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

"Greetings, Commander..."

Li Xuancang's tall figure appeared in the blink of an eye, followed by the Ouyang brothers and Zhang Tianlong.

The soldiers knelt down and saluted, their eyes filled with fervor.

As long as Li Xuancang was there, they had nothing to fear.

Upon seeing Zhang Tianlong and the other two beside Li Xuancang, the people from the Hundred Herbs Sect changed their expressions drastically and stared intently at the three.

The three of them also looked at the Hundred Herbs Sect members, their eyes filled with killing intent and hatred, ready to devour anyone they could.

The old man Xuanku steadied himself and bowed to Li Xuancang.

"General, I am Xuan Ku, an elder of the Hundred Herbs Sect. These three people beside you are traitors to my Hundred Herbs Sect. Please hand them over to me. The Hundred Herbs Sect will be eternally grateful."

From the oppressive aura released by Li Xuancang, Elder Xuanku knew that this was no ordinary person.

He was not good at fighting and could not take the person away from Li Xuancang by force. He could only introduce himself and try to intimidate Li Xuancang with the reputation of the Hundred Herbs Sect so that he would not meddle in other people's business.

The three Zhang brothers were tense and uneasy.

If Li Xuancang really hands them over, the three of them will be unable to resist.

"Yeah?"

Li Xuancang's mocking voice rang out, "How will you express your gratitude to this general?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Xuanku and the members of the Hundred Herbs Sect were overjoyed.

The Hundred Herbs Sect is a large and powerful organization, and they are not afraid of Li Xuancang making exorbitant demands. As long as Li Xuancang asks, they can satisfy him.

Li Xuancang's words made Zhang Tianlong and the other two's hearts leap into their throats, their faces turning deathly pale.

"General, if you hand over the three of them to me, I am willing to offer you three low-grade Earth-level pills."

Old Man Xuanku gritted his teeth, preparing for a massive hemorrhage.

Three low-grade earth-level pills are priceless, but compared to the Human Pill, they are insignificant.

Li Xuancang smiled slightly, and Elder Xuanku thought he had already agreed.

Unexpectedly, Li Xuancang's cold voice rang out.

"If I kill you, won't everything on you be mine? Using my things to thank me, you really are cunning."

Li Xuancang's words froze the smiles of everyone in the Hundred Herbs Sect, and some of them didn't even react yet.

What does it mean that what is his own already belongs to Li Xuancang?

"call out!"

Li Xuancang moved and vanished from his spot in an instant.

"Everyone be careful."

Upon seeing this, the members of the Hundred Herbs Sect were terrified and became extremely vigilant.

When Li Xuancang reappeared, he was already in front of Elder Xuanku.

The old man Xuanku's pupils dilated violently, his face contorted, and his soul felt as if it were about to explode.

Faced with imminent danger, Elder Xuanku unleashed a powerful palm strike.

Li Xuancang neither dodged nor avoided, but stretched out his large hand.

"Bang!"

The old man Xuanku struck Li Xuancang with all his might, as if he had hit an iron plate.

Li Xuancang remained unmoved, but a counterforce rebounded from him.

With a "crack," the old man Xuanku's arm broke on the spot.

A sharp pain shot through him, and the old man Xuanku's expression turned one of agony.

Just as he was about to scream, Li Xuancang grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up.

"Uh, uh..."

The old man Xuanku's scream was stuck in his throat and could not be uttered.

Li Xuancang's arm emitted a shimmering, precious light, sealing off the power of the old man Xuanku. No matter how much he struggled, it was to no avail.

The old man Xuanku was an alchemist, not good at fighting, and his cultivation was almost entirely built up from the accumulation of pills.

If dealing with someone at the Qi Condensation Realm, the overwhelming difference in cultivation level would make them invincible.

But when facing Li Xuancang, he didn't even have a chance to resist.

"So weak!"

The old man Xuanku was the weakest Tongxuan Realm cultivator Li Xuancang had ever encountered; he was utterly vulnerable.

"You audacious madman, release Elder Xuanku at once!"

"Kill him and rescue the elder."

"Let's all attack together."

"..."

At this moment, the people of the Hundred Herbs Sect disregarded their fear and rushed forward to save Elder Xuanku.

Li Xuancang remained still, gently pushing off the ground with his right foot, and a terrifying shockwave spread forward.

"puff!"

"what!"

"Well!"

"..."

After the attack, all fourteen Qi Refining Realm experts coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground, struggling incessantly but unable to stand up.

"Is this the extent of Lord Li's power?"

Zhang Tianlong and the other two were dumbfounded, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets, their mouths agape.

They had been on the run for many years and had seen some people at the Tongxuan realm, but they had never seen anyone as terrifying as Li Xuancang.

"Take them all."

At Li Xuancang's command, Ouyang De and the others rushed out and took control of the crowd.

"Hang them all on the city gates so that everyone knows what will happen if they dare to cause trouble in the military camp."

Li Xuancang coldly gave the order.

He loathed these beasts and showed them no mercy whatsoever.

"You, you..."

Old Man Xuanku tried to threaten him again, but Li Xuancang exerted a slight force.

"Snap!"

The old man withered and died, his head tilting to the side.

Li Xuancang found over a hundred mid-grade spirit stones, ten high-grade spirit stones, and more than a dozen pills on his person.

"As expected of an alchemist, he is indeed very wealthy."

Everything that belonged to Elder Xuanku became Li Xuancang's spoils of war.

Many spirit stones and pills were also found on the other members of the Hundred Herbs Sect.

Before long, more than a dozen people were all hung on the city wall, causing quite a stir.

"Another fool has dared to provoke the imperial court."

"Anyone who dares to cause trouble in Ganquan County deserves to die."

"Only Lord Li's swift and decisive actions can deter these arrogant and ignorant people."

"..."

The people were abuzz with discussion when they saw the corpses hanging on the city wall.

They didn't recognize these people as members of the renowned Hundred Herbs Sect; they only knew that these people had offended Li Xuancang and deserved to die.

"This, this is someone from the Hundred Herbs Sect."

"Heavens! That was Elder Xuanku, an elder of the Hundred Herbs Sect, a Transcendent Realm expert, who actually died tragically in Ganquan County."

"Something terrible is about to happen. Something terrible is about to happen."

"..."

When someone recognized the identities of the Hundred Herbs Sect members and Elder Xuanku, they were struck dumb, their expressions changed drastically, their bodies went limp, and they almost fell to the ground.

"Li Xuancang even dared to kill an elder of the Hundred Herbs Sect. Is he truly fearless?"

How can someone be so audacious?

"The Hundred Herbs Sect is powerful and vengeful. Isn't Li Xuancang afraid of their retaliation?"

"..."

Everyone was horrified, but at the same time gained a deeper understanding of Li Xuancang's courage.

This person is a madman who has no taboos and no fear.

First it was the Xuantian Sect, and now it's the Baicao Sect. It seems he doesn't know what fear is.

The news spread like wildfire, and those who heard it were deeply shocked.

"Li Xuancang is too young; a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger."

"Li Xuancang's actions will surely bring about a great disaster."

"Just wait! The Hundred Herbs Sect will definitely make Li Xuancang pay the price."

"..."

Many factions, eager to see a good show, prepared to watch the Hundred Herbs Sect retaliate against Li Xuancang.

"What exactly is Li Xuancang doing?"

"Doesn't he think the Great Yan Dynasty is chaotic enough already?"

"This move only makes matters worse for the Great Yan!"

"..."

When the imperial court learned of the news, the emperor and his officials were furious.

The Great Yan was already in a difficult situation, and Li Xuancang's offense against the Hundred Herbs Sect would only cause the Great Yan to collapse.
