Qin Chu was the sole heir of the Vermilion Bird Holy Clan; his commands were met with no questions from the Vermilion Bird Holy Clan members, who, without a moment's hesitation, charged towards the White Tiger Holy Clan's forces.
Ignoring the battle, Qin Chu fixed his gaze on the two Martial Saint Cultivators from the White Tiger Holy Clan. If they dared to attack, he would have to fight with all his might. If he could hold out until the City Lord's Mansion patrol arrived, he would be safe.
The White Tiger Holy Clan members' screams echoed continuously, causing the faces of the two White Tiger Holy Clan Martial Saint Cultivators to alternate between pale and green. They knew they had encountered a madman. Qin Chu, this madman, didn't care about their threats at all?
To fight or not to fight? The two White Tiger Holy Clan Martial Saint Cultivators were conflicted. After a brief struggle, they exchanged glances and made a decision.
"Quickly kill them all! No one will know it was us, otherwise, we won't be able to explain to the Clan Chief," one of the Martial Saint White Tiger Holy Clan powerhouses shouted, then lunged at Qin Chu. The other White Tiger Holy Clan powerhouse attacked Qin Mo, who was slaughtering White Tiger Holy Clan members.
Holy Fire Sword Wings and Sparrow Flight—two movement techniques were simultaneously unleashed. The Azure Spirit Sword danced, executing the Thousand Waves Sword Art. Qin Chu charged at the White Tiger Holy Clan powerhouse rushing towards him. At this moment, only a fight to the death, only holding on, offered a chance.
"Shameless!" Ji Xin cursed.
"You make your move! In the name of the Alchemist Guild's Vice President, enforce the Martial Cease Order of Sacred Martial City," Mei Tianling said.
Just as Ji Xin was about to act, a group of people appeared, dressed in demon cloaks.
"You two have immense nerve, daring to disregard Sacred Martial City's Martial Cease Order! Kill!" The lead demon hunter, wearing a silver cloak, roared, leading his forces to attack the two Martial Saint powerhouses of the White Tiger Holy Clan.
Qin Chu dodged the attacking White Tiger Holy Clan Martial Saint powerhouse, then unleashed the Startling God Transformation, repelling the White Tiger Holy Clan powerhouse who was attacking Qin Mo. At this point, both White Tiger Holy Clan powerhouses were engaged by the demon hunters.
"Continue, wipe this place out!" Qin Chu shouted to the Vermilion Bird Holy Clan forces. Since they had started fighting, they couldn't give up halfway.
Soon, the forces within the White Tiger Holy Clan's stronghold were all killed by the Vermilion Bird Holy Clan warriors.
After giving the order to the Vermilion Bird Holy Clan forces to retreat and be careful, Qin Chu charged towards the White Tiger Holy Clan's Martial Saint Cultivators. The Demon Castle had shown him kindness, and he couldn't do the unrighteous thing of abandoning them.
"I didn't expect the people from Demon Castle to also be watching Qin Chu. I hadn't noticed them. You should still make your move, just as if you were passing by and enforcing Sacred Martial City's Martial Cease Order," Mei Tianling said to Ji Xin.
After Ji Xin made her move, the two Martial Saint members of the White Tiger Holy Clan couldn't hold on. Ji Xin, being able to serve as the Vice President of the Alchemist Guild, naturally possessed formidable strength.
In a short time, the two Martial Saint Cultivators of the White Tiger Holy Clan were one dead and one injured. The injured one surrendered in time, otherwise he would have been slain.
"I was passing by here and didn't expect anyone to disregard the Martial Cease Order. As for the dead, let them be. As for the living, how about taking them to the City Lord's Mansion for the City Lord's Mansion to handle?" Ji Xin said, looking at the demon hunter wearing the silver demon cloak.
"Thank you, President Ji, for your intervention. Lawbreakers must naturally be punished by the City Lord's Mansion." The silver-cloaked man waved his hand, and some people dragged the bodies of the fallen White Tiger Holy Clan powerhouses, while others escorted the living White Tiger Holy Clan powerhouse towards the City Lord's Mansion.
"Thank you, everyone!" Qin Chu shouted to the Demon Castle's team.
The leader of Demon Castle turned and waved at Qin Chu.
"Thank you, President Ji," Qin Chu said, cupping his hands again.
"Stop the nonsense, let's go quickly! The forces of the White Tiger Holy Clan and the Blazing Thunder Holy Clan will be here soon," Ji Xin shouted to Qin Chu. Then, she turned her head to look in one direction, grabbed Qin Chu's shoulder, and swiftly flew into an alley. Only then did she release Qin Chu and fly away.
Qin Chu's body flickered several times, disappearing into the night.
Just as Qin Chu left, the White Tiger Holy Clan's forces arrived, accompanied by the City Lord's Mansion patrol.
After surveying the scene, the City Lord's Mansion patrol retreated. As long as no innocent people were harmed and no fires were set to destroy Sacred Martial City, they wouldn't intervene.
"Even if the people from Demon Castle and you hadn't intervened, Qin Chu would have been fine holding out until the City Lord's Mansion patrol arrived. This young fellow is very strong," Mei Tianling said, glancing at Ji Xin, who had returned to her side.
"As long as the City Lord's Mansion people arrive, the White Tiger Holy Clan's forces won't dare to break the rules. They don't have the courage to defy the City Lord's Mansion," Ji Xin said.
Mei Tianling turned and left. "We miscalculated this time. Demoness Su had made arrangements, and Qin Chu will owe her a favor. Fortunately, you also intervened, so our Alchemist Guild also earned points in Qin Chu's heart."
Qin Chu left the alley and walked a short distance before seeing Qing Yi, wearing a bronze mask.
"Uncle Qing Yi, why are you following me? Please, you must not act. Sacred Martial City's Martial Cease Order is not a joke," Qin Chu exclaimed, startled to see Qing Yi, fearing he might intervene.
"After Young Lord left the Alchemist Guild, this subordinate followed. This subordinate saw several groups of people following, so I stayed at the very back. The President and Vice President of the Alchemist Guild also followed Young Lord out of the Alchemist Guild, so with them following, this subordinate kept a greater distance," Qing Yi explained.
"They didn't discover you?" Qin Chu asked, looking at Qing Yi with some surprise. He knew Mei Tianling was one of Sacred Martial City's magnates, so it was illogical that she wouldn't notice Qing Yi.
"This subordinate Cultivated a minor unique skill of the Black Tortoise Holy Clan, the Turtle Breath Technique, which can conceal one's Qi. That's why they didn't discover me. Now, this subordinate will escort Young Lord back to the Alchemist Guild," Qing Yi said to Qin Chu.
"The Black Tortoise Holy Clan's unique skills are still very powerful. I must be careful in the future," Qin Chu said.
Qing Yi shook his head. "The Turtle Breath Technique is difficult to Cultivate and relatively useless. This subordinate Cultivated it while in the Xuanbing Great Prison to avoid the ice spiders' harassment. Perhaps no one in the Black Tortoise Holy Clan Cultivates it."
Under Qing Yi's escort, Qin Chu returned to the vicinity of the Alchemist Guild.
"Someone is staking out the area, Young Lord. Do not fight. Use your fastest speed and rush into the Alchemist Guild; you'll be safe there. If Young Lord is safe, we will be the winners tonight," Qing Yi said to Qin Chu, looking towards the entrance of the Alchemist Guild.
"Uncle Qing Yi, the people from the Black Tortoise Holy Clan have arrived in Sacred Martial City. Please be careful." After reminding Qing Yi, Qin Chu unleashed the Holy Fire Sword Wings and flew towards the Alchemist Guild. Before the people blocking the entrance could react, Qin Chu flew into the Alchemist Guild's main entrance area, then turned to look at the blockaders.
Seeing the blockader, Qin Chu shook his head. "You keep blocking."
"Qin Chu, this Young Lord will make you die a horrible death, make you wish for death but unable to find it!" The blockader said with hatred. This person was none other than Shang Tang, who had a deep grudge against Qin Chu.
"Trash, you are a piece of trash!" Qin Chu cursed directly, looking at Shang Tang.
