Soon, Li Yuman and the others realized that Wang Haiyan and her team were not recklessly challenging all the forces inside the safe house, but rather had taken over Hongmen’s territory and were holding their ground. This allayed a lot of concerns from the other five forces about Qi Tian and his allies. Their stance shifted towards observing how long Qi Tian and his team could hold the territory. Hongmen was universally acknowledged as the strongest force inside the safe house, and even in the Imperial Master Mansion, Li Hongbin had a large number of followers. In their eyes, Qi Tian choosing to offend Li Hongbin was far from a good decision. Even if Qi Tian and his team managed to hold on to the territory until Li Hongbin returned, what would they do then? Once back at the Imperial Master Mansion, Li Hongbin would undoubtedly make every effort to reclaim his standing, and when the cost and interest were calculated together, how could Qi Tian’s side possibly come out on top?

They had a point, of course. However, none of the forces were willing to align with Hongmen. Li Hongbin’s autocratic approach to things made him unpopular among his peers, including Li Yuman. No one liked him, and most maintained an attitude of neither closeness nor animosity towards him. Besides, what was there to gain from helping to kick Qi Tian and his group off Hongmen’s territory? Who had time to waste on such a thankless task?

For a moment, Hongmen, which had been thriving in the safe house, seemed on the verge of collapse because of the aggressive actions of Qi Tian and Wang Haiyan. However, they did not hastily amass their forces to regain their territory. Instead, they stationed a few people at the entrance of the safe house to prevent Qi Tian and others from escaping and sent others to notify Li Hongbin.

As the leader of Hongmen, Li Hongbin was not at the safe house at the moment. He was leading a team to challenge a formation. To demonstrate his strength and to establish a formidable image, Li Hongbin had successfully led his team through the formation three times in a row. After every successful run, he would leave behind those who had gone with him to return to the safe house, then he would bypass a section of the isolation zone, regroup, and lead a new team through the formation. This approach of his had earned him quite a positive reputation and a fair amount of popularity.

When Hongmen’s people arrived at the isolation zone, Li Hongbin had just led his team through the isolation zone for the fourth time, preparing to challenge the formation. Although he had noticed the signal flare sent up by Cheng Guirong, he hadn’t given it much thought. After all, the force that Hongmen had left behind in the safe house was theoretically strong enough to prevent any issues.

Hongmen’s people could only wait. Although Qi Tian, along with Zhao Qian and Huang Liuyan, had managed to get through the formation in just over an hour, theirs was a rare case. Most groups of disciples from the Imperial Master Mansion had to spend a considerable amount of time on this task, ranging from several hours to even more than a day.
