My strength increases by one percent every day; I can destroy stars with my bare hands.

Outside Anzhou City, the Li family, exhausted from their overnight escape, only dared to stop and rest after realizing there was no danger behind them.

"Master Li, Madam Li, Lord Du has instructed me to escort you to the capital. The Du family will make proper arrangements."

Du Tianfeng had instructed that if anything happened in Anzhou City, Du Xiong should bring the Li family to the capital and make proper arrangements for them.

Upon hearing that they were to go to the capital, Li's parents were very puzzled.

"Lord Du, isn't my son in Liuyun County? Why doesn't he go there? Why is he heading to the capital instead?"

Mr. and Mrs. Li only want to see their son now and do not want to go to the capital.

Seeing the Li family's resistance, Du Xiong knew that they wouldn't leave with him unless he told them the truth.

"Master Li, Madam Li, a powerful demon has appeared in Liuyun County. Lord Du and Lord Li were fighting the demon and may have already met with misfortune. Anzhou is now surrounded by dangers, and we must leave as soon as possible."

Du Xiong knew that Du Tianfeng had gone to deal with the great demon, and that he and Li Xuancang had likely already died in battle.

We can't waste time going to Liuyun County now.

Once the Prince of Fu's army arrives and blocks the roads, they will truly be unable to leave.

"Buzz!"

Du Xiong's words made Li's parents feel dizzy and as if they were about to fall to the ground.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

"My son is very lucky and will definitely be alright."

The two could not accept this outcome; their son must live well.

"No, we're not going to the capital; we're going to Liuyun County."

The two elders lost control of their emotions, their eyes red and brimming with tears, wishing they could immediately go to Liuyun County to see Li Xuancang.

"Mr. Li, Madam Li, the situation is critical, we can't waste any more time!"

Du Xiong looked anxious and urged the two elders to leave quickly to avoid any further complications.

Even though he was at the Blood Condensation Realm, and the Li family members were powerless against him, he still dared not use force to forcibly lead everyone away.

"I won't leave. I will never leave until I see my son again."

Tears streamed down Li's mother's face, but her attitude remained resolute.

This scene left Du Xiong feeling helpless, unsure of what to do.

After a moment's thought, Du Xiong made a decision.

"Alright, let's head to Liuyun County now."

Du Xiong planned to go to Liuyun County to make the two elders give up completely, and then they could go to the capital with him.

They were not too far from Anzhou City at this time, and were still in danger.

The most urgent thing is to leave as soon as possible; even going to Liuyun County would be safer than staying here.

"Let's go, let's hurry."

Li's parents, disregarding their physical exhaustion, forced themselves to keep going, determined to reach Liuyun County as soon as possible.

Three days later, an astonishing tremor suddenly came from in front of them.

Du Xiong's expression changed drastically. He was often in the military and knew that such a tremor was caused by a large army marching.

"An army is approaching! Hide!"

Du Xiong suspected that the army of the Prince of Fu had already invaded Anzhou, so he hurriedly led everyone to hide on the small hills on both sides.

Everyone was on edge, barely daring to breathe, watching intently ahead.

"Bang, bang bang bang..."

Before long, the army slowly approached with orderly steps, a large black flag fluttering in the wind.

One side is tattooed with the character "安" (An), and the other side is engraved with the character "李" (Li), which is very eye-catching and can be clearly seen.

Du Xiong was startled when he saw the large banner, but when he saw the armor worn by the soldiers, he was overjoyed.

"It's Lord Li, it's Lord Li's army."

Du Xiong was extremely excited and stopped hiding, rushing out of the hill.

"Master Li, Master Li."

Du Xiong blocked the front of the army, looking excited and shouting.

Upon hearing the voice, Li Xuancang rode out from the army and immediately recognized Du Xiong.

"Lord Du, what are you doing here?"

Du Xiong was a member of Du Tianfeng's clan, and Li Xuancang was a trusted confidant whom Du Tianfeng had personally promoted, so the two were naturally familiar with each other.

"Lord Li, it really is you! Thank you, thank you so much!"

Seeing that Li Xuancang was safe and sound, Du Xiong felt the pressure in his heart immediately dissipate, as if he had found his pillar of support.

"Xuan Cang, Xuan Cang..."

Before Du Xiong could answer, Li's parents and eldest sister's family had already rushed over.

Even from a distance, they recognized Li Xuancang at a glance.

Upon seeing his family, Li Xuancang hurriedly dismounted and ran to them.

"Father, Mother, Eldest Sister, what's going on?"

The group looked dejected, covered in mud, and disheveled, like refugees fleeing a disaster, which made Li Xuancang's heart sink.

"My son is alright, my son is alright."

"May God protect my son and keep him safe and sound."

The two elders kept thanking Heaven, their eyes fixed on Li Xuancang, constantly checking to see if their son was injured.

"Lord Li, Anzhou City..."

Only then did Du Xiong have the opportunity to speak, recounting the changes in Anzhou City and his previous plans.

"Lord Li, it was my fault for not understanding the situation properly, which caused Master Li and Madam Li to worry. Please punish me, sir."

Du Xiong's face turned bright red, filled with shame.

He had previously told the Li family that Li Xuancang was very likely dead on the battlefield, but now Li Xuancang was standing alive in front of them, and he was ashamed to face them.

"I am deeply grateful to Lord Du for protecting my family. I cannot possibly blame you."

Li Xuancang showed no resentment whatsoever; in fact, he was filled with gratitude towards Du Xiong.

He has repeatedly opposed evil practitioners, and they will never let his family go.

If Du Xiong hadn't acted decisively and led the Li family to escape Anzhou City, their fate would have been unimaginable had they been captured by the evil cultivators.

The thought of this still fills Li Xuancang with lingering fear.

Du Xiong later wanted to take the Li family to the capital, which was also to protect the Li family. What was wrong with that?

Seeing that Li Xuancang did not blame him, Du Xiong wanted to inquire about Du Tianfeng's situation.

Before he could even ask, Li Xuancang spoke first.

"Captain Du is in the carriage behind. He is seriously injured, and we will have to trouble you to take care of him from now on."

Upon hearing that Du Tianfeng was still alive and in the army, Du Xiong beamed with joy, feeling a great weight lifted from his shoulders.

He rushed to the carriage where Du Tianfeng was to check on Du Tianfeng's injuries.

"Father, Mother, I'm going back to Anzhou City to quell the rebellion. You should come with me!"

Li Xuancang planned to bring his family with him to quell the rebellion in Anzhou City, so that he could feel at ease.

"Okay, we'll do whatever you say."

The two elders had no objections; as long as the family could be together, they were content.

"Let's keep going."

After this minor incident, the army continued its advance.

During the march, Li Xuancang came to discuss with Du Tianfeng how to deal with the upcoming situation.
