Chapter 153: The Zhanliu Blade
Was this truly the Eighth Prince who carried not a trace of True Qi?
Or was it in fact some martial expert hiding in the shadows behind him who had acted?
Hu Rui'an's expression shifted through a rapid succession of changes, his thoughts in turmoil. He had completely lost track of the teasing Li Musheng had directed at him just moments ago, and was now simply staring at Li Musheng without stop, as though trying to read some clue from the man's appearance.
Faced with Hu Rui'an's piercing gaze, Li Musheng paid him no mind and instead turned to look at Shen Liancheng.
He had worked out the relationships among those present. In essence, Hu Rui'an had been secretly meeting with the wife of this Zhanliu Manor Master and had been caught in the act.
Now Shen Liancheng was wearing a green patch above his brow, and naturally had no intention of letting the matter go.
Even so, this had nothing to do with Li Musheng, since it was Hu Rui'an who had gone after someone else's wife, not him.
With that thought, Li Musheng looked at Shen Liancheng across from him and spoke calmly, saying, "Manor Master Shen, I am a reasonable person. You and the Alliance Under Heaven conspired in secret to poison our entire group. Are you going to settle this by dying in atonement here and now, or would you prefer that I take your life myself?"
The moment those words landed, the entire room went utterly still, so quiet one could hear a pin drop.
