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

Chapter 259 Feelings
Yuwen Chengqing and the others, who were watching the big black cat, naturally noticed its movements and immediately shifted their gaze to look into the deep night behind the cat.

Immediately, everyone saw the figure of a handsome young man slowly emerge from the darkness.

The young man appeared to have no martial arts aura, and walked towards the blue brick path in front of the small hall as if taking a leisurely stroll.

As everyone's attention turned to Li Musheng, he slowly glanced at them before finally fixing his gaze on the blind old man.

At this moment, the big black cat seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when it saw that Li Musheng had finally arrived. It immediately turned around and darted back to Li Musheng's side in three quick steps.

Previously, following Li Musheng, it was invincible on the main peak of Luoshen Peak. It used its power to intimidate people, and even the elders with extremely strong martial arts skills on Luoshen Peak were no match for it and Li Musheng.

Clearly, the big black cat had gotten a bit cocky at the time, rampaging recklessly on Luoshen Peak. But unexpectedly, it had just encountered a terrifying expert like the blind old man, which hadn't scared its cat courage away.

Immediately, the big black cat, carrying the dark blue jade tablet, looked up at Li Musheng and meowed twice. Then it stretched out its paw and pointed at the blind old man and the others, as if it were making a accusation.

Clearly, in the big black cat's view, if it can't handle someone, then Li Musheng will naturally step in and make amends for what happened earlier.

Li Musheng ignored the large black cat, only glancing at the blind old man in front of the small hall, before asking thoughtfully:
"You're the martial uncle of the sect leader of Falling God Peak? I've heard Lord Fu mention you before."

In Li Musheng's opinion, among the people in front of him, only the blind old man was of decent strength, and he happened to be the same person that Fu Qiwen had asked him to find.

When Li Musheng asked the question, the blind old man's gray eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Although he couldn't see Li Musheng's face, he could tell from Li Musheng's voice and the vigorous vitality in his body that he was a young man who was not very old.

However, just as Sikong Xuan and the others perceived him, Li Musheng was also an ordinary person with no martial arts cultivation in his perception at this moment.

This undoubtedly made him hesitate. Then, his throat moved slightly, emitting a rough sound like coarse sand rubbing against something, and he asked:

"Could it be that you, young master, intervened and stopped me from drawing my sword just now?"

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Chengqing's gaze towards Li Musheng narrowed slightly.

Meanwhile, Sikong Xuan, Yu Mianjiao, and Ouyang Mingqi's expressions kept changing.

They had never met Li Musheng before, nor did they know that the young man before them was the Eighth Prince of Dali who had single-handedly killed the sect leader and the four Venerables of Luoshen Peak.

Moreover, they didn't think they were so lucky to run into the Eighth Prince, whom they had been longing to see, right here.

However, judging from what Li Musheng just said about knowing Fu Qiwen, they could roughly guess that the other party must be someone from the Dali Tianjin Guard.

At this moment, Li Musheng frowned slightly when he saw that the blind old man was not answering his questions but instead asking him questions.

The big black cat beside him, observing the situation, immediately meowed and pointed at the blind old man with its paw, clearly speaking ill of him.

Seeing this, Li Musheng glanced at the big black cat, then suddenly chuckled and said:
"You're quite the vengeful one."

Then, Li Musheng took a step and walked towards the blind old man.

The big black cat immediately followed him closely, and the two of them stepped into the blind old man's sword prison.

Soon, Yuwen Chengqing and the others were all shocked to see that as the man and the cat took a step forward, the Senluo Sword Prison, with its crisscrossing sword energy like a net covering the sky, retreated a step.

The powerful sword intent, condensed from the imagery of slaughter, even trembled slightly, as if avoiding a snake or scorpion at the man and the cat.

The blind old man naturally sensed all of this, and his withered face immediately changed expression.

At the same time, Li Musheng's voice floated lightly in his ear, saying:

"Isn't it time to answer my question?"

……

The blind old man suddenly took a step back, as if struck by lightning. He abruptly looked up, his gray and lifeless eyes staring straight at the person and the cat.

Although he couldn't see Li Musheng and the big black cat, he could sense that a faint aura had appeared there at some unknown time.

That aura was vast and powerful, as if a mountain range and a deep sea were slowly moving towards him.

He felt as insignificant as an ant in front of it, as if he would be instantly crushed and obliterated if that wisp of energy were to descend upon him.

Even at this very moment, the incomparably deadly sword shadow that had been hovering above the blind old man's head began to sway slightly.

The blind old man suddenly looked up, his face filled with horror!

With a wave of his hand, he immediately removed the Senluo Sword Prison that had been enveloping Sikong Xuan and the others.

The next moment, the blind old man disappeared from his spot, and when he reappeared, he had already retreated back into the small hall.

His hunched body suddenly straightened up.

The sword shadow that had been hovering above his head had somehow fallen into his hand and merged with the cane he had been using to support himself, transforming into a long, gleaming green sword.

At this moment, the sharpness of the longsword in the blind old man's hand seemed capable of cleaving through the darkness before him.

"I am not the sect leader's uncle, but merely an ordinary servant disciple of this peak. You must have the wrong person!"

The blind old man faced Li Musheng and spoke in a deep voice, immediately disregarding his relationship with the leader of the Fallen God Sect and revealing his identity.

At the same time, Sikong Xuan and the other two felt the blazing sword prison enveloping them dissipate, and the sword hanging above their heads vanished in an instant. They all breathed a sigh of relief, having narrowly escaped death.

The next moment, they seemed to finally realize something, and immediately stared intently at Li Musheng, who was carrying a cat.

Previously, they had not considered Li Musheng to be the Eighth Prince, thinking that he was likely backed by a powerful figure.

But at this moment, they saw with their own eyes that Li Musheng was so frightened by simply walking towards the blind old man that the man retreated into the small hall in a panic.

Only then did they belatedly realize that someone so young and possessing such terrifying strength could only be the legendary Eighth Prince.

The three of them simply couldn't think of anyone else who could match the identity of the person before them!

Meanwhile, Yuwen Chengqing looked horrified.

The blind old man left, leaving him alone in the same spot. He dared not follow the man into the ancestral hall, nor did he dare to flee immediately.

He didn't believe he could escape from under the nose of someone even a blind old man feared.

At this moment, besides trying his best to remain still and barely suppressing the urge to escape immediately, he was constantly speculating about Li Musheng's identity.

However, he clearly knew less than Sikong Xuan and the others, so no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out who Li Musheng really was.
At this moment, upon hearing the blind old man deny his guess, Li Musheng raised an eyebrow and stopped, leading the large black cat. Li Musheng naturally suspected the blind old man was lying, so he turned his gaze to Sikong Xuan and the others.

He didn't actually know these people, but he could guess that Sikong Xuan and the other two, who were almost killed by the blind old man, should be on his side.

"Does anyone know the situation? Tell me, is what this old man is saying true?"

Li Musheng looked at Sikong Xuan and the other two, and suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Sikong Xuan, Yu Mianjiao, and Ouyang Mingqi immediately came to their senses.

Sikong Xuan was about to reply immediately, but he swallowed his words back down, because he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to know the blind old man's identity.

At this moment, Ouyang Mingqi preemptively bowed to Li Musheng and said:

"Your Highness, as far as I know, this person should have no connection with the leader of Luoshen Peak."

"However, besides his two senior uncles, the head of Luoshen Peak does indeed have a junior uncle. But that person is rarely seen, and the head of Luoshen Peak has almost never acknowledged his identity in front of others. Therefore, very few people know his identity."

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng frowned slightly, glanced at the blind old man in the ancestral hall in the distance, and immediately lost interest.

Then, his gaze fell on Ouyang Mingqi, and he asked:
"you know me?"

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Mingqi's mind was immediately filled with turbulent emotions.

Previously, he had only speculated, but now that he had confirmed Li Musheng's identity and was meeting the legendary Eighth Prince of Dali in person,
Seeing that the other party was indeed so young and had unfathomable martial arts strength, it was impossible not to be excited and shocked!

However, Ouyang Mingqi tried his best to remain calm and immediately replied:

"Your Highness's ability to single-handedly suppress the sect leader of Luoshen Peak and the four Venerables has already spread throughout the Tianjin Guard. I have been fortunate enough to hear of Your Highness's reputation, and my admiration for Your Highness is like a surging river, never-ending."

"It is truly an honor to be able to meet Your Highness in person!"

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng immediately glanced at Ouyang Mingqi again.

This person's words are indeed very pleasant to hear, but they just feel a bit obsequious.

Overall, however, he was quite pleased with it, so he stroked his chin, looked at Ouyang Mingqi, and asked:

"You don't look like a member of the Tianjin Guard. Do you know where the martial uncle of the Luoshen Peak Sect Master is?"

Ouyang Mingqi was naturally able to sense the change in Li Musheng's attitude towards him; however, his words just now were sincere.

Li Musheng possessed unparalleled talent and terrifying martial arts skills, truly the likes of which he had never seen before, leaving him in awe.

Moreover, Li Musheng had just saved their lives, so no amount of praise would be excessive.

"Your Highness has keen insight. I was not a member of the Great Li Heavenly Guard before, but rather a peak master of Luoshen Peak. However, after witnessing Your Highness's supreme divine might, I immediately abandoned the darkness and joined the Great Li court."

Ouyang Mingqi bowed and greeted the guests with a solemn expression, then spoke.

Right after he finished speaking, both Sikong Xuan and Yu Mianjiao couldn't help but cast extremely strange glances at him.

Especially Yu Mianjiao, she had never seen her senior brother Ouyang with such a sycophantic face.

Even when facing the sect leader, she had never seen him say such things before.

However, Yu Mianjiao suddenly felt a chill in her heart and vaguely realized that she seemed to have missed something.
At this moment, Sikong Xuan squinted at Ouyang Mingqi, then his gaze returned to Li Musheng.

He seemed to want to see through the Eighth Prince in front of him, but no matter how he looked at him, the other party still looked ordinary and unremarkable, and he couldn't see through him at all.

Ouyang Mingqi could naturally sense their gazes, but he seemed oblivious, continuing to reply to Li Musheng:

"Your Highness, as far as I know, the senior uncle of the Fallen God Peak Sect is a person with supernatural abilities, just like the Four Venerables."

"Moreover, her ability is extremely special, allowing her to appear and disappear without a trace. If she sees that the situation at Luoshen Peak is hopeless and chooses to flee, it will be very difficult for us to find her again."

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng raised an eyebrow, but quickly waved his hand and said:

"If we can't find her, so be it. It's not like we absolutely have to find her."

Without further ado, Li Musheng glanced at Ouyang Mingqi with satisfaction and said:
"That's right. Now that you've joined the Tianjin Guard, do your best for them. Lord Fu will certainly not treat you unfairly."

For Li Musheng, the Great Li Tianjin Guard would be his from now on, and he would naturally be happy to have another peak leader from Luoshen Peak as his subordinate.

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Mingqi was moved to tears and immediately bowed deeply, saying:

"Your Highness, I will never fail your expectations. I will dedicate my life to serving the Tianjin Guard!"

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng nodded slightly.

Immediately, his eyes flickered, his gaze sweeping over Sikong Xuan and Yu Mianjiao, and he narrowed his eyes, saying:
"Are you also members of the Tianjin Guard?"

Upon hearing this, Sikong Xuan and Yu Mianjiao immediately dared not be negligent and both revealed their identities.

Especially Yu Mianjiao, when she realized that she was a step behind Ouyang Mingqi, she seized the opportunity and hurriedly expressed her loyalty to Li Musheng.

Sikong Xuan saw all of this, and a sense of regret and pity inexplicably arose in his heart.

If he were ten or more years younger and met this Eighth Prince, he might very well have served under him and accomplished a magnificent and earth-shattering feat.

Unfortunately, he is nearing the end of his life and will not live much longer, so any further declarations of loyalty would be meaningless.

Therefore, Sikong Xuan had no choice but to kneel before Li Musheng and sigh in a trembling voice:

"This old minister, now in his twilight years, is deeply grateful to Your Highness for saving my life. To have met such an unparalleled person as Your Highness in my lifetime is already a great blessing. Even if I were to die, I would have no regrets!"

Li Musheng could naturally sense Sikong Xuan's current state. Seeing that the other party was speaking so earnestly and expressing his emotions, he reached out and patted the other party's shoulder to comfort him.

At this moment, Ouyang Mingqi and Yu Mianjiao glanced at Sikong Xuan almost imperceptibly, both sighing inwardly:
"As expected, experience counts!"

After comforting Sikong Xuan, Li Musheng suddenly felt that the Tianjin Guard's acquisition of two generals, Ouyang Mingqi and Yu Mianjiao, was not enough.

Immediately, his gaze shifted, fixing on Yuwen Chengqing and the blind old man in the small hall, and he narrowed his eyes as he asked:

"Don't you have anything you want to say to me?"
