Qi Tian’s reaction perfectly matched the judgment of the five Nascent Soul Masters who were charging towards him. In their view, the fact that Qi Tian had been chosen by Wanjie City to compete for the ownership of the secret realm with cultivation not even reaching the Nascent Soul Stage meant he must possess extraordinary abilities. Moreover, various companions had already been defeated by Qi Tian consecutively; if Qi Tian were not somewhat capable, he certainly wouldn’t have been able to achieve that. Yet, even with Qi Tian’s impressive abilities, he was merely a cultivator at the Gold Core Stage, significantly different in many aspects from these true Nascent Soul Masters. Not to mention anything else, just in the range of Divine Sense alone, Qi Tian couldn’t match them. The location they were in was beyond the sensory range of most cultivators at the Gold Core Realm, so it was natural for Qi Tian not to sense them.

The moment Qi Tian lowered his head, these five Nascent Soul Masters decided to kill, releasing their prepared attacks all at once, delivering a covering strike to Qi Tian, leaving no chance for him to escape.

However, what they hadn’t expected happened in the instant they launched their attacks. Somehow, a thick black fog had risen around Qi Tian, enveloping him and the surrounding area entirely.

The Nascent Soul Masters watched helplessly as Qi Tian disappeared from their sight. Even when they tried to use their Divine Sense to locate Qi Tian’s position, they couldn’t, as maintaining accuracy in their strike required them to constantly lock onto Qi Tian with their Divine Sense. But now, having lost track of Qi Tian, they couldn’t ensure they could kill him.

The Nascent Soul Masters were suddenly alarmed. Although they had begun to take Qi Tian seriously when Song He warned them, deep down, they still somewhat underestimated him, thinking Song He was making a fuss over nothing. But now, seeing Qi Tian employ such a tactic had truly made them view him with new respect.

The five Nascent Soul Masters remembered Song He’s advice, stayed together, and maintained a relatively close distance as they flew towards the area shrouded in thick fog where Qi Tian had disappeared.

To their eyes, this area did not seem very large, but as they flew closer, they were still somewhat surprised. The area covered by the thick fog measured about two to three meters across. Crossing such a distance would only take a blink of an eye, but to find Qi Tian’s position within such a vast area and to strike him accurately was indeed not an easy task.

Although the Nascent Soul Masters sensed the strangeness of the fog, each of them, with their profound cultivation realms and powerful methods, really didn’t take the fog too seriously. They planned to get even closer to study it well before deciding their next move.

Very soon, they had already reached very close to the edge of the fog. Before they could officially begin their investigation of this fog, it suddenly shifted from stillness to motion. The edges quickly started spreading outwards, and almost instantaneously, it had engulfed all of these Nascent Soul Masters.

When truly surrounded by this dense fog, the Nascent Soul Masters realized just how formidable it was.

Though the fog seemed unremarkable, it was exceptionally effective at blocking Divine Sense. Staying within it, one couldn’t see anything and had to rely solely on feeling. They immediately realized that they had likely fallen into Qi Tian’s trap. Qi Tian had gone to great lengths to lure them into the fog, surely having some special tactics in waiting. How could they possibly sit still and wait for doom? A Nascent Soul Master tried to fly out of the fog. With their strength and abilities, it could take them just a second to fly hundreds or even thousands of meters. Their speed was unquestionably fast, making it seem easy to break free from the fog’s grasp.

However, as these Nascent Soul Masters tried to deploy their methods, they suddenly felt as if something had pounced on them. Although invisible, these things felt small in size but incredibly powerful, no less formidable than themselves. After these things pounced on them, they began viciously tearing at them.

The Nascent Soul Masters knew they had fallen into Qi Tian’s ambush. They all attempted to save themselves and tried to escape the fog’s envelopment, but soon realized it was all wishful thinking. The things that had pounced on them were fiercely pulling at them, not giving them any chance to break free. Moreover, it seemed these creatures had other helpers, particularly at places like their backs or shoulders, making them feel as if mountains were pressing down, severely hindering their movements. Soon, it appeared as though something else had tangled their limbs, making even small movements like lifting a hand or a foot extremely difficult.

Qi Tian stood not far from the Nascent Soul Masters, silently watching as Ghost Face, Transporting Whirlwind, and Glazed Sand coordinated and assaulted them.

Qi Tian’s orchestrated attack didn’t last long. Very soon, these five fierce Nascent Soul Masters could not withstand Qi Tian’s tactics and were all captured alive, none managing to escape.

Qi Tian immediately used a method to seal their Nascent Soul Purple Mansions and tied their hands and feet with ropes, then unapologetically ripped their Storage Bags off them and collected them.

Capturing these five Nascent Soul Masters was a victory, but for Qi Tian, this did not signify a time for celebration. The real mastermind directing everything from behind the scenes was certainly not among these five Nascent Soul Masters. He must still be hiding in the distance, watching everything here. Perhaps he was even planning some other mischief. Such a person, if allowed to continue acting freely, would surely create all sorts of trouble for Qi Tian.

Qi Tian, who dreaded trouble, knew of this person’s existence and his first reaction was to kill him, or at the very least, keep him firmly under control, not allowing him any opportunity to pose a threat.

Qi Tian immediately ordered Glazed Sand to continue manipulating the black fog. They couldn’t change location but had to make noises and also keep expanding the fog’s edge outward. He intended to use the expanding fog as a cover to dodge those watchful, venomous eyes, find an opportunity to slip away, then take a detour to locate and capture the owner of those eyes.
