”What exactly is the power within this Spiritual Treasure Pearl? I feel like I can now freely control and conceal my True Qi and aura...”

Qin Tian was deeply shocked, because he knew very well at this moment that if he could freely hide his aura and True Qi, it meant that he could conceal his strength when facing opponents, making it impossible for them to discern his cultivation.

Unless, of course, the opponent’s level was significantly higher than his.

”Haha, coming to the bottom of Tiger Roar Lake this time truly has been fruitful.”

After confirming the effects of the Spiritual Treasure Pearl on himself, Qin Tian smiled to himself. This trip to West State was definitely worthwhile.

”Brother Tian, what level is your strength at in the Great Immortal Realm? I feel like your strength is incredibly strong, but I also feel like your cultivation isn’t much different from mine, it’s so strange...”

As they followed the light source to find a way out, Liu Fei’er curiously asked Qin Tian.

”Early Stage of the Great Immortal Realm.”

Qin Tian didn’t conceal anything from Liu Fei’er and said, ”As for actual combat power, it’s difficult for me to assess that. But I can tell you, this is just the beginning of my continuous improvement. I have a premonition that in the future, I should... I should advance at a speed that others will find incredible.”

As Qin Tian and Liu Fei’er chatted in front, Fei Hong walked behind, listening to their conversation. Thinking about Qin Tian’s previously revealed dominant strength, she was utterly convinced by Qin Tian and no longer harbored doubts or disdain toward him as she did before, similar to Xiao Qing.

The faint light was easy to find in the dim world. In less than half an hour, the three of them emerged from the bottom of Tiger Roar Lake.

As soon as they came out, the sight that met their eyes startled them.

By the shore of Tiger Roar Lake, stood over a hundred people!

”Brother Tian, these people are the elite soldiers of the Demon Clan. It’s okay; they’re likely here to enforce a blockade, preventing anyone from approaching this area. Since we arrived early and went to the bottom of the lake, they probably don’t know.”

Liu Fei’er saw Qin Tian entering battle mode and quickly said.

At that moment, Qin Tian had already put away the Red Sword and disguised himself, so he wasn’t nervous. He simply said to Liu Fei’er and Fei Hong, ”In the Demon Clan, my identity and name are extremely sensitive, so you should refrain from calling me by my real name.”

”What should we call you then?” Fei Hong asked.

Qin Tian thought for a moment and said, ”I’ve come up with a pseudonym for myself. You might as well call me Lin Feng.”

”Lin Feng... Alright, Young Master Lin.”

Fei Hong responded immediately.

Liu Fei’er smiled faintly and said, ”Then, to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings in front of others, I’ll also call you Young Master Lin. Later, you can just say you’re my friend.”

After Liu Fei’er finished speaking, a large group of Demon Clan soldiers approached them.

These soldiers noticed Liu Fei’er with her face covered in a white veil and sensed the Demon Clan aura emanating from Liu Fei’er and Fei Hong. They speculated about Liu Fei’er’s identity but dared not confirm it.

”How bold! This is Princess Fei’er, yet you haven’t saluted!”

Seeing them approach, Fei Hong directly reprimanded them.

The surprised elite Demon Clan soldiers observed for a moment and then, without hesitation, knelt down on one knee, respectfully saying, ”Greetings, Princess!”

”Rise.” Liu Fei’er’s voice regained its chilliness. ”What are you doing here?”

”Princess, following the command of the Crown Prince, we are enforcing a blockade on Tiger Roar Lake, preventing anyone from approaching. Princess, why did you emerge from the bottom of the lake...”

The leader didn’t finish his words before Fei Hong immediately reprimanded him, ”How dare you question the Princess?”

”We wouldn’t dare.”

”It’s good that you wouldn’t. Princess, let’s leave.”

The three of them walked between several hundred Demon Clan soldiers enforcing the blockade, yet none of the soldiers questioned Qin Tian.

”Brother Tian, where are you heading next? I originally wanted to take you to the Imperial Palace, but thinking about it, it’s too dangerous there. You still shouldn’t go...”

After they came out, Liu Fei’er removed her veil and looked at Qin Tian, saying, ”I also want to accompany you, but given the current situation, I can’t... After all, my father and brother are still here, and the domestic situation of the Demon Clan is complex. My father and brother already have plenty of worries, and I don’t want to add to them...”

Qin Tian had some understanding of the Demon Clan’s domestic affairs but not in-depth. He only knew that there were several major factions within the Demon Clan dissatisfied with the rule of the Demon King and the Crown Prince.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Tian seriously said to Liu Fei’er, ”Fei’er, you should return to the Demon Clan. You can tell your father and brother that you know me, and I wish to cooperate with them, not go to war.”

”Military King is our traitor; we must deal with him. As long as the Demon Clan doesn’t interfere in this matter, I can strive for a long-lasting good relationship with the Demon Clan on behalf of the Ice Emperor.”

After Qin Tian finished speaking, Fei’er didn’t say anything, but Fei Hong shook her head, ”Young Master Qin, although the Tianyuan Dynasty has claimed many times to want peace with the Demon Clan, they have always reneged on their promises. Currently, our majesty won’t trust your side’s words.”

”I can guarantee that such things won’t happen again in the future.”

Qin Tian’s tone was firm as he stared at Liu Fei’er and Fei Hong, ”Once the West State war ends, I believe I will rise rapidly in the Tianyuan Dynasty, and my words will have an influence in the court.”

”Rise rapidly...” Liu Fei’er muttered these words and said, ”But I’ve heard that the Ice Emperor is known for burning bridges. I’ve heard that the Military King’s rebellion was orchestrated by the Ice Emperor himself. Brother Tian, you must be careful not to be schemed against by the Ice Emperor...”

”Hmm, it’s a lesson from the past, I know. Fei’er, rest assured, this time I have military power in hand, my strength is soaring, and if I defeat the Military King, I certainly won’t hand over the military power obediently.”

Qin Tian confidently said to Liu Fei’er.

Liu Fei’er nodded without hesitation, ”Brother Tian, I’m only worried about your safety. I believe you can do it. Alright, I will relay all your words to my father and brother. I hope you can coexist peacefully—not hope, you must.”

At the border between West State and the Demon Clan, Qin Tian and Liu Fei’er parted ways.

They agreed to have Fei Hong as their envoy for communication, liaising about matters related to cooperation between both sides.

Of course, Qin Tian would also make two preparations upon returning: one for peace talks and the other for war.

Given the complex relationships within the Demon Clan, it’s likely some factions are allied with the Military King, so if Qin Tian truly wants to ally the Demon Clan, combat is inevitable.

Upon returning to Yueya City, Qin Tian immediately began making preparations for battle.

Meanwhile, he ordered Lin Yu to secretly transport the Eight True Qi Cannons, which they had hidden when they were transferred to the Imperial City years ago, to West State.

This time, Qin Tian was ready to do something significant in West State.
