The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

Whoosh!

A figure vanished in the blink of an eye beneath the city gates of Lin'an.

Even the many soldiers guarding the area didn't see it clearly; they only felt a gust of wind pass by. However, the people sitting next to the tea stall exchanged glances and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

"Just now, that person seemed to be the recently renowned Lord Li."

"That's right, it's Li Qingshan. I just don't know why he's running so fast; it looks like he's fleeing?"

"Quickly, report this matter to the head of the family."

Immediately, various pieces of information began to be passed around the entrance. After all, Li Qingshan was involved in a significant matter, and everyone had no choice but to report it.

just.

These so-called family heads or powerful figures were all baffled by this information and didn't quite understand why Li Qingshan had left.

"How strange. Could it be that Li Qingshan knows he slept with the Marquis's woman and will be arrested?"

A bald, burly man scratched his head, looking on with a puzzled expression.

"Could it be that another powerful figure within the imperial court has intervened? Or is there something we haven't yet discovered?"

A scholar was fanning himself with a feather fan, but his face was full of sorrow.

Only Old Zhou, who saw this information at the back mountain of Tiantong Academy, sighed softly.

Old Zhou, this long-lived man, instantly understood why Li Qingshan had made such rapid progress during this period, and also understood why the other party had made a hasty escape during this time.

"It seems that the Nine-Bend White Deer Ginseng has already fallen into Li Qingshan's hands."

No wonder he broke through so quickly, and no wonder he chose to leave Lin'an City at this time. It turns out that's the reason for everything.

With this thought in mind, the old man slowly stood up, dusted himself off, and looked in the direction where Li Qingshan had left.

The next moment, Old Zhou took a step forward and was already several feet away.

His speed continued to increase, and in the blink of an eye, he had disappeared from sight, leaving only a growing number of rumors throughout Lin'an City.

……

In a mountain valley.

Upon seeing Elder Zhou appear, Li Qingshan couldn't help but bow in respect.

"Greetings, Elder Zhou!"

Even so, Li Qingshan's heart clenched completely. He didn't understand whether it was someone from the imperial court who had arrived, or whether Old Zhou had guessed something.

"Qingshan, there's no need for such formalities."

Old Zhou smiled.

As he laughed, Old Zhou suddenly sighed.

"Li Qingshan, do you know? Your running away has affected far too many people."

Secondly, do you think that just because you've fled to the border, no one can deal with you?

At this point, Old Zhou said in a cold voice.

"Foolish!"

Upon seeing this, Li Qingshan instantly understood that Old Zhou had not come to stop him, but to find a way to save his life.

Li Qingshan knelt on one knee, cupped his hands in front of him, and quickly said.

"Please enlighten me, Mr. Zhou!"

Seeing that Li Qingshan had not been blinded by greed, Old Zhou's expression softened somewhat, and he offered some guidance.

"There is only one place in the whole world that can save you, and that is the ancient battlefield outside the capital."

The place is unpredictable and fraught with danger; even a grandmaster would face a near-death experience if he went in.

The only way to escape the person chasing you is to enter and gamble with your own luck. Otherwise, no one in this world can protect you; on the contrary, everyone wants to kill you and steal your treasure.

Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan felt that the clothes behind him were completely soaked with cold sweat.

He reached for the jade box behind him, ready to present it, but saw that Old Zhou had already disappeared before his eyes.

Only Zhou Lao's words still lingered in the wind, faintly spreading to the surroundings before slowly dissipating.

"Li Qingshan, you'd better watch yourself, but remember the promise you made to me."

"You must marry Liu Ruyan no matter what."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan felt as if he had suddenly realized something.

Although he didn't understand why he had to marry Liu Ruyan, he accepted the favor of Old Master Zhou saving him again today.

"Thank you, Elder Zhou. I will remember this. If I survive this ordeal, I will certainly fulfill all of Elder Zhou's arrangements."

After saying this, Li Qingshan bowed again and then ran wildly towards the ancient battlefield of the capital city that Old Zhou had pointed out.

At this moment, the only way to resolve the crisis was to run wildly; otherwise, he might die on the roadside at any moment.

A moment after Li Qingshan disappeared, Old Zhou slowly emerged from the shadows and looked at Li Qingshan with emotion.

"As everyone knows, it is easy to add flowers to brocade, but difficult to provide charcoal in the snow."

Li Qingshan, Li Qingshan, I've helped you in your time of need this time; please don't forget my kindness.

After saying that, Old Zhou waved his hand slightly, and a strong wind suddenly arose, blowing the surrounding area upside down.

Not only did it blow away everything that had just happened, but it also mixed the smells in the air with an unpleasant odor.

……

Leave the valley.

Li Qingshan ran straight to a village gathering place and, with the money he had, quickly bought an old horse.

After feeding the old horse a ginseng root, Li Qingshan mounted it and continued galloping towards the ancient battlefield.

This old horse, which usually only eats a little bit of weeds, is already considered a rare source of fodder.

Having taken such a precious medicine today, the hair on the entire horse's body was standing on end.

Droplets of blood kept gushing out from its pores, and its speed was extremely fast, even comparable to Li Qingshan's frantic running just now.

The clatter of horses' hooves echoed through the surrounding valleys.

From afar, it appeared as a lone rider leaving all others in the dust, majestic and awe-inspiring, kicking up clouds of dust that grew larger and larger, eventually blotting out the sky.

"What a fine horse!"

If I survive this ordeal, I promise to treat you well in the future.

After another lash of the whip across the horse's rump, Li Qingshan laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.

He then began to circulate the Nine Revolutions Returning to Origin Technique within his body, using the frenzied catalyst and the medicinal power within him to restore his true energy.

With his other hand, he took out the map and book he had just bought at the market.

"There are still more than 300 miles of land left. When that time comes, I can step into that ancient battlefield and seek a glimmer of hope for my survival."

As he uttered those words, a golden light shone from Li Qingshan's entire body.

His gratitude towards Old Zhou grew even stronger.

While resupplying in that village, Li Qingshan had already done some calculations and realized that he would indeed die if he went to the border. Only the place indicated by Old Zhou was truly safe.

And just after Li Qingshan left Lin'an City.

An old man and a young man rode their horses slowly into the city, but as soon as they entered, the old man showed displeasure, followed by astonishment.

"Wait, why is the aura of this Nine-Bend White Deer Ginseng so strong? Could it be that someone took this with them and left this place not long ago?!"

Upon hearing this, the boy beside him instantly became alert.

"Master, shall we give chase?"

The old man shook his head and looked in the direction of Tiantong Academy.

"No rush, no one under heaven can escape!"
