen turned to Hu Ruian beside him and asked. He was now clearly slowly accepting the fact that Li Musheng, the eighth prince newly recognized by Emperor Yuanwu, was actually a top-notch expert.

At this moment, Hu Ruian glanced at Fu Qiwen and couldn't help but think to himself, "He's so far away, and he doesn't have eyes that can see a thousand miles, how could he know who His Highness killed?"
However, he naturally couldn't voice his true thoughts, so he changed his mind and said:
"Your Highness is unaware of this, but Your Highness must have already attracted a great deal of attention from Fallen God Peak in Hundred Refinement City. This is a rare opportunity for us. I suggest we seize this opportunity to make a full-scale advance and strive to take over Imperial Star Peak as quickly as possible."

Upon hearing this, Fu Qiwen composed himself, then slowly nodded and said:
"That's what I meant."

……

In the mountains and forests a few miles away from Yulan City, Sikong Xuan, the former commander of the Dali Tianjin Guard, stood with his body hunched over.

His hair was completely white, his face was withered, and his eyes were frighteningly cloudy.

Upon hearing the message relayed by his subordinates from Fu Qiwen, the current commander of the Tianjin Guard of Dali, his aged face showed a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

"I have been living in seclusion in the countryside. When did the Great Li produce a prince with such terrifying martial arts skills?"

Sikong Xuan's voice was hoarse, and he was somewhat skeptical of the contents of Fu Qiwen's message.

But in reality, he knew very well that Fu Qiwen, the adopted son to whom he had personally handed over the power of the Tianjin Guard, would never deceive him under these circumstances.

At this moment, the subordinate who delivered the message quickly replied:

"Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince is a newly recognized prince by His Majesty. He had been living among the common people until recently when he returned to the capital."
