The issue with the Tiger Demon had tormented Li Qingping for many years. To track down the Tiger Demon, he had paid countless prices, and it had become his obsession. At that moment, when Qi Tian personally admitted to having a Tiger Demon, Li Qingping didn’t know how excited he was, but this did not make him lose his reason.

By then, he had realized that the Five Spirit Wine he had prepared was simply not capable of trapping Qi Tian. On the contrary, Qi Tian was still playing with him until now. If he continued to believe that he could easily capture Qi Tian just like before, then he was definitely going to suffer a great loss.

“Good, very good. Since you admit it, that’s enough. Qi Tian, I admit I might have underestimated you, but the biggest mistake you made today was to follow me to my lair. This is my home ground, where I’ve put countless efforts. I can’t say it’s impregnable, but as a cage to trap you in, it’s definitely sufficient. Today, this will be your burial place,” he said.

As he spoke these words, Li Qingping might be said to have ground his teeth. Today, he, a dignified Nascent Soul Master, had been repeatedly slapped in the face by Qi Tian, an event that would eternally resonate with humiliation and hatred in his life; not even shattering Qi Tian into ten thousand pieces could wash away the humiliation he had endured.

Qi Tian chuckled, looking unchanged, showing not the slightest fear towards Li Qingping. He said, “This might really be the home ground that you painstakingly created, but are you so certain it will always remain your home ground? Big brother, I must say, you still don’t understand me enough, otherwise you wouldn’t say such a thing.”

Li Qingping had no intention to continue arguing with Qi Tian. His face contorted ferociously as he released a burst of energy from his body, pressing down on Qi Tian like the Netherworld God Mountain descending from the sky. This time, he intended to deliver a full-scale blow to Qi Tian, leaving him no possibility of escape.

It had to be admitted, the energy that Li Qingping released was indeed very powerful, the strongest among all the cultivators Qi Tian had encountered. No wonder he could dominate unchallenged in the realm where Wanjie City was located.

However, Qi Tian had never been scared easily. In past battles, he had encountered many like Li Qingping who hoped to crush him with their aura, and he knew just how to deal with it.

In fact, since the time in the restaurant, Qi Tian had never relaxed his vigilance against Li Qingping, Li Rusen, and others. When Li Qingping brought out the Five Spirit Wine, Qi Tian knew something was wrong with it. He had previously encountered many Spiritual Wines. When he used the Heavenly Dao Engine’s sensory function on Spirit Qi to investigate the Spiritual Wine, he knew exactly what feedback the Spiritual Wine should show. He had detected that Li Qingping had mixed a secret potion in the Five Spirit Wine that could bind Spirit Force. Once drunk, it certainly would bring no good.

But Qi Tian still drank it without hesitation right before Li Qingping, partly because if he didn’t drink it, he wouldn’t know what Li Qingping would do next, and he would miss a good show. Moreover, he was not afraid of any secret potion that Li Qingping could mix into the Five Spirit Wine.

After all, the secret potion was just a type of pill. Since it was a pill, it naturally contained special energy. When Qi Tian drank the Five Spirit Wine, he had already allowed the Heavenly Dao Engine to extract the energy contained in the secret potion from the wine. Without the energy to sustain it, the secret potion was really just like a pinch of dust, and drinking it would do no harm.

As for later, when Qi Tian appeared staggeringly drunk and disoriented, that was purely an act to deceive Li Qingping.

Qi Tian had been somewhat worried that his acting skills were too poor to fool Li Qingping. Who would have thought that although Li Qingping was cautious, he made a terrible move and brought him to the cave dwelling, which was literally inviting the wolf into the house. Unfortunately, until now, Li Qingping had not realized who the real wolf was.

Being able to establish a cave dwelling in a small city near a Holy Land, just this fact alone was enough to prove that Li Qingping, as an old Nascent Soul Master, deserved his dominance over a region. However, a cave dwelling was just a cave dwelling after all; its area was limited. After Qi Tian had activated the Heavenly Dao Engine’s sensing feature for Spirit Qi, everything in Li Qingping’s cave dwelling held no secrets from Qi Tian. He could clearly detect where Li Qingping had set up arrays, where he had placed people, and he could even accurately deduce Li Qingping’s next move and how he should respond, offering no challenge whatsoever.

Li Qingping still didn’t know he had invited the wolf into his house; he thought he had everything under control. He attempted to overpower Qi Tian with his presence, and even though the effect wasn’t as good as expected, he still maintained it.

“Qi Tian, I’ll give you one last chance. If you willingly hand over the Tiger Demon and sever all ties with it, then I might consider not troubling the National Master Manor after I kill you, especially your Sister Liu Yan. You better think this over carefully, as I rarely show mercy outside the law. Typically, those who offend me are eradicated completely, given no chance to make a comeback,” Li Qingping said.

Qi Tian shook his head and said, “Big brother, you’ve got the wrong person. Actually, I should be saying this to you. If you kneel before me, kowtow begging for mercy, and are willing to accept any punishment I deliver, then today I might spare your life.”

At these words, Li Qingping nearly exploded with anger, and he roared, “Qi Tian, you really don’t know how to appreciate favors. If you refuse the chance laid before you, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

With that, Li Qingping started to form a spirit rune with his hands, preparing to launch an attack on Qi Tian.

Qi Tian didn’t dare underestimate Li Qingping, even though he didn’t believe Li Qingping had the capability to kill him; this did not mean he was interested in directly confronting Li Qingping. Given Li Qingping’s ability to intimidate the region for hundreds of years, he definitely was a capable man, and a fight between them would certainly cost Qi Tian a lot.

With a gentle wave of his hand, all the Transporting Whirlwinds flew out of the black hole in his palm, like a swarm of spirit snakes, plunging towards Li Qingping.

Li Qingping hadn’t finished forming his spirit rune when he sharply sensed something was off, but he couldn’t pinpoint the specific issue. Instead of ignoring this odd feeling, he slightly shifted his mind and activated the armor he wore, protecting himself.
