Great Li Martial God

After emerging from the underground Floating Boat City, the time had already reached afternoon.

Li Musheng and Li Yuanling went to take a look at the new residence. He was quite satisfied with his mansion, so they headed back to the Tianjin Guards headquarters.

However, Li Yuanling was not very happy along the way. She seemed to have strong objections to Li Musheng getting entangled with that vixen Han Meiyan, and threatened, ”You actually took in a demonic path witch? Be careful when His Majesty finds out, he definitely won’t let you off.”

”Sworn sister, you don’t actually think I would be afraid of that His Majesty, do you?”

Li Musheng glanced at Li Yuanling. She opened her mouth but couldn’t say anything.

Li Yuanling had already witnessed Li Musheng’s terrifying martial Dao strength. Heaven-Human Realm experts were like rookies before him.

To be honest, if Li Musheng truly became lawless, that Emperor Yuanwu might really have no way to deal with him.

Thinking this over, Li Yuanling’s eyes rolled as she said, ”If you want to find the divine beast Fire Qilin, I can actually help too.”

Hearing this, Li Musheng raised his eyebrows slightly and said, ”Sworn sister, don’t talk big. When I asked you before if you knew any leads about Qilin Blood, you went completely silent on me?”

Li Yuanling rolled her eyes and said, ”That was because you’re such a miser who won’t even pluck a single hair. Clearly I helped you, yet you as my sworn brother didn’t show any appreciation at all. Why would I tell you?”Li Musheng’s eyelid twitched violently, then he narrowed his eyes at her, ”Don’t slander my reputation. I’m a very generous person. As long as you can really help me find the divine beast Fire Qilin, I definitely won’t skimp on rewarding you.”

Li Yuanling chuckled, but she didn’t continue to mock Li Musheng. Instead, she said with a mysterious expression, ”I have a very close sister friend. She knows astronomy above and geography below, practically omniscient. Moreover, she comes from the famous Tianji Pavilion in the martial world.”

”This time, it was also she who told me that Floating Boat City contained a divine object. I think she might very likely know leads about the divine beast Fire Qilin.”

Hearing this, Li Musheng’s expression shifted as he reached up to stroke his chin.

He had indeed heard of this Tianji Pavilion. It was an extremely mysterious power in the martial world of the five nations, claiming to be able to glimpse the heavenly secrets, with all the happenings in the martial world entering their ears.

Moreover, Tianji Pavilion had an extremely vast intelligence network throughout the entire martial world. The ”Tianji Rankings” circulating in the martial world recorded many secret matters and important news of the martial world, becoming a topic of great interest among martial world people.

Thinking of this, he felt Li Yuanling was starting to seem a bit more reliable, and immediately said, ”Then why don’t you quickly introduce me to that good sister of yours.”

However, Li Yuanling suddenly narrowed her eyes and waved her hand, saying, ”Don’t rush. She’s not in Shangyang City these days. After she returns, I’ll go find her.”

Li Musheng looked at her suspiciously, suddenly feeling that this sworn sister was starting to seem somewhat unreliable again.

At this moment, Li Yuanling gave him a confident look and patted her chest, saying, ”Relax. Sooner or later you’ll understand that those outside demonic path witches aren’t worth trusting at all. Only I, your sworn sister, am truly reliable.”

Speaking thus, her gaze turned as she stared at Li Musheng and said righteously, ”However, the reward you promised me cannot be withheld. This is my bottom line.”

Li Musheng raised an eyebrow but still nodded slowly.

No matter what, this sworn sister of his did have some luck about her. For instance, this time he was able to find Qilin Blood, she had indeed played a significant role in it.

What if next time she stumbled into good fortune again and truly helped him find leads about the divine beast Fire Qilin by pure coincidence, that wasn’t entirely impossible either.

...

The sun set in the west, and the sky gradually darkened.

The day passed just like that. When Li Musheng returned to the Tianjin Guards headquarters, he heard some rather unexpected news.

The secret about Imperial Consort Ji’s death had actually spread out from the heavily guarded Great Li imperial palace.

This news spread very quickly. In less than half a day, even the guards of the Tianjin Guards were quietly discussing it in private.

Li Musheng hadn’t expected that such an event that damaged the Great Li imperial family’s reputation would be allowed to leak out from within the palace.

Moreover, it probably wouldn’t be long before the entire Shangyang City would be spreading the news that someone had infiltrated the Great Li imperial palace and killed a Great Li imperial consort.

Of course, this matter had no impact on Li Musheng whatsoever, and he didn’t care about it.

Even if someone really investigated and discovered this deed was his doing, he wouldn’t mind.

However, not long after Li Musheng returned to the Tianjin Guards headquarters, Commander Fu Qiwen, who was originally burdened with numerous affairs, came to the courtyard where he was staying.

The other party didn’t hide much from Li Musheng. After all, they now had a task involving life and death like exterminating Falling God Peak, so they were now grasshoppers tied to the same rope.

”Your Highness, earlier the Right Minister and the Third Prince both sent letters, ordering this subject to devote all the Tianjin Guards’ strength to help investigate and find the murderer who killed Imperial Consort Ji.”

Fu Qiwen cupped his hands in salute upon meeting Li Musheng and said, ”Your Highness must have already heard about Imperial Consort Ji’s matter. This affair is indeed a major event sufficient to shock the court and the people. From both reason and emotion, this subject as the Tianjin Guards Commander does indeed have the duty to apprehend the murderer.”

”However, Your Highness naturally knows the Tianjin Guards’ current situation. Right now our focus is entirely on Falling God Peak, and we truly don’t have the energy to spare for this matter.”

Li Musheng glanced at him and said, ”Commander Fu’s meaning is that you want me to help you deal with that Right Minister and the Third Prince?”

Hearing this, Fu Qiwen nodded and said, ”With Your Highness’s status, as long as you can temporarily withstand the pressure for two days until this subject finishes handling affairs in the capital, that will be sufficient.”

Li Musheng showed a thoughtful expression, then nodded and said, ”This matter naturally poses no problem. Right now the most important thing is exterminating Falling God Peak. All other matters are insignificant.”

Speaking thus, he changed the subject and said, ”However, I do want to ask Commander Fu, what is your view on Imperial Consort Ji being killed?”

Fu Qiwen raised his head to look at Li Musheng, his brow furrowing slightly as he said, ”I don’t know what Your Highness means by this?”

Li Musheng said with a calm expression, ”I heard that Imperial Consort Ji colluded with the Cangyuan Marquis’s mansion and slaughtered women to serve as blood food for Imperial Consort Ji’s demonic cultivation. Do you think someone like her deserved to be killed?”

Hearing this, Fu Qiwen’s expression changed as his gaze fixed on Li Musheng, ”I don’t know from where Your Highness heard of this matter?”

”Naturally from Six Doors.”

Li Musheng spoke with a composed expression. Fu Qiwen’s expression shifted as he said, ”This subject dares not speak rashly about the truth or falsehood of this matter, as it involves a palace consort. However, if this matter is true, this subject believes it should be handled according to Great Li law.”
