Great Li Martial God

At this time, the great hall was in ruins. The previous luxury had turned into a pile of wreckage.

Yu Jin, the four grand eunuchs, and Gong Lishan were all seriously injured. The other guards and eunuchs also had considerable injuries. The remaining people were all in chaos.

The gray-robed elder scanned the surroundings but ultimately didn't chase after that armored soldier. He wasn't certain whether the other party had accomplices.

Given Aurora Pavilion's current situation, if he left and the other party took the opportunity to strike again, almost no one here could withstand it.

However, what everyone didn't notice was that at the same time the armored soldier left, Li Musheng had also quietly disappeared from the hall.

...

After fleeing Aurora Pavilion, the young armored soldier swiftly moved through one secluded alley after another.

He condensed true qi at his wound to stop the bleeding from his severed arm while constantly remaining vigilant and monitoring the situation behind him.

Seeing that the gray-robed elder hadn't followed, the young armored soldier clearly breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly vaulted into a courtyard and began removing his clothes, preparing to disguise himself by changing into clothes hanging to dry in the yard. However, the noise in the courtyard attracted the homeowner's attention. A woman hurriedly rushed out from the room to check the situation.

Upon suddenly seeing the one-armed soldier stealing clothes, she was immediately shocked.

The young armored soldier's gaze turned vicious. He immediately prepared to kill the woman with one punch to silence her.

However, just as he raised his hand, a young figure suddenly appeared before him.

"It's you!"

The young armored soldier's pupils immediately contracted, clearly recognizing the visitor.

"You're fleeing for your life, yet why distract yourself changing clothes?"

Li Musheng shook his head, seeming somewhat dissatisfied with the young armored soldier's actions.

The young armored soldier abruptly retreated a step, vigilantly observing Li Musheng before him, "Who exactly are you? When did you follow me?"

Hearing this, Li Musheng's gaze shifted. He stroked his chin and asked, "What if I said we're actually on the same side, and I followed you to save you? Would you believe it or not?"

Hearing this, the armored soldier narrowed his eyes. The next moment, he suddenly struck out directly with a punch, sneering coldly, "Like hell I'd believe you!"

"Sigh!"

A rather regretful sigh sounded beside the young armored soldier's ear.

Then he saw the woman who had been stunned in the courtyard vanish from his sight in the blink of an eye. The surrounding scenery rapidly retreated.

After reacting, he suddenly understood that Li Musheng was dragging him by the collar, running at unimaginable speed.

The young armored soldier was immediately shocked. He tried to resist, but only then belatedly discovered that he couldn't move at all.

Before long, Li Musheng, carrying the young armored soldier, landed in a deserted alley.

"Who exactly are you?"

The young armored soldier opened his mouth with a shocked and suspicious expression. He discovered he could actually speak now.

Li Musheng casually tossed him to the ground. After thinking about it, he asked directly, "Do you have a key to open the Tianqi Secret Treasury?"

The reason he followed this fellow was naturally because he valued his identity as a Great Qi remnant.

After all, when it came to those most familiar with and knowledgeable about the Tianqi Secret Treasury, it would definitely be the Great Qi Dynasty's own people.

This type of Great Qi remnant obsessed with restoration might very well have several keys to open the secret treasury hidden away.

"So you're after that thing."

The young armored soldier stared at Li Musheng for a while, then became emboldened, "First unseal my acupoints, then I'll decide whether to tell you."

Hearing this, Li Musheng frowned and nodded, "So you don't have it, then. I might as well throw you back to Aurora Pavilion."

Saying this, he reached out to grab the other's collar.

Seeing this, the young armored soldier hurriedly said, "Wait! If you hand me over, you can forget about getting the Tianqi Secret Treasury key."

Li Musheng shook his head, "My time is limited. I'm only giving you one chance. If you want to speak, speak. If not, forget it."

Hearing this, the young armored soldier fell silent.

However, the next moment, Li Musheng directly picked him up and rushed toward Aurora Pavilion's direction, sneering coldly, "Time's up. You've missed one chance to live."

The young armored soldier was clearly stunned, but he didn't speak, thinking Li Musheng was just trying to scare him.

But when he saw the distance to Aurora Pavilion getting closer and closer, he finally started to panic and spoke, "I don't have the key!"

Seeing Li Musheng unmoved, and at this time they were only one street away from Aurora Pavilion, he clearly became more anxious.

However, soon the young armored soldier suddenly fell silent again.

He realized that in the current situation, the more he said, the less value he had, and the closer he was to death.

"Quite stubborn."

Li Musheng's figure moved, carrying the young armored soldier to the rooftop of Aurora Pavilion's five-story building.

At this time, he could see that more Tianjin Guards reinforcements were already arriving in the distance. Soon they would probably guard the entire Aurora Pavilion as tightly as an iron barrel.

But for Li Musheng, even the strictest guards couldn't prevent him from coming and going freely, as if entering an unguarded realm.

"As expected, interrogating people really isn't my forte."

Li Musheng shook his head, carrying the young armored soldier into his room number seventeen and casually tossing him under the bed.

The next moment, under the young armored soldier's shocked gaze, his entire person disappeared from the room. Only the door slowly closed automatically.

What kind of terrifying speed was this?

The young armored soldier wanted to open his mouth but discovered he couldn't speak again.

...

The great hall of Aurora Pavilion was still in chaos. Some young people and some eunuch guards were providing simple aid to the injured.

Yu Jin, Gong Lishan, and the other experts were all concentrating on circulating their techniques to heal their injuries and recuperate.

Li Yuanling searched everywhere for Li Musheng's traces but found nothing.

Initially, she thought Li Musheng had panicked and scattered, hiding in other places in Aurora Pavilion. However, after never finding him, she was now becoming somewhat anxious.

However, just as she turned around, Li Musheng suddenly appeared before her without a sound.

"Brother Li, are you alright? Where did you go just now?"

Li Yuanling hurriedly examined his condition. After discovering he was fine, she clearly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It was too chaotic just now. I randomly walked around to clear my mind."

Li Musheng waved his hand, somewhat absent-minded.

That armored soldier very likely had clues about the Tianqi Secret Treasury key. He couldn't possibly hand him over to the Tianjin Guards.

Therefore, he could only find Cang Yinyue for this matter. After all, that young lady came from the Hidden Intelligence Bureau—she should be able to pry open even the hardest mouths.

"However, I can't always rely on her. When I have time, I'll research a martial art similar to a 'Life and Death Talisman,' and everything will be easily resolved."

Li Musheng thought to himself. His gaze swept over the hall once, then looked at Li Yuanling before him, "Miss Li, with so many people here, we should find a quieter place to talk."
