Chapter 349 There is a problem

Upon hearing the old man's words, Li Musheng immediately flicked his finger, and the iron shackles of the middle cell where the woman in white was imprisoned instantly collapsed, turning into iron filings that fell down in a flurry.

However, the woman in white, now free, remained motionless amidst the ruined iron cage, staring blankly at Li Musheng and the others.

Seeing this, Li Musheng frowned slightly. Clearly, the woman in front of him, who was probably the senior sister of the Taoist priest Qingye, had lost consciousness due to poisoning.

Immediately, Li Musheng raised his hand and grabbed the white-clad woman in the prison cell, bringing her to his front.

Then, Li Musheng reached out to check the other party's condition.

However, they discovered that the other party's meridians were damaged and his martial arts cultivation was completely gone; he was a patient who was even weaker than an ordinary person.

As for the so-called rare poison mentioned by the head manager of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce, Li Musheng did not find it in the white-clad woman's body.

Meanwhile, the woman in white remained expressionless and blank-eyed in the face of Li Musheng's sudden attack, as if she were a puppet being manipulated.

"You... found the person you were looking for?"

At this moment, Zhao Muning came to Li Musheng's side and carefully examined the woman in white in front of her.

From Li Musheng's previous words, she knew that the person Li Musheng wanted to save was Qingyu Daoist of Qingyun Temple.

She had naturally heard of Master Qingyu's great reputation. He was a senior master who had been famous in the martial arts world for a long time, and in theory, he had nothing to do with the young woman in white in front of her.

However, the martial arts world is full of extraordinary people and events, as well as legends of martial arts that can reverse aging. In addition, Li Musheng seems to believe that the person in front of him is the one he is looking for.

Therefore, although she was surprised by the white-clad woman's identity, she could not completely reject it.

At this moment, Li Musheng, upon hearing Zhao Muning's question, stroked his chin and said:

"She seems like the person I'm looking for, but I'm not entirely sure, and there's something wrong with how she is right now."

As he spoke, Li Musheng raised his hand and grabbed again. In an instant, the other four iron cages on the ninth underground floor collapsed. Then, all four people imprisoned, including the head manager of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce, were brought to Li Musheng's side.

Immediately, Li Musheng took action and investigated all four people imprisoned there, including the woman in white.

At this moment, Li Musheng discovered that, apart from the woman in white, the other four people had residual toxins in their meridians and dantian, like a bone-deep infection.

The poison had penetrated almost to the bone marrow and flesh. Unless an antidote was obtained, even a martial arts master of the same level as the Killing Saint would find it difficult to remove.

This also shows that the poison used by the Great Xuan Imperial Palace on these people was indeed extremely unusual.

But one question remains: why wasn't the woman in white poisoned?
The head manager of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce had previously stated that all of them had been poisoned by eunuchs from the Da Xuan Imperial Palace.

Logically speaking, the woman in white should not have escaped unscathed, and her current appearance seems to be caused by poisoning.

They looked exactly the same as the other three, except for the head manager of Jubao Chamber of Commerce, who were in a daze as if they had lost their own consciousness.

Thinking of this, Li Musheng looked at the head manager of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce again and asked:
"Are you sure she's been poisoned in the same way as you?"

Upon hearing this, the head manager of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce did not hesitate and nodded with difficulty:

"I'm pretty sure...we were all...injected with the same poison..."

Li Musheng narrowed his eyes slightly, then glanced at the other three, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Clearly, the five people imprisoned in the iron cell are all extremely important figures. The white-clad woman who is suspected to be Daoist Qingyu and the head manager of Jubao Chamber of Commerce undoubtedly confirm this.

However, the identities of the other three were unknown, and even the group of martial arts experts, including Zhao Muning, did not recognize them. At this moment, Zhao Muning looked at Li Musheng, seemingly noticing his unusual expression, and asked:

"Any questions?"

As she spoke, Zhao Muning offered her advice:

"If you have already found the person you need to save, I advise you to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the experts of the Great Xuan Imperial Palace react, it might be... very troublesome."

Zhao Mu Ning originally wanted to say something more serious, but when she thought of the other party's terrifying martial arts strength and unparalleled movement skills, she hesitated.

To be honest, if the other party wanted to leave, how could the Great Xuan Imperial Palace possibly stop them? Therefore, in the end, they had to forcefully change their mind.

Li Musheng, however, did not seem to care about Zhao Muning's reminder.

He came to the Great Xuan Imperial Palace tonight to rescue people. If he were to rescue someone of uncertain identity and take them back, it would be somewhat irresponsible.

Furthermore, if he rescues the wrong person, not only will he have made a wasted trip tonight, but he will also alert the Great Xuan Imperial Palace, making them more prepared and making it even more troublesome to rescue someone next time.

"This matter seems a bit complicated; we need to confirm it again."

Li Musheng glanced at Zhao Muning and told her not to worry, he would definitely bring her out of the Great Xuan Palace safe and sound.

The next moment, Li Musheng raised his hand and grabbed the Fire Cloud Evil God, who had been swept into a dark corner and disappeared from sight, and instantly pulled him to his side.

Li Musheng released the pressure points in the other person's throat, but still kept the other person's hair disheveled to conceal their appearance.

"Who are you?"

The Fire Cloud Evil God, whose acupoints had been unlocked, asked incredulously about Li Musheng's identity as his first words.

He himself knew his martial arts prowess best; back then, even the combined might of the three major sects couldn't defeat him.

Over the years, he has devoted himself to cultivation day and night in the Xuanji Palace, and his martial arts skills have made further progress.

Even so, he was suppressed and had his acupoints sealed by Li Musheng without any warning, and he had no power to resist from beginning to end.

He understood this better than anyone else present.

This young man, whom he had initially disregarded, was actually more skilled in martial arts than a Martial Saint.

What the public didn't know was that he had once fought against the "Heavenly Foot Martial Saint" of the Great Xuan Jianghu, although he was no match for him at all.

However, even the Heavenly Foot Martial Saint couldn't suppress him with a single move, and it should be noted that his martial arts strength was weaker than his current strength at that time.

This also means that Li Musheng's martial arts skills are definitely even more unfathomable.

More importantly, the fact that Li Musheng, with such strength, was so young undoubtedly made him even more suspicious of the other party's identity.

At this moment, Li Musheng did not reply, but instead pointed at the woman in white and asked:

"Is she Master Qingyu of Qingyun Temple?"

The Fiery Cloud Evil God glanced at the woman in white, but also remained silent, his eyes fixed on Li Musheng as he spoke:
"Tell me your identity first, and then I will answer the questions you want to know."
