Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Black Bear King’s Unusual Behavior_1

Fatty took out the Image Crystal Stone, and immediately, Chief Li’s virtual image appeared.

"Is there some good news again?" Fatty chuckled.

"Indeed, it’s good news." Chief Li nodded, asking, "Where is Jian Haotian?"

"Boss, hold on a moment, Chief Li is looking for you." Fatty hastily grabbed the Image Crystal Stone and rushed after Qin Feiyang.

After catching up, Qin Feiyang looked at the phantom, smiling. "Is there something you need, Senior?"

Chief Li said, "Brother Jian, one of my subordinates just reported finding a Nine Suns Flower in a certain location."

"Where?" Qin Feiyang exclaimed joyfully.

"Black Bear City," Chief Li revealed.

"Black Bear City?" Qin Feiyang was taken aback.

Fatty also looked somewhat stunned.

"Are you surprised? They say that Nine Suns Flower is in the deepest part of Black Bear Mountain," Chief Li said with a laugh.

Qin Feiyang shook his head and forced a smile. He wasn’t just ordinarily surprised; he was extremely surprised. He asked, "Senior, are you sure it’s in Black Bear Mountain?"

"Certain," Chief Li nodded.

Qin Feiyang asked, "When can the people from the Treasure Pavilion in Black Bear City deliver it?"

Chief Li pondered for a moment. "It’s said there’s a rather powerful Bear King in Black Bear Mountain. I’ll have to send someone, which should take about a day."

Qin Feiyang nodded and said with a cupped fist salute, "Please, Senior, do not harm the Bear King."

Chief Li asked, "Why? Do you know it?"

"Mm, it saved my life..."

"Never mind, I’ll go too!" Qin Feiyang said, a little worried.

He understood the Black Bear Mountain King’s temperament. If a disagreement led to a full-blown fight with the people from Treasure Pavilion, he would feel guilty if any accident occurred.

Moreover, he had another very important matter to attend to. This matter could directly impact the situation ten days from now!

"Alright then. Be careful. I’ll go check on the Lin family and the royal family," Chief Li said with a smile.

To think he’d personally make a trip for a mere savage beast. This young man was indeed a person of loyalty and righteousness.

What he didn’t know was that the Bear King had saved Qin Feiyang not just once, but several times. This was a debt of gratitude Qin Feiyang would never forget for the rest of his life.

After deactivating the Image Crystal Stone, Qin Feiyang returned to the Law Enforcement Hall to explain the matter to the beautiful woman.

"Absolutely not!" The beautiful woman didn’t hesitate, replying icily.

"Elder, I must make this trip!" Qin Feiyang’s attitude was also firm.

"Just for a savage beast and a medicinal herb?" The beautiful woman’s brow furrowed tightly.

Qin Feiyang said, "Not entirely. I also have some private matters to attend to."

"I really don’t know what to do with you. I won’t oppose your going, but you need to wait a bit longer. Elder Wan and the Hall Master should be returning soon. At that time, we’ll have Elder Wan accompany you." Seeing Qin Feiyang’s stubborn expression, the beautiful woman felt rather helpless.

Qin Feiyang said, "Is that really necessary, Elder? Just letting Elder Shi accompany me will be fine. If you are still worried, Elder, we can disguise ourselves."

"That could work. Shi Zheng is a Nine-Star War King. With his strength, he’s more than capable of protecting you in a place like Black Bear City. However, you absolutely must not reveal your true identity. Jia Hei and Elder He have now become completely unhinged. Those two War Kings who attacked Fatty and Lu Hong last time were Steward Elders from the Elixir King Palace. If they find out you’ve gone to Black Bear City, they will undoubtedly try to intercept and kill you," the beautiful woman warned gravely.

"Understood." Qin Feiyang nodded, then asked in confusion, "Since their identities are known, why haven’t they been apprehended? After all, they committed murder in broad daylight, violating the rules of Yan City."

The beautiful woman sneered, "Without catching them in the act, who would dare go to the Elixir King Palace to seize them? In short, strength is king."

It truly was a harsh reality. But the world had always been this way. Rather than blaming fate and others, it was better to redouble his efforts and cultivate diligently.

After bidding farewell to the beautiful woman, Qin Feiyang went directly back to Quiet Heart Lake and briefly explained the matter to Shi Zheng.

Then, they both consumed a Shape-shifting Pill, altered their appearances, and departed from the Martial King Palace.

None of the spies lurking outside the main gate noticed anything amiss. Such was the miraculous nature of the Shape-shifting Pill.

After exiting Yan City, Elder Shi took Qin Feiyang, and they journeyed non-stop towards Black Bear City.

「At noon!」

The two finally entered Black Bear City.

Several months had passed. Black Bear City hadn’t changed much; the Jiang Family still held sway. Other minor families aspiring to rise would likely have to expend considerable effort.

Treasure Pavilion.

「The VIP room!」

Qin Feiyang and Shi Zheng were seated beside a tea table, where a man in purple robes was attending to them. He was the Pavilion Master of the Black Bear City Treasure Pavilion.

While pouring tea, he asked, "May I know your names? And what business brings you to see me?"

Qin Feiyang said, "The Nine Suns Flower."

"Hm?" The Pavilion Master’s gaze sharpened.

Qin Feiyang smiled. "Don’t be nervous. Chief Li was the one who told me this news."

"You are from Yan City?" The Pavilion Master abruptly looked up, eyeing them with surprise and suspicion.

Qin Feiyang nodded and said with a faint smile, "Pavilion Master Pei, we are pressed for time, so let’s forgo the tea. Please just tell us the location of the Nine Suns Flower!"

The Pavilion Master sized up the two, silent and wary.

Qin Feiyang said with a wry smile, "We truly mean no harm. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Chief Li."

"Please wait a moment. I will return shortly." The Pavilion Master rose and quickly walked out of the VIP room.

Qin Feiyang gave Shi Zheng a helpless smile. He didn’t need to guess; the Pavilion Master had undoubtedly gone to confirm with Chief Li.

A moment later, the Pavilion Master strode back into the VIP room, cupped his hands, and said with a smile, "My apologies for my earlier offense. Please forgive me, both of you."

"It’s fine." Qin Feiyang smiled and asked, "Can you tell us now?"

The Pavilion Master said, "The Nine Suns Flower is in the canyon where the Bear King lives. I went there once, but I was driven out by it."

"The canyon?" Qin Feiyang paused.

He had been to that canyon before, so how could he have missed the Nine Suns Flower? Ah, right. The time he went, it was the middle of the night, and he was unconscious. He hadn’t paid close attention when leaving the canyon either.

The Pavilion Master smiled and said, "Chief Li instructed me to take you there. Do you plan to go now, or rest first?"

Qin Feiyang replied, "Now, of course."

With this Nine Suns Flower, he would have enough ingredients for two Potential Elixirs—one for himself and one for the Wolf King. Therefore, there could be absolutely no mistakes!

The three of them stood up and left the Treasure Pavilion.

As they passed the main entrance of the Elixir Palace, Qin Feiyang stopped. The figures of Luo Xiong, Elder Mo, and Feng Cheng surfaced in his mind.

"Let’s go!" Shi Zheng urged.

He guessed what Qin Feiyang was thinking, but now was clearly not the time to visit the Elixir Palace.

Qin Feiyang sighed inwardly and quickly moved on.

He would find another opportunity to properly thank Luo Xiong and Elder Mo after returning from Black Bear Mountain.

In a little under an hour, the three of them arrived before the canyon.

"Follow me." The Pavilion Master called out and entered the canyon, leading the way.

Along the path, the three of them saw many bear paw prints.

After proceeding several hundred meters, the Pavilion Master stopped beside a large rock, pointed upwards, and said with a smile, "It’s right there."

Qin Feiyang looked up and indeed, on the sheer cliff face, he saw a blooming flower. It was about the size of a palm, growing in a crevice in the rock. It had a total of nine petals, each as red as fire, looking like a miniature sun, appearing exceptionally dazzling.

ROAR!

THUD! THUD! THUD!

Just then, accompanied by a deafening roar, the ground began to shake.

From the depths of the canyon, a colossal creature came rushing madly towards them, its presence fierce and overwhelming!

Who else could it be but the Bear King?

Shi Zheng immediately pulled Qin Feiyang behind him. The Pavilion Master also retreated behind Shi Zheng, but instead of looking at the Bear King, he observed Qin Feiyang’s back, his eyes filled with bewilderment.

What was the background of this person? Not only was he accompanied by a War King, but even Chief Li had repeatedly instructed him to take good care of this individual.

ROAR!

The Bear King ran over, stopping about ten meters away. Its massive eyes stared fixedly at the three of them.

Qin Feiyang pushed Shi Zheng aside, stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said with a smile, "Senior Bear King, it’s been several months. I trust you’ve been well?"

"Hm?" The Bear King paused, looking at him in confusion.

Qin Feiyang smiled and said, "If I recall, last time, you were the one who helped me detoxify, allowing me to escape a great peril."

"Is it you?" The Bear King’s puzzled voice resonated in Qin Feiyang’s mind.

"Indeed, it is I," Qin Feiyang nodded.

The Bear King said, "Didn’t you go to Yan City? How did you suddenly appear here?"

Qin Feiyang pleaded, "I came all this way from Yan City specifically for this Nine Suns Flower. I implore you, Senior Bear King, to grant it to me."

The Bear King looked up at the Nine Suns Flower, then shook its head. "This King has use for this Nine Suns Flower; I cannot give it to you. Return quickly!"

Qin Feiyang felt a surge of anxiety. "Senior—"

The Bear King bellowed, "When I tell you to leave, you leave! No more nonsense!" It seemed even more anxious than Qin Feiyang.

Something’s wrong! Qin Feiyang’s heart skipped a beat. A sense of unease welled up in his heart. Given his relationship with the Bear King, even if it wouldn’t give him the Nine Suns Flower, it wouldn’t be in such a rush to send him away.

Shi Zheng asked, "What did it say?"

Since the Bear King was communicating telepathically, neither Shi Zheng nor the Pavilion Master knew what it had said earlier.

ROAR!

The Bear King seemed to lose patience, roaring fiercely at Qin Feiyang.

Instantly, a fierce wind erupted! It whipped Qin Feiyang’s clothes and dark hair, causing them to flap noisily!

"Hmph!" Shi Zheng snorted coldly, took a step forward, his gaze turning frigid.

"Elder, wait!" Qin Feiyang jolted, hastily grabbing Shi Zheng’s arm. He said in a low voice, "Let me try to talk to it first."

Shi Zheng frowned but took a step back.

Qin Feiyang looked at the Bear King and said in a grave tone, "Senior Bear King, what in the world is going on? Has something happened?"

The Bear King said, "Ask nothing. This King will say nothing. And in the future, never return to Black Bear Mountain. Leave immediately! The farther you go, the better!"

Qin Feiyang looked deeply at it, then nodded. "Alright, I’ll leave!"

"Leaving just like that?" The Pavilion Master and Shi Zheng were somewhat stunned.

"Let’s go!" Qin Feiyang said to the two of them, then turned and sped towards the canyon entrance.

However, his expression turned exceptionally grim. The Bear King’s final words contained too much information. Superficially, it was shooing him away, but in reality, it was concerned for him! He was certain that something he was unaware of must have happened to the Bear King.
