Wang Fengna was quite tall, towering over most men by at least half a head. She was not overweight, and of all her features, it was her eyes that left the most profound impression – a pair of slightly large, phoenix eyes that exuded extraordinary presence.
Watching Wang Fengna lead the people of the Eight Pill Alliance directly towards them, Qi Tian and his companions, as well as Lin Zhiyuan’s entourage, were all incredibly tense. As for Zhang Liangliang’s group, they were quaking with fear. They now regretted delaying even a moment; had they known that another formidable group would arrive, they would have fled long ago.
“Master, should we retreat?” Sensing that the leader of the Eight Pill Alliance was Wang Fengna, Zhao Haiying began to think of retreating. He was not the type to sacrifice needlessly. Based on his experience, he had determined that their party had no chance of victory against the Eight Pill Alliance. Everyone would die in a confrontation; rather than dying in vain, it would be better to choose to retreat from the start – there was no shame in fleeing from an unwinnable fight.
It wasn’t just Zhao Haiying who wanted to flee – Gao Jinmei, Liao Chongru, and Deng Chuanliang all harbored similar thoughts. Although the Eight Pill Alliance was never known for excelling in combat within the Gold Core Realm, even the worst fighters at the Gold Core Stage Seventh Level Peak couldn’t be that weak. Besides, the Eight Pill Alliance’s lack of combat prowess was only relative. The jade amulets, battle soldiers, and battle armors they crafted were highly sought after in Wanjie City. There was no reason for Wang Fengna and her team not to equip themselves with the best, which was enough to compensate for their combat weakness.
Moreover, it was only the eight core Gold Core Realm members of the Eight Pill Alliance who were not adept at combat. Among those affiliated and friendly with them, there were certainly strong Gold Core Realm fighters skilled in battle. Just like the eight non-core Gold Core Realm strongmen Wang Fengna had brought along this time, a few of them were undoubtedly enforcers.
Without being aware of the hidden forces Qi Tian controlled, Zhao Haiying and the others felt as helpless as toddlers facing two-meter-tall muscular giants when confronted with the Eight Pill Alliance. The disparity was crushing, offering no chance of victory whatsoever.
Qi Tian could never have anticipated the arrival of the Eight Pill Alliance, let alone the vice leader in charge. He didn’t reassess the necessity of entering the Imperial Family Secret Territory. Frankly, the resources at his disposal were sufficient to support his breakthrough to the Gold Core Realm and sustain many years of cultivation within it. Whether to enter the Imperial Family Secret Territory was not a compulsory option for him. However, for anyone under his command, each Gold Core Realm member had an undeniable reason to go.
With Qi Tian’s resources, supporting two or three Gold Core Realm strongmen was still manageable, but any more would be impossible. Even so, if he could support two or three Gold Core Realm strongmen, he wouldn’t choose to do so. He had subjugated Zhao Haiying and the others so they could assist him, or put bluntly, to serve as his laborers. He would not treat them as revered ancestors, taking on all the expenses for their cultivation.
Heading to the Imperial Family Secret Territory was, in Qi Tian’s view, the most likely opportunity for his subordinates to advance a rank. If they retreated now, finding such an opportunity again was not impossible, but it would certainly be extremely difficult to come by.
However, circumstances outweighed their options. Unless he was willing to extensively utilize Master Ming Ren’s legacy, taking out the precious battle soldiers and battle armors from Master Ming Ren’s collection, they might stand a chance to defeat the Eight Pill Alliance. Yet such a victory would be short-lived. Once word spread that Qi Tian had obtained treasures from a Nascent Soul Master, virtually all Gold Core Realm strongmen and even Nascent Soul Masters from Wanjie City might come after him. His life would never know peace again.
A torrent of thoughts flashed through Qi Tian’s mind, and soon he made a decision. “It can’t be done; we must withdraw.”
They didn’t dare scatter in flight, instead maintaining the formation of the Five Elements Array as they withdrew in the direction opposite of the Eight Pill Alliance.
Like Qi Tian, aside from the disciples of the Refining God Sect, Lin Zhiyuan’s group and Zhang Liangliang’s group also decided to make a hasty retreat. The Imperial Family Secret Territory might have opportunities for them to soar to great heights, but before seizing said opportunities, the primary concern was to save their own lives. Without life, any chance, no matter how great, would have nothing to do with them.
Despite all their plans, Qi Tian and his companions needed the opportunity to escape. Just as they started to move, a resounding voice came from the direction of the Eight Pill Alliance.
“Sir, there’s no need to leave; the Eight Pill Alliance has matters to discuss with you.”
No one took this declaration seriously, all focused on fleeing quickly. At a time like this, the goal was to escape as far as possible, at least faster than everyone else, to ensure one’s own safety.
The robust voice called out again, saying, “Sirs fleeing questions our Eight Pill Alliance’s intentions, taking us for villains, am I right? This insult is something our Eight Pill Alliance cannot endure. Given this, we are sorry, but we must clear up this matter with you all, no matter what.”
