This assassin organization had existed for many years and had a long history in Wanjie City. Yet this time, it faced grave misfortune. Under Qi Tian’s orders, Gao Jinmei with two Nascent Soul ghost-faced assassins began to sweep the entire organization.

The sweeping that Qi Tian requested did not involve killing all the members of the assassin organization but capturing them alive and bringing them to the tavern as much as possible.

Once the assassins were captured and brought to the tavern, Qi Tian immediately had them recognize Gao Jinmei as their master. He personally taught Gao Jinmei how to implant the Slave Mark in their sea of consciousness, thus giving Gao Jinmei control over the lives of these assassins.

Over a day passed, and the absolute majority of the assassin organization’s members had fallen into Qi Tian’s hands, becoming Immortal Slaves under Gao Jinmei, and some were either killed or had tasks that kept them out of Wanjie City.

Qi Tian disregarded those individuals. His intention was not to take over the assassin organization but rather to transform all of its members into his tools, just helping him with his tasks.

After taking control of the assassin organization, Qi Tian handed a mission to Gao Jinmei, ordering her to lead all the acquired Immortal Slaves in search of that small clan. As for what to do once they found the small clan, Qi Tian left that decision up to Gao Jinmei.

Gao Jinmei was filled with a murderous aura; after being captured and enduring more than two days of inhuman torture in the dungeon, she had bottled up a lot of rage. Moreover, that small clan had issued a bounty on both her and Qi Tian, which was something she found unbearable.

Gao Jinmei directly took all the Immortal Slaves she had acquired and left Wanjie City. She had previously undertaken a mission for that small clan and knew their location. Since the small clan had already acted against her, she saw no need for pleasantries and planned to teach them what consequences they could face when they angered her.

Qi Tian did not join the operation, as the opposing party was just a small clan without even a single Nascent Soul Master. It was unnecessary for him to oversee the mission personally; Gao Jinmei leading a group of assassins was sufficient. Furthermore, Qi Tian had considered contingencies and had dispatched two ghost-faced guards to secretly follow and prevent any mishaps.

Qi Tian returned to his residence to check if Huang Liuyan had responded to him during his absence. However, he was slightly disappointed to find that there was still no news from Huang Liuyan.

Qi Tian didn’t pay too much attention to this. Instead of staying in his residence, he began to wander around Wanjie City. Although he had visited Wanjie City more than once, there were still many areas he hadn’t explored. If he indeed planned to reside in Wanjie City in the future, then he needed to familiarize himself with it as much as possible. Additionally, he wanted to use this opportunity to see if there were opportunities in Wanjie City that he could utilize, whether to hasten his cultivation progress or to increase his reserves of cultivation resources.

This exploration of Qi Tian lasted for about two days. Wanjie City was a city that never slept, and even at night, many people were still out and about, and so was Qi Tian.

Eventually, Qi Tian received a message from Gao Jinmei, which made him stop and return to his residence to meet her.

Gao Jinmei brought him good news: the small clan had been conquered by her, and henceforth, there would be no more word from that small clan in the world. Firstly, Gao Jinmei also secured the secret territory they had recently discovered. She had personally explored it and found it quite remarkable. While the area of the secret territory wasn’t as vast as the Imperial Family Secret Territory, the density of Spirit Qi was much higher. Moreover, Gao Jinmei found many spots beneficial for cultivation. She wasn’t certain if the secret territory was suitable for Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, but it was definitely capable of nurturing Gold Core Realm cultivators.

After briefly reporting the situation, Gao Jinmei handed over a Capturing Stone to Qi Tian, which contained footage of her exploration inside the secret territory. Additionally, Gao Jinmei also gave him some items she had collected there, including spirit stones and spirit medicine.

Seeing these items, Qi Tian finally understood why the small clan had been willing to spend a substantial amount to hire assassins to kill him and Gao Jinmei. The secret territory was simply too valuable. If the small clan could have kept firm control over it, they could thrive and prosper, possibly even cultivating a Nascent Soul Master, which would have ensured a bright future for them. Unfortunately, they miscalculated one move; if they had not provoked Qi Tian, they might have had that bright future. Now, all that hope had turned to dust.

Qi Tian planned to visit the secret territory later. Now, he had an even more pressing task — a trip to the National Master Manor. Regardless of whether the National Master Manor was willing to accept him or not, he needed to see how Huang Liuyan was doing and ensure she hadn’t suffered any further harm because of him.
