Great Li Martial God

Next, Cang Yinyue continued back to the room in the courtyard to interrogate the armored soldier.

However, before leaving, she strongly urged Li Musheng to throw the Hidden Kill Order as far away as possible.

Li Musheng remained unmoved.

He leaped back onto the rooftop, looked up at the moonlight in the sky, and shook his head.

Was there truly anyone in this world who could kill him?

"Just three assassination attempts. Hidden Kill Pavilion, I hope you'll keep your word and be of at least some use to me."

...

After the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, Cang Yinyue walked out of the room looking somewhat weary.

"I've more or less gotten it all out of him. He doesn't have a key to the Tianqi Secret Treasury on him."

Cang Yinyue looked at Li Musheng who had descended from the rooftop and said, "However, he did provide some relevant clues about the keys." "What clues?"

Li Musheng wasn't particularly surprised by this result. In fact, he didn't think his luck could be good enough that he would immediately gain something just by happening to encounter a Great Qi remnant.

"These Great Qi remnants ostensibly belong to a force called 'Qingshan Tower.' Over these years, they've actually never given up searching for the Tianqi Secret Treasury."

Cang Yinyue slowly spoke, then shook her head and said, "However, although this person has a certain status within Qingshan Tower, matters concerning the Tianqi Secret Treasury are all high-level secrets. What he knows is limited. He only knows that Shangyang City should have one or two keys, and one of those keys seems to be related to the Second Prince."

"The Second Prince?" Li Musheng raised his eyebrows.

Cang Yinyue nodded lightly, then narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "You should remember on the road here, we encountered those two subordinates from General Wu'an, and General Wu'an is the Second Prince's man."

"Among all the princes, besides the legitimate eldest son, the First Prince, the Second Prince and that fake Seventh Prince are the most likely to compete for the position of crown prince."

Saying this, Cang Yinyue explained to Li Musheng, "The Second Prince's martial Dao talent is not even weaker than that fake Seventh Prince. It's just that he's keen on power schemes and has great ambitions, putting more of his energy into developing his own forces. But even so, he's still a genuine Martial Dao Master level expert."

As if afraid that Li Musheng would persist in searching for the Tianqi Secret Treasury keys and do something unwise, Cang Yinyue thought for a moment, then reminded him with a serious expression, "As far as I know, the Second Prince's manor keeps a group of jianghu talents as advisors, among whom are many martial Dao experts stationed there. It's no different from a dragon's pool and tiger's den."

"More importantly, each of Great Li's princes has palace experts secretly protecting them. I advise you not to act rashly."

Hearing this, Li Musheng stroked his chin thoughtfully and slowly nodded.

Seeing this, Cang Yinyue's heart immediately relaxed slightly, thinking he had listened to what she said.

However, the next moment, she heard Li Musheng continue asking, "Where is the Second Prince's manor?"

Cang Yinyue: "???"

...

Li Musheng looked at the unusual expression revealed in her eyes and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry. That Great Qi remnant's information was ambiguous. Naturally I won't alert the enemy rashly. I'm just asking casually."

Cang Yinyue's dark brows furrowed tightly, seeming not quite to believe his words.

Li Musheng then showed a thoughtful expression and said, "My suggestion is that we should still start with that Qingshan Tower force. It won't be too late to act after capturing an important figure among the Great Qi remnants and obtaining definite information."

"Moreover, didn't you just say that Shangyang City might not only have one key? Perhaps those people also know where another key is?"

Hearing this, Cang Yinyue stared at Li Musheng for a while, then finally sighed lightly.

Although Li Musheng said this, from his words, he clearly hadn't given up on the idea of going to the Second Prince's manor.

However, she really had no way to stop him. After all, she couldn't beat him in a fight, and his true identity was still that of a prince.

So she could only say, "Regarding the situation with Qingshan Tower, I'll inform Six Doors tomorrow and have Six Doors investigate. Once there's progress, I'll definitely notify you promptly."

"And I only have one requirement, that is, before your identity as the Seventh Prince is confirmed, you absolutely must not act rashly. The Second Prince's manor is no benign place. Once something happens, even I can't save you."

Li Musheng shrugged his shoulders, but his gaze turned to look at the room in the courtyard as he asked, "Besides this matter, did that fellow confess anything else?"

Hearing this, Cang Yinyue nodded lightly and said, "This is also what I wanted to tell you next. This person's purpose in infiltrating Aurora Pavilion was indeed to kill the real Seventh Prince and take revenge on the Great Li imperial family, but this wasn't their most important objective."

"Their real plan was to create chaos at Aurora Pavilion to attract the attention of various forces in the imperial capital, while actually intending to secretly infiltrate 'Dragon Abyss Lake' to steal the 'Imperial Dragon Divine Sword.'"

"Imperial Dragon Divine Sword? What's that?" Li Musheng looked puzzled.

Cang Yinyue's eyes flickered slightly as she explained in a low voice, "Great Qi once gathered the world's top weapon refiners and spent countless financial and material resources to forge five divine artifacts to suppress the dynasty's fate."

"When Great Qi fell that year, those five divine artifacts were divided among the five nations. The Imperial Dragon Divine Sword that Great Li obtained was one of them."

Hearing this, Li Musheng immediately felt a trace of curiosity and asked, "What's so special about the Imperial Dragon Divine Sword? Why would those Great Qi remnants take such risks to obtain that thing?"

Cang Yinyue blinked her eyelashes lightly and glanced at him, saying, "Since it's called a divine artifact, naturally it has its miraculous aspects. Besides the legend that it gathers the world's fate and that collecting all five divine artifacts would allow one to dominate the world."

"Each divine artifact is a divine weapon that martial warriors throughout the world dream of possessing, containing unfathomable and powerful might."

Saying this, a gleam appeared in Cang Yinyue's eyes as she said, "There once circulated in the jianghu a ranking list of the world's weapons. A total of twenty-three weapons made the list, and all five of Great Qi's divine artifacts were among them."

"Moreover, I've also heard a rumor..."

Saying this, Cang Yinyue paused. Li Musheng hurriedly asked, "What rumor?"

"It's said that if someone can gain the recognition of any one of these five divine artifacts, as long as they're a martial artist who has reached the Innate Realm, they can cross three realms in a single night and directly step into the Heaven-Human Realm."

Cang Yinyue's gaze was intense, her eyes full of longing. Hearing this, Li Musheng furrowed his brow, "That's what I thought it was?"

However, thinking it over, he couldn't help but nod lightly, "This matter sounds quite mysterious. For people who haven't stepped into the Heaven-Human Realm, it indeed has considerable appeal."

Then he looked at Cang Yinyue and asked, "Is this verified to be true?"

Cang Yinyue shook her head and said, "It's just a rumor. The truth of this matter can probably only be known by people from the imperial family like you."
