Hong Qing Shan destroyed his opponent's dantian with one punch, but he was still filled with doubts in his heart: "I have no grudges or grievances with the Iron Shirt Sect, just because I came to the Barbaric Wilderness, they want to kill me? There are too many masters who come to the Barbaric Wilderness, if the Iron Shirt Sect kills every single one of them, they won't even have enough hands! There must be some secret behind this."

  In his heart, Teng Qing Shan's eyes were fixed on Liu Jian, like a lone wolf staring at its prey.

  "No, no!" Liu Jian backed away in terror, he didn't want to die!

  Pomelo!

  With a sudden push of his left hand, Liu Jian turned around and rushed towards the back like a madman. Although his dantian was destroyed, he was still a formidable martial artist after all, and his physical quality was still quite good. His running speed was also quite fast. But... compared to Teng Qing Shan, it was far from enough.

  Wow!

  Liu Jian felt a gust of wind pass by, and then his neck tightened.

  "Ah~~" Liu Jian's whole body was off the ground.

  Teng Qing Shan grabbed Liu Jian's collar with one hand and lifted him up, Liu Jian said: "Teng, Teng Qing Shan... no, Commander Teng! Commander Teng, I was just following orders. You've crippled my internal energy, I'm a useless person now. Just consider it a fart and let me go!"

  Liu Jian attaches great importance to his own life!

  Once the inner energy is gone, it's gone. As a guardian of the Iron Shirt Sect, even if he loses his inner energy, his future life won't be miserable. His family still has several beautiful daughters, and he hasn't enjoyed the pleasures of life enough. How could he be willing to die?

  "Teng Qing Shan asked in a cold voice," "Why did you want to kill me?"

  Liu Jian was secretly shocked, that secret relationship was serious. Liu Jian had lived in the Iron Clothes Sect for decades and was still very loyal. Liu Jian shook his head and sighed: "This time entering the Savage Wilderness is a big deal. We completely obey Master Shibo's orders. As for wanting to kill you, it was Master Shibo's order. I don't know why either..."

  "Don't you know?"

  Teng Qing Shan reached out and grabbed one of Liu Jian's crippled right hand fingers, then slowly applied force.

  "Ah ah ah, it's going to break off, it's going to break off!" Liu Jian shouted in terror.

  "Crack!"

  It was as if crushing a peanut shell, accompanied by Liu Jian's painful scream, that one finger was pinched to pieces by Teng Qing Shan. Teng Qing Shan looked at Liu Jian: "I don't want you to lie again! This time lying, I cut off the right hand one finger. But next time you lie again, I will disable your left wrist!"

  Liu Jian's face turned pale.

  "I didn't..."

  "How dare you say you didn't lie?" Ting Qing Shan stared at him.

  Liu Jian's mouth opened and closed, but he didn't dare make a sound.

  "Your master's uncle, why did he order to kill me." Teng Qing Shan continued.

  Liu Jian gritted his teeth and thought to himself, "As long as I don't reveal that secret, nothing should happen. I'll just casually mention a rare and precious heavenly treasure, he probably won't suspect anything." He then looked at Teng Qing Shan with a nervous expression: "Teng Commander, actually, the reason we're going to the Barbaric Lands this time is to pick some Undying Grass!"

  "Undying Grass?" Teng Qing Shan was shocked in his heart.

  A person's lifespan is limited. If they are a postnatal master, even if their body is in top condition, they will still die of natural causes at the age of 150. The age of 150 is the limit for postnatal masters! Generally, most postnatal peak masters can live to be over 100 years old as long as they are not killed by others.

  The congenitally strong can live up to two hundred years!

  Even if a congenital martial artist is extremely powerful and has a great body, they still can't defy the limits of their lifespan! Of course, two hundred years is actually very long.

  But the herb of immortality can make people live longer.

  This is not the grass of immortality, it's not that if you eat it you'll really never die! But rather... once you've eaten the immortal grass, legend has it that you can live for another two hundred years! Even people who are mortally wounded will recover physically in a short time after eating the immortal grass. For those born with great strength, on top of their original lifespan of two hundred years, they'll gain an additional two hundred years... probably not one person born with great strength could resist such temptation.

  In Tiandi Lingbao, Undying Grass is also considered one of the top-tier herbs.

  "It's a vast and desolate place, where even the Undying Grass might exist. And yet, your Iron Clothes Sect has managed to obtain this information." Teng Qing Shan stared at Liu Jian.

  "This is no trivial matter. If it leaks out, some hidden superpowerful beings may covet it, and at that time, my Iron Clothes Sect will probably be unable to cope with the superpowerful beings in the world." Liu Jian said, "So this time, we have Master Shibo leading us personally, advancing cautiously along the way. However...we saw you following Teng Qian in the inn at Nanman City, and later encountered you again in the Barbaric Lands, so we suspected that you were intentionally tailing us!"

  Hong Qingshan nodded silently.

  I've seen myself twice already.

  "This Immortal Grass is of great importance, and in case something goes wrong, Master Shibo Zu has ordered me to come and kill you!" Liu Jian Lian said.

  "Who is your paternal grandfather's elder brother?" Teng Qing Shan shouted.

  Liu Jian said: "Shibo Zu, his name is Deng Geng!"

  "Deng Geng? Innate master?" asked Teng Qing Shan.

  "Ah, Xiantian. He is the Law Enforcement Elder of our Tiayi Gate." Liu Jian said, Teng Qing's eyebrows slightly furrowed: "Which boundary in Xiantian?"

  Liu Jian shook his head and said, "I don't know this." Seeing Teng Qing's gaze turn cold, Liu Jian continued in a terrified tone, "Marshal Teng, I really don't know! Shifu Zu is highly respected within the Iron Clothes Sect, he is one of the strongest among the pre-heavenly cultivators, many people are aware of that. But whether he is a Void Core, Real Core or Golden Core, how could I, a mere guardian, possibly know? This is a great secret."

  "Hmm." Teng Qing Shan nodded.

  "How long has Deng Geng entered the Xiantian?" Teng Qing Shan asked again, and judging from the length of time one had entered the Xiantian, he could also roughly gauge the other's strength.

  "It's been almost twenty years." Liu Jian said.

  Twenty years!

  It's been a moderate amount of time, and some people have entered the Innate Twenty Years later, but haven't made any progress. However, there are others who, in twenty years, can go from Void Dan to the pinnacle 'Golden Dan'.

  "I'll ask you one last question! If you answer properly, I might spare your life." Teng Qing Shan threw Liu Jian to the side, slamming him into the withered fallen leaves, a hint of a smile on his face. "However, if you lie... I will slowly break all four of your limbs, and then, one by one, I'll crush every single one of your fingers. After that, I'll take this knife and carve shallow wounds all over your body. The blood will flow out, and the smell of blood... will attract the wild beasts around us. Being eaten alive by those beasts, I reckon you'll enjoy it."

  Liu Jian's face turned pale.

  "Say, where are you going to venture into the wilderness?" Teng Qing Shan shouted abruptly!

  Liu Jian was shocked.

  The destination is a big secret, once it's said, it's over.

  "You have a bone to pick." Teng Qing Shan smiled, stretched out his hand and grabbed Liu Jian's left wrist in a flash. Liu Jian was terrified and immediately shouted: "No, no, don't, I, I'll say it, I'll say it!!!"

  "Crack!"

  Teng Qing Shan suddenly twisted, like the sound of a wooden board breaking, that small arm was completely broken, and white bones were exposed.

  "Remember, no hesitation! I don't have time to waste with you!" Teng Qing Shan stood up.

  "It's Half Moon Lake! The desolate Half Moon Lake!" Liu Jianlian said.

  "Ah, Liu Jian! Actually, my entry into the Barbarian Lands this time has nothing to do with your Iron Clothes Sect. You yourself came looking for me to kill... Logically, I should be the one killing you. But I'm giving you a chance! However, you've disappointed me greatly - you're still lying! So, this is where you'll meet your end."

  "No, I didn't lie." Liu Jianlian shouted.

  "Hmph, Half Moon Lake is in the central region of the Barbarian Lands! From your Chu County, head to Half Moon Lake in the Barbarian Lands. The nearest route should be to proceed straight ahead and then enter Yan Zhou. From Yan Zhou, enter the Barbarian Lands!" Teng Qing Shan looked at Liu Jian, whose face changed, and he hastily said: "My Iron Clothes Sect has people all over Yangzhou, so going..."

  Hong Qing Shan continued, "Even if you set out from Nanman City and head to the Half Month Lake in the Barbarian Wilderness, you should be heading southwest. Not due south! Are you trying to take a detour, your Master's ancestor?"

  Liu Jian gritted his teeth in silent resentment.

  The destination was not 'Half Moon Lake', he had been raised by the Iron Clothes Sect for so many years, and even if he was afraid of death, he was still very loyal to the Iron Clothes Sect. That's why in that emergency situation, he immediately reported a name. However, he did not expect that his lie would be seen through by Qing Shan at once.

  "Alright, I'll tell you, but you can't kill me." Liu Jian gritted his teeth and said.

  "Lies will cost you dearly." Teng Qing Shan stretched out his right hand again.

  "No, don't." Liu Jianlian shouted.

  Bang!

  Hong Qing Shan pinched Liu Jian's right shoulder, smiling faintly: "This is just a small punishment... speak up, or you won't have another chance."

  Liu Jian's forehead was covered in sweat beads, and he nodded repeatedly: "I'll say it, but you have to let me go."

  "Hmph, still spouting nonsense." Teng Qing Shan was about to stretch out his right hand again, but Liu Jian had already become terrified of Teng Qing Shan's right hand and hastily said: "It's Yin Jiao Mountain! The Yin Jiao Mountain in the Barbaric Mountains! Master Tai Zu and the others went there, I absolutely didn't lie this time, if I lied, may heaven strike me with lightning."

  Yinjiao Mountain

  Hong Qingshan knew that place, it was a very treacherous high mountain two thousand miles deep in the wilderness.

  "Don't be in a hurry to leave." Teng Qing Shan stretched out his hand and took everything out of Liu Jian Hua's pocket, "Perhaps he has the map on him, that map may indicate their destination."

  He immediately pulled out a map and unfolded it to take a look, and it was indeed the Barbaric Map. Unfortunately, there were no markings on the Barbaric Map.

  "Still quite cautious." Teng Qing Shan shook his head secretly.

  "Can I go now?" Liu Jian asked nervously, and upon seeing Teng Qing Shan nodding, he turned around and walked away, secretly seething in his heart, "Teng Qing Shan! This grudge, I'll never forget it for the rest of my life, you——"

  "Ah!"

  Liu Jian let out a mournful cry.

  Pffft! Pffft! Pffft!

  Fresh blood splattered everywhere, Liu Jian's entire body fell to the ground, his limbs weak and limp. Teng Qing Shan only then sheathed his Blood Drinking Knife.

  "You, you said it before, I told you not to kill me, let me go!" Liu Jian stared at Teng Qing Shan.

  "I didn't kill you, and aren't you still alive?" Teng Qing Shan turned to leave, Liu Jian looked at the constantly flowing blood, and a rustling sound had already started around him. A pair of green eyes in the distance was staring here. The bloody smell had attracted the wild beasts from the desolate wilderness!
