Special Expert of Beauty CEO

”Spiritual Domain Yama... this name is really... true to its name.”

Watching the Void Black Hands that appeared in a flash under the night sky, Qin Tian felt a chill run down his spine.

These black hands suddenly surged up from the ground, growing larger like dead vines, and the air was filled with the smell of decay...

Terrifying.

Qin Tian looked at the backs of Black and White Impermanence; these two remained nonchalant, muttering the mnemonic under their breath, as if one of them was still holding a talisman, which appeared to be controlling these Void Black Hands.

”The top thirty experts on the Heaven List really are not to be underestimated. But, I wonder what their exact ranks are?”

Qin Tian was curious about the strength of Black and White Impermanence; from the Kung Fu they were currently displaying, because they were releasing talismans for control, Qin Tian could not discern their specific cultivation, not even a major cultivation stage!

”At least above the Small Immortal Realm... hiss, no, I can’t even detect anything with my Divine Sense; are they... stronger than me? Impossible...”

Qin Tian speculated with a shock in his heart.

”Black and White Impermanence, you just wait! Retreat!”

The black-clothed swordsmen found themselves tangled with the Void Black Hands, unable to advance, with more than ten perishing in an instant. The leading swordsman could only retreat rapidly with anger and terror.

This battle lasted less than five minutes before being easily resolved by Black and White Impermanence.

”Wow wow wow... Two masters, Black and White Impermanence are so powerful... I’ve learned a lot, learned a lot.”

As the battle ended, Murong Ao walked up jovially, trying to get close.

It was clear that Murong Ao had not expected that the two people beside him were Black and White Impermanence.

However, Qin Tian recalled that when these two came with Murong Ao earlier, their aura was incredibly subdued, and he had not detected them as masters at all!

Could it be that their ability to conceal their aura is also this strong?

”Kid, you’d better not get close to us... otherwise, you will end up like them...”

As Murong Ao approached, Bai Wuchang turned and chuckled softly, startling Murong Ao so much that he quickly backed away.

Murong Ao glanced at the distant pool of blood Bai Wuchang pointed at, gulped awkwardly, and said, ”Both of you, we’re on the same side, can’t we be a bit friendlier?”

Bai Wuchang completely ignored Murong Ao, seemingly deeming him unworthy of conversation.

Her gaze shifted to Qin Tian, who was also looking at her, and beneath the heavy makeup, Qin Tian felt the coldness and allure in Bai Wuchang’s eyes. What kind of woman is this...? Qin Tian couldn’t fathom her; she seemed like a cold, lifeless being, devoid of any emotion!

”Brother, why does Fourth Emperor want us to help this kid? I see he only has cultivation in the Great Immortal Realm...”

Bai Wuchang whispered to Black Impermanence.

”Only in the Great Immortal Realm...”

Murong Ao nearly fainted upon hearing this, ”That cultivation, I could aspire to it for a lifetime, and you’re saying, ’only...’ ”

Qin Tian was also astonished, frowning and saying, ”So powerful? Even my Great Immortal Realm cultivation is beneath notice? Impossible!”

”He’s the Marquis of Western Peace, adept at warfare and killing...”

Black Impermanence spoke with his back to Qin Tian, finishing in a low tone, ”Let’s leave.”

The pair did not bid farewell to Murong Ao or Qin Tian; they simply left.

Qin Tian said nothing, while Murong Ao looked at their backs, exclaiming, ”Both seniors, you’re leaving. What if more come to kill us, what then?”

”No need to worry, before they come, there will be four deaths; you can safely return to Imperial City, and remember, go directly to that place.”

Black Impermanence dropped this line, and with Bai Wuchang, vanished into the distance!

”Are they... really ghosts?”

Murong Ao took a deep breath, shaking his head, ”The top experts on the Heaven List couldn’t be that formidable, could they... this couldn’t be...”

Qin Tian stepped forward, saying, ”I heard they are top thirty on the Heaven List; do you know their ranks?”

”I heard... Bai Wuchang was ranked twenty-fifth, Black Impermanence fifteenth... but those were rankings from two editions ago; last edition, in which you participated, they didn’t appear, so their names are no longer on the Heaven List.”

Murong Ao looked at Qin Tian and said.

Qin Tian paused, considering, ”No, no... even a fifteenth-ranked Heaven List master shouldn’t have such disdain for my Middle Stage Great Immortal Realm cultivation... I heard the tenth Heaven List master has only just barely broken through to the Great Immortal Realm...”

”What’s wrong?”

Seeing Qin Tian dazed, Murong Ao said, ”Marquis of Western Peace, you must be shocked? Shocked by how powerful these masters are?”

”Actually, you needn’t be; the Spiritual Domain World is full of wonders, lacking nothing except cultivation immortality masters and legends.”

”Take Imperial City for instance; it may not seem impressive, you may think it’s just ordinary; anyway, I once overheard my elders talking secretly, saying that Imperial City harbors all sorts of formidable powers, although outwardly calm, is teeming beneath the surface, not just some masters or a Heaven List encompassing Imperial City masters, it’s deep waters.”

Murong Ao’s words brought thoughts to Qin Tian’s mind.

Back when he was in East Capital, Qin Tian had heard that Imperial City was teeming with experts, strong as a cloud.

Upon arriving in Imperial City, he did not realize how quickly he ascended, believing his remarkable talent had left others behind in his wake.

Now, he was finally awake.

It seemed he had just stepped into the first layer of the stormy forces of Imperial City, seeing just the surface.

The sneer from the dying War King lingered in Qin Tian’s mind, who is that mysterious figure behind it?

The Fourth Prince?

Qin Tian was uncertain.

Is there anyone else besides that mysterious figure who can match him?

Qin Tian remained unsure.

On the surface, he only knew about the struggle between the Ninth Prince and the Crown Prince, and possibly, the mysterious State Preceptor represented a third faction.

Three major forces.

But whose person is the State Preceptor? Could it be that like the War King, he also seeks independence?

”No, I seem to have forgotten someone... the War God. The reclusive War God, has he truly retired?”

Qin Tian suddenly recalled the War King’s words; judging from the War King’s deathbed remarks, the War God hadn’t retired but retreated behind the scenes.

Back then, the War God, War King, and State Preceptor were esteemed ministers assisting the Ice Emperor in seizing power, their military achievements dazzling!

Among these three, rumor had it the War God was the most impressive! The strongest!

Victorious in every battle, invincible in every attack, buried eighty thousand alive, slaughtering thirteen cities!

Bestowed the title War God!

This man had vanished from the Court for over a decade, silently disappearing, who could believe it?
