Chapter 125: Strictly Keep the Secret

According to the last page of the Green Dragon Profound Heaven Scripture, this Green Dragon True Seal will gradually take shape as the cultivator continuously absorbs Green Dragon True Qi, ultimately shedding its mortal form to transform into an supreme True Dragon that commands the Profound Heaven Thunder.

But Li Musheng knew that at the end of some Martial Way cultivation technique manuals, the creator would record their highest visions of the technique's realm, or imagine a vague and ethereal cultivation realm out of thin air.

In reality, however, there is no real basis to prove that these conjectures can truly be realized.

Although the Green Dragon Profound Heaven Scripture is indeed a Martial Way Divine Technique, the matter of this so-called Green Dragon True Seal transforming into an supreme True Dragon contains more or less some elements of boasting and painting a big pie.

Of course, Li Musheng did not erase the "Green Dragon True Seal" that had appeared from his dantian.

After all, the Green Dragon True Qi was indeed extraordinary; he actually wanted to see if this Green Dragon True Seal would truly undergo any changes in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Musheng gathered his thoughts, confirmed that no residual Green Dragon True Qi remained, and then called on Cang Cang Yin Yue and the others to leave this place.

Coming out of the Dragon-Locking Well, Bu Chengyang and A Bin exchanged a glance, but instantly became extremely restrained, both wearing faces full of deep worry.

Li Musheng not only obtained the Green Dragon Profound Heaven Scripture, a Martial Way Divine Technique coveted throughout the Jianghu, but also completely drained the Green Dragon True Qi from beneath the Dragon-Locking Well district, and furthermore, even obtained the Great Li Divine Artifact, the Dragon-Subduing Divine Sword.

Any one of these pieces of news spreading out would be enough to shock the entire Great Li Jianghu; anyone with even a shred of scheming would without hesitation form the thought of killing them to silence them.

After all, if these news spread, Li Musheng and the other would not only have to face the Great Li court, but also have to deal with troubles from all factions throughout the Jianghu.

At this moment, Bu Chengyang had even secretly made preparations to fight for his life at any moment.

No matter how powerful Li Musheng was, and no matter how slim his chances were, one could not simply sit and wait for death.

As for A Bin, he had already completely given up; for Li Musheng to kill him would be no more difficult than crushing an ant.

Any resistance on his part would be futile; it was better to calmly accept his own fate. Even if he died, at least he should die with a bit more dignity.

However, what next left Bu Chengyang and A Bin somewhat stunned was that Li Musheng simply did not pay much attention to them.

After leaving the deep well, the other party only left a sentence that left them bewildered, then took Cang Cang Yin Yue and left on his own.

Li Musheng did not lay a hand on them from beginning to end; he did not even utter a single word of threat or warning telling them not to leak the news to the outside.

Watching the backs of Li Musheng and Cang Cang Yin Yue as they departed, A Bin reached out and vigorously rubbed his face, then turned his head to look at Bu Chengyang beside him with disbelief, saying:

"He really just left like that?"

Hearing this, Bu Chengyang's expression shifted; he glared fiercely at him and said:

"Do you little brat still want to be slapped to death by him?"

"I never said that."

A Bin shrugged; seeing Li Musheng depart, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

"However, he just said we had better not stay at the Great Expansion Sword Sect. What does that mean?"

A Bin suddenly thought of the words Li Musheng said when leaving, rolled his eyes, and said:

"Could it be he is hinting that I should Pan Sect and join him? But when I did exactly that before, he clearly rejected me directly!"

A Bin showed a look of suspicion; Bu Chengyang beside him moved his gaze slightly, pondered for a moment, then slowly said:

"Just now, I heard that Miss Cang seemed to address him as 'Your Highness'. His true identity likely comes from the Great Li imperial family; perhaps he is one of those Imperial Princes of Great Li."

Hearing this, A Bin shook his head repeatedly and said:

"The year before last, at the Great Li imperial family's Heaven-Sacrificing Ceremony, I saw those Imperial Princes of Great Li from a distance; he was not among them. Moreover, if he truly were a Great Li Imperial Prince, why would he idly snatch the family's own Dragon-Subduing Divine Sword?"

Just as he was speaking, A Bin suddenly seemed to think of something, his face suddenly showing a look of shock as he said:

"Wait, it seems there really is one Imperial Prince I have not seen."

Bu Chengyang frowned slightly and said:

"Are you talking about the Eighth Imperial Prince newly acknowledged by Emperor Yuanwu?"

"That's right, it's him."

A Bin nodded, but was still somewhat uncertain:

"But according to rumors, that Eighth Imperial Prince who was lost among the common people seems to come from some remote small town; logically speaking, he should not possibly have such terrifying Martial Way strength."

Bu Chengyang remained silent for a while, raised his eyes to look in the direction Li Musheng had departed, and sighed lightly:

"That person cannot be judged by common logic; even if his identity truly is that Eighth Imperial Prince of Great Li, there is actually nothing too strange about it."

Speaking thus, he turned his head to look at A Bin and said:

"However, regarding today's matter, you and I had better strictly keep our mouths shut; not a single word should be leaked to the outside. Just pretend nothing happened, otherwise there is no guarantee he will not regret it in the future and come to settle the score with us."

Hearing this, A Bin immediately nodded repeatedly:

"Uncle, rest assured; I naturally understand. Having been an agent in the Six Fan Gate for so long, I know in my heart what should be said and what should not."

Bu Chengyang looked at him, then waved his hand and said:

"Enough. If there is nothing else, you may leave on your own first. This plan to seize the Dragon-Subduing Divine Sword has failed; I will fabricate an excuse to report back to the Sect."

A Bin agreed, prepared to turn and leave, but after thinking for a moment, he turned his head back and asked in a low voice:

"Uncle, do we still have to continue staying in the Sect?"

Bu Chengyang glared at him and said:

"What are you afraid of? He did not force us to Pan Sect. Moreover, the Great Expansion Sword Sect is a top-tier power in the Jianghu; even the Great Li court must treat it as an equal. Naturally, we must continue to stay."

"Furthermore, your and my all one's martial arts and sword techniques rely entirely on the Sect's teaching and cultivation. If you had even a shred of conscience, you would not ask such a question."

Hearing this, A Bin shrank his neck.

In his heart, he secretly criticized: Speaking so righteously, who was it before that said he wanted to Pan Sect, and even forbade me from leaking it outside?

However, A Bin naturally dared not say much on his lips; he pouted, slipped into an alleyway, and vanished from sight.

Li Musheng and Cang Cang Yin Yue returned to a secluded alley, boarded a carriage, and prepared to return to the Tianjin Guard's General Headquarters.

Cang Cang Yin Yue held the Dragon-Subduing Divine Sword, which was entirely like emerald green jade, sitting opposite Li Musheng.

She opened her mouth several times, but did not know what to say.

Li Musheng looked at her, waved his hand, and said:

"You may keep this Dragon-Subduing Divine Sword; if anyone asks, just say I gave it to you."

Speaking, he raised his eyebrows slightly; this journey had yielded no small gain.

But the thing called the Dragon-Controlling Divine Sword would very likely bring some trouble in the future.

Of course, Li Musheng did not care about this at all.

Indeed, even if Bu Chengyang and the other two spread news of the Azure Dragon Cangming Scripture and the Azure Dragon True Qi, he would not mind.
