Upon hearing Du Qiuniang’s reminder, Qin Tian focused his senses, carefully perceiving the surroundings, and sure enough, he detected a slight unusual commotion about a mile away, accompanied by a hint of hidden killing intent!

”At this moment, who still wants to kill me?”

Qin Tian was somewhat stunned, thinking to himself, is it someone from Emperor Zhao Tuo’s family? Or the people from East Capital Southern City?

He was puzzled, and beside him, Du Qiuniang whispered, ”Young master, several dozen people are coming, and they are quite skilled. We must not take it lightly.”

Qin Tian nodded, called Zhou Yang over, and issued some instructions in a low voice.

Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment, but still replied, ”Alright, I’ll get everyone ready.”

Boom!

Boom boom!

As soon as Zhou Yang’s words had fallen, those lying in ambush already appeared and attacked!

Over a hundred assassins dressed in black appeared silently, using True Qi Shock Waves, abruptly rushing forward!

The skills of these people were vastly different compared to the small fries Qin Tian encountered in Yun City earlier; each of them was close to or above the Nascent Soul Stage!

These people divided into two groups, one group surrounding Qin Tian’s carriage, the other attacking Qin Tian’s Personal Guard!

In an instant, due to the surprise attack, a dozen of Qin’s five hundred guards collapsed directly!

Moreover, as these people attacked, a purple gas began to spread gradually across the sky!

As if controlled by someone, it directly enveloped Qin Tian and his Personal Guard!

”It’s poisonous! Poisonous gas!”

Qin Tian reacted immediately, and quickly shouted to Lin Yu and Zhou Yang, ”You must quickly tell everyone to retreat, leave this valley immediately! Otherwise, we will all be poisoned to death!”

”Alright!”

Lin Yu and Zhou Yang immediately organized everyone to fight while retreating; with five hundred Personal Guards, without sky poison gas to disrupt them, they could easily resist the attackers.

But with the mysterious purple poison gas, even Qin Tian began to panic!

”Qiuniang, watch over Zhou Yang and the others, protect them. Their cultivations have yet to reach the Nascent Soul Stage; they cannot match any assassin, ensure their safety.”

Qin Tian ordered Du Qiuniang.

”Rest assured, young master.”

Du Qiuniang nodded and leaped out!

Qin Tian’s True Qi Shield spread out, he flew out of the carriage, facing the incoming assassins, and unleashed his Fiery Flame Divine Skill!

Boom boom boom!

The speed of the assassins’ reactions was extremely fast; however, their strength was ultimately several tiers lower than Qin Tian’s, and they were still blasted away by the Fiery Flame True Qi Shock Wave.

However, Qin Tian’s subordinates were not so fortunate; as Qin Tian looked back, at least a hundred out of his five hundred Personal Guards were either dead or wounded!

”Head to the mountains! Don’t stay in the valley!”

Qin Tian shouted, leaping behind his guards, roaring furiously, then with a swipe of his palms, a True Qi Barrier suddenly appeared, completely blocking the descending purple gas from the sky!

Sizzle sizzle!

Nonetheless, in a mere instant, the purple gas could penetrate Qin Tian’s True Qi Barrier and continue to descend!

”What on earth is this?”

Qin Tian froze, shouting, ”Everyone, move faster!”

At this time, Qin Tian’s guards were disinterested in fighting, focused solely on evading the purple gas, once anyone got tangled by the gas, they could only moan twice before dying instantly!

Qin Tian raised his eyes and saw dozens of guards at the rear being poisoned to death!

His eyes widened fiercely, and without hesitation, Dragon Qi roared out!

Roar roar!

In the sky, a golden dragon condensed into form! Facing the purple poison gas, it spun out wave after wave of True Qi Shock Waves!

The powerful shock waves from the Dragon Qi managed to disperse the purple poison gas!

Despite that, once dispersed, the purple gas gathered again, continuing to spread towards Qin Tian and his guards!

”Someone must be controlling this!”

In anger, Qin Tian leaped into the air, soared over twenty meters high, looking down, and indeed saw behind the valley, two figures in black robes casting spells to command the purple poison gas!

”Qiuniang, let’s quickly finish this, over there!”

Qin Tian descended directly, through True Qi Transmission, giving Du Qiuniang a hand gesture!

Du Qiuniang in the distance nodded, and the two almost simultaneously flashed towards the valley!

Those black-clad assassins seemed aware of Qin Tian’s and Du Qiuniang’s intentions, immediately someone came to hold them back.

Boom boom boom!

Qin Tian used the True Qi Dragon, directly blocking the incoming attackers!

Meanwhile, Du Qiuniang swiftly arrived in front of one of the black-robed figures, who only possessed spells but lacked high cultivation, within three moves, she directly killed him.

Qin Tian and Du Qiuniang then closed in on the other person together!

The other black-robed figure intended to flee all along, but under the direct encirclement of their True Qi, he couldn’t escape, Du Qiuniang swiftly finished him off with a single blow.

After these two black-robed figures were killed, the purple poison gas enveloping the sky gradually dissipated!

”Kill!”

Zhou Yang seized the opportunity, seeing the purple gas disperse, he led the guards at the front to counterattack the black-clad assassins!

Faced with the layered offensive of Qin Tian’s two hundred plus guards, the dozens of black-clad assassins realized it was an unfavorable situation, so they attempted to retreat.

”Catch them, leave a few alive!”

Seeing the retreating figures, Zhou Yang quickly shouted.

The guards swarmed up, capturing three, killing all the others.

”Who are you? Who sent you?”

After catching the three, Qin Tian, Zhou Yang, and Xiao Zhuang split up to interrogate them, harshly demanding answers.

The black-clad assassins kept their heads down, unwilling to speak even at the cost of their lives.

Qin Tian grabbed the neck of one, and furiously said, ”If you remain silent, you will end up dead!”

With that, he pressed True Qi upon them!

”It’s...it’s...the Ninth Prince.”

The assassin seemed intimidated by Qin Tian’s True Qi pressure, coupled with Qin Tian’s forceful grip, he couldn’t endure and stammered out.

”Why does he want to kill me?” Qin Tian was stunned, thinking, I haven’t even entered the Imperial City, and the Ninth Prince already wants to attack me?

”Don’t know...after General Zhao Tuo died...we were ordered to kill you...” the assassin replied.

”Hmph, so that’s the case! Execute!” Qin Tian muttered.

He walked over to meet Zhou Yang and Xiao Zhuang, who had finished interrogating as well.

”How did it go, any results?” Qin Tian asked.

”The Ninth Prince.”

Zhou Yang and Xiao Zhuang practically spoke in unison.

”Heh, the Ninth Prince...”

Qin Tian looked up at the sky, chuckling coldly, ”Such urgency, does he seek revenge for Zhao Tuo? Or does he wish to eliminate me?”

Zhou Yang seriously remarked, ”Boss, it seems when we reach the Imperial City...our days might not be easy. The Ninth Prince, he is one of the most favored figures by the Ice Emperor in the current Imperial City! He has power and influence!”
