CHAPTER 121: CHAPTER 121: DON’T MENTION HIM AGAIN_1

Hearing the commotion, Qin Feiyang raised an eyebrow. He left the ancient castle with Feng Ling’er, Ling Yunfei, and the others.

When they saw Eagle Claw Peak crumbling before their eyes, their faces turned pale!

With a flick of Blue Snow, Qin Feiyang instantly snapped the iron chains binding Ling Yunfei and the others.

"Run quickly, or we’ll all be buried alive!" Feng Ling’er urged anxiously.

Lu Hong asked, "What about Chen Ying and Xu Jian?"

"They’re already dead, why worry about them? Let’s go!" Feng Ling’er was the first to dash towards a rock wall, preparing to climb up.

Qin Feiyang grabbed her shoulder and shook his head. "We don’t have time to climb. We need to blast an exit."

"Right!" Feng Ling’er nodded, clenching her fist and pounding the stone wall furiously.

A passage quickly appeared.

"Go!" With a wave of his hand, Qin Feiyang led Ling Yunfei and the other two into the passage, following closely behind Feng Ling’er. Qin Feiyang, gripping Blue Snow, also helped.

"It’s collapsing, hurry up!" Fatty shouted.

"Why don’t you do it?" Feng Ling’er snapped back.

"I’m not as fast as you," Fatty chuckled awkwardly.

"Then just shut up and stop wasting time!"

"Savage Elephant Punch!"

With a roar, she used her perfect Martial Arts Technique, blasting a path with unstoppable force. Every punch blasted the tunnel an additional over ten meters deep!

After more than ten breaths, a cavity finally appeared ahead.

The group desperately rushed out. Looking up, they were horrified!

The entirety of Eagle Claw Peak was collapsing! Rocks, soil, trees, and grass turned into an astonishing torrent, rolling down from above.

"Move, move, move!" Qin Feiyang barked.

The five of them ran for their lives, practically exhausting all the strength they had.

Behind them, the torrent relentlessly pursued, threatening to swallow them.

At that moment, it wasn’t just them escaping; the dangerous animals were also fleeing. A dense swarm, their roars shook the heavens—a truly spectacular sight.

However, dangerous animals were continuously swallowed by the torrent, buried alive!

Feng Ling’er shouted, "Fatty, Lu Hong, hurry!"

As a Two-star Martial Ancestor, Feng Ling’er was naturally fast. Qin Feiyang and Ling Yunfei, though only Five Star martial masters, both had auxiliary Divine Skills. Only Fatty and Lu Hong were the slowest, and the torrent was closing in step by step.

Seeing the imminent danger, Feng Ling’er quickly dashed back, grabbed one in each hand, and sprinted with all her might, dragging them along!

"Hey, hey, hey, slow down! My hairstyle is getting messed up," Fatty yelled.

「Several dozen breaths later.」

The five of them stopped on a small hill. Looking back at Eagle Claw Peak, half of which had already collapsed, they were utterly shocked.

The rumbling sound was like thunder, deafening! The thick dust obscured half the sky.

There was no telling how many dangerous animals were buried beneath the earth.

"That was truly nerve-racking." Fatty patted his chest, still shaken. If Feng Ling’er hadn’t helped, they would have been buried alive for sure!

"Huh? Why don’t I see that falcon?" Ling Yunfei wondered in surprise.

"It was probably tamed by Zuo An long ago," Qin Feiyang said.

"Not good, we’re surrounded!" Feng Ling’er suddenly cried out, her face turning ashen.

In the surrounding jungle, several enormous dangerous animals were closing in on them step by step! They were the Black Panther and other dangerous animals they had encountered before.

Fatty cried out in horror, "What do we do now? Sister-in-law’s strength alone isn’t enough to take them on."

"Sister-in-law?" Qin Feiyang and the others were taken aback.

Feng Ling’er retorted angrily, "You damned Fatty, if you spout such nonsense again, I’ll seal your mouth shut!"

With a woeful face, Fatty said, "Sister-in-law, if you can deal with them, forget sealing my mouth, I wouldn’t even mind if you spanked my butt."

"I would mind!" Feng Ling’er glared at him, gritting her teeth. "Jian Haotian," she snapped, "give me your dagger."

"No need, I have a way," Qin Feiyang said calmly. With a thought, the black wolf appeared.

He looked at the black wolf and asked, "Brother Wolf, can you get them to let us go?"

The black wolf looked up at him, then turned and growled lowly at the Black Panther and the other dangerous animals. The Black Panther and the others stopped, letting out low whimpers, as if communicating with the black wolf.

After a moment, the Black Panther and the other beasts gathered together, then turned and dashed away, quickly disappearing from sight.

The black wolf also made a move, preparing to follow.

Qin Feiyang hurriedly said, "Brother Wolf, why don’t you become my companion too?" Having spent so much time with the Wolf King, he had an inexplicable fondness for wolves.

The black wolf turned to look at him but ultimately didn’t stay, turning back and running into the depths of the jungle.

Qin Feiyang sighed deeply, quite disappointed. It seemed getting a ferocious beast to willingly follow a person was no easy task.

When he looked at Feng Ling’er and the others, he found them all looking at him strangely.

"What is it?" Qin Feiyang asked, puzzled.

Feng Ling’er said, "If I recall correctly, there was also a white wolf where we were hiding. How do you have such a good relationship with wolves?"

Qin Feiyang’s heart skipped a beat. Could she have guessed already?

Ling Yunfei’s eyes also narrowed slightly, a hint of cold light in them. He knew Qin Feiyang’s true identity and, more importantly, what it would mean if Qin Feiyang’s identity was exposed. So, now, the only option was to silence them!

Noticing the change in Ling Yunfei, Qin Feiyang glanced at him, signaling him not to be impulsive. Then, he chuckled, "Maybe it’s because I’m popular with wolves."

"Popular with wolves?" Everyone’s faces twitched.

"Really?" Feng Ling’er squinted, staring intently at him.

"What do you think?" Qin Feiyang shrugged, retorting with a question.

At that moment, Lu Hong frowned and said, "I remember, that Qin Feiyang who is wanted by the Royal House, he also has a white wolf with him, right?"

Feng Ling’er’s red lips curved up slightly, a profound smile playing on them. She nodded and said, "That’s right. Speaking of this Qin Feiyang, he’s truly remarkable. So young, yet already world-renowned; even in Yan City, everyone knows his great name."

"That impressive?" Qin Feiyang feigned surprise.

"Isn’t that obvious? How could someone wanted by the Royal House be an ordinary person? But speaking of which, that Qin Feiyang is said to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, about the same age as you, Brother Jian. He also has a white wolf. Coincidentally, the time this Qin Feiyang appeared in Black Bear City is the same as when you, Brother Jian, appeared. Moreover, Brother Jian, you’ve always been very mysterious, your origins unknown. Could it be that you are Qin Feiyang in disguise?" Fatty followed this train of thought, slowly piecing together this conclusion.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone stared at Qin Feiyang with suspicion. Ling Yunfei, of course, was only pretending.

Qin Feiyang cursed inwardly, That damned Fatty, what nonsense is he inferring?

Though Fatty was timid and afraid of trouble, his mind was truly sharp.

"How could I be Qin Feiyang? If I really were, I wouldn’t have saved you all back at Eagle Claw Peak. As for the white wolf, the world is vast and full of wonders; it’s not as if only Qin Feiyang can befriend wolves," Qin Feiyang said with an unflustered, faint smile.

Fatty nodded. "That seems reasonable too. Then why did you hide the white wolf?"

Qin Feiyang said, "Nonsense. Qin Feiyang is wanted by the Royal House. If I didn’t hide it, who knows how many people, like you, would mistake me for Qin Feiyang. Then, even if I had ten mouths, I couldn’t explain it clearly."

"Brother Jian, don’t say you’re not Qin Feiyang. Even if you were, Master Fatty would still admire you," Fatty chuckled.

"Stop trying to butter me up. I’m not one of those vain people who fall for that," Qin Feiyang shot him a look.

Feng Ling’er gazed at Qin Feiyang, a glint in her eyes, and smiled. "Alright, let’s find a place to rest for the night. We’ll set off for Yan City tomorrow morning."

The five of them walked shoulder to shoulder through the jungle. Qin Feiyang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless, he had managed to fool them for now.

「An hour later.」

The group arrived at a lakeshore. Ling Yunfei dived into the lake and caught two large fish, which he then grilled.

After a simple meal, Fatty, Lu Hong, and Feng Ling’er took healing pills and sat cross-legged by the fire, closing their eyes to recuperate.

Qin Feiyang walked several dozen meters away to the riverside and sat on a rock, gazing at the calm lake surface, saying nothing.

"What are you thinking about?" Ling Yunfei walked over and sat down beside him, asking.

Qin Feiyang sighed. "I’m thinking about Uncle Yuan. I wonder where he is now, and if he’s well."

"Uncle Yuan?" Ling Yunfei was puzzled.

Qin Feiyang smiled. "He’s a very benevolent and kind-hearted old man. For the past five years, he took meticulous care of me. In this world, aside from my mother, he’s the only one I truly miss."

Ling Yunfei comforted, "Good people will always be rewarded."

"Yes, he is a good man," Qin Feiyang nodded and smiled.

"What about your father? How come I’ve never heard you mention him?" Ling Yunfei asked.

CRACK!

Qin Feiyang’s hands abruptly clenched tight. His dark eyes turned blood-red in an instant, filled with immense hatred and pain! There was even a faint trace of killing intent!

"What’s wrong?" Ling Yunfei was greatly alarmed.

In his eyes, Qin Feiyang at that moment seemed like an Asura incarnate; the Evil Qi emanating from his body was terrifying!

"In the future, don’t mention my father in front of me!"

"Otherwise, even if it’s you, I won’t be polite!" Qin Feiyang enunciated each word, his tone icy to the bone.

After he spoke, the blood-red light in his eyes quickly receded. Soon, he returned to his previous state.

"Understood," Ling Yunfei nodded, though his heart was filled with immense bewilderment.

What secrets does this person hide?
