My mission has only two outcomes: either I destroy Luoshen Peak, or I die there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Muxian’s expression changed—he had never heard Fu Qiwén speak like this before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man was resolved to die, determined to press forward with no retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without realizing it, the atmosphere had somehow suddenly ignited!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Muxian rubbed his chin and gestured for Fu Qiwén to sit, but the man shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have mountains of duties still pending. If Your Highness has questions, please state them directly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Li Muxian did not press him. After a moment’s thought, he asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Fu, aren’t you afraid of death?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qiwén’s expression remained calm, neither answering directly nor changing his tone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Highness may not know: in this position as Guard Commander of Tianjinwei, countless lives have ended by my hand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Among them were enemies, rivals, even loved ones and kin. Life and death, grudges and bonds—they’ve long since lost all meaning to me. I serve only Great Li, and do only what is right for Great Li.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for life and death, I have long since put them beyond concern.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, his gaze suddenly shifted, fixing on the handsome young prince before him, and he narrowed his eyes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, does Your Highness still intend to accompany me to Luoshen Peak?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Li Muxian waved his hand and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not going with you to Luoshen Peak.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, Fu Qiwén shook his head, as if not at all surprised by Li Muxian’s answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he himself was prepared to die for his cause—the danger was surely clear to the Eighth Prince before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the prince to now choose again as he had before was hardly wise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet at that moment, Li Muxian continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three days from now, I will set out on my own to Luoshen Peak. We shall meet there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he lifted his teacup and took a sip, then said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since Lord Fu is busy, you may go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qiwén frowned, studying Li Muxian deeply, yet asked nothing more. He bowed slightly and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He respected Li Muxian’s choice—whether the prince had some advantage or hidden motives, he did not know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the prince was willing to risk it, he had no reason to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Li Muxian watched Fu Qiwén’s back and suddenly asked without warning:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Fu, do you know that beyond the Heavenly Realm lies a state of martial transcendence?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Fu Qiwén paused slightly, then turned back to look at Li Muxian:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What does Your Highness mean? The Heavenly Realm is the pinnacle of martial cultivation—there is no such thing as transcendence beyond it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Muxian chuckled softly, said nothing more, and waved him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course—asking was pointless. This matter would ultimately rest on his own shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Headquarters of the Six Ministries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan Tianzhan, one of the Four Great Captains, sat behind his desk, slowly setting down the case file before him, while Guan Shansnow stood coldly before the desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How old are you now, still causing trouble like this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The day before yesterday you were carried into the Six Ministries and lay in bed all day, yet you still haven’t learned your lesson—today you were found unconscious outside the gates again. What have you been doing these past days?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan Tianzhan’s face was stern as he stared at his daughter, fury rising within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The day before, he had let her suffer a minor punishment from a powerful cultivator, thinking she’d learn restraint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today she had tangled herself in the Cangyuan Marquis Mansion case—he still didn’t know whether she had any involvement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet facing Guan Tianzhan’s questions, Guan Shansnow kept her pale, beautiful face rigid, her neck held high, silent and cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan Tianzhan sighed and asked in a low voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell me—what happened last night? What do you remember? Give me every detail.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cangyuan Marquis Mansion case was of great importance; the Six Ministries must question Guan Shansnow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since she was his daughter, he could not trust others to interrogate her—he had to do it himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan Shansnow looked reluctant, shooting him a glare, still resentful that he hadn’t unsealed her acupoints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet she had heard from other constables what had occurred at the Cangyuan Marquis Mansion, and knew the matter was grave, so she replied coldly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t remember much. I learned Cang Yin Yue was hiding in the Cangyuan Marquis Mansion, so I went to seek revenge—but I encountered Cang Yunning sneaking out of the mansion…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan Shansnow recounted what she knew, mentioning only briefly the hazy memories of events after she had awakened from Qianchi Baiyuan Powder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening, Guan Tianzhan frowned in thought and murmured:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So Cang Yin Yue must have been inside the Cangyuan Marquis Mansion last night as well. Could her actions be linked to the deaths of the Cang family?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Guan Shansnow frowned and snorted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That Cang Yin Yue went out once and somehow learned a set of acupoint-sealing techniques. I was sealed by her that day—I couldn’t move for a full day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, Guan Tianzhan’s gaze shifted sharply:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You sought revenge on Cang Yin Yue because of this? Are you certain she was the one who sealed your acupoints?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan Shansnow nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who else could it be? In that tavern room, besides her there was only a weakling with no martial skill—I was caught off guard and sealed by her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Guan Tianzhan shook his head, saying nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had seen Cang Yin Yue yesterday herself—she had captured four major fugitives and extracted information about Qingshan Tower from the Daqi remnants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a major achievement; he had considered promoting her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after checking her martial cultivation, he found she was only at the Half-Grandmaster level—below the threshold for promotion—so he set the matter aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had also examined the condition of Guan Shansnow’s sealed acupoints. He was certain: the one who sealed them possessed formidable martial strength—at least Grandmaster level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the person who sealed the acupoints was almost certainly not Cang Yin Yue, but someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell me about that young man who was with Cang Yin Yue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan Tianzhan asked, his gaze fixed on Guan Shansnow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan Shansnow frowned slightly, thinking, then said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He was quite handsome… hmm… he gave me a feeling of…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she hesitated, tapping her forehead—then suddenly her eyes widened:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait—I think I saw him inside the Cangyuan Marquis Mansion last night.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1101,"2026-06-20T01:43:38.503Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","5bd9fdf19f93f58294f7cb86384981a0de5d1685ecba37c9816ebe1200f49705","after-fifteen-years-of-secret-cultivation-i-star-chapter-76","after-fifteen-years-of-secret-cultivation-i-star-chapter-74",259,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-fifteen-years-of-secret-cultivation-i-star-cover.jpg"]
