Chapter 1360: Chapter 0774: Who Are You_2 Chapter 1360: Chapter 0774: Who Are You_2 Qi Tian saw that all the princes remained silent, he didn’t press them further, allowing them all to disperse. Then, Qi Tian left Xidu and headed towards the so-called Southern City.
Ever since Qi Tian entered the Imperial Family Secret Territory, all the information he’d gathered through any ans had only ntioned the Three Grand Cities within. Today was the first ti he’d heard of a place called Southern City.
On the road to Southern City, his heart harbored so anticipation, imagining whether Southern City was developed like the other three grand cities, or at least had so scale. But upon his arrival, he was surprised to find that Southern City was rather dilapidated, nothing particularly remarkable about it, and very small in size. The area it covered wasn’t vast, and the population was quite limited. However, one thing brought Qi Tian great relief; among the people gathered in Southern City, he recognized many familiar faces, all from his past dealings or encounters in the Great Zhao Nation.
Qi Tian heaved a sigh of relief. After such a long ti and so much effort, today he had finally found the right place. Unless sothing unexpected happened, he should be able to see Mansion Master Xiao Xiaowu soon.
Qi Tian headed straight towards Southern City. Before he even arrived, people in Southern City had already noticed him. Soone imdiately took flight from within the city and ca to et him.
The two who flew towards him were only cultivators in the Foundation Establishnt Stage, and although both were at the higher levels of this stage, they posed no threat to Qi Tian. If he so wished, he could swat them like flies with a flick of his hand.
After flying closer, the first thing they saw was Qi Tian’s excessively young face, a teenager that could easily make them overlook many things. But soon, they noticed the faint aura emanating from him—an aura they rembered as unique to practitioners in the Gold Core Realm. A teenager in the Gold Core Realm, how could that be possible? Could it be that this Gold Core practitioner had taken so Youth Preserving Pill and was actually an old monster in a teenager’s appearance?
Many speculations flashed through their minds, unsure which was correct and unable to make a judgnt. They didn’t dare to stop Qi Tian directly, instead stepping aside to clear his path. They stood respectfully to one side and inquired if Qi Tian was just passing by or if he had so business there.
The Foundation Establishnt cultivators were even wearing the uniform of Great Zhao Nation’s Imperial Guards, a uniform that had remained unchanged for over a thousand years. Although in the Imperial Family Secret Territory, each prince maintained a number of Imperial Guards, their uniforms had already undergone more or less change and did not completely match that of Great Zhao’s Imperial Guards. This detail further confird that these cultivators ca from the Great Zhao Nation.
Qi Tian, having never t these two Foundation Establishnt cultivators, did not bother explaining much and simply stated that he wished to et Emperor Tian Rui to discuss so matters.
The two Foundation Establishnt cultivators looked at each other, uncertain of what business Qi Tian might have with their emperor and considering whether to stop him. Qi Tian’s Gold Core cultivation was daunting, and they didn’t dare to make a decision on their own. Offending Qi Tian might bring trouble to their emperor.
After communicating through transmission of thoughts, the two cultivators quickly ca up with a plan. They asked Qi Tian to follow them to Southern City, stating they would report the situation to the emperor. As for whether the emperor would agree to et with Qi Tian, that would be up to the emperor’s decision.
Qi Tian had no objections. He activated the sensing function of the Heavenly Dao Engine for Spirit Qi and started scanning Southern City from the air, hoping to find Mansion Master’s whereabouts sooner.
What Qi Tian did not expect was that there was no trace of the Mansion Master’s Spirit Qi fluctuations throughout the entire Southern City. Had he not failed to detect Emperor Rui and the other two Master Mansion Masters’ Spirit Force fluctuations on the way, Qi Tian might have concluded that the Mansion Master had t with foul play.
After leading Qi Tian to Southern City, the two Foundation Establishnt cultivators told him they were going to report to the emperor and asked him to calm his mind and wait briefly. Then they left Qi Tian behind and hurried away, quickly disappearing from his sight.
Qi Tian had been using the sensory function of the Heavenly Dao Engine to lock onto the movents of the two Foundation Establishnt Stage cultivators, curious about what sort of trickery they were up to. To his surprise, after ditching him, they actually left without a trace. They didn’t report to Emperor Tian Rui as they had claid to Qi Tian; they simply abandoned him and didn’t look back.
After discovering this, Qi Tian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He never expected to be played by two Foundation Establishnt cultivators. It had been a long ti since he last experienced sothing like this.
Qi Tian couldn’t be bothered to seek out those two Foundation Establishnt cultivators. If he happened to encounter them in the future, he wouldn’t mind giving them a hard ti, but for now, Qi Tian had no interest in wasting ti on them.
Using the sensory function of the Heavenly Dao Engine, Qi Tian scanned the surroundings and then found several cultivators dressed in Imperial Master Mansion attire. These people were mostly gathered together, not scattered about Southern City.
Qi Tian went straight to the living area of the Imperial Master Mansion disciples and t his fellow sect mbers. This was the first ti since entering the Imperial Family Secret Territory that Qi Tian had seen his fellow disciples. Before seeing them, he thought he might feel a bit excited, but when he actually ca face to face with them, Qi Tian realized he felt no stirrings of emotion. It was as indifferent as seeing any other stranger.
At that mont, Qi Tian understood sothing—he would have a hard ti fitting in with the Imperial Master Mansion again. His cultivation and life were increasingly distant from the Imperial Master Mansion, and it was unlikely there would be much interaction in the future.
Qi Tian shook his head. Now was not the ti to think about these things. He walked straight up to the group of disciples and, with a cupped fist salute, asked, “I don’t know who among you is in charge here. Have them co to et .”
The disciples looked at Qi Tian in surprise. His face seed sowhat familiar to them, but they couldn’t recall where they had seen him before. So they asked, “Who are you?”
Qi Tian took out his identity token from the Imperial Master, showing it to them. The token he produced wasn’t from his ti as an outer sect disciple at the Imperial Master Mansion but one given to him after he beca the Acting Mansion Master of the Imperial Master Mansion. With this token, he could prove to everyone that he was indeed the Acting Mansion Master of the Imperial Master Mansion.
The disciples, after taking the token, were in disbelief. On one hand, the token didn’t look fake—the material and carving technique were unique to the Imperial Master Mansion and difficult for outsiders to replicate. On the other hand, the significance of the token was beyond their comprehension. They had no idea that an Acting Mansion Master had erged from the Imperial Master Mansion, and today, this Acting Mansion Master was right in front of them.
“Who exactly are you?”
Facing the questioning of his fellow sect mbers, Qi Tian said indifferently, “You don’t have the right to question . Now, call your person in charge imdiately, or take to et the Mansion Master.”
“The Mansion Master is not here. Wait here; we’ll call our senior brother for you. Whatever you have to say, you can tell it to the senior brother.”
The disciples hurriedly went to fetch soone, quickly bringing over an inner sect disciple. This senior brother was a high-level cultivator in the Foundation Establishnt Stage, whose level of cultivation was considered very high among all the disciples.
