Chapter 528
Treasure Selection
At this moment, the middle-aged man withdrew his hand from the cold bronze coffin, turned to look at Li Musheng, and said:
"Young man, come with me."
After saying that, the middle-aged man put one hand behind his back and walked out of the bronze hall.
Seeing this, Li Musheng beckoned the big black cat to follow. Before long, the man and the cat, led by the middle-aged man, walked through a void and dark space and finally returned to the small house on the eighth floor of the White Emperor Tower.
Inside the small house, the young girl Ah Xiu was pacing anxiously, while the illusory bubble on the table was still there, and the voice of the princess could be heard from inside from time to time.
"Don't waste time here. Although I also want to replace my sister, now that she has overcome the weakness of her 'natal domain,' she is invincible on this eighth floor."
"Even if your prince is incredibly powerful, he's probably in grave danger and unlikely to return alive..."
……
However, the next moment, after the middle-aged man and Li Musheng appeared out of thin air in the small house, the voice in the illusory bubble stopped abruptly.
When the young girl Ah Xiu saw that Li Musheng had returned unharmed, her face lit up with joy, and she quickly went to greet him.
"Old man, I knew you were still alive."
At this moment, the voice of the Empress's sister suddenly rang out again from the illusory bubble, but it seemed to be mixed with a trace of obvious resentment.
The middle-aged man's gaze fell upon the illusory ice crystal coffin within the bubble, examined it for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"Do you think the mistakes you made aren't small enough? Stay in there and don't cause any more trouble."
As he spoke, the middle-aged man casually waved his hand, intending to conceal the illusory bubble on the table.
However, the illusory princess sister spoke out angrily:
"If you have the ability, then seal me away for life. It was clearly you who trusted that Emperor Tianqi who caused my mother's death."
"But you dared not do anything, like a coward, burying us in this dark and gloomy place..."
"enough."
The middle-aged man interrupted the princess's younger sister, saying before completely erasing the illusory bubble on the table:
"There are many things you don't understand now, but one day you will know the truth about it all."
As the words fell, the illusory bubble vanished completely.
Li Musheng witnessed all of this, and from their conversation, he naturally sensed a hint of gossip.
However, at this moment, the middle-aged man spoke first to Li Musheng:
"Young man, I'm willing to accept defeat. Next, I'll show you my collection. Maybe there are some things you'll like."
After saying that, the middle-aged man walked to a wall in the central hall of the small house, stepped inside as if it were empty, and then disappeared from Li Musheng and the others' sight.
Seeing this, Li Musheng suppressed his curiosity about gossip and then also stepped into the wall.
The big black cat that followed behind Li Musheng naturally followed suit immediately.
Only the young girl, Ah Xiu, glanced at the vanished person and cat, and, with great self-awareness, did not follow them into the wall.
But the next moment, an invisible hand suddenly reached out from inside the wall and abruptly pulled him inside.
With a wave of dizziness, the scene before the young girl Ah Xiu's eyes changed rapidly. When she could finally see clearly what was around her, a look of surprise appeared on her face.
She found herself back in the small village she had entered through the stone gate. The girl, Ah Xiu, stood on a bamboo bridge, with the dry riverbed beneath her feet, and seven or eight houses scattered on the other side of the bridge.
Meanwhile, Li Musheng and the black cat were following the middle-aged man ahead, heading towards the extremely poor-looking village.
"You actually hid the treasure here?"
Li Musheng frowned slightly, while the big black cat following him gestured and seemed somewhat angry as they walked.
The implication was clear: they were accusing the middle-aged man in front of them of playing a trick on them.
“Young man, the White Emperor Tower you saw before is only a part of this place. This is the true secret realm of the ancient ferocious beast, the White Tiger.”
The middle-aged man explained calmly, and as he spoke, he had already entered the village.
The middle-aged man looked around at the group of simple houses, a hint of reminiscence appearing in his eyes.
Then, he walked to a room, gently pushed open the door, and turned to Li Musheng, saying:
Come in and have a look.
Upon hearing this, Li Musheng walked into the room with some skepticism, but the next moment, he heard the big black cat's startled meows beside him.
The room before them was nothing like the impoverished place they had been in before. On the contrary, it was a vast and well-stocked treasure trove, a veritable treasure trove of immense wealth.
Among them, various powerful martial arts treasures, exuding a faint aura of danger, floated in mid-air, including sharp spears gleaming with blue light and giant axes with runes appearing and disappearing... their numbers were countless.
More importantly, at the center of these martial arts treasures, floats a dark ink-colored pen rest and a dull iron sword lying horizontally.
At this moment, the girl Ah Xiu also entered the room. She immediately recognized that the two things floating in the center of the room were the legendary White King's divine weapons, the "Mountain-Turning Seal" and the "Slaying Sword".
Upon seeing these two martial arts divine weapons, the young girl Ah Xiu's expression subtly changed, and she looked at the middle-aged man standing next to Li Musheng.
Although the young girl Ah Xiu was not sure of this person's true identity at this time, she knew from her previous experience with the remnants of the Jingjue Ancient City clan that the Mountain-Turning Seal had appeared in the underground White Emperor City and was eventually taken away by a group of people behind the scenes.
According to the speculation of the three clan elders at the time, the person behind this was most likely the White Tiger Temple.
But now that the Mountain-Turning Seal has appeared here, it means that the middle-aged man in front of us must have a close relationship with the White Tiger Temple.
"Young man, is there anything here that catches your eye?"
At this moment, the middle-aged man slowly asked, showing no trace of lingering affection for the martial arts treasures in the room.
Upon hearing this, Li Musheng carefully examined each of the treasures in the room, any one of which would be enough to make martial arts masters fight tooth and nail for them.
Aside from lingering a little longer on the Mountain-Turning Seal and the Sword of Slaying the Gate, everything else was glanced at quickly.
"This won't do either. I didn't find anything I liked."
Li Musheng frowned as he looked at the middle-aged man, his expression of great disappointment undisguised.
Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man, whose expression was usually gentle and calm, was slightly taken aback. Then, he glanced at his two favorite divine weapons in the room.
It seemed that no one had expected Li Musheng to have such high standards, not even liking the Mountain-Turning Seal and the Sword of Slaying the Gate.
"Young people certainly have high standards."
The middle-aged man gave Li Musheng a deep look, understanding in his heart that this young man harbored great ambitions. (End of Chapter)
