"Since the master trusts us, we will definitely handle this matter well."
While speaking solemnly, Qin Sebastian put away the "treasure map".
"Perhaps this huge temptation is the master's test for me and Li Theodore," Qin Sebastian thought to himself.
"When you reach the marked spots, try your best to search for the spiritual objects. If you find nothing, don't force it too much," Qi Oliver said calmly.
Although the locations shown on the Heavenly Map definitely contained spiritual objects, ordinary methods might not be able to detect them. Just like the sealed Earth Vortex Spirit Lake under the Huang family's ground—without relying on the Heavenly Map's surveillance ability, Qi Oliver would never have found it either.
After the two left, Qi Oliver turned back to the house, cultivating while waiting for "trouble" to come. Earlier, Meng Sophia had sent a guard to the Spirit Martial Sect to ask for help. Based on the guard's traveling speed, if he could successfully meet Wei David, the people sent by the Spirit Martial Sect should arrive soon. However, Wei David was engaged to Lu Ella, and his deal with Meng Sophia was something that couldn't be made public. So Qi Oliver guessed that Wei David would not show up in person. In the eyes of the Spirit Martial Sect, the Meng family was just a small clan, so the person sent to rescue them this time would not have a high status or strong cultivation! Therefore, Qi Oliver didn't worry at all.
Sure enough...
One day later, a group of martial artists with impressive auras arrived aggressively in front of the Meng Mansion. Among these people, ten wore green robes, two wore black robes, and one wore a white robe. Green robes were for disciples, black robes for deacons, and those who could wear white robes were elders!
Bang!
Without any explanation, the two black-robed deacons stepped forward, raised their palms, and smashed open the gate of the Meng Mansion. The gatekeeper servant was so frightened that he quickly ran to Qi Oliver's small courtyard to report. Although most of the former guest elders of the Meng family had left, the mansion's servants all stayed—after all, these people at the bottom would find it hard to make a living if they left the Meng Mansion.
"M-Master, it's bad! A group of people broke in forcefully!" the servant shouted in panic.
In the bedroom, Qi Oliver slowly opened his eyes.
"You inform the others to stay in the backyard," Qi Oliver said calmly.
The servant was stunned—was the master protecting them? The former members of the Meng family only treated them like cattle and horses; when had they ever cared about their lives! While the servant was in a daze, Qi Oliver had already walked out of the house.
"No matter what happens later, don't come and get involved," Qi Oliver glanced at the servant and said calmly.
The servant's eyes turned red with emotion: "We are not martial artists, so we can't help you. It's a pity that Elder Qin and Guard Li are both out—what should we do!"
"It's fine. They're just some small fries. Just don't run around," Qi Oliver instructed, then walked toward the front courtyard.
When the gate was broken, Qi Oliver had already taken a glance with the Heavenly Map. With just one look, he knew that the people from the Spirit Martial Sect had come. At this moment, the group from the Spirit Martial Sect had already rushed to the front courtyard.
"Who is Qi Oliver? Get out here!"
A black-robed deacon narrowed his eyes fiercely, shooting out a murderous light, and shouted angrily. The white-robed elder remained calm and composed, with his eyes lowered—if it weren't for the young sect master's order, he would never have set foot in such a small clan in his life.
"Elder, apart from that servant just now, there seems to be no one else left in the Meng family. Could it be that the boy has already escaped in these few days?" the deacon frowned and said.
An Theodore, the white-robed elder, said calmly: "He's already here."
The deacon raised his eyebrows.
Qi Oliver's figure walked out calmly from a circular gate.
"Are you Qi Oliver, the live-in son-in-law of the Meng family?" the black-robed deacon asked with a sneer.
Qi Oliver glanced at the man and said calmly: "You break into my Qi family's mansion and still dare to bark—Is this the style of your Spirit Martial Sect?"
"Qi family?" the deacon sneered. "This is clearly the Meng family! You're just a live-in son-in-law—do you want to seize someone else's property?"
An Theodore narrowed his eyes and stared at Qi Oliver: "You clearly know our identities. Since that's the case, there's no need for more words, right?"
"Qi Oliver, I advise you to hand over the young lady of the Meng family obediently. If there's even a scratch on her, I will never let you off," the black-robed deacon threatened fiercely.
Qi Oliver curled the corner of his mouth: "Then you've come too late. Meng Sophia's body should already be stinking. If your young sect master has a fetish for rotten corpses, I can tell you where I dumped her body."
"What!"
The faces of An Theodore and the others changed drastically! Had Meng Sophia already died?
"Don't try to trick us! I don't believe you dare to kill her!" An Theodore's eyes were fierce. Since Qi Oliver knew about the relationship between Meng Sophia and their young sect master, how could he dare to kill her? An Theodore didn't believe that a live-in son-in-law of a small clan would have such courage!
Qi Oliver sneered: "If you don't believe me, you can go out and ask around. By now, no one in Yuan Spirit City should be unaware that all four members of the Meng family have been killed by me! Also, when you go back, pass a message to Wei David for me—he'd better send back the Spirit Key of the Spirit Abyss Secret Realm. Otherwise, when I go to the Spirit Martial Sect to get it back from him, the price he has to pay may be more than he can bear."
The faces of everyone from the Spirit Martial Sect turned livid with anger!
"How dare you threaten the young sect master of our sect! You're courting death!"
Swish!
One of the black-robed deacons, who usually loved to show off, shouted angrily, rushed forward suddenly, and struck a palm at Qi Oliver! This man had reached the Ninth Rank of the Master Realm—such cultivation was already the peak in Yuan Spirit City. He also thought that with one strike, he could easily seriously injure Qi Oliver... After all, Qi Oliver was just a young man in his early twenties; how much cultivation could he have?
Bang!
However, the truth was that before the black-robed deacon could reach Qi Oliver, he was hit in the chest by a powerful fist force like lightning, and his whole body flew backward violently!
"Wah!"
As he flew backward, the deacon spat out a mouthful of blood! He felt as if his entire chest was about to explode!
An Theodore's expression darkened: "What a tyrannical fist force! It seems that the four members of the Meng family really couldn't escape your vicious hands!"
Qi Oliver said coldly: "They all deserved to die—their deaths were more than justified! I advise you to leave now and pass my message obediently. Otherwise... among all of you, I will only leave one alive to pass my message!"
"How arrogant!" An Theodore laughed angrily.
Qi Oliver stared at An Theodore coldly: "If you doubt me, test it with your life!"
"You!"
An Theodore was so angry that his chest heaved! He couldn't believe that in a small place like Yuan Spirit City, someone dared to threaten him! He was an elder of the Spirit Martial Sect, a genuine Grand Master! What gave this boy the courage to be so arrogant in front of him? But... the boy's cold expression and those eyes filled with an indescribable majesty made An Theodore feel an inexplicable palpitations! Could it be that the boy's strength was really stronger than his, a Grand Master? But how was that possible!
"Elder, this boy is too arrogant, and he injured Deacon Sun. If we don't kill him, how can we uphold the reputation of the Spirit Martial Sect? Besides, if he doesn't die, once the matter between the young sect master and the Meng family spreads, it may affect the marriage between the young sect master and Miss Lu. Therefore, he must die!" the other deacon said, his eyes filled with murderous intent. Although he was shocked that Deacon Sun was seriously injured by Qi Oliver with one punch, An Theodore was a Grand Master of the Fourth Rank! So he had absolute confidence in An Theodore!
