Qi Tian had never imagined he would Find himself so far from Wandu City. He was completely unfamiliar with this place, clueless about the local culture and geography. From this perspective, it seemed that the best choice might be to return to Wanjie City. However, considering the matter from a different angle, arriving in a completely unfamiliar environment was not necessarily a bad thing for him; it presented a rare opportunity to broaden his horizons.

Qi Tian asked Gao Jinmei for any suggestions, and whether she was familiar with the area. Gao Jinmei shook her head firmly. As an assassin, she had indeed traveled to many places, even those farther from Wanjie City, but she had never been to this region before. To her, this was an entirely unknown territory, making it difficult to offer any advice to Qi Tian.

Scratching his head, Qi Tian now had no idea where to go. He looked around and eventually chose a direction opposite to Wanjie City, pointing it out. He decided to continue forward in this direction, flying for ten days. If nothing of interest was encountered within ten days, then Qi Tian would turn back and head straight for Wanjie City.

Gao Jinmei naturally had no objections to Qi Tian’s decision, and so the two set off once again.

Mounting their flying swords, they followed the direction Qi Tian had chosen and flew onward. In the blink of an eye, several days had passed, and they had traveled thousands of miles farther from Wanjie City. Despite encountering some beautiful scenery along the way, they hadn’t come across anything that particularly captured their interest.

Just as Qi Tian decided to fly one more day before turning back if nothing special appeared, he suddenly saw a city ahead, which slightly surprised him. Since following the patrol team away from Wanjie City, several days had passed without encountering a single city or even a village after traveling thousands of miles. The direction they had chosen seemed extremely desolate and barren, and Qi Tian could clearly feel that the local Spirit Qi was subpar, unsuitable for cultivation. Now, seeing such a city abruptly, Qi Tian naturally found it quite strange.

After some thought, he descended from the sky and disguised himself as a traveler in a hurry, with Gao Jinmei in tow, making their way on foot towards the city.

Although they were walking on the ground, they moved quickly. As dusk approached, they arrived at the outskirts of the city, a small one with a total city wall length of less than ten miles, making it quite petite. Yet, in such a small city, Qi Tian felt over a hundred intense fluctuations of Spirit Force, all emanating from Gold Core Realm cultivators, and even sensed the presence of two or three Nascent Soul Masters. Although they were only at the Nascent Soul Realm First Level, they were indeed genuine Nascent Soul Masters.

Qi Tian found this extremely odd. The little city was also built in a rather desolate location, where the Spirit Qi was mediocre and unfit for high-level cultivators’ training. Qi Tian also didn’t detect any particular natural treasures in the vicinity. Yet, oddly enough, there was such a congregation of people, which was truly worth investigating.

However, what truly aroused Qi Tian’s curiosity wasn’t the gathering of Nascent Soul Masters or the many Gold Core Realm powerhouses, but the sight of people from the National Master Manor. This National Master Manor was not that of the Great Zhao Nation but of Wanjie City. Essentially, all three National Masters of the Great Zhao Nation originated from the National Master Manor of Wanjie City. On this basis, Qi Tian had a certain connection with the National Master Manor of Wan Jian City, though he had never officially acknowledged this relationship. Now, seeing them appear here made Qi Tian think there might be something valuable, and naturally, he didn’t want to miss the chance.

Before entering the small city, Qi Tian had already discussed with Gao Jinmei and both used secret techniques to suppress their cultivation realms, presenting themselves to others as merely having entered the Gold Core Realm, appearing non-threatening.

Upon entering the city, many people cast their gaze upon them, as if trying to scrutinize their true strengths.

Nonchalantly, Qi Tian and Gao Jinmei approached the city’s inn, requesting to rent a room.

The innkeeper was just an ordinary man who had not been spared from the pillaging of cultivators lately. When Qi Tian inquired about room availability, the innkeeper behaved with trepidation. He did wish to provide lodging to Qi Tian, but all his rooms were already rented out, with no vacancies left. Not only were his rooms full, but other inns in the city were also booked solid; there wasn’t a single spare bed to be found.

Qi Tian didn’t insist. He and Gao Jinmei left the inn and stood on the main street, seemingly casual as they found an open and clean space to sit down, exuding an air of composed ease.
