Although Qi Tian had been trapped in the Imperial Family Secret Territory for several months, it seemed like a considerable amount of time, but in fact, he had only become well-known in the Secret Territory in the past few days. Most cultivators, aside from knowing that he had entered the Saint’s Tomb with several princes from the Eastern Capital City and had safely returned, were utterly oblivious to his other deeds. Expecting them to judge the credibility of Qi Tian’s words based on this single feat was essentially asking for the impossible.

By contrast, Zhao Deyi’s reputation in Xidu was long-established. Male and female cultivators young and old alike knew him as Emperor Longqing’s second son, the grand master who had been stuck in the Half-step Nascent Soul Realm for a hundred years, who had now become the first person in the history of the Imperial Family Secret Territory to ascend to the Nascent Soul Stage. The credibility of his words was much higher than that of Qi Tian, and the conditions he offered were far more tempting to them.

It didn’t take long for the situation on the scene to become very clear. Those cultivators who felt that Qi Tian’s warning must not be ignored all stood at a distance, not daring to step forward, with some of the more cautious ones even turning to retreat, choosing a further spot to continue being onlookers.

However, compared to them, even more cultivators chose to disregard Qi Tian’s warning. Eager to obtain from Zhao Deyi the secrets of breaking through their current realm, they resolutely decided to take their chances. Qi Tian indeed seemed formidable, but he must have his limits, right? If they banded together and charged forward, there was no reason they couldn’t eliminate Qi Tian. Although many would undoubtedly perish under Qi Tian’s sword, they preferred to gamble for their future rather than facing the inability to advance their realm and merely waiting to exhaust their lifespan and meet death.

Zhao Deyi looked on with satisfaction at the cultivators willing to stand up for him and loudly proclaimed, “My fellow cultivators, rest assured and go forth boldly. As long as you can slay Qi Tian for this prince, I will certainly fulfill my promise and help you ascend to the next level in your cultivation.”

Zhao Deyi spoke loudly, ensuring that his voice could be heard throughout Xidu. This was not only a public promise, providing reassurance to these cultivators but also an enticement to more cultivators to stand up and fight for him, to lead the charge on his behalf.

Under Zhao Deyi’s enticing offer, the cultivators who stepped forward each took out their weapons, using all their means — either stepping on flying swords or riding Spirit Beasts — they charged towards Qi Tian in a frenzied rush. They intended to use the tactic of overwhelming numbers to completely annihilate Qi Tian.

Watching the hundreds of Gold Core Realm cultivators charging towards him, Qi Tian was expressionless. He did not wish to cause undue slaughter and had specifically warned them. But since they were determined to ignore his cautions, he could not be blamed for what came next.

With a wave of his hand, nine ghastly faces flew out from the black hole in his palm. Qi Tian pointed at the charging cultivators and issued an ice-cold command.

“Annihilate them without mercy.”

Although several of the nine Ghost Eyes were not of the Nascent Soul Stage, they had only just fallen from that level. Their sharpness, insights, and more were still intact. When they saw that their targets, as commanded by Qi Tian, were merely a group of Gold Core Stage cultivators, they were somewhat dissatisfied. But since the order came from Qi Tian himself, regardless of their unwillingness, they had no choice but to charge forward.

They channeled all their dissatisfaction toward the oncoming cultivators, like tigers descending the mountain. No matter how fierce these Gold Core Realm cultivators seemed, in their eyes, they were merely lambs awaiting slaughter, posing no threat whatsoever. Even killing them brought no sense of thrill to the nine Ghost Eyes.

Nobody on the scene could have imagined that Qi Tian would resort to such tactics, suddenly unleashing nine grotesque heads that looked terrifying and possessed such formidable strength.

Some of the faster-reacting cultivators turned heel and ran, but even their speed was like that of snails in the eyes of the Ghost Eyes with their Nascent Soul Stage abilities. They were quickly chased down and dispatched in the blink of an eye. As for the slower cultivators, they barely had a moment’s encounter with the Ghost Eyes before they inexplicably lost their lives.

In less than a minute, all those Gold Core Realm cultivators who had been used by Zhao Deyi to attempt to take down Qi Tian were annihilated, not one survived. More terrifyingly, their deaths were thorough, with not only their Gold Cores shattered but also their souls completely eradicated by the Ghost Eyes, leaving them no chance for reincarnation and re-cultivation.

For a moment, the battlefield was strewn with the corpses of the Gold Core Realm cultivators who had just perished, and a stench of blood rose into the nostrils of the surrounding onlookers, causing their complexions to drastically change. Beyond their horror, they were thankful they had not succumbed to Zhao Deyi’s incitement; otherwise, they, too, would have been devoid of all life by now.

Everyone, including Zhao Deyi, looked at Qi Tian in bewildered shock. If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, none would have dared believe that Qi Tian wielded such a terrifying force. Where on earth had this powerful newcomer come from? Was he the scion of some great world’s major clan?
