Immortal God of War-Chapter 770 - 735: I Don’t Agree, The State Preceptor’s Greed!_1
"So, what do you suggest?"
"After losing over three hundred billion just to invite them here, we surely can’t just let it end like this, can we?" Qin Feiyang said.
Fatty said, "But it’s too risky."
"They are the sons of the Emperor. How could killing them be risk-free?"
"Act according to the situation later."
"As soon as I make a move, you immediately open a portal," Qin Feiyang instructed in secret.
"Alright!" Fatty agreed.
Now the arrow is on the bowstring; it has to be launched!
The Second Prince urged, "Speak quickly!"
Qin Feiyang raised his arm and unclasped his fingers. The Potential Elixir instantly appeared before all the princes.
Instantly, everyone’s eyes shone with yearning.
Qin Feiyang smiled and said, "Actually, I seized the Potential Elixir not for myself, but to give it to Your Highnesses."
"Give it to us?" The princes looked at each other.
"Correct," Qin Feiyang said. "I am new to the capital city and unfamiliar with the surroundings, so I wish to ask for Your Highnesses’ guidance in the future."
All the princes understood; he was trying to win their favor!
The Second Prince smirked. "We see your sincerity, but how can we divide this one Potential Elixir?"
Qin Feiyang asked, "Then according to Your Highness, how should this Potential Elixir be distributed?"
The Second Prince chuckled. "It depends on who you pick."
The implication was that Qin Feiyang had to choose only one.
"Based on Your Highness’s words, it seems I really need to think carefully." Qin Feiyang frowned, surveying the various princes.
All the princes were looking at Qin Feiyang expectantly. After all, it was a great advantage, and who wouldn’t want it?
In the end, Qin Feiyang smiled and said, "After thinking it over, I believe it is most appropriate to choose His Highness the Second Prince."
The Second Prince smiled.
However, the faces of the other princes turned gloomy.
Qin Feiyang said, "Don’t worry, everyone. Although there’s no Potential Elixir for all of you, I have prepared a welcoming gift for each of you."
The Fifteenth Prince snorted coldly. "What welcoming gift can compare to the Potential Elixir?"
"What Your Highness says is correct; indeed, it cannot compare to the Potential Elixir. But it is a rare treasure, and I assure you, you will be satisfied." Qin Feiyang smiled, walked up to the Second Prince, and ceremoniously offered the Potential Elixir with both hands.
The Second Prince laughed heartily as he took the Potential Elixir, looking triumphant.
But at that moment, Qin Feiyang suddenly raised his head, two flashes of fierce light bursting from his eyes!
Immediately after, a stream of crimson Sword Qi erupted from his fingertips and directly entered the Second Prince’s forehead!
"ARGH—!" A cry of agony instantly echoed through the auction house.
"What’s happening?" Everyone was extremely puzzled.
Sun Dahai, who was on the auction stage, also immediately stopped the auction and looked in surprise toward Qin Feiyang’s VIP room.
「Meanwhile, in the VIP room!」
The Third Prince and the others were also staring wide-eyed in disbelief at the Second Prince, who was falling to the ground.
Fatty opened a teleportation portal.
It all happened in an instant!
After killing the Second Prince, Qin Feiyang grabbed the Potential Elixir and looked at the Third Prince and the others, murderous intent flaring in his eyes.
WHOOSH!!!
He waved his hand, and a dozen beams of Sword Qi emerged, entering each Prince’s forehead like lightning.
Instantly, blood splattered high! The screams resounded in all directions!
Qin Feiyang sneered, "This is the grand gift I give you. Are you satisfied?"
BANG!
Before he finished speaking, the door was forced open!
The black-armored guards who had been stationed outside swarmed into the VIP room. When they saw the condition of the princes, their faces changed drastically.
Fatty shouted, "Boss, quickly, let’s go!"
Qin Feiyang glanced at the black-armored guards, took a step forward, and walked directly into the teleportation portal.
Li Li and Li Rong also got up quickly and rushed into the teleportation portal.
One of the guards snapped back to reality. "Stop them quickly!"
Qin Feiyang’s mouth quirked into a cold smile. "Go back and tell the Emperor and the State Preceptor that I, Qin Feiyang, will return someday."
These words echoed throughout the auction house, filled with intense hatred and killing intent.
"What?"
Unsurprisingly, the entire auction house erupted into an uproar.
"You are the Fourteenth Highness?" the group of guards asked, looking at Qin Feiyang in disbelief.
"Who else could it be, if not me?" Qin Feiyang sneered coldly, and his figure vanished without a trace.
CRACK!
No sooner had Qin Feiyang departed than the floor-to-ceiling window shattered. Two figures flitted in like lightning and landed inside the VIP room.
It was Sun Dahai and Zhuge Mingyang!
Seeing the princes lying in pools of blood, their faces were etched with horror!
Meanwhile, the onlookers outside also soared into the air, staring at the bodies of the princes in shock.
Qin Feiyang has appeared again and killed all the princes! This man is far too insane!
"Where is he?" Zhuge Mingyang asked, having regained his composure. He looked at the guards, his gaze incomparably grim.
"He escaped," one of the guards said.
Zhuge Mingyang roared angrily, "He killed so many princes, and you let him escape? Do you know what the consequences will be?"
"We..." The guards stammered, their expressions filled with terror. Although they weren’t entirely to blame for this incident, ultimately, it was due to their failure to protect their masters. If the Emperor held them accountable, none of them would survive.
"So many of you couldn’t even stop one Qin Feiyang! You’re all useless trash!"
"What are you standing there for? Inform the Great Commander quickly!" Zhuge Mingyang clenched his fists and commanded angrily.
"Yes, yes, yes!" A guard quickly took out an Image Crystal Stone and sent a message to the Great Commander of the Black Iron Army.
Zhuge Mingyang then turned to look at Sun Dahai, saying grimly, "This happened in your Treasure Pavilion. It will be hard for your Treasure Pavilion to shirk responsibility."
Sun Dahai frowned. He seemed somewhat dissatisfied with Zhuge Mingyang’s words but didn’t rebut. It was the truth. Although he hadn’t known beforehand that Qin Feiyang had infiltrated the Treasure Pavilion, the fact that numerous princes had died here was undeniable. If the Emperor didn’t pursue the matter, it would be fine. But once he did, even Sun Dahai himself might not survive.
Sigh! This bastard, he really knows how to drag people into trouble!
「...」
"What did you say?"
"Qin Feiyang killed the Second Prince and the others again?"
"My heavens, this man is too terrifying!"
"He’s still a wanted man, yet he dares to run around committing murders again! Doesn’t he fear capture?"
"Crazy! He’s really gone crazy!"
News of this event spread like wildfire throughout the capital, causing an uproar. Everyone who heard the news reacted with shock and terror.
Killing the Eldest Prince, causing chaos in the Imperial Palace, and challenging the Emperor had already been shocking enough. Now, he had killed twelve more princes!
This Qin Feiyang is truly someone not to be provoked!
「...」
「Meanwhile. The Imperial Palace!」
After the Great Commander of the Black Iron Army received the news, he immediately went to see the Emperor.
However, the Emperor showed little reaction upon hearing about it.
On the contrary, the State Preceptor was furiously stomping his feet in the Golden Throne Hall.
He looked at the Emperor, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, this Qin Feiyang is too arrogant. We must devise a way to deal with him quickly, or who knows what other disasters he might cause."
The Great Commander nodded. "The State Preceptor is right. First was the Crown Prince, and now His Highness the Second Prince and the others. If this continues, I fear even the princesses and the underage princes might suffer his evil machinations."
The State Preceptor added, "This is exactly what I’m worried about, Great Commander. Do you have any sound strategies?"
"According to my investigations, although Qin Feiyang is cold and ruthless to outsiders, he is very loyal to his friends," the Great Commander said after a moment’s thought. "We could use his friends as bait to lure him out."
The State Preceptor’s eyes lit up. "Who are his friends?"
"From what I understand, his closest relationships are with Lu Xingchen, Ren Wushuang, Dong Zhengyang, Shen Mei, Ling Yu, Zhao Yu, Feng Ranran, and Luo Dan," the Great Commander reported. "And there’s also a man named Tan Wu, whom Qin Feiyang thinks highly of and has always wanted to recruit."
"Good," the State Preceptor ordered. "Take your men and arrest all of them for me immediately."
But at this moment, the Emperor, who had been silent until now, spoke, "I disagree."
The State Preceptor and Great Commander both looked at the Emperor.
"To deal with a War Ancestor, we would have to resort to threatening his friends? If word of this got out, what face would our Imperial Family have left?" the Emperor stated, his expression unchanged.
The State Preceptor countered, "Your Majesty, the situation is different now. If there were other methods, I wouldn’t resort to such a desperate measure."
"Since you know it’s a desperate measure, you shouldn’t even consider it," the Emperor stated. "In any case, I disagree. And none of you are to harm them behind my back."
The State Preceptor’s eyes flashed. Bowing, he asked, "Then may I ask Your Majesty to instruct us on how we should capture Qin Feiyang?"
"That is your concern. Figure it out yourselves."
Having said that, the Emperor rose and vanished in an instant.
I knew it; His Majesty still harbors some feelings for Qin Feiyang, the State Preceptor thought, his gaze darkening.
"You can’t blame His Majesty," the Great Commander sighed. "After all, no matter what, Qin Feiyang is his own flesh and blood. He was once the son His Majesty was most proud of and cherished the most."
"That little beast has become like this; what’s there left to care about?" the State Preceptor commanded. "You go and arrest Lu Xingchen and the others."
The Great Commander was taken aback and hastily said, "State Preceptor, His Majesty just clearly stated that we cannot act against them..."
"You just go ahead and do it. If the Emperor holds someone accountable later, I alone will bear the responsibility," the State Preceptor said.
"This isn’t about bearing responsibility; it’s a crime of defying an imperial decree!" exclaimed the Great Commander.
The State Preceptor’s gaze turned cold. "If you don’t go, I’ll have the Law Enforcers from the Temple go."
"Law Enforcers!" The Great Commander shuddered and nodded. "Alright, we’ll do as the State Preceptor says, but I have one small condition."
"Speak," commanded the State Preceptor.
"We can capture them, but we must not harm them. After all, they are only guilty of being close to Qin Feiyang; they’ve done nothing else," the Great Commander explained.
"Do you think I need you to tell me that?" the State Preceptor said. "If Qin Feiyang truly abandons them to die, I will certainly let them go."
"Very well, I’ll get on it right away." Relieved, the Great Commander turned and strode out.
The State Preceptor stood alone in the Golden Throne Hall, muttering to himself, his face cold, his old eyes filled with avarice. Qin Feiyang, you will never escape my grasp... That dagger... I am determined to get it!
