Xu Yanpeng, that was the name of the imposter mansion master. Qi Tian turned over the belongings of the imposter mansion master, other than finding more than tens of thousands of middle-grade spirit stones and hundreds of top-grade spirit stones, he also found a large amount of pills, talismans, and so on. But what interested Qi Tian the most were two things. One was a technique named “Tiangang Transformation”.

Xu Yanpeng was able to deceive thousands of people in the Imperial Master Mansion using this technique, which was a more sophisticated method of disguise than “Heavenly Deception Skills”. It could change various physical attributes of the user. When practiced to a high level, even spirit force fluctuations and realms could be perfectly imitated. Xu Yanpeng only practiced to the first peak of the Tiangang Transformation, yet it had miraculous effects, showing how powerful Tiangang Transformation was.

The other thing that greatly interested Qi Tian was a card. This was the third similar card that Qi Tian had collected, the first two were left by Liu Ziyan and Meng Fandong. Other than the different numbers on these cards, there were no other differences, at least Qi Tian couldn’t see any with his current abilities.

The appearance of this card made Qi Tian profoundly aware of something. Someone in Great Zhao must have a very close connection with the origin of these cards. He must take action to cut off this connection, otherwise, troubles would never end in the future. Qi Tian was able to kill three Gold Core powerhouses, not only because he was strong, but it also involved a considerable amount of luck. He couldn’t hope that luck would always stand on his side. What if there was one day when he was out of luck? That would spell big trouble for him.

Qi Tian held the three cards and looked at them for a long time, but he couldn’t figure out any peculiarities about these three cards. He could only put the cards away for now and find someone who could understand them to ask later. The ones that Qi Tian could think of who might know were in Wanjie City, which means he has to go to Wanjie City again. However, before going, Qi Tian planned to practice Tiangang Transformation for a while. His foundation in Wanjie City was too weak, and there was still some people there who had a grudge against him; disguising himself cleverly could help him avoid a lot of troubles.

Once he decided, Qi Tian started to practice the Tiangang Transformation right away. Qi Tian was very gifted in cultivation and had high comprehension. After overcoming the initial stage’s hurdle, he began to understand the subtlety of Tiangang Transformation after a few days.

While Qi Tian was in closed-door cultivation, Hao Wenxi intercepted Great Grand Elder Chen Chen before he reached Capital City. At first, Great Elder Chen Chen didn’t believe it and thought Hao Wenxi was joking with him. After all, the decision to go to Capital City and hand over the spirit stone veins to the court for free was made by Mansion Master Xiao Xiaowu. Even if Hao Wenxi managed to reach the pseudo-core realm, she should still stand behind Mansion Master Xiao Xiaowu.

No matter how Hao Wenxi explained, Great Elder Chen Chen wouldn’t listen, and he didn’t believe that the Mansion Master was an imposter, fabricated by an outsider, as Hao Wenxi claimed. Accepting this was especially challenging for Great Elder Chen Chen because he had followed Mansion Master Xiao Xiaowu the longest, and the trust Mansion Master Xiao Xiaowu had in him was substantial. The imposter mansion master was even brought back from the capital by him. If he admitted that the mansion master was an imposter, it would mean he not only betrayed the trust of Mansion Master Xiao Xiaowu, Qi Tian, and everyone else in Imperial Master Mansion, his judgement would also be questionable.

Seeing that Great Elder Chen Chen was stubbornly unconvinced, Hao Wenxi had to control Great Elder Chen Chen first and then sent a message to Imperial Master Mansion, having the lord and elders of Imperial Master Mansion send message paper cranes to Great Elder Chen Chen, telling him the truth. One by one, dozens of message paper cranes flew across Great Elder Chen Chen. All carried almost identical messages, corresponding well with what Hao Wenxi said. They all revealed the harsh reality that he, Great Elder Chen Chen, had invited an imposter mansion master back. If it wasn’t for Qi Tian’s insightful eyes and his brave actions, the Imperial Master Mansion might have faced a catastrophic disaster, and he, Great Elder Chen Chen, would have become the eternal sinner of the Imperial Master Mansion.

Great Elder Chen Chen looked as if he had aged overnight. He dedicated all his heart and soul to Imperial Master Mansion, never slacking off for a moment. But his performances in recent times has been abysmal; he failed to protect the interests of Imperial Master Mansion in terms of martial prowess and made many personal failures. When people in Imperial Master Mansion resisted Qi Tian’s command and leadership, he couldn’t step forward to uphold Qi Tian’s authority. He even went to Qi Tian to ask for the incredibly precious Pseudo-True Pill for Wen Jian. This time he even brought back an imposter mansion master, almost causing a catastrophic disaster. All these instilled in him a deep sense of shame.

Seeing Great Elder Chen Chen like this, Hao Wenxi didn’t feel any better. In some ways, she doesn’t fare much better than Great Elder Chen Chen. In the past, she stood with Qi Tian, but this time, when Qi Tian needed her and Luo Xia the most, she led the assault on County Master Mansion. If it wasn’t for the robust Four Symbols Array that County Master Mansion used, and the interference of Lu Jingfei and others, it was dreaded to imagine the grave consequences if they breached the defensive barrier of the Four Symbols Array and let the imposter mansion master escape.
