Immortal God of War

Chapter 654 - 628 - I owe you a favor_1

Blood stained the face of the man in the black robe, but Qin Feiyang recognized him at a glance.

It was Lu Xingchen!

"I don’t understand. You’re clearly a Seven-star War Emperor, so why is your aura so strong?"

"You’re even stronger than me."

Qin Feiyang frowned, also communicating via secret transmission.

Lu Xingchen shook his head. "Some things are better left unknown."

Qin Feiyang asked, "Will it cause trouble?"

"Who knows?"

Lu Xingchen showed a faint smile, seemingly unconcerned about Qin Feiyang discovering his identity.

Qin Feiyang asked, "Then why are you helping the people from Void State and You State?"

First, setting aside the grudges Wan Chou and the others have with everyone, just consider the threat these few pose.

It could be said that in this war of the Nine States, Wan Chou and his group are among the strongest competitors.

Of course, one could also say these few are obstacles to everyone entering the Imperial Capital.

Lu Xingchen... it’s impossible that he hasn’t thought about this.

Logically, they should be eliminated immediately. But now, he’s actually saving them? Why on earth?

To say Lu Xingchen doesn’t want to enter the Imperial Capital... that’s absolutely impossible.

Because if he didn’t want to go, there’d be no need for him to participate in the war of the Nine States. This whole thing is very strange.

Lu Xingchen remained silent for a moment, took out a healing pill, and tossed it into his mouth. Then, he wiped the blood from his face. With a hidden smile, he transmitted, "I have my reasons for doing this. As for the reason, I can’t tell you yet."

Qin Feiyang frowned. "Are you so fearless?"

The impression Lu Xingchen gave him now was that I wouldn’t act, nor would I expose what he had done.

He couldn’t understand where Lu Xingchen got this confidence from.

Lu Xingchen transmitted, "I’m not fearless. We need each other."

"Hmm?"

Qin Feiyang raised an eyebrow. What does this mean?

Lu Xingchen transmitted, "Do I need to spell it out for you?"

"Go on, tell me."

Truth be told, Qin Feiyang really wanted to know. It felt as if Lu Xingchen held some leverage over him.

But he hadn’t done anything shameful, had he?

Lu Xingchen transmitted, "Firstly, I am a Three Star War Ancestor. I’ve also mastered a perfect killing Battle Art and a perfect auxiliary Battle Art. Furthermore, I possess a spatial divine artifact. You can’t kill me."

"What?"

Qin Feiyang’s eyes quivered, and tumultuous waves of shock surged through his heart.

Lu Xingchen suppressed a smile and continued transmitting, "Secondly, and most importantly, I know your true identity: the Prince of the Great Qin Empire."

BOOM!

Hearing these words, Qin Feiyang felt as if he’d been struck by lightning; his mind reeled.

He had always kept his true identity strictly secret.

Aside from Fatty, Wolf King, the Mountain Beast, and Lu Hong, even Lin Yiyi, Lo Qianxue, and Ren Wushuang—those closest to him—did not know.

So how could Lu Xingchen know?

Had someone leaked it to him?

But was that even possible?

After all, Fatty, Lu Hong, Wolf King, and the Mountain Beast were all people he trusted most—people he could trust unconditionally.

They would never leak his secrets. It was absolutely impossible.

Lu Xingchen transmitted with a chuckle, "Are you surprised? To be honest, I’ve always wondered why a dignified prince would end up in a small town in our Spirit State."

Qin Feiyang asked gravely, "What else do you know?"

Lu Xingchen smiled and transmitted, "Apart from your identity, I truly don’t know anything else. If you can resolve the doubts in my mind, I would be more than happy to listen."

Qin Feiyang asked, "When did you find out?"

"A long time ago."

Lu Xingchen chuckled, his reply vague.

Qin Feiyang fell silent, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

"Don’t think about silencing me; you’re not capable of that yet," Lu Xingchen transmitted.

"Of course, with your talent, you might be in the future. But for now, you’d best be honest.

"Don’t misunderstand. I’m not threatening you. On the contrary, I intend to help you."

"Help me?" Qin Feiyang frowned.

Lu Xingchen transmitted, "Although I don’t know why you left the Imperial Capital, I can guess that there must have been compelling reasons."

A flash of light darted across Qin Feiyang’s eyes. He transmitted, "Go on."

"The day you return to the Imperial Capital, I predict that the Capital will be hit by an unprecedented storm because of your arrival," Lu Xingchen transmitted.

"At that time, as long as you, Qin Feiyang, say the word, I, Lu Xingchen, will support you fully. Even if your opponent is the current nobles, or even the current emperor, I will not retreat even a Half-Step," his tone firm and decisive.

Qin Feiyang’s heart was once again shocked. Wasn’t Lu Xingchen’s courage simply too astounding?

He pondered for a moment.

Qin Feiyang shook his head and transmitted, "I don’t believe good things simply fall from the sky. Tell me your objective!"

Lu Xingchen laughed and transmitted, "My objective? You’ll know in the future. But that’s secondary. The main reason I’m helping you is to repay a debt."

"Repay me?"

Qin Feiyang frowned.

What was this all about?

"Because I owe you a favor, and I’m the kind of person who hates owing others, especially you, Qin Feiyang," Lu Xingchen transmitted with a faint smile.

Qin Feiyang was confused, truly and utterly confused. He couldn’t even maintain his composure.

Because from the very beginning, there had only ever been enmity between him and Lu Xingchen, only resentment. Where could this ’favor’ have possibly come from?

"Some things may confuse you now, but when the time comes, everything will be clear," Lu Xingchen transmitted.

"Now, tell me, what is your choice?"

I must stay calm...

Qin Feiyang closed his eyes, struggling to compose himself.
