Chapter 2328 - 2331: Qin Tian's Farewell

The Ninth Young Master's death caused a massive sensation at the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, an enormous sensation.

The Sect Leader, who was originally away, rushed back from thousands of miles away, in a fit of rage, and ordered a thorough investigation.

After all, such a significant event occurred on the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect's territory that even the Sect Leader's son could be assassinated. If the culprit was not found, it would be an utter disgrace!

For half a month, the Sect Leader of the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect assigned several Elders and Inner Sect Disciples to search for clues in the surrounding area. Unfortunately, no trace was found.

Even investigating from the Ninth Young Master's injury marks yielded no useful clues.

Qin Tian couldn't help but admire Xuanyuan Shenyue and Wang Tianqing. Everything, absolutely everything, had been calculated impeccably by them. Even the methods used to kill the Ninth Young Master and his servant were not the distinctive techniques of the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect.

Thus, the Ninth Young Master met his end.

The Sect Leader, in his high position, secretly summoned the Eldest Young Master, Fourth Young Master, and Seventh Young Master to his study for several days of discussions.

Of course, Qin Tian wasn't concerned about these matters; he was now contemplating his own future actions.

Since Xuanyuan Shenyue had already killed the Ninth Young Master, and he had majorly assisted, it was time for him to leave the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect.

In this place filled with intrigue and treachery, Qin Tian felt there was no point in staying any longer.

He had three tasks yet to accomplish: first, to kill Jin Lin; second, to visit the Taiching Immortal Sect to deliver a message from Immortal Jiu. It's been years... Although the passage of time is not strongly felt in the Immortal Domain, with years and decades passing in the blink of an eye, Qin Tian, having been entrusted with the task, felt it was already a bit late to deliver the message, potentially disappointing Immortal Jiu.

...

"Hehe, Qin Tian, you've come, please sit."

After the Ninth Young Master incident, Xuanyuan Shenyue had not sought Qin Tian, nor given any explanations, leaving Qin Tian somewhat disappointed. So, he proactively went to Xuanyuan Shenyue's Blessed Land, deciding not to care any longer.

Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Shenyue warmly welcomed him.

"Mr. Shenyue, so many things have happened, don't you have any explanations for me?" Qin Tian asked directly.

"Yes, many... But recently, I've been overwhelmed with work... Alas, please forgive me, Qin Tian."

Xuanyuan Shenyue looked in good spirits, joy accompanying auspicious events.

"Regarding how the Ninth Young Master died, Elder Wang told me you're already aware. Initially, I planned to come and explain to you, but these are troublesome times, and since the Ninth's death, my father has been summoning me for various discussions. I now have to fill the position and roles the Ninth held within the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect. Recently, I've been busy handling various affairs, thus haven't had the time to talk to you yet."

Xuanyuan Shenyue personally served Qin Tian tea, saying, "Qin Tian, you've been a tremendous help to me, for which I'm very grateful."

Qin Tian replied, "Is that all? Do you have nothing to say about deceiving me?"

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Shenyue's face stiffened. He said, "I had to consider the bigger picture. As I told you before, I'll tell you everything I can, but certain things need to remain confidential for now. Imagine, if you knew your master's true identity, some subsequent things might not proceed smoothly..."

"Indeed, you've thought it thoroughly."

Qin Tian continued, "Mr. Shenyue, I've assisted you, and you helped me in the past. Now, consider us even."

"What's this? Qin Tian, why would you say such a thing?"

Hearing Qin Tian's tone, Xuanyuan Shenyue was stunned and asked, "Why say such things? We both come from the Spiritual Domain, and my disciple is your younger brother, what are you planning to do?"

Qin Tian froze, thinking, do you still remember that your disciple is my younger brother?

Arriving at the Immortal Domain, Qin Tian felt Xuanyuan Shenyue had completely changed, from being strategic to plotting incessantly.

The line between positive and negative is thin.

"Do you have any misunderstandings about me?"

Seeing Qin Tian silent, Xuanyuan Shenyue was a bit surprised, explaining, "Qin Tian, let's put it this way, I can swear that although I seemed distant to you, I've been watching over you, secretly protecting you... For instance, that time you went drinking with Xu San in Xuanyuan City, it was I who arranged for someone to assist you. And I've also been involved with the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect's arrangements concerning you... I swear, I never intended to use you."

"Cough cough... I've been helping you indeed, but I absolutely didn't just leave you to your fate, caring solely for myself. You must trust me."

Seeing Qin Tian still silent, Xuanyuan Shenyue said, "Qin Tian, if you don't trust me, you should trust your master, right? What kind of person is your master? If I were unreliable, he wouldn't have remained patient for so many years, ultimately helping me turn the tables, would he?"

Xuanyuan Shenyue had a valid point. His revenge was justified, and indeed, Qin Tian was never placed in danger.

Yet, Qin Tian felt uneasy within.

"I understand, Mr. Shenyue, but I believe my first chapter in the Immortal Domain is over. I wish to leave the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect."

Shua!

As soon as Qin Tian said this, Xuanyuan Shenyue's expression changed instantly!

"Leave?"

He lowered his voice slightly, surprised, "Qin Tian, you're now an Inner Sect Disciple of Xuanyuan Immortal Sect. Saying you want to leave at this point, how do you intend to leave? The Sect isn't a place you can just come and go... If the Sect finds out, they will punish you. Qin Tian, you can't do this; if you leave like this, the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect members will hunt you down wherever you go. I may not even be able to protect you..."

"What's wrong, are you discontent with me? If you have complaints, just tell me, I'll change. Can I apologize to you?"

Xuanyuan Shenyue appeared sincere, saying, "Please don't leave, alright? I still need your help in the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect... Qin Tian, if you're upset with me for neglecting you, I won't complain, and I'm sincerely apologizing to you now."

As he spoke, Xuanyuan Shenyue even bowed to Qin Tian.

"No need, Mr. Shenyue, this matter is trivial."

Qin Tian spoke, "You know why I came to the Immortal Domain. Now, I've cultivated to the level of Two-star Daluo Golden Immortal. In terms of strength and combat power, I think I've got the foundation to venture out. I want to find my mother. I've been here for nearly three years now, and at least, I need to find her first, or I won't be at ease."

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Shenyue took a deep breath and nodded, "Alright, since you're determined, I won't stop you."

He finished speaking and patted Qin Tian on the shoulder, saying, "Alright then, leave in a few days. Tomorrow, Elder Wang and I will see you off."
