Luo Xia and Hao Wenxi joined forces to kill Chen Zexian, who was at the Half-step Golden Core stage, without daring to take any of his possessions. They brought the corpse and everything on it back to Qi Tian for further handling.

Qi Tian, from the two Spirit Treasure Level weapons of Low Grade that he found in Liu Ziyan’s Storage Bag, gave each one of them one, saying, “You are both in the Pseudo Core Realm now, and you should have excellent weapons. Otherwise, you won’t be able to use your power to its full extent. You can use these two weapons, they should be suitable for your current level.”

Luo Xia and Hao Wenxi were delighted and each took one of the weapons from Qi Tian.

Qi Tian then said, “I originally wanted you two to rest more at the County Master Mansion, but it seems that while we can wait, our enemies can’t. They might send out continuous attacks. Even if we could hold on, I’m afraid that the Imperial Master Mansion might not be able to withstand it. So, both of you have to leave and return to the Imperial Master Mansion as soon as possible. First, close off the Imperial Master Mansion and activate the Defensive Barrier, and deny anyone coming in or out. Secondly, if anyone provokes, remember to handle it discretionarily. The top priority is the preservation of your lives and that of the Imperial Master Mansion.”

Luo Xia nodded, saying, “We will obey your commands.”

Before nodding, Hao Wenxi asked, “What will happen to your safety if we both leave? Two fists are hard to beat four hands. If there are two or three more masters like today, can you handle it? On the other hand, what are you going to do with the Great Elder and Wen Jian? Do you want them to leave with us, or to stay at the County Master Mansion?”

Qi Tian said, “You don’t need to worry about my safety. I have a way to ensure it. However, on your way back, you must not split up. Keep close together because you should be able to reach the Imperial Master Mansion safely as long as you can join forces against the enemy at any time. In regards to the Great Elder and Wen Jian, don’t ask me. Seek their own opinions. If they want to leave, I won’t stop them. If they want to stay, I will welcome them.”

Hao Wenxi and Luo Xia immediately went to find the Great Elder Chen Chen and Wen Jian to ask their opinions. Surprisingly, neither of them wanted to stay at the County Master Mansion. Wen Jian had lost face and his Dantian was already ruined, so he was destined to be a waste for the rest of his life. The Great Elder insisted on leaving because one, he was worried about Wen Jian might do something stupid if left alone, and two, he did not want to be a burden to Qi Tian and cause unnecessary trouble. If he happened to become a tool used by the enemy to threaten Qi Tian, he would be accountable for his actions.

Since the Great Elder and Wen Jian decided to leave, Qi Tian did not stop them. However, how to ensure their safe departure became a problem. Qi Tian was willing to escort them back to the Imperial Master Mansion personally, but was strongly opposed by the Great Elder who insisted on leaving for the very reason of not wanting to be a burden to Qi Tian. If Qi Tian was to accompany them and they got ambushed on the way, their collaborative departure would be meaningless.

Since Wen Jian’s Dantian was ruined, essentially reducing him to a waste, it appeared unlikely that anyone would seek his life, so his safety was relatively not a concern. However, it was different for the Great Elder. Given his remaining strength and status, he was bound to become a thorn in certain people’s sides. Hence, how to ensure the Great Elder’s safety became a matter of attention.

After some thought, Qi Tian decided to give his disguise mask to the Great Elder. He had been holding onto the mask for quite some time, which had helped him through many dangers. Although it still had some uses, it was not of high-grade. It could deceive cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, but was not enough against Gold Core cultivators.

In the future, Qi Tian was bound to confront Gold Core cultivators directly. The disguise mask, thus, did not have much use for him. Instead of keeping it and letting it go to waste, it would be more beneficial to let Great Elder Chen Chen use it. In this critical time, if the Great Elder could stay alive, it would function as a ballast.

The Great Elder gratefully accepted Qi Tian’s gift without declining. He also understood that his health at this stage would lessen the shocks and losses to the Imperial Master Mansion. With the disguise mask, he bid Qi Tian goodbye and left on his own.

As for Hao Wenxi, she carried Wen Jian on her back, tied on firmly, and then set off with Luo Xia. This time, they had to join forces and exert all the power they have at the Pseudo Core Realm stage to return to the Imperial Master Mansion as quickly as possible.

Once the Great Elder and the rest left, tranquility was restored in the County Master Mansion. Qi Tian gathered together Pan Yulin, Wang Shuqing, Guan Xun, Wu Tao, and Zhang Lei. Liu Ziyan and Chen Zexian’s assault made Qi Tian realize that continuing to use the original Four Symbols Array to protect the County Master Mansion was too insecure. If next time, someone brought the Array Control Card again, not openly but when the County Master Mansion was not prepared at all, it could potentially turn the County Master Mansion upside-down.
