Chapter 1699: Chapter 1731: News of the Ancient Battlefield
“Qin Tian invited me?”
Li Xiaobai became alert. He had just entered the city’s gate, and Qin Tian had already discovered him. Could it be that the other party is closely monitoring his movements?
The guards appeared very respectful, leaving him baffled. After all, he was the one behind Qin Yu’s death and had impersonated three core disciples of the Qin Family within a day. It seemed unbelievable that Qin Tian would treat him with such courtesy.
A few minutes later.
The Qin Family residence, in the courtyard.
Li Xiaobai followed the servants to the main hall. This was his second visit to the palace, feeling inexplicably excited.
The hall was filled with the Qin Family’s elders and disciples, all puzzled. They had been summoned by the Family Head at this critical moment, not knowing what important matter it was about.
“Qin Family Head, may I ask what important matter you have for me?”
Li Xiaobai swaggered into the hall, glanced around, and asked confidently.
“Scoundrel, you dare to enter my Qin Family Hall, who gave you the courage!”
“Someone, seize him at once!”
Upon sighting him, Qin Ming reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, angrily shouting.
“Hush, watch your words!”
“Young Master Li is my guest.”
Qin Ming said with some displeasure, calmly.
“This…”
“Family Head, why summon this brat to the family hall, do you intend to make a public execution to set an example?”
The Great Elder asked.
“From today, Abyssal Domain cultivators must not be enemies with Li Xiaobai.”
“I have my own plans, do you all understand?”
Qin Tian glanced around, speaking coldly.
“Understood!”
The Qin Family cultivators could not believe their ears, but seeing Qin Tian’s demeanor indicated no deception, they had no choice but to agree.
“Dismissed, focus all efforts on eradicating the remnants of the Wu Clan.”
Qin Tian waved his hand, speaking calmly.
The Qin Family cultivators were puzzled, but dared not ask more questions.
“What is the Family Head’s objective, feel free to convey, don’t keep us guessing. Treating me so well suddenly leaves me flattered!”
In the hall, only two people remained.
Li Xiaobai squinted, looking at Qin Tian and asked.
Something strange must be afoot, he felt Qin Tian had his own agenda.
“What are you talking about? Only until today did I realize that Young Master Li is a part of our own. Had I known earlier, such a misunderstanding would not have occurred.”
“Once this matter is resolved, please speak well of Abyssal Domain in front of her.”
Qin Tian looked at Li Xiaobai and smiled.
“I see, certainly, I will speak highly of Abyssal Domain on your behalf.”
“I just wonder, what is the relationship between the Family Head and my elder sister?”
Li Xiaobai asked.
“The relationship is very close. Thanks to her existence, I could establish a foothold in Abyssal City and solidify my foundation. I never thought there would be such a connection with you.”
Qin Tian rarely displayed a kind smile.
When Ye Wushuang had him closely monitor the situation in the Land of the Dead, he had already found Li Xiaobai’s location and accurately judged him to be one of his own.
He wanted to extract more information about Ye Wushuang from this young man.
“I see, it really is like the miscommunication between the same family. This visit was quite sudden, and I haven’t paid my respects to my elder sister yet. Does the Family Head know where my sister is currently located?”
Li Xiaobai also showed a kind expression, probingly asked.
“I do not know anything yet. That esteemed individual comes and goes mysteriously, never revealing their true form. No one knows their location.”
“If not for the recent actions of extraterritorial entities, I would not have had the opportunity to witness that esteemed individual’s prowess.”
Qin Tian spoke with a full face of reverence, recalling the recent battles left him with deep fear.
“What is this so-called upper existence?”
“The Wu Clan dared to strike the Abyssal Domain surely because they are under that upper protection.”
Li Xiaobai asked.
“I speculate it is a creature from the Boundary Sea with absolute control over the Immortal Gods Realm. It is a battlefield where only the most elite entities compete. Even I can hardly glimpse a corner of it.”
“That existence should also be within the Boundary Sea.”
Qin Tian gazed into Li Xiaobai’s eyes as he spoke.
“Since you possess the Nether Soul Stone from my Qin Family, I assume you plan to enter the Boundary Sea. If you don’t mind, I am willing to accompany you, offering support on the journey.”
After some deliberation, Qin Tian revealed his intentions.
Having drawn in Li Xiaobai all this time, it was clear his plan was to leverage Li Xiaobai to enter the Boundary Sea.
The pathway to the Boundary Sea is hidden within the Qin Family’s Scripture Pavilion, but the end of the passage leads to an endless void, an unfathomable universe, and without knowing the correct route, survival is impossible.
Even a clone produced by the System only landed upon a star by sheer luck and has not yet discovered a route to other stars, remaining trapped on a desolate wastestar.
“Qin Family Head seeks shared creation, why not venture there yourself? As far as I know, both the Nether Soul Stone and the entrance to the Boundary Sea are within the Qin Family residence.”
Li Xiaobai asked with a half-smile.
“Hahaha, of course I can go, but that esteemed individual has asked me to take special care of you. The ancient monsters in the Land of the Dead did not act against you for this reason.”
Qin Tian replied leisurely.
Words were half-truths; Ye Wushuang indeed instructed him to monitor the Land of the Dead, but the ancient monsters’ restraint was due to hesitancy in gauging Li Xiaobai’s abilities, missing their opportunity.
And the Boundary Sea is deep within the universe; had he known the way to go, he would have long ventured. Though confident in his prowess, he needed a guide familiar with the route.
In his view, Li Xiaobai undoubtedly knew the Ancient Starry Sky Road in the universe; how else would he know the location of the Qin family passage and manage to roguishly obtain the Nether Soul Stone?
“Thank you for your kindness, senior. I didn’t expect the Qin Family to hold me in such regard. However, at present, I have no intention of leaving the Immortal Gods Realm. I need more experience, accumulating power and cultivation level.”
Li Xiaobai shook his head and laughed.
“It’s merely a suggestion. Young people having their own goals is indeed a good thing.”
“Recently, the Starry Sky Battlefield in our Southern Territory is about to open; should you desire, you may go with my Qin Family disciples.”
“I am preoccupied with matters of the Abyssal Domain, feeling uneasy about these sect disciples.”
Qin Tian flipped his wrist, producing a key that emitted a golden brilliance, exuding ancient aura.
This was the key to enter the ancient battlefield, where only this secret key could ensure entry when the battlefield opens.
“Oh? Such a thing?”
“Where is this Ancient Battlefield located?”
Li Xiaobai’s thoughts stirred; acquiring another battlefield seemed beneficial.
“You’ve been there before; it’s guarded by cultivators of the Giant Spirit Clan. I believe with your abilities, you’ll surely protect my Qin Family disciples well.”
