Chapter 2172 - 2176: This Vengeance Must Be Avenged! (Fourth Update)

Qin Tian had actually guessed that Feili Xue was connected to Long Yin.

At this time, seeing Feili Xue avoid the topic, he didn't press further and went outside to keep watch for her.

It was still dark, but after Qin Tian had been there for twenty minutes, he faintly heard the rustling of footsteps several kilometers away.

In his Flying Immortal Realm, Qin Tian could sense any disturbance within several kilometers when he focused his mind.

His Divine Sense quietly expanded outward, and sure enough, about five kilometers away, he sensed many people quietly walking through the forest.

These people were quite far away, and Qin Tian could only sense their shadows, but he confirmed they were definitely relying on the mark sensing Gongsun San Niang, slowly making their way here—the people from the Dragon Slayer Department.

Qin Tian immediately headed back into Guanyin Temple.

"Is it done? The people from Dragon Slayer Department are here."

Qin Tian asked softly.

Feili Xue was pulling out the silver needles from Gongsun San Niang's body, whispering, "It's done, they shouldn't be able to find us. Let's retreat."

Feili Xue's courtyard was mostly destroyed, and to avoid attracting attention, she immediately went home.

Qin Tian and Gongsun San Niang found an inn, and the two of them stayed there.

Right now, the Gongsun Family's residence was definitely off-limits, with the Dragon Slayer Department watching it.

Gongsun San Niang was feeling very down at that moment.

Qin Tian looked at her with a face full of pity.

He knew that Gongsun San Niang had finally ascended to the position of Family Head of the Gongsun Family, but now, with the interference of the Dragon Slayer Department, it seemed it might be destroyed again.

Unless, the Gongsun Family was willing to bow to the Dragon Slayer Department and become their lapdog.

"San Niang, don't worry, the Dragon Slayer Department is only targeting you; they shouldn't start a massacre on the Gongsun Family."

Qin Tian comforted her, "If you find it difficult to stay in the Imperial City, as long as you're willing, the headquarters of the Gongsun Family can be moved to West Capital, and I'll personally back you up."

Upon hearing this, Gongsun San Niang's worried face finally relaxed a bit, and she looked at Qin Tian with sparkling eyes, saying, "Young Master, I'm sorry, I've let you down, unable to establish myself in the Imperial City…"

"It's not your fault, it's the Dragon Slayer Department's vicious methods."

Qin Tian concentrated and said, "It seems this Dragon Slayer Department is too arrogant, I need to teach them a lesson!"

Turning back, Qin Tian asked Gongsun San Niang, "Do you have a safe place left in the Imperial City?"

"Yes," Gongsun San Niang nodded, "I have several trusted aides who have bought some secluded courtyards, and I also have property myself."

"You'd better not go looking for your aides, just stay in your own courtyard quietly; it's safer that way. I need to do something, and it's better if I act alone; don't follow me, just wait for my news, and then I'll take you out of the city."

Upon hearing Qin Tian's words, Gongsun San Niang looked up at him and said, "Young Master, San Niang can also use Disguise Technique, and I can go with you to do things, I won't be a burden to you."

Qin Tian was stunned, looking at her, their eyes met.

"Alright then, hurry and disguise yourself as a man; we'll set off in a while."

Gongsun San Niang's Disguise Technique was not much inferior to Qin Tian's, and after disguising herself, she turned into an elegant scholar, looking like a stunning pretty boy.

"This disguise of yours is too eye-catching on the street. Keep it low-key," Qin Tian said, "Nowadays, there are quite a few men interested in pretty boys."

Gongsun San Niang let out a sound of acknowledgment and then changed her face to look more ordinary.

The two set off, walking on the street, and Gongsun San Niang, completely unaware of the destination or what they were going to do, asked, "Young Master, where are we going?"

"To kill someone."

Qin Tian said flatly, and Gongsun San Niang stopped speaking.

Qin Tian changed to another disguise, and they walked past the street in front of the former Gongsun Family residence, seeing the entrance already guarded by the Dragon Slayer Department.

Gongsun San Niang looked saddened, lost in thought, and Qin Tian quickly pulled her away, saying, "Don't look, it seems that after you disappeared, the Dragon Slayer Department took full control of the Gongsun Family, and might soon support a new compliant Family Head…"

Seeing Gongsun San Niang silent, Qin Tian said, "Don't be sad, I will help you rebuild the Gongsun Family, and those lapdogs of the Dragon Slayer Department, anyone willing to do it can go ahead!"

Hearing such comforting words warmed Gongsun San Niang's heart immensely, and she couldn't help but reach out to hug Qin Tian's arm, leaning her head on his shoulder, whispering, "Young Master, you are too good to San Niang, San Niang will listen to you in everything from now on…"

Qin Tian chuckled mischievously, "San Niang, don't forget, you are now a man; by holding me like this and leaning on my shoulder, can't you see that all the passersby are giving us disdainful looks…"

After Qin Tian's reminder, Gongsun San Niang looked around and indeed, everyone seemed to look at them with disdain, as male romance wasn't popular yet in the Spiritual Domain.

The two arrived outside a mansion labeled "Sima Manor."

Sitting in the nearby inn room, they could see the front gate of Sima Manor through the window.

Gongsun San Niang asked in shock, "Young Master, you said you were going to kill someone, are you going to kill… State Preceptor Sima Tianchen?!"

Qin Tian looked outside the window, not answering.

Gongsun San Niang said, "This State Preceptor Sima Tianchen doesn't have a good relationship with the Ice Emperor or Emperor Xuan, especially since Emperor Xuan ascended the throne, he has become marginalized, and there have been rumors of him being deposed. He doesn't have enmity with us, instead, we could pull him as an ally, Young Master, are you really going to kill him?"

Qin Tian calmly said, "Have you forgotten my identity? Have you forgotten how my father died?"

Hearing this, Gongsun San Niang was stunned, then remembered something, and exclaimed, "It's rumored that back then, the State Preceptor indeed betrayed Long Jun, at least, faced with the joint forces of the Ice Emperor, Martial King, and War God, he, as one of Long Jun's most trusted individuals, did nothing, even tacitly allowed Martial King to mobilize troops to attack Long Jun, which truly equates to being a murderer…"

Qin Tian didn't let Gongsun San Niang continue, saying softly, "Just wait for me in the inn and cover for me. Tonight, I'm going in for a look."

"Young Master, the State Preceptor's cultivation is immeasurable; he has been reclusive for decades, and we don't know what powers he possesses, so we can't act rashly…" Gongsun San Niang worried about Qin Tian's safety.

"I must kill Sima Tianchen now. The Martial King and Ice Emperor are dead, and neither the State Preceptor nor the War God can be spared. My father's death must be avenged!"

Qin Tian's eyes were sharp, and there was a killing aura in his words, leaving Gongsun San Niang speechless.
