Chapter 352 Scars
When Li Musheng directly called him out, the fat old man was stunned. The group of martial arts masters who were discussing around him also stopped instantly and looked at him.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, the fat old man coughed hastily, then forced himself to speak to Li Musheng:
"Young hero, you flatter me. I am of mediocre talent. Compared to a genius like you, I am far inferior."
Li Musheng didn't speak, but calmly stared at the fat old man.
Seeing this, the fat old man's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly continued:
"I did think of a way to find the Great Xuan Emperor, but..."
"Even if you say the method doesn't work, I won't blame you."
Li Musheng waved his hand, his eyes narrowing slightly as he looked at the fat old man. He felt that the old man must have something going on inside him.
Upon hearing this, the fat old man hesitated for a moment, then looked around and said:
"Many years ago, the legendary thief Bai Wuying broke into the Great Xuan Imperial Palace and abducted one of the imperial concubines."
"This is the biggest scandal in the entire Great Xuan Imperial Palace in many years. It is said that the Great Xuan Emperor considers this a lifelong disgrace. The Great Xuan Emperor has been strengthening the palace's defenses for many years in order to prevent similar incidents from happening again."
At this point, the fat old man paused, then looked at Li Musheng with a meaningful gaze and said:
"Therefore, I had an idea. If you, young hero, were to kidnap the concubine of the Great Xuan Emperor like that Thief Saint, and repeat the same thing, it would undoubtedly touch the Great Xuan Emperor's sore spot."
"At that time, you won't even need to search for the other party, young hero. The Great Xuan Emperor will most likely show up himself and come to find you in person."
Upon hearing this, the entire ninth underground hall fell silent.
Everyone stared at the fat old man with strange expressions, especially Zhao Muning, whose eyes even showed a hint of murderous intent.
The matter of the Thief Saint is an absolute taboo in the entire Great Xuan Imperial Palace. Even if someone dares to mention it, it is a capital offense.
The old man in front of him actually came up with such a terrible idea to Li Musheng, which was undoubtedly a disgrace to the entire Great Xuan Imperial Palace, an attempt to reopen old wounds of his father, and a severe humiliation.
The other martial arts masters were also taken aback when they heard the fat old man's suggestion.
There's no other reason than that the fat old man's move was not only extremely malicious, but it also pushed these people to the brink of despair.
Previously, they made up their minds to follow Li Musheng and take a gamble in order to escape the control of the Great Xuan Imperial Palace because they understood that even if they ultimately failed, they would not necessarily lose their lives.
But if the fat old man comes up with this method, the Great Xuan Emperor will surely be furious and hate those who follow Li Musheng to the core.
If things fail, the Emperor of Da Xuan will undoubtedly kill them, leaving them with absolutely no way out.
For a moment, everyone looked at the fat old man with a flash of anger.
The fat old man was naturally aware of the gazes of those around him, but there was nothing he could do. Since he had already spoken, he could only give up now.
At this moment, someone had an idea and was about to speak up to refute the fat old man's suggestion.
But Li Musheng suddenly smiled, looked at the fat old man in front of him, and said:
"I knew I hadn't misjudged you; you really are a talent."
Immediately, Li Musheng clapped his hands lightly, glanced at the group of martial arts masters and Zhao Muning, and then asked:
"Does anyone know where those concubines live? Take me to capture one first, so we can force the Great Xuan Emperor to offer himself to us."
As he spoke, Li Musheng suddenly shook his head again and said, "Catching one is probably too few. We should catch more. If we catch a few more of the princesses and princes of the Great Xuan Emperor, then we should be even more secure."
Upon hearing this, the martial arts expert who was about to speak immediately swallowed the words that were already on his throat.
Clearly, Li Musheng was highly skilled and daring. He not only greatly appreciated the fat old man's suggestion, but even wanted to take it a step further.
If he dares to disagree now, he's practically asking for trouble.
Zhao Muning's expression was extremely ugly at this moment. Her eyes were fixed on Li Musheng. After confirming that Li Musheng was not bluffing, but really intended to do so, she...
Her eyes flickered uncertainly, and a hint of anxiety arose in her heart.
It seems that the Great Xuan Imperial Palace is destined to be anything but peaceful tonight, and may even be doomed.
After all, for a powerful master like Li Musheng, whose lightness skill was unparalleled and whose martial arts prowess was unfathomable, capturing a few concubines in the Great Xuan Imperial Palace was not a difficult task.
If the other party uses this to coerce her father into showing himself, given his temperament and obsession with the Thief Saint, he will most likely succeed in letting Li Musheng get away with it.
However, Zhao Muning could not stop Li Musheng from taking action at this time. After all, although the fat old man's method was not honorable, it was undoubtedly the fastest way to force the Great Xuan Emperor to show himself.
Moreover, Li Musheng also strongly agreed with this, and even if she wanted to stop it, the chances were extremely slim and difficult to achieve.
Meanwhile, after being questioned by Li Musheng, the group of martial arts masters looked at each other and hesitated for a moment.
However, they clearly had no other way out now. After a brief moment of hesitation, one of them gritted his teeth and said:
“Young hero, although we are not familiar with the Great Xuan Imperial Palace, finding the concubines’ residences is much easier than finding the Great Xuan Emperor. We can easily find those concubines by simply grabbing a few palace maids and eunuchs in the palace and asking them.”
Upon hearing this, Li Musheng's expression shifted slightly, and he nodded gently.
"That is indeed a relatively quick method."
However, his gaze shifted, and he immediately looked at Zhao Mu Ning:
"Does the young lady know the residences of those emperors' concubines? If you do, we can set off directly there."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Muning bit her lip lightly, but ultimately shook her head.
How could she, a princess of the Great Xuan Dynasty, possibly help Li Musheng capture her father's concubine?
Seeing this, Li Musheng gave Zhao Muning a deep look, then shook his head:
"That would be a bit of a shame."
Then, he gave an order to the other martial arts experts to bring the woman in white and the head manager of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce along.
Then, he casually released the acupoints on the Fire Cloud Evil God, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, and said nothing more. He took the lead and left the ninth underground level of the Xuanji Palace, heading towards the exit of the first level.
The group of martial arts masters naturally dared not disobey Li Musheng's orders and complied with them.
Even the Fire Cloud Evil God, who had unlocked his acupoints and restored his martial arts cultivation, showed no intention of making another move and silently followed.
Meanwhile, after shocking all the Xuanji Palace experts by enduring three moves from a ninth-floor expert without injury, Black Moon Old Man searched the entire floor.
And surprisingly, he actually found a white-haired Taoist nun.
