Chapter 1032
At this moment, the Celestial Eye Master suddenly thought of something, "This kid, the only information we have is what happened on the battlefield in Tianqing City?"
"That’s right, this child seems to have come from outside the Secret Realm, and after entering, he was taken in by Tianqing City. He then made a name for himself within Tianqing City, and was ultimately recruited under their wing."
The disciples analyzed, "Perhaps it’s precisely because of this that he didn’t know Brother Qian Yi’s identity and cruelly killed him."
The Celestial Eye Master squinted his eyes and sneered, "If that’s the case, he will most likely return to Tianqing City. Assemble some personnel and head to Tianqing City!"
Ten days later.
A hundred miles from Tianqing City, in a city named ’Overturning Sea City.’
This Overturning Sea City is a battlefield primarily focused on logistics, where wounded cultivators from the frontlines usually retreat for rest and recuperation.
Therefore, the number of cultivators within the city is not large, roughly around a few thousand.
And just at this moment, a golden light flickered above the city.
A brightly textured token appeared in everyone’s view.
"Is this the Xuanmen Token?"
"What command has the Xuan Yi Sect issued? Quickly use your Divine Sense to probe inside!"
Everyone exchanged glances.
After a thorough inspection, everyone gasped.
"Just who is this Qin Qi?"
"Previously, I heard that he made a name for himself in both Tianqing City and Holy Wood City, even managing to single-handedly slay an Elite Demon!"
"But even if the kid has some strength, he shouldn’t have killed the genius of the Xuan Yi Sect. Now it’s bad, the Xuanmen Token has been issued, this kid is doomed!"
"The issuance of the Xuanmen Token means the Xuan Yi Sect will fully pursue this child. And there’s a reward of a mid-level Spiritual Treasure and a million Spirit Stones!"
There was much discussion among the crowd, and when the reward was mentioned, a few greedy expressions emerged in their eyes.
Yet nobody was aware.
In a nearby alley, a young man with a concealed aura and form was secretly observing everything.
If there were a highly cultivated individual capable of seeing through this Invisibility Technique, they would surely recognize his identity.
This person, naturally, was Qin Qi.
Qin Qi examined the contents inside the Xuanmen Token with his Divine Sense and sighed, "On my way here, crossing twelve cities, all have issued this Xuanmen Token, and they even offer a mid-level Spiritual Treasure as a bounty for me. Hah, the Xuan Yi Sect really regards me highly!"
The Celestial Joyful Witch chuckled, "Over the years, the Xuan Yi Sect has been so domineering in their actions. They can bully you at will, but if you dare to touch one of theirs, they’ll act like a Mad Dog!"
Qin Qi clasped his hands behind his back, "It seems that the Xuanmen Token has been widely issued throughout the Northwest Region, recording my appearance, age, and traits!"
"As long as I dare to show my real face, news is likely to reach the Xuan Yi Sect within half a day."
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
The Celestial Joyful Witch spoke slowly, "Qin Qi, have you ever blamed me?"
"Blame you for what?"
"If I hadn’t encouraged you to confront Mo Qianyi back then, perhaps you wouldn’t be in this predicament today!" The Celestial Joyful Witch’s words carried some self-reproach.
Originally, she just hoped Qin Qi could help her vent her anger.
But she didn’t expect the situation to turn out like this.
Qin Qi smiled, "It’s okay, you and I are people whose fortunes and losses are shared. Back then, Xuan Yi Sect harmed you so badly; even if you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have let Mo Qianyi off either!"
"And, even if given another choice, I’d still kill Mo Qianyi. Not merely because of you, but because I’ve always acted that way!"
"You don’t need to feel guilty or blame yourself."
Hearing Qin Qi’s words, the Celestial Joyful Witch felt slightly relieved.
Her lips parted gently, "What do you plan to do next, head to the highest battlefield?"
Qin Qi said calmly, "No rush, let’s return to Tianqing City first."
"Return to Tianqing City?" the Celestial Joyful Witch asked in surprise.
Qin Qi touched his chin, "You and I are like ants on the same rope. It’s inevitable that we’ll go up against Xuan Yi Sect."
"So, what I need to do now isn’t just to save my life but also to find a way to recruit troops and build my own forces!"
"After all, the Hehuan Technique you taught me excels at this!"
This time, he intended to recruit none other than Bai Yirou.
Bai Yirou has an ingrained M nature, and before completely conquering her, she can already send rare treasures like the Golden Cutting Wheel.
Once completely conquered, wouldn’t she be obediently following his every word?
Hearing Qin Qi’s words, the Celestial Joyful Witch smiled contentedly, "Hehe, it’s best that you think like this. But if there’s any surprise, Xuan Yi Sect has likely already stationed people in Tianqing City."
"Aren’t you afraid of danger when you return to Tianqing City now?"
Qin Qi slowly spoke, "I know, but even with danger, I must go there once. I’ve seen the look in tomorrow’s eyes; needless to say, the highest battlefield’s peril level is clear!"
"With my Fake Core Stage cultivation, going there is almost akin to courting death. If I don’t prepare myself, going there would be no different from suicide!"
"I can’t entirely pin my hopes on a letter, hoping a Nascent Soul Stage expert will protect me!"
In this world, apart from the Celestial Joyful Witch and the women he had conquered, he trusted no one!
"However, I do need to prepare well before returning to Tianqing City! The Mana within me can increase the duration of the Invisibility Technique significantly compared to before."
"But at most, I can maintain it for about half an hour. Within this half-hour, my Mana will deplete at a very rapid pace. I must cultivate my Mana properly, because if exposed, that would truly be the end!"
Thinking of this, Qin Qi quietly left Overturning Sea City.
Afterward, he found a nearby cave and began his cultivation.
In this way, after several days of cultivation, Qin Qi swiftly set out again.
Although outwardly calm, he was still somewhat anxious inside.
Throughout this journey, he remained cautious, keeping the Invisibility Technique active, moving stealthily.
And Tianqing City, guarded heavily by Xuan Yi Sect, once exposed, escaping might be a near-impossible task.
"But I can only give it my all!!!"
Qin Qi’s eyes were heavy.
A journey of over a hundred kilometers, normally taking him less than half an hour.
Yet he took several hours.
Once he reached Tianqing City, Qin Qi’s eyes showed a hint of surprise.
"Looking from the outside, Tianqing City seems the same as always, as if nothing has changed..."
