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

Chapter 400 Getting Beaten
Li Musheng's terrifying strength was already beyond his imagination, and now obtaining the treasure in the deep pool of Qingxuan Temple is like adding wings to a tiger.

Even he, hidden in the shadows, fell silently into the illusion, completely unaware and powerless to resist.

In the future, even if the God of War were to take action, he would probably be powerless against this great demon.

He had been hesitant before about whether to question Li Musheng about Bai Xiaotang, but now he left without hesitation.

"You brat, I wasn't looking carefully for a second, and you've caused such a big mess. You'll have to be hung up and beaten when we get back!"

Bai Wuying cursed under his breath and immediately rushed back to the branch of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce.

They said they wanted to hang Bai Xiaotang up and beat her, but in reality, they wanted to interrogate her about the details of her relationship with Li Musheng.

Only in this way could he learn the whole story and deal with the methods that the great demon Li Musheng might have left on Bai Xiaotang.

However, when Bai Wuying rushed back to the Chamber of Commerce, he received news that the head manager of Jubao Chamber of Commerce had suddenly died.

At this moment, Bai Wuying understood that the Great Xuan Emperor was truly dead. With the emperor dead, the head manager of the Jubao Merchant Guild, whose body had been implanted with the roundworm demon, would also find it difficult to survive.

However, all of this was completely unexpected by Bai Wuying, and he didn't have time to help the other party get rid of the demonic insects inside his body.

"Well, you can't blame me for this. It's just karma, and what goes around comes around."

Bai Wuying simply shook his head. As the saying goes, "No merchant is without cunning."

The head manager of Jubao Chamber of Commerce was able to make the chamber the number one in Daxuan, but he did a lot of dirty tricks behind the scenes. Back then, in order to dominate Daxuan's business territory, he even hired people to wipe out the entire family of his rivals.

This is also why he parted ways with the other party and has never liked them.

Now that the other party has gone with the Great Xuan Emperor, it can only be said that this calamity was destined to be theirs.

With this in mind, Bai Wuying ignored the news of the death of the head manager of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce and went straight to Bai Xiaotang.

When Bai Xiaotang saw that Bai Wuying had returned unscathed, without a single scratch on his face and not at all like he was injured, a look of regret immediately appeared on her face.

She just had a dream in which Bai Wuying, an old beggar, went to Li Musheng, only to be hung up and beaten by him, and then displayed on the city wall of Taixuan City. Meanwhile, she stood by, clapping and laughing heartily.

Unfortunately, dreams are always fleeting, and she soon woke up from her dream.

Bai Xiaotang was clearly still somewhat unsatisfied at that moment, and at the same time, she was looking forward to the scene of Bai Wuying slinking back in disgrace.

After all, she had been tormented terribly by the other party these past few days.

However, she obviously did not see what she had anticipated.

"You brat, what's with that look on your face? Are you disappointed to see me come back alive?"

Bai Wuying naturally noticed Bai Xiaotang's unusual expression and immediately became furious.

He directly channeled his martial arts true energy into a long whip, whipping his opponent until they screamed in pain.

It seemed as if she wanted to vent all the resentment she felt from being completely suppressed by Li Musheng and running away in fear on Bai Xiaotang.

After all, Bai Wuying, a former martial arts prodigy and a legendary thief who roamed the martial world, had never experienced the vicissitudes of this world in a young man.
"You old beggar, are you crazy? You beat me up as soon as you get back!"

While Bai Xiaotang was crying out in pain, she was also cursing at Bai Wuying.

Seeing that Bai Wuying was completely unharmed, she was already in a bad mood, and moreover, she hadn't said a word, yet this old beggar had hit her as soon as he walked in. Naturally, she felt extremely wronged.

Bai Wuying ignored the other party and just kept beating them.

"How could such a young girl get into such big trouble?"

While Bai Wuying was beating Bai Xiaotang with her true energy whip, she was also interrogating her about what had happened between her and Li Musheng.

He even threatened that he would not stop until the other party confessed honestly.

Seeing Bai Wuying's unusual ruthlessness, Bai Xiaotang was also a little scared, wondering what had gotten into the old beggar.

Suspecting that the other party already knew, she exchanged the other party's signature skill with Li Musheng for her preferred finger technique.

Thinking of this, Bai Xiaotang immediately backed down and told him the whole story of how she met Li Musheng.

After learning that Bai Xiaotang had passed on her prized lightness skill to the great demon Li Musheng, the situation became even more complicated.

Bai Wuying was so angry she was practically fuming, and immediately beat him even harder.

"Are you kidding me? I've been so obedient, and you're still trying to kill me, you old beggar!"

Bai Xiaotang was on the verge of tears. She was beaten whether she resisted or surrendered. This old beggar clearly didn't intend to let her live.

After a while, Bai Wuying stopped beating him, seemingly because he was tired of it, or perhaps because he had vented his anger.

Of course, while he was beating up Bai Xiaotang, he was actually secretly working on her physical and mental development, helping her build a solid foundation in martial arts.

However, the pain was real, and he showed absolutely no mercy in that regard.
"That eighth prince you mentioned has now become a great demon. Remember to stay as far away from him as possible from now on!"

Bai Wuying spoke sternly, and then recounted to Bai Xiaotang how Li Musheng had mastered his demonic arts that night and absorbed demonic energy.

The scene of Li Musheng draining the demonic cultivator dry was particularly emphasized, deliberately intended to scare Bai Xiaotang and prevent her from having any further involvement with Li Musheng.

Bai Xiaotang's expression shifted uncertainly, her face turning pale, but she quickly recovered and said:
"No, old beggar, the Eighth Prince only killed people from the demonic path. What does that have to do with you?"

"I think you're asking for a beating again!"

Bai Wuying made a move to gather true energy into his whip, which startled Bai Xiaotang. However, Bai Wuying quickly shook his head and softened his tone, saying:
"Although he can control his demonic nature now, having absorbed the cultivation of so many demonic masters and the demonic arts left behind by the founder of the demonic path, he will inevitably be completely corrupted by demonic nature in the future."

"I'm telling you to stay away from him for your own good. The devil has no humanity, and he's no longer the person you used to know."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaotang carefully examined Bai Wuying for a while and saw that his expression was unusually solemn, and his eyes flickered uncertainly.

She paused slightly, then tentatively asked:

"Old beggar, are you no longer able to beat him?"

"you……"

Bai Wuying's eyes widened in anger, and the long whip of true energy in his hand instantly condensed into form. The next moment, Bai Xiaotang's miserable screams echoed in the room once again.

The screams didn't stop until much later. Soon after, Bai Wuying grabbed Bai Xiaotang and left, disappearing into the night of Tai Xuan City.
