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

Chapter 342 Restrictions
At the same time, Zhao Muning, who was standing still, was also taken aback.

His gaze was fixed on Li Musheng, who had somehow become standing quietly beside the old man in black, and the old man in black, who was no longer moving as before. His eyes were filled with doubt and uncertainty.

She had just remembered the identity of the Black Moon Elder and was about to say some flattering words to him so that it would be easier to talk to him when she revealed her identity as a princess later.

But before she could finish speaking, Li Musheng subdued her, and the Black Moon Elder had no power to resist at all from beginning to end.

Black Moon Old Man is a renowned master in the martial arts world of Da Xuan. Although he only guards the first level of Xuanji Palace, his martial arts strength is far beyond that of ordinary masters.

Li Musheng's ability to defeat his opponent so easily clearly indicates that his martial arts skills are at least at the level of a guardian master of the third or fourth level of Xuanji Palace.

"Stop glaring at me and answer my question."

Li Musheng glanced at the Black Moon Old Man, who looked like a clay sculpture, and continued to ask about the things he cared about.

Black Moon Old Man finally came to his senses, his turbid eyes fixed on Li Musheng, as if trying to determine whether he was a disguised old monster from the martial arts world.

After a moment, the Black Moon Elder's eyes shifted, and he said:
"It was my carelessness. As expected, none of those who can enter the Xuanji Palace are simple people."

Having said that, he naturally understood that his life was now in Li Musheng's hands, and dared not be as arrogant as before. He immediately replied:

"Young hero, you've come to the right place if you're looking for a place to imprison people in this Xuanji Palace. The entire Xuanji Palace is actually a huge prison."

"We, the martial arts masters guarding the tower, which spans nine floors above ground and nine floors below ground, are, to put it bluntly, people imprisoned here."

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng frowned.

He originally planned to find out where the person was being held and then go straight to the place to find the person, but judging from the old man's intentions, it was clear that he wanted him to run through all eighteen levels of the Xuanji Palace.

Thinking of this, Li Musheng's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

He found searching layer by layer too troublesome.

Li Musheng thought for a moment, then asked:
"Has anyone been imprisoned in the Xuanji Palace in recent months?"

"The last few months?"

Upon hearing this, the Black Moon Elder pondered for a moment, then said thoughtfully:

"In the past six months, I have seen the gates of Xuanji Palace open twice, and both times it was a few old eunuchs from the Great Xuan Imperial Palace who led people in."

"Are there any elderly Taoist nuns among these people?" Li Musheng asked.

"I have no idea who they brought with them."

The Black Moon Elder's murky eyes flickered slightly, and he added:

"However, the old eunuchs led their men down to the underground, so they must be imprisoning the person on the ninth underground floor."

Li Musheng's brows relaxed slightly; it seemed he wouldn't need to climb the stairs to the ground floor anymore.

Immediately, Li Musheng asked the Black Moon Elder for directions to the underground passage, and then opened the mechanical black iron gate.

Then, ignoring the Black Moon Elder, he looked at Zhao Mu Ning and said:
"Let's go down and have a look."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Muning didn't say much, only nodded. Li Musheng's martial arts cultivation was beyond her expectations.

She was now somewhat curious about how many levels the other party could actually break into in this Mysterious Palace.

It is important to know that the strength of the martial arts masters guarding each level of the Xuanji Palace increases.

Zhao Muning had never heard of anyone who could actually pass through the nine levels of the Mysterious Palace.

Of course, even if such a master truly exists, he or she may already be imprisoned in this Xuanji Palace, and thus remain unknown to outsiders.

“Um… young hero, shouldn’t I have my acupoints released?” At this moment, Black Moon Old Man saw that Li Musheng and the other man had finished asking their questions and were about to leave, so he hurriedly spoke up.

Li Musheng stopped and turned to glance at the Black Moon Elder, narrowing his eyes slightly as he said:
"What did you call me just now?"

Upon hearing this, the Black Moon Elder paused slightly, then tentatively asked:

"Young hero?"

"No, it was just a little while after I came in."

Li Musheng shook his head. At this moment, Hei Yueyinsou understood what Li Musheng meant.

It was obvious that he had called the other person "little kitten" earlier, and the other person held a grudge against him. Not unraveling his own acupoints was his punishment.

"I know I was wrong. I was blind and offended you, young hero. Please forgive me this time."

A hint of urgency flashed in the eyes of the Black Moon Elder, while Li Musheng waved his hand and said:
"The acupoints will release on their own after seven days. If you persevere for seven days, you shouldn't starve to death."

After saying that, Li Musheng prepared to turn and leave, after all, he had already shown mercy to the old man.

If the other party continues to whine and complain, they'll be rather ungrateful.

However, upon hearing this, the Black Moon Elder's expression immediately turned extremely ugly, and he said anxiously:

"Young hero, please wait. You may not know this, but all the martial arts masters in Xuanji Palace are poisoned by a strange poison. They must use their internal energy to suppress it every six hours to prevent the poison from taking effect."

"I will have to suppress the poison in half an hour. Now that my acupoints are sealed, I will surely die from the poison."

"Perhaps, young hero, you should find another way to punish me..."

Upon hearing this, both Li Musheng and Zhao Muning stopped in their tracks.

Zhao Muning had speculated about the methods Xuanji Palace used to imprison and detain martial arts masters. Besides having experts from the imperial palace guarding them, it was inevitable that they would use other special methods to control these martial arts masters.

However, this was the first time she had confirmed this matter with the words of a master from Xuanji Palace, and she was quite curious about the kind of poison that could make these martial arts masters submit.

Li Musheng, meanwhile, gazed at the Black Moon Old Man, stroked his chin, and looked thoughtful.

At this moment, seeing that Li Musheng did not leave immediately, the Black Moon Elder breathed a slight sigh of relief and said:

"Young hero, as long as you can restore my mobility and enable me to suppress the poison, I will accept any other punishment as you see fit."

"Are you sure?" Li Musheng raised an eyebrow.

"Of course, as long as you spare my life, young hero."

Black Moon Old Man nodded immediately. He had been in the martial world for a long time and knew countless people. He could naturally see that although Li Musheng's martial arts skills were amazing, he was still too young and his methods were not extreme or ruthless enough.

He believed that even if the other party made a move, they wouldn't be too ruthless.

At this moment, Li Musheng nodded slightly and said:

"That's what you said."

After saying that, he flicked his finger, and the Black Moon Elder felt his body lighten. The acupoints that had been sealed around his body were instantly opened, and he was able to circulate his true energy freely.

Seeing this, the Black Moon Elder was overjoyed and was about to express his gratitude.

But the next moment, a talismanic light arrived instantly and quietly entered his body.
