Seeing the gate open, Bi Gan’s heart pounded impatiently.
This Golden Core cultivator looked at her and immediately was on alert. He said: “Wait a moment, Lord Huang Feihu. The southern gate is aware of the Bi Gan matter. I will send for people to speak with General Feilian to have her help you.”
“There can be no mistakes in the search for Bi Gan. Hurry and take care of this.” Qi Lin nodded and calmly turned to leave.
Bi Gan was soft of heart, after all, and there was no cruelty or ruthlessness to be found in her bones. The Golden Core cultivator then sensed that something was wrong. Huang Feihu had quite the infamy in Zhaoge, and he felt no malice from Bi Gan’s disguise. He promptly stopped them: “Then, please wait, my lord!!”
Saying this, he sent a subordinate to make the report.
“You actually dare obstruct me. It seems I must make you realize the might of General Huang Feihu’s Weight Of Mount Tai!!” Qi Lin sneered and once again used it.
A power as majestic as a mountain descended.
“Then Your Servant will offend you.” The Golden Core cultivator apparently already had defenses ready. His expression hardened as he thought to himself, Even if you are a Divine Name, your Emissary is merely a fox who dares to bully others using a tiger’s might. For him, killing a Qi Refinement cultivator was as easy as pinching an ant to death. Furthermore, the woman’s behavior was suspicious. As he was acting in good faith, the Golden Core cultivator was not afraid even if he did offend Huang Feihu. Thinking of this, the Golden Core cultivator wanted to give Qi Lin a bit of suffering; what threat did his Golden Core Bagua Realm have to fear from a Qi Refinement Realm.
As the Golden Core cultivator spoke, he activated a magic treasures. That magic treasure was like a textile shuttle. It expanded in size and became a shuttle-shaped light that surrounded him, filling the sky with its radiance. In an instant, he had vanished.
Whoosh!
Qi Lin knew this Golden Core cultivator was powerful from his actions and the activation of the shuttle-shaped magic treasure. Golden Core cultivators condensed their qi into a core, producing limitless magical energy. They cultivated the Bagua, with each trigram thereof representing eight worldly phenomenon as well as boasting boundless power. Evidently, this one had practiced “Xun” and “Dui” to perfection. Having reached Golden Core Early Stage, he used his magic treasure, his magical energy like an enormous lake.
As he took action, the skies were filled with shuttle-shadows. It was unclear which was the real one.
The Golden Core cultivator inwardly sneered. This was the “Escaping Heaven Shuttle” magic treasure that he was most proud of. Having undergone a century of magical energy refinement, it allowed for attacks during advances and defenses during retreats. It was even capable of a miraculous escape technique. Even if he was to encounter a Fourth Trigram Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator, he would not be helpless.
Using this magic treasure, he had received countless fortunate encounters to reach his current cultivation.
This move was to trap Qi Lin for the time being until General Felian arrived. The boy had just used a Destined Skill, leaving the Golden Core cultivator still a bit frightened. Firstly, if the woman actually was Huang Feihu, he would be in deep trouble. Secondly, this young man was apparently a bit unfathomable, so much so that even he was unable to see the boy’s cultivation. The young man seemed to be Qi Refinement Realm, but he seemed even more mysterious than higher level cultivators that the Golden Core cultivator had previously encountered.
How could QI Lin not realize his plan to trap him and stall until Feilian arrived. If a Divine Name like Feilian arrived, there would truly be no escape.
However, this Golden Core cultivator’s magic treasure was indeed too powerful. Any other Qi Refinement cultivator would have been in the palm of his hand long ago.
Pity that Qi Lin was not any ordinary Qi Refinement cultivator. He was but the Invested Deity Emissary of the Great Sage Equal Of Heaven. Measurements of cultivation were completely unable to assess his power. Qi Lin pondered to himself, and he raised his hands to manifest the Cloud-piercing Arrow and the Heaven-shaking Bow. Nocking the arrow on the string, he did not hesitate to loose it. Intent and weapon were one, and all of a sudden, it shot towards the multitude of shuttle-shadows.
The Cloud-piercing Arrow punched through space straight into the old man.
“Dark Heaven magic treasure?” The Golden Core cultivator was astonished. He used his powers, forming a circle of True Qi. Two of the Bagua seals appeared around him, and a powerful surge of magical energy flowed out. The Xun and Dui Trigrams blockaded the sky, surprisingly stopping the Cloud-piercing Arrow.
The difference in Realm between them was too vast, with the Golden Core cultivator’s magical energy several levels higher than his own. Even if Qi Lin’s True Qi had Three Yins Three Yangs, to evenly match was very difficult. The power of a magic treasure was dependent on its user’s magical energy. Otherwise, even the Earlier Heaven magic treasure Vajra Bracelet would be unable to save him.
Seeing the Dark Heaven magic treasure, covetous greed arose in the Golden Core cultivator’s heart, “Shameless criminal, you actually dare impersonate General Huang Feihu’s name. Watch This Old Man make mincemeat out of you.” Though he spoke with awe-inspiring righteousness, his thoughts were filled with the will to plunder. He chanted and pointed a finger.
The shuttle-shadows surrounding Qi Lin and Bi Gan immediately gathered into one, slashing at Qi Lin like an enormous sword.
What a powerful magic treasure.
Qi Lin inwardly sneered. Even if he courted death, he would not be modest. He formed the Cloud-piercing Arrow again, and the Heaven-shaking Bow loosed it. The sound of its bowstring shook all of Zhaoge. This sound absolutely would draw Feilian and the others over, so Qi Lin needed to strike a single fatal blow.
“Ridiculous.” The Golden Core cultivator saw Qi Lin use the same skill again. Filled with disdain, he thought that perhaps Qi Lin’s power could not break his Escaping Heaven Shuttle.
Weight Of Mount Tai!!
The majestic mountain’s power abruptly launched.
Qi Lin sneered, and he fired a Cloud-piercing Arrow.
In an instant, a long rainbow-like golden light extended through empty space. It soared, seemingly piercing through the limits of space, to the ends of the universe.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang…
Under the vast and pervasive arrow-qi, the divine shuttle-sword in space seemed to stagnate, stopped by the six arrows. The rainbow-like sword-light exploded again and again, fragmenting into specters that subsequently vanished into space.
In an instant, the Escaping Heaven Shuttle’s shadows were surprisingly unable to stop this.
“Huh!! What is this?!!!” The Golden Core cultivator did not dare believe this.
Jian Destroys Six Kingdoms!!
The Heaven-shaking Bow shook apart the Golden Core cultivator’s Bagua seals, and the Cloud-piercing Arrow split into six arrows that pierced through the Escaping Heaven Shuttle and into the Golden Core cultivator himself. In his astonishment, the old man was completely defenseless and was shot dead. That Escaping Heaven Shuttle was then taken by Qi Lin and stored in his bag. Then, he seized his chance to grab Bi Gan’s hand and used the Heavenly Vertical Earthly Horizontal Escape before anyone could come back to their senses.
“Let’s go!!”
In an instant, they were already outside the southern gate.
“This is bad, Lord Huang Feihu killed Daoist Hongzhong and fled with Bi Gan.”
The guards shouted, already panic-stricken. They were incapable of believing that a Golden Core cultivator was actually killed so quickly by a Qi Refinement cultivator. The only explanation was that perhaps this was a Divine Name.
“Where are you going!!”
Qi Lin was ten li out when a chilling wind gusted from behind him all of a sudden. A voice shouted like thunder, rumbling through the dark skies.
He glanced back and was surprised to see Feilian.
This woman’s speed was extremely sift, much faster than his Heavenly Vertical Earthly Horizontal Escape.
“Shang Xuan.” Bi Gan was alarmed.1
Qi Lin’s repeated use of a Destined Skill and the Dark Heaven magic treasure already left him unable to continue battle. Even in peak condition, he perhaps was no match for Feilian. Qi Lin grit his teeth and used the escape technique with all his might.
But Feilian’s Star Name was mighty, one of ancient China’s Fourteen Major Stars as well as one of the Ten Great Demons and Gods. In purple star astrology, she was an ominous star, one of solitude and persecution. At minimum, this star sowed discord, disrupted families, caused misunderstandings, and turned good to evil. In the Self Palace, it represented loss and waste, loneliness and hardship, incurring suffering for a lifetime and reduced gains for greater effort.
Even before reaching a genuine Divine Name level, she was still so fast. A Qi Refinement cultivator’s escape technique could not outpace her.
The woman’s scorching breath seemed to be right beside his ear.
Feilian drew close to the pair. She shrugged her shoulders, and the white bone axe on her back suddenly flew forth. This axe surged with a baleful aura, transforming into the shape of a skeletal hand. This hand was the size of a massive wheel, and it could hold a person like they were actually an ant.
This grab would pinch even immortals and buddhas to death.
Just as Qi Lin and Bi Gan were unable to escape, all of a sudden, a sword-light flew in from beyond Heaven. That sword-light was as radiant as the stars and moon, instantly clashing with the skeletal hand.
Then, a person appeared in between Qi Lin and Bi Gan.
That figure was none other than Senior Sister Su Qin Su Su.
Senior Sister’s eyes were very serious, her previous vivacious bearing nowhere to be seen at all. She fully showed a powerful woman’s domineering aura.
“Go!”
Su Qin reached out and grabbed the pair’s shoulders and raised them towards empty space.
By the time Feilian broke the sword-light, the group was already long gone.
“Dammit!!”
The bone hand landed on Feilian’s back and reverted back to an intimidating axe like an infant sleeping peacefully on her back. The woman’s eyes turned even more ice-cold.

- You dummy, don’t say his name. ↩
Yeah. I hope Qi Lin gets away….
But, more importantly, WHERE THE HELL IS THE MAIN HEROINE!? WHERE THE HELL IS QI QI!?
Well, the white ape seems intent on letting Qi Lin’s time in Zhaoge be a growth opportunity. Presumably, she’s still trying to forge her weapon or find materials for it.
