“Get lost, you beast! If I see you messing with my Hu Niu again, I will explode you!” Qi Tian shouted at the Red Sky Eagle, which had flown into the sky and was hovering, not daring to come down.

Since the Red Sky Eagle could fly, it didn’t have to worry about Qi Tian catching up to it and wiping it out completely. This is the benefit of being an Aerial Beast. However, it didn’t dare to descend, having been beaten by Qi Tian twice, it was now terrified of him.

Qi Tian walked to Bai YuJie’s side and thanked him with a bow, “Thank you for your help, Captain Bai.”

At this point, Bai YuJie had already treated his wounds briefly. He gave Qi Tian a look and whispered, “Qi Tian, if you trust me, ride your mount and come with me quickly.”

Qi Tian slightly nodded, unlocked the cage to let Hu Niu, who had been wronged in the cage for a long time, out, and then followed Bai YuJie out of the luxury beast storage area.

Qi Tian’s fight with Cai Wenzhi and the Red Sky Eagle had attracted a lot of attention. At this point, there was a crowd gathered outside the storage area, all pointing and whispering about Qi Tian. There were those who admired him, those who were jealous, and those who gloated over his misfortune.

“See? That’s the kid who dared to offend the Cai family’s young master. He’s screwed now. Everyone knows how powerful the Cai family is, anyone who messes with them doesn’t end well.”

“What if we beat the Cai family to it and grab him? If we capture him and hand him over to the Cai family, we will be heavily rewarded, right?”

“Are you crazy? You saw how fierce this young man is, right? Unless you think you’re more capable than the Cai family young master, you’re just courting death if you go after him. Besides, have you seen Captain Bai always by his side? Isn’t that a clear sign? This kid is not simple. Let those celestial beings fight, it’s better for ordinary people like us not to get involved, or we won’t even know how we die.”

…

Amidst the discussion of the crowd, Bai YuJie led Qi Tian towards the crowd outside.

“Move, all of you, move.” Bai YuJie had a ferocious look on his face.

Most people respect Bai YuJie, after all, he’s the captain of the Guchuan City Aerial Guard Team and holds significant power. But there were also those who weren’t scared of Bai YuJie. Some even blocked his way with ulterior motives, not letting him pass. However, they didn’t explain themselves but asked with a smile, “Captain Bai, aren’t you thinking enough of us? This young hero, who is it, eh? Won’t you introduce us?”

Bai YuJie didn’t have the patience for any false pleasantries with them and drew his Spirit Sword, his face grim. “What is it? Don’t like hearing the orders from the captain of the Aerial Guard Team? Want me to call my brothers so that you’ll clear the path?”

With anger written all over his face, people familiar with Bai YuJie knew he was really set on killing. Anyone who stood in his way had to be ready for a fight. Those cultivators with an ulterior motive hastily cleared the way after chuckling nervously.

Leading Qi Tian, Bai YuJie then stepped out of the storage area, took out a pouch from his waist and shaked it out. A white crane flew out from the pouch. The white crane affectionately rubbed Bai YuJie’s face, and Bai YuJie pat its neck, then jumped on its back. He said to Qi Tian, “Qi Tian, get on your tiger quickly and follow me. We can’t afford to waste a minute.”

Qi Tian did as told, and then followed Bai YuJie, who was leading the way on the white crane, flying away from Lianying Trade Union.

After flying for a while, Bai YuJie instructed the white crane to land. He then put the crane back into his Spirit Beast Pouch. Both Bai YuJie and Qi Tian rode on Hu Niu, and after a while of hurrying, they shook off countless pursuers in the intricate streets of Guchuan City.

Finally, they arrived at a secluded spot, and Bai YuJie signaled Qi Tian to stop Hu Niu. Bai YuJie dismounted and said to Qi Tian, “You might be wondering why I brought you away from the Lianying Trade Union. Qi Tian, I’m not afraid to tell you that I did this because the Cai family is too powerful, even the City Lord’s Mansion dare not provoke them. That you beat up Cai Wenzhi and took his stuff, they will certainly put you on their hit list, and me helping you will definitely not be an exception. I don’t know if you’re scared, but I am. I plan to escape Guchuan City immediately, as far as I can go. If I’m lucky, I may never be exposed and I can spend the rest of my life in peace. If I’m unlucky, I may be captured by members of the Cai family a few days later.”

Qi Tian didn’t expect Bai YuJie to be so scared of the Cai family. He didn’t know whether Bai YuJie’s fear was right or wrong, but that’s Bai YuJie’s choice, and he had no place to comment. Qi Tian then took out the money box he had found in Wu Jin Xiu’s secret room, put it in front of Bai YuJie, and said, “I’m sorry, Captain Bai, for causing you to escape because of me. There are probably five million coins in here, so consider it a token of my gratitude. It should keep you supplied.”

Bai YuJie never expected Qi Tian to be so generous. Though he truly planned to flee, given his status, if he asks City Lord Zhuang Yanran to mediate afterwards, there’s a real chance he may be left unscathed.

He gritted his teeth and said, “Cai’s family is not that close to Guchuan City. It should take at least two to three days for someone to deliver the news to them, and for them to send people here. You should be safe during this period. However, nothing is absolute; I’m afraid they might have sent someone to secretly follow Cai Wenzhi. If so, the time will be significantly shortened. And whether Li and the others will back Cai Wenzhi once they receive the news, trying to retaliate for him, is a big uncertainty. There are too many uncertainties. For safety reasons, I suggest you find a mask or a technique to change your appearance, alter your clothes, and get a new identity. Also, your mount, it is too conspicuous; you absolutely cannot let it show up in public anymore. Either sell it or hide it, or find a Spirit Beast Pouch that can hide a living creature and its aura. Anyway, under no circumstances can you let the Golden Flur Tiger be exposed; people will immediately associate you with it.”

Qi Tian nodded and said, “Thank you for the advice, Captain Bai.”

Bai YuJie continued, “Some members of the Cai family can be reasoned with, but most of them are brutal and unreasonable. This time, if I were to fall into their hands whilst escaping, they might torture me for information. They might even use Soul Searching Skills on me and I might not be able to resist, and I may have to confess everything. If such a situation were to occur, I kindly ask you to understand. By then, I surely won’t have any control over it. But rest assured, as long as I have a breath left, I’ll hold off till the last moment.”

Qi Tian greeted Bai YuJie with a salute and said, “Understood. If that day truly comes, I won’t blame you.”

Bai YuJie sighed, “I wanted to give you a proper tour of the Lianying Trade Union, but it seems that’s not going to happen now. We should part ways here. Oh, and if you don’t know where to get the objects I mentioned earlier that can conceal your aura, like masks or Spirit Beast Pouches, you can visit the black market. As long as you can afford the prices, you can get anything there. By any chance, do you know where the black market is?”

Qi Tian nodded, although he didn’t know the location of the black market, he had learnt about it from the Storage Bag obtained when he killed the bandits led by Shi Yufeng. Shi Yufeng and Wu Jin Xiu had colluded to rob and murder hundreds of cultivators, and a considerable part of the loot had been discarded in the black market.

“Alright, since you know, I won’t say any more. Qi Tian, let’s part here, till we meet again.” Bai YuJie saluted Qi Tian and hurriedly left. As for where he went, no one knows.

Qi Tian thought for a moment and decided to take Bai YuJie’s advice and head to the black market. He is powerful, but the risk of a head-on confrontation is high. If there’s a safer way, why not take it? Just as a great person once said, the retreat of today is for the big stride forward of tomorrow.

Qi Tian was aware that Hu Niu is too conspicuous. If he rode on Hu Niu to the black market at this time, it would render Bai YuJie’s painstaking efforts to find a secluded place in vain. He searched the several Storage Bags he had seized and found a high-grade Concealing Breath Talisman. He pasted it on Hu Niu and let Hu Niu hide in an inconspicuous corner, gave her a thousand warnings and reminders, then he altered his own appearance.

After changing his clothes, covering his face with a thick veil, and spraying some perfume on his body, Qi Tian left his hiding place and hurried to the black market.

The black market is in the slums of Guchuan City, where thousands of lower-class cultivators gather, many of whom are the black market’s informants.

The black market keeps records of people who frequently go in and out. Although Qi Tian was masked, experienced cultivators could still tell he was a stranger. As soon as Qi Tian entered the slums, someone reported his presence.

By the time Qi Tian arrived at the entrance of the black market, there were already several people waiting for him.

In the short span of time, the news of Qi Tian beating up the Cai family’s young master had spread across most of Guchuan City. The people of the black market had naturally received the news. However, they were not yet able to connect the masked man in front of them with Qi Tian. They instinctively scrutinized every customer entering and leaving the black market, particularly new customers like Qi Tian who did not have a sponsor, and received them very cautiously.
