Chapter 982 - 937: Key Figure
"Kill me?"
Qin Feiyang frowned.
This Guo Feng is quite bold, actually thinking of eliminating him.
At the same time.
Guo Yun also fell into deep thought upon hearing this.
Moments later.
He looked up at Guo Feng and said in a deep voice, "According to the people from our tower, this Ancestor Mu is quite powerful, and Pei Yi values him greatly. Getting rid of him might not be an easy task."
"Of course, I know that."
"But we can be subtle about it."
Guo Feng said.
"Subtle?"
Guo Yun questioned suspiciously.
Guo Feng said, "In a few days, I’ll invite him to a banquet and show good intentions towards him. Then, I’ll seize the opportunity to poison him at the table."
"Poison?"
"This..."
Guo Yun furrowed his brows tightly.
Guo Feng said, "I know this method is a bit despicable, but against someone like him, it doesn’t matter."
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
Guo Yun looked at him with some hesitation in his eyes.
"I’m sure."
"And I’ve already figured out which poison to use."
Guo Feng nodded.
"What poison?"
Guo Yun asked.
"The venom of the Blood Scorpio!"
Guo Feng enunciated each word slowly, with a chilling glint in his eyes.
Guo Yun’s pupil shrank, displaying great dread towards the venom of the Blood Scorpio.
Following that.
The two conspired for a while longer and then departed separately.
The Snake Emperor asked, "Qin Feiyang, what is this Blood Scorpio?"
Qin Feiyang said, "A terrifying poison from ten thousand years ago."
"How terrifying?"
The Snake Emperor was curious.
Qin Feiyang said, "The Detoxification Pill cannot cleanse it, and if poisoned, death is certain within Three Star!"
"What?"
The Snake Emperor was shocked.
How could there be poison in the world that even the Detoxification Pill cannot neutralize?
The Snake Emperor asked, "What do you plan to do?"
"I originally didn’t want to go against them, but they’re truly tactless, actually planning an ambush against me."
"And using such despicable and malicious means."
"In that case, this time, I’ll eliminate them all and let the Sky Scorpio Tribe completely vanish!"
Qin Feiyang said, his tone filled with a lethal coldness.
The Snake Emperor asked, "So you already have a strategy in mind?"
"No."
Qin Feiyang shook his head.
"Uh!"
The Snake Emperor was dumbfounded.
He hadn’t even figured out a strategy and was already making such bold statements; this seemed a bit laughable!
Qin Feiyang lowered his head and fell into contemplation.
The Snake Emperor wisely remained silent.
Time passed slowly.
After a few hundred breaths, Qin Feiyang’s eyes suddenly flashed with a bright light.
"Thought of something?"
The Snake Emperor hastily asked.
Qin Feiyang nodded, revealing a cold, fierce smile.
With a wave of his hand, Fatty appeared out of nowhere.
The moment Fatty emerged, he impatiently said, "What’s going on? Master Fatty wants to go into seclusion."
Qin Feiyang shook his head and smiled.
It seems after knowing the benefits that Golden Dragon Blood brought him, Fatty also became anxious.
"Finish this task first and then go into seclusion."
Qin Feiyang said.
"What task?"
Fatty asked suspiciously.
Qin Feiyang said, "Help me find a spider called the Blood Soul Spider."
"Blood Soul Spider?"
Fatty paused slightly and asked, "What’s it for?"
Qin Feiyang laughed, "The Blood Soul Spider is also a deadly poison from ten thousand years ago, even stronger than the Blood Scorpio."
Fatty’s pupils contracted as he exclaimed, "What do you want it for?"
Qin Feiyang laughed, "Of course, it’s to neutralize the Blood Scorpio’s venom."
"What do you mean?"
Fatty grew more puzzled the more he listened.
"Although the venoms of the Blood Soul Spider and the Blood Scorpio are deadly, taking both simultaneously can neutralize their toxic effects."
"To put it simply."
"The fusion of these two poisons’ venom is equivalent to an antidote."
Qin Feiyang explained.
"This..."
Fatty and the Snake Emperor exchanged glances; could this be the legendary ’fighting poison with poison’?
Fatty furrowed his brow and said, "So where should Master Fatty go to find this Blood Soul Spider?"
"If I knew, why would I need you to help find it?"
Qin Feiyang rolled his eyes at him.
Fatty pursed his lips and reluctantly said, "Alright, I’ll go ask Li He first."
After speaking, he opened a portal and left.
After the portal dissipated, Qin Feiyang looked at the Snake Emperor and laughed, "Let’s go, let’s find that pivotal person."
"What pivotal person?"
The Snake Emperor questioned curiously.
"Someone powerful enough to crush anyone to pieces."
Qin Feiyang’s eyes twinkled as he changed into clean clothes and then opened another portal.
The Snake Emperor glanced at him in confusion, then shrunk his body, transforming into a streak of light coiling around Qin Feiyang’s index finger.
The skin color also quickly transformed into a silver hue, without a trace of impurity.
At first glance, Qin Feiyang seemed to be wearing an exquisite ring.
Qin Feiyang raised his hand, shook his index finger, and smiled, "Your ability to change colors is indeed impressive."
"Jealous?"
"But this is beyond mere envy."
The Ghost Snake Emperor laughed triumphantly.
Qin Feiyang shook his head with a smile, reined in his aura to the utmost, and entered the teleportation gate.
In the next moment!
He descended onto a bustling street.
On the street, pedestrians hustled and bustled, weaving through the crowd.
Right before him was an elegant inn with a dragon and phoenix motif.
It was the Dragon Phoenix Inn!
Although it was still morning, not quite meal time, many people were coming and going from the inn.
Qin Feiyang tidied his clothes and strode into Dragon Phoenix Inn.
"Young Master Mu, a rare guest indeed!"
"What have you been busy with lately? It’s been so long since you graced us with your presence at Dragon Phoenix Inn."
A waiter immediately approached, nodding and bowing with a smile.
To the staff at Dragon Phoenix Inn, Qin Feiyang was quite familiar.
"Busy cultivating, no time."
Qin Feiyang replied with a faint smile.
The waiter laughed awkwardly, "With such great talent and effort from the young master, it makes us ordinary folks feel ashamed!"
Qin Feiyang chuckled.
The waiter asked, "Will you be sitting in the hall or going to a private chamber?"
"Just in the hall!"
Qin Feiyang replied.
"Certainly, follow me, young master."
The waiter called out, turned, and led Qin Feiyang to an empty table.
In the hall, there were already quite a few customers.
Upon seeing Qin Feiyang, they had a hint of curiosity in their eyes.
During the last Dragon Phoenix Wine auction, Qin Feiyang stood out amongst the competition, earning the top spot, yet he deferred the opportunity to Young Master Hao.
Since then, this event has become the talk of Dragon Phoenix Inn.
So everyone wanted to see, what makes Qin Feiyang so extraordinary?
Through it all, Qin Feiyang remained unfazed.
Sitting at the table, he looked at the waiter and smiled, "A pot of Dragon Wine and some featured snacks, please."
"Sure," the waiter nodded and quickly went to make arrangements.
Qin Feiyang glanced up at the top floor, wondering why there was no music today.
Soon after.
The waiter came over with a pot of Dragon Wine and three dishes of snacks.
Qin Feiyang withdrew his gaze, looking at the waiter, asking, "Why isn’t your lady playing the piano today?"
The waiter realized, "Oh, the young master came for our lady, but it’s not time yet."
"Uh!"
Qin Feiyang was taken aback.
The waiter clearly misunderstood; he was merely inquiring casually.
"Enjoy, young master," the waiter said with a smile after setting the food and wine, then turned and left.
As soon as the waiter left, a young man at the next table glanced at Qin Feiyang and then stood up with his wine pot and cup, walking over to Qin Feiyang and smiling, "Brother Mu, may I sit and chat for a bit?"
Qin Feiyang looked at him skeptically and motioned with a smile, "Sure, please sit."
The young man sat beside Qin Feiyang, pouring wine for him, and said, "Brother Mu, there’s something that’s puzzled me for quite a while."
"What is it?"
Qin Feiyang asked.
The young man finished pouring the wine, then set down the wine pot, and asked softly, "What was the answer you gave last time?"
Qin Feiyang paused, shook his head, and smiled, "It was merely an answer, why so persistent?"
"Perhaps, Brother Mu, it’s just a trivial matter to you, but for us, it’s quite an astounding thing," the young man smiled wryly.
"Indeed, the young lady of Dragon Phoenix Inn, proud yet mysterious."
"Over the years, who knows how many have tried tirelessly to catch a glimpse of her, but were shut out."
"Even Young Master Hao couldn’t win her over."
"So gaining her approval isn’t an easy feat."
Nearby guests couldn’t help but express their admiration.
Qin Feiyang surveyed them, a hint of disdain deep in his eyes.
For just one woman, was this necessary?
He couldn’t fathom what occupied these people’s minds all day long.
The young man lowered his cup, earnestly clasping his hands, "Brother Mu, we truly hope you can enlighten us on this matter."
Qin Feiyang smiled faintly, "It’s no secret; telling you is no issue. The answer I gave was ’Since ancient times, all kings are faithless, the imperial family is the most heartless.’
"Since ancient times, all kings are faithless, the imperial family is the most heartless..."
Everyone immediately contemplated.
They remembered that painting from before, with mountains and earth, common folks, beasts, and slaughter...
And in the sky, a five-clawed Golden Dragon hovered, coldly overlooking it all...
"I see."
"The five-clawed Golden Dragon has always symbolized kings..."
"So that five-clawed Golden Dragon represents the royalty..."
"While the mountains, earth, common people, and slaughter represent the world."
"That five-clawed Golden Dragon in the sky, the cold gaze over it all, reflects two words: heartless."
"’Since ancient times, all kings are faithless, the imperial family is the most heartless,’ this phrase precisely explains the true essence of that painting!"
"Brother Mu is truly wise to have come up with this answer, I admire you," the young man clasped his hands and smiled.
The others nodded in understanding, many looking at Qin Feiyang with admiration.
Qin Feiyang shook his head with a smile.
He didn’t expect a single answer could cause such a stir.
He raised his cup, ready to drink, but just then, a cheerful laugh echoed from outside the door.
"Ha ha."
"What’s going on today, such liveliness so early?"
Before the voice faded.
A well-dressed young man entered Dragon Phoenix Inn.
Behind him followed a large group of young men and women.
The men were handsome, and the women youthful and beautiful, all wearing elegant attire, exuding extraordinary presence.
