Immortal God of War-Chapter 69 Signing Life and Death Agreement_1

"COUGH, COUGH!"

Qin Feiyang choked on his saliva, so hard that tears welled up in his eyes.

This old man is surprisingly endearing, isn’t he?

Ling Yunfei, standing beside him, was also red-faced from suppressed laughter. Yet, he felt an unprecedented sense of comfort and exhilaration in his heart!

However, the expressions on the faces of the Ling Family members were quite a sight.

Jian Haotian had clearly started the trouble, yet Feng Cheng, an Elder of the Elixir Palace and a War King realm expert, not only failed to uphold justice but turned around and bit back at them.

Where was heavenly justice? Where was fairness?

They felt frustrated and furious! But they didn’t dare vent the fury that filled their hearts.

The War King and the Elixir Palace were like two towering mountains, pressing down on them so hard they could barely breathe!

Right now, they were like a mute who’d eaten bitter herbs—suffering in silence, unable to voice their grievances.

Qin Feiyang gave a dry cough and said with a smile, "Elders, it’s just a misunderstanding. Why don’t we let it go?"

Several elderly Clan Elders were so enraged they nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood on the spot.

The others were also trembling with anger, their hearts heavy with indignation!

You’re clearly the one who came to the Ling Family to stir up trouble, yet now you’re putting on such a magnanimous front!

How could such a shameless person exist in this world?

Their fists were clenched tightly. If looks could kill, Qin Feiyang would have died a thousand deaths by now!

Ling Yunfei glanced at each of them.

"Can’t take it already?" he thought, his gaze sweeping over them. "But have you ever considered that for the past decade or so, I’ve lived like this every single day? Have you ever thought about my feelings? This is retribution. No, it’s far from enough. I will continue to retaliate against you until you completely collapse!"

Ling Yunfei murmured to himself; the seed of hatred in his heart had already begun to sprout and grow.

Feng Cheng pretended to ponder for a moment, then shook his head. "No. How can we simply let this go when a Disciple of my Elixir Palace has been slandered?"

Elder Mo said expressionlessly, "Exactly. A mere minor family dares to offend the divine authority of our Elixir Palace. If we don’t make an example of them, how will our Elixir Palace maintain its standing in Black Bear City in the future?"

Qin Feiyang was dumbfounded.

He considered himself quite shameless, but he hadn’t expected these two old men to be even more so. Anyone foolish enough to cross them was destined for a tragic life.

"Elders, please... be merciful!" The Ling Family Head bowed deeply, lowering his proud head as he pleaded.

Actually, he wanted to say, ’Please don’t go too far.’ But he suddenly realized he couldn’t. Given Feng Cheng and Elder Mo’s personalities, if he said that, the Ling Family would undoubtedly have no peace tonight.

"What a headache." Feng Cheng rubbed his temples and said, "Fine. Seeing how pathetic you are, I’ll be magnanimous and overlook your offense. However, I expect you to speak respectfully from now on. Don’t force me and Old Mo to get rough."

"If you force my hand, evacuate the Ling Family members beforehand," Elder Mo stated coldly.

He spoke little, but his every word sent shivers down their spines! The implication was clear: if he made a move, the Ling Family would be razed to the ground.

"Thank you, Elders. We will certainly speak properly," the Ling Family Head said gratefully.

The group of Clan Elders also nodded in agreement.

Such was the tragedy of a clan; even the most powerful ones would never dare to openly challenge the four great powers: the Elixir Palace, the Martial Palace, the Royal Family, and the Treasure Pavilion.

Feng Cheng said, "Jian Haotian, if you have something to say, just say it directly!"

"Yes." Qin Feiyang nodded, looked at the Ling Family Head, and said, "The superior Martial Arts Technique you seized from Ling Yunfei—I trouble you to return it to me."

"Didn’t you say you didn’t want it?" The Ling Family Head frowned, reluctance written all over his face.

Qin Feiyang retorted, "Who said I didn’t want it? Besides, even if I didn’t, it wouldn’t be your turn to take it. Enough nonsense, hand it over."

A Clan Elder leaned close to the Ling Family Head’s ear and whispered a few words.

The Ling Family Head’s eyes lit up. "Jian Haotian, we must be reasonable. The City Lord stated clearly that Ling Yunfei also had a share. He is a member of my Ling Family, so the Martial Arts Technique should rightly belong to the Ling Family. I will go and make a copy for you immediately."

Qin Feiyang nodded. "Alright then, let’s be reasonable. Before you make a copy, please ask Ling Yunfei for his opinion."

The Ling Family Head said, "No need to ask. He will definitely agree."

Hearing this, a fierce anger surged in Ling Yunfei’s heart. He shouted, "Who said I would agree? What the City Lord bestowed upon me is mine personally! By what right should it belong to the Ling Family?"

"You little whelp, what did you say?" The Ling Family Head whipped his head around, staring grimly at Ling Yunfei, his face as dark as a stormy sky.

Feng Cheng coughed dryly and said nonchalantly, "Are you trying to force my hand?"

"No, no!" "Elder Feng, please don’t misunderstand." "Family Head, just give him the Martial Arts Technique!" "Yes, what’s ours won’t run away, and what’s not ours can’t be forced."

Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, the Clan Elders immediately stepped forward, smiling apologetically at Feng Cheng while trying to persuade the Ling Family Head.

Little whelp, don’t you regret this! The Ling Family Head’s lips moved slightly, mouthing the words silently. novelbuddy-cσ๓

Ling Yunfei shuddered, a chill running through his heart and mind.

Noticing Ling Yunfei’s strange reaction, Qin Feiyang asked in a low voice, "What’s wrong?"

"They might harm my mother," Ling Yunfei whispered, his eyes filled with worry.

"Don’t worry, I’ll help you figure something out," Qin Feiyang comforted him. He then walked up to the Ling Family Head, held out his hand, and said, "Hurry up and give it to me! Don’t be so reluctant!"

The Ling Family Head hated Qin Feiyang so much his teeth itched. He took the bamboo slips from his Qiankun Bag, threw them on the ground, and sneered, "Pick it up yourself."

He wanted to use this to humiliate Qin Feiyang.

"The head of a respected family resorting to such petty tricks—truly laughable." The corner of Qin Feiyang’s mouth curled up. He stepped on the bamboo slips, and with a surge of True Qi, they shattered into dust!

"What?!" "He actually destroyed the Martial Arts Technique!" The Ling Family members were instantly dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief.

Ling Yunfei felt the same, his heart aching with regret and pain. This guy is simply wasting a priceless treasure!

Even Feng Cheng and Elder Mo found it incredible.

"You destroyed this Martial Arts Technique right in front of us! Tell me, what exactly do you mean by this?" the Ling Family Head roared.

"It means that what you consider a treasure is worthless in my eyes. How does that feel? Who’s being humiliated now, you or me?" Qin Feiyang sneered.

"You..." The Ling Family Head bit out each word, his teeth chattering from rage, "I advise you, don’t go too far!"

Qin Feiyang said innocently, "You brought this humiliation upon yourself, how can you blame me? Now, let’s discuss the second matter: hand over Ling Yunfei’s mother."

"Impossible!" The Ling Family Head refused outright without a moment’s consideration.

The faces of the Clan Elders also darkened instantly. And the gaze of each one became even more terrifying than before!

Qin Feiyang’s heart skipped a beat. It seems I was right, there’s definitely something suspicious about this.

He asked calmly, "Why impossible? She’s just a woman with no strength to even truss a chicken. I really don’t understand what use you have for her."

"This is a Ling Family internal affair and has nothing to do with you." The Ling Family Head gave him a cold glance, then turned to Feng Cheng and Elder Mo, cupped his fists, and said, "Elders, I can agree to everything else, but I will absolutely not agree to this matter. I hope you can make Jian Haotian restrain himself a little."

"Indeed, he should restrain himself. Otherwise, I, the City Lord, will definitely report this matter to the Yan King!" At that very moment, an authoritative voice rang out.

The City Lord, the Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion, and the Hall Master of the Martial Palace arrived one after another.

"City Lord, please seek justice for our Ling Family!" "This Jian Haotian, relying on the Elixir Palace’s backing, is practically lawless and causing an uproar!" The group from the Ling Family, as if seeing their savior, rushed to the City Lord, crying out their grievances.

"Jian Haotian, what should we do?" Ling Yunfei asked, extremely anxious.

"Don’t panic, I have a plan," Qin Feiyang said in a low voice.

The City Lord’s arrival was within his expectations. After all, the City Lord disliked him; upon receiving news, how could he possibly stand by and do nothing?

The Hall Master of the Martial Palace said, "Jian Haotian, you should be content. Go back now, stop causing trouble here."

"I’m not causing trouble. Since all you esteemed sirs have arrived, let’s get straight to the point. Ling Family Head, on behalf of Ling Yunfei, I formally challenge your son, Ling Sheng!" Qin Feiyang declared.

"A challenge?" The Ling Family Head raised an eyebrow.

Qin Feiyang’s gaze was cold and piercing as he stared at him. "That’s right! Conflicts between Martial Artists should naturally be resolved in the way of Martial Artists.

"Three days from now, Ling Yunfei and your son, Ling Sheng, will battle outside the city!

"If Ling Yunfei is defeated, not only he but I as well will be at your disposal.

"If Ling Yunfei wins, you will return his mother to him.

"Ling Family Head, do you dare to accept this challenge?"

Everyone exchanged glances. Has this kid lost his mind? Doesn’t he know Ling Yunfei is just a good-for-nothing?

Feng Cheng’s face was grim. "Jian Haotian, this is too risky. I do not agree."

Qin Feiyang smiled. "Fortune favors the bold—everyone knows this saying. Besides, Ling Yunfei is my friend; I can’t just ignore his plight."

Feng Cheng said angrily, "He betrayed you, yet you still consider him a friend! Kid, are you missing a few screws?"

Qin Feiyang said, "Old Feng, thank you for your concern, but my mind is made up. As long as the Ling Family Head dares to accept the challenge, I won’t go back on my word. I’m even willing to sign a life-and-death agreement right now!"

"You’re mad, completely mad! Come back with me immediately!" Feng Cheng roared, grabbing Qin Feiyang’s arm, preparing to drag him away.

Seeing this, the Ling Family Head gave a sinister smile and declared loudly, "Jian Haotian, I accept your challenge! Let’s sign the life-and-death agreement immediately!"

Feng Cheng bellowed, "I do not agree!"

Elder Mo suddenly said, "Old Feng, since Jian Haotian has already spoken, he cannot go back on his word. Otherwise, if word gets out, people will say that Disciples of our Elixir Palace are untrustworthy."

"How can you be muddled too?" Feng Cheng was so anxious he was practically jumping up and down.

"Old Feng, Old Mo has a point. The reputation of our Elixir Palace cannot be tarnished." Just then, Luo Xiong walked into the hall, his face devoid of expression; no one knew what he was thinking.

"You’re all mad!" Feng Cheng shouted angrily, then turned to Qin Feiyang and said, "Kid, I’ll ask you one last time: do you really intend to sign this life-and-death agreement?"

Qin Feiyang nodded.

"Hopeless case! I can’t be bothered with you anymore!" Feng Cheng cursed angrily and stormed out of the hall to get some fresh air.

Qin Feiyang was deeply moved. Although he didn’t know what the final outcome would be, at least for now, the people of the Elixir Palace genuinely cared about him, especially Feng Cheng.

The Ling Family Head glanced at Qin Feiyang and, somewhat impatiently, ordered, "Someone, prepare brush and ink!"

Soon, a servant entered the hall carrying a jade tray and placed it on the dining table.

"I, the City Lord, will write the life-and-death agreement for you." The City Lord stepped forward, took out a sheet of white paper, dipped the brush in ink, and with a flourish, firm and powerful characters quickly appeared on the paper.

In no time, the life-and-death agreement was written.

Qin Feiyang read it over carefully and said, "City Lord, one more clause needs to be added: The Ling Family members absolutely must not harm Ling Yunfei’s mother. If this is violated, the major powers shall unite to punish them!"

The City Lord raised an eyebrow and turned to look at the Ling Family Head.

"Add it!" the Ling Family Head said in a low, stern voice.

The City Lord picked up the brush again, finished writing, and then stepped aside.

The Ling Family Head bit his finger and was the first to press his bloodied fingerprint onto the document. Then, looking at Qin Feiyang, he sneered, "Your turn. Don’t back out."

Qin Feiyang smiled nonchalantly, directly cut his finger, and pressed his own fingerprint onto it.

With that, the life-and-death agreement came into effect!
