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

Upon hearing Li Musheng's instructions, Lianxing's expression changed slightly.

Previously, the Hidden Kill Pavilion always acted subserviently to the White Tiger Temple, but now the situation has reversed. The new leader of the Hidden Kill Pavilion treats the White Tiger Temple as an appendage of the Hidden Kill Pavilion.

She wouldn't even show her face herself, nor did she care about the face of the White Tiger Temple Master; she would simply order her to go to the White Tiger Temple to deliver the message.

However, since her last visit to the White Tiger Temple, Lianxing has been able to sense the White Tiger Temple's attitude towards the new leader of the Hidden Killing Pavilion.

Therefore, she didn't say anything more, simply agreed, and took her leave.

A while after Lianxing left, a huge white shadow descended from the sky and landed in Li Musheng's courtyard, revealing the figure of a large white cat.

However, at this moment, the big white cat's face looked rather ugly, as if it was not very happy.

Previously, when it was at the Jiang residence, it followed Li Musheng to the entrance of the secret place. Li Musheng fought with the Mirage Tower Master, while it secretly followed the fleeing Yi Yangzi, hoping to take the opportunity to steal the other party's Purple Jade Gourd.

However, Yi Yangzi possessed profound martial arts skills and a troublesome technique like the Universe in a Pot.

Although the white cat's strength increased dramatically after obtaining the White Tiger's inheritance, it still suffered a considerable loss when facing Yi Yangzi and was taken into the Purple Jade Gourd.

Of course, although Yi Yangzi was furious that the big white cat wanted to steal his things, he was wary of Li Musheng and ultimately did not kill it, and released the big white cat back.

At this moment, the big white cat approached Li Musheng's room with its ears drooping. However, it seemed to know that Li Musheng was currently troubled by the disappearance of the owner of Qingshan Tower, so it did not dare to bother him and could only find a place to lie down and sulk.

Li Musheng glanced at the big white cat, too lazy to pay it any attention. He took advantage of the free time to sort out the gains from the trip to Baidi City, and then began to study the item Meng Qianqiu.

Previously, his biggest mistake in the Tomb of the White Emperor was undoubtedly misjudging Meng Qianqiu's dream, which allowed the four people, including the Master of Qingshan Tower, to escape and disappear.

To avoid a repeat of this, he naturally had to put more effort into this rare treasure, since it could indeed be used in unexpected ways sometimes.

Meanwhile, a rumor began to circulate in Baidi City that the two martial arts geniuses of the Jiang family had fallen into the hands of Li Musheng, the new head of the Hidden Killing Pavilion.

The news spread rapidly throughout Baidi City as soon as it was released.

It's worth noting that for some time now, the genius boy Jiang Wang and his apprentice-acceptance ceremony have been the hottest topics in the entire White Emperor City.

Although the Jiang family's apprenticeship ceremony encountered some unexpected changes, the question of who the genius boy and the genius girl would end up with undoubtedly became the most talked-about topics among the city's residents and martial arts practitioners.

……

Meanwhile, after rescuing the four members of the Green Mountain Tower from the Tomb of the White Emperor, the group from the two ancient families of Qishan overseas split into two groups.

Some people stayed outside Baidi City, while others disguised themselves and hid inside Baidi City, keeping a close eye on Li Musheng's movements.

“That prince of Dali really didn’t miss anything along the way; he took almost all the benefits.”

In an inconspicuous inn room in Baidi City, a man dressed as a merchant spoke, his brows furrowed as he spoke about the rumors circulating in the city.

Upon hearing this, both of his companions slowly shook their heads. One of the older men stroked his beard and said:

"It's alright, these things don't concern us much. Our most important goal is to reclaim Meng Qianqiu; we don't need to pay too much attention to other matters." The man dressed as a merchant glanced at the two beside him and said in a low voice:
"It's not that I care about these things, but that the prince of Dali has received so many benefits along the way, and his strength has probably increased a lot. He will become more and more difficult to deal with in the future."

Upon hearing this, both the old man and the other middle-aged man in brocade robes frowned slightly, naturally agreeing with the man's words.

However, the middle-aged man in brocade robes quickly said in a deep voice:
"Haste makes waste. We've been planning our dream for a long time, and now we just need the right opportunity. We must not be impatient or impulsive, lest we run into problems."

However, just as the middle-aged man in brocade finished speaking, the entire room suddenly fell silent.

The man and the old man sitting opposite each other exchanged a glance, and then the old man gestured for silence.

The next moment, he moved to the closed window, carefully pushed it open a crack, and looked out of the inn through the gap.

After a long while, he closed the window again, returned to his seat at the table, and then said with a furrowed brow:

“The entire city of Baidi is being searched very thoroughly. There are assassins from the Hidden Kill Pavilion and people from the White Tiger Temple everywhere. I can even sense that some eyes are starting to watch our alleyway.”

The old man's eyes were tightly closed, as if he were trying his best to sense something, and he whispered:
"The Hidden Kill Pavilion and the White Tiger Temple wield immense power in the city, and coupled with their incredibly rigorous search efforts, we really shouldn't linger here any longer."

Clearly, the old man also had a vague sense of unease, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.

Although their disguises were not problematic, it couldn't overcome the Hidden Killing Pavilion and the White Tiger Temple's strong control over the entire White Emperor City, and their terrifying determination to find the Green Mountain Pavilion Master and others.

Unless they hide away and do nothing, and don't go out to gather information, they will inevitably slip up eventually.

"Don't act rashly yet; it's not the time to leave."

The middle-aged man in brocade spoke up, saying that based on the information they had obtained before, Li Musheng's most important purpose in coming to the Western Desert was to visit Baidi City.

Now that the other party has taken over as the leader of the Hidden Killing Pavilion and has entered the Tomb of the White Emperor, it is likely that his goal has been almost achieved.

Next, the other side probably won't stay in Baidi City for long. As long as they can hold out until Li Musheng leaves Baidi City, the current situation will naturally be resolved.

Upon hearing the words of the middle-aged man in brocade, the merchant-dressed man and the old man pondered for a moment, then both nodded in agreement.

After all, if they choose to leave the city at this time, they will inevitably be directly exposed to the sight of the White Tiger Temple and the Hidden Kill Pavilion, which is quite risky.

"From now on, we'll try to minimize going out..."

The old man spoke softly, but before he could finish, a series of hurried footsteps came from the stairs of the inn.

"Esteemed guests, please come out and answer our questions!"

The innkeeper's loud and urgent voice rang out in the corridor, and then people knocked on the doors of the guest rooms one by one.

Seeing this, the old man stopped speaking and immediately lowered his voice to the other two:
"Be careful, there might be something wrong. Someone came to check this inn this morning." (End of Chapter)
