This time, Deng Chuanliang didn’t wait for Qi Tian’s command. He waved his sleeve and a gust of wind of energy shot out like a heavy hammer. It struck the old servant, causing him to scream and be thrown backwards. He hit the wall, spat a mouthful of blood, and slid down like a heap of mud.

“Where is Prince Duan? Come out and meet me.” Qi Tian had made up his mind to turn things upside down, so he no longer bothered to keep up the appearance of politeness.

Prince Duan had hidden himself upon realizing the situation was dire and dared not reveal himself now.

Qi Tian used the Heavenly Dao Engine to scan Prince Duan Manor, successfully locating the hiding place of Prince Duan. It was the most heavily concentrated place of Spirit Qi in the entire manor, deep underground – presumably the safest place in the manor.

Qi Tian pointed to a palace and said to Deng Chuanliang, “Tear down that building. Prince Duan is hiding underground.”

Deng Chuanliang replied, “Master, why waste time on such a trivial matter? I can flatten the entire building and the underground chamber with a single slap. Everyone inside will die.”

Qi Tian replied, “I can’t let Prince Duan die just like that. I want him to understand why he must die, and I want all of Great Zhao to know the reason behind his death.”

“Very well.” Seeing Qi Tian insisting, Deng Chuanliang did not say anything more. Instead, he extended his hand towards the palace. The palace, with a space of hundreds of square meters, was like made of paper to Deng Chuanliang. He uprooted the whole building effortlessly, revealing a chaotic scene on the ground. Another grab from Deng Chuanliang dug out the foundation, along with more than a meter of the ground, revealing a pitch-black hole.

The guards of Prince Duan Manor watched everything with a terrified heart. In spite of having cultivators as their escorts, their awe for them was nothing compared to what Deng Chuanliang was demonstrating. No one could possibly resist this god-like power.

“Prince Duan, get out here. I am counting to five. If you do not appear, I will flood your hole with water from the garden pond. If you think your skills are beyond those of a turtle, then continue hiding.” Qi Tian’s voice was calm, but his message was crystal clear.

“Immortal, spare me, I’m coming out.”

At this point, Prince Duan dared not hide any longer, and crawled out of the hole tremblingly.

“Immortal, I don’t know where I’ve offended you, please enlighten me. I’m willing to compensate for your loss ten-fold.”

Prince Duan was less than a year older than Prince Zhao, but if they stood side by side, they would look to be of two different ages. Prince Zhao looked like a hard-working old farmer, whereas Prince Duan looked extravagantly rich and healthy. His opulent life made him look at least ten years younger than Prince Zhao.

“Prince Duan, lift your head and see who I am,” Qi Tian said coldly.

Prince Duan raised his head and looked up. He first saw a large bronze crane hovering in the sky, then saw two men standing on the back of the crane. One looked young, yet exuded a compelling aura. The other was an old man who stood honorably next to the youth like a servant.

“Immortal, forgive my poor sight. I can’t recognize which immortal you are. Please provide your name,” Prince Duan humbled himself greatly. If his followers were present, he would still maintain his lofty demeanor and address himself as “this prince”. But right now, he could only refer to himself as “I”.

Qi Tian replied, “Allow me to introduce myself, I am Qi Tian from the Imperial Master Mansion.”

Upon hearing this, Prince Duan was startled. In recent times, Qi Tian had been his nightmare. After Qi Tian disrupted his plan to please Chen Wenbo, a cultivator at the half-step Golden Core stage, he heard that even Prince Zhao’s experts had met their defeat at Qi Tian’s hands. Most terrifying was the forced abdication of King Zhangbei Zhao Donghao under Qi Tian’s dominant hand, leaving even his beloved son unprotected.

Prince Duan feared that Zhao Donghao’s fate would be his own tomorrow. He wanted to seek a mediator between him and Qi Tian, but hesitated due to Prince Zhao’s attitude and his own dignity. To his surprise, Qi Tian showed up at his doorstep today.

Prince Duan found it hard to swallow his saliva. He attempted to compose himself and said, “I did not know Master Qi Tian would arrive personally, I apologize for not greeting you sooner.”

Qi Tian blandly replied, “Apology? Prince Duan, do you think your crimes can be pardoned? For your mining operation, you destroyed several villages and enslaved their people. Many residents lost their lives and families because of your decision. Your sins have incited public outrage. There is no forgiveness for you.”

Prince Duan hurriedly said, “Master, this is a misunderstanding! My subordinates took matters into their own hands, they wanted to please me. I’ve realized my mistake. I want to compensate them!”

Qi Tian shook his head, “It’s too late for anything you say now. According to the laws of Great Zhao, I hereby sentence you to death by beheading, to be executed immediately.”

Prince Duan was panicked, “Qi Tian, you are just a county master. What gives you the right to sentence me to death? I am a son of the current emperor, and the crown prince is my brother. Whether I am guilty or not, it is not up to you.”
