Chapter 554 Return
Upon hearing the words of the Holy Lord of the Nether Sea, the woman with yellow eyebrows nodded solemnly and said:
"It is highly unusual that the Jiang family of Baidi City could trap so many top martial arts masters in that secret place. There must be a great secret hidden within."
Upon hearing this, the Holy Lord of the Nether Sea's expression shifted, and a sharp glint appeared in his eyes.
He glanced at the woman with yellow eyebrows, then turned his gaze to Li Musheng.
If Li Musheng hadn't called him over to speak, he would probably be in the same predicament as the other martial arts masters, trapped in the secret traps deep within the Jiang residence.
However, Youhai Saint Lord would naturally not feel any gratitude towards Li Musheng for this, since Li Musheng did this in order to take him away and make him follow in the footsteps of Xuequan Saint Lord and Rakshasa Saint Lord.
However, Youhai Saint King suddenly realized that if the Jiang family, a small family, could have the means to trap so many experts, then this family must have had some great opportunity.
Furthermore, the fact that two exceptionally talented martial arts geniuses had simultaneously emerged from the Jiang family, a prominent family in the martial arts world, made Youhai Shengjun even more suspicious of the value of this so-called "opportunity," and he couldn't help but feel greedy for it.
Thinking to himself, the Holy Lord of the Nether Sea remained outwardly calm, and suddenly spoke while looking at Li Musheng at the edge of the martial arts arena:
"Your Highness, you just mentioned wanting to witness the Yellow Springs Sacred Technique of my Yellow Springs Department, but this technique requires five Holy Lords to perform, and currently the Holy Lord of the Underworld Mountain is trapped in the Jiang family's secret realm and cannot emerge..."
At this point, the Holy Lord of the Nether Sea paused, observing the changes in Li Musheng's expression.
His reason for saying this was, of course, to implicate Li Musheng.
However, when the Holy Lord of the Nether Sea saw that Li Musheng remained unmoved, he continued speaking:
“If something happens to Mount Ming, the five of us Holy Lords will never be able to gather together again, and we will not be able to demonstrate the Yellow Spring Holy Law to Your Highness.”
"Your Highness possesses exceptional martial arts skills. While the Jiang family's secret realm might be able to trap others, it certainly cannot trap Your Highness. Currently, it seems only Your Highness can rescue Mingshan."
Faced with the praise bestowed upon him by the Holy Lord of the Nether Sea, Li Musheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said:
"While what you said is indeed correct, a mere secret location is certainly not worth my attention."
"However, I have no reason to intervene, nor do I care about meddling in other people's business. More importantly, the Saintly Monarch of the Underworld you mentioned is merely trapped and won't die anytime soon, so why the rush?"
Upon hearing this, the Holy Lord of the Nether Sea was taken aback.
He naturally guessed that Li Musheng wouldn't be so easily fooled, but the other party's arrogant attitude still made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
After all, his purpose in praising Li Musheng was to get the other party to take action, but instead of doing so, the other party lectured him in a condescending manner, which naturally made him feel uncomfortable.
At this moment, the woman with yellow eyebrows saw that the cowardly manner in which the Holy Lord of the Sea was showing in front of Li Musheng was completely different from how he had confidently vowed to defeat the prince of Dali in front of her earlier.
In an instant, the yellow-browed woman's face revealed an undisguised look of disdain, and she sneered:
"This is the first time I've ever seen a Holy Lord of the Yellow Springs Department rushing to offer a warm welcome only to be met with a cold shoulder. He really brings honor to the Western Desert Jianghu."
Upon hearing this, the Holy Lord of the Nether Sea's face turned pale and then red, but naturally he couldn't reveal his true thoughts. Of course, he also couldn't admit to the woman with yellow eyebrows that he was indeed somewhat afraid of the prince of the Great Li before him.
"Instead of wasting your time putting me down, you should be thinking about what to do in this situation. Do you desert lords still want to take on apprentices?"
The Holy Lord of the Nether Sea spoke in a deep voice, deliberately changing the subject. Upon hearing this, the woman with yellow eyebrows frowned deeply.
The current situation is clearly somewhat tricky. She and the Holy Lord of the Nether Sea can neither catch up with the Mirage Tower Master nor dare to easily enter the secret area deep within the Jiang Mansion.
The safest course of action for the two of them right now is to stay in the training ground and wait without doing anything.
As for Huang Mei, although three Huangsha lords came to Shahai City this time, the other two Huangsha lords had been seriously injured while following the Green Mountain Tower Master to explore the White Emperor's Tomb and had only recently returned, so they did not attend this apprenticeship ceremony.
Therefore, among the people who came from Shahai City this time, she was actually the only one who could actually take action, so she naturally couldn't take any risks easily.
At this moment, the Holy Lord of the Nether Sea shared the same thought as the Yellow-Eyebrowed Woman: it was better for him to die than for his friend to die. It was naturally impossible for him to risk his life to save the Holy Lord of the Underworld Mountain.
Since Li Musheng didn't make a move, he could only wait for the return of the White Tiger Temple Master, or for the martial arts masters trapped in the secret place to escape on their own.
As for the Jiang family's secret, although he was interested, there was clearly no suitable opportunity under the current circumstances.
Just as the two on the training ground fell silent, each lost in their own thoughts, the voice of the evil-faced monk suddenly echoed from deep within the Jiang family mansion:
"It wasn't in vain that the old man used his little trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain, making a special trip back. This Jiang family is indeed quite interesting!"
The evil-faced monk's voice made no attempt to conceal itself, echoing throughout the entire Jiang residence.
The expressions of both the Holy Lord of the Nether Sea and the woman with yellow eyebrows changed, and they both looked sharply towards the depths of the Jiang family mansion. This evil-faced monk was not the real evil-faced monk, but the master of the mirage who had returned.
Neither of them expected that after kidnapping Jiang Wang, the other party would not only not flee Baidi City, but would also deceive the Lord of the White Tiger Temple and return to the Jiang family again.
Why did he come back? What is his purpose?
Lord Youhai frowned and spoke, gazing into the depths of the Jiang family mansion. But soon, he suddenly turned his head and met the gaze of the yellow-browed woman who had also turned her head.
Immediately, the two spoke almost simultaneously:
"That old bastard is insatiable; he wants both!"
Clearly, both of them had already guessed that the reason why the Mirage Lord returned to the Jiang family and went directly to the Jiang family's secret place was mostly because of the genius girl Jiang Si.
Meanwhile, the Lord of the Mirage, still appearing as a malevolent ascetic, floated above a pile of ruins.
This place was originally the study of the Jiang family patriarch, but because it contained the entrance to a secret passage, it was the first to be hit by the massive tremor and had already been completely destroyed and collapsed, now turning into an extremely deep pit.
And in the dark corner of the pit lies the entrance to the secret place Jiang Si had mentioned.
The Mirage Lord's figure flickered erratically, its gaze fixed on the deep pit below, a hazy light swirling in its eyes, as if trying to discern everything within the secret realm below. (End of Chapter)
