Fox Borrowing Tiger's Might Feels So Good

Xu Yan looked at the three bruised and battered black-robed figures and asked, "Are these the ones who spread the Black Blood Pills?"

These three unlucky souls were beaten beyond recognition, but since they weren't good people to begin with, they deserved it.

Murong Hai said, "That's right, Senior Xu. These three are Evil Cultivators. They deliberately spread the Black Blood Pills this time to disrupt Tianren City and attract our attention, so they could secretly obtain the Chess Saint's inheritance."

They had just severely beaten the three Evil Cultivators and forced them to reveal why they were there and why they spread the Black Blood Pills.

Hall Master Mu looked at Xu Yan, filled with fear.

He was about to succeed when this person unleashed a beam of golden light that struck all three of them down, severely injuring them. He hadn't even seen the person make a move.

It was terrifying. He suspected that very few people in the Evil God Palace could match this individual.

The thin sect leader felt incredibly stifled. He had always believed that reclusive experts truly existed, but Hall Master Mu hadn't listened. Now, it was too late to believe.

Xu Yan tortured them a bit and said, "You spread the Black Blood Pills and harmed many people. If this were my hometown, you would lose your heads."

He paused here and said to Qin Tian and the others, "You all handle it. It's not really appropriate for me to deal with this kind of matter."

He didn't know how Evil Cultivators were dealt with in the cultivation world. As a Mortal, he didn't understand much, so it was better to leave it to the cultivators.

"Don't worry, Qin Tian will handle it properly and ensure they don't disturb Senior Xu again," Qin Tian promised.

Then, he called out to the leaders of the other major powers in the Southern Domain and dragged Hall Master Mu and the fat and thin sect leaders away.

A moment later, shrill screams rang out.

It was clear that the three Evil Cultivators had been killed.

Evil Cultivators were harmful to the world, always like rats scurrying across the street, hated by everyone. Once caught, they were usually killed on the spot.

Hall Master Mu died extremely stifled. If it weren't for the golden light released by that so-called reclusive expert that severely wounded him and rendered him unable to fight, how could a few cultivators at the Sea of Consciousness First Heaven and Second Heaven realms possibly kill him?

As his consciousness faded, he suddenly regretted not listening to the thin sect leader.

Qin Tian, Ji Bai Bian, Murong Hai, the Medicine King's Eldest Disciple, and Jiang Taiyuan walked back and said in unison to Xu Yan, "Senior Xu, the Evil Cultivators have been executed!"

They were all excited and felt like they were in a dream. Three Evil Cultivators in the Sea of Consciousness Realm, one of whom was a powerful expert at the Sea of Consciousness Triple Heaven, likely the leader of the Evil Cultivators in the Southern Domain, had all been killed by them here at once.

For some time to come, the Southern Domain would likely be much more peaceful.

"You handled it justly. Well done," Xu Yan praised them first, then said, "The excitement is over, so I'll be leaving now. You all have fun."

The formation here was already broken, the Evil Cultivators were dead, and the treasure, which seemed to be that chessboard, had already been given to Qin Yudie. There was nothing else for him to do here, so it was time to go.

"I'll escort Senior Xu," Qin Yudie said, hugging the chessboard.

She hadn't opened her Sea of Consciousness yet, otherwise, a quasi-divine artifact like the Heaven and Earth Chessboard could be stored within it.

"Okay!"

Xu Yan didn't refuse. With so many cultivators here, if someone took a dislike to him and attacked him, it would be troublesome. Having a cultivator accompany him would make such a situation unlikely.

Qin Tian smiled as he watched Qin Yudie leave with Xu Yan. In his view, Xu Yan wanted to protect Qin Yudie and deter those who had ill intentions towards the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.

With Senior Xu's actions, it was undoubtedly a public declaration that he and Qin Yudie had a good relationship, which would discourage any scoundrels from coveting the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.

Qin Tian thought to himself and looked at the others. To prevent them from spreading the news to others if they couldn't obtain the Heaven and Earth Chessboard themselves, he said leisurely, "Everyone, please keep the matter of the Heaven and Earth Chessboard a secret. If the news leaks out, it might displease Senior Xu."

He was also borrowing Xu Yan's prestige, and this feeling was exhilarating.

"Qiang Di assures Sect Master Qin that he will absolutely not speak of today's events!"

Qiang Di was the first to pledge, as he was from outside the Southern Domain and thus the most likely to leak information, so he had to show his stance quickly.

Yun Yao and the other Dao Palace disciples also stated that they would never reveal the matter of the Chess Saint's inheritance. They wouldn't dare to, either, as Senior Xu's cultivation was unfathomable. If pursued, the consequences for those who spread the news would be dire.

Ji Bai Bian looked at the Hundred Transformations Sect disciples around him and warned, "I will definitely keep my disciples in line. Anyone who dares to speak of what happened here today will have their entire family killed!"

He hadn't come alone; some disciples from the Hundred Transformations Sect had also arrived, so he had to keep them in check. Otherwise, if some brainless disciple bragged about today's events, it could lead the Hundred Transformations Sect to utter ruin.

"Old Qin, I definitely won't say anything, you can rest assured," Jiang Taiyuan said with a smile.

He hadn't brought any disciples, so he didn't have to worry about them speaking carelessly, which made him feel incredibly relaxed.

Others from various factions also rushed to assure him that they would not reveal the matter, fearing they would offend Qin Tian and the Senior Xu behind him.

Qin Tian nodded with satisfaction. "I have great faith in all of you Fellow Daoists, and I believe Senior Xu does too. Please do not disappoint Senior Xu."

In the end, he didn't forget to invoke Xu Yan's name.

It wasn't that he was overly cautious, but the quasi-divine artifact was of great importance. If it truly leaked out, the entire Muzhou, and even more distant places, would go mad. The Tianren Sect alone could not withstand it.

The people from various factions gave their assurances again, looking at Qin Tian with immense envy. Jiang Taiyuan even said with a hint of sourness, "Old Qin, you've really made it big now. You'll have to take good care of me in the future."

He wasn't jealous of Qin Tian, as they were old friends, but envy was inevitable.

From the beginning, Qin Tian's cultivation and status were inferior to his, and now, in less than a month, he had surpassed him in all aspects. This made him sigh at the benefits of having powerful backing.

If only he could find a reclusive expert like Xu Yan as a patron, that would be great. However, he knew it was highly unlikely.

True reclusive experts like Senior Xu were extremely rare, and there might not even be another one in the entire Southern Domain, or even Muzhou.

"Sect Master Qin, from now on, the Southern Domain will be ruled by you," Hall Master Ji Bai Bian said with great reluctance and helplessness.

In the past, the Hundred Transformations Sect and the Tianren Sect were rivals, and the Hundred Transformations Sect even held an advantage over the Tianren Sect. Now, they were no longer comparable.

Qin Tian felt incredibly pleased hearing this and laughed heartily, saying hypocritically, "Not at all, not at all. How could I, Qin Tian, be worthy? The Southern Domain will still rely on everyone to maintain peace together in the future."
