I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 34 Return to Licheng
"what!"

Liu Qiaolian didn't expect that Xia Daoming would take the initiative to avenge her, and she was stunned for a moment.

"My slave, I thank you for your kindness, my slave..."

After a while, Liu Qiaolian suddenly turned over and dismounted, knelt on her knees, choked with sobs, and didn't know what words of gratitude to say.

"You silly woman, what are you doing? You are the master's Lian'er. I am your big enemy. I don't have the ability. Now that I have the ability, can I just ignore it?" Upon seeing this, Xia Daoming quickly dismounted and took Liu Qiaolian away. Lift him up and take him into his arms.

On this day, the two of them failed to reach the next market town before dark, so they had no choice but to spend the night in the wilderness.

That night, Liu Qiaolian took the initiative to ask Xia Daoming to play cards wildly.

It seemed that other than this way, Liu Qiaolian didn't know how to repay this man's kindness and express her deep feelings for him.

Another half month passed quickly.

In the past half month, Xia Daoming has obviously slowed down the purchase of new elixirs, focusing mainly on purchasing powerful medicines.

Because under normal circumstances, in more than ten days, they would reach Yuancang City, the capital of Mangzhou and the largest and most prosperous city in Mangzhou.

It is said that there are many martial arts masters in Yuancang City.

The medicinal materials and elixirs sold there are definitely not comparable to other cities.

Xia Daoming wants to save the money and plan to use it in Yuancang City.

On this day, the two of them were riding horses and standing on the top of a hill, overlooking the twists and turns of the road below. Groups of people were meandering forward like long snakes.

They were carrying large and small bags, supporting each other and moving forward. The sounds of children crying, adults shouting, horses neighing, and the wheels of carts came and went.

A scene of escape.

"Master, something is wrong. Logically speaking, the closer to the city, the denser the population, and the fewer refugees.

But in recent days, a large number of fields have been abandoned in the places we passed, many houses are vacant, and the number of refugees we encounter along the way has also increased.

The situation is even worse today. Why are there so many people fleeing? Could it be that there is something going on? Liu Qiaolian said with a slight frown.

"There is indeed something wrong. Let's go down and find out." Xia Daoming nodded and drove his horse down the hill.

After some inquiries, Xia Daoming stood on the side of the road, looking at the retreating team, his brows furrowed and his expression a little ugly.

This escape team came from the same place, Xinjiazhuang outside Yuancang City.

The owner of Xinjiazhuang told him that Emperor Liang Jian of the Liang Kingdom wanted to cut down the vassal vassal, causing the kings to rebel.

Now, Yan Yanfeng, the general under the command of King Lingzhou, is leading his troops to surround Yuancang City and will launch an attack soon.

Outside the city, Yan Yanfeng's soldiers and horses captured strong men everywhere, burned, killed, and looted.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the owner of Xinjiazhuang made the decision to move his family to the northwest.

It is close to Cangmang Mountain and has a harsh environment. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the materials are relatively poor. It is unlikely that the army of King Lingzhou will attack, and even if it does, it will not be so fast.

"Master, what should we do now?" Liu Qiaolian asked.

"Go back home!" Xia Daoming said helplessly.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses rushed to kill him, let alone him, even the martial arts master would be swallowed up.

Not to mention, there must be powerful martial arts masters in the army, and the powerful soldiers and generals in the army are all tempered by fighting on the battlefield, which is completely different from those pampered young men in Shi Yingdeng.
-
The journey back is much faster than the journey here.

The news that King Lingzhou rebelled and that the army attacked the city has gradually spread.

On the way, Xia Daoming and Liu Qiaolian clearly felt that the atmosphere in the cities along the way was different from when they came.

People were in panic, as if there was an invisible evil aura hanging over the city.

Bandits outside the city and gangs inside the city took the opportunity to rob and cause chaos.

The situation is even more chaotic.

Refugees and corpses can be seen everywhere in the suburbs.

Large areas of houses and fields were abandoned.

On the way, Xia Daoming and Liu Qiaolian encountered more robbers than when they came.

This situation did not start to improve until the two gradually moved away from the southeast area.

The southern part of Mangzhou is mountainous. The closer to the main line of Cangmang Mountain, the more mountains there are and the harsher the environment.

The mountain road is difficult to walk and the information is not available.

The news about the rebels' attack on the city has not spread so quickly, and even if it did, judging from the wars in the past, the rebels would not be in a hurry to capture the remote city near Cangmang Mountain.

On the way back, Xia Daoming, who felt the urgency of the war, began to take strong medicine.

The medicinal power of the 300-year-old Xilin Ginseng is indeed very powerful. When the medicinal power surges and collides in the meridians, powerful meridians such as Xia Daoming's can feel the slightest pain of being torn open.

However, the effect is also extremely significant.

Before taking the medicine, his third-level meridian strengthening progress was at 38%.

When he finished taking 300-year-old Xilin ginseng in one section a day for five days, he had reached 50% of the fourth-level meridians.

The equivalent of a 300-year-old Xilin ginseng helped him complete a level of strengthening of his meridians.

All the way back, taking the rest of the strong medicine along the way.

The 100-year-old Ice Purple Multiflorum, the 360-year-old Xilin Ginseng, and the 300-year-old Chiyanzhi were all taken by Xia Daoming one by one.

Speaking of which, the later Xilin ginseng is older and more powerful. The 300-year-old Red Flame Zhi is more powerful than the later Xilin ginseng, but the requirements for strengthening the meridians are higher toward the back. When Xia Daoming saw Licheng from a distance a month later, his meridians strengthening progress at the sixth level finally stopped at 90% of the sixth level.

After three and a half months of traveling, Xia Daoming was very satisfied except for not being able to reach the capital, leaving some regrets.

In particular, the huge change in strength satisfied Xia Daoming the most.

He is now confident that he can defeat the seventh-grade great martial artist by one level.

Even if he is an eighth-level martial artist, if he has just been promoted or is older, he will still have the confidence to fight.

The sun sets in the west, and the setting sun is like blood.

After three and a half months, Xia Daoming and Liu Qiaolian returned to Licheng.

Before entering the city gate, Xia Daoming and Liu Qiaolian noticed that the atmosphere in Licheng was somewhat different.

There are very few pedestrians on the official roads outside the city, and even if there are any, they are in a hurry.

From time to time, government officials would pull carts containing corpses out of the city like cargo.

Quite a few of those corpses had scars from fighting and killing.

After entering Licheng, Xia Daoming and Liu Qiaolian found that the atmosphere was getting worse and worse.

In the past, the Xu family and the three major forces were in charge of the city, which was much more stable and orderly than outside the city.

But this time when he came back, Xia Daoming found that there were obviously more turf wars among the lower-level gangs.

On his short journey to Qianjiao Martial Arts Hall, he encountered three group fights.

However, those who participated in the fight were basically ordinary people, and the most powerful ones were second- and third-grade martial artists.

Not long after, the two of them arrived outside the Qianjiao Martial Arts Hall.

The vermilion door of the martial arts hall was actually closed.

Xia Daoming looked back at the bloody setting sun that had not set yet, and his expression sank slightly.

It's still far from the time for the martial arts gym to close.

Xia Daoming took off his bamboo hat, stepped forward, grabbed the copper ring, and banged it several times.

"Crench!"

After a while, a young man in smart clothes opened the door.

"It turns out to be Coach Xia!" Seeing that it was Xia Daoming, the young man breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Wei, why did the school close so early today? Where is Coach Yuchi?" Xia Daoming asked.

"They are all in the inner courtyard, and the master is summoning them to discuss matters." The young man replied.

Xia Daoming secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

As long as Master and the others are still there, everything will be fine.

As for what they were discussing, Xia Daoming didn't want to think too much at this time.

"Lian'er, I'll wait in the front yard while I go to the inner yard." Xia Daoming turned to Liu Qiaolian and told her.

"It's the master!" Liu Qiaolian leaned forward to accept the order.

"Xiao Wei, this Miss Liu is mine, please help me entertain her first." Xia Daoming made a special confession to Xiao Wei before leaving.

"Yes, Coach Xia." Xiao Wei agreed quickly, and then led Liu Qiaolian to the living room in the outer courtyard.

Liu Qiaolian entered the living room, took off her bamboo hat, and immediately revealed her charming face. Xiao Wei was stunned for a while, and she secretly admired Coach Xia for his good fortune.

The four of them, Xia He, were all pretty and pretty, but they didn't expect that they would have such a charming beauty beside them.

Inner courtyard, meeting hall.

Liang Jingtang sat high on the throne, with four people sitting on the left and right: Yu Chixiao, Zhuo Xingji, Jiao Yongbao and Liu Xiaoqiang.

The atmosphere in the hall is depressing.

"Master, you are old. It is definitely not possible to go alone. If you have a disciple with you, at least you will have someone to look after you." Yuchi Xiao said.

"As a teacher, how many years can you live even if you escape this disaster? Now that Gu Ren can no longer count on you, the Qianjiao Martial Arts School is counting on you. You have to follow. If something goes wrong, the Qianjiao Martial Arts School Even if there is no successor at all!" Liang Jingtang said.

"Master is right. We will have to rely on our senior brother to build the Qianjiao Martial Arts Hall in the future. I'd better go with Master on this trip." Zhuo Xingji hesitated for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said.

"No, your Zhuo family has a great business, and many mouths still have to rely on you. Moreover, you just gave birth to a Qilin child the year before last. How can I bear to take you on adventures with me at my age?" Liang Jingtang said without thinking. He waved his hand.

"Still a disciple!"

Just as Liang Jingtang finished speaking, Jiao Yongbao and Liu Xiaoqiang spoke up almost at the same time.

"You are not strong enough, and it is too dangerous to go there. On the contrary, it will distract Master. Okay, you don't need to say anything anymore. Master will go to Qianjiao Martial Arts Hall alone!" Liang Jingtang slapped the table and said without any doubt.

Yuchixiao and the four others looked anxious and worried, but they were unable to do anything.

"Where are you going, Master?" At this moment, a young voice sounded outside the conference hall.

PS: I suddenly realized that the new month’s monthly ticket has started to recalculate the ranking. Although I haven’t entered V yet, I still ask for support from the next monthly ticket to strive for a better ranking and attract more readers. In addition, with everyone's strong support, this book rushed to the third place in the Xianxia New Book Signing List in the first round of promotion. The previous two books were released half a month earlier than me, so it is still very likely to be number one in the future. I hope, rush duck!
