Chapter 637: Chapter 0414: Destroying the Royal Court (10)_2 Chapter 637: Chapter 0414: Destroying the Royal Court (10)_2 “Leave now. Instead of worrying whether Qi Tian could break through the array, you should worry about that female Gold Core. If she pops up and causes a disturbance when I am supervising the refining of Qi Tian, I will definitely punish you all,” The Heavenly Khan commanded coldly.

Despite their reluctance, the Left Virtuous King and the Right Virtuous King had no better idea and could only accept the order unwillingly.

“West Court and North Palace, follow me.” The Heavenly Khan stood tall and walked out of the Royal Court, stepping on air, and flew into the sky.

The West Court King and the North Palace King followed hurriedly. Neither of them was capable of physical flight and could only keep pace with the Heavenly Khan with the help of their respective favorites.

Soon, they left the Royal Court and reached the Floating Imprisonment Ox Array. The Chi Di cultivators flying in the sky all bowed and lowered their heads in respect to the Heavenly Khan on his arrival. The Wolf Guards assigned here kneeled down in the air, their eyes fanatically fixed on the Heavenly Khan.

These Wolf Guards were able to achieve the half-step Gold Core due to the large resources invested by the Heavenly Khan. However, that was not the reason they fanatically supported the Heavenly Khan. He planted Slave Marks in each of their consciousness, a type of suppression like a god’s towards devoted believers, unlike Qi Tian’s which allowed people like Gao Jinmei and Jin Jin some independence of thought.

The Heavenly Khan ignored these insignificant characters in his eyes. Perhaps on any other day, he would put on a show of false modesty to demonstrate his royal demeanor, but now, his only focus was plundering all Qi Tian’s secrets as quickly as possible. Everything else was unimportant.

The Heavenly Khan walked straight up to the outer barrier of the Floating Imprisonment Ox Array. Because of the additional barriers enforced by the Chi Di cultivators on the original one, it was no longer possible to see clearly what was going on inside, though a faint outline could still be seen.

The Heavenly Khan peered into the barrier. Wang Youjun and Jin Jin sensed the Heavenly Khan’s presence and turned to look at him. But the Heavenly Khan’s attention was not on these two Gold Core experts, whom he considered as good as dead already. Why bother with them? He just wanted to take a good look at Qi Tian, to see what this young man who had upset the Chi Di was truly like.

The Heavenly Khan could only see Qi Tian’s side profile. This side face looked so young, yet was distinct with a hint of perseverance. Expressing such a demeanor, even the Heavenly Khan could not help but secretly praise. If Qi Tian were not from Great Zhao but born among their Chi Di, he would have nurtured him at any cost. It’s a pity that Qi Tian is not of their own, how could he possibly leave such a huge risk?

“West Court, North Palace, both of you come and take a look at Qi Tian. Then tell me your impressions,” the Heavenly Khan said.

The West Court King and North Palace King also followed the Heavenly Khan’s example, leaning on the barrier and looking inside. They quickly caught a glimpse of Qi Tian. Like the Heavenly Khan, they could only see Qi Tian’s side face due to their standing positions.

The West Court King and the North Palace King had already received the news that Qi Tian was a young man. However, they didn’t expect Qi Tian to be so young, barely 20 years old perhaps. Such a young man, young enough to be their grandson, had run wild all the way and barged into Chi Huo City, killing two Gold Core experts Master Helian and Master Ju, and subjugating two Gold Core experts, Wang Youjun and Jin Jin. It was as improbable as a fairytale.

“What do you think?” the Heavenly Khan asked.

The West Court King lowered his head and said, “Heavenly Khan, I am ashamed. When I look at Qi Tian, I feel as if I have lived my entire life as a dog.”

The North Palace King then said, “Qi Tian is so young, yet shocking and monstrous. This kind of person must not be allowed to continue in this world. Otherwise, he will certainly be a great threat to us Chi Di.”

“He is already a great threat to us Chi Di now.” The Heavenly Khan sneered, “This time, both of you must assist me and bring out all our hidden forces to refine Qi Tian. We absolutely cannot give him any chance to escape. Otherwise, not only will I face danger, but you and our entire Chi Di tribe may fall victim to his malicious attacks.”

The West Court King and North Palace King knew that the Heavenly Khan was warning them, so they dared not say anything and quickly agreed.

The Heavenly Khan commanded in a deep voice, “Wolf Guards, hear my orders. I command you to move the Floating Imprisonment Ox Array to the Royal Court together.”

“As you command.” The Wolf Guards stood up thunderously, occupying different positions around the Floating Imprisonment Ox Array. They each placed their hands on the barrier, and then exerted force through their arms onto the barrier.

Initially, the Floating Imprisonment Ox Array hung above Chi Huo City, as if rooted in place. No matter how many people tried or how strong the winds were, they could not make it move at all. But now, with the concerted efforts of the Wolf Guards, the Floating Imprisonment Ox Array began to move slowly, creaking like an old, rusted ox cart.

The Floating Imprisonment Ox Array felt as if it weighed millions of pounds. Even though each Wolf Guard was at the Half-step Golden Core strength, and there were quite a few of them, the Array still moved extremely slowly. On one hand, it was due to the immense weight of the Array itself, which was necessary for trapping people. On the other hand, they had to be extremely careful when moving the array. The slightest carelessness could damage the Array from the outside and leave it wide open for Qi Tian to break free.

Wang Youjun and Jin Jin, who were trapped within the array, quickly noticed the movements of the Wolf Guards. They quickly stopped their assault and went to Qi Tian’s side. “Master, this is bad. The Heavenly Khan of Chi Di has begun to take action. It seems that they are truly preparing to refine us.”

Qi Tian calmly responded, “Understood. You two should rest for a bit. If you don’t rest now, you may not get another chance to do so later.”

Wang Youjun and Jin Jin couldn’t help but force a bitter smile. They assumed Qi Tian was hinting that they would be able to rest indefinitely after the refining process. With a hint of hope, they asked, “Master, what about the female Gold Core cultivator who came with you? She chased after Mi Chilian, why hasn’t she returned yet? Has she gone to seek reinforcements?”

Qi Tian replied, “You don’t need to concern yourselves with Gao Jinmei. All that you need to know is that your master, me, cherishes his life greatly. Do you think I would risk my life recklessly? Take my orders and rest now. You’ll be busy soon.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Youjun and Jin Jin harbored some hope. Although they still had doubts, what they could do at this time was to trust Qi Tian. They each found a spot next to Qi Tian and began to meditate and recover their depleted True Essence. Several days of relentless assault on the Array’s barrier had taken its toll on them physically and mentally. Now was the perfect opportunity to restore their strength.

Qi Tian, using the Slave Mark he had imprinted in Gao Jinmei’s Sea of Consciousness, connected with her and made sure that she had followed his instructions and made the necessary arrangements.
