Immortal God of War-Chapter 792 - 757: The Mysterious Ancient Tower_1

Fatty watched the reactions of the man and the wolf, his face twitching. "You can’t really believe she showed mercy, can you?"

Qin Feiyang said solemnly, "Whether or not she showed mercy isn’t hard to tell."

"How can we tell?" Fatty and the Wolf King looked at him in surprise and doubt.

"At that time, we, the Tower Master, and Mu Qing, were all attacked together," Qin Feiyang explained. "If the Tower Master and Mu Qing are dead, that would prove the mysterious lady did indeed show mercy. Otherwise, there might be another reason."

Fatty thought about it and nodded. "Makes sense. But where can we find them now?"

Back then, although they were attacked together, they had all scattered in the end. Moreover, the two of them must have also been buried underground like Qin Feiyang and Fatty. In such a vast area, searching for two people underground was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

"Not a problem." Qin Feiyang smiled, turned his head towards the Wolf King, and said, "It’s your turn to shine."

"Eh?" Fatty looked at the Wolf King suspiciously. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he slapped his forehead regretfully and chuckled, "Brother Wolf, quickly show off that keen nose of yours."

AWOO!

The Wolf King’s eyes flashed with a chilling light, and he bit Fatty squarely on the butt, causing Fatty to grimace in pain.

"If you dare disrespect me again, I’ll bite your balls off," the Wolf King growled, glaring at Fatty before turning to search the area.

Qin Feiyang shook his head with a smile, following leisurely behind the Wolf King. Fatty, clutching his bleeding butt, grumbled and tagged along.

A moment later, the Wolf King stopped before a pile of rubble. "I smell the Tower Master’s blood here. She should be in there."

Qin Feiyang waved his hand, and a sudden gust of wind swept the rubble away. Immediately, a bloodstained figure entered their sight.

It was indeed the Tower Master! But at this moment, her clothes were tattered, she was breathless, and the blood on her body had already begun to coagulate.

"Quick, check her!" Qin Feiyang urged.

Fatty walked over, squatted beside the Tower Master, and checked for a pulse and heartbeat. Gradually, he frowned, then extended his spiritual sense into the Tower Master’s body. After a careful examination, Fatty sighed deeply, looked up at Qin Feiyang, and said, "She’s dead. Cause of death: her Sea of Consciousness was shattered."

"We were all attacked at the same time. She died, but we’re still alive," the Wolf King said in a deep voice. "And she was a one-star War Saint, much stronger than us. Doesn’t this prove that woman showed mercy?"

Qin Feiyang’s mood suddenly became exceedingly heavy. It was a good thing to be alive, naturally, but worry followed. Why exactly didn’t this mysterious lady kill them? Was she planning some sort of conspiracy?

At this moment, Fatty reached out and removed the broken mask from the Tower Master’s face. A pale visage was revealed. It was only then that the three of them saw the Tower Master’s true appearance. She had delicate features, her brows and eyes like a painting. Her skin was as smooth and delicate as fine jade. She lay on the ground peacefully, like a sleeping beauty.

"Such a beautiful woman, dead just like that. What a pity," Fatty sighed deeply. He took her Qiankun Bag, then stood up and waved his hand. Dirt from the surroundings churned and buried the Tower Master.

"Indeed, a pity," the Wolf King nodded. He looked up at Fatty suspiciously. "Why did you take her Qiankun Bag?"

"You wouldn’t understand!" Fatty chuckled. "She was the Tower Master of the Elixir Tower in Sky Thunder City. Her Qiankun Bag might contain some information related to the Elixir Tower."

"You do have a point," the Wolf King conceded.

Qin Feiyang’s gaze flickered. "Check the Qiankun Bag later. Let’s find Mu Qing first!"

CRACK!

But before he could finish speaking, a crisp sound came from their left, like a dry twig snapping.

"Someone’s there!" Their gazes turned cold, and they simultaneously turned their heads to look.

About a dozen meters away, next to a small mound of earth, they saw a person. It was a young man, covered in wounds, his face as pale as paper. At that moment, a broken dry twig lay beneath his foot.

"You’re actually still alive?" The two men and the wolf were utterly incredulous.

It was Mu Qing! Although Mu Qing was severely injured, he was indeed standing before them, alive.

Mu Qing glanced at the twig beneath his foot, a hint of annoyance in his expression. He then looked up at the trio and sneered, "Are you disappointed that I didn’t die?"

Qin Feiyang scoffed, "Whether you live or die, it’s all the same to me."

"Indeed!" Mu Qing retorted. "You’re both Five Star War Ancestors, and I’ve only just broken through to Two-star War Ancestor. Naturally, I’m nothing in your eyes. But let me tell you, this matter isn’t over."

"You dare threaten us?" The Wolf King and Fatty exchanged a glance, a cold glint in their eyes.

"Want to kill me?" Mu Qing looked at them coldly. "Come on, then. If I so much as flinch, I’m not worthy of being a descendant of the Mu Family."

"Fine!" the Wolf King snarled. "I’ll grant your wish!" He lunged forward, murder in his eyes.

CLANG!

But just then, accompanied by a loud noise, a stone door swept out from between Mu Qing’s eyebrows. It was that imitation Door of Time and Space! The Door of Time and Space hadn’t reactivated, but the aura it emitted prevented the Wolf King from approaching.

"With your abilities, even if given the chance, you couldn’t kill me now," Mu Qing said with a disdainful grin. "Do you know Elder Sheng’s status in my Mu Family? I’ll tell you, he was merely a steward. So, if you want to kill me, you’ll have to train much harder." He promptly opened a portal and, taking the Door of Time and Space with him, stepped through without a backward glance.

Qin Feiyang had also been preparing to draw his combat sword, but he was a step too late. Mu Qing had escaped.

Looking at the dissipating portal, the expressions of the two men and the Wolf King were grim.

"Just what kind of powerful entity is this Mu Family?" Fatty frowned. If a mere steward was an Eight-star War Saint, how powerful were the Clan Elders and the Clan Leader of the Mu Family?

At this moment, both of them and the Wolf King became deeply aware that Mu Qing’s identity was far more terrifying than they had imagined. Who could provoke such a behemoth?

Qin Feiyang’s eyes flickered. He looked at Fatty and said, "Quick, check the Tower Master’s Qiankun Bag."

Fatty immediately immersed his spiritual sense into the Qiankun Bag.

The Wolf King glanced at Fatty, then said to Qin Feiyang, "Xiao Qinzi, you noticed the mysterious woman’s reaction when she saw Elder Sheng’s Battle Soul, didn’t you?"

Qin Feiyang nodded.

"That woman definitely has some history with the Mu Family," the Wolf King continued. "Do you think she deliberately showed mercy because of the Mu Family? Perhaps she wants us to fight the Mu Family to the death first, so she can reap the spoils while enjoying the show?"

Qin Feiyang frowned. The possibility the Wolf King had mentioned truly couldn’t be ignored.

"Got it!" At this, Fatty’s eyes lit up. He took out a black token and handed it to Qin Feiyang.

Qin Feiyang took it and examined it closely. The token was about the size of a baby’s palm. The front was engraved with the pattern of an ancient tower, and the back bore a name: Mui Qiuyu!

"Mui Qiuyu should be the Tower Master’s name, and the ancient tower pattern is likely the Elixir Tower’s emblem," Fatty said. "This must be her Identity Token."

Qin Feiyang nodded thoughtfully. "Is there anything else?"

"I’ll look again," Fatty replied. A moment later, a hint of disappointment crept into his eyes. He shook his head at Qin Feiyang. "Besides some Elixir Formulas and medicinal materials, there’s no information about the Flame of Heaven’s Thunder."

Qin Feiyang raised an eyebrow. He looked up towards the distant Elixir Tower, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let’s go. We’ll check inside the Elixir Tower."

SWOOSH!!!

The two men and the Wolf King moved at top speed, soon arriving at the entrance of the Elixir Tower. The scarred man hadn’t closed the tower door when he left, so the stone door of the Elixir Tower was currently open. Qin Feiyang flew straight in, heading directly for the top floor. The layout inside the Elixir Tower was familiar to them.

Soon, they arrived before the Tower Master’s alchemy room. The stone door was ajar. Qin Feiyang walked in. After so many years, nothing here had changed. The only difference was that the hidden door to the secret chamber, where the Flame of Heaven’s Thunder had been stored, was now wide open.

Qin Feiyang stood in the center of the chamber, surveying the surroundings. Without the Flame of Heaven’s Thunder, it was also much cooler here. But after a brief inspection, he found nothing suspicious.

After a dozen breaths, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Fatty and the Wolf King. "It seems that to thoroughly understand the Flame of Heaven’s Thunder, we’ll have to go into the deeper sections of the Elixir Tower."

Fatty said, "The deeper parts of the Elixir Tower will definitely have more powerful experts. Shouldn’t we try to increase our strength first?"

Qin Feiyang fell into contemplation.

The Wolf King suddenly asked, "Do you think that mysterious woman might know the secret hidden within the Flame of Heaven’s Thunder?"

"Not sure," Fatty shook his head. He then scanned their surroundings. "But this Elixir Tower... don’t you find it rather strange?"

"It is a bit strange," the Wolf King nodded, then asked with sudden suspicion, "It couldn’t actually be a Holy Artifact, could it?"

"Do you think Holy Artifacts are as common as radishes and cabbages?" Qin Feiyang rolled his eyes at the Wolf King, though his own eyes were filled with doubt. After all, Elder Sheng himself had said before his death that the mysterious woman was a War Emperor. The fact that the pressure of a War Emperor couldn’t destroy this Elixir Tower was rather puzzling.

"Let’s go out and take a look," Qin Feiyang said.

The two men and the Wolf King quickly exited the Elixir Tower, hovering in the air as they examined it from top to bottom. After a long while, Qin Feiyang shook his head. "Although I don’t know why this ancient tower is so sturdy, I can assure you it’s not a Holy Artifact."

"How can you be so sure?" Fatty asked curiously.

"If this ancient tower were indeed a Holy Artifact, the Tower Master would certainly have forcibly reactivated it to save her life when facing Elder Sheng and the mysterious woman. But she didn’t," Qin Feiyang explained.

"But what if she knew that even if she reactivated the ancient tower, it still wouldn’t be a match for Elder Sheng and that woman, so she simply didn’t reactivate it?" Fatty countered.

"That’s possible," Qin Feiyang conceded. "But have you considered this: the mysterious woman is an extraordinary existence. Could she possibly have failed to notice? If it were truly a Holy Artifact, she would have taken it long ago. Would she wait for us to come along? So, stop dreaming."
