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

Chapter 347 Detention
On the ninth floor of the Xuanji Palace, a figure with disheveled hair and an obscured face sat cross-legged in the center of the main hall.

Behind him was a prison made of fine iron and bound with heavy iron chains. There were five such prisons, and each one was filled with prisoners.

Upon seeing this, Li Musheng's expression shifted. He glanced at the five cells, searching for the senior sister of the Taoist Qingye.

Finally, his gaze fell upon the iron cage in the very center.

At this moment, a woman was sitting cross-legged in the iron cell. She looked to be about twenty or thirty years old, which was obviously inconsistent with the age of the Taoist Sister Qingye.

However, Li Musheng knew that Qingye Daoist's senior sister had cultivated the Longevity Scripture and might have already regained her youth.

"Excuse me, are you Master Qingyu?"

Li Musheng looked at the woman's figure in the iron cage and asked directly.

His voice echoed in the somewhat empty nine-story hall, instantly attracting the attention of the five people imprisoned in the iron cell, as well as the disheveled, seated figure.

The woman in white looked at Li Musheng, her face expressionless, and remained silent, not answering Li Musheng's question.

At this moment, an elderly man with a prosperous appearance, imprisoned in the rightmost iron cell, glanced at Li Musheng and the others who had arrived with a struggling look in his eyes, and then spoke haltingly with difficulty:

"They...feed us...a kind of...medicine...we will gradually...lose consciousness..."

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng and the experts from the eighth underground level all looked at the portly old man. The fat old man who had spoken to Li Musheng earlier frowned and asked:
"Who are you? Is the woman in the middle the Daoist Qingyu that you mentioned, young hero?"

Upon hearing this, the well-to-do elderly man who was being held captive seemed to fall into deep thought, his expression turning extremely pained. He then gripped his head tightly with both hands and said:
"I am... the head manager of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce..."

Upon hearing this, the fat old man and the other martial arts masters following Li Musheng all showed expressions of surprise.

"You are the head manager of the number one merchant guild in Da Xuan, and are known as the richest person in the entire Da Xuan?"

The fat old man spoke with a look of surprise and doubt, clearly not expecting that the incredibly wealthy Da Xuan would be imprisoned in this Xuanji Palace.

It should be noted that although the head manager of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce in front of us has only average martial arts talent, he is extremely wealthy and has access to many precious martial arts manuals and elixirs.

Therefore, he had many followers, including many extremely powerful martial arts masters who protected him, and he also had close relationships with various princes and nobles.

But for some unknown reason, this shrewd and resourceful person, who was incredibly influential in the Great Xuan, was also imprisoned in the Xuanji Palace.

Li Musheng wasn't interested in the wealthy old man's identity; he simply pointed to the woman in the middle cell and asked:
Do you know who she is?

Seeing this, the portly old man turned to look at the woman in white in the middle cell, then shook his head vigorously with a pained expression, saying:

"I don't know...who she is...I only vaguely heard those people interrogating...the whereabouts of a martial arts technique..."

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng's eyes flickered, and he asked:

"Is that cultivation technique called the Longevity Scripture?"

However, before the portly old man could answer, the figure sitting cross-legged in the center of the hall had his hair disheveled and moved without wind, revealing an extremely ugly face.

Then, his dark eyes fixed on Li Musheng, and he slowly spoke:

"It's been a long time since anyone has been able to break into this place..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the true energy of heaven and earth in the entire hall suddenly vanished, and the surrounding space seemed to solidify, becoming as viscous as swamp mud. For a moment, the martial arts masters who had followed Li Musheng to the ninth underground level, as well as Zhao Muning, were all stunned.

An indescribable fear suddenly rose from their hearts. At this moment, everyone could feel in horror that an invisible giant hand was tightly gripping their bodies.

Meanwhile, the vast martial arts true energy within their dantian meridians was also imprisoned at the same time, unable to circulate even slightly.

As a master of the Celestial Realm, the surrounding space loses its true energy, and the martial arts true energy within the body cannot be used. This is undoubtedly no different from a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

At this moment, the expressions of all the martial arts masters guarding the eighth underground level changed drastically. They only knew that the ninth underground level was guarded by the once infamous "Fire Cloud Evil God".

However, none of them had ever been to the ninth floor before, nor had they ever had any interaction with the other party.

They never expected that the opponent's martial arts strength would be so terrifying, far surpassing their own.

Before they even saw how he made a move, the lives of these martial arts masters guarding the eighth floor were already in his hands.

“Senior Fire Cloud Evil God, we are all guardians of the Xuanji Palace, just like you. We have no ill intentions in coming to your place tonight.”

Someone hurriedly spoke up to avoid being accidentally injured by the Fiery Cloud Evil God in front of them.

The ugly-faced Fire Cloud Evil God remained expressionless, his dark eyes darting past Zhao Muning, focusing instead on Li Musheng among the crowd, before casually speaking:

"Young man, I can tell they all seem afraid of you. You must be the expert who's challenging us tonight, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Muning, who was intimidated by the Fire Cloud Evil God's aura, also stared intently at Li Musheng.

Throughout her journey, Li Musheng's influence on her has been immense.

At first, she thought that Li Musheng was only unparalleled in lightness skills and possessed martial arts skills far superior to her own.

But it's not to the point that I think the other party can clear the entire Xuanji Palace.

However, as the other party led him down to the ninth underground level, and the martial arts masters guarding the eighth level were all defeated in one move.

She found it increasingly difficult to understand Li Musheng's martial arts skills. Previously, she thought he possessed a terrifying martial arts talent similar to that of the Eighth Prince of Dali.

Now, she even felt that the other party's martial arts cultivation might not be inferior to that of the eighth prince of Dali.

"you……"

Zhao Muning was about to speak when she realized she didn't know whether Li Musheng or the Fire Cloud Evil God in front of her was stronger.

But at this moment, her admiration for Li Musheng's talent had reached an unprecedented level; she truly wanted to recruit such a gifted individual as Li Musheng.

If such a person cannot join the Great Xuan Dynasty, it will be an unimaginable loss for the entire Great Xuan Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhao Muning did not want to see Li Musheng suffer any accidents or injuries from fighting with the Fire Cloud Evil God.

After all, Li Musheng is still very young. Even though he is not a match for the Fire Cloud Evil God now, given time, it will not be a problem for him to defeat the infamous opponent.
