”Are we really leaving? Young Master, how should we proceed? Should I gather everyone first?”

Seeing the determination in Qin Tian’s eyes, Du Qiuniang asked.

Qin Tian shook his head, ”We don’t need to gather the guards. It’s best if we leave quietly, just the four of us. If we alert the enemy, we might not make it out at all.”

Qin Tian’s gaze swept over Zhou Yang and the others, and they all nodded in agreement.

They all knew clearly that this time, if things turned ugly, the Ninth Prince and the Crown Prince would definitely not give them any chance!

The four of them packed up and prepared to leave in the afternoon.

At this moment, the Imperial City was already under lockdown. After disguising themselves, Qin Tian and his group exited through the West Gate.

After leaving, the four traveled westward. However, after walking just a few dozen miles, Qin Tian sensed something was amiss.

”With our departure, there should have been some noise. At the very least, the Ninth Prince and the Crown Prince must have set up multiple scouts around our residence. Why haven’t the enemies shown any reaction? Was our departure too easy?”

On the road, Qin Tian discussed with Zhou Yang and the others.

Zhou Yang nodded slowly, ”I’ve been wondering as well. We’ve left, yet the Ninth Prince and the Crown Prince have shown no response?”

”Moreover, we exited through the West Gate and have been heading towards the West State. Logically, once they realized we’re not at the mansion, they should have caught up by now. Why hasn’t there been a trace of information about us?”

Zhou Yang and Qin Tian’s conversation left Xiao Zhuang and Du Qiuniang nodding in bafflement. It was indeed peculiar.

”We can’t go on like this. Our path seems too obvious. From now on, we should take winding paths and avoid the main roads. Even in disguise, we might still be easily found,” Xiao Zhuang suggested.

Qin Tian extended his Divine Sense, frowning as he said, ”Changing our route now, I’m afraid, is already too late!”

With these words, Zhou Yang and the others immediately fixed their eyes on him, their faces reflecting shock.

Aside from Qin Tian, Du Qiuniang had the highest cultivation. Her Divine Sense spread out, and her expression changed slightly as she whispered, ”We’re surrounded by people!”

Zhou Yang and Xiao Zhuang were both perplexed, looking around without spotting anyone.

But just as they were feeling puzzled, a wave of True Qi abruptly surged toward them, and they instantly sensed a menacing killing intent!

”Hahaha... Qin Tian, still thinking of escaping? Where do you think you’re going?”

A True Qi-imbued roar resounded, followed by dozens of True Qi figures rapidly closing in from the distance and reaching the four of them in no time.

About forty people arrived, all elite assassins, landing and surrounding Qin Tian and his group. Simultaneously, they formed a True Qi Shield in the air to prevent Qin Tian and the others from escaping!

It was a kill-or-be-killed situation! This time, indeed, it was aimed to kill!

The speaker was a middle-aged man with a round face, seemingly kind but exuding an aura of authority and coldness, a look honed by killing countless people.

”Are you sent by the Ninth Prince or the Crown Prince?”

Gazing at these men, Qin Tian asked in a low voice.

At the same time, he transmitted True Qi to Du Qiuniang, ”Qiuniang, when the fight starts, just focus on protecting Old Zhou and Old Third. Leave the rest to me.”

Du Qiuniang transmitted back, ”Young Master, be careful. They are definitely targeting you. Don’t worry about us; I’ll do my best to protect them.”

In reality, Zhou Yang and Xiao Zhuang’s cultivation wasn’t that low, but they were stuck at the Longevity Realm, unable to progress.

However, their opponents all radiated the aura of Small Immortal Realm experts, with even the weakest seemingly at the Early Stage of that realm.

For Qin Tian, these opponents were easily dismissible, but for Zhou Yang and Xiao Zhuang, they were formidable adversaries.

Fortunately, Du Qiuniang had entered the Small Immortal Realm and could handle Early and Middle Stage opponents without issue.

Yet, protecting Zhou Yang and Xiao Zhuang while fighting these foes was indeed challenging.

”Heh, your questions are irrelevant now.”

The middle-aged man coldly chuckled, locking eyes with Qin Tian, ”Just remember, today someone is here to kill you, and you’ll perish in this wilderness, that’s all you need to know!”

With that, the man waved his hand, ”Attack!”

Dozens of True Qi waves roared towards Qin Tian!

Just as Du Qiuniang mentioned, most of the attackers targeted Qin Tian, with only a few engaging Du Qiuniang and the others.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Qin Tian threw three punches, blocking his attackers. Simultaneously, he gathered his True Qi, shouting ”Break!” as his powerful aura shattered the True Qi Shield encircling them!

”After absorbing so much Primordial Energy from the Martial King last time, today, I want to see how much my combat power has increased!”

Facing the onslaught, Qin Tian’s eyes gleamed red, his True Qi enveloping his entire body.

To ease Du Qiuniang’s pressure, he distanced himself from her and the others.

This way, as long as he suppressed these attackers, Du Qiuniang and the others would naturally be safe.

”Haha, Pingxi Marquis... Your strength isn’t weak at all; it seems you’ve reached the Great Immortal Realm. No wonder I was ordered to come after you!”

Seeing Qin Tian’s cultivation level, the middle-aged man coldly chuckled, his body radiating a pale yellow aura, casting an unusual glow!

This man was also a Great Immortal Realm expert!

Qin Tian focused his gaze on this person, dismissing the others until now.

Initially, seeing over thirty attackers with only Middle Stage Small Immortal Realm cultivation, he had not been concerned.

Now, a formidable opponent emerged.

”Just one Great Immortal Realm... Is that all? Interesting, your superiors underestimate me, Qin Tian. One Great Immortal Realm with dozens of minions trying to stop and kill me? Hahaha...”

Qin Tian locked eyes on the middle-aged man, gesturing him forward, ”Come on, whether you’re with the Ninth Prince or the Crown Prince’s lackey, today, there’s no return!”

”I’ll let them know that having murderous intentions against me is an irreparable mistake in their lives!”

With that, Qin Tian’s right hand flashed red, and the Red Sword appeared!
