Having verified that things were fine on Gao Jinmei’s end, Qi Tian activated the Heavenly Dao Engine once again, utilizing its function of Spirit Qi sensing and detection within the maximum range to search for cultivators, ensuring that no unexpected situations arose.

The reason Qi Tian was able to stir chaos in Chi Huo City, and remained aloof even after the Chi Di cultivators trapped him using Floating Imprisonment Ox Array, was mainly due to his confidence in his own strength and combat power. He believed that the power he possessed and controlled could crush the Chi Di Royal Court and the Cultivation World of the Great Chi Di in the West Court.

Now, the time to make his move was almost at hand, and Qi Tian didn’t want additional complications. If a few more old monsters from the Chi Di cultivators sprung up, if even one more at the Gold Core Middle Stage – which is to say a cultivator at the fourth to sixth level of the Gold Core Stage manifested, it would be enough to cause trouble for Qi Tian. Were one in the Late Gold Core Stage to appear, Qi Tian might even lose his life here.

Qi Tian had to defend against such a situation. While he was in the boundary of the Floating Imprisonment Ox Array, he had used the Heavenly Dao Engine to scan Chi Huo City more than once. Fortunately, he discovered several concealed cultivators at the Gold Core First Level and Half-step Golden Core, but none at the second level of the Gold Core Stage.

Now, as Qi Tian scanned again, he was making a final confirmation out of caution. As he stood on the brink of victory, being excessively careful could only be a good thing.

The size of Chi Huo City was not considerable, Zhangshui City of Great Zhao was larger and more prosperous. The Wolf Guards pushed the Floating Imprisonment Ox Array forward and it took several hours for the boundaries to reach above the Royal Court.

As the Wolf Guards stopped to catch their breath, puffing and panting, Qi Tian continually kept the Heavenly Dao Engine activated. Over the journey, he didn’t come across anything or anyone requiring special attention. Now that they were over the Royal Court, Qi Tian focused the power of the Heavenly Dao Engine, conducting a thorough search. He was certain that if the Chi Di’s Heavenly Khan had any hidden trump cards, they would most likely be concealed within the Royal Court.

Qi Tian’s worry was not unfounded. When he changed the search direction of the Heavenly Dao Engine from horizontal to vertical, he was astonished to discover an underground chamber beneath the Royal Court. Inside the chamber was an entity of considerable Spirit Qi; a person judging by the image relayed back by the Heavenly Dao Engine. His Spirit Qi pulses were significantly stronger than even Gao Jinmei’s.

Gold Core Third Level!

Qi Tian instantly made a nearly accurate judgment. He hadn’t expected that there would be an existence at the Gold Core Third Level within the underground chamber of the Royal Court. This posed a huge security threat. If the Gold Core Third Level cultivator suddenly attacked in the midst of the battle, the outcome could be drastically changed. Now that Qi Tian was aware of his existence, there was nothing to worry about. His side could make pre-emptive adjustments and guard against it.

Qi Tian immediately contacted Gao Jinmei again, informing her of the Gold Core Third Level cultivator he had discovered, as well as the location and number of other Gold Core cultivators and Half-step Gold Core cultivators, allowing her to prepare in advance.

Truthfully, at this point, Qi Tian felt the force he was commanding was a bit thin compared to the Chi Di cultivators. On the Chi Di’s side, among the One Emperor and Six Kings, five were Gold Core cultivators, also counting the Wolf Guards as well as the personal guards brought by the Six Kings, there were over forty at Half-step Golden Core. Apart from them, there were two unaccounted Gold Core cultivators, ten Half-step Gold Core cultivators and the Gold Core Third Level cultivator hiding in the underground chamber. These were the main enemies Qi Tian needed to confront. As for the Qi Cultivation Period and Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators amongst the Chi Di, they could pretty much be ignored, but despite this, the strength of Chi Di was enough to send shivers down Qi Tian’s spine.

Fortunately, Qi Tian was not bereft of strategies to win. He had fighting strength that was equivalent to a cultivator of the Gold Core Third Level. If he pushed the Heavenly Dao Engine to its limit, very few Gold Core Third Level cultivators could stand against him. Gao Jinmei was a genuine Gold Core Third Level cultivator, but she was a killer with lower combat strength among the Gold Core Third Level cultivators. However, Gao Jinmei had outstanding burst strength, so it was no surprise she nearly instantly killed Master Helian. Besides, Wang Youjun and Jin Jin, the two Gold Core cultivators with Qi Tian, could at least neutralize two Gold Core cultivators from the Chi Di’s side.

Beyond that, Qi Tian also had several tricks up his sleeve, which could give the Chi Di a big surprise once unleashed. Now, with everything ready, Qi Tian was just waiting for the right moment to give the Chi Di a great surprise.

The Royal Court held the same level of status amongst the Chi Di as the imperial palace did in Great Zhao. Its area was vast, about one-fifth the size of Chi Huo City, located in the center, facing south.

At this moment, outside the Wumen gate of the Royal Court, a large array had been set up. Fifty Array Flags were inserted into the ground. The crisscrossing array lines crossed with complex and changing array symbols, forming a large formation designed to assimilate Qi Tian – the Netherworld Fierce Fire Formation.
