The identity of Ling Miaoyi was definitely not that simple.
But where did she come from?
Qin Tian was momentarily at a loss.
He tucked the Cosmic Bag into his bosom and continued practicing the Teng Wang Fist.
At present, his strength was still far from sufficient. Due to Gong Xueyi, he had been under the scrutiny of many people. If he did not possess enough powerful abilities, the one he would disappoint the most would naturally be Gong Xueyi, who had high hopes for him.
Qin Tian did not want to be a turtle hiding behind a woman.
He had never been that way before, and he certainly would not be in the future.
...
The next day.
Starry Sky City.
Qin Tian left Sky Peak early in the morning and arrived at this city, which was not too far from the Xuan Yang Sword Sect.
Starry Sky City was a safe zone for practitioners to trade freely.
With experts from several major sects stationed nearby, it was considered one of the few safe areas for cultivators.
Only Inner Sect Disciples from various sects were qualified to enter Starry Sky City.
Starry Sky City, with its high barriers to entry, was a favored place for Inner Sect Disciples.
Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, magical artifacts, elixirs, and formation manuals were all available in abundance.
The streets were filled with cultivators, each possessing cultivation levels not weaker than the Meridian Realm Fifth Layer.
Thus, Qin Tian, at the Meridian Realm Fifth Layer, entered the city without drawing any attention.
"Do you need a guide?"
As Qin Tian stood there, bewildered by the city, a shifty-eyed boy suddenly approached him.
Qin Tian sized up the boy. His cultivation was at the Threefold Realm of Meridian Opening, and he didn’t seem like an Inner Sect Disciple from any sect.
How did someone like him manage to get in here?
"Hehe, you must be wondering why my cultivation is so weak yet I can be here," the boy said with a sly grin. "This Starry Sky City is not only a safe trading area for the surrounding Three Major Sects but is also built on the land of our Indigenous People. Therefore, we Indigenous People with lower cultivation can walk freely here."
"Mm!"
Qin Tian nodded; he seemed to recall having heard this before.
Indeed, Starry Sky City was constructed as a safe zone under the influence of powerful figures from the Three Major Sects. However, long before that, it had been inhabited by ordinary people from the mundane world for generations.
That was why these Indigenous People were allowed to reside here.
Some among them with strong talent had joined sects, while those with average talent could only work for the Inner Sect Disciples of various sects or serve as guides to earn resources for their cultivation.
"Do you need a guide? You look like it's your first time here."
The boy looked up, a sly glint in his eyes as he regarded Qin Tian.
"I do!"
It was indeed Qin Tian's first visit, and he had no idea where to go.
"Alright, five low-grade spirit stones. I'll take you to the place you want to go."
The boy licked his lips, casting a shifty glance at the hand Qin Tian reached into his pocket.
"Here."
Qin Tian pulled out five low-grade spirit stones and placed them in the boy's hand.
"Is there a large auction happening here?"
"Are you referring to the Ziyang Auction House built by the Ziyang Sect? I know where it is; I'll take you there right now!"
The boy eagerly grabbed Qin Tian's hand and led him toward the bustling marketplace.
After winding through several alleys, they indeed arrived at a vast square.
In the square, many disciples from the Three Major Sects were sitting on the ground, selling their magical artifacts or materials.
As Qin Tian walked through, he noticed that there were quite a few Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures available, but none of what he wanted seemed to be present.
His anticipation grew for the auction that was about to begin.
Walking through the square, a large purple building came into view.
A purple and gold plaque hung prominently in the center.
—Purple Sun Auction House.
"This is it, the Purple Sun Auction House. You need to pay a certain handling fee to enter and wait for the Auction House to begin! If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way."
The boy hurriedly finished speaking and turned to leave.
However, Qin Tian stood like a statue, unmoving: "Before you leave, shouldn't you return my Cosmic Bag?"
Turning back, Qin Tian's sharp gaze landed on the boy's face.
Whoosh!
The boy trembled and suddenly surged forward, darting toward another street bustling with people.
"Seeking death!"
Qin Tian snorted lightly, lifting his foot and swiftly pursuing the boy with perfect agility.
One hand shot out and suddenly landed on the boy's shoulder.
Startled, the boy executed a graceful maneuver and managed to slip out of Qin Tian's grasp.
"Good kid, hiding your true abilities. You're definitely not one of the Indigenous People. And you're certainly not at the Threefold Realm of Meridian Opening."
Qin Tian said calmly, then accelerated again, closing in on the boy once more.
“Tongbei Fist!”
The young man paused, suddenly striking in front of the crowd.
With a punch thrown, several explosive sounds echoed.
Xuan Yang Sword Sect, intermediate technique: Tongbei Fist.
“Since we are fellow disciples, return my Cosmic Bag to me, and we can consider this matter settled.”
Qin Tian had been suspicious of the shifty-eyed boy from the very beginning.
The boy's gaze was evasive, never daring to meet Qin Tian's eyes. Moreover, he had walked closely beside him several times along the way. These small actions, which might have been overlooked by others, were all noted by the observant Qin Tian.
Thus, he was the first to notice something amiss.
“Dragon Fist!”
With a slight shift of his shoulder, the boy's Tongbei Fist missed its target.
Qin Tian’s fist, infused with the power of Jiao Long Phantom Dragon, crashed into the boy's ribs.
A mouthful of blood spewed forth as the boy was sent flying several feet away.
“Return it to me, and we can consider this settled.”
Qin Tian approached the boy, towering over him, extending his hand as he coldly stated.
“Senior brother, save me!”
The young man rolled to the side a few times before his toes touched the ground, and his speed surged once again. Clearly, he had been hiding his true abilities all along.
"Bluffing!"
Qin Tian snorted lightly, his foot hitting the ground as he almost vanished in an instant, reappearing behind the young man in the next moment.
The two were now in a chase, quickly entering a deserted alley.
A dead end!
Despair washed over the young man as he turned back, his lips trembling violently. Yet, a glint of cunning in his eyes was once again caught by Qin Tian.
"You've gone to great lengths to lead me here. Aren't you going to call out your accomplices?"
Qin Tian spoke coldly, unafraid.
"Heh heh, what a bold kid, facing death and still so fearless?"
A familiar voice echoed as a figure emerged from behind Qin Tian.
As the words fell, six figures dressed in Xuan Yang Sword Sect attire flickered into view within the alley.
"It is said that Huo Yunfei prefers to operate in the shadows rather than act openly. It seems that's true!"
Without turning around, Qin Tian already knew who it was.
Who else could it be but Huo Yunfei?
"Good that you know. And don't think for a moment that this is a safe zone where I won't dare to kill you! In my eyes, Huo Yunfei, no place is a safe zone."
Huo Yunfei scoffed, looking disdainfully at the young man before him.
"If I'm not mistaken, the high-ranking members of the Xuan Yang Sword Sect stationed here must have a good relationship with your master. Others who act recklessly here are doomed to die. Yet you seem to thrive in this environment!"
Qin Tian turned around, his gaze as cold as steel, locking onto the lofty man.
"Now you realize it's too late. If you hadn't chased after a mere Cosmic Bag and had actually entered the Purple Sun Auction House, I would have had no way to deal with you. But this is the territory of our Xuan Yang Sword Sect; even if I were to kill you in broad daylight, no one would dare to speak of it."
Huo Yunfei looked down at Qin Tian with arrogance, a smirk curling at the corners of his mouth.
"Why say so much? If you want to kill me, then go ahead!"
Qin Tian lightly twisted his neck, producing a crisp cracking sound.
He had spent the entire night training and had finally perfected the Teng Wang Fist.
This was the first advanced martial art he had mastered to perfection, aside from the Soul Binding Demon Array.
He was just lamenting that he had no one to test his skills on!
"You aren't even worthy of forcing me to make a move; deal with him!"
Huo Yunfei turned and walked toward the alley's exit. At the same time, the experts he had brought all nodded in understanding. They sprang into action, flames erupting around them as seven individuals attacked Qin Tian from seven different angles.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not satisfied with such an appetizer!"
Qin Tian scoffed, raising his right hand as purple lightning crackled and surged. A long sword suddenly appeared in his grasp.
—The Purple Lightning Sword.
“Xuan Yang Sword Technique!”
As the four words fell, seven sharp beams of Sword Radiance suddenly shot out from the Purple Lightning Sword.
In an instant, the master at the Meridian Realm Fifth Layer, positioned at seven different angles, had no chance to retaliate before his body crashed violently against the wall behind him.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
After a series of seven crisp sounds, even the three surrounding walls shattered in response.
The seven Inner Sect Disciples, who usually looked down upon the Outer Sect Disciples, now lay incapacitated amidst the rubble, unable to stand.
Huo Yunfei halted in his tracks, astonished, and turned to look at Qin Tian.
The seven individuals who had come this time were all among his most capable subordinates. Yet, all seven had been defeated by Qin Tian with a single sword strike.
How is that possible?
How did Qin Tian, a master at the Meridian Realm Fifth Layer, accomplish this?
“These people rely on being your lackeys, always bullying the weak and fearing the strong, neglecting their training. How could they possibly kill me?”
Qin Tian's arduous training had never ceased; even during those nightmarish three years, he had gritted his teeth and persevered through it all.
Although these seven were also at the Meridian Realm Fifth Layer, they had let their training lapse far too much.
In comparison, it was far too easy for Qin Tian to defeat all seven with a single sword strike.
I'm afraid that even Shen Tianming, who was slain by Qin Tian, could barely manage to do these things.
"Now, you have qualified for me to take action. However, allow me to pay my respects for you, for soon you will become another corpse beneath my hand!"
Turning around, a powerful Killing Intent suddenly erupted from within him.
The dust within several feet around was violently blown away, crashing against the walls.
The atmosphere was stifling, making it difficult to breathe.
Retrieving the Purple Lightning Sword, Qin Tian gently shifted his foot back, his eyes equally filled with fighting spirit.
The battle was about to erupt!
