Chapter 553 Unexpected Changes
Upon hearing Li Musheng suddenly ask him a question, the Holy Lord of the Nether Sea felt a sudden tightness in his heart.
It should be noted that all three Holy Lords of the Yellow Springs Department were defeated by the Prince of Dali before them. Although the Holy Lord of Youhai had confidence in the Yellow Springs Holy Law, he was no match for Li Musheng now that he was the only one present.
For a moment, the Holy Lord of the Nether Sea's expression changed rapidly, but in the end, he still mustered his courage and spoke to Li Musheng:
“Ghost Prison has indeed informed me of Your Highness’s intentions. However, casting the Yellow Springs Sacred Technique requires the joint efforts of five Holy Lords, and Blood Spring and Rakshasa are still in Your Highness’s hands…”
Having said that, Lord Youhai stopped speaking and instead looked up at Li Musheng.
His words were actually quite clear: the five great holy rulers were too few in number to perform the Yellow Springs Holy Technique.
It was precisely for this reason that, although the Holy Lord of the Nether Sea and the Holy Lord of the Underworld had already met the Holy Lord of the Ghost Prison, they could not trust Li Musheng at all, and were not confident that they could deal with this prince of the Great Li. Therefore, they temporarily put aside the matter of rescuing the Holy Lord of the Blood Spring and the Holy Lord of the Rakshasa.
Upon hearing the explanation from the Holy Lord of the Nether Sea, Li Musheng raised an eyebrow and said:
"It's not like I won't give you a chance to make a move. I will definitely help those two you mentioned regain their strength."
As he spoke, a thought flashed through Li Musheng's mind, and he continued:
“Perfect timing. Since we’ve met here, you can come with me later. That way, the five Holy Lords of the Yellow Springs Department should be able to gather, saving me from having to wait any longer.”
Upon hearing this, the Holy Lord of the Nether Sea felt a sudden sinking feeling in his heart.
Although he and the Holy Lord of the Underworld have temporarily put aside the matter of the Holy Lord of the Blood Spring, it does not mean that they have no other plans.
Their original plan was to wait until everything was ready before launching a surprise attack on Li Musheng.
However, Li Musheng was now going to take him away directly, which was clearly not what he had expected.
Furthermore, and more importantly, Youhai Saint King was well aware that he alone could hardly be a match for Li Musheng.
If he were to refuse or resist, he would likely suffer the same fate as the Blood Spring Saint Lord.
"Your Highness, please give us some more time. Besides, Ghost Prison didn't attend the disciple recruitment ceremony today, so we're still short one person..."
However, Li Musheng directly waved his hand to interrupt Youhai Saint Lord, saying somewhat impatiently:
"It's alright, just come with me, I'll have someone notify him."
As he spoke, Li Musheng leaned back in his armchair, squinting as he surveyed the Nether Sea Saint Lord on the training ground, and said:
"Unless...you don't want to come with me at all?"
Upon hearing this, the Holy Lord of the Nether Sea in the martial arts arena suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. Although the prince of the Great Li Dynasty in front of him did not reveal any martial arts aura or martial arts pressure, he was still deeply moved.
However, the Holy Lord of the Nether Sea knew that the shocking rumors about Li Musheng circulating in the martial arts world were not unfounded, as the three Holy Lords of the Yellow Springs Department had almost confirmed this.
Thinking to himself, the Holy Lord of the Nether Sea stood silently for a moment, but ultimately did nothing, and sighed:
"Since Your Highness insists, then I will accompany you."
The Holy Lord of the Nether Sea spoke with great reluctance, but he had no other choice but to hope that the five Holy Lords would unite and then use the Yellow Springs Holy Law to suppress this child. Upon hearing this, Li Musheng nodded slightly, somewhat satisfied with the Holy Lord of the Nether Sea's attitude.
Just then, a deafening roar suddenly came from deep within the Jiang family mansion, causing the entire mansion to tremble and shake violently.
Standing on the training ground, Lord Youhai turned his head and looked over, then frowned slightly, clearly unaware of what had happened over there.
Following that initial loud bang, a series of deafening roars continued to echo from the depths of the Jiang family mansion.
The powerful aftershocks caused the Jiang family mansion to tremble and crack, with brick walls and floors cracking. If the tremors continued, the entire Jiang family mansion would soon be reduced to ruins.
However, to the surprise of Youhai Shengjun, despite the great disturbance deep within the Jiang family mansion, none of the martial arts masters who had followed Jiang Si had revealed themselves, nor had they shown any trace of their martial arts aura.
"Could it be... that the secret location of the Jiang family is truly not simple?"
The Holy Lord of the Nether Sea looked thoughtful. According to his previous thinking, with so many martial arts masters and renowned figures from the Jiang family coming out, taking over a mere secret place of the Jiang family should be effortless and could be resolved in a short time.
However, some time has passed, but none of the martial arts masters have appeared, so they are probably still in that secret place.
Just as the Holy Lord of the Nether Sea was filled with doubt, the yellow-browed woman who had left the martial arts arena suddenly rushed out from the depths of the Jiang family mansion, then transformed into a cloud of quicksand that instantly traversed an extremely long distance, and finally emerged from a crack in the ground near the martial arts arena.
The Holy Lord of the Nether Sea naturally sensed that the woman with yellow eyebrows had returned. He immediately turned to look at her and saw that her hair was disheveled and her expression was rather unpleasant.
"Why are you back? What happened over there?"
The Holy Lord of the Nether Sea naturally sensed something was wrong and immediately asked the woman with yellow eyebrows.
Upon hearing this, the woman with yellow eyebrows frowned, glanced around, her gaze lingering briefly on Li Musheng not far away, before shaking her head and saying:
"The secret passage with mechanisms that the little girl from the Jiang family mentioned is problematic. If it weren't for the special cultivation technique I practice, I'm afraid I would have already fallen into it like everyone else."
Upon hearing this, although the Holy Lord of the Nether Sea already had some guesses in his mind, he was still somewhat incredulous and hurriedly asked:
"What exactly happened? Could a mere Jiang family possibly hold so many top martial arts masters captive?"
The woman with yellow eyebrows frowned, pondered for a moment, and then shook her head, saying:
"I can't explain it either. Just now, I used the quicksand burrowing technique to try to take a shortcut underground to enter that secret place, but I found that the secret place was covered by an impregnable barrier."
“Even my quicksand escape technique cannot penetrate it, making it impossible to enter. Therefore, I have taken precautions and plan to detour and enter from the secret entrance.”
"But at the crucial moment, I found that it was easy to enter but difficult to leave. If I hadn't made an emergency retreat at the last moment before stepping into the entrance, I would probably have ended up like everyone else."
Upon hearing this, the Holy Lord of the Nether Sea's expression shifted uncertainly, then, as if realizing something, he said:
"So, those huge tremors deep within the Jiang family mansion were perhaps caused by martial arts masters trapped in a secret area trying to escape?" (End of Chapter)
