Upon seeing Qi Tian approaching them, the two Nascent Soul Masters couldn’t help but shudder uncontrollably. They had witnessed the entirety of the battle and Qi Tian’s endless array of techniques had filled them with both awe and fear. Now they were extremely worried that Qi Tian would go back on his word and casually slaughter them both, as only by doing so could he ensure they would forever keep the secrets of today.

Qi Tian stopped in his tracks, and the two Nascent Soul Masters hastily greeted him with a respectful “Master.” The mere two words, each heavy as a thousand pounds, left their mouths with parched throats and hearts filled with panic and chaos.

A faint smile appeared on the corners of Qi Tian’s mouth as he looked at the two Nascent Soul Masters and spoke indifferently, “You look rather frightened. Why? Are you worried I will kill you to silence you?”

The two Nascent Soul Masters quickly shook their heads. They were indeed very concerned that Qi Tian might kill them, but how could they dare to admit it to his face?

Qi Tian dismissively waved his hand and said, “Regardless of what you’re thinking, I have no interest in knowing. The task I assigned to you has been completed satisfactorily. I am pleased, and since I am, I will also ensure that you are satisfied. According to our prior agreement, I will now let you go. However, I must remind you that with Xu Xinge and Wu Jiahui killed, the Ink Flood Dragon Association will certainly not rest. If you don’t want to invite trouble, you had better run far away, to a place where the Ink Flood Dragon Association can’t find you, the farther the better. That’s all I have to say, you may go now.”

Not believing their luck, the two Nascent Soul Masters looked at Qi Tian and carefully inquired, “Master, are you truly letting us go just like this?”

Impatiently, Qi Tian gestured for them to leave as if shooing away an annoying fly, saying, “Get lost, leave my sight immediately. If you don’t go now, I might change my mind.”

The two Nascent Soul Masters dared not say another word and turned to leave quickly.

Watching as they scampered away like dogs that had lost their homes, Qi Tian shook his head. He then circled the site of the recent battle, using the Heavenly Dao Engine’s ability to sense Spirit Qi, wiping clean all traces related to him, before casually departing the area.

At the time when Qi Tian killed Xu Xinge and Wu Jiahui, a sudden disturbance arose amidst the upper echelons of the Ink Flood Dragon Association, located thousands of miles away. Two life tablets hanging in the Ancestral Hall suddenly shattered; the two Nascent Soul Masters, Xu Xinge and Wu Jiahui, had perished without a trace, causing an uproar among the upper ranks of the Ink Flood Dragon Association. Vice-chairman Zhang Chenghua was especially furious. While others might not have known how Xu Xinge and Wu Jiahui died, he was acutely aware. According to the timing, they should have been besieging Qi Tian at that moment. How come the news of Qi Tian’s death hadn’t arrived, yet the two of them were the ones dead? Could it be that Qi Tian was too powerful? But that didn’t make sense—Qi Tian was just a common cultivator of the Gold Core Realm, and even though he was the youngest to reach the Perfect Gold Core Stage in the history of Wanjie City, he didn’t have the capability to kill two seasoned Nascent Soul Masters. Did they encounter an accident, or was there a powerful figure supporting Qi Tian?

The atmosphere within the Ink Flood Dragon Association suddenly turned tense, and even Wanjie City felt a certain impact. However, the high ranks of the Ink Flood Dragon Association quickly reached a consensus; they would not publicize the deaths of Xu Xinge and Wu Jiahui. The Ink Flood Dragon Association still managed to maintain their glory as the No.1 power in Wanjie City, not only due to the countless years of accumulated heritage but also the numerous Nascent Soul Masters within their ranks, which was an essential force. If word got out that the Ink Flood Dragon Association had lost two Nascent Soul Masters, their reputation would surely suffer a great blow.

The Ink Flood Dragon Association quietly dispatched personnel to investigate the news of Xu Xinge and Wu Jiahui’s deaths, hoping to uncover the true cause of the demise of the two Nascent Soul Masters. However, this matter would inevitably take a lot of time, as it couldn’t be thoroughly investigated overnight.

Although Qi Tian had killed Xu Xinge and Wu Jiahui, he was not feeling pleased. Not because he hadn’t managed to kill Zhang Chenghua, the real mastermind, nor because he had offended the Ink Flood Dragon Association, but because he had left Wanjie City in high spirits to seize the opportunity to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage, only to end up with nothing at all in the end.

After some thought, Qi Tian didn’t rush to return to Wanjie City. Since he could no longer find opportunities there, it might be better to look elsewhere in the Sacred Cultivation Places. The first place that came to his mind was Sui’an City. Although he had never been there, he had a foundation in Sui’an City; in the Fiery Cloud Secret Realm, he had taken in quite a few Nascent Soul Masters as his Immortal Slaves, all of them from Sui’an City. If he went there, he wouldn’t have to worry about a lack of reception. But then again, he dismissed that idea, because due to his actions, Sui’an City had lost control of the Fiery Cloud Secret Realm. The cultivator sects in Sui’an City must hate him to the bone, and going there now would likely be a one-way trip.
