Chapter 175: Chapter 175 Rage Burns the Sky_1

"What’s with the eagle’s cry?"

Qin Feiyang, with the Wolf King, left the ancient castle and quickly crouched down in the grass, looking towards the valley.

At that moment, a shocking cold light flashed in Qin Feiyang’s eyes.

He saw a giant falcon circling above the cave. In its massive talons, it clutched at least twenty-odd people.

Those people were already dead.

And beneath the falcon stood a young man – Lin Chen!

He glanced at the people in the falcon’s talons and smiled at the falcon. "A good haul this time. We can refine another twenty-odd Bloodfiend Pills."

A terrifyingly sharp light flashed in the falcon’s eyes.

Its talons loosened.

The twenty-odd corpses fell to the ground before Lin Chen, accompanied by a series of THUDS.

Lin Chen barked, "Bear King, what are you just standing there for? Hurry and carry them inside!"

A flicker of unwillingness showed in the Bear King’s large pupils. But there was no choice; it had to be done.

Lin Chen cast a contemptuous look at it, then turned his gaze to the falcon and said, "Master has instructed that we must catch even more people tomorrow. As always, do not hunt on Black Bear Mountain, to avoid arousing suspicion."

SCREECH!

The falcon gave a sharp cry, flapped its black wings, and rushed out of the valley.

At the same time, a man and a wolf also entered the ancient castle.

Once the falcon had flown far off, Qin Feiyang and the Wolf King reappeared.

"These bastards! They’re actually using humans for alchemy!" Qin Feiyang clenched his fists, his eyes filled with a chilling murderous intent.

He didn’t object to killing. After all, it was the law of survival. But using humans for alchemy... that was simply inhuman! For people like that, even death by a thousand cuts wouldn’t be enough to satisfy his rage!

The Wolf King said in a deep voice, "Xiao Qinzi, calm down. Don’t alert the enemy."

This was a good opportunity. There could be no mishaps. Otherwise, if Zuo An escaped, who knew when they would be able to find him again.

Qin Feiyang understood this clearly, so he was doing his best to suppress the anger in his heart.

「Time flickered by.」

Dawn was approaching, yet they had not received any messages.

"What in the world are they doing?" Qin Feiyang frowned. It had been an entire night. Given the speed of the Martial King Palace Hall Master and the others, they should have arrived by now!

「The morning sun rose. All things stirred to life.」

At that moment, Qin Feiyang’s Image Crystal Stone finally showed some activity.

"You keep watch. Call me if anything happens."

After instructing the Wolf King, he returned to the ancient castle and took out the Image Crystal Stone.

Beams of light radiated out.

Fatty’s illusory figure appeared.

Qin Feiyang said angrily, "Fatty, what the hell are they doing? Why are they taking so long to arrive?"

Fatty said, "They’re here. We’re in the forest just before the gorge now. You should hurry over."

"The forest?" Qin Feiyang paused, then frowned and asked, "Then why are you the one contacting me?"

"No choice. Ling Yunfei wanted to cultivate, and Lu Hong didn’t want to come, so your Master Fatty had to make the sacrifice this time." Fatty had a helpless expression.

After a moment’s thought, Qin Feiyang understood. Only Ling Yunfei, Lu Hong, and Fatty had established a contractual link with him. The bigwigs from Yan Province had to go through one of them to contact him.

"I won’t head over there. You all just circle around to the back of the gorge. I’ll wait for you on this side," Qin Feiyang said sternly. "Remember, you must not make any noise, and completely conceal your auras."

Fatty nodded. "Alright."

After deactivating the Image Crystal Stone, Qin Feiyang took a Shape-shifting Pill and transformed into Jian Haotian’s appearance. Then he left the ancient castle, sent the Wolf King back inside it, and ran towards the foot of the mountain.

「In less than a hundred breaths.」

Six figures entered his field of vision. Two of them were Fatty and Shi Zheng. Shi Zheng had also reverted to his true appearance. Qin Feiyang had seen the Hall Master of the Martial Palace before, so naturally, he could recognize him.

As for the other three, they all appeared middle-aged. Although they were currently concealing their auras, Qin Feiyang could tell at a glance that none of them were ordinary individuals. Their demeanor was too exceptional, and their eyes were incredibly sharp, like drawn blades!

The group approached silently.

Qin Feiyang clasped his hands in salute and said, "Greetings, Seniors."

"Jian Haotian, although I’ve been in Star Moon City recently, I hear rumors about you every day," the speaker was none other than Lo Qingzhu’s father, Jiang Zhengyi! "I’ve always been curious whether you have three heads and six arms. But seeing you today, you don’t seem any different from ordinary people!" He was about 1.85 meters tall and slightly built, dressed in a well-fitting white robe. His temples were streaked with white, and his weathered face, marked by the vicissitudes of life, bore an amiable smile.

Qin Feiyang gave a wry smile. "Elder Jiang, those are all just rumors. You can’t take them seriously."

Among the four titans of Yan Province, only the Grand Pavilion Master resided in Star Moon City. So, even without introductions, he could guess their identities.

"Rumors?" Jiang Zhengyi looked surprised for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled.

Qin Feiyang turned to another man, clasped his hands, and said, "You must be the Yan King, Senior!"

This man was powerfully built, wore a golden robe, and a crown adorned his head. He exuded an unmistakable kingly aura. He was no stranger to such a kingly aura. Furthermore, only the Commandery Princes of the eighteen commanderies were qualified to wear crowns.

The Yan King nodded and smiled faintly. "Little brother, you’ve performed a great service this time. Once Zuo An is captured, this King will certainly reward you generously."

"Thank you, Yan King." Qin Feiyang expressed his thanks and then looked at the last person. This man had an imposing stature, with sharp, sword-like brows and eyes. His face was devoid of expression, making him appear exceedingly cold.

Undoubtedly, this was the Hall Master of the Elixir King Palace.

"Greetings, Senior." He offered a polite bow.

"Mm." The Elixir King Palace Hall Master merely gave a slight, indifferent nod.

Qin Feiyang couldn’t be bothered to invite further coldness. He glanced at the four magnates and said, "Zuo An is on the other side of this mountain. However, besides Old Feng, the Bear King is also his captive. I beseech you four to rescue them first, and then deal with Zuo An."

The Elixir King Palace Hall Master immediately retorted, "I disagree. What if Zuo An seizes the opportunity to escape while we’re attempting the rescue?"

Qin Feiyang subtly arched an eyebrow. "Senior, are you suggesting we sacrifice them?"

"For the greater good, their sacrifice is necessary. Feng Cheng, as the Law Enforcement Elder of the Black Bear City Elixir Palace, should already possess the resolve to die," the Elixir King Palace Hall Master said coldly.

Qin Feiyang clenched his fists. "Senior, forgive my bluntness, but Old Feng is not your slave. On what grounds should he be sacrificed? Is that something you, as a Chief Hall Master, should be saying?"

The Elixir King Palace Hall Master raised an eyebrow and said indifferently, "Are the affairs of my Elixir King Palace any of your concern?"

Qin Feiyang said, "Indeed, it’s none of my concern. However, Old Feng and the Bear King have shown me kindness, so I *must* get involved, even if I am insignificant before you!"

"And here I thought you lacked self-awareness," the Elixir King Palace Hall Master remarked nonchalantly.

Qin Feiyang stared fixedly at him, his fists clenching tighter and tighter. As expected, birds of a feather flock together. He was just like Jia Hei and Elder He—all cut from the same rotten cloth. Such a person. Such an Elixir King Palace. It was truly sickening!

"Fine!" Qin Feiyang’s expression turned grim, a hint of madness glinting in his eyes. "If you truly insist on sacrificing them, I have no objection. However, catching Zuo An today? That would be pure fantasy!"

"What are you trying to do?" The Elixir King Palace Hall Master’s eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint within them. "Believe it or not, this Hall Master could kill you right now!"

"Frankly, I’m not afraid of you at all!" Qin Feiyang sneered.

"Alright, alright, that’s enough from both of you," the Yan King interjected. "Ma Cheng, really! You’re a person of status; how can you squabble with a junior like this? Jian Haotian isn’t wrong either. As the Hall Master of the Elixir King Palace, you indeed shouldn’t have said such things."

Seeing the two were about to come to blows, the Yan King, Jiang Zhengyi, and the Martial King Palace Hall Master quickly stepped in to mediate.

The Martial King Palace Hall Master looked at Qin Feiyang and said reassuringly, "Rest assured. Feng Cheng is also Feng Ling’er’s grandfather. This Hall Master will not stand idly by and watch him die."

"Thank you, Senior." Qin Feiyang clasped his hands in gratitude. He then turned to Ma Cheng, shook his head, and said, "Such is the difference between people. Senior Ma Cheng, how utterly embarrassing for you."

A cold glint flashed deep within Ma Cheng’s eyes.

The Martial King Palace Hall Master frowned and chided, "You brat, that’s enough."

Qin Feiyang knew when to quit while he was ahead. Any further, and Ma Cheng would surely fly into a rage.

The Yan King said, "Lead us up for a look first."

Qin Feiyang said, "To be frank with you Seniors, this junior has already devised a plan."

"Let’s hear it." Jiang Zhengyi looked kindly at him.

"Luring the snake out of its hole. If we make a bit of a disturbance here, Zuo An will certainly come to investigate. When he does, you all will engage him, while Elder Shi and I go to rescue the captives. If Zuo An doesn’t come and only sends Lin Chen, that’s fine too. We can capture Lin Chen and interrogate him about the situation inside the cavern. Once we know what’s going on in there, rescuing Old Feng won’t be difficult," Qin Feiyang explained. He had mulled it over all night; this was the most reliable method.

Shi Zheng asked, "What if he sends the Bear King to investigate?"

"’If he sends the Bear King, that would be even better,’ Qin Feiyang said with a smile. ’It didn’t tell me the truth yesterday because it was undoubtedly worried about implicating me. But now that you all are here, things are different. It has nothing left to fear.’"

The Martial King Palace Hall Master pondered for a moment, then looked at Jiang Zhengyi, the Yan King, and Ma Cheng, and said with a smile, "I think his idea is feasible. What do you all think? Any objections?"

"None," the Yan King replied with a faint smile.

"I have no objections either," Jiang Zhengyi chuckled, his curiosity about Qin Feiyang growing.

Only Ma Cheng remained silent, not yet stating his position.

The Yan King clapped him on the shoulder and chuckled, "What’s there to consider? It’s settled then." Then, he turned to Qin Feiyang and said, "Take us up."

The group silently began climbing the mountain.

Upon reaching the mountaintop, Qin Feiyang pointed downwards and whispered, "Zuo An is in there. That’s the Bear King crouching at the cave entrance."

The expressions in their eyes immediately sharpened.

The Martial King Palace Hall Master said in a low voice, "Jian Haotian, you made the plan, so you give the orders. We’ll all listen to you now."

"Listen to me?" Qin Feiyang was taken aback, then quickly said, "Thank you, Senior."

However, before Qin Feiyang could outline his arrangements, Ma Cheng suddenly roared.

"Zuo An, come out and die!"

Immediately after, he leaped and plummeted downwards, his aura erupting skyward.

"That bastard!" Qin Feiyang’s face contorted instantly, and he couldn’t help but roar, absolutely livid.
