"Are you from the Black Knight Gang?"
Li Qian looked at the three of them, asking out of curiosity.
These Black Knight Gang members clearly escaped from the territory of the Purple Cloud Sect, yet they act so arrogantly and domineeringly upon reaching the territory of the Divine Sword Sect?
Are they stupid or just purely malicious?
Under normal circumstances, a leader able to head a powerful faction must be intelligent. Shouldn’t they act humbly and keep a low profile when on someone else’s turf?
They even have a relationship with rebellious forces like the Purple Cloud Sect.
Therefore, after reviewing information about the Black Knight Gang, he was very curious: what kind of person is Nie Yun, the leader of the Black Knight Gang?
Judging from the misdeeds of these three Black Knight Gang members, it seems to line up with what’s mentioned in the documents.
"Right, what about it? Scared now?"
One of the Black Knight Gang members said coldly.
"I’m an Inner Sect Disciple of the Divine Sword Sect, do you think I’m afraid?"
Li Qian directly declared his identity, speaking with a smile.
Hearing this, the Black Knight Gang member’s face first froze, then immediately changed expressions, "You, you really are an Inner Sect Disciple of the Divine Sword Sect?"
"Guaranteed genuine. What about it? Scared now?"
Li Qian echoed the man’s words right back at him.
"My lord jests. Our Black Knight Gang is but a small faction, how could we not fear a grand martial arts sect like the Divine Sword Sect."
The Black Knight Gang member said hastily, his tone and demeanor immediately shifting to that of a coward.
"That’s not right, just now you were all so arrogant and domineering, not taking my Divine Sword Sect seriously at all?"
Li Qian laughed, "As I know, your Black Knight Gang dominates within Chuyun County, overpowering several local forces until they can barely breathe."
"My lord, that’s absolutely untrue, those forces must be slandering us..."
The Black Knight Gang member’s head shook like a rattle-drum.
"Heh, at the very least, you three were arrogant and domineering, that I witnessed with my own eyes."
Li Qian chuckled lightly, "The three of you, just wait here. If you think of escaping, let’s see whether you run faster or my sword strikes quicker."
Then he said to Song Yingying, "Let’s go check your home."
Since he had run into Song Yingying, he had to inquire about her situation.
After all, she was the granddaughter of Elder Song.
From Elder Song, he received an important treasure map... otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to enter the Taiping Sacred Cave, obtain that massive demon stone, or even the Black Iron Ring, a Storage Device.
Song Yingying nodded and helped her husband Wang Cheng walk towards their home.
A little girl ran over, took Song Yingying’s hand, and curiously looked at Li Qian.
"Is this your daughter? She’s grown this big?"
Li Qian was surprised by the little girl.
"Yeah, Sisi, call him uncle."
The little girl called out sweetly and tenderly.
Li Qian smiled faintly.
"Sisi is the eldest?"
"Yes, the second one has just turned one."
Song Yingying nodded.
After walking for a while, they arrived in front of a large house.
This was the grandest house in Maple Leaf Village.
At the entrance, several people looked extremely anxious. Upon seeing Song Yingying and Wang Cheng return, they all hurriedly greeted them.
"Yingying, Cheng... are you all right?"
The speaker was an old man dressed in the garb of a wealthy merchant.
"Father-in-law, we’re all right..."
Song Yingying said, "You and mother-in-law don’t need to worry."
In this family, Song Yingying was the one in charge.
Upon entering the large house,
Song Yingying helped Wang Cheng to sit down, asked her daughter to play aside, and said to Li Qian, "Cousin, if it wasn’t for you today, our family might have been doomed."
"Cousin, have you come because of the Black Knight Gang?"
She suddenly asked again.
"Yep, I’m here to deal with the Black Knight Gang."
Li Qian nodded his head.
"That’s really wonderful."
Song Yingying was very happy.
Having offended the Black Knight Gang, if it does not fall and once Li Qian leaves, their family might suffer again, unless they relocate.
But where could they move to in these times?
Moreover, if their family left, what would happen to everyone else in Maple Leaf Village?
Practically everyone in Maple Leaf Village was related in some way, mostly carrying the last name Wang. They couldn’t just get up and leave.
"Don’t worry, the Black Knight Gang won’t be able to threaten your family."
Li Qian said, "Also... these items, I’ll leave them with you."
Saying this, he took out three bottles of elixir from his carried pouch and placed them on the table.
"These three bottles of elixir, two are Qi Blood Pills, and the other bottle contains one pill that can cleanse the marrow and improve the physique and Root Bone of your two children. Remember, you must wait until they are seven before using it. Each time, only scrape a little bit and dissolve it in water for the children to consume, take it once a day, and if they practice the Sword Stabbing Fist along with it, they should have no big issues passing the Inner Sect assessment of the Divine Sword Sect as long as they follow my instructions."
This particular pill was one he found inside the Black Iron Ring, having conducted a great deal of experiments and after studying the demon text did he confirm its use.
Moreover... he had tested it on Li Mo, with excellent results.
With Li Mo’s innate talent and Root Bone, normally there would be no big issue in passing the assessment for the Inner Sect, but for an elder of the Divine Sword Sect to notice him and take him as a Direct Disciple, the chances were slim.
After using the pill he named the Soul Cleansing Demon Pill, Li Mo’s Root Bone talent vastly improved.
This one Soul Cleansing Demon Pill would be sufficient for Song Yingying’s two children to use.
If it wasn’t for Elder Song’s sake... he would not have casually given away such a precious Soul Cleansing Demon Pill.
