Immortal God of War-Chapter 952 - 909: Betrayal, the State Preceptor Arrives!
Qin Feiyang scrutinized Lu Xingchen.
Lu Xingchen’s emotions appeared genuine, with no sign of any deceit.
But!
He dared not trust Lu Xingchen easily.
Because Lu Xingchen was someone who could disguise himself better than he could.
So he couldn’t determine whether Lu Xingchen was telling the truth or not.
"Ahem!"
Suddenly.
Elder Yi, who had been silent all along, coughed with his fist to his mouth.
Everyone was slightly surprised and looked towards him.
It wasn’t until then that Dong Zhengyang and the others noticed this old man.
And only now they realized that the lightning tribulations around them were kept at bay by a barrier.
The owner of this barrier was none other than this old man.
Their hearts immediately surged with shock.
Being able to easily block these lightning tribulations, how powerful was this old man’s cultivation?
Meanwhile.
Elder Yi glanced around at everyone and said, "Although I don’t want to ruin your joyous reunion, there is something I must say. This place is not safe to linger on, you should leave immediately."
Upon hearing this, Qin Feiyang suddenly shivered, wishing he could slap himself.
Where is this?
This is the Divine Prison!
And we are actually chatting here, isn’t this courting death?
What if the State Preceptor suddenly breaks in, wouldn’t we all perish?
Qin Feiyang looked at Elder Yi and said, "Quick, open the Gate of Time and Space, let’s return to the Forgotten Continent immediately."
Elder Yi nodded, and the Gate of Time and Space instantly emerged from within him.
"Tian Er, I can’t leave."
But just then.
The woman in white said.
"What?"
Qin Feiyang was stunned.
"Feiyang, I can’t leave either."
The old gentleman followed up.
"This..."
Qin Feiyang looked at the two, momentarily at a loss.
"You know my character."
"As the former Command of the Spirit State, I could never betray the Great Qin Empire."
The old gentleman said.
Qin Feiyang angrily said, "It was the Emperor who was unrighteous first, how can this be called betrayal?"
"Regardless, we are subjects."
"When the ruler orders the minister to die, the minister has no choice but to die."
"Besides, His Majesty merely imprisoned us, he never said he would kill us."
"Feiyang, whatever you do, we won’t interfere, even if one day you directly oppose His Majesty, we won’t dissuade you."
"But we also hope that you respect our decision."
The old gentleman said.
Qin Feiyang was instantly furious to the extreme, shouting, "This is blind loyalty, do you know that?"
The old gentleman laughed, "Even if it’s blind loyalty, I won’t regret it."
Qin Feiyang then looked at his mother and asked, "Then mother, what is your reason?"
"If I could leave, I would have left with you last time."
The woman in white sighed.
"What exactly is it? Can you tell me?"
"Stop saying I’m still young, don’t want me to worry, don’t want me to bear a heavy burden."
"I’ve grown up now, I can shoulder it with you."
Qin Feiyang shouted in anger.
What was the reason he came back this time?
Wasn’t it to take everyone away from the Great Qin Empire?
But the two most important people in his life chose to stay in the Divine Prison. How could he not be anxious?
Seeing Qin Feiyang’s anxious look, the woman in white couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache.
But sometimes, it’s not about what you want, but what you can do.
"Tell me."
"Otherwise, I’ll go find him now, at worst it’s death!"
Qin Feiyang said in a deep voice, nearly losing his mind.
This "him" naturally referred to the Emperor.
The woman in white heard Qin Feiyang’s defiant words and was slightly angry, "Then tell your mother, can you defeat the State Preceptor and your father the Emperor?"
Qin Feiyang fell silent.
The woman in white sighed, "When you have the power to defeat them, your mother will tell you why you cannot leave."
Lu Xingchen’s eyes gleamed, and he bowed, "Empress, I have a question that has puzzled me for a long time, I hope you can enlighten me."
"Speak."
The woman in white looked at Lu Xingchen.
"Qin Feiyang’s grandfather, your father, possesses power that even the Emperor fears, why not seek his aid?"
Lu Xingchen asked.
"Yes!"
"We can find Grandpa!"
"Mother, give me the coordinates to Grandpa’s place, I’ll go find him immediately."
Qin Feiyang said with a shudder, hurriedly.
But upon hearing this, the woman’s face turned cold, she snapped, "Tian Er, you really make me more and more disappointed!"
"Disappointed?"
Qin Feiyang looked at his mother suspiciously.
What did he do to disappoint his mother?
The woman in white said, "Remember, don’t always think of asking others for help, rely on yourself."
"Is Grandpa considered others?"
Qin Feiyang retorted.
He really couldn’t understand what his mother was hesitating about.
"Your grandfather is of advanced age, we can’t let him worry about us anymore, so I will not allow you to find him."
The woman in white said, her tone leaving no room for opposition.
"How strange."
Lu Xingchen murmured.
Logically, with such a big event, even if the woman hadn’t sought help, Qin Feiyang’s grandfather should have received word by now.
So why has there been no sign of him?
"Could it be..."
Suddenly.
Lu Xingchen seemed to think of something, his gaze trembled slightly as he looked at Qin Feiyang, "I can’t leave with you either."
"I wasn’t planning on taking you, you can do as you please."
Qin Feiyang said impatiently.
"You..."
Lu Xingchen immediately glared at him, "Even though we once fought side by side, aren’t you afraid I’ll be hurt by saying this?"
Qin Feiyang ignored him.
Lu Xingchen felt very awkward.
He thought that Qin Feiyang would at least ask why he didn’t leave.
But unexpectedly, he didn’t ask anything.
To be precise, he acted as if he didn’t exist at all.
"Why am I even bothering?"
He sighed inwardly.
But!
Qin Feiyang’s indifference to Lu Xingchen didn’t mean everyone else felt the same.
For instance, Mu Qing was so anxious inside the ancient castle that he was nearly jumping over a wall.
At the same time.
Elder Yi also watched Lu Xingchen. Although he said nothing, his puzzled eyes said it all.
Lu Xingchen certainly noticed Elder Yi’s gaze but only responded with a faint smile.
Though whether they communicated secretly remained unknown.
"Alas!"
Looking at the silent Qin Feiyang, the woman in white lightly sighed and said with a smile, "Tian Er, your mother is already content just with you coming back to see her, don’t delay any longer, leave quickly!"
Qin Feiyang shut his eyes in pain.
"Where’s the commander of the Kylin Army?"
Suddenly!
Dong Zhengyang’s incredulous voice rang out.
"Huh?"
With these words.
Everyone scanned the prison cell, surprisingly unable to find the commander of the Kylin Army.
Elder Yi’s expression changed and he quickly said, "Go outside and check!"
Lu Xingchen turned and stepped into the corridor outside, saying in a deep voice, "Gone!"
"Damn it!"
Elder Yi’s gaze darkened and he hurriedly looked at Qin Feiyang, shouting, "He must have slipped away when we weren’t paying attention, erase his soul quickly!"
"He has probably already alerted the Emperor and the State Preceptor; you must leave quickly, or it will be too late."
Lu Xingchen returned to the cell and urged. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Elder Yi waved his arm, and a palm-sized gate of time and space appeared, suspended in the air.
Immediately after.
He pointed his index finger in the air, sending streams of Divine Power surging into it.
The gate of time and space instantly burst with dazzling light!
Swish!
At this moment.
Qin Feiyang finally opened his eyes, two fierce murderous intents shooting out!
Since controlling the commander of the Kylin Army, he had only once peeked into the commander’s thoughts.
Afterward, he hadn’t bothered to look.
Because in his eyes, the commander knew the terror of the Enslavement Mark and likely wouldn’t dare act recklessly.
But he never expected betrayal at such a time!
However.
Just as he was about to erase the commander’s soul, the hallway outside suddenly echoed with steady footsteps.
"Could it be him?"
Everyone was horrified.
"What is destined to come will eventually arrive."
Qin Feiyang took a deep breath and looked toward the doorway.
Everyone gathered together and stared at the door.
The footsteps came closer.
Yet, sensing no aura, it felt like a ghost walking through the corridor.
A few breaths later.
Finally!
An elderly man, seemingly ethereal and immortal, yet devoid of any aura, appeared at the door.
"State Preceptor!"
Instantly.
Everyone’s pupils contracted.
Meanwhile.
The State Preceptor stopped outside, surveying Qin Feiyang and the others, with a radiant smile on his aged face.
"You finally returned, after all."
In the end.
His gaze landed on Qin Feiyang as he chuckled.
"Isn’t this what you wanted?"
Qin Feiyang said.
Seeing the State Preceptor in person, his tension unexpectedly dissipated.
"So, will you hand over Blue Snow and the ancient castle voluntarily, or shall I do it myself?"
The State Preceptor looked at him with a smiling face.
"I want to ask, is it you who wants Blue Snow and the ancient castle, or is it His Majesty?"
The woman in white walked out, stood beside Qin Feiyang, and asked the State Preceptor.
"Greetings, Your Ladyship."
The State Preceptor offered a symbolic bow and said with a smile, "It is both me and His Majesty."
The woman in white raised her eyebrows, saying, "I suspect it’s you who wants it. I demand to see His Majesty."
The State Preceptor shook his head, "His Majesty is accompanying the Little Prince and likely has no time to see you."
"Little Prince?"
The woman in white frowned.
"Mother, don’t you know yet?"
"He and that woman have had another son, named Qin Haotian."
"They even built Bright Sky Palace for this son!"
Qin Feiyang said slowly, eyes filled with deep-seated anger.
"What?"
The woman in white trembled, her somewhat aged face instantly turning pale.
"I instructed everyone to keep this from you, fearing you’d be upset upon hearing about it. Please forgive me, Your Ladyship."
The State Preceptor bowed and said with a smile.
Qin Feiyang worriedly glanced at his mother, then looked at the State Preceptor and shouted, "Stop putting on that deceitful face!"
"It seems you have a significant bias against me!"
"There’s really no need for such animosity."
"Hand over Blue Snow and the ancient castle, and I will immediately seek clemency from His Majesty on your behalf."
"Then not only will your mother be freed, but your friends will also escape the suffering of this divine prison."
The State Preceptor smiled.
"Plead for us?"
"State Preceptor, isn’t that a bit comical?"
"I heard that initially, His Majesty didn’t intend to imprison Her Ladyship in the divine prison."
"It was you who repeatedly urged His Majesty, leading him to do so in the end."
"Additionally, imprisoning us in the divine prison was solely your idea."
"Now you’re using this to play the good guy; isn’t that deceitful?"
"One should possess some integrity, especially when you’re the State Preceptor of the Great Qin Empire, second only to one."
Lu Xingchen said with a faint smile, his lips curling up in mockery.
