Before Qi Zhiheng and his family even got close, he used his soul power to deal with any potential traps or other hazards in the vicinity.

Qi Zhiheng had everyone take Concealment Pills and apply Invisibility Talismans. After the figures of the others disappeared, they rushed out.

Qi Dong threw out several poison pills in a row, and the smoke dissipated, catching his opponent off guard!

After the smoke cleared, many of the men in blue robes present had been poisoned by the fog and had temporarily lost their ability to move.

"Activate the formation!" the Spirit Saint ordered.

However, the formation failed to activate because Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian had already caused some damage, rendering it temporarily unusable. Furthermore, many of those originally tasked with activating the formation had been knocked unconscious by the poisonous fog, making activation even more difficult.

The Qi family members disappeared again, and the group of men in blue robes couldn't find them for a while!

Qi Zhiheng and the others did not show themselves, but waited for the poisonous fog to spread through their bodies.

Just then, the spirit master whose face was obscured suddenly pushed Qin Nianzhu aside, walked over and grabbed Qi Zhenhao by the collar, saying to the air, "I know you're here! Come out."

There was a quiet in the air.

"Qi Zhiheng, I know you're here. If you don't come out, I'll cut off his hand!" The spirit master's voice seemed to have been altered, changing from one tone to another.

“If you don’t come out when I count to ten, I’ll cut off one of his hands.”

"ten……"

"Nine……"

"eight……"

...

"three……"

"two……"

Just then, Qi Zhiheng tore off the invisibility talisman on his body and appeared in the air.

“I’m right here,” Qi Zhiheng stepped forward.

Qi Zhiheng couldn't really let the other party cut off Qi Zhenhao's hand, but he still needed to buy time.

His purpose in stepping forward, besides stalling for time, was to find out what the other party was trying so hard to lure them out for.

The main purpose was certainly to get them to leave the capital, but what was the purpose of these people wanting to capture him?

"You really do have a treasure! A treasure that allows you to enter?" The blue-robed spirit master asked excitedly. "And your space can move?"

Qi Zhiheng was shocked. This person actually knew about his spatial ability? Regardless of his outward appearance, he remained calm and said, "What are you talking about? I just pasted a talisman on it."

"Impossible! You must have a treasure, otherwise how could the cultivation progress of your Qi family members have improved so quickly in such a short time!" The blue-robed spiritual master clearly did not believe his words.

Qi Zhiheng said without changing his expression, "That's because I saved a lot of resources and sent them home. My family members were already quite talented, and once they had enough resources, their cultivation levels naturally improved."

He then compared himself to others, saying, "Haven't you noticed that my cultivation level has been breaking through relatively quickly?"

"You're talking nonsense! You've already broken through to the Spirit Master level, how could you not be fast!" the blue-robed Spirit Master retorted.

Qi Zhiheng lied without batting an eye, saying, "The reason I was able to break through so quickly with so few resources is because of my own superior aptitude. How could I not be fast when interrogating a first-grade, first-rank spirit body?" He finished speaking with an air of arrogance. A first-grade, first-rank spirit body was indeed something to be proud of.

The blue-robed spirit master sneered, "You're clearly a second-class, third-grade, four-elemental spirit body! How dare you claim to have good aptitude with such a spirit body?"

Qi Zhiheng was not surprised that the other party had investigated him. He said without changing his expression, "The so-called second-grade and third-class are just public statements. The day I tested my spiritual body, I was rated as first-grade and first-class. My family was afraid that my good aptitude would easily attract trouble, so they announced that I was second-grade and third-class. But this method is not a solution. So my great-grandfather suggested that I come to the capital to take the exam for the Yuansheng Academy. As long as we have the Yuansheng Academy as a backer, there will naturally not be too many ignorant flies bothering our Qi family."

The blue-robed spiritual master looked displeased, as if the blind flies Qi Zhiheng had mentioned were referring to him!

"Don't try to deny it. Just tell me your secret, or don't blame me for cutting off your uncle's head." The blue-robed spiritual master finished speaking and placed his long sword against Qi Zhenhao's neck.

Qi Zhiheng took out a talisman and a bottle of pills, saying, "What I said about living together is true. The pills and talisman in my hand are the Concealment Pill and the Invisibility Talisman. You can have someone test whether what I said is true." A look of anxiety appeared on his face, as if a child was defending himself!

"Don't lay a hand on my uncle! Quickly get someone to inspect it!" Qi Zhiheng seemed very anxious, urging these people to inspect his belongings as soon as possible.

The only spiritual saint present instructed one of the people beside him, "Go and try it."

A man in blue robes stepped forward and carefully took the medicine bottle and talisman from Qi Zhiheng's hands.

He first took a Concealing Breath Pill, and then his aura gradually disappeared.

He then activated the talisman and affixed it to his body. He then vanished into thin air.

The blue-robed spiritual master denied it, saying, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" It was utterly impossible for him to believe that his meticulously planned scheme was a misunderstanding! Moreover, many members of their sect had died in this operation. Returning empty-handed would be utterly unacceptable.

"You must be lying!" The blue-robed spiritual master glared fiercely at Qi Zhiheng.

Qi Zhiheng said, "If it's the treasure you want, I have it on me, and I will definitely use it to save my uncle. Those who have investigated the Qi family know how united we are, and I would never joke about my uncle's life."

The Spirit Saint present then spoke calmly: "Are you saying that we set up such a grand scheme, only to get a misunderstanding in return?"

Qi Zhiheng helplessly spread his hands: "I can't help this regrettable misunderstanding. Life is always full of helplessness. Just like when I did nothing wrong, my uncle was still being controlled by you and used to threaten me."

The Spirit Saint sneered: "Since you are all useless, then kill you all. Our fallen comrades need to be sacrificed with blood."

As soon as the sage finished speaking, another cloud of poisonous mist spread out around them!

"Damn it! There are other enemies lurking!" Before they could even prepare a defense, their bodies went limp and they collapsed to the ground.

A shadow swiftly snatched Qi Zhenhao from the blue-robed spiritual cultivator's hand and pushed him away.

Qin Nianzhu also felt weak all over and collapsed to the ground.

The spiritual cultivator in green robes was enraged when he saw his bargaining chip taken away.

He turned his head and saw Qin Nianzhu standing to the side. He was in better condition than Qin Nianzhu, and while he still had some strength, he wanted to kill Qin Nianzhu.

Once Qin Nianzhu is killed, Qi Zhenhao will have no chance of surviving!

With this thought in mind, his eyes became even more ruthless.

Although Qin Nianzhu had collapsed, he was still conscious. Upon seeing the fierce-looking spiritual cultivator in blue, he hurriedly cried out, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I am your Nianzhu, you can't kill me! Help, help me!"

She screamed in despair as the green-robed spiritual cultivator climbed onto the body of the seven-year-old. He held a dagger in his hand, about to slash Qin Nianzhu's neck, when a wave of ice quickly engulfed the two of them. They were frozen into a block of ice in an overlapping position and dragged away by an invisible force!

This person was none other than Yang Yitian, who had been hiding!

"Alright, alright! Qin Nianzhu is ours too!" Yang Yitian's voice rang out, and soon, those who were supporting the people who hadn't fallen were also killed.

Qi Zhiheng and Qi Zhenhe joined forces to fight against that Spirit Saint!

The Spirit Saint was also affected by the poison pill, but its effects were not significant for someone of his cultivation level. However, even a minor effect still had its purpose!

So, under the combined attack of Qi Zhenhe and Qi Zhiheng, the opponent was finally killed.

Qi Zhenhe spared no one left among the remaining entertainers; there were over five hundred people in total. He killed all those who were incapacitated.

Qi Zhiheng closed his eyes. The bloody scene still had some impact on him. The karmic obstacle in his body was stirring. He quickly used a light attribute cultivation talisman. Fortunately, Yang Yitian had drawn many light attribute cultivation talismans in the secret realm before, which relieved his condition.

Qi Zhenhe asked with concern, "Zhiheng, are you alright?"

Qi Zhiheng opened his eyes and shook his head, saying, "I'm fine. Collect these corpses. I want to see who dares to challenge the authority of the Source Academy!"

Qi Zhenhao collected the body, and Qi Dong appeared, picked up Qi Zhenhao, and said, "Grandson, come and see your uncle. Is there any way to save him?"

Qi Zhiheng said, "I've already prepared. Put your uncle on the ground and I'll treat him."

Qi Dong, following Qi Zhiheng's instructions, put Qi Zhenhao on the ground.

Qi Zhiheng first took out a bowl, put a pill in it, and added spiritual spring water.

The pill dissolved in the water, and Qi Zhiheng took out another pill and stuffed it into Qi Zhenhao's mouth before slashing his wrist.

Place it on the edge of the bowl.

Qi Zhenhao's blood flowed out, and Qi Dong clicked his tongue twice: "Your little uncle's blood has been drained dry, hasn't it?"

Qi Zhiheng rolled his eyes at his unreliable grandfather: "Grandpa, you're overthinking it."

After a while, it seemed as if something was emerging from his wound.

It was a slender worm that crawled out along the blood and entered the bowl of the blooming elixir.

Qi Zhiheng let out a breath: "Alright, the Gu worm has come out." After saying that, he gave Qi Zhenhao another elixir.

Qi Zhenhao's wound healed quickly.

Qi Zhiheng said, "We shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's go back to the capital first."

Yang Yitian returned just then, dragging a huge block of ice: "Look here, buy one get one free!"
