The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

Li Qingshan examined the stone bead and found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't damage it in the slightest.

Most importantly, he could sense a special aura contained within it.

Nodding, with Dongxuan's help, Li Qingshan felt a blur before his eyes, and the next moment he had disappeared from the battlefield.

"I hope this child will not disappoint me; this world should not be so peaceful."

Perhaps the Empress's choice was right; he really can rise to a higher position?!

Watching Li Qingshan walk away, Dongxuan felt a surge of turmoil in his heart, which then gradually subsided.

She turned to the other end with a blank expression, where many grandmasters were stationed.

Immediately, a familiar aura began to permeate the entrance to the battlefield.

Dongxuan clearly sensed that the newcomer was none other than the Celestial Being of the Great Qian Empire.

"What a coincidence! Could it be that Li Qingshan had already sensed something, which is why he left in such a hurry?"

Dongxuan frowned slightly, unable to help but think.

After all, some ancient books have recorded that those with great fortune can often turn misfortune into good fortune and avoid danger.

Could it be that Li Qingshan is not only exceptionally talented and blessed with good fortune, but also possesses this kind of ability?

Despite his various thoughts, Dongxuan still arrived at the entrance to the battlefield, drifting quietly like a wisp of smoke.

"Senior Dongxuan, I have come here today with a request."

The eunuch, dressed in a python robe, spoke in a soft voice, his face full of wrinkles.

Despite their affected manner, none of the surrounding masters showed any unusual reaction; they all kept their heads down and dared not breathe.

Because this eunuch was a celestial being.

"What is it?"

Dongxuan asked calmly.

"Our family wants to enter this battlefield to find someone."

This man is named Li Qingshan. He has stolen a priceless treasure from our Great Qian Empire. We implore you, senior, to grant us this favor.

As he spoke, the eunuch slowly handed a spirit pearl from his hand to Dongxuan.

Upon seeing this item, Dongxuan remained calm, but shook his head slightly.

"Li Qingshan did enter this ancient battlefield, but he has disappeared from this place."

As soon as he finished speaking, the spirit pearl in the eunuch's hand vanished.

"this……"

The eunuch, who was at the Celestial Realm, was taken aback, seemingly not expecting such an outcome. Then, with a pained expression, he pulled out another spirit pearl.

Despite the light illuminating the surroundings, he remained respectful and spoke.

"Then where is Li Qingshan now?"

The next moment, after the spirit pearl in the eunuch's hand dissipated, Dongxuan's figure also quietly disappeared.

"I don't know."

The aura of the eunuch at the Celestial Realm suddenly trembled. In an instant, many Grandmaster-level experts were shocked and knelt down, daring not to offer any resistance.

"Damn it!"

Seeing that he had been tricked, the eunuch clenched his fists tightly, hidden in his sleeves, his eyes filled with anger, but he did not lose his composure.

Immediately, the eunuch flicked his sleeve and returned directly to the camp behind him.

"Wait! I refuse to believe that there's no news of Li Qingshan after we entered this ancient battlefield!"

If our family ever finds this Green Mountain, we'll skin him alive!

As he spoke, the old eunuch disappeared into the crowd, leaving only a faint afterimage that was slowly fading away.

This is the power of a Celestial Being. When a Celestial Being is angry, corpses will lie scattered for miles. Even a Grandmaster at the peak of his level cannot frown upon it.

Of course, Li Qingshan, who had already arrived in the mountain valley, was unaware of all this.

Indeed, he was currently in a mountain valley, surrounded by lush trees, an environment far superior to that of the ancient battlefield.

However, before Li Qingshan could even admire the scenery, he vanished from the spot with a thought. Then, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard.

Two middle-aged men dressed as constables rode their horses, talking incessantly.

"Hey, brother, we're just unlucky to have such a boss. We even have to patrol the mountains in this sweltering heat."

"Who can argue with that? This is a royal garden; who would dare to commit crimes or cut down trees here under normal circumstances?"

Li Qingshan slowly appeared after the two had walked away.

He looked in the direction the two had come from, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

Then, Li Qingshan summoned Qianqian and had her sense the location of the sword tip within the imperial city.

After all, Li Qingshan hadn't forgotten his true purpose for coming here—the last fragment of the Nine Yang Sword.

Immediately, Li Qingshan concealed his aura and slowly headed out of the so-called royal garden.

Although he kept moving, Li Qingshan's thoughts never stopped.

"I suppose I'm already wanted by the Great Qian Dynasty. I do remember there's a method in the inheritance called the Disguise Technique, which is somewhat similar to the Forgery Technique I obtained before."

"It would be wise to change my clothes and disguise myself first before making any plans."

Li Qingshan moved with lightning speed, like a dragon amidst rolling clouds and mist. In less than half a day, he had already stepped into the foot of the Great Qian Imperial Mausoleum.

There happened to be a small mountain village here, with many people around, but they were all thin and pale, dressed in thin clothes, and looked like they were living a very difficult life.

Seeing this, Li Qingshan suddenly realized what was happening.

Having cultivated himself for many days, he had forgotten that the vast Great Qian royal family was actually on the verge of collapse.

On the surface, various miscellaneous taxes were levied continuously, while behind the scenes, officials and gentry further exploited and oppressed the people, causing them to be displaced, live in misery, and suffer greatly.

In fact, the Li family village where Qingshan was located was turned into a refugee village because the government's taxes were too high, and the entire village was desperate for food.

It's a pity that in the end only he and Li Hao survived, while the others turned into bones and were buried by the roadside.

With a frown, Li Qingshan quickly walked towards the nearest ditch in the field, where a man of similar stature was digging furrows.

Seeing Li Qingshan approach, the man gripped his hoe tightly and asked warily:

"Who are you?!"

Li Qingshan didn't reply much, but flicked his hand, and a wisp of true energy flashed by, instantly making the man feel a lightness in his hand.

Then, he stared in astonishment at the hoe that had crashed to the other side of the ridge. After a long while, he felt his legs go weak.

However, Li Qingshan did not make things difficult for the man.

"How about I buy some coarse cloth clothes from your household for five taels of silver?"

As he spoke, Li Qingshan crushed one of the silver ingots he had taken with him when he left Lin'an City into a silver cake and casually tossed it at the man's feet.

"Sir...sir, this is not possible. I will go back and get my clothes right away."

The weathered middle-aged man stammered as if he wanted to say something more, but Li Qingshan only responded with two words.

"Take it!"

Before long, Li Qingshan changed into a set of coarse cloth clothes that still looked somewhat new and slowly headed towards another place.
