Chapter 847 - 847 0519 Not a Good Place_2

Chapter 847: Chapter 0519: Not a Good Place_2 Chapter 847: Chapter 0519: Not a Good Place_2 Qi Tian didn’t hold back at all. For a cultivation sect like the Refining God Sect, which operated outside of the Great Zhao Cultivation World, if they didn’t provoke him, he could look the other way and avoid interfering. But he had already made himself clear to Wang Dongming and the others, yet they still dared to challenge his bottom line. In that case, he definitely wouldn’t turn a blind eye.

Bang, bang, bang. Qi Tian swung his Red Hoop Stick several times in succession, each time sending a group of Refining God Sect disciples flying. The disciples suffered heavy casualties, but the remaining ones still recklessly charged forward fearlessly—not because they weren’t afraid of death, but because they knew full well how formidable the Sect Leader Wang Wenshui was. If they didn’t perform well today, once Wang Wenshui and the others returned, none of them would have good days ahead. Rather than being settled by Wang Wenshui later, it was better to prove themselves now, even if it meant death, which was preferable to the future reckoning.

However, the fearlessly charging disciples of the Refining God Sect were ultimately just ordinary disciples. They had no other choice but to follow Wang Dongming’s orders. Yet Wang Dongming himself didn’t have to worry about being held to account by his grandfather in the future. He stirred up the others, commanding the Refining God Sect disciples to fight Qi Tian desperately while he went against the crowd, trying to squeeze his way out of the assembly hall. Besides the Teleportation Array here, the Refining God Sect had set up escape routes in several other locations. If he found one of them, he would be able to leave safely. As for whether the disciples of the Refining God Sect would be completely annihilated, that was something he couldn’t afford to worry about now—preserving himself was the most important thing.

Qi Tian was closely watching Wang Dongming all the while. Of the entire Refining God Sect, everyone could be let go, but Wang Dongming absolutely could not. As the Sect Leader of the Refining God Sect, he was the most likely person to know the secrets of the Imperial Family Secret Territory. Qi Tian wanted to go to the Imperial Family Secret Territory and still needed Wang Dongming to lead the way as a guide.

Seeing Wang Dongming attempting to sneak away, Qi Tian let out a cold snort. He took out a Gold Core Thunder Talisman equivalent to the First Level of the Gold Core Realm and tossed it into the crowd not far from Wang Dongming.

With a thunderous boom, Wang Dongming’s soul shuddered. He watched in horror as a large number of his fellow sect brothers collapsed to the ground in the area struck by lightning, turning into charred remains, emitting a nauseating smell of burnt flesh.

This thunderclap not only scared Wang Dongming but also froze the remaining disciples of the Refining God Sect. They dared to attack Qi Tian so fiercely only because they were certain Qi Tian was at the Foundation Establishment Peak level. They thought that by sacrificing their own lives, they could overwhelm Qi Tian. But now, seeing the method Qi Tian had just displayed, using just one Gold Core Thunder Talisman, he could annihilate so many of them. A few more of these, and the Refining God Sect could be leveled completely.

No one wanted to do something when they knew they would die without any hope. All the Refining God Sect disciples involuntarily stopped attacking. Wang Dongming was also frightened into halting his steps.

Qi Tian’s voice drifted over calmly, saying, “Wang Dongming, you can continue trying to escape. We can make a bet to see whether you run faster, or if the lightning summoned by the Gold Core Thunder Talisman is faster. Don’t worry, don’t be scared. Just try your best. If you win, you’ll escape and earn big. If you lose, it doesn’t matter. It’s just one life, right? You don’t have to be afraid at all. Maybe you’re a cat and have nine lives, allowing you to try nine times.”

While speaking, Qi Tian took out another Gold Core Thunder Talisman and played with it in his hand. “Come on, run.”

Wang Dongming almost cried. His calves were turning. He was very certain Qi Tian wouldn’t kill him, which is why he attempted to escape time and again. But just now, he came so close to death. The lightning summoned by the Gold Core Thunder Talisman was just a couple of steps away from striking him, and if it had, he would have turned into a charred corpse. At this point, he truly didn’t dare to bet on whether Qi Tian would kill him or not. It wasn’t entirely impossible for Qi Tian to prefer killing him over going to the Imperial Family Secret Territory. After all, they had found the Teleportation Array leading to the vicinity of the Imperial Family Secret Territory, and even without him as a guide, by spending a bit more time around the Teleportation Array, there was always a chance to find another member of the Refining God Sect.

“Master, you’ve misunderstood me. I really didn’t think about running away. I… I… I just needed to pee very badly,” Wang Dongming hastily came up with a lame excuse.

Qi Tian let out a cold snort and said, “I’m giving you one last chance. If you dare play any more tricks, I won’t keep you, this troublemaker, around any longer.”

Wang Dongming repeatedly nodded in agreement.

Qi Tian waved his hand and said, “Have all your Refining God Sect people withdraw, and clean up this place; I don’t want to look at it and feel annoyed.”

Qi Tian had just slaughtered all around, and the Council Hall was in a mess, with bodies, bloodstains, and the cries of the wounded everywhere. Many disciples of the Refining God Sect had been focused solely on fighting to the death with Qi Tian, and now that they had a moment of respite to clean up, the sight of their dead and injured fellow disciples made them feel nauseous. Several were bent over the ground, retching, further adding to the already foul stench in the Council Hall.

Just then, the Teleportation Array flickered with white light, but it seemed unable to land. Feeling a sudden urge, Qi Tian quickly waved his sleeve, collecting the defensive gear covering the Teleportation Array. Only then did the teleportation light land, and once the white light dissipated, Liao Chongru’s figure was revealed.

“Master, the Teleportation Array is functioning normally, and there is not even a single guard on that end,” Liao Chongru reported to Qi Tian urgently, not yet recovered from the disorientation of teleporting.

“No guards? How is that possible?” Before Qi Tian could say anything, Wang Dongming exclaimed in shock. His grandfather had personally told him that the Teleportation Array was critical to the rise and fall of their Refining God Sect and should not be neglected. No matter what happened, someone would always be assigned to guard it.

“Bastard, is it your turn to speak?” Liao Chongru rebuked Wang Dongming displeasedly. Just as she was about to properly instruct Wang Dongming on the rules, she saw the carnage in the Council Hall resembling a battlefield of Asura, and exclaimed in shock, “Master, what happened here? Did the Refining God Sect try to take advantage of our absence from your side to launch an attack on you?”

Qi Tian nodded and replied, “Exactly.”

Enraged, Liao Chongru knew that their interests and fates were tightly bound to Qi Tian. Even a scratch on him was a grave matter to them. “Master, I will go and exterminate them right now.”

Qi Tian gestured with his hand and said, “I have already taught them a lesson, so there’s no need for you to take action. Don’t waste time; we should hurry and find the Imperial Family Secret Territory instead.”

Only then did Liao Chongru fiercely glare at the Refining God Sect disciples who were cleaning the Council Hall and then said, “What about the other guides?”

Qi Tian coughed. The so-called guides that Zhao Haiying had chosen had, under Wang Dongming’s strict orders, joined in the attack on him. He had killed all of them, and a few others had fled into the crowd. During Qi Tian’s cleansing of the crowd with the Gold Core Thunder Talisman, these people were unfortunately struck and all died. In other words, now only Wang Dongming knew the specific details about how to reach the Imperial Family Secret Territory.

With a swift glance over the dead bodies lying all around, Liao Chongru understood what had happened. She quickly corrected herself, “Master, let’s take Wang Dongming with us and leave this place quickly. This wretched place isn’t worth staying.”

The Refining God Sect was indeed not a good place. It possessed incredibly powerful Concealment Arrays and Defensive Barriers, as well as the Wolf Teeth Knife that had nearly killed Zhao Haiying and Liao Chongru. The Spirit Qi permeating the air was pretty good, but beyond that, Qi Tian truly found nothing related to the Gold Core Realm. Such a place was only suitable for staying long-term to cultivate with the surrounding Spirit Qi. Otherwise, even if one dug three feet into the ground, they would find no worthwhile treasures.
