The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

"Damn it, why hasn't that assassin made a move yet?!"

Manager Qin was pacing back and forth in his room.

His heart was breaking, his face was contorted in agony, and bloodshot spots were constantly appearing in his eyes.

Compared to its appearance during the day, it is simply breathtaking.

Li Qingshan did not choose to kill Manager Qin at this moment; instead, he wanted to see what this guy was up to.

Moreover, the "Purifying the World White Lotus Mantra" that he practiced also came from the Purifying the World Sect.

While the sect's methods of practice are powerful, this does not change the fact that it is essentially a cult.

"No, we can't go on like this. The assassin might have run into trouble. It would be better to let the Water Snake Gang take action."

"I might as well cause a conflict and hack Li Qingshan to death with a flurry of blows. Then the bottle of blood pills he carries can be mine."

Manager Qin was still whispering to himself, seemingly increasingly agitated and impatient due to the side effects of the elixir.

Blood Pill?!

Li Qingshan raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected that the trigger for all of this would be the bottle of foul-smelling pills that Chen Liang had bribed him with.

He'd been keeping that pill hidden away in a corner.

It seems we should find an opportunity to get rid of this blood pill.

Who knows if I'll turn into this kind of grotesque thing if I keep smelling this stuff on the side?

But what exactly is the Water Snake Gang?

Could it be a gang in Lin'an City?

Li Qingshan had known before that there were many gangs, large and small, in Lin'an City.

Many poor families even rely on these gangs for a living.

Before he sold himself into the Marquis's mansion, he had considered joining a gang.

Unfortunately, he was neither strong nor capable of committing crimes like the gang members, so he did not pass the selection.

"Forget it, why think so much? Let's just take down Qin Ligong, and I'll get all the information I need!"

Just as Qin Ligong was becoming increasingly anxious and impatient, even wanting to sample another Blood Pill...

A figure appeared behind him in an instant.

Click click click!

The sound of bones snapping and dislocating instantly filled the entire room. Li Qingshan's technique was clean and efficient, without any hesitation.

Qin Ligong, who was originally anxious and impatient, now had his jaw dislocated.

His hands and feet were also dislocated, and he lay paralyzed on the ground like a lump of mud, unable to move.

Only his bloodshot eyes revealed the immense pain he was enduring as his bones deformed.

"Manager Qin, how have you been? Didn't you say before that you were going to join forces to rob the Marquis's mansion? Why are you now targeting me, Li?"

Li Qingshan casually sat down in the chair and said with a smile.

He could sense the abyss-like malice emanating from Qin Ligong in front of him. It was no exaggeration to say that this was the person Li Qingshan had met who hated him the most recently.

"Alright, stop staring at me like that. Since you've chosen to hire a hitman, you should be prepared to fail."

"But I'm curious, doesn't your cult have a complete reward system? Why are you fixated on my few bottles of blood pills?"

A few bottles of Blood Pills?!

Upon hearing this, Qin Ligong, who had previously harbored much malice towards Li Qingshan, instantly transformed the resentment in his eyes into an even more greedy look.

Even his body was constantly twisting and turning, as if he wanted to get those few bottles of blood pills.

"This guy must really be controlled by that blood pill, it's even become a conditioned reflex. When I told him I had a few bottles of blood pills, he didn't even bother to check if they were real or fake."

Li Qingshan thought to himself.

However, he didn't dwell on it too much; instead, he patiently guided her:

"Next, I'll loosen your jaw. If you give me satisfactory answers, those bottles of blood pills are all yours."

As Li Qingshan spoke, seeing the greedy look on the other person's face and the desire for the Blood Pill in his mind, he secretly nodded.

Click click click!

With a slight flick of his wrist, Li Qingshan helped Manager Qin put his dislocated jaw back into place.

But after Manager Qin returned to normal, instead of shouting, he pleaded with her.

"Manager Li, please have mercy and give me those Blood Pills. I'm willing to trade them for all the resources in Tianyi Pavilion!"

Li Qingshan didn't respond. Instead, he continued to play with the ornaments on the table. After a while, he slowly said:

Where is Chen Liang?

Qin Ligong replied without hesitation.

"Chen Liang is dead. He was killed by a young lady's bodyguard. He was beaten half to death on the spot and then dragged into a death row cell."

Li Qingshan nodded; this was largely consistent with the information he already knew.

Then he asked:

"Do you know the 'Purification White Lotus Mantra'?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ligong was slightly taken aback, and then immediately replied.

"I know, I know. This 'Purifying the World White Lotus Mantra' is a closely guarded secret within our divine sect. Only the holy sons and daughters and the sect leader can cultivate it."

Many people are now searching for the "Purifying White Lotus Mantra," which is said to be a necessary practice after breaking through to the Grandmaster level.

Lord Li, if you're willing to give me that bottle of Blood Pills, I will definitely help you find the "Purifying White Lotus Mantra"!

Qin Ligong hurriedly twisted his body, which was like mud, and tried his best to express his sincerity.

Breaking through to Grandmaster?!

Li Qingshan instantly understood its importance: the "Purifying White Lotus Mantra" allows a person to project their spirit outward, and this is very likely the key to breaking through the requirements of a Grandmaster.

However, that has little to do with me for the time being; I don't know how long it will take for me to break through.

"What was the identity of the old hag who fought with you at the Marquis's mansion that day?"

Li Qingshan asked slowly and deliberately.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ligong, who was still yearning for the Blood Pill, was instantly stunned. He trembled as if his deepest secret had been discovered.

"No, that's impossible. How did you know about the Dharma Protector?"

That day you clearly parted ways with us…

Seeing that Qin Ligong seemed to be losing control, and having obtained everything she wanted to know, she was finally able to get it.

Li Qingshan moved slightly and arrived at Qin Ligong's side.

click!

With a flash of true energy, Li Qingshan ended Qin Ligong's life.

Qin Ligong, the manager of Tianyi Pavilion, has logged off!

"Phew, how did this get involved with gangs again? And breaking through to a higher realm doesn't seem to be as I imagined, just about constantly accumulating true energy?!"

With many thoughts in his mind, Li Qingshan did not hesitate. Instead, he subtly moved towards the treasure vault of Tianyi Pavilion.

What he was playing with in his hand was the treasure vault key that Qin Ligong was hanging from his waist.

"Qin Ligong, oh Qin Ligong, I wonder what kind of surprise your Tianyi Pavilion will bring me?"

As Li Qingshan spoke, he arrived at the outside of a rockery.

Before he even got close, the pebbles in his hand were flicked out, making a series of booming sounds.

"not good!"
