The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

Xiao Dongshan's pupils shrank, his heart filled with horror, but he remained calm on the surface, waving his hand as if to say something relaxed and casual.

"Holy Maiden, please stop trying to scare me. I have already joined the White Lotus Pure World Sect, how could I possibly lose my life for no reason?"

Qiu Meier moved closer to Xiao Dongshan, and the intense fragrance of roses emanating from her body rushed towards his chest.

Qiu Meier's words made Xiao Dongshan's breathing quicken, and his heartbeat became uncontrollable.

"Heh, why would I lie to the Marquis? That day, the spear and the blade were already on their way. If we don't retreat soon, I'm afraid the Marquis and I will both become the enemy's spoils of war!"

Heavenly spear and earthly blade?!

Xiao Dongshan, who had been sitting calmly in his chair, jumped up instantly upon hearing those two names, staring at Qiu Meier in shock.

Then, looking anxious, he said:

"I didn't expect it to be those two old bastards! Let's get out of here! We can still escape now; we absolutely cannot fall into their hands!"

However, when Qiu Meier heard this, she remained lying on her side on the bed, turning her hair with her fingers as she spoke with a hint of sorrow.

"I also want to leave, but unfortunately I have received news of the Nine-Bend White Deer Ginseng, making it really difficult for me to leave."

If Your Excellency could help me, I would be eternally grateful and would certainly repay you with my own body, never breaking my promise!

As Qiu Meier spoke, she looked at Xiao Dongshan with a seductive expression, seemingly ready to appear for the sake of the White Lotus Pure World Sect.

However, all she received in response was Xiao Dongshan's wary expression and his slight retreat.

"Hehe, don't test me anymore, you leftover woman. You still have a chance if you leave now. Don't waste your time. Besides, I have already lost everything. What can I do to help you, Holy Maiden?"

Or does the Holy Maiden require me to ambush the Heavenly Spear and Earthly Blade? If so, I shall take my leave.

Qiu Meier covered her mouth and chuckled:

"No need for such trouble. All you need to do is have your eldest daughter trick Li Qingshan into leaving Tiantong Academy so he can come and see me."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Dongshan waved his hand dismissively and said casually.

"This is simple. I have a jade pendant that I keep close to my body. All I need to do is give it to your disciple, and I can get my eldest daughter to leave, or rather, trick Li Qingshan into leaving Tiantong Academy."

As he spoke, Xiao Dongshan tossed a jade pendant that he always wore at his waist to Qiu Meier.

After receiving the jade pendant, Xiao Dongshan examined it closely and asked his question.

"You don't necessarily think it was the Nine-Bend White Deer Ginseng that Li Qingshan took, do you? Absolutely not."

The location where this item is kept is a closely guarded secret, known to no one whatsoever. Moreover, Li Qingshan is merely a servant; what merit or ability does he possess to obtain such a thing?

Qiu Meier smiled without saying a word, tossed the token to the maid beside her, and instructed her to make the arrangements before continuing her chat with Xiao Dongshan.

However, the two were very cunning, and every sentence contained a different trap. Before long, their conversation even seemed to have turned into a real argument.

However, neither of them turned against each other; instead, they remained in this strange state, which was quite peculiar!

……

Just as Qiu Meier, the holy maiden of the White Lotus Sect in the capital, was trying to trick Li Qingshan into leaving Tiantong Academy.

A middle-aged man with a long spear on his back, a rugged face, and a faint sadness in his eyes was running wildly across the wilderness, step by step, treetop by treetop.

Beside him was a short, thin boy with a scabbard hanging from his waist and nothing else on his person.

The two used their lightness skills to run wildly through the bamboo forest at an incredible speed, yet their words were carried by the wind to their surroundings.

"Hey, Sky Spear, slow down! Wait for me! If you hadn't come up with your hand shadow and fought with me, how could those two dragon-scaled horses have died?"

Why should you and I go through all this trouble, even resorting to physical force to get from the capital to Lin'an?

The short, skinny boy was Di Dao, and he was currently complaining impatiently to his companion.

The tall, thin man, however, kept his eyes straight ahead and said with an upright expression:

"The people of Lin'an are now living in dire straits, and those cults don't know how to exploit them."

"You don't think about such an important matter, but instead you think about those two dragon-scaled horses that died from exhaustion. I find that utterly despicable."

As he spoke, Tianqiang kept shaking his head, making his hairstyle on top of his head smoother.

Meanwhile, the man with the gun on the other side pursed his lips impatiently, then turned and ran towards the road ahead.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the two looked at the somewhat bustling city walls in the distance and the constant flow of farmers, and sighed with emotion.

"I originally thought that Lin'an City was extremely luxurious, but I didn't expect it to be nothing special."

As Di Qiang spoke, he slowly stepped into the courtyard.

Yes, the two were just outside the city wall, but in the blink of an eye, they found themselves in a farmhouse.

There was a woman in the courtyard washing the scraps of cloth in her hands. When she saw the Heavenly Spear and Earthly Blade appear, she was stunned.

After all, the woman hadn't heard any footsteps just now.

"Who are you?! How dare you climb over my wall! Do you even know where I work? Get out of here! Or I'll smash your head open with a laundry stick!"

Upon hearing this, the Sky Spear, who considered himself somewhat elegant, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Meanwhile, the man with the earth knife tossed a silver ingot at the woman's feet and asked in a cold voice.

"Where is the Changning Marquis's residence located?!"

The woman bit the silver in her hand while pointing in the direction of the Marquis's mansion.

With a cold snort, Tianqiang and Didao glanced at the pedantic peasant woman before rushing towards the Changning Marquis's residence.

The path beneath their feet seemed to shrink infinitely, and with each step, they were already several feet away.

The weapons they carried on their backs remained unmoved, as if everything that had just happened was nothing but an illusion.

At that moment, Di Dao, who had just approached the Changning Marquis's residence, suddenly reached out and blocked the advance of Tian Qiang.

"Wait, something's not right here. Could it be that these demons are still inside the Marquis of Changning's residence and haven't left?"

"I'm investigating," Di Dao said as he went.

Meanwhile, Tianqiang pushed Didao aside and strode into the Changning Marquis's residence, his face showing a hint of disdain as he casually spoke.

"So what if these demons stay in the Marquis's mansion? We can just kill them at will."

Most importantly, the two of us are here today to find the Nine-Bend White Deer Ginseng. Let's kill those two demons first, and then we can discuss anything else.

With a reply, Heavenly Spear and Earthly Blade stepped into the Changning Marquis's residence at the same time.

Strangely, the two entered without any hindrance.

Just as Tianqiang was puzzled and turned to ask Didao next to him, a flash of sword light appeared.

brush!

This sword strike was so fast that ordinary people couldn't react at all.
