Immortal God of War

Chapter 660 - 632 Unwilling to be Suppressed_1

Auxiliary battle mantras, slaughter battle mantras—all on a perfect level.

What on earth is this woman’s background?

Wolf King suddenly transmitted a message, "Xiao Qinzi, are there many perfect battle mantras in the Imperial Capital?"

Qin Feiyang paused slightly, frowning. "You suspect she’s from the Imperial Capital?"

"Well then, what other explanation is there?" Wolf King questioned.

Qin Feiyang replied via transmission, "It’s true that the Imperial Capital has many perfect battle mantras, but we can’t conclude she’s from there based on that alone."

"Why?" Wolf King was puzzled.

Qin Feiyang continued his transmission, "If she’s from the Imperial Capital, why would she be in Feng Province, and why participate in the Nine States War? Besides, just because the Nine States lack perfect battle mantras doesn’t mean other places don’t. Take places like the Land of Oblivion, for example."

Wolf King nodded imperceptibly. What Qin Feiyang had said was indeed reasonable.

WHOOSH!

Just then, a sound of something cutting through the air resonated.

Everyone looked up to see a young man in white emerging rapidly from the jungle on the other side—it was Lu Xingchen.

"Huh?" Fatty and the others were shocked. When did Lu Xingchen leave?

"You guys are really careless." Qin Feiyang rolled his eyes at them. The man slipped away right under their noses, and they only just realized it.

However, their carelessness had also allowed him to realize that Lu Xingchen was the mysterious person.

Soon, Lu Xingchen reached them and asked cheerfully, "Is it over? What was the outcome?"

Qin Feiyang looked at Lu Xingchen coldly and said, "The outcome was that the mysterious person interfered again."

Lu Xingchen’s expression turned a little awkward. "It seems this mysterious person has been watching us closely all along!"

"HUMPH. He’d better not let me catch him." Wolf King snorted coldly, then said gruffly, "Where did you just go? The mysterious person appeared twice, and both times you inexplicably disappeared. Is that supposed to be a coincidence?"

"Earlier, I thought I saw a figure flash by in the jungle over there, so I went to check. It turned out my eyes were playing tricks on me," Lu Xingchen said, shaking his head with a laugh.

"A figure?" Everyone was surprised.

Fatty frowned. "Then why didn’t you tell us?"

Lu Xingchen replied, "I was afraid of startling our prey, wasn’t I?"

"You’re quite bold. If a truly powerful expert had been lurking there, with your Seven-star War Emperor strength, you’d likely be dead with no place for burial by now," Wolf King sneered.

"Even if there was someone, they wouldn’t have dared to make a move. After all, you were all nearby. They’d know you would detect any disturbance immediately," Lu Xingchen laughed.

Fatty and the others remained somewhat suspicious; it was all too coincidental to be easily believed.

"Alright," Qin Feiyang said. "Enough idle talk. Let’s get going."

Lu Xingchen glanced gratefully at Qin Feiyang and suggested with a smile, "Let’s have the Alligator King carry us. We can cultivate along the way."

Qin Feiyang nodded.

The group hopped onto the Alligator King’s back one after another. At Lu Xingchen’s command, the Alligator King sprinted off into the depths of the forest.

Qin Feiyang stood at the very front, hands clasped behind his back, gazing into the deep jungle. His dark eyes seemed unfathomably deep.

Lu Xingchen glanced at Qin Feiyang’s back, walked over to his side, and transmitted, "Is there nothing you want to ask me?"

Qin Feiyang replied via transmission, "If I asked, would you answer?"

"No, I wouldn’t," Lu Xingchen shook his head.

"Then is there any need for me to ask?" Qin Feiyang transmitted. "However, just because I don’t ask doesn’t mean I’m not concerned. I can’t control what you do, but you absolutely must not do anything to harm us."

"Rest assured, I know my limits," Lu Xingchen nodded.

"You’d better," Qin Feiyang said, giving him a meaningful look. He then turned to Fatty and Wolf King. "I’m going to the ancient castle for a bit. You two continue cultivating out here."

"Mmm," the man and beast nodded.

They knew Qin Feiyang’s purpose in going to the ancient castle.

The Elixir Scripture!

The Six-Character Mantra!

Because he had broken through to the War Ancestor realm, Qin Feiyang could now access the next page of both the Elixir Scripture and the Six-Character Mantra.

WHOOSH!

Qin Feiyang flickered and vanished without a trace.

The now-exposed ancient castle landed on the Alligator King’s back, continuing to move forward with the beast.

「Inside the ancient castle!」

"Brother Qin, who on earth is that mysterious person?"

As soon as Qin Feiyang entered, Shen Long and the others surrounded him, their eyes filled with shock and suspicion.

"I don’t know either," Qin Feiyang shook his head.

"You don’t know?" Everyone was stunned.

Jian Wei asked, puzzled, "Then why did you say earlier that you knew who he was?"

"I did see him, but he was wearing a mask. When I said that, I was actually trying to bluff him, but he didn’t fall for it," Qin Feiyang replied, his expression somewhat helpless.

He had guessed they would ask, so he had already prepared this answer.

"Ah, so that’s how it was." Everyone had a moment of realization.

Qin Feiyang looked up at the iron box on the altar, then turned to the crowd and said, "We’ve left the swamp now. During this period of cultivation, everyone’s strength has improved. You can’t stay cooped up in here forever."

A chill ran down everyone’s spine. Qin Feiyang was clearly telling them it was time to leave.

The crucial point was that the outside world was too dangerous, and many didn’t want to leave.

Shen Long said, "Brother Qin is right. If we just hide here all the time, what’s the point of coming to the Netherworld?"

Wu Yan snorted coldly, "You’re a one-star War Ancestor now, so of course, you can say that. But we’re all War Emperors. Going out there is simply courting death!"

Xui Yang said with a fawning smile, "Senior Brother Qin, why not do us a favor and help everyone break through to the War Ancestor realm?"

At these words, the eyes of everyone who hadn’t yet broken through to the War Ancestor realm couldn’t help but gleam with avarice.

Qin Feiyang glanced at the two and said, "If I don’t help you, are you planning to just stay here indefinitely and refuse to leave?"

"We wouldn’t dare! We wouldn’t dare!" Wu Yan and the others hurriedly waved their hands, their faces etched with terror.

"I see that’s exactly what you were thinking," Qin Feiyang said. "Let me offer some friendly advice: don’t be so insatiable. Bringing you here safely was already the extent of my benevolence. And let me add one more thing: I’m not *asking* you to leave. I’m *throwing* you out."

True to his word, Qin Feiyang then proceeded to throw Wu Yan and the others out.

In the blink of an eye, only Lu Hong, Ren Wushuang, Shen Long, Jian Wei, and Shen Mei remained in the ancient castle.

"SIGH. I truly feel sorry for those people," Shen Long sighed.

"It can’t be helped; such is human nature." Qin Feiyang smiled faintly and instructed, "Ren Wushuang is at a critical juncture in her breakthrough, so let her stay in the ancient castle for now. After you three leave, keep an eye on Dongfang Wuheng and Murong Xiong’s movements."

The three nodded.

With a wave of his hand, Qin Feiyang sent the three of them out of the ancient castle, then turned and walked towards the altar.

Just then, Lu Hong opened her eyes and asked, "Qin Feiyang, do you really not know who that mysterious person is?"

Without turning his head, Qin Feiyang replied, "I know. It’s Lu Xingchen."

"It’s actually him!" Lu Hong’s gaze flickered.

Simultaneously, Ren Wushuang, Lin Yiyi, Lo Qianxue, and the burrowing beast also opened their eyes, their hearts filled with utter disbelief.

Qin Feiyang said, "This person is no simple character. You all must be doubly careful when dealing with him in the future."

They nodded.

Then, without asking any further questions, they closed their eyes and resumed their cultivation.

Qin Feiyang also pricked his finger, squeezed out a drop of blood, opened the iron box, and took out both the Elixir Scripture and the Qiankun Bag. He then began to flip through the Six-Character Mantra.

As he turned to the third page, a terrifying, murderous aura instantly surged forth like a tidal wave.

On the page was a single, large character—powerful, vigorous, and radiating a chilling killing intent!

「Meanwhile!」

After separating from Qin Feiyang and the others, the woman from Feng Province headed straight south.

A few hundred breaths later, she stopped before a mountain peak that was thousands of feet high. She looked up at the summit, then flitted towards it.

And on the summit, at the edge of a cliff, another woman in white stood facing the wind. Her features were not particularly striking, but she possessed a very unique temperament.

Upon reaching the summit, the woman who had fought Wan Chou ran towards the woman at the cliff’s edge, laughing, "I’m back!"

The woman in white turned around and asked with concern, "How did it go? Are you injured?"

"How could I possibly get injured?" the woman scoffed, her demeanor quite arrogant. "If it weren’t for Qin Feiyang and Wolf King coming to join the fray, not a single person from You State and Void State would have escaped alive."

"I know you’re formidable." The woman in white smiled and asked, "Did Qin Feiyang recognize you?"

"No," the first woman replied. "But he did ask for my name."

"And how did you answer?" the woman in white inquired.

"I didn’t say anything, of course! Don’t worry, I won’t leave any openings," the first woman said with a playful smile. "Besides, even if I did slip up, he wouldn’t be able to guess who I am. So many years have passed, after all."

The woman in white shook her head. "It’s not that I’m worried, but that esteemed elder is. It’s best to be more careful in your actions from now on. Qin Feiyang’s perceptiveness is quite frightening. If you reveal too many openings, he’ll eventually notice."

"Alright, I’ll do my best to be more careful in the future," the other woman nodded.

「Meanwhile, deep within a forest.」

Wan Chou was sitting cross-legged on a black rock, recuperating from his injuries, while Fenghuo and his three companions stood guard nearby.

Suddenly, Fenghuo furrowed his brow and asked, "Wan Chou, did that woman tell you why she attacked you?"

Wan Chou opened his eyes and said, "She wasn’t targeting just me; she was targeting all of us."

"What?" The four were shocked.

"That’s what she personally told me via voice transmission. After she killed me, she would kill all of you too," Wan Chou said solemnly. "The reason? We’ve provoked a man we absolutely cannot afford to offend."

"A man we cannot afford to offend?" The four frowned.

Wan Chou continued, "My guess is that this man is someone from Spirit State."

"What makes you say that?" the four asked in surprise.

Wan Chou explained, "Because since arriving in the Netherworld, the only people we’ve made enemies with are from Spirit State."

The four nodded. Indeed, that was true. But who on earth could it be?

Fengg Wuxie suddenly raised an eyebrow and said, "Could it be... Qin Feiyang?"

Fenghuo shook his head. "It’s hard to say. After all, Qin Feiyang isn’t the only man from Spirit State."

"Stop the wild guessing," the Xuening sisters said. "The truth will come out eventually. Our priority now is to figure out how to avoid these people."

"Yes, judging by what happened earlier, the people from Spirit State definitely want to kill us. It wouldn’t have mattered much before, but now..." Fenghuo trailed off, heaving a long sigh.

Truthfully, he deeply regretted provoking that group of fiends from Spirit State.

Wan Chou and the others also fell silent. The current Spirit State was a far cry from what it once was; they were no longer an entity these people could hope to challenge.

PHEW! Fenghuo exhaled deeply and said, "How about this: we find a place to hide for now. Let Qin Feiyang and his group go on ahead. Once they’ve passed, we’ll continue our journey. And if we encounter them again, we’ll do our best to go around them."

"Hide?"

Hearing this, Wan Chou and the others’ eyes instantly turned red with suppressed fury.

For Heaven’s favored children like them, such an action was undoubtedly a monumental humiliation.

Yet, despite the myriad feelings of unwillingness, anger, and frustration in their hearts, reality was laid bare before them. Whether they wanted to or not, they had to comply.
