Chapter 653: Chapter 0422 Warning_2 Chapter 653: Chapter 0422 Warning_2 However, based on the information collected by Bu Jianerti, determining a specific burial site, going to a suspected location, uncovering the real location, then excavating the items buried there would be a considerably time-consuming process. And this was just one location. Bu Jianerti had compiled information on almost seventy potential sites. Investigating them all would be tremendously time-consuming.

Qi Tian was in desperate need of time. He had a mountain of matters to attend to in Great Zhao. His visit to Chi Di Kingdom was a spur of the moment decision which had already led to a few days of delay. He didn’t know whether any mishaps had occurred in Great Zhao during this time.

Qi Tian had made up his mind; he could not linger in Chi Di any longer. He needed to first settle the affairs in Great Zhao and bring all disputes to a resolution. Only then would he have enough time to search for the burial site of Chi Di Heavenly Khan.

Just then, Gao Jinmei returned looking somewhat beleaguered with Wang Xiuwu and Xu Jifa. Both of them were in the Pseudo Core Realm and a married couple. They had been deployed to support their counterparts, but the Chi Di Wolf Guards weren’t pushovers—they were well-trained, coordinated, and fearlessly ferocious. They had circled Wang Xiuwu and Xu Jifa. By the time Gao Jinmei reached the couple, they were barely hanging on, standing firm only by sheer willpower until Gao Jinmei could reinforce them.

When Wang Xiuwu and Xu Jifa saw Qi Tian, they appeared guilty. Qi Tian had summoned Deng Chuanliang, Lu Jingfei, as well as the couple from Great Zhao. Everyone else had performed quite commendably, but this couple had fallen short.

“Master, my husband and I failed in our duties and nearly ruined your good plans. Please punish us as you see fit,” Wang Xiuwu apologized willingly to Qi Tian.

Qi Tian waved his hand and said, “It’s no big deal. You both managed to hold off a group of Wolf Guards. Although the result was not ideal, your struggle is commendable. Let’s write off achievements against shortcomings.”

Wang Xiuwu and Xu Jifa quickly thanked Qi Tian.

Qi Tian waved his hand, gesturing for them to rise and said, “There is one thing I wish to discuss with you both. The matters in Chi Di have almost been taken care of, and it’s about time for us to return to Great Zhao. However, although we are returning, not all of us will go back. Some must stay here permanently.”

“How do we stay permanently?” Wang Xiuwu asked.

Qi Tian said, “The National Master Manor exists in both Great Zhao and Chi Di. However, while we have three in Zhao, Chi Di only has one. If someone has to stay, they will have to reside in the National Master Manor of Chi Di, representing the highest authority in Chi Di. You two can discuss whether you want to become the National Master of Chi Di.”

Wang Xiuwu glanced at her husband Xu Jifa. Having been married for so many years, they often shared the same perspective on many issues. At this moment, Xu Jifa shook his head at Wang Xiuwu, indicating his reluctance to stay in Chi Di as a prestigious National Master.

“Master, if this is not a mandatory order, Jifa and I would like to kindly decline. You are well aware of our situation. We don’t have many resources, and if we were to become National Masters here, it would be difficult for us to gather trustworthy manpower. Moreover, our powers are relatively weak, and we may not be able to keep the cultivators of Chi Di in check. Most importantly, we cannot bear to be away from you for too long. We desire to learn from your teachings frequently. If we become Chi Di’s National Masters, wouldn’t all these become a distant dream?” Wang Xiuwu listed their reasons.

Qi Tian nodded and said, “This is voluntary. Since you are not willing, let’s leave it at that.”

Seeing that Qi Tian did not appear angry, Xu Jifa and Wang Xiuwu sighed in relief. They were truly afraid Qi Tian would give them a definitive order—in which case they would have no choice but to comply with Qi Tian’s arrangements.

Qi Tian waved his hand and Wang Xiuwu and Xu Jifa quickly withdrew to one side, standing beside Gao Jinmei. They took out a spirit stone and began to replenish their expended energy.

After a while, Bu Jianerti, who had been dispatched by Qi Tian to gather the Chi Di cultivators, brought a group of people over.

More than half of these people were Chi Di cultivators, and only a few were not. They were actually quite resistant to meeting with Qi Tian and would have preferred to avoid him altogether if they could, but with the traitorous Bu Jianerti amongst them, who knew their situations all too well, they had no choice but to reluctantly appear. They dared not disobey Bu Jianerti’s command, for was his Gold Core First Level cultivation realm something to be trifled with? Especially now, when the entire One Emperor and Six Kings of Chi Di had been killed, Bu Jianerti’s power had skyrocketed many times over.

Previously, when the Heavenly Khan was in power, the One Emperor and Six Kings were suppressing the Chi Di Cultivation World from speaking up, with even the Gold Core powerhouses like Bu Jianerti holding back some. But now, no one could suppress Bu Jianerti anymore.

Bu Jianerti came to Qi Tian, bowed and said, “Master, I have fulfilled your command. You asked me to bring no fewer than a hundred cultivators here. Once I found them, I brought them to you.”

Qi Tian nodded. He had just used the Heavenly Dao Engine to appraise these cultivators, but none of them had caught his discerning eye.

Qi Tian didn’t feel like exchanging pleasantries with them. He said, “Let’s save time and cut to the chase. You should already know that all the One Emperor and Six Kings of Chi Di are done for. Now, Yu Wangdong will take over, and soon he will be the new Khan for Chi Di. Once Yu Wangdong becomes the Khan, I hope none of you will oppose him. Of course, it would be best if you could support him, but at the very least, you must not oppose him, especially not causing any trouble, and not oppose Yu Wangdong’s rule over Chi Di.”

All the Chi Di cultivators brought by Bu Jianerti were listening intently, heads lowered.

Every sentence Qi Tian said, they can understand all too well. But when combined, it all sounded so foreign. It was not surprising, for all of them were hearing the name Yu Ting for the first time, and prior to today, they didn’t even know such a person existed.

“May I ask, Senior Qi Tian, who is this Yu Wangdong? What are his virtues and abilities that qualify him to be the Heavenly Khan of our Chi Di?” A Chi Di cultivator plucked up his courage to ask.

Qi Tian said, “Yu Wangdong’s mother is Yu Ting, who was married to Chi Di from Great Zhao during the affiliation of our two nations. Technically, Yu Wangdong still has the blood of the Great Zhao royal family. Wouldn’t it be better if he becomes your Khan? This symbolizes that the Chi Di and the Great Zhao are as close as a family, and will be friends for generations to come, which is certainly better than endless fighting and killing.”

“What? He has the blood of Great Zhao? How could he possibly become our Heavenly Khan?” The Chi Di cultivator who had braced himself to ask Qi Tian questions exploded upon hearing that Yu Wangdong had the blood of Great Zhao. Many Chi Di people took this issue very seriously, considering it an unbreakable rule of the Chi Di.

Qi Tian’s face darkened. He glanced at Bu Jianerti, whose soul almost flew out of his body. Stepping forwards, he slapped the questioning Chi Di cultivator into a pulp. Bu Jianerti coldly snorted, “Who else thinks Yu Wangdong is not qualified to be the new Khan of Chi Di?”

Seeing the pile of flesh on the ground, all the Chi Di cultivators fell silent.
