Immortal God of War
"If you don’t believe it, see for yourself."
Zhuge Mingyang turned the Image Crystal Stone towards Qin Feiyang and the others.
Seeing that stone door, the Great Commander’s pupils constricted. "Give me the coordinates, quickly."
"Alright."
Zhuge Mingyang nodded.
Qin Feiyang and the others watched the exchange between Zhuge Mingyang and the Great Commander.
Mu Qing anxiously said, "Qin Feiyang, is there anyone else in your ancient castle?"
Just Zhuge Mingyang alone had rendered them completely defenseless. If the Great Commander joined him, their chances of survival were slim!
"No."
Qin Feiyang shook his head.
"We’re doomed," Mu Qing said, his eyes filled with despair. "With our current cultivation, I’m afraid we won’t be able to reactivate the Temporal Door. We might even have our lifeblood completely drained by the Temporal Door, leading to our deaths."
"What’s the use of saying that now?" Qin Feiyang said in a low voice. "We all need to push harder. Otherwise, we’ll die at the Great Commander’s hands before the Temporal Door even finishes draining our lifeblood."
A Holy Artifact, comparable to a Nine-Star War Saint, required an immense amount of Battle Intent and lifeblood to reactivate! To Qin Feiyang and the others at their current level, a Nine-Star War Saint was an invincible existence. Therefore, their attempt to reactivate the Temporal Door now was essentially digging their own graves.
At that moment, Qin Feiyang, Fatty, and the others were reduced to skin and bones, their lives hanging by a thread.
To make matters worse, the Great Commander arrived with a troop of black-armored guards! Each of these guards possessed cultivation comparable to Zhuge Mingyang’s, and there were fifty to sixty of them!
"So, it really is a Holy Artifact!" As soon as the Great Commander appeared and sensed the aura emanating from the Temporal Door, a look of terror spread across his face.
Zhuge Mingyang asked, "Is there any way to stop them?"
The Great Commander shook his head. "Not with my current strength. I need to summon the Great Commander of the Kylin Army."
With that, the Great Commander of the Ironclad Army took out an Image Crystal Stone.
The Great Commander of the Kylin Army!
Qin Feiyang’s gaze flickered, and he looked gloomily at Mu Qing. "You’ve really landed us in deep trouble this time!"
Mu Qing’s face also wore an expression of bitterness and helplessness.
If he’d had any other choice, he wouldn’t have tried to reactivate the Temporal Door!
Fatty asked, "Boss, is the Great Commander of the Kylin Army very strong?"
"Extremely strong!" Qin Feiyang said. "I don’t know exactly how strong, but one can imagine. Since the Great Commander of the Ironclad Army is seeking his help, his cultivation must have reached the Nine-Star War Saint level, or even higher. Only beings at that level have the power to contend with a Holy Artifact!"
A Nine-Star War Saint, or even higher!
Fatty and the others trembled in body and soul.
If this person came, wouldn’t they be utterly doomed?
"What is the matter?"
Just then, an authoritative voice resonated through the void, reverberating like a booming gong, deafeningly loud!
Qin Feiyang and the others looked up and saw a burly man standing above the Image Crystal Stone of the Great Commander of the Ironclad Army. This man was eight feet tall, built like a small giant. His upper body was bare, revealing well-developed chest muscles. His long, fiery red hair danced wildly behind him, and he exuded an overwhelmingly wild aura.
"Come to the Black Dragon Pond at once! Qin Feiyang has a Holy Artifact in his possession," the Great Commander of the Ironclad Army said, relaying the coordinates to the burly man.
"A Holy Artifact!"
The burly man’s gaze flickered. He immediately opened a portal and descended upon the location.
"This aura..." he murmured, looking at the Temporal Door with astonishment. His eyes suddenly blazed with light as he exclaimed excitedly, "It really is a Holy Artifact!"
Seeing the Great Commander of the Kylin Army arrive, Zhuge Mingyang breathed a sigh of relief and cupped his hands in a salute. "Great Commander, we cannot let Qin Feiyang escape."
"Now that I am here, he couldn’t escape even if he sprouted wings," the burly man declared with an arrogant laugh. With a sweep of his massive hand, a terrifying Battle Intent surged forth, rushing towards Qin Feiyang and the others!
Wherever it passed, the void distorted violently, threatening to shatter.
Seeing this, Fatty’s expression changed drastically. He roared anxiously, "Quick, think of something!"
The void itself was on the verge of shattering; one could only imagine how terrifyingly lethal that Battle Intent was! If they were engulfed by it, they would undoubtedly be pulverized in an instant!
"There’s no other way. We’ll have to hide in the ancient castle for now," Qin Feiyang said gravely.
Normally, the ancient castle would be the best refuge. But things were different now. If they entered the ancient castle, they would be like turtles in a jar, completely trapped. This was because once they were inside, Zhuge Mingyang and the others would undoubtedly summon the State Preceptor immediately. The ancient castle could evade the searches of others, but not the State Preceptor’s Divine Sense. At that point, death would be their only path. However, there were no other options left.
"Are we really just going to wait for death?" Wolf King roared at the sky, his eyes filled with unwillingness.
"Sigh!" Qin Feiyang sighed deeply.
They were truly at a dead end this time. And Zhuge Mingyang was the cause of it all!
WHOOSH!
He looked up, glaring at Zhuge Mingyang. "If I survive this, I will definitely come back to settle this score with you!"
"Worry about surviving first," Zhuge Mingyang sneered.
A cold glint flashed in Qin Feiyang’s eyes, and he prepared to take everyone into the ancient castle.
But just at that moment—
BOOM!
A radiant Battle Intent descended from the sky, pouring into the Temporal Door.
CLANG!
In an instant, the Temporal Door swelled to over thirty meters in height. Its entire form blazed with a blood-red light, releasing a world-shattering aura. Simultaneously, the Temporal Door also stopped draining the lifeblood from Qin Feiyang and the others.
"It reactivated?" Mu Qing looked somewhat dazed.
"Who is it?!" At the same time, the Great Commander of the Kylin Army bellowed, his gaze sweeping the sky above.
Qin Feiyang and the others also looked up, spotting a blurred figure standing amidst the clouds.
"Who is that?" Fatty asked, surprised and doubtful. "Why are they helping us?"
Qin Feiyang shook his head. "I can’t see clearly."
"Never mind who it is, let’s go, quickly!" Mu Qing snapped back to his senses. He hastily clutched Mu Xue’er and shot through the Temporal Door without a backward glance.
"Go!" Qin Feiyang jolted, then immediately led Fatty and the others, darting swiftly towards it.
Once the entire group had entered the Temporal Door, accompanied by a loud CLANG, it rapidly shrank and then vanished into the void.
"Damn it!"
The two Great Commanders were infuriated. Filled with intense killing intent, they simultaneously charged towards the clouds.
However, before they could even get close, the figure standing amidst the clouds abruptly vanished from their sight without a trace.
"Who in the blazes are you?!"
"Get out here and face this Commander!"
The two men stood high in the sky, roaring repeatedly. Their auras surged like a torrent, crashing outwards in all directions.
But even after a long while, the figure did not reappear, and no one answered them.
Below, Zhuge Mingyang’s expression was incredibly dark.
He had thought Qin Feiyang was doomed this time, but unexpectedly, a mysterious person had appeared at the critical moment. Even the two Great Commanders couldn’t discern the stranger’s true appearance, which showed just how formidable this mysterious individual must be. He couldn’t understand it. What on earth had Qin Feiyang done over the years to have such a terrifyingly powerful expert backing him?
「Over a certain mountain range.」
SWOOSH!!!
Figures appeared one after another out of thin air. It was Qin Feiyang and the others!
"Where are we?" they asked, surveying their surroundings with surprise and doubt.
The mountain range was vast and boundless, filled with lush ancient trees and overgrown with tangled vines. In the mountain ravines, they could sense the auras of countless fierce beasts. However, these beasts’ auras weren’t particularly strong, mostly between the War Emperor and War Ancestor ranks.
"Why does this place look somewhat familiar?" the Wolf King muttered.
CLANG!
The Temporal Door also emerged from the void after them, hovering in front of Mu Qing.
Mu Qing waved his hand, and the Temporal Door shot into the space between his eyebrows. He then looked at Mu Xue’er in his arms, his eyes filled with undispellable grief and rage. Qin Feiyang glanced at Mu Qing before surveying the mountain range below once more.
He sympathized with Mu Xue’er’s plight but felt no sorrow for her, as their relationship had always been adversarial.
The Wolf King suddenly exclaimed, "I remember now! This is a deep mountain range outside the State City."
Fatty’s eyes lit up. "That’s right, that’s right! Master Fatty remembers too! Brother Wolf and I came here when we were looking for the Lion Headed Hawk and the Blood Eagle."
Qin Feiyang asked, "So, this is Spirit State?"
Fatty and the Wolf King nodded.
A flicker of disbelief appeared in Qin Feiyang’s eyes as he turned his gaze to Mu Qing. But Mu Qing remained with his head bowed, staring blankly at Mu Xue’er, completely disheartened.
The Wolf King suggested, "Why don’t we visit the Holy Temple first?"
"We can’t." Qin Feiyang shook his head.
Zhuge Mingyang had previously overheard their plans to leave the Imperial Capital. Now that they had successfully escaped, Spirit State would be the first place Zhuge Mingyang and the others would suspect, especially since he used to live here. If they went to the Holy Temple now, and people from the Imperial Capital came to investigate, not only would their whereabouts be exposed, but those connected to him would also be implicated. Therefore, it was best not to show themselves in public, or even let anyone know he had returned.
"So, where are we going now?" Lu Hong asked.
"I don’t know either." Qin Feiyang shook his head. "I need to think carefully. You all go to the ancient castle to cultivate."
Fatty and the others nodded.
They had originally been quite proud of their current cultivation levels. However, after witnessing the power of those in the Imperial Capital—especially the State Preceptor, before whom they lacked even the courage to fight, feeling only helplessness and despair—they knew they had to seize every moment to increase their strength.
Qin Feiyang waved his hand, sending everyone into the ancient castle. Then he looked at Mu Qing and said, "The dead cannot be revived. Please try to manage your grief."
Mu Qing suddenly lifted his head, glaring furiously at Qin Feiyang and roaring, "This is all your fault! If it weren’t for you, Xue’er wouldn’t have died!"
Qin Feiyang raised an eyebrow. "What does that have to do with me? You chose to follow me."
"If it weren’t for Lu Xingchen’s instructions, do you think I would follow you?" Mu Qing scoffed.
"Instructions?" Qin Feiyang frowned. "What did Lu Xingchen instruct you to do? And what is your relationship with him?"
"He instructed me to help you leave the Imperial Capital. As for my relationship with him, that’s none of your concern."
After speaking, Mu Qing lowered his head to look at Mu Xue’er again. A tender, doting smile appeared on his face as he whispered, "Xue’er, don’t worry. Your brother will take you home soon."
With that, he took out two Restoration Pills from his Qiankun Bag. He placed one into Mu Xue’er’s mouth and swallowed the other himself.
