With a cold snort, Su Jinghan had come alone this time without bringing any other helpers in order not to attract attention and avoid unnecessary complications. However, he didn’t expect to be targeted; when Huoyang Palace sent so many people over at once, it was almost certain they already knew of Qi Tian’s miraculous abilities and intended to kidnap Qi Tian to serve Huoyang Palace — a scenario Su Jinghan could not accept. If he failed to complete Emperor Jianwu’s order, Emperor Jianwu would surely not let him off lightly.

Moreover, within the Imperial Family Secret Territory, the competition between the Princes was extremely fierce, all scheming to snatch various cultivation resources and talents for their own use. If Qi Tian were to be taken by Huoyang Palace, it would greatly strengthen Huoyang Palace’s power while correspondingly weakening Jianwu Palace. In the long run, Jianwu Palace’s decline would be imminent, possibly leading to its removal from the Secret Territory, an outcome with no benefits for him.

No matter what, Su Jinghan could not tolerate such a situation developing. As a decisive man, he knew from Li Mijia’s thorough preparation that there was no room for the slightest concession. Any leniency would only embolden Li Mijia and his men to seize Qi Tian; by then, it would be too late for regrets, and even summoning troops from Jianwu Palace would be futile.

In an instant, Su Jinghan made his decision. Gritting his teeth, he touched his Storage Bag, and the dust whisk in his hand disappeared, replaced by a folding fan. His eyes coldly fixed on Li Mijia, he said, “Old Li, you’re forcing my hand.”
