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

Chapter 406 Sizhu
After being thrown out of the Great Xuan Imperial Palace, the head of the Great Li Secret Intelligence Bureau fell from the sky and crashed to the ground.

However, although his martial arts cultivation was destroyed, his foundation was still intact, so he was not seriously injured.

Although he escaped the palace, he still couldn't believe that the patriarch of the Great Xuan Imperial Palace would let him leave so easily.

With his doubts in mind, the head of the Dali Secret Intelligence Bureau did not linger, nor did he go to the inn where Li Musheng was.

He was unaware of the thoughts of the Great Xuan Imperial Palace's patriarch, and since he currently had no cultivation, going to the inn could potentially endanger the Hidden Spy Bureau's stronghold.

The head of the Hidden Intelligence Bureau found an inn in Tai Xuan City to stay at, intending to find out what had happened in the Great Xuan Imperial Palace and Tai Xuan City during his imprisonment before making any further plans.

After all, the patriarch of the Great Xuan Imperial Palace would never let him leave without a reason; there must be something important that he doesn't know about.

The following day, after making some inquiries, the head of the Dali Secret Intelligence Bureau was somewhat stunned upon learning about the recent events in Taixuan City.

He truly did not expect that in the short span of about half a month that he had been imprisoned, such a dramatic change would occur in Tai Xuan City.

Not only did the Great Xuan Emperor die, but almost all of his descendants also perished, and in the end, a princess ascended the throne of Great Xuan, a fact that shocked the entire world.

However, the head of the Dali Secret Intelligence Bureau still couldn't understand why the ancestor of the Daxuan Imperial Palace would let him go.

Although he vaguely suspected that it might be related to the recent upheaval in the Great Xuan Imperial Palace, he currently knew too little information to see the whole truth.

In the end, after some disguise and confirming that he was not being followed, he risked returning to the inn.

The group of secret agents from the Hidden Intelligence Bureau, who were still debating when to ask Li Musheng to save people again, were overjoyed to see their leader, whom they hadn't seen for many days, return on his own.

"This is not the place to talk. Let's go to the secret room first."

In the back room of the inn, the head of the Hidden Intelligence Bureau spoke solemnly to the innkeeper before turning to head towards the inn's underground passage.

However, upon seeing this, the innkeeper grabbed the other person and said:

"My lord, there's no need to be so cautious. Is there any problem speaking here? There's absolutely no need to worry about being discovered by the Great Xuan Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, the head of the Hidden Intelligence Division showed a strange expression, clearly not understanding why his subordinate had become so bold. This was obviously different from the Hidden Intelligence Division's past style of operation.

The innkeeper, noticing the other's confusion, offered an explanation:

"My lord, you may not know this, but as long as the Eighth Prince is staying at the inn, this is the safest place in the entire Great Xuan."

As he spoke, he immediately shook his head and said:

"However, once the Eighth Prince leaves, we'll probably have to abandon this outpost of our Secret Service, since it's just too conspicuous."

"Eighth Prince?"

The head of the Hidden Intelligence Bureau frowned, then fixed his imposing gaze on the innkeeper before him and asked in a deep voice:

"What exactly happened while I was away? Tell me everything, word for word."

Upon hearing this, the innkeeper glanced at the head of the Hidden Intelligence Bureau, but did not inquire about the situation during the days the man had been missing.

From the moment he first saw the other person, he noticed that the other person had no martial arts cultivation whatsoever, and there were even faint traces of injuries remaining.

The innkeeper naturally guessed that the head of the Hidden Intelligence Bureau was probably not in a good position lately, so he didn't ask why. After a moment's thought, he recounted in detail the recent events related to Li Musheng.

After listening to the innkeeper's words, the head of the Hidden Intelligence Bureau's expression shifted.

His primary concern was naturally rescuing his senior sister, but to his surprise, Li Musheng had already rescued Qingyu Daoist.

Even more remarkably, he single-handedly enabled the seventh princess of the Great Xuan to ascend the throne of the Great Xuan.

The head of the Hidden Intelligence Bureau naturally understood why the ancestor of the Great Xuan Imperial Palace had let him leave.

Princess Zhao Muning of Da Xuan was able to ascend the throne, which was obviously due to the support of the ancestor of the Da Xuan Imperial Palace, and the person behind all of this was Li Musheng.

Although he does not know the specific details of what happened, he can still guess what Li Musheng did in the Great Xuan Imperial Palace.
"I never expected his martial arts strength to be so terrifying, that even the ancestor of the Great Xuan Imperial Palace has to obey him."

The head of the Hidden Intelligence Bureau muttered to himself. The innkeeper, hearing this, glanced around and immediately transmitted his thoughts to the other party using his martial arts internal energy with a solemn expression:
"My lord, you may not know this, but recently a message has been circulating in Tai Xuan City from the seven major sects that His Highness the Eighth Prince has secretly fallen into the demonic path."

"On the very night that the three major demonic sects activated their demonic energy, His Highness the Eighth Prince used the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, a legacy from the Demonic Ancestor, to not only absorb all the demonic cultivation within the demonic energy, but also drain the leaders of the three major demonic sects and a host of demonic experts, turning them into dried-up corpses."

"It is said that His Highness the Eighth Prince's current cultivation in the demonic path is almost unparalleled in the world, surpassing even the founder of the demonic path in his time!"

The head of the Hidden Intelligence Bureau's expression clearly changed, and he asked:

Is this news true?

Upon hearing this, the innkeeper hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"Your Excellency, this news is said to have come from an elder of one of the seven major sects, but it has not yet been confirmed."

"However, based on my observations of the Eighth Prince over this period of time, I have found that His Highness is as usual and there seems to be no sign of him becoming possessed by a demon."

The head of the Hidden Intelligence Bureau remained silent, pondering for a moment before gradually composed himself and issuing the order:
"The matter of the Eighth Prince's possession of demonic possession must be treated with utmost care. We must do everything in our power to investigate it and inform me of the results as soon as possible."

As he spoke, the head of the Hidden Intelligence Bureau glanced into the inn and looked toward the room where Daoist Qingyu was.

After learning that his senior sister had been rescued, he finally felt relieved, but he did not plan to see her immediately.

Instead, after thinking it over, she decided to go and see Li Musheng.

Although the head of the Secret Intelligence Bureau was unsure whether it was Li Musheng who asked the patriarch of the Great Xuan Imperial Palace to let him go.

However, his ability to emerge alive from the Great Xuan Imperial Palace was undoubtedly due to Li Musheng.

Moreover, the fact that the other party rescued his senior sister was extremely important to him.

"My lord, are your injuries serious?"

At this moment, the innkeeper asked with concern, and the head of the Hidden Intelligence Bureau withdrew his gaze and waved his hand:

"It's alright. I'll recover in about a month once I return to Shangyang City."

Although the patriarch of the Great Xuan Imperial Palace destroyed his cultivation, he did not damage his foundation. With the help of the top-grade martial arts pills of the Great Li Imperial Palace, he was still able to restore his martial arts cultivation.
