Chapter 300 Oppression
Li Musheng glanced at Huo Xian and the others, then waved his hand and said:

“You did the right thing. I have no interest in the throne.”

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanling frowned slightly and looked at Li Musheng with some surprise.

At the same time, the purple-clad girl, who was holding a silver spear in one hand and carrying the young man from the Dugu family in the other, suddenly loosened her grip, and the blood-covered boy fell to the ground with a thud.

"A master..."

Her dark eyes stared blankly at Li Musheng, clearly recognizing his voice immediately.

This is the Eighth Prince right in front of us. Just now, he was asked to fight four people by himself, and suddenly he inexplicably gained "invincible" strength.

Huo Mu had naturally heard of the world-renowned deeds of her nominal "cousin" prince, but when she felt the power within her own body, she truly understood just how terrifying and powerful he was!

At this moment, Huo Qifeng and Huo Shan seemed to understand something as well, and they both looked at Li Musheng in the small building with surprise and uncertainty.

Unconsciously, a little girl who was only at the Acquired Realm possessed strength surpassing that of Dugu Yan and the old man in blue robes, which was simply astonishing.

The two champions of Dali, Huo Xian and Huo Zhen, were also watching the seemingly nonchalant young figure in the small building. However, they were not surprised, as they seemed to have already guessed that it was Li Musheng who helped Huo Mu.

The two men simply frowned and stared at Li Musheng, as if trying to see through him.

Facing the gazes of the group, Li Musheng remained calm, glanced at Li Yuanling, and said:
"Sister-in-law, you've been here for quite a while now, why don't you get down to business?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanling turned her gaze away from Li Musheng and then looked at Huo Xian and the others.

After a moment's thought, she spoke:

"We came to the Huo residence to find a young lady who appeared near the Huo residence about ten days ago. Do you three uncles have any clues?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Xian and Huo Zhen exchanged a glance, while Huo Qifeng and Huo Shan frowned, their faces showing deep thought.

After a moment, Huo Qifeng seemed to remember something and was about to speak, but he quickly stopped and turned his gaze to his two older brothers, Huo Xian and Huo Zhen.

At the same time, Huo Zhen pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked at Li Yuanling and asked:
"Excuse my boldness, but may I ask what the relationship is between the young lady Your Highness mentioned and Your Highnesses?"

Li Yuanling nodded slightly and said:
“She’s helping her sworn brother find something that’s very important to us.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Zhen and Huo Xian exchanged a glance and remained silent for a moment, while Huo Qifeng murmured in thought:
"For His Highnesses to come in person, that young lady must indeed be very important."

Huo Zhen glanced at his third brother, his expression shifting slightly, then cupped his hands to Li Yuanling and Li Musheng, saying:

"Please grant us a day to investigate the young lady's situation before giving us a reply."

Li Yuanling glanced at the Huo family members, then looked at Li Musheng, clearly wanting to ask for his opinion.

Li Musheng shook his head, his gaze falling on Huo Zhen and Huo Xian, and said calmly:

“We can’t wait. Miss Cang is my right-hand woman. You’d better give me an answer now.” Upon hearing this, Li Yuanling’s expression changed immediately.

Although she did not sense any displeasure from Li Musheng, his direct rejection of Huo Zhen's suggestion already made his attitude clear.

Immediately, she turned to look at Huo Xian, the champion of Dali, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and asked with a puzzled expression:
"Uncle, do you really not know the whereabouts of that Miss Cang?"

Huo Xian, with a full head of white hair, closed his eyes slightly, then sighed and said:
"I am a cripple and have long since stopped asking about matters of the household. However, since my second brother says he needs to investigate, I would like to ask Your Highnesses to grant the Huo family one day. I will then give you both a satisfactory answer."

Li Yuanling's expression changed for a moment, then she reached out and rubbed her eyebrows before turning to look at Li Musheng.

She was about to speak when Li Musheng stopped her with a gesture, glanced calmly at Huo Xian, and said:
"I don't want to take action because we're relatives. I don't know what your thoughts and concerns are?"

"But I promised Miss Cang that if something can be resolved with force, it's not a big deal. I can't go back on my word. I hope you will carefully consider every word you say next."

Upon hearing this, the entire courtyard building fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.

The Huo family members all looked at Li Musheng. The Eighth Prince in front of them remained expressionless from beginning to end, with no fluctuations of true energy around him and no martial arts pressure released whatsoever.

But they dared not ignore a single word the other party said.

"Second brother..."

Huo Qifeng suddenly frowned and looked at Huo Zhen, his expression shifting, clearly wanting to say something, but Huo Zhen stopped him with a gesture.

At this moment, Huo Zhen, dressed in gray, took a deep breath, then looked at Li Musheng, cupped his hands, bowed, and said:
"We are all grateful to Your Highness for helping the Huo family out of their predicament. If Your Highness needs anything in the future, the Huo family will do everything in its power to repay Your Highness's kindness."

"Regarding the matter of that young lady, I would appreciate it if Your Highness could grant the Huo family some time..."

However, before Huo Zhen could finish speaking, he suddenly felt an invisible force descend upon him, forcing him to stop talking and concentrate on dealing with it.

In an instant, an extremely terrifying aura erupted from the elderly former General of the Cavalry of the Great Li Dynasty, whose body was slightly aged.

His inner energy surged like wind and clouds, constantly converging into a phantom image of a long spear pointing straight to the sky.

The phantom was entwined with a coiled dragon, reaching for the sky and shaking the earth, rooted in the void.
In an instant, the tip of the spear, like a cold star in the darkness, was surrounded by countless solid spear shadows that intertwined and burst forth, like wild snakes dancing wildly and black dragons rolling, with endless sharpness converging into an invisible storm.

Huo Zhen tried to resist the force pressing down on him with his own concentrated spear intent, but the force became heavier and heavier as his spear intent grew stronger. Even if he did his best, the invisible force was like an unshakable mountain, making it hard for him to breathe.

Huo Zhen's face gradually grew paler and paler, and his body, shrouded in the shadow of the gun, even trembled slightly.

Upon seeing this scene, Li Yuanling, Huo Qifeng, and the others all looked anxious and immediately turned to look at Li Musheng, who was sitting on the bamboo chair.

Li Musheng, however, remained unmoved by the gazes of the crowd, simply picking up his teacup and drinking his tea as if it had nothing to do with Huo Zhen's affairs.
