Qi Tian quickly realized that it was almost impossible for him to meet with Wang Na, partly because the time of the opening of the space gate was drawing near. Both the National Master Manor and Wanjie Commerce stringently regulated their cultivators to prevent them from breaking away from the main force and affecting the squadron’s timing through the space gate. The other reason was the sea of people. As long as Qi Tian and Wang Na stayed in their original teams, they would be fine. But once they left the main force and approached each other, they would undoubtedly attract attention. If there happened to be spies planted by Cheng Daoran amongst these observant individuals, it would prove disastrous for both Qi Tian and Wang Na.

Qi Tian had no choice but to put his intention aside temporarily and wait for the right opportunity.

Suddenly, someone shouted, “They’ve started fighting! Ghost God Temple and Bear Paw Group are clashing!”

Qi Tian hurriedly peered outside the camp. The entrances of the camps were in chaos, with cultivators from the Ghost God Temple and the Bear Paw Group activating their protective boundaries and inscriptions on their magical items. Several quick reactors had slyly cast their spells. Meanwhile, both Ghost God Temple and Bear Paw Group sent out signals ordering their disciples to stand guard.

Wan Xiaolan and Lin Youbi watched the scene with sneers. “Let the dogs bite each other, how gratifying,” Wan Xiaolan said. “Pass on the order. Let them do their thing while we stay out of it. Also, remind everyone to remain on guard and protect themselves to avoid accidental injuries from their skirmishes.”

Including Wanjie Commerce, each power’s main force erected defensive arrays, with various boundaries appearing to provide necessary protection.

At that moment, the sky fluctuated with energy. A patch of sky lit up with flashes of lightning.

“The space gate is about to open.”

Everyone looked up to see a massive black hole in the sky. Through the black hole, they could faintly catch a glimpse of another world.

Before anyone on the secret realm side could react, several cultivators flew from the black hole. One was heading straight for the National Master Manor group.

Qi Tian’s eyes narrowed as he recognized the person, none other than Cheng Daoran, who had been fixated on Huang Liuyan. Daoran was not subtle about his possessive desire for Huang Liuyan, even risking disappearing under the Heaven and Earth Rules within the secret realm. Qi Tian didn’t know how to describe such a person. But one thing was certain, with Cheng Daoran showing up, Qi Tian’s chance of getting close to Huang Liuyan was squashed sharply.

Qi Tian’s attention turned to the other cultivators who flew in. They were all like Cheng Daoran with specific targets. Among them, one was a Golden Core cultivator from Wanjie Commerce who had a much higher status and cultivation level than Wan Xiaolan and Lin Youbi, reaching the Gold Core Middle Stage. Though at that time, he used forbidden techniques to suppress his cultivation to the Half-step Golden Core stage.

After a simple exchange between Wan Xiaolan, Lin Youbi, and the newly arrived Half-step Golden Core, Wan Xiaolan gave the command for all to return to Wanjie City. Then the trio took the lead, flying toward the space gate. The cultivators from Wanjie Commerce and those hired all rose into the air and followed suit.

With the departure of Wanjie Commerce’s cultivators, the rest of the forces in Wanjie City took off, passing through the space gate one by one. Even the Ghost God Temple and the Bear Paw Group halted their clash under the suppression of the newly arrived Half-step Golden Core and left one after another. It was evident that they had become sworn enemies. One could only wonder what sort of sabotage they would enact on each other back in Wanjie City.

Having returned to Wanjie City safely from the space gate, Qi Tian breathed a sigh of relief. With no threat from the native cultivators in the secret realm, his enormous harvest from the realm was finally secure.

Upon returning to Wanjie City, Wan Xiaolan undid the seal on himself, restoring his cultivation to the Gold Core First Level. The pressure exerted by his transforming into a Golden Core was so intense that the hundred or so cultivators nearby dared not raise their heads to look at him.

Wan Xiaolan was pleased with this outcome. He announced loudly, “Listen up, everyone, whether you were originally from Wanjie Commerce or were hired by us, since we’re back, you must follow the rules. We will return to Wanjie Commerce together later for the handover. After paying your share, the rest is yours. I believe we’re all sensible people. Don’t do anything foolish.”

Wan Xiaolan was reminding anyone with dubious intentions to stick to their agreement with Wanjie Commerce and dutifully split the earnings. They should not think of leaving with the spirit stones mined from the secret realm.

Aside from those fearless of death, hardly anyone dared to challenge the power of Wanjie Commerce in Wanjie City. Virtually everyone complied and followed Wan Xiaolan towards Wanjie Commerce. Some of these flying sailboats serving as transportation once again. Despite the three Golden Core powerhouses capable of returning before everyone else, they chose to stay and watch over the sailboats to prevent any sneak attacks. If a single sailboat were to be stolen, the loss for Wanjie Commerce could reach at least a few million low-grade spirit stones. Even with their deep pockets, Wanjie Commerce could not ignore such a massive loss.
