Immortal God of War-Chapter 168: Not So Easy_1
Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Not So Easy_1
Feng Ling’er looked disdainfully at Qin Feiyang. Aren’t these just a few broken bones? Was it necessary to act like he had the world in his hands just because of them? Furthermore, these Sand Whales were nothing like the White Jade Demon Serpents. They were all at the War Emperor level; would they fall for such a bluff?
However, the next moment, she was stunned.
The Sand Whales blocking the entrance moved aside, opening up a wide path.
Qin Feiyang frowned and said, "What are you waiting for? Let’s go quickly!"
"Oh, oh, oh!"
Feng Ling’er nodded repeatedly and ran towards Ling Yunfei.
Qin Feiyang followed closely.
Both the White Jade Demon Serpents and the Sand Whales followed them too.
The scene was incredibly spectacular!
Once the three of them had regrouped, Ling Yunfei looked anxiously at Qin Feiyang and asked, "Are you alright?"
"I’m not going to die. Let’s hurry up!" Qin Feiyang laughed and urged.
Feng Ling’er turned her head to look at the group of ferocious beasts chasing them, saying worriedly, "I’m afraid they will follow us wherever we go."
Qin Feiyang frowned and said, "Call Elder Wan over."
Feng Ling’er called out, "Grandpa Wan, come quickly!"
Before long, Elder Wan tore through the sky, his old eyes filled with shocked disbelief upon witnessing the scene.
SWISH!
He landed cautiously beside the trio and asked Qin Feiyang, "Darn kid, tell the truth, what unforgivable thing have you done?"
"Let’s move first," Qin Feiyang said softly.
Elder Wan nodded. With a wave of his ancient hand, he swept up the three of them and soared into the sky.
ROAR!!!
Dozens of Sand Whales roared towards the heavens, their world-shattering ferocity on full display as they surged into the sky, chasing after the four of them.
A group of White Jade Demon Serpents also chased them frantically through the desert.
Elder Wan, shocked and furious, exclaimed, "You little brat! What in the world did you do?"
Qin Feiyang said, "It’s because of these bones."
"Hmm?" Elder Wan frowned, snatched a rib bone from him, and examined it closely.
After a few moments, his eyes were sparkling, his old face full of astonishment!
"I’ve never seen such hard human bones!"
"If they could be made into weapons, they would be invincible!" Elder Wan said excitedly.
Feng Ling’er and Ling Yunfei looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Elder Wan turned his head to look at Qin Feiyang, smiling and asking, "Haotian, do you think you could..."
Before he finished speaking, Qin Feiyang grabbed the bone back and put it into his Qiankun Bag, laughing, "Elder, don’t rush. We can discuss this when we get back."
"Alright, alright," Elder Wan nodded, a glint in his ancient eyes.
Behind them, beastly roars shook the heavens! Their ferocious might blotted out the sky!
The faces of the group had turned somewhat pale.
Feng Ling’er urgently said, "Grandpa Wan, they are still chasing, what should we do?"
"Unless we give those bones back to them, but..." Elder Wan wrinkled his brow, obviously reluctant to part with them.
Ling Yunfei, however, was looking at Qin Feiyang.
Qin Feiyang subtly shook his head. He understood Ling Yunfei’s intention: to have everyone hide in the ancient castle. But now, the Wolf King was in there. The moment Elder Wan entered, he would undoubtedly connect Qin Feiyang to his true identity. After all, this old man was a Law Enforcement Elder of the Martial King Palace; how could his mind be simple?
Just when the four of them were at a loss, a misty voice echoed in the minds of all the Sand Whales and White Jade Demon Serpents: "All of you return."
But Qin Feiyang and the other three didn’t hear it!
In that instant, the Sand Whales and White Jade Demon Serpents all halted. They glared menacingly at the four humans before turning back.
"What happened?"
"Why did they stop chasing?"
Sensing the anomaly behind them, Qin Feiyang and the others looked back, all extremely puzzled.
"Isn’t it better if they don’t chase?" Elder Wan sighed with relief. "Alright, let’s return to Yan City at full speed. Jiang Haotian, tell us about the situation beneath the lake." With a smile, he put up a Battle Intent barrier and led the three of them away without looking back.
「And that very night.」
Accompanied by a deafening crash, the valley actually sank into the desert’s depths. The dozens of Sand Whales and countless White Jade Demon Serpents had also disappeared with it!
「Twenty-one days passed.」
Yan City finally came into Elder Wan’s sight.
Elder Wan said, "Darn kid, we’re in Yan City. Come out."
These days, Qin Feiyang had been in the ancient castle, copying the Counter Curse Manual. He had successfully transcribed half of the final stroke. Upon hearing Elder Wan’s call, he closed the iron-bound book and appeared inside the barrier.
At the same time, Ling Yunfei and Feng Ling’er also opened their eyes one after the other.
"We’re finally back. But I didn’t gain anything from this trip," Feng Ling’er sighed and glared angrily at Qin Feiyang.
Qin Feiyang frowned. "Why are you glaring at me? It’s not like I forced you to go."
"You bastard..." Feng Ling’er gnashed her teeth.
WHOOSH!
Elder Wan brought the three of them directly flying into the city. Although Yan City had rules prohibiting beast-riding flights, this only applied to ordinary people; powerful individuals like Elder Wan were not restricted.
News of Qin Feiyang’s return also spread like wildfire through Yan City. In an instant, spies from various factions all began converging towards the Martial King Palace. It could be said that this news stirred up a storm.
「Martial King Palace.」
「The Grand Assembly Hall!」
The beautiful woman had already been waiting there. Once Qin Feiyang and the other two entered, she immediately unleashed a torrent of furious scolding upon them! The three of them were uncharacteristically obedient, lowering their heads and silently enduring the reprimand.
After a while, seemingly thirsty, the beautiful woman picked up a teacup, took a sip, and asked, "Do you dare to run off without permission again?"
The three of them shook their heads.
The beautiful woman continued, "Since you know you were wrong, there will be no need to put you in the pigsty."
"What?" The three of them were taken aback.
Ling Yunfei asked, "Elder, did you really prepare a pigsty?"
"Did you think we were joking?" Elder Wan snorted coldly.
The three of them immediately broke out into a cold sweat. Fortunately, they did not talk back. Otherwise, they might have really ended up spending some time in the pigsty. The mere thought of it was terrifying.
The beautiful woman waved them away. "Okay, you three may leave. Elder Wan and I have some things to discuss."
"Wait." Elder Wan quickly stood up and laughed. "Jiang Haotian, on this journey, even if I haven’t made great contributions, I’ve certainly put in the effort. It’s only fair that I also get one of those human bones, right?"
"Of course, that only seems fair." Qin Feiyang took out a rib bone and respectfully handed it over with both hands.
"Oh!" A surprised expression instantly appeared on the beautiful woman’s face.
"Then this junior will take his leave," Qin Feiyang said. As he was turning to leave, he seemed to remember something and looked at the two elders, chuckling awkwardly, "Seniors, I’m back now. Shouldn’t you return the Image Crystal Stones of Fatty and Lu Hong to me?"
The beautiful woman took out two Image Crystal Stones and placed them on the table, saying coldly, "If you dare to run off again next time, I’ll confiscate all of them."
"No, no. I won’t," Qin Feiyang shook his hands continuously, picked up the Image Crystal Stones, and scurried off as if he were a thief.
After the three left the hall, the beautiful woman couldn’t help but chuckle and shake her head. Soon after, she looked at the rib bone in Elder Wan’s hand and frowned. "Where did this come from?"
"That kid Jiang Haotian brought it from that place," Elder Wan said, eyeing the bone, his old eyes gleaming.
"This human bone... it’s radiating a mystical light. The person’s abilities in their lifetime must have been at their peak. When has Yan Province ever produced such a strong expert?" the beautiful woman mused, puzzled.
Elder Wan said, "I’m also quite puzzled. How about we go discuss this with the Hall Master? To be honest, I want to ask the Hall Master to accompany me on another trip to the Death Desert to retrieve the skeleton at the bottom of the lake." frёewebnoѵēl.com
"Alright," the beautiful woman agreed.
「Quiet Heart Lake!」
Upon Qin Feiyang’s return, Shi Zheng frowned, looking at him discontentedly.
Qin Feiyang looked somewhat embarrassed and said with an awkward chuckle, "Senior, about this... I’m truly sorry."
Shi Zheng said, "I hope there won’t be a next time."
"Absolutely not," Qin Feiyang assured him, raising his hand in a vow.
After sending Shi Zheng away, Qin Feiyang entered the loft. Fatty and Lu Hong immediately rushed down from the second floor.
"Brother Jiang, Master Fatty has missed you to death!" Fatty opened his arms wide and ran towards Qin Feiyang, the flesh all over his body quivering.
Qin Feiyang’s face twitched, and he sidestepped to dodge.
Fatty immediately looked at him with a wounded expression.
Qin Feiyang shivered all over, goosebumps springing up on his skin. "Can you stop grossing me out?"
He glared fiercely at Fatty, then walked to the tea table, plopped down on a chair, and gently rubbed his forehead, looking somewhat exhausted.
Seeing this, the considerate Lu Hong went to one side to brew tea.
Fatty sat down next to Qin Feiyang and asked with a sly grin, "Boss, you were out for over fifty days. Did you find any treasures?"
Qin Feiyang rolled his eyes at him, took out the Image Crystal Stones, and tossed them on the tea table. "Take good care of these. If they get confiscated again, I’m not responsible."
Fatty chuckled and quickly put them away.
"The tea is ready." Lu Hong poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Qin Feiyang.
"Thank you," Qin Feiyang said. He picked up the teacup. "Tell me what’s been happening in Yan City recently."
Lu Hong explained, "Apart from the marriage between the Crown Prince and Lin Yiyi, nothing significant has happened. During this time, we’ve also followed your instructions, distributing the pills every ten days. Since you left, we’ve distributed them five times."
Qin Feiyang nodded and asked, "What about the Blood Shura Order?"
Lu Hong shook her head. "Elder Ji is investigating it, but so far, nothing has been found. There’s also been no news from Chief Li’s side."
Qin Feiyang sipped his tea and fell into contemplation. He had a hunch that the origin of the Blood Shura Order was far from simple.
After a while, Qin Feiyang put down his cup and said, "Fatty, give me the Crown Prince’s medicinal herbs."
Fatty frowned. "You’re really going to refine them for him?"
"For every ten sets of medicinal herbs provided, I get to keep five. That’s equivalent to twenty million Gold Coins. Why wouldn’t I refine them? It’s just that it won’t be so easy to take these Top Grade Vermilion Glazed Pills. Besides, this royal family is truly wealthy and extravagant. To think they’re actually using five Top Grade Vermilion Glazed Pills as a betrothal gift." Qin Feiyang’s lips curled up slightly, a cold smile playing on them.
Fatty was startled. He took out a Qiankun Bag, handed it to Qin Feiyang, and asked, "What little scheme are you plotting now?"
Qin Feiyang took the Qiankun Bag, glanced at it, and said casually, "Unless something unexpected happens, the Crown Prince will definitely come looking for me in the next couple of days. When he does, just tell him that I’m cultivating and don’t have time to see him."
"Okay," the two of them nodded.
Qin Feiyang then said, "Lu Hong, help me get some writing materials."
Lu Hong immediately stood up and went upstairs.
