Chapter 348 One move

However, before Zhao Muning could speak, Li Musheng, standing beside her, glanced at the Fire Cloud Evil God sitting cross-legged on the ground, then raised an eyebrow and said:
"You're ugly, fine, but why do you have to come out and scare people?"

He's always been a sucker for good looks, so it was one thing for Fire Cloud Evil God to have his hair disheveled and his face covered up.

But the other party's sudden revelation of his appearance was particularly eerie under the dim light of the ninth underground floor, making him feel somewhat uneasy.

Upon hearing Li Musheng's words, all the martial arts masters of the Great Xuan Sect, including Zhao Muning, were taken aback.

His gaze instinctively drifted towards Li Musheng, then suddenly turned to the Fire Cloud Evil God.

As everyone knows, the Fire Cloud Evil God is infamous in the martial arts world. He is capricious and has committed countless murders. Anyone who heard Li Musheng's words would be furious, let alone the man in front of him.

Everyone could almost foresee that the Fire Cloud Evil God would be enraged and attack Li Musheng, and that the two would inevitably have a life-or-death confrontation.

However, to everyone's great surprise, the ugly-looking Fire Cloud Evil God, who was originally sitting cross-legged in the center of the hall, appeared extremely calm.

He did not react to Li Musheng's words at all, but just sat cross-legged on the ground without moving.

For a moment, a look of surprise and doubt inevitably appeared in everyone's hearts.

With their eyes fixed on the Fire Cloud Evil God, they wondered if the rumors in the martial arts world were wrong, and if his behavior was not as they had imagined.

But soon, Zhao Muning immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Because she discovered that, under the dim light of the oil lamps in the entire ninth-floor hall, the Fire Cloud Evil God sitting cross-legged in the center was clearly suspicious.

Even though the other party didn't make a move in the face of Li Musheng's mocking words, he remained completely silent after Li Musheng spoke.

Moreover, Zhao Muning observed that the Fire Cloud Evil God's expression seemed somewhat stiff and blank, similar to her own situation when Li Musheng sealed her acupoints and she was unable to move.

Thinking of this, a guess suddenly surfaced in Zhao Muning's mind.

Immediately, she looked at Li Musheng with some surprise and uncertainty:

"Could it be... that even the Fire Cloud Evil God guarding the ninth floor was suppressed by him in one move?"

Once the thought arose, it continued to spread and grow, and the next moment, Li Musheng's action directly confirmed her idea.

With a casual wave of his hand, Li Musheng caused the Fire Cloud Evil God, who had been sitting cross-legged in the center of the hall, to spin around and turn his back. He then slid across the floor to a corner of the hall where the oil lamps couldn't reach, disappearing into the shadows.

All the martial arts masters, including Zhao Muning and Li Musheng, could no longer see the figure of the Fire Cloud Evil God.

Throughout the entire process, the Fire Cloud Evil God remained completely still.

Upon seeing this scene, everyone immediately realized that the Fire Cloud Evil God, who had previously been able to suppress them all in an instant and control their lives and deaths, had now met the same fate as them.

He couldn't even withstand a single move from Li Musheng, and was swept into a corner as if he were trash.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, then their gazes instinctively turned to Li Musheng. Their fear grew stronger and stronger!
Even the top master of the Great Xuan Jianghu, Fire Cloud Evil God, was no match for this young man in a single move. It was truly unimaginable how terrifying his true martial arts strength was.
Or perhaps, is there really anyone in the entire Great Xuan martial arts world who can rival this young man?
It's likely that even the leaders and patriarchs of the seven major sects couldn't achieve this, nor could the leaders and demons of the three major demonic sects. Perhaps only a handful of martial saints and martial gods in the martial arts world could possess similarly powerful martial arts strength.

……

Meanwhile, Li Musheng casually swept the Fire Cloud Evil God aside. Once he could no longer see that terrifying ugly face, he ignored the group of martial arts masters and Zhao Muning beside him.

Instead, he moved swiftly and arrived before the five iron cells on the ninth floor.

He glanced at the white-clad woman in the central iron cage, then turned his gaze to the head manager of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce, and said:
“Continue answering my question.”

Upon hearing this, the head manager of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce looked at Li Musheng with a pained expression.

Although he was not fully conscious at the moment, he had still vaguely seen the scene of Fire Cloud Evil God being swept away by Li Musheng.

As the head manager of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce, he was well aware of the terrifying power of the Fire Cloud Evil God. At this moment, as if grasping at a straw, he managed to utter a difficult sentence:
"Please... young hero... save me... whatever you want... I will give you everything..."

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng sized up the portly old man before him for a moment, then narrowed his eyes slightly and said:

"It's not impossible to get you out of here, but you'd better answer my questions first."

Li Musheng had naturally heard about the identity of the head manager of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce from those martial arts masters.

Li Musheng didn't value the money of this incredibly wealthy man from the Great Xuan Dynasty. Instead, he suddenly thought that the man might be able to work for him and help him find the key to the Heavenly Revelation Treasure, the Fire Qilin, and other such items.

Therefore, it's worthwhile to rescue someone like this.

Upon hearing this, the head manager of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce clutched his head, his expression pained, yet a hint of joy flickered in his eyes. He immediately shook his head vigorously to clear his mind and said:

"If... I remember correctly... they did ask her... about things related to immortality..."

Li Musheng's eyes flickered, and he immediately turned to look at the group of martial arts masters behind him and Zhao Muning, asking:
Has any of you seen Master Qingyu of Qingyun Temple?

Upon hearing this, everyone who was still somewhat stunned came to their senses. Zhao Muning had never met the Taoist Qingyu before, so she did not speak, but stared intently at Li Musheng with an inscrutable expression.

The other martial arts masters paused for only a moment before one of the elders hesitated before speaking:

"I once met Master Qingyu, but although he is not as old as I am, he is certainly not as young as this woman in front of me."

Li Musheng waved his hand, then called out to the old man:

"Come over here and take a closer look. Don't they look alike?"

Although the Taoist priest Qingye did draw a portrait of Li Musheng's senior sister, his drawing skills were really not very good.

Li Musheng couldn't tell for a moment whether the young woman in white in front of him was the other party's senior sister.
Upon hearing Li Musheng's instructions, the old man dared not delay. He immediately went to the iron cage, carefully scrutinized the woman in white with his cloudy eyes for a moment, and then nodded, saying:
"I must say, looking at her up close, this woman really does resemble that Daoist Qingyu quite a bit."
