Chapter 1383: Chapter 0786: Impossible Not to Find Chapter 1383: Chapter 0786: Impossible Not to Find Chapter 0786: The Search Cannot Possibly Fail

Although Qi Tian had finally found Mansion Master Xiao Xiaowu, he did not stay with him for long. Finding Xiao Xiaowu was just one task completed; Qi Tian still needed to search for Zhao Haiying, Sun Xiang, Liao Chongru, and others. They were his Immortal Slaves when he was in Great Zhao Nation and had entered the Imperial Family Secret Territory with him. However, upon entering, Qi Tian lost contact with them.

To Qi Tian now, they could hardly provide much help anymore, but Qi Tian felt it was his responsibility to lead them out of the Imperial Family Secret Territory.

In the past, finding them would not have been an easy task for Qi Tian; his influence and the forces under his control were not sufficient to support the completion of this task. But now, nothing could stop him.

Qi Tian had already searched both Eastern Capital City and North Capital without finding any trace of Zhao Haiying or Liao Chongru. The only place left that he had not thoroughly searched was Xidu, within the Imperial Family Secret Territory.

Xidu was the first city established in the Imperial Family Secret Territory and the foothold of Great Ancestor Emperor of Great Zhao Nation when he inadvertently entered the Imperial Family Secret Territory. He used it as a base to explore the Secret Territory and to leverage its cultivation resources to enhance himself, which in turn benefited Great Zhao Nation, enabling it to stand out from a slew of small nations and eventually become a major regional power.

From this series of events, one could see the status that Xidu held within the Imperial Family Secret Territory. Any Prince who could establish themselves in Xidu was definitely among the best of the Princes, whether in terms of their personal strength or the power they wielded, none could compare to Emperor Jianwu and the like.

However, Qi Tian didn’t care about these matters. He had already confirmed that in the history of the Imperial Family Secret Territory, no one had cultivated to the Nascent Soul Stage. Zhao Deyi, who had just advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage a while ago, had been wiped from existence by him. As for the other Princes, no matter how good their conditions or how deep their foundations, they had not even touched the threshold of the Nascent Soul Stage. Dealing with them wouldn’t pose any difficulty for Qi Tian.

After bidding farewell to Master Xiao, Qi Tian asked him and Emperor Jianwu to return to the Eastern Capital first, and then he flew toward Xidu at a leisurely pace on his flying sword. Although he was not close to Xidu—over a thousand miles away—the distance was not an obstacle for him, and it did not take Qi Tian much time.

About half a day later, Qi Tian arrived at Xidu. He didn’t enter the city but controlled his flying sword to hover in the air. Facing Xidu, he called out.

“Esteemed Princes of Xidu, I am Qi Tian. I have matters that require your convenience, please come forth and meet.”

Qi Tian’s voice wasn’t loud, but it was enough to reach every imperial palace in Xidu. Nowadays, Qi Tian’s name was feared throughout the Imperial Family Secret Territory; Emperor Chaoyang, the strongest in Eastern Capital, had to migrate from the city because he offended Qi Tian, and the situation of Emperor Longqing, the most powerful in North Capital, was even more tragic. His two sons, whom Emperor Longqing had painstakingly raised, were all dead, and his palace was reduced to ruins—his fate much worse than Emperor Chaoyang’s.

Given these precedents, although Qi Tian had never been to Xidu before, every Prince saw him as a plague god. When Qi Tian summoned them, not one dared to ignore it. They feared inadvertently angering Qi Tian and following in the footsteps of Emperor Chaoyang and Emperor Longqing, becoming yet another negative example among the Princes of the Imperial Family Secret Territory.

Qi Tian did not have to wait long; several Princes of Xidu hurried out of their palaces and rushed over to Qi Tian in a flurry, bowing and greeting him.

Qi Tian looked at these six Princes and could not help but marvel at their collective strength, which indeed surpassed that of Emperor Jianwu and his contemporaries. Among them, even the weakest was already at the Gold Core Realm Eighth Level, and two had reached the level of Half-Step Nascent Soul, with the remaining three somewhere in between. Such strength could be considered outstanding even in Wanjie City.

Qi Tian did not make it difficult for them. He bore no grudges against these six Princes, and there was no need to start with a confrontation that would bring him no benefits. When the Princes greeted him, he returned the gesture politely before speaking, “I apologize for the inconvenience, esteemed Princes. If I didn’t need your assistance with some matters, I would not have troubled you by coming here.”

A Prince who was at the Half-Step Nascent Soul stage stepped forward and said, “May I know if Master Qi is acquainted with this old one? I am Emperor Daqian.”

When Qi Tian heard the Prince reveal his identity, he immediately showed respect. Emperor Daqian had made a significant mark in the history of Great Zhao Nation, regarded by the populace as second only to the Grand Ancestor as a revered ruler. During his reign, he elevated Great Zhao Nation to a great height, and the people benefited much from his rule.

Aware of his deeds, Qi Tian quickly bowed to Emperor Daqian, “I did not realize I was in the presence of Emperor Daqian. I hope you will not blame me for any disrespect shown unknowingly and will be gracious to overlook it.”
