Qi Tian, grinning ear to ear, walked over and looked down at Wang Dongming who lay on the ground, smiling, “Wang Dongming, you really are talented, maliciously plotting to make me drop my guard against you. Then, using the fact that I’m unfamiliar with your Refining God Sect, you lured me here to isolate me and planned to use the Teleportation Array to escape. Such clever scheming.”

Liao Chongru was still feeling frightened to this moment. The situation just now had been too critical. If it weren’t for Qi Tian breaking the light barrier and—for some unknown reason—the Teleportation Array failing to activate properly, the result would definitely not be as it was now.

“Master, this Wang Dongming is extremely cunning, full of devious tricks, and he’s all too familiar with the Refining God Sect. It wouldn’t take long for him to set another trap for us. Better to dispose of him now, so he’ll have fewer opportunities to play tricks,” Liao Chongru solemnly suggested to Qi Tian.

Wang Dongming shivered in fright and hurriedly begged, “Master, spare my life, I was just being foolish this time. I promise, nothing like this will ever happen again.”

Qi Tian stared at Wang Dongming for a long while, until the man felt hair-raising fear, then he snorted coldly, “Considering you are a descendant of Emperor Zhi Wu, I can grant you mercy this one time, but only this once. Take great care from now on. If there’s a next time, I would kill you first, even if it means not going to the Imperial Family Secret Territory. Don’t doubt my resolve and capabilities.”

Wang Dongming nodded repeatedly, now absolutely not daring to underestimate Qi Tian. Thinking about it, Qi Tian had no background, yet he was revered as the National Master by the Great Zhao Nation and managed to make Gold Core Realm experts like Liao Chongru and Zhao Haiying obediently follow him. He must possess some extraordinary methods. If Wang Dongming himself had paid attention to these details and reflected deeply, he wouldn’t have made the mistake he did, and would have surely planned more carefully before acting.

Qi Tian said, “Liao, give Wang Dongming a pill to make him behave, then send a message to old Zhao to bring people over to meet us here. I’ll study the Teleportation Array. Utilizing this Teleportation Array, we might not only be able to leave the Refining God Sect swiftly, but also reach the Imperial Family Secret Territory sooner.”

Liao Chongru nodded and went on to do as Qi Tian instructed.

Qi Tian paid no attention to Wang Dongming’s pitiful cries as he swallowed the pill; he was busy examining the Teleportation Array in the side hall. He had used various Teleportation Arrays numerous times before, and during his study of the texts, he had come across many records related to them. The Teleportation Array in front of his eyes was not complex, and it didn’t take long for Qi Tian to mostly understand its mechanisms.

But the study left Qi Tian frowning a bit; the distance covered by this Teleportation Array was vast, and he could not be certain whether its destination was even within the Great Zhao Nation’s borders. A journey of thousands of miles would require nearly half a day’s time even at his utmost speed to reach.

Such a vast temporal and spatial leap meant that if anything went wrong, it would be difficult for Qi Tian to find support. If he decided to use this Teleportation Array, he would have to make thorough preparations in advance, especially regarding personnel. As for supplies, he didn’t need to make special plans; the most important aspect was people.

Qi Tian walked over to Wang Dongming and asked, “Does this Teleportation Array lead near the Imperial Family Secret Territory, or does it take one directly inside?”

Wang Dongming responded, “The array doesn’t transport people inside the Imperial Family Secret Territory, but to a location quite a distance away from it. However, Master, if I were you, I wouldn’t use this Teleportation Array. Although it failed to transport me away a moment ago, it was activated, and the other side did not receive any person or objects, so they’ll definitely be prepared. If we go now, wouldn’t we be walking right into a trap?”

“Are you that kindhearted?” replied Qi Tian with a smile.

“Whether I’m kindhearted or not, only the facts will prove. Nonetheless, I’ve shared my advice; whether you heed it is up to you, Master,” said Wang Dongming.

Qi Tian didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he began to wander around the side hall and the Council Hall, wanting to see if he could find something related to the Teleportation Array. The Council Hall was large but empty, and although Qi Tian, using the Heavenly Dao Engine’s ability to sense Spirit Qi, found some hidden spirit stones, beyond that, there really wasn’t anything valuable enough to act upon, not even bothering with those spirit stones due to their small quantity and mediocre quality.

Just then, Zhao Haiying, accompanied by several chosen guides, arrived. He didn’t disturb Qi Tian, who was deep in thought, but first touched bases with Liao Chongru, learning about the situation. After becoming informed, Zhao Haiying then approached Qi Tian and bowed, saying, “Master.”

“Old Zhao, you should be aware of the situation by now. With your experience, share your thoughts,” said Qi Tian.

Zhao Haiying answered, “Master, my suggestion is to make use of this Teleportation Array here. If someone intends to intercept us on the other side, there are likely only three methods: the first is to attack us before we’ve exited the array; the second is to set up a barrier outside the array to trap us inside before attacking; the third is to employ the advantage of numbers or organize a group of Gold Core Realm experts to target us.”
