Chapter 113 -0123: Peach Wood Fish Scale Formation

“Pursuers? What does the princess and her group mean by this? Are they trying to drag us into trouble? This is clearly a setup against us, isn’t it?”

Wang Haiyan shook her head, saying, “I don’t know the Princess’s intentions, but what I do know is that in a situation like this, we can’t stand by and watch. Leaving aside the Princess’s noble identity, if something goes wrong, we’ll all be doomed. We are all cultivators of the Great Zhao Cultivation World. When such a situation arises in the Lianying Realm, we can’t sit by. I won’t force anyone who wants to leave, but if you choose to stay, let’s get ready together.”

No one left, everyone knew that the closer one got to the safe house, the more important it was to stick together. Running away might seem like a way to avoid helping the princess and her team, but in reality, it would just be pushing oneself toward a dead end.

After months of testing, Wang Haiyan and her team were extremely experienced. Those without mounts swiftly constructed a defensive position. Those with mounts dismounted and quickly nourished their mounts with food and water to recover their strength.

In Wang Haiyan’s hand held a magic staff. The staff was fiery red, with multiple rune marks resembling fire patterns. A fire attribute spirit stone was embedded at the top of the staff. This was a fire series magic staff, a middle-grade spirit-level weapon known as the Fire Chopstick Staff, which she had used for many years and overcame many formidable enemies with.

Wang Haiyan was very considerate, she rode on the back of a red-eyed demon wolf towards the princess’s team while shouting, “Princess, come over here quickly, I’m here to cover for you. ”

Wang Haiyan raised her Fire Chopstick Staff high and aimed it at the Demonic Bird Rider in the sky. She shot three consecutive fireballs from the staff towards the rider.

The Demon Bird Rider just sneered, without even bothering to dodge. As a result, the three fireballs flew more than eighty meters into the sky before losing their momentum, and they descended towards the ground.

Wang Haiyan was a little embarrassed, but she controlled the red-eyed demon wolf and ran to Zhao Qian. Zhao Qian’s unparalleled beauty and her sharp aura briefly dazed him, but he snapped back quickly and asked with concern, “Princess, are you all right?”

“I’m fine. Thank you for coming to the rescue,” Zhao Qian said.

“It’s my duty, Princess. Please, you and your companions, come and rest a bit in the defensive camp we’ve set up,” Wang Haiyan invited.

When Qi Tian and the rest reached Wang Haiyan’s simple camp, they found an area of about 150 square meters fenced off. Array flags were inserted at different locations and a protective shield appeared over the camp, like an upside-down bowl protecting the area, upon activation with an Array Disk.

“A Peachwood Fish Scale Array?” Huang Liuyan recognized the defensive array at first glance, she frowned slightly, “This formation is too weak, it works against ordinary cultivators, but I’m afraid it will fail against strong enemies. Change to a different array method?”

“It’s easy for you to say. This Peachwood Fish Scale Array cost nearly a million silver before entering the Lianying Realm. If you have a better protective array at hand, show us,” a female cultivator following Wang Haiyan retorted indignantly. She did not dare to provoke the princess, but she didn’t like Huang Liuyan, who appeared aloof and complacent.

Huang Liuyan frowned slightly, not because of the disrespectful female cultivator, but because she did have better protective arrays than the Peachwood Fish Scale Array, but none of them were suitable for use during the Qi Cultivation Period, as the Lianying Realm did not allow powers beyond the Qi Cultivation Period. Thus, she could not deploy them.

Just because Huang Liuyan wasn’t angry didn’t mean that Zhao Qian would tolerate anyone disrespecting Huang Liuyan. Her face darkened, about to rebuke the female cultivator, but Qi Tian quickly pulled her back, whispering, “Princess, let me handle this.”

Zhao Qian glanced at him and nodded.

Qi Tian knew this wasn’t the time for internal strife, so he walked over to Wang Haiyan, saying, “Brother Wang, I hope you can control your brothers and sisters.”

“A Qi Cultivating Stage 4 brat dares to talk here?” retorted the same female cultivator.

“Before I turned thirteen, I reached Qi Cultivating Stage 4. Ma’am, when you were my age, which stage of Qi Cultivation did you reach? If you were not as good as me, shut up,” Qi Tian retorted sarcastically.

The female cultivator was trembling with rage. She was only in her twenties, when had she become the “old lady” in Qi Tian’s mouth?

Wang Haiyan was impressed, she had truly overlooked Qi Tian’s age before, and was taken aback when she realized. Back in her days at the Imperial Master Mansion, she was considered talented, but when she was at Qi Tian’s age, she was only at the Refining God First Level Peak, yet people already praised her as a “genius”. But now compared to Qi Tian, she was insignificant.

She wasn’t sure how many meridians Qi Tian had opened, but advancing to Qi Cultivating Stage 4 at such a young age was an incredible achievement. Smiling, she said, “Young brother, I’m Wang Haiyan. May I have your name?”

“Brother Wang, I am Qi Tian,” Qi Tian responded.

“Qi Tian? This name…I seem to have heard it somewhere. Ah, I remember now. Some time ago, the princess held a public test for the outer sect disciples at Huangque Hall. You’re the Qi Tian who achieved Qi Cultivation First Level and advanced four energy veins, right? My apologies for my oversight.”

Qi Tian’s public testing at the square of Imperial Master Mansion had caused quite a stir, and even elite disciples of Sky Eagle Hall like Wang Haiyan, who usually paid little attention to outer sect disciples, had caught wind of it.

The female cultivator from earlier interrupted disdainfully, “He’s a waste who can only advance the fifth energy vein by two inches. His potential is depleted, his future accomplishments will be limited. What respect does he deserve?”

When Qi Tian underwent the test, not only did he advance four energy veins at the Qi Cultivation First Level, three of which were complete, it also sparked conversations when his fifth energy vein only advanced by two inches. By using the Qin Pulse, he could only stimulate a two-inch water column. This led those with knowledge of cultivation to conclude that Qi Tian exhausted his potential during the Qi Cultivation First Level. They believed he would no longer show extraordinary performances, which saved Qi Tian a lot of troubles.

When the female cultivator mentioned this, it was like she was twisting a knife in Qi Tian’s heart, which she did on purpose.

Although Qi Tian pretended to be angry, in his heart, he didn’t care. He knew his limitations. He had advanced 14 energy veins, 11 of them were complete. In the entire Cultivation World, cases like his were very rare. If these facts were exposed, it would astound many and attract many who would want to vie for his head.

In such circumstances, when everyone’s attention was on Qi Tian’s fifth energy vein that had only advanced by two inches and believed his potential was depleted, it surprisingly gave him opportunities.

“Ma’am, don’t you know the principle of restraining from hitting someone in the face or disclose one’s shortcomings?” Qi Tian said harshly.

The female cultivator thrust out her relatively flat chest and said, “What I said was the truth. What are you going to do about it?”

“Junior sister, don’t say any more.” Wang Haiyan hurriedly intervened. “Junior brother Qi Tian, Junior sister Li Xue is forthright and cannot hold back, don’t get upset. In fact, she admires you too. Advancing four energy veins at the Qi Cultivation First Level is arguably unprecedented.”

Qi Tian grunted and said, “In consideration of Brother Wang, I won’t take it to heart. Brother Wang, for this cooperation, I hope we can set aside prejudices and cooperate sincerely. Especially towards the princess and my other companion, you can’t neglect them and must give the sufficient respect.”

Upon saying this, Qi Tian stepped forward and lowered his voice to Wang Haiyan, “Brother Wang, don’t blame me for being loquacious. Think about it. Could someone who can accompany the princess not have any influence?”

Wang Haiyan had a glimpse of understanding and hurriedly gave Qi Tian a bow, “Thank you, Junior brother Qi Tian for reminding me. I will manage my people.”

Qi Tian added, “My companion said that the power of the Peach Wood Fish Scale Array is a bit low, this is not a joke. Brother Wang, you need to take it seriously. You understand Array much better than I do. Can you think of a way to enhance the power of the Peach Wood Fish Scale Array?”

Wang Haiyan is no-nonsense in this regard. He understands that if they can enhance the power of the Peach Wood Fish Scale Array, their safety will be greatly secured. “Yes, all the array flags and array disks of the Peach Wood Fish Scale Array are embedded with spirit stones. You know how expensive spirit stones are. Some places that could be embedded were not, and some places whose spirit stones have been working for a long time and need to be replaced were not replaced. If all the possible places can be embedded and all the ones due for replacement are replaced, then the defensive power of the Peach Wood Fish Scale Array can at least increase by thirty percent.”

“Thirty percent? Good, I will ask the princess.” Qi Tian had spirit stones, but at this time, if he took them out, it would just mean trouble for himself.

Qi Tian went to where Huang Liuyan was, explained the situation, and Huang Liuyan directly took out a box and handed it to Qi Tian, “There are ten spirit stones in there, give it to them.”

Qi Tian returned to Wang Haiyan’s side, handed him the box with the ten spirit stones inside, and asked, “Are ten spirit stones enough?”

Wang Haiyan nodded quickly. He clearly saw that the spirit stones were given by Huang Liuyan. If he was initially skeptical about Huang Liuyan’s identity, his doubts were completely dispelled now. Someone who could casually give out ten spirit stones in the Imperial Master Mansion must not be underestimated. On this basis alone, Huang Liuyan was not someone he could afford to offend. He decided privately that he must restrain Li Xue and others, they absolutely can’t clash with Qi Tian’s people.
