”After heading south, we’ll circle west, following the direction of Shui City to enter the West State territory.”

Qin Tian and Murong Fei, along with eighteen members of Long Yin, traveled south for over forty kilometers before Qin Tian decided to change direction and go west.

His ultimate goal was to reach West State, as it was the safest place.

”Lord Qin, we follow your lead. As long as you are safe, our mission is considered complete.” The leader of the eighteen Long Yin, named Wang Han, looked around vigilantly and said, ”Based on my understanding of the Soul Suppressing Hall, those people will not let us go easily. I suggest we hurry up.”

Qin Tian nodded. The twenty men swiftly moved west. To avoid being detected by enemies, they refrained from flying and used True Qi to speed along the ground.

”Qin Tian, what about Sister Bing and the others? We’ve left, but Sister Bing, Fan Bing, and Qiao Wenxuan from Qilin City are still in the Imperial City. What if they...”

While traveling, Murong Fei looked at Qin Tian with a worried expression.

Qin Tian frowned, not pausing his steps, and said while looking ahead, ”I’ve done my best. I hope the Fourth Prince won’t be too ruthless.”

Turning back to Murong Fei, Qin Tian said, ”When we were taken by the Fourth Prince at your place, Duan Xiaodao was not taken. He still has a force, so I told him before I left to seek help from the Fourteenth Prince, begging him to rescue them. For now, I can only rely on the Fourteenth Prince. Our estate originally belonged to the Fourteenth Prince. As long as he is willing to help, the Fourth Prince’s men shouldn’t easily enter his residence...”

”However, I am not confident. The Fourteenth Prince alone seems insignificant compared to the Fourth Prince. Perhaps he can’t compete. It depends on whether the Fourteenth Prince can assist me at the crucial moment.”

”I also thought, if anything happens to Sister Bing and the others, their lives shouldn’t be in danger. The Fourth Prince knows my character. His wisest move would be to use them as hostages to force me to surrender the forty thousand troops of West State.”

”I think he will do this. So, Sister Bing and the others are temporarily safe, whereas if we fall into the Fourth Prince’s hands, he definitely won’t negotiate with me as before. He will likely kill me to eliminate future trouble.”

Qin Tian had thought about these matters repeatedly.

Besides ensuring the safety of himself and Murong Fei, Qin Tian could only rely entirely on the Fourteenth Prince for the lives of Fan Bing and Duan Xiaodao. If Fan Bing was captured, rescuing her from the Fourth Prince would be almost impossible!

The twenty continued west, moving swiftly through forests and plains.

”Not good, there are people over there!”

Leading the group, Qin Tian noticed several dozen silhouettes in the sky in the distance. Those silhouettes were flying and observing below, clearly spotting Qin Tian and the others moving rapidly through the forest below.

”We’ve been spotted,” Murong Fei said, taking a deep breath.

Wang Han focused, saying, ”Judging by their figures, they must be from the Soul Suppressing Hall. Lord Qin, should we avoid them or ambush them?”

Qin Tian was taken aback, ”An ambush, can we manage it?”

”It’s fifty-fifty. The Soul Suppressing Hall only has a dozen people, fewer than us. If we can set an ambush here and lure them in, we should be able to fight them.”

Qin Tian raised his eyes to observe. The Soul Suppressing Hall members didn’t seem particularly strong. An ambush here presented a significant chance of annihilating them.

However, Qin Tian worried that a battle here would attract more people, and when enemy reinforcements arrived, their group of twenty wouldn’t stand a chance.

”Let’s split into two groups a few hundred meters apart and quietly move west. If they don’t come down, that’s fine, but if they pursue us, our groups can support each other and counterattack.”

After some thought, Qin Tian opted for the most cautious approach, reacting as events unfolded.

However, Qin Tian underestimated the Soul Suppressing Hall, who were adept at tracking. Their location was already monitored by eighteen members of the Soul Suppressing Hall.

Confident in their abilities, these individuals pursued Qin Tian and his party head-on.

”Since they’re closing in, let’s finish this quickly. Remember, don’t get caught up in the fight; they might have reinforcements!”

Seeing the eighteen experts from the Soul Suppressing Hall flying above him, Qin Tian decisively ordered a counterattack.

Without hesitation, Qin Tian and the others charged towards the eighteen assailants!

The members of the Soul Suppressing Hall were skilled fighters, but so were those from Long Yin!

The two sides clashed in the sky above the forest, where the battle raged dramatically!

With the support of Qin Tian and Murong Fei, Long Yin’s strength increased significantly, and with their numerical advantage, they quickly gained the upper hand.

Within a few minutes, realizing they were outmatched, the Soul Suppressing Hall fighters attempted to escape to the ground, only to be pursued relentlessly by Qin Tian and his group, resulting in a one-sided assault!

These fighters, although at the Early Stage of the Small Immortal Realm, were still considered formidable within the Imperial City despite the gap in cultivation with Qin Tian.

The intense battle lasted under half an hour, with all eighteen Soul Suppressing Hall members eliminated under Qin Tian’s command.

Their group suffered two losses.

After regrouping, the remaining eighteen continued west.

Buzzing!

Suddenly, powerful currents of True Qi surged from the sky and around the forest, causing Qin Tian’s group to freeze momentarily!

”Such strong True Qi!”

Wang Han furrowed his brows, saying, ”Lord Qin, it seems we’ve encountered experts!”

Qin Tian sensed the True Qi, feeling a sense of familiarity.

Buzzing...

The oppressive force of the True Qi persisted, and soon several dozen people descended from the distant sky.

Simultaneously, behind Qin Tian, several hundred meters away, another dozen slowly approached.

Qin Tian’s group of eighteen was surrounded!

The encircling group of over thirty people, with their overwhelming True Qi, put the Long Yin members on high alert!

”Something’s off, within that True Qi are two highly unusual presences...”

Wang Han, being a Late Stage master of the Small Immortal Realm, was highly sensitive to True Qi.

Qin Tian focused on the two figures approaching from afar, whispering, ”Yes, those two haven’t appeared until now, and now they’re closing in on us...”
