Immortal God of War

Chapter 610 - 594: Tan Wu of Crane Province, A Prey? _1

A moment later.

Qin Feiyang, with practiced ease, climbed to the peak of the mountain on the left side of the canyon. Looking down, he immediately furrowed his eyebrows.

Wan Chou, Fenghuo, and the others were all currently in the canyon, still recuperating with their eyes closed. However, they were positioned very close to each other; no one was isolated.

Dongfang Wuheng, standing behind Qin Feiyang, peeked down and frowned. "I’m afraid there’s no opportunity."

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This way, they wouldn’t have to clash with the people from the two major states.

However, Qin Feiyang remained silent. This, in turn, made Dongfang Wuheng and his companion anxious, fearing Qin Feiyang might impulsively rush down.

Suddenly, Qin Feiyang waved his hand, and Dong Zhengyang, Shen Long, and Jian Wei appeared. Qin Feiyang then said, "All of you, help me take a look. Is there any opportunity at all?"

The three looked down and immediately furrowed their brows.

Dong Zhengyang said, "An opportunity definitely exists, but it requires taking a risk."

Qin Feiyang’s eyes flickered. "Continue."

"From the current situation, we definitely don’t have a chance for a direct assault. But we can create an opportunity," Dong Zhengyang explained. "We could first use one person as bait to lure some of them away. The remaining individuals would naturally be easier to deal with. After all, our current strength isn’t weak either. But the risk lies with their two-star War Ancestor, as we don’t have anyone here who can contend with someone of that level. Honestly, I don’t support this approach."

Shen Long then asked, "Qin Feiyang, back in Yun State, how did you kill that two-star War Ancestor Commander?"

Qin Feiyang replied, "By catching him off guard."

"In other words, you aren’t confident either. This is too risky. I suggest we give up!" Shen Long advised.

The light in Qin Feiyang’s eyes flickered uncertainly.

It wasn’t that he lacked confidence. On the contrary, he was fully confident he could wipe out both You State and Void State right here. His confidence stemmed from the five rib bones! The power of the rib bones was beyond imagination, making their wielder nearly invincible against those of the same cultivation realm. If Dong Zhengyang and the others had them, killing the one-star War Ancestors from the two states would be as easy as chopping vegetables. Even Wan Chou and the twin sisters would likely be no match for them.

But Qin Feiyang had to be wary. What if Dong Zhengyang and the others obtained the rib bones and refused to return them? If it were Fatty and his group, he would trust them unconditionally. But Dong Zhengyang and these individuals? Were any of them easy to deal with? If it really came to that, all he could do would be to stare helplessly. Because with the rib bones in their possession, given his current strength, he would be no match for them.

So, after mulling it over, Qin Feiyang abandoned the idea.

"Phew!" He let out a long breath, retracting his gaze. He nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll listen to you all. Let them live a little longer."

With that, he led Dong Zhengyang, Shen Long, and Jian Wei into the ancient castle to cultivate in seclusion, awaiting the Wolf King’s emergence. Once the Wolf King emerged from seclusion, all potential threats would vanish.

「Three days later.」

Wan Chou and the others also opened their eyes. Not lingering any longer, they headed for the depths of the Dead Marsh.

「Sometime later, in the southern part of the Dead Marsh」

A group of youths dressed in white walked into a jungle. There were over twenty of them; the men were handsome and charming, and the women possessed beauty like flowers and the moon. However, they were covered in dirt and looked somewhat dishevelled.

"Help me!"

Suddenly, a scout walking ahead stepped on a pile of dead leaves and immediately began sinking into the ground. He stretched out his hand in terror, crying out to the twenty-odd people behind him.

The one leading them was a young man with azure hair that flowed like a waterfall, and his eyes, like the deep blue sea, exuded an air of unfathomable depth. This young man was also exceptionally handsome. He stood about 1.8 meters tall, with an imposing figure, clad in a white robe, a fiery red Jade Pendant fastened at his waist. He exuded an extraordinary aura.

Hearing the scout’s cry for help, this young man swooped forward like lightning, reaching out to grab the scout’s arm and swiftly pulling him out. The rescued man was now covered in mud. Looking at the place where he had been trapped, it was revealed to be a quagmire.

Having narrowly escaped death, the man patted his chest, his fear still palpable. He looked at the young man and said, "Thank you, Elder Brother Ling."

The young man named Elder Brother Ling waved his hand and smiled. "It’s nothing. Just be careful next time."

The man nodded. "Yes." He then bypassed the quagmire and continued scouting ahead.

Elder Brother Ling turned to the people behind him and cautioned, "Everyone, we have now ventured deep into the Dead Marsh. Dangers can lurk anywhere, and quagmires are all around. We must proceed with utmost caution."

Someone immediately declared, "As long as Elder Brother Ling is here, we’re not afraid of any danger!"

The others also looked at Elder Brother Ling with admiration.

Elder Brother Ling chuckled, waved his hand, and said, "Let’s keep moving!"

"Alright!" the group responded enthusiastically and followed the scout, advancing in an orderly fashion.

A young woman in a white dress walked up beside Elder Brother Ling and stopped. She asked, "Do you think they will come?"

Though her features were ordinary, the woman possessed an outstanding temperament. Among the crowd, she stood out like a crane among chickens, impossible to ignore. A fiery red Jade Pendant also hung at her waist.

"They will," Elder Brother Ling nodded.

The woman said softly, "After all these years apart, I really hope to see them soon."

"Don’t worry, we’ll see them soon," Elder Brother Ling said, looking up at the blood-red sky. He seemed to be reminiscing about something pleasant, a smile gradually spreading across his face.
