The old man was feeling utterly stifled!
He hadn’t expected this woman to be so terrifying—one move nearly killed him!
And he was a Time Traveler, no less!
Yet, against that strike, he had no resistance whatsoever.
Truly horrifying!
Beside him, Qin Guan suddenly opened her palm, and a storage ring flew to the old man. He glanced at it, then froze.
Inside the ring were 10,000 Cosmic Veins!
The old man looked at Qin Guan, “This…”
Ye Xuan blinked, “Help us find that person! There’s another 100,000!”
The old man’s voice trembled, “For real?”
Qin Guan nodded, “Yes!”
The old man hurriedly said, “Miss, follow me, I’ll take you there!”
He quickly pocketed the ring and led Qin Guan and the others toward Time City.
Ye Xuan and Dao Ling exchanged glances.
This old man had no principles!
Just beaten to a pulp by Qin Guan, and now he’s bowing down—shameless!
On the way, Ye Xuan suddenly asked, “Qin Guan, that guy said he took my stuff from the past… but how could he take it from the present?”
Qin Guan smiled, “Because his true body is here. Otherwise, no one could do that!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Got it!”
Soon, they reached Time City.
Upon arrival, the old man shouted, “White Saint, someone’s looking for you!”
After a moment’s silence, a middle-aged man emerged from the city.
Ye Xuan recognized him—the man who’d taken his sword!
The man glanced at Ye Xuan, then smiled, “What do you all want with me?”
Qin Guan smiled, “You took my friend’s stuff?”
White Saint frowned, “What stuff? Miss, I don’t understand.”
Qin Guan looked at him, “Hand it over now, apologize, and I won’t beat you.”
White Saint’s eyes narrowed, “Woman, are you threatening me?”
The old man hesitated, then said, “White Saint, mind your tone!”
White Saint sneered, “Mind my tone? Depends on who I’m talking to, doesn’t it?”
Qin Guan nodded slightly, pulled out a gun, and fired.
*Boom!*
A white beam surged out.
In the distance, White Saint’s face changed. He clapped his hands, summoning thousands of mountain shadows to shield him, their oppressive force sweeping the surroundings, terrifyingly powerful.
*Boom!*
The mountain shadows shattered, and the beam struck White Saint, hurling him tens of thousands of feet away. As he stopped, his body crumbled.
White Saint was stunned!
The old man sighed inwardly. Idiot, I told you to be polite, but you had to show off! Now look—your body’s gone!
Far off, White Saint stared at Qin Guan, trembling, “You… what is that thing?”
Qin Guan said calmly, “Hand it over!”
White Saint swallowed, asking again, “What… is that?”
Qin Guan frowned, aimed the gun at him. His face paled, and he blurted, “The sword’s not with me!”
Qin Guan’s expression darkened, “Wasting my time?”
White Saint hurriedly said, “It’s with the Time Sect’s leader. They’re studying it!”
Time Sect!
Qin Guan turned to the old man, who hesitated, then said, “The Time Sect, the top power in the River of Time. Everyone inside is a Time Traveler!”
Qin Guan looked at White Saint, “Get your sect leader out here!”
White Saint hesitated, then said, “Follow me!”
He turned into a beam of light and floated into the city.
Qin Guan started to follow, but the scythe-wielding woman warned, “Miss Qin, it might be a trap!”
Qin Guan blinked, “They’d better not, or I’ll level Time City!”
Scythe Woman: “…”
Soon, they entered Time City. As they did, terrifying light pillars rose around them.
A formation!
The scythe woman and her companion tensed, on guard.
Qin Guan’s brow furrowed again.
White Saint reappeared, joined by a white-robed elder.
The elder looked at Qin Guan, “I’m the Time Sect’s leader. Your name?”
“Qin Guan,” she replied coolly.
The elder frowned, “Never heard of you.”
Qin Guan shook her head, “Return the sword.”
The elder stared, “And if I say no?”
Qin Guan sighed softly, turning to Ye Xuan, puzzled, “Why?”
Ye Xuan was confused, “Why what?”
Qin Guan shook her head, “Why don’t people listen when I talk nicely?”
Ye Xuan thought, then said, “Next time, fire a shot first. They’ll listen.”
Qin Guan nodded, “Makes sense!”
The Time Sect leader interjected, “Miss, this doesn’t concern you. Why get involved?”
Qin Guan looked at him, “You should be glad he came to me. If he went to someone else, the River of Time would be gone!”
The leader frowned, “What do you mean?”
Qin Guan shook her head, “Stop wasting time!”
She aimed the gun at him. His eyes narrowed, and he vanished.
*Boom!*
A terrifying aura surged toward Qin Guan.
He was striking first!
But Qin Guan pulled the trigger, and a white beam shot out.
*Boom!*
A shadow retreated wildly, tens of thousands of feet away—it was the Time Sect leader. As he stopped, the space around him turned pitch black.
His body held!
The scythe woman and the old man exchanged shocked glances. This Time Sect leader was formidable!
Far off, the leader looked at Qin Guan, his eyes wary, “What is that thing?”
Expressionless, Qin Guan put the gun in her small bag, then pulled out an egg-like object.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s eyes twitched, and he stepped back. Qin Guan smiled, “Don’t worry, my Taiji Circle will protect you!”
Ye Xuan hesitated, “Really?”
Qin Guan nodded, looking at the Time Sect leader, “Come, try its power!”
She tossed the egg and covered her ears.
Everyone: “…”
The Time Sect leader’s pupils shrank. He clapped his hands, roaring, “Time God Palm!”
A massive palm print, thousands of feet long, powered by Time energy, hurtled toward the egg.
Qin Guan turned to Ye Xuan, “Cover your ears!”
Ye Xuan complied.
*BOOM!*
A deafening explosion shook the River of Time, causing countless experts to bleed from their orifices. A mushroom cloud, hundreds of thousands of feet high, erupted, and Time City vanished instantly, its Time energy shattered.
The entire River of Time trembled like an earthquake!
Ye Xuan, Dao Ling, and the others were unharmed, protected by the Taiji Circle, which blocked all the force.
Time City was completely erased!
Countless experts in the city either perished or were gravely injured.
Everyone was stunned!
The Time Sect leader and White Saint survived. The leader’s body was gone, his soul nearly transparent. White Saint, who’d hidden behind him, was spared because the leader had blocked most of the blast.
Both were dumbfounded!
The Time Sect leader’s mind reeled. What was that thing?
Qin Guan looked at him, pulling another “Don’t Mess With Me” from her bag. Seeing this, the leader and White Saint paled. The leader stammered, “Miss… the sword, we’ll return it…”
Qin Guan frowned, “If you’d said that earlier, we’d be done. Why make me fight? Fun for you?”
The leader’s expression froze.
Damn it!
How was I supposed to know you were *this* terrifying?
If I’d known, I wouldn’t have dared fight!
He now realized this woman was untouchable.
Qin Guan said calmly, “Hand it over!”
The leader hesitated, “The sword’s not with me.”
Qin Guan’s face darkened, furious, “Are you playing me?”
She pulled out over a dozen “Don’t Mess With Me” eggs. Ye Xuan and the others paled.
Holy hell!
One was already terrifying—over a dozen exploding together?
Unthinkable!
The Time Sect leader, scared witless, hurriedly said, “Miss, don’t be angry! The sword’s with a Half-Step Time Immortal in our sect, not far from here!”
Qin Guan’s face remained grim.
The leader hesitated, “Miss, shall I fetch him?”
Qin Guan said coldly, “He’s already fled!”
The leader froze.
Qin Guan called out, “Someone!”
A masked old man appeared beside her.
“Issue a bounty: I want that Half-Step Time Immortal’s head. One million Cosmic Veins,” she said calmly.
The masked man hesitated, then nodded, “Understood.”
He vanished silently.
The Time Sect leader hesitated, “Miss, it’s no use. That senior is a Half-Step Time Immortal. Few in this world can kill him, even—”
Before he finished, the space above cracked open. A bloody head and a sword floated out.
The leader’s pupils shrank, and he staggered back, eyes full of horror. “This…”
It was the Half-Step Time Immortal’s head!
Ye Xuan and the others were stunned.
This was the power of money?
Everyone: “…”
