The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

Not long after.

Old Zhou brought back both good news and bad news.

The good news is that the Prince of Qingyang is willing to exchange the tip of his sword for this fist technique.

The bad news is that the Prince of Qingyang wants to see Li Qingshan.

"Qingshan, what do you think?"

Old Zhou did not urge Li Qingshan, but simply asked for his thoughts.

After all, Li Qingshan is currently in the eye of the storm.

If the Prince of Qingyang is willing to exchange Li Qingshan's head for the Emperor's favor, then Li Qingshan will surely die today.

This is something that anyone can understand.

But Li Qingshan shook his head and smiled:

"What bad news is there? Isn't it all good news?"

With that, Li Qingshan followed Old Zhou toward the location of the Prince of Qingyang, concealing their tracks so that no one could see them along the way.

Not long after.

Li Qingshan felt as if he had stepped into an unusual garden, filled with a wild and untamed atmosphere.

Although torches burned brightly all around, the wild and untamed feeling emanating from the Sirius clan was extremely strong.

Whether it's the cow and sheep heads hanging around, or the various animal hides and pebbles placed on the ground, they all reveal their unique characteristics.

In the very center of this place sat a sprightly old man, his eyes gleaming as he scrutinized Li Qingshan.

Before he even got close, Li Qingshan heard his voice.

"How dare you! No wonder you are Li Qingshan, who can single-handedly venture into the ancient battlefield."

The Prince of Qingyang praised it.

Li Qingshan cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and said modestly:

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. I am unworthy of such praise."

However, Li Qingshan showed no fear on his face; instead, he remained composed and unhurried.

Because he knew that the seemingly vigorous Prince Qingyang in front of him was actually nearing the end of his life and would not live much longer.

The reason was simple: he could feel the sharp sword energy of the Nine Yang Sword eroding the life essence of the prince before him.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be that after this prince obtained the tip of the Nine Yang Sword, he attempted to refine and devour it.

Unfortunately, his physique was not special, and he was unable to awaken the remaining sword spirit within it. In fact, he suffered a backlash from the Nine Yang Sword, which is why things turned out this way.

Although there were several grandmasters in this courtyard, it was easy for Li Qingshan to leave.

Moreover, he also carried the stone bead bestowed upon him by Senior Dongxuan, which ensured his safety.

"Well done, Li Qingshan."

"If I were decades younger, I would certainly invite you to the border to serve the country and annihilate the Sirius clan."

"The Prince of Qingyang sighed."

Then, with a flick of his finger, he tossed a sword tip gleaming with cold light directly to Li Qingshan.

It was filled with both strong yang energy and yin energy, the two forces tearing at each other, yet seemingly achieving a faint balance.

Li Qingshan was not surprised by this. He unleashed his inner energy and firmly grasped the object in his hand.

"He really became a grandmaster? I thought the Fifth Elder was lying to me, but it turns out it's true. I never imagined there could be such a young and intelligent grandmaster in this world."

Tsk tsk tsk, not bad, not bad!

After a few sighs, the Prince of Qingyang seemed tired and waved his hand, indicating that Li Qingshan could leave.

Old Zhou, who had expected a fierce battle, left the place with Li Qingshan, completely bewildered.

The Prince of Qingyang was left alone, staring intently in the direction Li Qingshan had left.

"I never expected that this boy would inherit the Nine Yang Sword. I thought I would awaken the power of Yin and Yang between life and death."

Unexpectedly, fate plays tricks on us! Fate is truly cruel!

With a sigh, the Prince of Qingyang swallowed a pill and began to slowly heal the wound he had sustained from removing the sword tip.

A figure draped in black veil slowly appeared beside him, with a graceful figure but exuding extreme malice.

"Your Highness, should we take action to kill Li Qingshan and seize the Nine Yang Sword?"

Upon hearing this, the Prince of Qingyang didn't even open his eyes and said calmly.

"Foolish! This child possesses a special opportunity, belonging to the celestial beings. He must have found the legacy left by that ruthless empress in the ancient battlefield."

It's highly likely that the protector was involved; if he were to act today, the entire Qingyang Prince's Mansion would suffer.

After reprimanding his thoughtful subordinate, Prince Qingyang continued speaking at a leisurely pace.

"Besides, what good is the Nine Yang Sword? I can't refine it; it's just a piece of scrap metal in my hands."

But Li Qingshan is on good terms with my Qingyang Prince's Mansion. If anything goes wrong in the future, how could Li Qingshan possibly sit idly by and do nothing?"

……

Qianqian repeated every word the prince had said to Li Qingshan.

However, having already obtained the complete Nine Yang Sword, Qingshan had no time to pay attention to any of this.

Because, without knowing when, he suddenly felt the yang energy around his body churning and surging, like a great sun boiling and bubbling.

The Nine Revolutions Returning to Origin Force within his dantian was growing even faster under the support of this yang energy. His qi vibrated, and his meridians were faintly ringing and aching.

Qianqian then fluttered to the side, explaining the reasons clearly.

"Master, this is a reversal of yang energy, which is a good thing. It is cleansing your physical body."

"You are inherently of an extremely yang constitution. As long as you endure this, you will not only become physically stronger, but your cultivation level will also increase."

Seeing Li Qingshan wielding an axe and the Nine Yang Sword in both hands, his aura surging, Old Zhou did not interrupt him, but simply waited silently by his side.

After all, just a moment ago, even this veteran grandmaster had sensed a faint but not real threat.

It was as if, at this moment, if he made any rash move, he would perish completely.

Accompanied by the rolling of yang energy.

Originally, Li Qingshan's fair face gradually began to flush with red, making him look like a boiled shrimp.

Streams of hot sweat gushed from his pores, first as turbid air, then as the remaining true qi and internal energy in his body.

Finally, Old Zhou stood up and retreated out of the quiet room.

Because at this moment, Li Qingshan's body was bursting with bursts of qi.

It was incredibly sharp and contained a strong yang energy. Even when Old Zhou got close, he felt as if he were facing a furnace of burning iron.

"My goodness, what is this kid doing?"

When others find a treasure, they undergo a complete transformation, but why is he suddenly emitting heat from his body?

Could this be some kind of unorthodox method of cultivation?

Old Zhou found it somewhat unbelievable.

He then released his aura to calm the many approaching guards and bodyguards before continuing to protect Li Qingshan.

"Green Mountain, oh Green Mountain, don't let me down. With such a commotion, I hope nothing goes wrong."

In the end, Old Zhou, who was unbearably hot, simply sent people to the icehouse to move dozens of buckets of ice and place them around him, which made him a little more comfortable.
