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

Chapter 398 Conversation
Upon hearing Zhao Kuang's words, the white-haired, withered old man glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, a chilling killing intent surfacing deep in his eyes.

This son is so afraid of death, and in order to obtain the throne, he is so obsequious that he is almost ready to kneel down and submit to Li Musheng.

How can such a person be worthy of the position of the Great Xuan Emperor?

If the throne is handed over to the other party, then the century-old foundation established by the Great Xuan Ancestor will likely be destroyed in his hands sooner or later.

Moreover, what Zhao Kuang was saying at this moment was also a bargaining chip he had already prepared in his mind to save his life in the face of Li Musheng.

But to his surprise, Zhao Kuang beat him to it and told him the news in advance, which made him want to kill him.

After all, he didn't know Li Musheng's true thoughts.

Although the other party claimed to be there to kill the Great Xuan Emperor, he was still unsure whether they would also take advantage of the situation to eliminate him, the ancestor of the Great Xuan royal family, thus destroying the last vestige of the Great Xuan royal family's strength.

However, the white-haired, withered old man showed no unusual expression, but his eyes shifted rapidly before he spoke to Li Musheng:

"Although there is no precedent for a woman to become emperor in the Great Xuan Dynasty, since Your Highness has chosen her, I will overcome all difficulties and do my utmost to support her in inheriting the throne, without any complaints."

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng nodded slightly, ignoring Zhao Kuang from beginning to end.

After ascending to the throne of the Great Xuan Emperor, Zhao Mu Ning will naturally do the things the other party proposed, and he will only do them better than the other party.

Moreover, Li Musheng didn't really care much about the affairs of the Dali court.

"Since you've put it that way, I have nothing more to say."

Li Musheng looked at the withered old man with white hair and spoke, then casually waved his hand, releasing the restraints on his body.

Feeling that he could move again and that his meridians and dantian had returned to normal, allowing him to fully utilize his powerful martial arts cultivation, a look of joy appeared in the eyes of the white-haired, withered old man.

He looked up at Li Musheng, but Li Musheng's gaze was already fixed on the Emperor of Da Xuan.

At this moment, facing Li Musheng, the Emperor of Da Xuan was already heartbroken and knew that he could not escape death tonight.

"As the emperor of the Great Xuan, I have devoted myself to the Great Xuan, even at the cost of my own life, falling into the demonic path and becoming the leader of the Sun Moon Demonic Sect."

The Great Xuan Emperor gazed at Li Musheng and slowly spoke, his words seemingly addressed to Li Musheng and Zhao Kuang, or perhaps to himself.

"I know I have done many wrong things in my life, but there is nothing I can do. The Great Xuan is weak among the five kingdoms of the world."

"When I ascended the throne, Great Xuan was even in danger of being annexed by neighboring countries. It was I who gradually built Great Xuan into what it is today and stabilized its destiny."

"The hardships involved are beyond the comprehension of outsiders, but I can say with a clear conscience that I may have wronged anyone, but I am absolutely worthy of the Great Xuan, the late emperor, and the ancestors of the Zhao family!"

As he spoke, the Great Xuan Emperor looked at the white-haired, withered old man. Facing this patriarch of the Great Xuan Imperial Palace, he revealed for the first time the majesty of an emperor, and said sternly:
"Ancestor, as the pillar of the Great Xuan royal family, you bear the fate of the entire Zhao clan and the Great Xuan Dynasty on your shoulders."

"I hope you understand that your life does not belong to yourself, but to Da Xuan. If you submit to others today to save your life, you will never be able to hold your head high again. Da Xuan will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later."

After saying these words, the Emperor of Da Xuan withdrew his gaze and then closed his eyes, clearly having already given up resisting and waiting for Li Musheng to take his life.

Seeing this, Li Musheng remained calm and didn't say anything more.

He simply raised his finger and pointed it at the Great Xuan Emperor before him. Upon seeing this, the withered old man with white hair looked extremely grim. The Great Xuan Emperor was indeed right; he had lived his entire life for the Great Xuan royal family, and his very existence was to protect them.

At this moment, the white-haired, withered old man was extremely hesitant. Li Musheng had already released him from his restraints, and he was now fully capable of taking action to try to save the life of the Great Xuan Emperor.

However, he never dared to make a move, watching helplessly as Li Musheng raised his hand and pierced through the Great Xuan Emperor's brow with a single finger.

Then the Great Xuan Emperor's life force rapidly faded, and he eventually died in front of him.

After killing the Great Xuan Emperor, Li Musheng turned to the withered, white-haired old man and said:
"They do have a good sense of self-awareness, managing to refrain from making a move."

Upon hearing this, the white-haired, withered old man glanced at the deceased Emperor of Da Xuan and couldn't help but sigh heavily.

He immediately stood up from the ground, looked at Li Musheng in front of him, and said:

"I have always had a question in my mind. I fell asleep without realizing it and even had a dream. This is something that has never happened to me before."

"Therefore, I would like to know whether all of this was done by Your Highness?"

Li Musheng nodded slightly, not denying the other party's question, and said:
“You old man have lived long enough and are smart enough, but I can’t be completely without means to control you.”

Having said that, Li Musheng's mind stirred, and a talismanic light entered the withered old man's body, saying:

"This thing is called the Life and Death Talisman, and it also has the means of combining with the Soul Searching Technique. Although this method of controlling people has not been fully researched, it is more than enough to use on you."

The white-haired, withered old man's expression changed immediately. He sensed the talismanic light lurking within his body and secretly circulated his power to try and expel it.

However, even with his full effort, he could not shake the talismanic light within his body in the slightest.

Seeing this, the white-haired, withered old man became somewhat anxious and hurriedly said:
"Your Highness, I have never intended to resist. Why would Your Highness resort to such methods..."

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng remained calm and said indifferently:

"You can rest assured that as long as you don't do anything that is outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant, nothing will happen."

After saying that, Li Musheng ignored the other party. After all, if the other party had really dared to attack him just now, he would already be a corpse.

It's already quite good that all that's been done so far—it's just planting a life-or-death talisman.

The reason he spared the life of this ancestor of the Great Xuan Imperial Palace was that if the other party died, the Great Xuan Dynasty would probably be in real chaos, and the Great Xuan world would inevitably suffer another devastation.

This was not the outcome Li Musheng wanted to see.

Furthermore, Zhao Mu Ning has no foundation in Tai Xuan City, so it is virtually impossible for him to ascend to the throne. He can only do so with the support of the ancestor of the Great Xuan Imperial Palace.

Moreover, in this way, although Li Musheng did not want to get involved in the affairs of the Great Xuan Dynasty, he could still use this opportunity to influence the Great Xuan Dynasty's intentions.

Tonight's trip wasn't entirely without any benefits.
