Immortal God of War-Chapter 780 - 745: Now, He is Stronger than You_1

"What’s going on?"

The young man couldn’t help but halt, gazing suspiciously at the city gate. Suddenly, he grabbed the arm of a burly man, asking in confusion, "Brother, what’s happening in Sky Thunder City that security is so tight?"

This burly man had just come out of the city.

Hearing the young man’s question, the burly man was taken aback and asked, "You’re not from Sky Thunder City?"

"No," the young man said with a smile.

"No wonder you don’t know." The burly man nodded in understanding and then asked, "Have you ever heard of Qin Feiyang?"

"Qin Feiyang?" The young man mused for a moment before shaking his head. "No."

"What? You’ve never even heard of Qin Feiyang?" The burly man was slightly stunned, and as he looked at the young man, disdain crept into his eyes.

Spotting this, the young man scratched his nose, gazed at the burly man confusedly, and inquired, "Brother, is this Qin Feiyang very famous?"

"No kidding! All these guards are making such a fuss precisely because of this Qin Feiyang. You think he isn’t famous?" the burly man remarked disdainfully.

Hearing this, the young man subtly raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice, "Brother, can you tell me more?"

"I don’t have time to waste chatting with you. If you want to know, ask someone else." The burly man gave the young man a cold glance, then turned and strode off.

Watching the burly man’s retreating figure, the young man frowned and looked back at the city gate.

Because of me? Could they already know that I was the one who massacred the three great tribes? the young man muttered.

That’s right! This person was indeed Qin Feiyang.

As for Fatty and the Wolf King, both beasts were currently in secluded cultivation within the old castle.

Before coming to Sky Thunder City, he had considered many factors and decided to disguise himself.

But unexpectedly, they’re actually using the Eye of Heaven Stone to check people here? It seems impossible to enter through the city gate now. However, I mustn’t forget I’ve stayed in Sky Thunder City before and know the coordinates within the city.

Immediately, he turned and strode into a small grove. Then, he opened a portal and appeared directly in front of the Spring Rain Building.

Qin Feiyang was no stranger to the Spring Rain Building.

He remembered his first visit to Sky Thunder City. It was during the Elixir Tower assessment, and all the inns and taverns in Sky Thunder City were fully booked. At that time, unable to find lodging, he had happened to meet Mu Qing and his sister right here. Mu Qing had even invited him to stay with them, but he had declined.

Many years had passed, yet the Spring Rain Building hadn’t changed much. The only difference was that it wasn’t as bustling as before.

Qin Feiyang glanced up at the plaque above the entrance and strode inside.

A waiter immediately came forward, smiling obsequiously. "Young Master, are you looking for lodging or a meal?"

"A meal," Qin Feiyang said with a faint smile, simultaneously surveying his surroundings.

The Spring Rain Building wasn’t very large; the main hall had only about twenty-odd dining tables. A few scattered groups of guests were seated, drinking and chatting, making the place seem rather quiet. However, there were numerous private rooms upstairs.

Led by the waiter, Qin Feiyang arrived at a dining table tucked into the furthest corner.

"Young Master, what would you like to order?" the waiter asked.

Qin Feiyang replied, "Just a couple of small dishes and a jug of wine."

"Right away!" the waiter called out cheerfully and scurried off.

Qin Feiyang settled down, listening to the conversations at the other tables.

Initially, the patrons at those tables were discussing trivial matters. But suddenly, at one table, a middle-aged man frowned and said, "Do you all think that Qin Feiyang has really returned?"

Upon hearing the name Qin Feiyang, the others immediately fell silent.

After a moment, a young, burly man said, "I think it’s true."

"If it’s true, Sky Thunder City is probably in for another round of chaos."

"Indeed. Back then, this man, with his monstrous talent for alchemy, overshadowed countless prodigies to become the Elixir Tower Master’s closed-door disciple."

"Later, he even plundered the treasure vaults and Elixir Fire of the three great tribes. His name truly caused a sensation!"

For a time, everyone buzzed with discussion.

At this moment, the waiter returned, carrying two small dishes, a set of bowls and chopsticks, a wine jug, and a wine cup, placing them before Qin Feiyang.

"Young Master, here are your food and wine. Please enjoy." The waiter gave a fawning smile and then hurried away again.

Qin Feiyang picked up the wine jug and, without a change in expression, poured himself a drink and began to sip it.

"I just don’t get it. With his talent and abilities, his future was practically limitless. Why would he do such things? Is he stupid?"

Suddenly, a voice filled with bewilderment rang out.

"Exactly! If he hadn’t done those things back then, the Tower Master and the City Lord wouldn’t have tried to kill him. What a waste of talent!"

"But what puzzles me most is why he came back. Does he now possess the strength to contend with the Tower Master?"

"You’re kidding, right? It’s only been a few years since he fled. How could he have become so strong?"

"Besides, what kind of existence is the Tower Master? Even if Qin Feiyang were given several more years, he could never become an expert on the same level as the Tower Master."

"True. Let alone the Tower Master, even if the City Lord wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as flipping a hand."

The discussions at the other tables grew louder, and eventually, even the tavern’s waiters couldn’t help but chime in.

Qin Feiyang, however, kept his head down, silently drinking his wine.

Time trickled by.

By noon, the tavern grew livelier as more customers arrived. They were, without exception, all discussing this matter.

But throughout the entire morning, Qin Feiyang hadn’t gleaned any valuable information.

He didn’t wait any longer, took out a dozen Gold Coins, tossed them on the table, then rose and left.

「The City Lord’s Mansion!」

Lately, this place was also under heavy guard.

Rows of guards, wielding halberds, stood as ramrod straight as iron statues. Anyone appearing suspicious would be stopped and questioned.

And at this moment, Qin Feiyang stood before the main gate of the City Lord’s Mansion.

The four guards flanking the gate watched him warily.

Seeing this, Qin Feiyang couldn’t help but find it amusing.

I’m not some kind of man-eating demon who devours people whole, after all. Is it really necessary for them to be so tense just because they heard I’ve returned?

"Ahem!" Clearing his throat, Qin Feiyang cupped his fists politely and said, "My name is Wang Hao. I have business with the City Lord. Could the four of you please inform him?"

"What business do you have with the City Lord?" one of them asked with a frown.

Qin Feiyang calmly said, "Earlier, I discovered traces of Qin Feiyang outside the city."

"What? He’s really back?" The four guards’ expressions changed drastically.

"Quick, follow me." Recovering his composure, one of them immediately turned and ran towards the interior of the City Lord’s Mansion.

Qin Feiyang shook his head and smiled, then strode after him.

A moment later, a magnificent grand hall came into Qin Feiyang’s sight.

Guard posts were positioned every three steps and sentry posts every seven steps around the hall; not even a fly could get in. The leading figure, however, was dressed differently from the other guards. While the others wore beast-skin coats, this man wore a long robe of black cloth. The aura he exuded also far surpassed that of the other guards; he was clearly a Nine-Star War Emperor!

And this man was no stranger to Qin Feiyang. He was precisely the Commander of Sky Thunder City’s guards.

Strange. Qin Feiyang swept his gaze around. This formation doesn’t seem to be to guard against me.

As Qin Feiyang and the escorting guard approached, the Commander glanced at Qin Feiyang, then looked at the guard who had led the way and asked, "Who is he?"

The guard hastily replied, "He’s called Wang Hao. He said he found traces of Qin Feiyang outside the city."

"Oh?" The Commander was startled and quickly turned to Qin Feiyang. "Is that true?"

"Absolutely true," Qin Feiyang affirmed.

The Commander’s pupils constricted. He said in a low voice, "The City Lord is currently attempting to break through to Two-Star War Ancestor and should be finishing soon. Please wait a moment."

Breaking through? Qin Feiyang was momentarily stunned, then nodded. "Alright."

Only now do I understand; these people are standing guard for the City Lord’s breakthrough.

BOOM!

About a hundred breaths later, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from within the grand hall.

A look of joy immediately appeared on the Commander’s face.

Shortly after, the main doors opened, and a middle-aged man strode out, his entire being radiating a majestic aura. He wore a well-fitting white robe, and his temples were streaked with white hair, giving him a seasoned air. He stood there, his long hair stirring despite the absence of wind, emanating an invisible but extremely intense pressure.

"Congratulations, Lord City Lord!" The Commander and the others all bowed and exclaimed.

The City Lord nodded and smiled. "Thank you all for your hard work."

Then, he looked at the Commander and asked, "Any news of Qin Feiyang?"

"Yes." The Commander nodded, pointed to Qin Feiyang, and said, "My Lord, this man discovered traces of Qin Feiyang outside the city."

"Where?" the City Lord immediately asked, turning to Qin Feiyang.

Qin Feiyang replied, "In a forest, not very far from here."

The City Lord was overjoyed and said eagerly, "Excellent! Take me there at once."

"Yes," Qin Feiyang responded respectfully, then immediately opened a portal.

The City Lord promptly started towards the portal.

The Commander quickly asked, "My Lord, do you need your subordinate to accompany you and assist?"

"No need. When Qin Feiyang fled back then, his cultivation was merely at the War King realm. Now, only six years have passed; at best, he’s a War Emperor. With my strength as a Two-Star War Ancestor, capturing him will be a piece of cake."

The City Lord chuckled disdainfully and walked through the portal without a backward glance.

A piece of cake, huh... Qin Feiyang muttered under his breath. A sharp glint flashed deep in his eyes as he, too, stepped into the portal.

Qin Feiyang and the City Lord emerged one after the other above an icy expanse.

"Hm?" Surveying the glacier below, the City Lord’s eyes immediately filled with surprise and doubt.

Qin Feiyang crossed his arms and smiled faintly. "Are you perhaps wondering why you’ve never seen this place before?"

The City Lord frowned, turned, and looked at Qin Feiyang suspiciously.

Qin Feiyang stated, "This isn’t the outskirts of Sky Thunder City. This is the Glacial Grotto Forest."

"Glacial Grotto Forest?" The City Lord paused, puzzled. "Why have you brought me here?"

Qin Feiyang said, "First, answer a question for me: do you really want to kill Qin Feiyang that badly?"

"Humph! That whelp has committed heinous crimes! He deserves to die!" the City Lord snorted coldly.

"Is that so?" Qin Feiyang chuckled drily. "I’m afraid you can’t kill him now, because today, he is stronger than you!" As he spoke, his concealed aura erupted with a roar, surging towards the City Lord like an overwhelming tide.
