"Youāve already broken the seal?" Qin Tianās face showed a hint of surprise, "Didnāt you say before that it would take at least several sealing groups working together to have a chance to unseal it?"
Hearing this, Gao Shiniang was momentarily stunned, and then a look of surprise appeared on his faceāhe indeed said this to the Luoho Clan, but how did this young man named Qin Tian know so clearly?
He steadied himself and explained with a bitter smile, "Youāre right; I did say that, but it was just a tactic to stabilize the Luoho Clan."
His tone turned somber, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes, "I am very aware that with the Luoho Clanās style of conduct, once the seal is broken, my team and I will lose our value and will inevitably be silenced. So even though I have already broken the seal, Iāve never told anyone, not even the members of my team, just hoping to live a bit longer and see if I can find a chance to escape."
"Prof. Gao, you did the right thing," Dongfang Haoyue said solemnly, "The Luoho Clan has always been ruthless; in order to keep secrets, theyāll definitely kill you all as you said."
Gao Shiniang let out a bitter laugh, his eyes full of gratitude, "If not for the timely arrival of you gentlemen, my cunning would only have helped me live a few more months. Meeting you now shows itās not yet my time to die."
Upon hearing this, both Dongfang Haoyue and Zhuge Yu slightly nodded.
Indeed, if Qin Tian hadnāt accidentally discovered this place and orchestrated a confrontation between the assassins and the Luoho Clan, Gao Shiniang and his people would have never escaped death, no matter how much they delayed.
His survival was truly thanks to Qin Tian.
"Qin Tian." At this point, Dongfang Haoyue turned to look at Qin Tian, "Can you use the method you just used to protect Professor Gao first? I have something I wish to discuss with you alone."
"Alright," Qin Tian nodded and then turned to Gao Shiniang, his tone gentle, "Professor Gao, bear with us for a while longer. Once weāve handled whatās at hand, weāll take you away."
Gao Shiniang quickly nodded, showing no dissatisfaction at allāwhen he was placed in that strange space earlier, he felt the Spiritual Energy in his body was depleting at a very slow rate; as long as it didnāt take too long, it wouldnāt affect his body at all.
Not to mention this bit of "suffering," even if it was a more difficult situation, he would endure it just to escape the control of the Luoho Clan.
With a whoosh, Qin Tian raised his hand and used his ability to place Gao Shiniang into Yang Space.
After doing all of this, Dongfang Haoyue spoke directly, "I want to take that assassin; he is still useful to me."
Qin Tian heard this, and his expression didnāt change at allāin fact, he had already thought about the same thing.
That assassin is a top-tier Tier Seven Nine Stars spiritualist, incredibly powerful. Thereās no saying whether the Luoho Clan has similar methods to the Soul Seal; defeating him first and then forcibly controlling him to turn into oneās own strength.
If so, the trap he set up would become a "gift" to the Luoho Clan, which he doesnāt want to see.
"No problem, Iāll figure something out," Qin Tian agreed, while activating his perception to investigateāthe assassinās life waves were rapidly weakening; clearly he had been severely injured by Inzaghi, and the injuries were heavy, requiring immediate action, or it might be too late.
"Then Iāll leave it to you," Dongfang Haoyue said sincerely.
Qin Tian turned to look at Lan, and when his gaze fell on Lanās face, he noticed Lanās gaze had moved away from the ice pillar, but those clear eyes seemed to hold some inexplicable emotionsāconfusion, contemplation, and a vague solemnity, as if the words on the ice pillar had left a deeper mark in his mind.
"Lan, are you alright?" Qin Tian asked softly, his tone carrying a trace of concern.
Lan shook his head gently, his voice still serene, "Iām fine."
"Thatās good," Qin Tian breathed a sigh of relief, then his expression became serious and he looked at Lan intently, saying, "I might need your help later."
Heās very aware that although the assassin is seriously wounded, heās still a top-tier Tier Seven Nine Stars expert. Even if his Spiritual Energy is impaired, heās not easily subdued.
And Lanās Ice Ability is mysterious and powerful, with Lan by his side assisting, not only can the risk of actions be greatly reduced, but the success rate of subduing the assassin can also be improved.
Lan didnāt hesitate at all, just slightly nodded and uttered one word, "Okay."
Itās still as concise and straightforward as ever, yet with no trace of perfunctoriness, as if whatever request Qin Tian makes, he will agree.
Looking at Lanās determined expression, warmth surged in Qin Tianās heart, then he turned to look at Zhuge Yu and Dongfang Haoyue: "Letās set off quickly, delays bring changes."
"Hmm."
Both Dongfang Haoyue and Zhuge Yu nodded emphatically.
...
On the snowfield where the wind and snow howled, blood-red and golden Spiritual Energy collided and intertwined like two beams of light tearing the sky and earth.
Inzaghi Luohoās six arms each played their role, two arms clutching blood-red long knives, the blades entwined with Asuraās Evil Qi that pulsated like a living creature, every slash carrying the power to destroy the heavens and earth; the other four arms clenched into iron fists, blood-red Spiritual Energy glistening, even the wind of the fists hadnāt arrived, yet the air was already rippling in waves.
His eyes were blood-red, locking onto Cain, attacking densely like a storm, giving the opponent no chance to breathe.
Gold Spiritual Energy flowed around Cain, condensing layer upon layer of shields, but under Inzaghiās assault, these shields were shattered like fragile glass by the blood-red long knife, cracked by the iron fists.
