After killing the two culprits who directly led to his pursuit by two Gold Core Realm powerhouses, Qi Tian returned to the dense fog, hiding beyond a distance visible to the Thousand Miles Mirror. He planned to wait for some time before boarding the ship again.

For his own safety, Qi Tian would not return to the Wanjie City on his own. To outsiders, the Foggy Sea was so dense that one could not see his own fingers, unless he had treasures like the Thousand Miles Mirror. Even with the Thousand Miles Mirror, it was not easy to emerge unscathed from the Foggy Sea. If Qi Tian managed to leave the Foggy Sea using his own strength, he would have to spend quite some effort explaining if he was met by someone from the Wanjie Commerce. Even worse, it might attract some people’s attention.

While slowly following the flying sailboat, Qi Tian noticed that Wan Xiaolan’s flying sailboat had almost come to a standstill in the Foggy Sea, completely motionless. With a little thought, Qi Tian understood the reason for this. Despite Wan Xiaolan being an Elder of the Wanjie Commerce and a prestigious Gold Core Realm powerhouse, it was particularly difficult for him to protect himself in this situation where he couldn’t rely on Wanjie Commerce and was severely injured. This was the common hardship of cultivators. A tiger bullied by a dog in a plain; no matter who it was, anyone could face such a day.

Qi Tian felt sympathy for Wan Xiaolan’s predicament, but he had no desire to board the ship in advance to help Wan Xiaolan. Although Wan Xiaolan was an acquaintance, he was far from being a friend. Wan Xiaolan exploited him most of the time. If Qi Tian gave his sincerity to such people, he would be waiting for betrayal. He just quietly stayed in place, not even using the Heavenly Dao Engine’s spirit Qi sensing function to pay attention to Wan Xiaolan. Even if Wan Xiaolan was killed by other Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators on the same boat, it would not move Qi Tian.

About an hour later, Qi Tian, dishevelled and resembling a dog who had lost its home, rushed towards the flying sailboat, and then fell onto the deck of the sailboat.

Qi Tian pretended to be extremely frightened, and after getting up from the deck, he held a broken Thousand Miles Mirror and looked into the dense fog. After confirming that there was no one in the direction he was looking, he looked relieved and slumped on the deck.

The other Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, seeing Qi Tian in such a state, did not move. They all knew that Qi Tian had the ability to kill Gold Core Realm powerhouses, although the ones he killed were only from the First Level of Gold Core Realm. It was enough to frighten them. Moreover, not long ago, Qi Tian was pursued by a tall Gold Core Realm powerhouse and a short Gold Core Realm powerhouse. Now, while the two Gold Core Realm powerhouses had disappeared, Qi Tian had returned. This clearly explained some things.

No one tried to kill Qi Tian because of his near-death state, unless they were forced into a corner, otherwise they would not easily take risks.

The moment Wan Xiaolan saw Qi Tian, he felt a shock. He was both shocked that Qi Tian was able to return to the ship, and was worried that Qi Tian might bring the two Gold Core Realm powerhouses back. He never came to check on Qi Tian but was stealthily on guard, wary of any possible situation. It was not until Qi Tian put down the Thousand Miles Mirror and collapsed on the deck that Wan Xiaolan felt slightly secure.

First, Wan Xiaolan took out his Thousand Miles Mirror and looked around to confirm that there were no Gold Core Realm powerhouses rushing over. Then, he walked towards Qi Tian. He stopped when he was about three metres from Qi Tian.

“Qi Tian, are you okay?” asked Wan Xiaolan.

“Elder Wan, I’m okay.” Qi Tian was panting heavily, “You don’t know how dangerous it was for me just now. The tall Gold Core Realm powerhouse who chased me at first, I fought with him for a long time before I was able to snatch the Thousand Miles Mirror from him. He was injured and ran away. Later, I said I could return to the ship, but the short Gold Core Realm powerhouse hadn’t left yet and pursued me again. I used all my martial arts, every bit of strength to shake him off. Elder Wan, let’s go quickly. If we wait any longer, those two Gold Core Realm powerhouses might come back. At that time, if we want to leave, we won’t be able to.”

Wan Xiaolan was silent, considering whether or not to throw Qi Tian off the ship. After all, having Qi Tian continually stay on the ship would possibly attract the Gold Core Realm powerhouses looking for Qi Tian back. He might not be able to withstand them then. However, after thinking for a moment, Wan Xiaolan decided to keep Qi Tian. With Qi Tian there, he at least didn’t have to worry about the other Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators on the same ship attacking him. Qi Tian had mastered the basic skills of controlling a flying sailboat, which would allow him to take over the helm so Wan Xiaolan could take this time to heal his wounds.

“Qi Tian, you make sense. However, I’m not in good shape right now. You take over the helm of the flying sailboat; I’ll take this chance to recover.” Said Wan Xiaolan.

Qi Tian nodded, then went into the cockpit of the flying sailboat. Wan Xiaolan told him that he didn’t need to adjust the ship’s course and only needed to perform basic operations such as starting and shutting down. After that, Wan Xiaolan left the cockpit. Although he claimed to trust Qi Tian fully, in reality, he was looking for a place to heal his wounds. In the end, Wan Xiaolan didn’t trust Qi Tian completely. He was also worried that Qi Tian would take advantage of his injury to harm him.
