The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan paused, but his expression remained unchanged as he continued walking towards Guo Qingyuan, his murderous intent undiminished.

Seeing that it had been useful, Guo Qingyuan quickly dropped another bombshell:

"Please, messenger, don't kill me. I'm still useful. I can persuade my father to stop joining your faction."

Moreover... I also have numerous elixirs, medicinal herbs, gold, and agate...

Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan seemed to be convinced and quietly observed Guo Qingyuan, who was weeping uncontrollably.

It seems... a follower who can provide resources to Li Qingshan has a valid reason to live?!

However, Li Qingshan's words remained cold, even sending a chill down the spines of Guo Qingyuan, who was kneeling on the ground, and everyone else.

"not enough!"

"This... I'd give up everything I own just to save my life..."

Guo Qingyuan quickly replied.

For someone like him, the pleasures he can enjoy after acquiring a large amount of resources are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

For this reason, his hope of survival was far greater than that of ordinary people.

"Everything... fine, then I'll spare your life."

Li Qingshan chuckled as if he had thought of something, and said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Guo Qingyuan's trembling body instantly relaxed, collapsing completely like a lump of soft mud.

However, Li Qingshan's next words struck him like a thunderbolt.

"But I can't rest easy letting you go like this. In that case, let's ask the Silent Mother to step in."

As Li Qingshan spoke, his fingers instantly formed a hand seal, which was the White Lotus Hand Seal of the White Lotus Pure World Sect!

"The white lotus descends to earth, cleansing all the filth of the world..."

Li Qingshan uttered strange scriptures, which seemed to resonate in some inexplicable way with the handkerchief.

The next moment, Li Qingyuan, who was looking on with suspicion, was struck dumb.

Because suddenly a deep, powerful voice, containing a special kind of power, rang in his ears.

"The White Lotus descends to earth, and the contract is formed. From this day forward, Guo Qingyuan is a follower of Li Qingshan's envoy. If he harbors evil intentions, he will surely die without a burial place, and his soul will never find peace after death."

……

Li Qingshan left, taking away not only a large amount of resources but also leaving behind a hidden trap for himself.

Qianqian, the sword spirit of the Nine Yang Sword, was hovering around Guo Qingyuan, occasionally reciting a few strange scriptures.

And just now, with Qianqian's power.

Guo Qingyuan, this second-generation grandmaster, was currently looking around suspiciously, occasionally probing with his words:

"A white lotus descends to earth?!"

"God bless our religion?!"

However, Qianqian completely ignored him and instead took advantage of the gap to look around at the surrounding environment, clearly quite fond of this villa.

After testing the waters, Guo Qingyuan finally resigned himself to his fate.

He slumped to the ground, facing a pool of blood, a half-smile playing on his lips as he roared inwardly.

"Originally, I thought that taking Li Qingshan in as a dog would be an easy thing, but I didn't expect things to be so much more complicated than I imagined."

This guy not only received the blessing of the Eternal Mother, but also possessed all sorts of demonic arts. I'm afraid I'll never be able to turn my life around again...

Thinking this through, Guo Qingyuan seemed resigned to his fate and waved his hand, ordering his men to deal with the bloodstains.

After all, he needed to stay in this villa for a while, and naturally he wouldn't allow this bloodstain to continue to defile his eyes.

As for the deaths of those subordinates?

For Guo Qingyuan, it was nothing more than the death of a few dogs; he could simply train a few more later.

However... Li Qingshan is making Guo Qingyuan extremely uncomfortable right now.

"Li Qingshan, Li Qingshan, did you truly obtain the 'White Lotus Manual'?!"

"And have I truly been cursed by the Eternal Mother?"

After a long while, the calculating look in Guo Qingyuan's eyes lessened somewhat. With a sigh, he returned to his room and began cultivating.

Whether or not Li Qingshan cursed him, all that can be done now is to wait.

Only by waiting can he know what situation he is in.

As for resistance?!

People of Guo Qingyuan's high position and power would never risk their lives.

……

Walking on the stone path under the cover of night, Li Qingshan's face remained expressionless, but his mind was already racing.

"Hehe, what a pity, I didn't kill Guo Qingyuan directly... If it weren't for his noble status, he would have been a dead man by my sword long ago."

Yes!

In a fit of extreme rage, Li Qingshan was prepared to kill Guo Qingyuan outright.

At worst, he could simply leave Tiantong Academy and head north, hoping Liu Ruyan would intervene and protect him.

However, when he returned to normal immediately after the actual battle ended, he realized how naive and ridiculous his thoughts had been.

Guo Qingyuan, as a second-generation master, has a special role to play and cannot be killed now.

"We need to get the Nine-Bend White Deer Ginseng as soon as possible. It's a pity that that vixen Qiu Meier has been staying in the young lady's mansion all along, and it's even very likely that she has already successfully dug the secret passage."

If I return again, it will inevitably arouse suspicion... and I will very likely be caught and subjected to another White Lotus Rebellion.

Li Qingshan walked along the road, his thoughts racing, and his sense of urgency intensified.

At the very least, his cultivation level should have broken through to the late stage of True Qi or even the peak of True Qi when he returns to the Marquis's residence.

Only in this way can we deal with the Purification Sect, the First Madam of the Marquis's Mansion, and the Marquis himself.

……

The words are divided into two parts.

Shuiyun Pavilion.

After a long day of hard work, Wu Ziming stretched and a crackling sound came from his muscles and bones.

"Hahaha, the cultivation techniques taught by the senior are truly profound. I have only cultivated for a little while, yet I have been able to make my body so powerful."

"If I had enough time, I could probably become a true Qi Realm expert, or even a steward in the Marquis's mansion."

Thinking of this, Wu Ziming's face began to light up with excitement, as if a bright future was beckoning him.

However, as if he had thought of something, Wu Ziming sighed helplessly.

"Practicing martial arts is good, but it requires a lot of resources. Without the support of meat and the help of medicinal herbs, I'm afraid if I continue to practice, I might damage my vital essence."

Just as Wu Ziming was racking his brains about how to acquire resources, a sneaky-looking man pushed open the back door of Shuiyun Pavilion.

The newcomer was none other than Liu San, who had helped Li Qingshan some time ago.

However, Liu San was clutching his arm and hunched over, clearly having suffered some kind of attack and sustained a permanent injury.

Squeak!

As the wooden door opened, Wu Ziming and Xiao Dongshan, who were hiding in the shadows, looked over directly, their eyes flashing with cold light.
