Chapter 739: Chapter 0465: Dare Not Disrespect in the Slightest_2 Chapter 739: Chapter 0465: Dare Not Disrespect in the Slightest_2 Not only did he block it, when Zhang Weing tried to withdraw his spear in preparation for another attack, he found his long spear tightly caught in the Linked-Chain Armor. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t pull out his weapon.
Zhang Weing was horrified. As he was about to let go and throw away his spear, Qi Tian quickly moved closer to him.
Qi Tian threw out a punch that hit the middle of Zhang Weing’s back. The force penetrated his body, entering directly into his body, shattering his heart’s vessels. Zhang Weing’s vision turned black as he collapsed forward. His legs kicked in agony a few tis before he died on the spot.
With a wave of his hand, Qi Tian collected Zhang Weing’s corpse. Subsequently, without needing his command, Gao Jini rushed into Zhang Weing’s courtyard and thoroughly searched the place.
Zhang Weing used a Storage Bag. It hung on his body. The things he left in the courtyard weren’t many, but there were quite a bit, including the five million taels of silver that were stolen. The silver had been lted down. Even though there were sporadic hints of the original silver color, most of it had been replaced with a burnished black color. This was no longer silver, but the residue left after the extraction of the silver essence.
Gao Jini and her team turned Zhang Weing’s courtyard inside out and even dug three feet into the ground of the yard and house, hoping to find more valuables. Sadly, Zhang Weing was not wealthy and had nothing buried in the ground.
Qi Tian led Gao Jini and the others, and left. Wu Shenglian had been avoiding him all along and the rest of the Four Seas Bank mbers didn’t dare to confront him. They hid in the dark, watching Qi Tian and his party depart with the sa gaze one would use to see off the plague.
“Master, if you don’t completely wipe out the enemy, they will regrow in the spring breeze. Let secretly go back and get rid of everyone in Four Seas Bank,” said Gao Jini with a hardened expression.
Qi Tian waved his hand and said, “Not necessary. Our visit to Four Seas Bank is no secret, and too many people are aware of it. Do we have to kill everyone at Four Seas Bank and everyone else who knows about this?”
Gao Jini lowered her head. Were the roles reversed, she would’ve unquestioningly killed everyone who knew for the sake of her own safety. But Qi Tian was different. He wasn’t a killer and had a certain degree of respect for life, unlike her who’d grown indifferent to the lives of others. This was an ideological disagreent that was hard to rectify. But, as Qi Tian’s Immortal Slave, she was obligated to follow his orders.
Qi Tian was aware that his actions could trigger certain consequences, but he couldn’t just massacre so many people for his own safety. Killing in pursuit of absolute safety can easily lead one into a dead-end, possibly devolving into killing for the sake of killing, thus deviating into demonization. Furthermore, the indiscriminate killing didn’t guarantee safety. Could anyone guarantee that he wouldn’t encounter a true expert during a rampage, and instead of him killing others, it might end up as him getting killed?
Qi Tian always believed that the only way to ensure his safety was to build up his own strength. Only by gaining an overwhelming advantage, no matter how powerful the enemy, they would not be his match. If they dared to kill him, then they were rely lambs to the slaughter.
After Qi Tian and his group left, the Four Seas Bank mbers ca out and saw the ssy yard of Zhang Weing’s residence. All mbers of the Four Seas Bank felt an eerier atmosphere as the person in charge of the local Four Seas Bank turned to Wu Shenglian for advice.
Zhang Weing’s death has brought imnse joy to Wu Shenglian. She is finally free of the fear of Zhang Weing ruining her innocence during his beastly rages. Nonetheless, such feelings of joy cannot be revealed publicly. She said, “Is it worth it to stand on the opposing side and break ties with a talented young man like Qi Tian, just for Zhang Weing? Have you considered the possibility that if the headquarters sent people to kill Qi Tian and failed, Qi Tian might seek revenge after he beca stronger? If he does not co back for revenge, things are fine, but if he does, can you fend him off?”
Upon hearing this, the Four Seas Bank manager felt a chill down his spine. Qi Tian, who was yet to reach the Half-step Golden Core, could already kill Zhang Weing of the Gold Core Stage 4th Level. What would Qi Tian’s strength be like in ten or twenty years, or even in just five to six years?
The manager of the Four Seas Bank pondered for a while before finally proposing, “Elder, do you think it’s possible to recruit Qi Tian into the Four Seas Bank? With the potential that Qi Tian has shown, if nurtured properly, his future is boundless.”
Wu Shenglian said: “Qi Tian does have a great potential, but from my observations, he is not the type willing to be second fiddle. I fear that our chances of successfully inviting him might be slim. Moreover, he is under Imperial Master Mansion, and the Mansion Master of the Imperial Master Mansion, Xiao Xiaowu, was sent out for trials by the National Master Manor in Wanjie City. In other words, Qi Tian is essentially aligned with the National Master Manor in Wanjie City. Can we really compete with them to win him over?”
The manager of Four Seas Bank pondered for a mont before saying: “How would we know if we don’t make an attempt? What if Qi Tian agrees? If he doesn’t, then we can determine our next course of action.”
With Gao Jini and others in tow, Qi Tian returned to Wangdu County and paid Marquis Ma a visit. Prior to Qi Tian’s arrival, Marquis Ma had been tied up and kneeling on the ground for quite so ti.
Prince Zhao had already had soone examine Marquis Ma’s health. Although his condition wasn’t great, it wasn’t terrible either. He would need so ti to recover.
Seeing Qi Tian co to visit, Marquis Ma hurriedly ignored his discomfort and rolled off the bed to kneel before Qi Tian. “Thank you, Master, for saving my life.”
Qi Tian casually threw a pill at Marquis Ma and said: “Take it, and all your ailnts will be cured.”
Without any hesitation, Marquis Ma swallowed the pill.
Qi Tian nodded in satisfaction and said: “The reason I have co to see you today is to ask you to handle a matter.”
Marquis Ma quickly said: “Master, you have saved my life more than once. My life is yours. Just tell , what do you need to do?”
Qi Tian said: “It’s simple. In the next few days, I have so matters to attend to, and Prince Zhao might not be able to manage all affairs. During this period, you need to control the Northern Expedition Army and eliminate those with ulterior motives. If there is ti, reorganize the Northern Expedition Army. Divide them into frontline and secondary teams. The frontline will be the main force, and the secondary will be the support. Once the reorganization is complete, we will officially begin the Northern Expedition.”
Marquis Ma did not know what Qi Tian was going to do with Prince Zhao. He didn’t dare to ask. He just quickly agreed and promised Qi Tian that he would carry out his orders.
After instructing Marquis Ma, Qi Tian went to find Prince Zhao.
Prince Zhao was deep in his work. Nearly ninety percent of the soldiers in the Northern Expedition Army were clamoring for paynt. The situation stabilized only due to Qi Tian’s tily arrival and once again distributing countless gold and silver. Then he acted decisively, executing the betraying Hard Faction. While this stabilized the Northern Expedition Army, it also brought a lot of problems that needed his attention.
“Prince Zhao.” Qi Tian called out.
Hearing the call, Prince Zhao looked up. Seeing that it was Qi Tian, he imdiately rose from behind his desk and walked over. He perford a deep bow in front of Qi Tian. “Master, why have you co? If there’s anything you need, you could have just sent soone to summon . Why trouble yourself to co in person?”
It was Qi Tian who had personally helped Prince Zhao to his current position, for which Prince Zhao had always been imnsely respectful, never daring to show the slightest disrespect.
