Immortal God of War-Chapter 59: Snatching Credit_1

"Let’s go and see what’s happening," Qin Feiyang whispered, creeping over stealthily with Wolf King.

"Who would’ve thought Qin Feiyang was hiding in Black Bear Mountain."

"I’d heard he was very difficult to deal with, but I didn’t think much of it at the time. Turns out it was true."

"Hmph, you think too highly of him. If he hadn’t been hiding in the shadows and launching sneak attacks, I would’ve killed him long ago!"

"Exactly! Someone like him isn’t even worthy of being our opponent!"

Over a hundred young men and women sat in the forest, discussing matters as they tended to their wounds.

Some spoke with grave tones.

Others were extremely disdainful.

One man and one wolf hid in a dense thicket of grass, listening silently.

"Xiao Qinzi, they dare look down on you. We might as well take them all out right here," Wolf King chuckled sinisterly.

"There’s no need to waste time here. We should leave as soon as possible," Qin Feiyang said.

"Does this mean Brother Wolf has to go to the ancient castle again?" Wolf King sounded reluctant.

Although the ancient castle was perfectly safe, it was incredibly dull. It was tolerable for a short period, but any longer felt no different from being imprisoned.

Qin Feiyang thought for a moment, then said, "Why don’t you stay on Black Bear Mountain for now?" It’s a demonic beast; even if a beast tide occurs, it shouldn’t be a major issue for it.

"Okay, okay." Wolf King nodded repeatedly. This was exactly what he wanted.

"Say, if we reported Qin Feiyang’s presence in Black Bear Mountain to the City Lord and the Elixir Palace’s Hall Master, wouldn’t that be a great merit?"

"Of course, it would!"

"Yeah, why didn’t I think of that? Let’s go and report back immediately."

"The six of us should go back together."

"Alright, the rest of you stay here. Don’t wander off."

"..."

This conversation suddenly broke out.

Qin Feiyang frowned and looked up.

He saw the six young men and women he had previously failed to kill instructing their companions before quickly getting up and disappearing into the dark forest.

"White-Eyed Wolf, I’m afraid you can’t stay on Black Bear Mountain," Qin Feiyang said, retracting his gaze and looking at Wolf King with regret.

"Why?" Wolf King asked, puzzled.

"Because once they deliver the message, the major powers of Black Bear City will surely enter Black Bear Mountain themselves. If they run into you then, you’ll be lucky to escape with your skin intact," Qin Feiyang explained.

"Those damn bastards! Sooner or later, Brother Wolf will wipe them out!" Wolf King instantly seethed with anger.

Qin Feiyang shook his head with a wry smile. "Don’t worry. I’ll let you out for some fresh air as soon as I get the chance."

"I guess that’s the only way." Wolf King nodded in resignation.

After sending Wolf King into the ancient castle, Qin Feiyang smirked coldly. If anyone’s going to claim credit, it’ll be me. It’s hardly your turn. He then retreated silently, heading towards the cave.

Ling Yunfei was sitting alone in the cave, head lowered and brows furrowed, seemingly lost in thought.

As soon as Qin Feiyang entered the cave, he said to him, "Quick, come with me!"

"Where are we going?"

"And where have you been all this time?" Ling Yunfei looked at him in confusion.

"I’ll tell you later. Hurry!" Qin Feiyang said, then turned and ran out of the cave.

Ling Yunfei quickly got up and followed. But when he saw that Qin Feiyang was heading towards the outskirts of Black Bear Mountain, he frowned.

After running for a short while, Qin Feiyang suddenly stopped. Ling Yunfei was too slow. At this rate, they would never reach Black Bear City before those six.

Without another word, he grabbed Ling Yunfei’s arm, activated his Smoke Step, and dashed through the forest like lightning.

"Jian Haotian, what on earth are you doing?"

"And where did all this blood on you come from?" Ling Yunfei couldn’t help but ask.

"I’ll tell you everything once we’re back in Black Bear City," Qin Feiyang replied without explaining further; there was no time. He focused on traveling.

They avoided any demonic beasts they encountered along the way, so there were minimal delays.

「Before they knew it.」

Daylight began to break, and the sun started to rise over the horizon.

Qin Feiyang, with Ling Yunfei in tow, finally ran out of Black Bear Mountain.

"Look, isn’t that Jian Haotian?"

"Yes, it’s him."

"Didn’t he go into Black Bear Mountain? Why is he back already?"

"The person next to him... he looks like that good-for-nothing from the Ling Family. What’s his name again?"

"Ling Yunfei."

"Right, right, that’s him! How did he end up with Jian Haotian?"

「Outside the city.」

Most people had already dispersed, but the guards of Black Bear City, as well as the four major figures and the various Family Heads, were still present.

Seeing Qin Feiyang and Ling Yunfei run over, the guards immediately began to whisper among themselves.

Luo Xiong and the others also looked on with suspicion.

Reaching the foot of the high platform, Qin Feiyang leaped directly onto it, ignoring the surrounding guards.

However, Ling Yunfei’s face was as dark as a stormy sea!

The guards’ hushed discussions made him extremely uncomfortable.

Luo Xiong stood up, glanced at the two of them, and frowned. "Jian Haotian, Ling Yunfei, why are you back? Did you give up halfway?"

Qin Feiyang was about to speak.

But just then!

The Ling Family Head shot to his feet, glaring coldly at Ling Yunfei, and bellowed, "Giving up halfway? You’re not fit to be a descendant of the Ling Family! Ling Yunfei, I order you to get back to Black Bear Mountain immediately! Otherwise, don’t blame me for expelling you from the Ling Family!"

Ling Yunfei’s body stiffened, his hands clenching into fists.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Go!" the Ling Family Head snarled.

"Yes."

Ling Yunfei nodded, turned, and walked down from the platform. His eyes were bloodshot, brimming with endless grievances and dejection.

"Wait," Qin Feiyang said suddenly.

Ling Yunfei turned to look at him, a hint of gratitude in his eyes, but mostly helplessness. He then continued walking towards Black Bear Mountain.

"Do you want to live under someone else’s roof, barely surviving, for the rest of your life?" Qin Feiyang said without turning his head.

Ling Yunfei’s gaze wavered, and he involuntarily stopped.

A cold glint flashed in the Ling Family Head’s eyes as he said sternly, "Jian Haotian, this is a private matter of the Ling Family. What right do you have to interfere?"

"Hehe..." Qin Feiyang chuckled lightly. "The Ling Family’s private matters are naturally not for a junior like me to question. However, Ling Yunfei is my friend. Is there anything wrong with me showing some concern for a friend? Or does Ling Yunfei need your permission even to make friends?"

Friend!

Ling Yunfei’s body trembled. The word ’friend’ was far too foreign to him.

The Ling Family Head was also somewhat surprised. How did this good-for-nothing become friends with Jian Haotian? Now, he needed to weigh his words carefully.

After a moment of contemplation, he looked at Qin Feiyang and said tactfully, "Jian Haotian, you possess exceptional talent and are greatly valued by Hall Master Luo. Even Pavilion Master Pei greatly admires you. Ling Yunfei, however, is just a mediocre person; he may not be fortunate enough to be your friend."

Qin Feiyang’s lips curved slightly. Mediocre? He then said with a faint smile, "Family Head Ling, I don’t know why you suppress Ling Yunfei, but I can tell you responsibly that you will definitely regret this in the future."

The Ling Family Head clenched his fists, unconcealed anger flaring in his eyes.

Seeing this, Luo Xiong frowned. "Jian Haotian, Family Head Ling is, after all, an elder. You cannot be so disrespectful."

The Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion also chimed in, "Indeed. Juniors should behave like juniors. What sort of behavior is this?"

"It was inconsiderate of me." Qin Feiyang quickly admitted his mistake, cupping his hands. "I apologize, Family Head Ling. I, your junior, spoke out of turn. I hope you can forgive me."

"It’s nothing." The Ling Family Head waved his hand and returned to his seat, his expression rather unsightly.

The other Family Heads, however, exchanged complex glances. It seemed the Hall Master of the Elixir Palace and the Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion truly held this Jian Haotian in high regard.

Luo Xiong said, "Jian Haotian, now tell us, why did you suddenly return?"

Everyone present looked on, their eyes filled with curiosity.

Qin Feiyang said, "Seniors, Ling Yunfei and I discovered Qin Feiyang and that wolf in Black Bear Mountain, so we rushed back overnight to report to you."

"What?"

"Qin Feiyang!"

"Is this true?"

Instantly, everyone stood up, staring intently at Qin Feiyang and Ling Yunfei.

However, Ling Yunfei, too, looked at Qin Feiyang in utter confusion.

"Absolutely true," Qin Feiyang nodded.

The Ling Family Head glanced at Qin Feiyang, then turned to Ling Yunfei and asked, "You tell me, is this really true?"

"Well..." Ling Yunfei hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "It’s true."

The City Lord was overjoyed and laughed. "You two have rendered a great service this time! I shall now reward you both with a superior martial arts technique!"

He immediately took a bamboo slip from his Qiankun Bag and had a guard deliver it to Qin Feiyang, his actions swift and decisive.

"Thank you, City Lord," Qin Feiyang said gratefully, appearing very pleased on the surface, but inwardly he was scornful. A superior martial arts technique? Is he trying to dismiss a beggar?

Ling Yunfei, however, his eyes shining brightly. He had always dreamed of possessing a martial arts technique, but it had always been an unattainable wish. Now, he had finally obtained one, and a superior one at that. His excitement at this moment was beyond words.

Meanwhile, a glint flashed deep within the Ling Family Head’s eyes.

As for the Mu Family Head, the Jiang Family Head, and the heads of several other smaller families, their faces were filled with envy.

At this moment, the six young men and women finally ran out of Black Bear Mountain.

They approached the high platform with excitement, but when they heard that Qin Feiyang and Ling Yunfei had already snatched the credit, their expressions instantly darkened.

However, seeing that they had worked hard to rush back and report, the City Lord rewarded each of them with one thousand Gold Coins.

But how could a thousand Gold Coins compare to a superior martial arts technique? The six of them were extremely displeased, but with several major figures present, they dared not voice their resentment.

Nearby, the major figures had gathered to discuss the situation.

The Hall Master of the Martial Palace frowned and said, "How did that man and wolf save the Black Bear King’s cub? Could they know the Black Bear King?"

"Whether they know him or not, I must go to Black Bear Mountain," Luo Xiong stated coldly. The mere thought of the medicinal herbs he had painstakingly cultivated being plundered by that damned man and wolf made his blood boil. He had no idea that the real culprit was smirking secretly nearby.

The City Lord said, "The Royal Family has issued strict orders to capture Qin Feiyang at all costs. Therefore, I too must personally go to Black Bear Mountain. Who else is willing to accompany us?"

In the end, apart from the Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion and the Hall Master of the Martial Palace, everyone else decided to enter Black Bear Mountain to assist, as this was a good opportunity to curry favor with the Elixir Palace and the Royal Family.

Less than an hour later, the City Lord had assembled dozens of guards.

The Elixir Palace and the various prominent families also summoned many experts, including the old man in black who guarded the medicinal fields and the War King expert from the Lin Family of Yan City.

As they were about to depart, the six young men and women volunteered to lead the way.

With guides available, the City Lord and the others naturally did not refuse.

Thus, under the guidance of those six, the large contingent entered Black Bear Mountain with great fanfare.

As for Qin Feiyang, he looked as if it had nothing to do with him.

Ling Yunfei wanted to go, but Qin Feiyang stopped him.
