Wang Dongming’s heart skipped a beat, but he maintained a calm demeanor and said, “Senior, what do you mean? I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
Zhao Haiying snorted coldly, not revealing how much he knew about the secrets of the Imperial Family Secret Territory. He turned to Qi Tian and said, “Master, this young man is not being honest, skirting important issues and definitely hiding key information from us. I now have two suggestions, and I hope Master will allow me to share them.”
Qi Tian nodded, “Alright, go ahead.”
Zhao Haiying said, “My first suggestion is that I hope Master will allow me to perform the Soul Searching Skills on this youngster. Under the Soul Searching Skills, however many secrets there are, we’ll be able to dig them out, and he won’t be able to hide anything from us.
Standing alongside them, Wang Dongming’s face paled upon hearing this, and he protested urgently, “Master, you can’t use Soul Searching Skills on me. If you insist on doing so without my consent, I would rather destroy my sea of consciousness than let you succeed. Besides, everything I’ve said is absolutely true, without a single falsehood.”
Qi Tian didn’t give an immediate answer and instead inquired, “Zhao, what is your second suggestion?”
Zhao Haiying responded, “My second suggestion is, if Master really isn’t willing to take action, then we could take a few more people from the Refining God Sect to act as guides. Among them, there must be someone who knows all the secrets of the Imperial Family Secret Territory.”
Qi Tian nodded and said, “I accept your second suggestion. As for the first, let’s put it on hold for now. Unless it’s absolutely necessary, we should avoid using Soul Searching Skills.”
Strictly speaking, Soul Searching Skills are considered somewhat nefarious. Although Qi Tian did not shy away from killing, he still did not want to resort to using dark arts or demonic skills. Such things are addictive; one transgression sets the precedent for the next, and with time, one can become accustomed to it, adopting a mindset without any bottom lines, which is quite dangerous. If one day he were to be branded an Evil Demon by other cultivators and become the target of their collective pursuit and assassination, then he would indeed be in trouble.
Of course, it wasn’t that Qi Tian would completely abandon such methods; he just wouldn’t resort to them lightly.
“Since Master has made his decision, I will obey. Liao Chongru, make sure the Master is well protected. I will go and capture some people,” Zhao Haiying instructed Liao Chongru before heading inside the Refining God Sect. After two steps, he glanced back at Wang Dongming and said, “If I were you, I would send a message to my fellow sect members to cooperate fully with my selection of people.”
Wang Dongming felt uneasy under Zhao Haiying’s gaze and hurriedly said, “Senior, rest assured, I will ensure everyone cooperates with you and not cause any trouble in selecting people.”
Once Zhao Haiying had left, Wang Dongming expressed his true feelings to Qi Tian, saying, “Master, the senior must have misunderstood me. I am completely loyal to you, with absolutely nothing hidden.”
Qi Tian chuckled and replied, “Whether you’re hiding anything or not, we’ll leave that aside for now. I do have one thing I’d like to ask you about, however. Could you tell me about the Wolf Teeth Knife?”
“This…” Wang Dongming felt awkward and a bit troubled. The Wolf Teeth Knife was a core secret of their Refining God Sect, and not long before, they had used it to ambush Qi Tian and his group, posing a significant threat to them. Now, to speak readily about it in front of Qi Tian seemed somewhat suicidal.
“If you don’t want to talk about it, then never mind. I won’t insist,” Qi Tian said with an extremely faint smile, appearing very approachable.
Wang Dongming wasn’t fooled by the facade Qi Tian presented. If Qi Tian were truly easy to talk to, how could he have become the National Master of Great Zhao Nation, and how could he have led Liao Chongru and Zhao Haiying into their Refining God Sect? Wang Dongming forced a obsequious smile and said, “Master, it’s not that it’s a secret I can’t share. Since Master wants to know, then I’ll briefly explain.”
Qi Tian nodded, signaling Wang Dongming to continue.
Actually, these Wolf Teeth Knives were not produced by the Refining God Sect. After Emperor Zhi Wu transferred the management rights of the Imperial Family Secret Territory to Wang Dongming’s grandfather Wang Wenshui, Wang Wenshui entered the territory first and used the cultivation resources found there to advance to the Gold Core Stage, even achieving the Gold Core Realm before Emperor Tian Rui.
After achieving the Gold Core, Wang Wenshui organized loyal cultivators of the Refining God Sect to orderly enter and temper themselves within the Imperial Family Secret Territory. They found many valuable items there, including the Concealment Array that protected the entire pirate stronghold and the Defensive Barrier that shielded the Refining God Sect, all of which were discovered within the Imperial Family Secret Territory. The Wolf Teeth Knives were also one of the items Wang Wenshui found through similar means.
As for the exact number of knives, Wang Dongming wasn’t very clear. He only knew that before his grandfather Wang Wenshui went to the Imperial Family Secret Territory, he took away all the cultivators in the Gold Core Realm and those at the Half-step Gold Core from the sect. To prevent any accidents in the Refining God Sect, Wang Wenshui left behind a few Wolf Teeth Knives for defense against foreign enemies, leading to the subsequent assassination attempt on Qi Tian and his group with the knives.
“As far as I know, the Wolf Teeth Knife cannot exist alone—it needs a launcher to be effective. We’ve only been attacked by the knives but have never seen what the launcher looks like. I don’t know if you could satisfy this small request of mine,” Qi Tian directly asked Wang Dongming.
