Immortal God of War-Chapter 771 - 736: There are Some Things That It’s Better You Don’t Know!_1
Temple!
A golden figure materialized out of thin air. It was the Great Commander!
Following him, black-armored guards also appeared in the sky above the Elixir Palace and Martial Palace. There were a full twenty of them, and the auras they emanated were all unfathomably deep!
"Descend!" the Great Commander ordered coldly, his voice like a great bell, resonating throughout heaven and earth.
WHOOSH!!!
Instantly, the black-armored guards shot like lightning into the Elixir Palace and Martial Palace.
"What’s going on now?"
"Why are there so many Black Iron Army troops?"
Witnessing the black-armored guards descending as if they were divine soldiers from the heavens, the Temple disciples were utterly bewildered.
「Not long after.」
Lu Xingchen, Ren Wushuang, Shen Mei, Tan Wu, Dong Zhengyang, Ling Yu, and the others were brought before the Great Commander.
They too were baffled.
However, Lu Xingchen had a vague inkling. Cupping his hands, he looked at the Great Commander and asked, "May I ask, Sir, have we committed some offense?"
"No," the Great Commander shook his head.
Lu Xingchen said, "Then may I ask, Sir, if we haven’t committed any offense, why have you brought us all out here?"
Ren Wushuang and the others also wore expressions of suspicion.
"First, come with me to a place."
With a wave of the Great Commander’s hand, a portal opened.
Dong Zhengyang transmitted his voice, "Judging by his demeanor, he doesn’t come with good intentions!"
Lu Xingchen’s eyes flickered as he thought, Let’s not be impulsive. We’ll observe the situation first. Let’s go.
With that, he took the lead and stepped into the portal.
Dong Zhengyang and the others exchanged glances and followed suit.
Subsequently, the Great Commander also led the twenty guards into the portal.
「Before long!」
They all found themselves in an unfamiliar place.
Below them lay a vast mountain range, stretching as far as the eye could see.
The mountain range undulated with peaks and ridges, forming layers of overlapping mountains.
The mountain ravines were overgrown with towering ancient trees, their thick vines coiling like Horned Dragons.
At the same time, everyone could sense waves of terrifying, ferocious power emanating from the ravines!
"Where is this?" Lu Xingchen and the others wondered in surprise and doubt.
Suddenly, Dong Zhengyang pointed to a spot in the distance and exclaimed, "Look quickly, there’s an ancient castle over there!"
Everyone looked.
They saw a massive peak, thousands of zhang high, towering amidst the mountains. An ancient castle sat upon its summit.
The castle was enormous, soaring into the clouds, its entire structure as black as ink, exuding an aura of mystery and chilling cold.
And on the front of the castle, two large, blood-red words were shockingly inscribed!
—God’s Prison!
Seeing these two words, Lu Xingchen’s gaze trembled, and a sense of unease inevitably rose in his heart.
Immediately, he sent a voice transmission to Dong Zhengyang and the others, warning, "Everyone, be extremely careful. This is the back mountain of the Imperial Palace. Qin Feiyang’s mother is currently imprisoned within this God’s Prison!"
"What?"
The group was aghast.
Why had this Great Commander of the Black Iron Army brought them to God’s Prison?
"You need not be nervous," the Great Commander said.
"I brought you here merely to ask you to do one thing."
"As long as you cooperate obediently, I will release you immediately afterward."
"One thing?"
Could it be because of Qin Feiyang? Lu Xingchen frowned imperceptibly but didn’t ask directly. Sometimes, it was best not to appear too clever.
He looked at the Great Commander with a puzzled expression and asked, "What is it?"
"I believe you are all aware that Qin Feiyang has once again killed the Second Prince and others," the Great Commander stated.
"Yes." Lu Xingchen and the others nodded.
Although the incident had just occurred, the commotion it caused was so great that news had spread throughout the Temple almost immediately.
"To tell you the truth, His Majesty is extremely furious right now," the Great Commander continued.
"The State Preceptor has even ordered me to apprehend you and use you to coerce Qin Feiyang into submission."
Lu Xingchen frowned. "So, that’s why you brought us here, Sir?"
"Correct."
"However, I also know that this matter has nothing to do with you."
"Therefore, as long as you are willing to cooperate with me and persuade Qin Feiyang to return and surrender, then nothing will happen."
"Conversely, if you refuse to cooperate, then I will have no choice but to cast you into God’s Prison to lure Qin Feiyang here."
The Great Commander spoke very directly; he seemed to be an upright and forthright man.
But upon hearing his words, Ren Wushuang and the others clearly showed dissatisfaction on their faces.
"Calm yourselves," Lu Xingchen said, noticing their expressions and quietly soothing them.
Then, he looked at the Great Commander and sighed, "Commander, our relationship with Qin Feiyang is indeed quite good, but it hasn’t reached the point of life and death. I doubt he will necessarily listen to our persuasion."
The Great Commander’s gaze turned slightly colder. "How will you know if you don’t try?"
"Alright, I’ll try." Lu Xingchen sighed helplessly, took out an Image Crystal Stone, and infused his Battle Intent into it.
While sending the message, his eyes flickered subtly, and he asked cautiously, "May I venture to ask, is the Emperor aware of this matter?"
The Great Commander’s face instantly darkened. "That is not for you to ask!" he snapped.
Lu Xingchen’s expression changed, and he hurriedly bowed his head. "I apologize, I apologize. I overstepped. Please forgive me, Sir."
But an imperceptible glint flashed through his eyes.
「Meanwhile!」
At a mountaintop near the Black Dragon Pond, Qin Feiyang and Fatty had already consumed appearance-restoration pills and reverted to their true appearances.
Beside them, Li Li asked with a smile, "Brother Qin, what are your plans now?"
Fatty raised an eyebrow. "What business is it of yours what our plans are?"
"That might not necessarily be true," Li Li chuckled.
Fatty was taken aback and frowned. "What do you mean?"
Li Li smiled but said nothing.
Qin Feiyang also turned, appraising Li Li and Li Rong. "Speak. Who exactly are you?"
"We..." Li Li was just about to speak.
Just then, Qin Feiyang’s Image Crystal Stone activated.
He took it out, and a wisp of Battle Intent flowed into it.
Instantly, the figures of Lu Xingchen and the others materialized.
Including the Great Commander of the Black Iron Army!
Seeing Lu Xingchen and the others unexpectedly with the Great Commander, Qin Feiyang’s heart lurched.
Lu Xingchen asked, "Brother Qin, where are you now?"
As he spoke, he gave Qin Feiyang a meaningful look.
Having spent so much time together, Qin Feiyang understood Lu Xingchen quite well.
He immediately grasped the meaning and said nonchalantly, "What does my location have to do with you?"
"Indeed, it has nothing to do with me," Lu Xingchen said.
"But now, because of you, we’ve all been captured by the Great Commander."
"If you don’t return and surrender, I’m afraid our chances of survival are slim!"
"Brother Qin, we are friends, after all. You can’t drag us down with you!"
"Friends?" Qin Feiyang sneered. "I am not worthy of such an honor."
He then looked at the Great Commander and mocked, "Thinking you can threaten me, Qin Feiyang, by capturing a few nobodies? Aren’t you underestimating me a little too much?"
"Is that so?" A cold light flashed in the Great Commander’s eyes. His index finger shot out, and a bolt of Battle Intent pierced Lu Xingchen’s chest like lightning!
Lu Xingchen’s body trembled, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood on the spot.
A ghastly, thumb-sized bloody hole had appeared on his chest!
But it had not injured his heart.
Seeing this, Qin Feiyang’s hands, hidden within his sleeves, involuntarily clenched tightly.
But his expression remained unchanged, appearing utterly cold and heartless!
"You truly don’t care?" The Great Commander raised an eyebrow, his gaze shifting to Ren Wushuang and the others.
"If you don’t return, I will kill them all!"
With that, he waved his hand, and several jets of Battle Intent surged forth, striking Ren Wushuang and the others in the chest.
Instantly, blood stained the sky!
"Bastard..." Fatty’s hands also clenched tightly, a fierce killing intent surging within him.
Qin Feiyang thought to himself, Don’t be impulsive, he’s just testing us.
Fatty said, "Master Fatty knows he’s testing us, but we can’t let him get away with this either!"
A terrifying glint flashed deep within Qin Feiyang’s eyes. He looked at the Great Commander and said indifferently, "I don’t have time to waste with you. If you want to kill them, be my guest."
After speaking, he directly deactivated the Image Crystal Stone, his face immediately darkening.
"Boss, why don’t we just sneak into the Imperial Palace again and give them a fight to remember!" Fatty’s face was incomparably grim.
Hearing this, Li Li frowned slightly and hesitated. "Um... may I say a few words?"
"Speak," Fatty snapped, annoyed.
"I believe Lu Xingchen has already told you about the State Preceptor’s strength," Li Li said.
"Your spatial divine artifact cannot possibly escape the sweep of his Divine Sense."
"If you try to infiltrate the Imperial Palace again now, to put it bluntly, you’ll be digging your own graves."
Fatty retorted angrily, "But we can’t just let them harm Ren Wushuang and the others, can we!"
Qin Feiyang waved his hand. "It’s alright. Even if they have such intentions, I’m afraid they won’t succeed."
"What do you mean?" Fatty was puzzled.
"Do you think Lu Xingchen is the type to sit idly by and await death?"
"If the Great Commander truly harbored killing intent towards them, Lu Xingchen could simply enter his spatial divine artifact and escape the Imperial Palace with everyone," Qin Feiyang said calmly.
Fatty paused, then realized, "That’s right, his spatial divine artifact can move."
In other words, as long as Lu Xingchen was there, they had no need to worry.
SWOOSH!
「Just then.」
Above the Black Dragon Pond, a dark figure appeared out of thin air.
The man was strikingly handsome, his seven-foot frame as straight and imposing as an iron pine. He held a folded fan in his hand, giving him an air of refined elegance.
Qin Feiyang sensed the man’s aura immediately. Looking up, his pupils contracted sharply.
Because this man was none other than Zhuge Mingyang!
"How did he know we were here?" Fatty blurted out, then looked suspiciously at Li Li and Li Rong.
Li Li quickly waved his hands. "Don’t jump to conclusions! We didn’t inform anyone."
Zhuge Mingyang scanned his surroundings and soon spotted Qin Feiyang and the others.
"So, you truly are here!"
He snapped his fan shut, took a step, and instantly landed on the mountaintop, his aura firmly locked onto Qin Feiyang.
Qin Feiyang said, "To think you could even guess this. I find myself admiring your intellect more and more."
"I merely had a sudden thought about the time we joined forces to kill the Thirteenth Prince at the Black Dragon Pond," Zhuge Mingyang said.
"So, I decided to come here and try my luck."
"Unexpectedly, I actually found you."
"Any last words? Make them quick!"
"Last words?" Qin Feiyang shook his head and smiled. "There’s only one thing that puzzles me: why do you care so much about the Eldest Prince?"
"Some things are best left unknown to you." Zhuge Mingyang’s gaze turned cold. He tucked the folded fan into his belt and took a step towards Qin Feiyang.
BOOM!
Simultaneously, a vast and powerful aura surged forth from his body.
