Chapter 843: Chapter 0517: Waiting for You to Wake Up_2 Chapter 843: Chapter 0517: Waiting for You to Wake Up_2 Qi Tian and Liao Chongru followed Wang Dongming into the Council Hall, where they saw numerous chairs arrayed. Wang Dongming approached one of the chairs casually, patted the armrest with his hand, and immediately, a wall of light appeared, blocking between Qi Tian and himself.

Wang Dongming turned his head and a sly smile crept onto his lips, “Qi Tian, you’d better wash your neck and wait, once I bring my grandfather and the others back, you’ll be in for a world of pain.”

After threatening Qi Tian, Wang Dongming bolted, vanishing into a side chamber of the Council Hall in the blink of an eye.

Liao Chongru had already attacked the wall of light the moment it appeared, but the wall’s only strength was its solidity. With her wounds still healing and unable to even muster the strength of the First Level of Gold Core Realm, how could she possibly break through this barrier?

Bang, bang, two consecutive punches from Liao Chongru hit the wall of light but failed to make it even waver. In desperation, she asked, “Master, what should we do?”

Qi Tian smiled, “Don’t worry, the defensive strength of this wall of light is the same as the Defensive Barrier of the Refining God Sect, reaching the level of a Half-step Nascent Soul. Unless you possess strength comparable to a Half-step Nascent Soul, it’s completely useless.”

Hearing this, Liao Chongru’s face fell in disappointment. She hadn’t forgotten how Qi Tian had broken through the Defensive Barrier of the Refining God Sect, and she didn’t doubt that, given enough time, Qi Tian could definitely break through this wall of light. But would Wang Dongming give them the time? By luring them here, Wang Dongming must have made thorough preparations, either with a powerful means of attack or a mechanism for escape. Both would be decidedly unfavorable for them.

Qi Tian chuckled. He had scanned the Refining God Sect’s base countless times with the sensing function of the Heavenly Dao Engine. He was well aware of the traps and ambushes set by the Refining God Sect here. That was precisely why he did not allow Zhao Haiying to follow Wang Dongming but came by himself. Having chosen to come, he naturally had a means to break through.

Qi Tian patted Liao Chongru’s shoulder and said with a smile, “Liao, step back, don’t get hurt.”

Liao Chongru, unsure of what Qi Tian was about to do, obediently retreated several steps.

With a flick of his hand, a flying sword appeared in Qi Tian’s grasp. Its emergence made Liao Chongru feel as if a primordial beast had materialized, its presence so overwhelming she couldn’t endure it, and she collapsed to the ground, her knees giving way. Even though she braced herself with her hands, she was trembling violently.

Qi Tian was trembling just as much. The flying sword was the personal weapon of a Nascent Soul Master; it still carried the Master’s essence, far too powerful for Qi Tian, a cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment, to contend with. He gritted his teeth, knowing that wielding the sword now was a desperate act. For a few seconds, it was manageable, but extending it to ten or more would massively damage his meridians and physical body, making recovery afterward anything but easy.

Without wasting a moment, as soon as the flying sword was drawn, Qi Tian concentrated all his True Essence into his right hand, grasped the flying sword, and swung it at the wall of light.

Then came the sound of shattering glass, and the impregnable wall of light collapsed in an instant, breaking into myriad specks of light that drifted away.

Qi Tian put away the flying sword and then released the Transporting Whirlwind to collect the light specks.

Though it was only a single strike, it had drained Qi Tian’s True Essence completely. Had he not cut off the connection to the flying sword in time, it might have sucked him dry. With such immense consumption, he naturally seized every opportunity to replenish his True Essence.

Liao Chongru climbed up from the ground and, seeing Qi Tian’s pale face and the cold sweat dripping from his entire body, became anxious. “Master, are you alright?”

Qi Tian exhaled a turbid breath. Just a moment ago, he had used the Heavenly Dao Engine to draw a large amount of cultivation resources that had been previously stockpiled in the storage room. They transformed into streams of Spirit Force to replenish his meridians. Although it was only for an instant, he felt much better now.

“I’m fine, let’s go, we must find Wang Dongming quickly; we can’t let the old guy get away,” Qi Tian said, starting to run towards the side hall of the Council Hall, with Liao Chongru quickly following behind him.

Soon, the two arrived at the entrance of the side hall and peered inside, where Liao Chongru saw that a Teleportation Array had been set up and was already activated.

From activation to the start of teleportation, there was a process, but it usually wasn’t too long—merely a few dozen seconds. The reason Wang Dongming had used a light wall to block Qi Tian and the others was precisely to buy these precious few dozen seconds for himself.

Although Qi Tian moved quickly, he had still lost more than twenty seconds in total. This was mainly due to his low cultivation level. Manipulating the Nascent Soul Master’s sword was a difficult task; otherwise, the time could have been shortened even more.

Seeing Wang Dongming about to teleport away, Liao Chongru was beside herself with anger. If Wang Dongming managed to escape, they could almost certainly deem their operation a failure, as it would be nearly impossible for them to find the Imperial Family Secret Territory again.

“Wang Dongming, where do you think you’re running off to?” Liao Chongru didn’t have time to think further as she charged into the Teleportation Array with reckless abandon. She intended to knock Wang Dongming out of the array before the teleportation officially started. Even if she couldn’t achieve that, she was ready to be teleported away with him; then she could find a way to force Wang Dongming to teleport them back.

Wang Dongming hadn’t expected Qi Tian and the others to arrive so quickly, but what of it? In just a few more seconds, the Teleportation Array would start, and he could escape from Qi Tian’s clutches, regaining his freedom. Later, he would tell everything to his grandfather, and his grandfather would surely avenge him.

Wang Dongming glared at Qi Tian with hatred. He burned Qi Tian’s features into the depths of his soul, vowing that one day, he would kill everyone in the Great Zhao Nation associated with Qi Tian. Only thus could he erase the humiliation he had suffered today.

Qi Tian shook his head, then reached out toward Wang Dongming under his gaze. “Wang Dongming, today, you’re not going anywhere.”

Wang Dongming burst into wild laughter. “Qi Tian, who do you think you are? A Nascent Soul Master? If you were, I, Wang Dongming, wouldn’t say a word; whatever you asked me to do, I’d do. But it so happens you’re just a kid at the peak of Foundation Establishment. You think you can stop me? Dream on.”

Qi Tian smiled faintly and said, “If you say it’s a dream, then it’s a dream. But it’s not me who’s dreaming; it’s you. I’ll wait for you to wake up.”

“I’m afraid it’s not me who needs to wake up from a dream, but you,” Wang Dongming’s laughter continued.

However, his laughter soon ceased. By his calculations, he should have been teleported away by now. Why was he still engaged in conversation with Qi Tian? Something didn’t add up.

Before Wang Dongming could fully grasp the situation, Liao Chongru threw herself at him, knocking him by colliding with him and sending him out of the Teleportation Array.

Liao Chongru was resolute; without waiting for Wang Dongming to react, her hands balled into fists, and she launched attacks at several vital points on his body. Soon, she had stripped Wang Dongming of his ability to fight. “You little punk, trying to escape from under my watch? Keep dreaming.”

Wang Dongming lay on the ground with a vacant gaze, his mind clouded, still not understanding the situation. According to his plan, he should have been free of Qi Tian’s control by now. So why was Qi Tian still here? Why hadn’t he been able to escape?
