Facing Wu Jin Xiu’s pretentious questioning, the corners of Qi Tian’s mouth lifted in a faint sneer. “Wu Jin Xiu, stop playing the innocent victim. To be completely honest, your collaboration with the bandit Shi Yufeng to plot for his ambush on me is no longer a secret. Shi Yufeng has confessed everything, the plot between you two, your despicable deeds that led to harming over a hundred fellow cultivators from Guchuan City, and how you gained countless benefits from it. Would you like me to recite a list of cultivators that your scheme has harmed?”

“You, you… are falsely accusing me.” Wu Jin Xiu immediately denied it without acknowledgment. “What are you all still standing around for? Why aren’t you acting together to kill this deceitful brat?”

The guards didn’t dare to disobey Wu Jin Xiu and hurriedly drew their bladed weapons, which were inscribed with activated runes, and rushed toward Qi Tian.

Roar…

A deafening roar erupted from Hu Niu’s throat. She leaped and blocked Qi Tian from the rushing guards. The cultivation level of these guards was at the Qi Cultivation Mid-Phase, which was way below Hu Niu’s level. Hu Niu didn’t need to make much effort. With a swipe of her left and right paws, she sent several guards flying.

Wu Jin Xiu didn’t have much hope that the guards could make much difference. However, he didn’t expect them to be so useless, stiffening his face. He quickly activated the runes on his earth-grade top-grade spirit armor, releasing his true cultivation level, the imposing aura of the Nine Levels of Qi Cultivation, with no attempt to hide it. To conspire with the bandit Shi Yufeng, making him obey his command, while managing such a big business in Guchuan City, he needed to have significant cultivation to maintain his standing.

People all around gasped in surprise. No one expected Wu Jin Xiu, who normally had a pleasant greasy smile, to have such high cultivation. Those who usually joked and bantered with Wu Jin Xiu all felt a shiver of fear. The Nine Levels of Qi Cultivation is the highest-ranking group in the Lianying Realm, each of them either leads a sect or commands a powerful family. They couldn’t believe that a man of Nine Levels of Qi Cultivation, Wu Jin Xiu, was just a steward at a mount shop.

“Haha,” laughed Qi Tian. “Wu Jin Xiu, tired of pretending to be harmless?”

“Hmph. Even a clay figure has a temper. You so shamelessly insult me, even if I’m easygoing, I can’t let you bully me,” Wu Jin Xiu said, stirring up his True Essence, his desolate appearance disappearing. He seemed to be a different person, exuding a master’s aura, which evoked three points of awe.

“Kid, you’re young but you don’t value your life. Not only did you insult me today, but also slandered me. I suppose this isn’t your original intention, and you’re being instigated by someone. I shouldn’t hold a grudge against a child like you, but as the saying goes ‘If you don’t discipline the child, he’ll become a troublemaker’. If I don’t discipline you today, you’re bound to cause more trouble in the future. So today, I’ll give you a lesson on behalf of your elders. As long as you can receive three of my palms, we can let bygones be bygones for today’s incident.”

Wu Jin Xiu’s words sparked applause from the crowd around him.

“Great.”

“The shopkeeper, not only do you possess the strength of a grandmaster, but you also have the demeanor of a grandmaster. For that, I have to toast you.”

…

Upon finding out that Wu Jin Xiu was at the Nine Levels of Qi Cultivation, countless people in the audience wanted to cling to Wu Jin Xiu, this strong backing, and various flattering words were uttered, as if they were free of cost.

Wu Jin Xiu remained expressionless, his eyes as sharp as a blade, firmly fixed on Qi Tian. He didn’t want his cultivation to be exposed so that he could play the role of a wolf in sheep’s clothing, causing people to let their guard down against him. However, today, Qi Tian ruined everything he had planned, and Qi Tian even revealed his real identity. If the cultivators in Guchuan City believe that Wu Jin Xiu colluded with Shi Yufeng to rob and kill the passing cultivators, then even if he reached Nine Levels of Qi Cultivation, he would not be able to stay in Guchuan City. Now, all he could do was to kill Qi Tian as fast as possible. With him as the only living witness gone, even if someone suspected him, what could they do? Would anyone dare to expel him, a cultivator at the Nine Levels of Qi Cultivation, from Guchuan City just because of suspicion?

“The Breeze Fan Palm.”

Wu Jin Xiu gave no time for Qi Tian to prepare. As soon as he said, “let bygones be bygones,” he lifted his palm. A gust of wind converged in his palm, and then Wu Jin Xiu swung a palm at Qi Tian.

One of the experienced individuals present exclaimed: “Breeze Fan Palm, a middle-grade mysterious level palm technique. It’s not a martial arts move that anyone can learn just like that. It’s said that a Breeze Fan Palm, when fully mastered, can increase your strength by three hundred pound, which is quite formidable. But the most terrifying part of the Breeze Fan Palm is not the added strength, but the gale it sweeps up, which can exert a pressure on the enemy before the attack, making you feel like you’re being blown by a gust, unable to stand firm or keep your eyes open. In this case, how can one fight against shopkeeper Wu?”

Qi Tian did not hear this spectator’s commentary, but he felt as if he was standing in a fierce wind. However, this bit of power was not even close enough to bother him. Squinting his eyes, he aimed at the direction of Wu Jin Xiu’s Breeze Fan Palm, bellowed, and threw a punch.

Eight Desolate Demon Tiger Fist, Eighth Move— Tiger Ambition.

The Heavenly Dao Engine kicked into gear, doubling his strength.

His heart hammered violently as a stream of fire-attribute spirit qi burst forth from it, quickly merging into his punch.

With a loud thud, Qi Tian’s fist was enveloped in raging flames before it fiercely collided with Wu Jin Xiu’s palm slap.

Bang…

Wu Jin Xiu screamed in agony. Like being hit by a raging bull, he was knocked into the air and flung backward.

It’s not that Wu Jin Xiu was weak. With cultivation at the Mid-Phase of the Nine Levels of Qi Cultivation, he had established connections to three meridians from Qi Cultivation First Level to Qi Cultivation 7th Level, and only two in the Eighth Level and the Ninth Level of Qi Cultivation. His accomplishments could shock many cultivators from Great Zhao, even those who had fully exploited the Qi Cultivation Period to the Lianying Realm.

If it were someone else, they would have been killed by Wu Jin Xiu’s palm slap. But, unfortunately, he had met Qi Tian, a freak who at Qi Cultivating Stage 4, had already connected with fourteen meridians. This alone, coupled with his doubled strength, was equivalent to having opened up twenty-eight meridians. This was much higher than the twenty-five meridians Wu Jin Xiu had, and in addition, Qi Tian had also practiced the Eight Desolate Demon Tiger Fist up to the eighth move, which increased the strength of each punch by four hundred pounds. Doubled by the Heavenly Dao Engine, it became eight hundred pounds, which was basically equivalent to the opening up of three more meridians.

With such a massive discrepancy, how could Wu Jin Xiu fight Qi Tian? Who could stop Qi Tian’s punch from knocking him away?

Qi Tian didn’t even give Wu Jin Xiu a chance to breathe. He dashed towards him.

Just as Qi Tian was about to deliver another punch and kill the completely dazed Wu Jin Xiu, Bai YuJie who had previously intercepted Qi Tian outside the city flew over. “Qi Tian, show some mercy.” she cried.

Without turning his head, Qi Tian said: “Do not prevent me from killing. After I kill this old bastard Wu Jin Xiu, his Mount Store is yours for 1 coin. We can also split his Storage Bag.”

Upon hearing this, Bai YuJie immediately stopped trying to dissuade him from killing. On the one hand, she feared Qi Tian’s identity, and on the other, she was terrified by his power. He pushed down the cultivator of the ninth level while he was at the fourth level, which was simply inhuman. Even if she brought her subordinates, it was very possible they would not be able to save him.

Fearing that more variables would emerge if he dragged the situation out, Qi Tian hastened his steps after using the method of inducement to hold Bai YuJie back. Before Wu Jin Xiu could get up, he had reached him and punched him in the chest, instantly shattering his heart. Wu Jin Xiu vomited fresh blood on the spot, with bulging eyes, and lay flat on the ground, dead.

Qi Tian reached out and pulled off the Storage Bag from Wu Jin Xiu’s waist, then looked at Wu Jin Xiu’s corpse with some regret. If there were not so many people watching, he would have collected Wu Jin Xiu’s body to fuel the Heavenly Dao Engine. After all, this was a corpse of a cultivator at the ninth level, whose energy was absolutely sufficient. He said to Bai Yu Jie, “Take care of this crook’s corpse. Everything on them is yours.”

Overjoyed, Bai YuJie waved her hand and said to the people around her, “You deal with it.” Although Qi Tian took away Wu Jin Xiu’s Storage Bag, the Earth-grade Top Quality, Spirit-level armor was still there, which was worth a fortune. It was not impossible to sell it for millions of currency.

Qi Tian reached out, took out a ledger, and handed it to Bai YuJie, saying, “This is what I found after killing the Big Thief Shi Yufeng. It records the collusion between him and Wu Jin Xiu over the years, and their crimes of harming every passing cultivator. According to what Shi Yufeng recorded in the ledger, there should be a secret chamber in Wu Jin Xiu’s store, where a lot of treasures are hidden. You should look carefully, and you might find it.”

Upon hearing this, Bai YuJie immediately ordered people to seal off the Mount Store, forbidding anyone from approaching. Then she sent a firework signal into the sky to summon her companions for reinforcement.

Soon enough, hundreds of cultivators rushed to the scene, besieging the Mount Store and completely blocking the surrounding streets. As for Qi Tian, the cultivators who came ignored him. But Bai YuJie had been accompanying him all the time.
