Immortal God of War-Chapter 744 - 709: The Fighting Arena_1

Staring at the dissipating teleportation portal, Qin Feiyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It may seem like his expression hadn’t changed throughout the whole process, but he was quite tense inside. Because the people of the Iron-black Army are keen observers, any small mistake could be noticed and exploited by them, so everything had to be perfect.

Sun Dahai also wiped off a cold sweat, expressing his doubt, "Brother Qin, what happened? Why were they suspecting you of all people?"

Even though he was the steward of the Grand Pavilion and held a position of power, he was still wary of the Imperial Palace’s Iron-black Army. Because the Iron-black Army is directly under the control of the Emperor.

"It’s because I’ve been too flamboyant recently," Qin Feiyang said with a wry smile.

"Flamboyant?"

Sun Dahai was taken aback, then shook his head and laughed. Indeed.

Because of the Potential Elixir, Qin Feiyang quickly rose within the Imperial Capital like a comet. The more popular one is, the more problems arise, as they say. Therefore, some troubles are inevitable. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Suddenly, a gleaming light flashed in Sun Dahai’s eyes, and he chuckled, "Even though this was a misunderstanding, I did help you out of it, don’t you think you should show some appreciation?"

Qin Feiyang’s face twitched. This old man sure knows how to take advantage of a situation.

"Goodbye."

He directly opened a teleportation portal and entered without looking back.

"Wait."

As if suddenly remembering something, Sun Dahai stretched out his hand and pulled Qin Feiyang back out.

"What is it?"

"You’re not going to let this go until I offer some appreciation, are you?" Qin Feiyang frowned.

"No, no."

"I was just joking earlier."

Sun Dahai hastily waved his hands. He couldn’t afford to offend this patron.

"So, what’s the matter?" Qin Feiyang asked.

"A while ago, I received news that someone had cleared out all the valuable medicinal herbs across all the branches in three days."

"Was that you?" Sun Dahai asked.

"It wasn’t me."

Qin Feiyang shook his head.

"That can’t be right!"

"Calculating the date, the incident happened precisely on the day you entered the Temple."

"Moreover, the herbs that were cleared out are exactly the same as the ones you guys purchased from my Grand Pavilion."

"Is this purely coincidental?" Sun Dahai questioned.

"Who knows?"

Qin Feiyang nonchalantly smiled, re-entered the teleportation portal, and swiftly vanished without a trace.

As soon as he returned to his Alchemy Lab, he received a message from Zhuge Mingyang.

"How did it go?"

Zhuge Mingyang asked with a hint of worry.

Qin Feiyang shook his head, "Everything’s fine now. What did His Highness say?"

"His Highness didn’t say much."

"However, I can tell that His Highness is very pleased."

Zhuge Mingyang laughed.

Qin Feiyang said, "As long as he’s happy. However, you better not try to manipulate me again, or you’ll bear the consequences."

With that, Qin Feiyang turned off the Image Crystal Stone and continued to copy the Killing Art in his castle.

「The Imperial Palace.」

In a certain grand hall, Zhuge Mingyang sat on a chair, staring at the fading phantom of Qin Feiyang, his eyes flickering with uncertainty. After the phantom completely disappeared, the Eldest Prince emerged from behind a screen to the side.

The aura he exuded was stronger than ever before! Apparently, he had already taken the Potential Elixir, Potential Pill, and the Nine-Bend Yellow Dragon Pill, stepping into the realm of War Ancestor!

"Your Highness."

Zhuge Mingyang got up and saluted respectfully.

The Eldest Prince nodded, "It seems that Qin Feiyang has figured out our intentions."

"I told you before, we cannot underestimate this man’s intelligence. We should not scheme against him unless absolutely necessary."

"Fortunately, he didn’t get angry this time. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Zhuge Mingyang sighed.

"Hmph!"

"I am the rightful Crown Prince of the Great Qin Empire. So what if I scheme against him?"

"Are we scared that he will get angry?"

"Did he ever consider that I would get angry hearing his words?"

The Eldest Prince snorted coldly, quite dissatisfied with Qin Feiyang’s earlier attitude.

Zhuge Mingyang couldn’t help but sigh softly. It seemed that the Eldest Prince had become arrogant after unlocking the Door of Potential and attaining the rank of War Ancestor. Didn’t he realize who gave him all this? If Qin Feiyang had the ability to help him, then naturally he had the ability to help other princes. Therefore, they must not offend him. But now, the Eldest Prince obviously hadn’t realized this yet. He also couldn’t say much more. Otherwise, the Eldest Prince would hold a grudge against him too.

「Over the next period.」

The Lin family and the people from the Imperial Palace joined forces to conduct a thorough investigation of the Imperial Capital. As a result, the city was filled with unease every day. Those previously arrogant and domineering sons of the Marquises were now unusually obedient. Those who should be cultivating, cultivated, and those who should be attending to their duties, did so.

As for Qin Feiyang, since he returned to the Alchemy Lab, he hadn’t stepped out.

Time raced by, and a month had passed.

The second stroke of the Killing Art was halfway completed.

However, the first to break through to the Three Star War Ancestor was the Wolf King. Fatty wasn’t far from the breakthrough either. Lu Hong, after years of continuous closed-door cultivation, finally stepped into the Eight-star War Emperor rank, only two steps away from becoming a War Ancestor. The Mountain Beast also made significant progress. Only the Black Dragon Snake remained stagnant, making no progress.

「On this day.」

"Qin Feiyang, get out here!"

A furious roar echoed from outside the door, startling everyone.

"Hm?"

Qin Feiyang raised his eyebrows. This voice... it sounds familiar?

Fatty said, "It seems to be Mo Dong."

"That’s right, it’s him."

Qin Feiyang nodded, withdrew his arm, and closed the Six-Character Mantra.

Fatty frowned and said, "His tone is a bit hostile. Could it be that he already knows the cause of Mo Wushen’s death?"

"So what if he knows?"

Qin Feiyang disdainfully smiled, then with a movement of thought, he left the ancient castle, opened the stone gate, and immediately saw Mo Dong standing angrily outside the door.

"What can I do for you, Senior Brother?" Qin Feiyang asked with a smile.

Mo Dong angrily said, "Spare me your hypocritical face."

"I’m puzzled," Qin Feiyang replied. "What do you mean, Senior Brother? How did I offend you?"

"Still playing dumb?"

"Did you kill my cousin, Mo Wushen?" Mo Dong roared.

"Yes, I killed him," Qin Feiyang said. "But he was asking for it. Moreover, the one I killed was him. I’ve not provoked you. Why are you so angry?"

"Do you still remember what I once said? ’Don’t let me find out Mo Wushen was murdered; otherwise, I will make the perpetrator pay the price.’" Mo Dong glared menacingly.

"I remember."

Qin Feiyang nodded and said, "So, Senior Brother Mo, are you planning to make a move against me?"

"Don’t think I don’t dare to fight you just because you can refine the Potential Elixir."

"I officially challenge you now!"

"Dare you accept!"

Mo Dong’s attitude was not only overbearing, but his tone was also aggressive.

"Are you sure about this?" Qin Feiyang frowned. "For such a despicable lowlife, are you willing to sacrifice your life? Is it worth it?"

Mo Dong shouted coldly, "Stop the nonsense, just say if you dare or not!"

"Why wouldn’t I dare?" Qin Feiyang gave a faint smile and asked, "But I want to ask first, who told you?"

"If you beat me, I’ll tell you," Mo Dong said.

Qin Feiyang said, "Well, let’s go!"

Although the Temple has rules that prohibit private fights, as long as both parties agree, they can go to the arena to settle their grudges. Furthermore, if you kill your opponent there, no one will hold you accountable.

The arena, located between the Elixir Palace and the Martial Palace, was a square with a diameter of over ten li, and every day people resolved their personal feuds there. Therefore, many disciples privately made bets, wagering on who would win or lose. Undoubtedly, the ones making the bets were the children of the various Marquises. Only they had the leisure time and the wealth.

Coincidentally, the one acting as bookie today was Feng Yun, the son of Martial Marquis Qian. On the east side of the arena, there was a betting table over ten meters long. Feng Yun sat beside it, with his leg crossed and a look of extreme satisfaction on his face. Next to Feng Yun were a dozen disciples, counting the bets on the table. These people were naturally Feng Yun’s lackeys. The bets consisted of Gold Coins, medicinal materials, elixirs, etc.

「A moment later.」

Qin Feiyang and Mo Dong stepped into the arena together.

"It’s Qin Feiyang!"

"What is he doing in the arena?"

"Just now, a disciple from the Elixir Palace told me that Mo Dong was challenging him."

"Who is Mo Dong?"

"He should be the one next to him."

"I don’t remember him, it seems like he’s just a nobody. A nobody dares to challenge Qin Feiyang, that’s suicidal."

"Look at how you talk, as if Qin Feiyang is so great."

"Although Qin Feiyang can refine the Potential Elixir, his cultivation is only that of a Two-star War Ancestor."

"As for Mo Dong, the aura he emits is that of a Three Star War Ancestor."

"True. The Potential Elixir doesn’t mean everything; power is the true way."

"This battle, who wins and who loses, is still hard to tell."

As soon as Qin Feiyang and Mo Dong were seen, the disciples around the arena began to speak in whispers.

Simultaneously, Feng Yun, sitting next to the betting table, also had a hint of astonishing cold light in his eyes. At this time, there were also two people dueling in the arena. Both of them were Three Star War Ancestors, and their duel was very exciting. However, at this moment, no one was paying attention to them; all eyes were on Qin Feiyang.

Meanwhile, Qin Feiyang also noticed Feng Yun, but only gave him a quick glance, then shifted his gaze, watching with interest the two people fighting in the arena.

This action undoubtedly made Feng Yun even more enraged. I’m also the son of a Marquis and the master of the first layer of the Elixir Palace! Shouldn’t he at least greet me when he sees me?

He turned his head to speak to the person beside him, "Go and invite Qin Feiyang over for me." The word ’invite’ was almost squeezed out between his gritted teeth.

The lackey gave a sycophantic smile and immediately ran towards Qin Feiyang.

In the crowd, there was a face very familiar to Qin Feiyang. It was Wan Chou! At this time, he was also watching Qin Feiyang with a cold smile.

Soon, the lackey ran to Qin Feiyang’s side and said flatteringly, "Senior Brother Qin, Senior Brother Feng Yun requests your presence."

This person’s cultivation was the same as Qin Feiyang’s; both were Two-star War Ancestors. But in the face of Qin Feiyang, whose fame was skyrocketing, he dared not be as arrogant as Feng Yun.

Qin Feiyang calmly glanced at Feng Yun and said, "Tell him if he wants me to come over, he should come here and invite me himself."

"This ..."

The lackey didn’t know what to do.

When Qin Feiyang said these words, he didn’t deliberately lower his voice, so everyone around him heard them. They were all dumbfounded.
