Chapter 473 Request for an Audience
Upon hearing this, the blind man remained silent for a moment. However, he did not agree to anything. After thinking for a moment, he changed the subject and asked:
"I overheard the general talking to that fairy of white clouds just now; it seems they were planning to enter the tomb of the White Emperor?"
Upon hearing this, the Earthly Guide Ancestor nodded and said:
"Originally, I wasn't very interested in the Tomb of the White Emperor, but since I'll be going to the Great Chu soon, if I can find something in the Tomb of the White Emperor, it might be helpful for my revenge."
As he spoke, the Earthly Ancestor turned and glanced at the blind man, instructing him:
"That woman must have already discovered Your Highness, but she probably thought I would handle it, so she didn't make a move. The Tomb of the White Emperor is of great importance, Your Highness should just listen and not spread this matter, lest you bring trouble upon yourself."
The blind man shook his head and faced the Earth-Guiding Ancestor, saying:
"Actually, I know some things about the Tomb of the White Emperor, and I also know some of its secrets. Therefore, I hope that the general can take me with him when he enters the Tomb of the White Emperor."
The Earthly Ancestor frowned slightly, but after confirming that the blind man did indeed have this idea, he pondered for a moment before speaking:
"The Tomb of the White Emperor is not a good place, but since Your Highness has made this request, I will not refuse. After all, with my strength, protecting Your Highness should be no problem."
"What I am curious about is Your Highness's purpose in wanting to enter the Tomb of the White Emperor?"
Upon hearing this, the blind man remained silent for a moment.
Over the years, although he still trusted the old general in front of him, there were some things he did not explain in detail. He only said that he would tell the other party everything once they entered the Tomb of the White Emperor.
However, the Earthly Ancestor did not pursue the matter further. He then returned from the window to the table and sat down, beginning to reminisce with the blind man and inquiring about his experiences over the years.
……
Meanwhile, after the White Tiger Temple backed down in the face of the great demon Li Musheng, everything in the entire White Emperor City seemed to have returned to normal.
Since Li Musheng, the great demon, had not caused any further trouble, the martial arts figures of the Western Desert gradually turned their attention to the upcoming apprenticeship ceremony.
After all, the original purpose of these martial arts figures from the Western Desert gathering in Baidi City was for the Jiang family's disciple recruitment ceremony for their prodigy.
In the shadows of Baidi City, whether it was the former master of the Hidden Killing Pavilion and the Killing Saint, or the remnants of the Green Mountain Tower and the Jingjue Ancient City, they were all secretly searching for the tomb of the White Emperor and preparing to enter it.
Inside the courtyard, Li Musheng was still studying the demonic scripture he had obtained from Daoist Qingyu, as well as the Longevity Scripture.
Li Musheng is still young and has no need for the Longevity Scripture. However, this scripture is clearly different from ordinary martial arts techniques.
People in the martial arts world pursue powerful martial arts skills to improve their martial arts strength, but the Longevity Scripture does the opposite. It not only does not improve martial arts cultivation, but also causes one to dissipate all of one's martial arts cultivation.
Trading one's martial arts cultivation for a few hundred years of mere survival is undoubtedly still extremely tempting for those nearing the end of their lifespan, because there will always be those who think that after dissipating their martial arts cultivation, they can cultivate it back again.
However, Li Musheng immediately saw that this idea of exploiting a bug was completely unfeasible; the process of cultivating the Longevity Scripture was entirely irreversible.
However, he has not yet fully grasped the true key to the longevity cultivation method of the Longevity Scripture in extending lifespan.
As for that demonic scripture, Li Musheng had already studied it to a great extent, and had almost completely comprehended this technique that could be called the supreme divine skill of the demonic path.
The only pity is that the purpose of this demonic scripture is to create an unparalleled demon with unparalleled demonic power, which goes against Li Musheng's wishes. He does need the demonic scripture as a foundation to improve his own demonic power, but he does not want to accumulate demonic nature, so he still has to spend time discarding the drawbacks of the demonic scripture.
Although with his current martial will, mere demonic nature cannot affect him in the slightest, this demonic scripture holds a very high position in the entire demonic path and is very valuable for him to improve.
Li Musheng even had a preliminary idea in mind: he felt that he could take advantage of the Demon Scripture's ability to govern all demonic cultivation techniques in the world and use it to suppress the demonic nature of the demonic techniques he was cultivating.
Of course, although Li Musheng has extraordinary comprehension, it will still take him some time to accomplish all of this.
Just then, a carriage slowly drove up the previously deserted street in front of Li Musheng's residence.
The carriage was not luxurious; four strings of silver wind chimes hung from its corners, and the driver was a woman wearing a veil.
As the clear sound of wind chimes drifted by, the carriage finally stopped in the alleyway in front of the inner courtyard.
The seven members of the White Tiger Temple had been kneeling there for most of the day, and as the sun began to set, they remained motionless.
The veiled woman lifted the carriage curtain, and the Fairy of White Clouds, dressed in a snow-white long dress and with light makeup, stepped down from the carriage.
She was tall and beautiful, with long, smooth, black hair. When she stepped barefoot onto the street, the tiny silver bells on her snow-white ankles jingled melodiously.
"This humble woman comes from Banyun City. Ever since I heard about the many heroic deeds of His Highness the Eighth Prince, I have always admired him and have come here to pay my respects."
The Fairy of White Clouds stopped in front of the tightly closed gate of the mansion, bowed slightly, and her gentle, water-like voice drifted into Li Musheng's ears in the mansion room as silently as a gentle rain.
Upon hearing this, Li Musheng, who was in the room, raised an eyebrow slightly.
He knew that he was famous in the martial arts world and must have a lot of female admirers, but this was undoubtedly the first person to come to him personally.
The next moment, the tightly closed gate of the mansion slowly opened, and Li Musheng's voice came through:
"Now everyone in the Western Desert Jianghu says I am a great demon. The fact that you can set aside worldly prejudices to see me shows that your admiration for me is truly sincere and different from that of ordinary people. So I will make an exception and let you in."
Upon hearing this, Fairy Baiyun, who had been smiling outside the mansion, couldn't help but twitch her eyes slightly.
Clearly, even Fairy Baiyun hadn't expected that she had simply made up a reason to meet Li Musheng.
As a result, the young demon king, who had even made the White Tiger Temple retreat, did not bother to check her identity at all after hearing her story. Instead, he simply let her in.
And judging from the other person's tone, it seems they actually took her words seriously!
Fairy Baiyun glanced up at the gate of the mansion before her, her naturally alluring phoenix eyes narrowing slightly as she thought to herself:
"This kid is still young. If I use some more tricks, he might become even more obsessed with me."
