“Master, which one shall we chase?” Deng Chuanliang looked at the black-robed woman and the array masters fleeing in all directions in the sky, asking for Qi Tian’s instruction. He himself preferred to chase and kill those array masters whose power was the weakest. However, when they joined forces, their combined power was somewhat astonishing. If Qi Tian hadn’t been there today, he would have been trapped inside the Antithetic Four Symbols Array, with only death waiting for him.

Qi Tian’s gaze was fixated on the black-robed woman. Compared to Deng Chuanliang, the threat of the array masters to him was minimal. On the other hand, the black-robed woman posed a greater threat. If they were to meet one-on-one, Qi Tian would be sending his head to her on a platter. Although the conflict this time was incited by the black-robed woman, her plan wasn’t executed. The Antithetic Four Symbols Array she had heavily invested in was broken, and for sure she must hate Qi Tian to the core. She would definitely see Qi Tian as an enemy she must kill quickly, rather than peacefully distancing herself from him.

For Qi Tian, she was like a timed bomb that could explode at any moment, the kind that would hardly spare him once detonated. For such destabilizing factors, Qi Tian had always adhered to one principle: if he could kill a minute early, he would never delay a second.

“Deng, if I bring you to catch up with her, what’s your confidence in killing her?” Qi Tian kept staring at the black-robed woman.

Deng Chuanliang said, “Master, don’t joke. Her spirit vessel isn’t of a low grade, and she’s already flown so far away. It’s impossible for us to catch up.”

“Whether we can catch up or not, you don’t need to worry. I’m just asking you, what’s your confidence in killing her?” Qi Tian repeated the question.

Without any delay, Deng Chuanliang blurted out, “I have at most 20% confidence.”

“20%? That’s not too bad. Deng, I’ll take you to chase her right now. If we can kill her today, I can reduce 30 years off our master-servant agreement.” Qi Tian made a promise that Deng Chuanliang couldn’t refuse.

Deng Chuanliang’s eyes lit up and he began to breathe heavily. Not content with being Qi Tian’s servant, he was willing to compete if he could reduce his servitude under Qi Tian. “Okay, master. As long as you can lead me to catch up with her, I’ll risk my life today to kill her.”

“I’ve been waiting for those words. Let’s go.” Qi Tian waved his hand and released the Xianhe bronze statue. This time, he put a top-grade spirit stone into the spirit stone slot of the Xianhe bronze statue. With a spirit rune cast, he and Deng Chuanliang flew straight after the black-robed woman.

Deng Chuanliang was extremely surprised by the speed of the Xianhe bronze statue. He never thought that Qi Tian would have such a powerful flying artifact. It was extremely valuable, and none of the Gold Core powerhouses he knew had such an artifact.

Deng Chuanliang was beginning to find it more and more difficult to understand his master- Qi Tian. He had too many good things in his hands, didn’t he? Both the Locust Thief Bees and the Xianhe bronze statue were extremely coveted.

After the top-grade spirit stone was installed on the Xianhe bronze statue, its speed increased significantly, gradually narrowing the distance between Qi Tian and the black-robed woman. Of course, if the best-grade spirit stones could be used, the speed would be even faster. But that wasn’t necessary. The current speed was good enough.

“Deng, leave the chasing part to me. You get ready now. We’ll need you in the battle later.” Qi Tian ordered.

Deng Chuanliang immediately responded. He sat on the back of the Xianhe bronze statue, cast a spell, and began to unravel the restrictions on his body, releasing his tightly bound cultivation realm. The reason he suppressed his Gold Core Third Level to Gold Core First Level was not without reason, and not only to hide from the slave traders in Wanjie City. The main reason was his personal issue: there was something wrong with his meridians, and he couldn’t withstand the power of Gold Core Third Level for a long time. Having no alternative, he chose to suppress his cultivation.

This time, in order to reduce his servitude by thirty years, Deng Chuanliang didn’t care about that much. As long as he could kill the black-robed woman, he should be able to plead for some time from Qi Tian, possibly even cultivation resources to minimize the damage to his meridians.

Since the moment the black-robed woman started to flee the Marquis Manor, she hadn’t looked back. But her not looking back didn’t mean nobody was watching this. Other than her, there was another person on her spirit vessel, Marquis Ma, the person Crown Prince Sun Xingbiao had repeatedly stressed to rescue.

According to Sun Xingbiao, Qi Tian had been threatening and bribing the royal and noble families over this time period, forcing many to sign an edict against the Crown Prince, which greatly undermined his prestige. In Sun Xingbiao’s view, these royals and nobles succumbed because they felt the court failed to ensure their safety. Therefore, they had no choice but to submit to Qi Tian. If they could safely return Marquis Ma, then they could send a strong signal to the other royal and noble families of Great Zhao- that the court could protect their safety and they shouldn’t yield to Qi Tian’s threat. Undoubtedly, it would greatly boost the confidence of the Crown Prince’s supporters.
