Great Li Martial God

At this point, Li Musheng gave a casual wave of his hand, and the Blood Spring Holy Lord and the other two, who had been bound and suspended in the air, suddenly dropped without any warning.

The three Yellow Spring Holy Lords all showed expressions of momentary delight, having discovered that at some point they had regained the ability to move freely on their own.

But when the three of them attempted to circulate their true qi, they realized their acupoints and meridians were still sealed, and their formidable martial strength was completely unusable.

Having lost their martial cultivation, the three Yellow Spring Holy Lords naturally had no way to ride the air and remain suspended either, and crashed straight down into the streets and alleys below.

Even so, though the three had lost their martial cultivation, their tempered bodies and bone structures remained intact, and so falling from a height of several dozen zhang, beyond leaving three craters in the ground, they suffered no particularly serious injuries.

”Cough, cough...”

The three Yellow Spring Holy Lords crawled out from the dust and rubble-filled craters, faces covered in dirt, looking utterly disheveled.

The Yellow Spring experts watching the battle nearby had their jaws drop in shock at the sight, their expressions extremely strange. When had they ever seen the three Holy Lords who ruled over the Yellow Spring Tribe in such an undignified, humiliating state?

Of course, this also made them deeply aware that the once untouchable three Holy Lords had now been thoroughly and completely defeated.

The mysterious demon lord above had nearly effortlessly subdued the three Holy Lords to this state, and his demonic cultivation had clearly reached a level they could not even begin to imagine.With that thought, the assembled Yellow Spring experts felt deep terror settle into their hearts, but none of them dared try to flee rashly.

After all, if even the three Holy Lords could not escape the demon lord’s grasp, what hope did they have?

At the same time, after the Rakshasa Holy Lord and the other two had crawled out of their craters, their dust-covered faces showed shifting expressions. They exchanged a glance, then all looked up at Li Musheng together and asked, ”What is the meaning of this?”

Li Musheng had not killed them, but he had sealed their martial cultivation. At this moment, the three of them were no different from ordinary people, and even if they wanted to flee, they had no way of doing so. More importantly, they had no idea what Li Musheng was actually planning by doing this.

”What meaning could there be? I just need the three of you to accompany me to White Emperor City. Once we arrive, I will naturally restore your martial cultivation.”

Li Musheng waved a casual hand and said this to the three Yellow Spring Holy Lords.

He then swept the area with his eyes, paying no attention whatsoever to the assembled Yellow Spring experts around, and instructed Cao Gaoshan in the guesthouse’s main hall below, ”These three are yours to watch. Don’t let them escape. Don’t disturb me unless something important comes up.”

With that, Li Musheng’s figure vanished from the sky, returning directly to his room to continue studying his martial arts.

Once Li Musheng had departed, the surrounding area fell into a brief and complete silence.

Then, the martial world experts from other factions, having come back to their senses, all quietly withdrew without hesitation, putting distance between themselves and the guesthouse.

Though no one understood why such a terrifyingly powerful demon lord had not given in to a murderous frenzy and gone on a killing spree, none of them dared risk their lives by lingering there any longer.

The assembled Yellow Spring experts, seeing that Li Musheng had simply ignored them entirely with no intention of moving against them, felt as though they had been granted a pardon and prepared to withdraw at once.

But just then, the Rakshasa Holy Lord, not far away, suddenly turned and called out to stop them, ”Wait. Help this old man with something.”

At those words, the assembled Yellow Spring experts all stopped instinctively.

The Yellow Spring Holy Lords’ authority, built up over so many years, ran deep, and even though the man before them had been defeated by the demon lord and apparently had his martial cultivation sealed, they still dared not defy his command.

”Holy Lord, what is it you need?”

One of the Yellow Spring guardians hesitated inwardly for a moment, but in the end steeled himself and turned to bow respectfully, asking.

The Rakshasa Holy Lord’s eyes were dark with malice. He glanced toward the guesthouse and was about to speak, but in the next instant, Cao Gaoshan’s figure appeared silently above the heads of the Rakshasa Holy Lord and the other two.

Cao Gaoshan said nothing at all, simply reaching out and seizing all three Yellow Spring Holy Lords with his true qi, binding them, and carrying them back to the guesthouse’s main hall.

The Rakshasa Holy Lord and the other two, having lost their martial cultivation, naturally had no way to resist. The Yellow Spring guardian, watching this unfold, did not dare make any move to stop it either, simply standing frozen as Cao Gaoshan carried the three of them away like one would carry a chicken by the neck.

”Guardian, what should we do now?”

At this point, one of the Yellow Spring experts, watching the three Holy Lords’ departing figures, asked quietly in a low voice.

The Yellow Spring guardian glanced at him and shook his head, ”This is not something we can intervene in. Let us leave for now. As for the Holy Lords, all we can do is pray they manage to escape that demon lord’s hands safely.”

With that, the Yellow Spring guardian did not linger another moment, immediately moving to flee at speed. Seeing this, the others around him did not hesitate either, immediately following close behind.

...

At the same time, Cao Gaoshan, carrying the three Yellow Spring Holy Lords, returned to the guesthouse and casually tossed all three of them into the main hall.

Ah Xiu, the Fifth Elder, and the others, witnessing this, seemed to finally come back to their senses.

For a moment, everyone’s eyes were fixed on the Blood Spring Holy Lord and the other two, as though confirming that everything happening before them was actually real.

After all, Li Musheng’s single move suppressing the three Holy Lords had been so utterly shocking that everyone present was still somewhat dazed, struggling to accept it.

At this point, the Blood Spring Holy Lord and the other two glanced at Cao Gaoshan, but dared not voice their fury aloud.

Though Cao Gaoshan had only just broken through to the Heaven-Human Realm, and under ordinary circumstances would have been beneath their notice entirely, with their own martial cultivation now sealed, and the man’s connection to Li Musheng behind him, they naturally had no choice but to swallow their anger.

Even so, when the Rakshasa Holy Lord and the Blood Spring Holy Lord swept their eyes around and settled on the blind man, Ah Xiu, and the others in the hall, both men’s expressions changed visibly.

The Rakshasa Holy Lord in particular, harboring a blood feud over his son’s death at the blind man’s hands, fixed the man with an icy, murderous glare, as though he wished he could tear him apart and devour him alive on the spot.

The Blood Spring Holy Lord, meanwhile, watched Ah Xiu, the Fifth Elder, and the others, narrowing his eyes slightly, a hint of killing intent surfacing quietly in his gaze as well.

Cao Gaoshan, witnessing all of this, looked at the Rakshasa Holy Lord and the other two and offered a warning, ”You are the people my young master wants. Until we reach White Emperor City, you may not leave without his permission. And regardless of whatever happened before, all of you must behave yourselves during this time.”

Cao Gaoshan’s words were directed at the Rakshasa Holy Lord and the other two, but equally at Ah Xiu and the others, forbidding either side from acting against the three sealed Yellow Spring Holy Lords.
