the shock caused the other four killers to fall simultaneously, followed by several “plop” sounds as they rolled into the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re all dead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuanling took a light breath, then fixed her blazing gaze on Li Muxian, exclaiming:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My wonderful elder brother, no wonder your martial cultivation is as high as a ten-story building—I was too narrow-minded.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Muxian chuckled softly, his eyes sweeping the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Wan’er and the other two women were locked in combat with the experts from Floating Boat City, but their martial strength was clearly superior—they moved with ease, and after only dozens of exchanges, they had already wounded many of their opponents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Han Meiyan and her companion were the same—though the Floating Boat City experts appeared evenly matched, trading blows back and forth, in truth they were all holding back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Zhang He, under attack from two killers, “struggled” to defend himself while retreating from the boat deck toward the underground palace platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, he feigned a misstep, taking a blade to the shoulder—his clothes tore and blood sprayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang He cried out in pain, barely managing to strike out with a palm to repel another expert rushing toward him, stumbled backward, and tumbled toward the water beneath the underground palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two experts showed no mercy; they seized the opportunity to kill, leaping into the water without hesitation to continue their pursuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zhang He quickly sank beneath the surface, diving deep into the underwater depths, while the two experts behind him relentlessly chased after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Muxian watched all of this, but merely narrowed his eyes and took no action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A metallic screech echoed from above the underground palace—a massive black vessel, suspended by chains, descended like a rolling cloud, halting midair and blotting out much of the candlelight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Wan’er and the other three women instinctively looked up, seeing only Tu Yao in a black robe standing at the vessel’s edge, gazing down with cold indifference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, all three women changed expression, unleashed a powerful strike to drive back their Floating Boat City opponents, and leapt from the wooden boat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their feet barely touched the water’s surface as if walking on solid ground, without the slightest hesitation—they transformed into three fleeting shadows, turning sharply to flee rapidly beyond the underground palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Meiyan on the other boat saw this, glanced sideways toward Li Muxian, and saw that all the experts around him were already dead—her pupils contracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without delay, she gave Li Muxian one deep look, then immediately struck back her current opponent and retreated swiftly in the opposite direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Floating Boat City experts naturally would not let them escape so easily—they all surged forward in pursuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the entire underground palace fell silent, leaving only Li Muxian and Li Yuanling still on the wooden boat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuanling glanced around, then looked upward at the massive black vessel hovering above the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the gravity of the situation, she leapt to Li Muxian’s side, grasped his sleeve with her slender hand, and shrank behind him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder brother, if you’re not planning to run, then from now on, I’m counting on you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the heavenly and earthly qi within the underground palace began to stir violently—shattered stones and dust trembled, the water’s surface rippled incessantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding subterranean space seemed enveloped by a powerful force, the air thick with suffocating pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Muxian raised an eyebrow, then pulled Li Yuanling’s hand away, disdainful:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little sister, you acting this timid now—if anyone sees you like this, they’ll think I’m weak!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He patted her back and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stand tall, lift your head, hold yourself straight—do you even remember who’s standing beside you? This is nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Li Yuanling pouted, took a deep breath, summoned the dignity of the Great Li Princess, stood upright beside Li Muxian, and feigned calmness as she gazed upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, on the black iron vessel, Tu Yao looked at the gray-robed elder Sheng Shi’an, who had just risen to his feet, his expression altered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you so grave, Elder Sheng?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Sheng Shi’an’s body trembled with chains of black iron, copper rings on his arms spun rapidly, martial qi from all directions surged like a furious flood, swallowing into him like a whale drinking the ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around him, several powerful qi vortices formed, causing his martial aura to ascend at an terrifying rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly lifted his head—his once dull eyes now glowed with crimson bloodlight; his withered, wrinkled face resembled a lava field of countless gullies, threads of scorching crimson qi flowing through his skin like molten lava.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When our men were killed just now, I still couldn’t see how the opponent moved.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Shi’an spoke suddenly, his voice hoarse, his face twisted, revealing an aura that sent chills through the soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at Tu Yao, whose expression shifted uneasily, and warned in a low tone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Be careful—that man is strong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had he spoken than he raised his hand—the copper rings binding his arms shot out, glowing emerald, as if tearing through space, crashing down toward the spot where Li Muxian stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, countless spinning rings accelerated, breaking the sound barrier, descending like a storm upon Li Muxian and Li Yuanling, their overwhelming qi thick and deadly, as if capable of crushing all things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a princess of Great Li, Li Yuanling had been doted on since childhood—she had never seen such a scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could already foresee those terrifying rings crushing her into pulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, a chilling dread crawled up her spine, and she cried out urgently:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder brother, won’t you act now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s just a small scene—don’t be afraid.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Muxian looked up at the black vessel hovering above the underground palace, his eyes narrowing slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the space around the wooden boat where he and Li Yuanling stood seemed to freeze solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once rapidly spinning rings—mere blurs a moment ago—came to a complete halt, suspended motionless above the boat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Li Yuanling, who had nearly closed her eyes in dread, let out a heavy sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the sensation of facing death had been too intense—she couldn’t help but pat her chest, still shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Muxian glanced sideways at her and smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little sister, you can trust my strength completely—if you can’t even trust my martial cultivation, honestly, I don’t know who else in this world you could possibly trust.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1103,"2026-06-20T01:43:38.503Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","7b5d6acbf2a2b4ac88a5f0d3be1c71b7ae1366df66a3c59d816b464fe4511885","after-fifteen-years-of-secret-cultivation-i-star-chapter-96","after-fifteen-years-of-secret-cultivation-i-star-chapter-94",259,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-fifteen-years-of-secret-cultivation-i-star-cover.jpg"]
