Great Li Martial God

Today at Six Doors, Cang Yinyue had publicly denied her engagement to Fu Yu in front of all the constables.

Besides drawing a clear line and venting her anger, her most important purpose was for this very moment.

The First Madam of Cangyuan Marquis Manor had actually long ago strictly forbidden her from stepping foot in the marquis manor.

Moreover, the manor had many experts. Even if Cang Yinyue wanted to secretly infiltrate and steal the Bone-Corroding Dark Wind Finger manual, it would be fundamentally difficult to accomplish.

Therefore, she had thought of this method.

Based on her understanding of her cowardly father, only by doing this would he become angry and actively have her captured into the marquis manor.

However, for Cang Yinyue, this was exactly the opportunity she needed.

...

On the bustling long street, vendors continuously called out their wares, and pedestrians came and went in an endless stream.

A team of strictly armored soldiers escorted a carriage forward at a quick pace. In that luxurious carriage, Li Musheng and Chief Eunuch Sun Changyu sat facing each other. Li Musheng casually leaned against the soft pillow behind him, appearing to be spacing out. In reality, however, he was continuing to deduce and create the Life and Death Talisman martial art in his mind.

Across from him, Chief Eunuch Sun Changyu sat upright with proper posture, his narrow eyes slightly narrowed as he occasionally studied the young man before him.

If judging from appearance, the probability that the other was Consort Jing's son was extremely high. He was very likely that Seventh Prince who had wandered among the common people.

"Young Master Li, it's about an hour's journey to the Tianjin Guards headquarters. Why don't we chat?"

Chief Eunuch Sun Changyu suddenly spoke. He picked up the teapot that had been boiled on the nearby tea table and poured a cup of tea, passing it to Li Musheng.

Li Musheng slightly raised his eyes and glanced at him, then took the teacup and took a light sip.

Immediately, his eyes brightened. Mm, this tea was quite fragrant. It must be worth quite a bit.

"What do you want to talk about? Better pick something I'm interested in. Otherwise, I don't have time to chat idly with a eunuch."

For the sake of the decent tea, Li Musheng said lazily.

Chief Eunuch Sun Changyu's eyelid twitched. He pondered briefly for a moment, then slowly said, "This servant has seen Young Master Li's dossier and knows that for the past ten-plus years, Young Master Li has always stayed in a martial arts school in a small city in Wan Province."

"However, Young Master Li seems to have somehow learned an extremely profound acupoint sealing technique that even this servant is helpless against. This truly astonishes and intrigues this servant."

Hearing this, Li Musheng raised an eyebrow and said, "So you're curious. Do you perhaps want to learn this martial art of mine?"

Chief Eunuch Sun Changyu's expression froze, then he coughed awkwardly and said, "Young Master Li misunderstands. The Great Li palace's martial repository has countless top-tier martial arts manuals. This servant naturally wouldn't covet the martial arts in Young Master's hands."

"It's just... such a formidable acupoint sealing martial art surely wouldn't be unknown in the jianghu. This servant is somewhat curious. May I ask where Young Master learned from? And what realm has your martial Dao cultivation now reached?"

Li Musheng stared at the clean-faced, affected chief eunuch before him for a while, stroked his chin, and asked, "Are these questions what you yourself want to know? Or did that Empress from the palace ask you to inquire?"

Hearing this, Chief Eunuch Sun Changyu looked at Li Musheng with some surprise, then his gaze moved slightly. He nodded and said, "The Empress had an excellent relationship with the late Consort Jing and is quite concerned about the Seventh Prince's matter. That's why she has this question."

Li Musheng nodded slightly. He didn't seem to care how much truth was in these words. He just waved his hand and said, "I've always been frank. You can go back and tell that Empress that I have no background behind me, nor any powerful sect lineage."

"I did learn some crude martial arts at the martial arts school before. However, the martial arts I use now are all created by myself."

Saying this, Li Musheng paused, then smiled meaningfully, "As for your question about my current martial Dao cultivation realm, I can only say... it's very high."

Hearing this, Chief Eunuch Sun Changyu furrowed his brow tightly and suddenly fell silent, no longer speaking.

After quite a while, he finally shook his head and said, "I understand what Young Master Li has said. I will truthfully report to the Empress."

Li Musheng glanced at Sun Changyu, knowing the other didn't believe what he said. But he didn't care.

Sometimes it was just like this. He dealt honestly with people, but others thought he was bragging.

There wasn't even the most basic trust between people. One could only say it was the tragedy of this world.

Next, the atmosphere in the carriage became silent again.

However, before long, Li Musheng seemed to remember something and suddenly spoke pensively, "There's something I forgot to tell you earlier. I think it should still be in time if I tell you now."

Hearing this, Chief Eunuch Sun Changyu pressed his lips together. He seemed somewhat resistant due to Li Musheng's earlier "wild boasting," his tone indifferent, "Please speak, Young Master Li. This servant has been listening all along."

Li Musheng drained the tea in his cup in one gulp, then placed the teacup back on the tea table, indicating for the other to continue pouring tea, "Earlier you said that young man was a Demonic Heart Implantation. I happened to remember that I saw that Vice Commander who appeared together with you before."

Saying this, Li Musheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I sensed an aura similar to demonic techniques on him."

As soon as these words came out, Chief Eunuch Sun Changyu's expression changed slightly. He raised his eyes to look at Li Musheng.

However, he quickly withdrew his gaze and slowly shook his head, "Commander Song has served in the Tianjin Guards for many years. His background is clean and he's dedicated and responsible. Moreover, he's a trusted confidant of the Commander. He absolutely couldn't have any connection with demonic path people."

Clearly, Chief Eunuch Sun Changyu didn't believe Li Musheng's words.

Whether jianghu sects or the Great Li court, all adopted an attitude of absolute intolerance toward demonic path people.

These people would stop at nothing to practice demonic techniques. Abandoning wives and children, severing emotions and nature were minor matters.

Some with deep demonic nature had absolutely no humanity at all. They killed people to practice techniques and brought chaos to the common people, simply causing endless harm.

Therefore, Great Li had long had laws that anyone practicing demonic path techniques would be killed without exception. Naturally, demonic path people absolutely couldn't be allowed to infiltrate the court.

Seeing Chief Eunuch Sun Changyu dismiss his words, Li Musheng raised his eyebrows.

Earlier, his mind had been focused on researching the new martial art, which was why he hadn't paid too much attention to this matter.

However, after he remembered this matter, he had promptly informed him, which could be considered having done his utmost duty.

As for the other not believing it, there was nothing he could do.

Just at this moment, Li Musheng's heart suddenly stirred. He reached out to lift the carriage curtain and looked outside.

The carriage that had originally been escorted by armored soldiers had now left the bustling long street and entered a somewhat quieter street.

However, when the carriage was about to reach the fork in the road ahead, it suddenly moved away from the armored soldier formation and drove into another alley.

Immediately following this, a carriage identical to the one Li Musheng was riding appeared from the side.

It replaced the carriage Li Musheng was riding and continued forward under the escort of the armored soldier formation.
