Qi Tian’s mind stirred slightly, and several Transporting Whirlwinds flew out from the black hole in his palm toward the Carrion Crows that were watching eagerly, waiting to feast on his flesh. The Transporting Whirlwinds were undetectable even to a Nascent Soul Master, let alone these slightly foolish low-level Spirit Birds. At this moment, they were still pondering why the human, who seemed on the verge of death under a rock, still possessed such a strong life force. When would he finally die so that they could have a delightful feast?

The Carrion Crows had no idea that disaster was about to befall them. The Transporting Whirlwinds silently reached their side and, before they realized what was happening, attacked with a speed as fast as lightning, binding them tightly.

The Carrion Crows struggled desperately, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not control the wings growing on their bodies. They wanted to cry out, but their beaks seemed as if they were tied with rope, unable to open. Soon after, they discovered in horror that they had completely lost control over their bodies and uncontrollably drifted toward the human they had wanted to eat just a moment ago—more precisely, they floated toward him, something forcing them to maintain a wing-flapping posture as they spiraled down, landing beside the human. And the fellow of their kind that had landed on the ground before them also seemed bound by rope, involuntarily joining them beside the human.

The Carrion Crows were immensely terrified, using their minuscule intelligence to deduce that their dire situation must definitely be the doing of the human in front of them. If they could speak human language, they certainly would have sworn on the names of their ancestors to stay far away from this human, even if he fed them meat right to their mouths, they wouldn’t eat it.

Just then, the Carrion Crows suddenly felt a blur before their eyes, a fragrance of meat drifted into their nostrils. Unexpectedly, new wounds appeared on the human, each bloody and gruesome. Moreover, a chunk of fat Spirit Beast meat had appeared right beside their mouths, the rich scent tempting their salivating mouths.

Immediately, the Carrion Crows forgot their vows, opened their mouths, and began tearing into the Spirit Beast meat in front of them. No matter what might happen later, they decided to fill their stomachs first—even if it meant dying full.

As the Carrion Crows were feasting, several dark spots appeared on the horizon. Qi Tian had already sensed their approach through the Heavenly Dao Engine; it was none other than Xu Xinge, Wu Jiahui, and others who had been duped into coming.

Xu Xinge and Wu Jiahui were both extremely cautious, wearing masks that blocked Divine Sense detection, but, Qi Tian had recognized their true identities through the fluctuations of their Spirit Forces

Before reaching Qi Tian, Xu Xinge and Wu Jiahui halted, stood on their flying swords, and observed Qi Tian from a distance.

Qi Tian’s two Immortal Slaves saw them stop and became anxious, but dared not show it, merely asking, “Why have you suddenly stopped, sirs? The place where we fought Qi Tian and killed him is right over there.”

Wu Jiahui said, “Sirs, I’ve always been skeptical of your words. You said you mobilized so many Nascent Soul Masters and Gold Core Realm comrades just to deal with one Qi Tian, which should have been an easy task. Yet, you say you paid such a heavy price, claiming everyone but the two of you died in that battle. Isn’t that a bit exaggerated? Too fake? From what I know of Qi Tian, although he’s somewhat capable, he’s rather weak—hardly resembling a master. During the Fire Cloud Secret Realm Battle, I was the team leader, and Qi Tian was under my command. His performance was mediocre at best. He didn’t have a single moment to shine and only appeared cunning because he found a place to hide early on. Otherwise, he’d have been killed long ago. You all should know this, right?”

The two Nascent Soul Masters felt like spitting blood in Wu Jiahui’s face. During the Fire Cloud Secret Realm Battle, under Song He’s commands, they, along with others, had once encircled Wu Jiahui’s team. Wu Jiahui’s performance had been dismal, and they vividly remembered it. What also left a deep impression was Qi Tian’s methods. If Qi Tian couldn’t be called a master, how would Song He and Shi Haoyuan have been killed by him? How could they have been forced, albeit unwillingly, to become Qi Tian’s Immortal Slaves? Wu Jiahui’s eyes must have been incredibly blind, and his insight utterly poor, to describe Qi Tian as weak.

Now, they regretted deeply, only thinking about killing Qi Tian to regain their freedom, and had somehow forgotten how Qi Tian had dealt with them in the Fire Cloud Secret Realm. This had led them to rashly collude with the Ink Flood Dragon Association to target Qi Tian.

“Master Wu, you might have some misunderstandings? Our initial thoughts were the same as yours, believing Qi Tian to be just an ordinary person, albeit a lucky one with some special methods. But it was only when we truly fought that we realized our understanding was wrong.
