Chapter 2274 - 2233: Escape and Concealment

Wang Xiaoqiang retrieved his pair of twin sons, and directly escaped into a large city, named Sunset City. Sunset City was vast, with over a hundred thousand residents, especially bustling during the day.

After Wang Xiaoqiang fled into Sunset City, he released some of the Spiritual Spring within him, disguising himself as a cultivator of One Spirit of Heavenly Beings Realm, and mingled among the people on the streets, weaving through several alleyways, eventually entering a brothel.

Since he was visiting a brothel, he had to adopt the demeanor of a patron to avoid suspicion. Under the enthusiastic introduction of the Madame, Wang Xiaoqiang chose a woman of mediocre appearance and spent a hefty sum to book her for a week, making the Madame so happy she couldn't close her mouth, and promptly arranged a room for Wang Xiaoqiang. Preparations for food and drinks were made.

The food and drinks were served, and Wang Xiaoqiang ate in the company of the girl. After a satisfying meal, the girl came to undress Wang Xiaoqiang,

Wang Xiaoqiang used his Divine Sense to lock her down. The girl's cultivation base was too weak, and once locked by his Divine Sense, she became as if under a Body Immobilization Technique, unable to move or speak.

Wang Xiaoqiang solemnly said to the girl, "I've booked you only to serve me food and drink, not to sleep with me. Do you understand?"

The woman blinked her eyelids, indicating she understood.

"Lay a ground bed on the floor. Don't disturb me." Wang Xiaoqiang said, releasing his Divine Sense, and the woman collapsed to the ground as if her strength had been drained. Wang Xiaoqiang tossed the bedding from the bed to her, letting her sleep on the floor.

The girl was sensible; seeing this, she said nothing, and followed Wang Xiaoqiang's instructions, making a ground bed and sleeping on the floor. Someone spending money but not ruining her was indeed a blessing, one the woman wouldn't refuse.

Wang Xiaoqiang saw the girl was obedient, quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He then sat cross-legged on the bed to cultivate. He had just refined and transformed Qiu Yihe's Divine Spirit and Divine Soul, gaining substantial Soul Energy. With the condensation of this power, his third Divine Sense had begun to condense, which meant his cultivation base was advancing towards the Third Decline of Heavenly Beings. During cultivation, his left hand continued to deteriorate...

Leaving Wang Xiaoqiang cultivating in the brothel room aside, the Myriad Heroes, with more than a thousand people having lost their lives at the Immortal Mechanism Sect, the remaining over eight thousand pursued to Sunset City,

Almost simultaneously, Qiu Xianji also led the elite disciples to pursue. Despite his previous statement that he would no longer covet the Golden Blood Boys, he pursued again, making the heroes despise and curse him, though they refrained from attacking him, focusing entirely on Wang Xiaoqiang,

In their eyes, Wang Xiaoqiang had taken the Golden Blood Boys and not only refused to divide them but had vanished without a trace. This behavior was identical to that of Qiu Xianji, warranting his death and the retrieval of the Golden Blood Boys,

They were unaware that the two Golden Blood Boys were actually Wang Xiaoqiang's children; he had merely taken back his own kids,

But now, Wang Xiaoqiang, having retrieved his sons, carrying the two Golden Blood Boys, had instead become a person guilty of possessing treasures.

The eight thousand plus heroes and the Immortal Mechanism Sect both detected Wang Xiaoqiang's escape into Sunset City, yet now he had vanished, leaving them to use Divine Sense for investigation,

Gathering over thirteen thousand people in total, the combined efforts of thirteen thousand Divine Senses swept through Sunset City like thirteen thousand searchlights, but after a thorough search, they hadn't found even a trace of Wang Xiaoqiang,

"Where has this little scoundrel escaped to, could he possibly not be in Sunset City..."

"It's impossible he's not here. My Divine Sense was always tracking him, but after he entered Sunset City, I couldn't detect him anymore,"

"Yes, yes, I encountered the same situation. But I assure you, he hasn't left Sunset City."

"Sunset City is vast, but the population is finite, and the Divine Sense is meticulous, leaving no stone unturned. Yet he isn't known to be a cultivator of the Second Decline of Heavenly Beings. We searched all individuals of this cultivation base yet still couldn't locate that kid, which indicates he probably isn't in Sunset City anymore. Aren't we wasting our efforts here?"

Some held the belief that Wang Xiaoqiang had already fled Sunset City, finding further search efforts pointless and foolish.

"No, that little scoundrel definitely hasn't left," Qiu Xianji abruptly spoke up, gravely stating, "With so many of us, and all these Divine Senses, if he were to leave Sunset City, it wouldn't escape our notice. I think he has a way to hide. Using Divine Sense alone is useless now. With our numbers, it's better to conduct a direct sweep of the city. I believe after a thorough ground search, the little scoundrel will surely reveal himself."

"Old Man Qiu, you dare speak! If it weren't for you, we would have already secured the Golden Blood Boys. It's all your fault. Not only did you prevent us from getting the Golden Blood Boys, but you also sacrificed your son's life. You're truly a harbinger of misfortune. I want you to leave right now; your presence here will only bring us bad luck."

"Exactly, exactly, Old Man Qiu, hurry back to your Immortal Mechanism Sect. Your son is dead, why come here?"

"Old Man Qiu, go home to hold your son's funeral. Stop causing trouble here. You have no business here."

The heroes unanimously scorned and insulted Qiu Xianji, driving him out.

Upon mention of his son, Qiu Xianji was filled with fury and resentment; Wang Xiaoqiang had killed his son, a vendetta he must avenge. But if not for the entanglement of these heroes, his son wouldn't have been so easily slain by Wang Xiaoqiang,

He harbored intense hatred towards these heroes as well, desiring to kill them swiftly, yet they were numerous and powerful. A direct confrontation wouldn't just fail to eliminate them but might bring about his own demise, forcing him to endure and slyly defend, saying, "Alas, my cultivation base is Seventh Mold of the Immortal; I have successfully reshaped my physical body. Even securing the Golden Blood Boys would be futile. Besides, my son Qiu Yihe is dead, completely annihilated, and is thus unrelated to the Golden Blood Boys. Hence, the Golden Blood Boys are meaningless to me now. I am here solely for my son's revenge on Wang Xiaoqiang. Since everyone is here to kill Wang Xiaoqiang, our goal is the same, why not join forces..."

"Hmm, Sect Leader Qiu's words indeed make sense." A formidable hero of the Third Mold of the Immortal, upon hearing this, actually believed Qiu Xianji's words and nodded in agreement, saying, "Very well, since everyone's objective aligns, collaboration is the best course,"

After the hero of the Third Mold of the Immortal spoke, the others ceased their ridiculing of Qiu Xianji, and Qiu Xianji said, "The little scoundrel clearly doesn't reside in Sunset City. He must have gone to an inn upon entering the city. We only need to investigate the hotels and inns..."

"Yes, Sect Leader Qiu's analysis indeed makes sense. We will organize teams of one hundred to conduct a search. Once any trace of the little scoundrel is discovered, we must immediately inform everyone, then we'll unite to kill him and retrieve the Golden Blood Boys."
