The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

After briefly sensing his current physical state, Li Qingshan shook his head slightly.

"A mysterious toxin has invaded my whole body, and I estimate it will take at least half an hour to recover."

Unless you can withstand my presence, or you can't leave this place anytime soon.

Li Qingshan looked at his savior with a smile and said.

Xiao Ruoxue rolled her eyes at Li Qingshan, annoyed, and said while exploring her surroundings:

"I also want to carry you away from here, but unfortunately I have lost all my cultivation. Let alone taking you away, I can't even safely get out of a secret room."

Li Qingshan grasped the key point in Xiao Ruoxue's words and suddenly asked:

"You didn't plan this all along before saving me?!"

Xiao Ruoxue looked around as she replied:

"Of course it wasn't premeditated. That vixen Qiu Meier wouldn't give me a chance."

As her slave to the Yin energy cauldron, everything I did was under her watchful eye; how could I possibly have time to look at this secret chamber?

After a pause, Xiao Ruoxue squatted down beside Li Qingshan and said helplessly:

"If I hadn't discovered this secret room by chance, I wouldn't even know how to save you."

Li Qingshan, do you know how much Qiu Meier values ​​you? She actually activated the White Lotus Purification Ritual, a blessing ritual that only the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters of the Purification Sect can use!

bless??

Interested?!

Li Qingshan genuinely hoped that Qiu Meier wouldn't value herself so much.

Moreover, this cult's methods are too bizarre; they can forcibly change a person's mind by reciting a few words or smelling some incense.

If he hadn't experienced it firsthand, Li Qingshan would have genuinely thought such a thing was utterly absurd.

"So what do we do next? We can't just sit here and wait to die, can we?"

Those Pure World Cult members up there won't wait long for us; I reckon Qiu Meier is about to go crazy.

If we get caught, we'll probably be chopped into minced meat; it'll be a gruesome sight.

Xiao Ruoxue didn't reply. Instead, she got up and stepped on the dirt on the ground. As if she had discovered something, she started knocking on the wall.

Seeing this, Li Qingshan didn't disturb him and continued to circulate the "Nine Revolutions Return to Origin Technique," trying to regain some of his mobility.

The Purification Sect, for some reason, was able to directly disable Li Qingshan's mobility, yet Qiu Meier remained completely unaffected.

"it works!"

Li Qingshan exclaimed in delight.

After leaving the smoke, the true energy in his dantian surged out and began to cleanse the other meridians, giving him a slight ability to move.

Then, Li Qingshan, whose five senses had been enhanced, instantly heard a noise above his head.

"Smash it! Break open this secret room no matter what, find the person alive or dead!"

"Li Qingshan, you and that bitch won't escape my grasp. Once I bring you back, I'll torture you mercilessly and show you what the glory of the Divine Cult truly means!"

"You bunch of useless trash! What do you mean this rock is too hard? If you can't cut it, let me do it!"

……

With a roar, Li Qingshan opened his eyes again and was able to move his hands again.

"Master, good news. I just listened for a while, and Qiu Meier said that the mechanism on your head is particularly ingenious. It can only be opened from the inside, and it is very difficult to break it from the outside."

So she prepared to surround you, Master, and tried to pour sleeping gas into the ventilated area.

Qianqian flew down and said with a look of lingering fear.

Just now, Qianqian noticed that something was wrong with Li Qingshan, but no matter how she called out to him, he did not respond.

So, Qianqian started asking around right next to Qiu Meier.

After a moment's thought, Li Qingshan understood the key to it:

"I see... It seems this secret room has a significant history. It is very likely an escape route used by the Marquis's mansion, or another place used to hide valuable treasures."

Otherwise, even Xiao Ruoxue should have known of this place's existence, and Qiu Meier was able to break through it with brute force.

Li Qingshan was no longer worried, so he began to gather his inner energy and continuously stimulate the medicinal effects on his body.

However, he did not notice that Xiao Ruoxue had disappeared into the cave at some point, as if she had never existed. Only vast amounts of darkness were swallowing up everything around her.

Half an hour later.

"break!"

Li Qingshan uttered a single word, "broken," and all the medicinal effects on his body were completely washed away.

To his surprise, his body seemed to receive some kind of reward; not only did his blood and qi surge continuously, but his physical body also experienced a slight increase in size.

As Li Qingshan stood up, he asked Qianqian:

"Have you seen Xiao Ruoxue? She was secretly typing answers around here just now, but somehow she disappeared."

Even using my mental powers, I couldn't sense her presence; it's very likely she's in danger.

Qianqian nodded and darted into the darkness.

Taking advantage of this lull, Li Qingshan began searching for torches or fire pits or similar objects that could provide light.

You know what?

He found a large pile of torches at his feet.

Li Qingshan picked up a handful of them and squeezed them, noticing some differences.

The surface was layered with beeswax, so there was no need to worry about being enveloped by the moisture inside the cave.

Then, he used his true energy to ignite the torch, illuminating the surrounding area.

However, as the torchlight illuminated the scene, Li Qingshan instantly sensed that something was amiss.

On the mountain wall to his left, there was an extremely deep fist mark, while on the rock wall to his right, there was a broken sword stuck in it.

As Li Qingshan continued to observe, more and more traces of martial arts practice appeared before him.

This includes palm techniques, sword techniques, and fist techniques. It is worth mentioning that...

Li Qingshan also tried to leave marks on the stone wall with his fist, but unfortunately, with his current strength, he could only leave a thin palm print, nothing else.

"It seems that this is the secluded training ground of some powerful figure, and it is very likely that it is a very strong figure in the Marquis's mansion. Could it be that there are other powerful figures in the Marquis's mansion that I have not yet known about?"

"But why hasn't that powerful figure appeared yet, even though Marquis Changning has already been defeated?"

With these questions in mind, Li Qingshan drove deeper into the cave, after all, Qiu Meier was still above him.

In a short time, Li Qingshan would definitely not be a match for this demoness, so let's see if there are any other ways to survive.

Before they even reached the depths of the cave, Qianqian hurriedly flew back, incoherently shouting:

"Master, something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened! This cave is actually Xiao Dongshan's secluded cultivation place."

Just now I saw Xiao Ruoxue pull a sword out of the cliff next to us, and open a box from the corner. Inside... inside it was full of...
