CHAPTER 531: 528

"Oriole!"

Pan Wuyan stared unblinkingly at Qin Feiyang, as if she had turned into an iceberg, her body exuding a bone-chilling coldness!

"Quickly kill him and reclaim the Elixir Flame!" Yan Tianfeng ordered.

"Ma San, help me, and I assure you a life filled with endless luxury and riches for the rest of your days," Mo Wushen pleaded. "You might even get a chance to enter the Imperial Capital with me!"

At the same time, Mo Wushen also sought Qin Feiyang’s assistance, offering attractive terms.

"Courting death!" Yan Tianfeng erupted in anger, his eyes glowing with terrifying ferocity as he struck Mo Wushen’s chest with a palm.

"AAAH..." Mo Wushen let out a miserable scream. His chest caved in, and he plummeted like a meteor towards the mountains below.

"Ma San, as long as you help me now, the matter of you killing my brother will be wiped clean," Mo Wushen roared. "Not only that, I will owe you a favor, one I will surely repay doubly in the future!"

Clearly, Yan Tianfeng and Pan Wuyan were dead set on killing him. If anyone else had been present, he definitely wouldn’t have asked Qin Feiyang for help, because he despised Qin Feiyang too. But now, he had no choice but to swallow his pride to survive.

"Repay me generously?" Hearing Mo Wushen’s words, Qin Feiyang shook his head and chuckled. Though he hadn’t spent much time with Mo Wushen, he could tell Mo Wushen was a vengeful person. He was certain that the moment Mo Wushen escaped and recovered, he would immediately come looking for trouble. If he helped now, he would essentially be inviting future disaster! He wasn’t that foolish.

BOOM!

With a loud rumble, Mo Wushen smashed into the ground, creating a deep pit. He lay there, barely breathing and unable to move.

Yan Tianfeng transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards the pit, murderous intent gleaming in his eyes!

WHOOSH!

Qin Feiyang also withdrew his gaze and turned to Pan Wuyan, saying with a faint smile, "How about a discussion?"

"A discussion?" Pan Wuyan stared at Qin Feiyang as if he were an idiot. "What right do you have to negotiate with me? However, if you’re willing to hand over the Elixir Flame, I might consider talking with you."

Qin Feiyang laughed. "One shouldn’t be so stubborn, or the tables might turn on you."

"Turn the tables?" Pan Wuyan sneered. "Are you saying *you* can turn the tables? Or that Mo Wushen can? How naive and ridiculous! Let me tell you, today, both of you will die!"

Pan Wuyan’s eyes filled with murderous intent. A wave of terrifying pressure rolled towards Qin Feiyang. Her tone was scornful as she said, "Killing a waste like you won’t require me to lift a finger; my pressure alone is enough to obliterate you a thousand times over!"

BOOM!

The pressure descended, and Qin Feiyang was instantly immobilized.

"Die!" Pan Wuyan shouted coldly, and the pressure squeezed Qin Feiyang ferociously from all sides.

I am an Eight-star War Emperor now, Qin Feiyang muttered. How can the mere pressure of a one-star War Ancestor possibly harm me? He then looked up at the sky and roared, "Break!"

BOOM!

Instantly, he broke free from the binding pressure, executed an aerial flip, and darted towards the lakeshore below.

At the same time, Fatty walked out from behind a boulder and opened a transport gate. Fatty had been hiding there, waiting to assist Qin Feiyang. As for the Rogue Wolf, Qin Feiyang had already sent him to the ancient castle before taking action. Qin Feiyang never intended to fight Mo Wushen and the other two to the death from the start. Therefore, letting the Rogue Wolf remain outside would have been a waste of time.

"Huh?" Pan Wuyan’s face filled with disbelief as she saw her pressure shattered by Qin Feiyang. How is this possible? Could this guy also be a War Ancestor?

But there was no time for further thought. She also noticed Fatty and the transport gate. She realized they planned to escape with the Elixir Flame. If the Elixir Flame was spirited away like this, wouldn’t all their efforts have been for nothing? She absolutely could not allow that to happen.

"Zhang Six, Ma San, if you know what’s good for you, hand over the Elixir Flame immediately! Otherwise, even if you make it back to the Inner Palace, I won’t let you off!" she ordered coldly. An icy vortex reformed above her head. A colossal ice elephant materialized, roaring as it charged towards the transport gate with overwhelming ferocity!

"Treasures belong to the capable," Qin Feiyang said with a faint smile, turning to meet the attack with an aerial palm strike. "Are you capable enough?"

The Counter Curse Manual reappeared!

A brilliant golden light erupted from his palm, transforming into a raging torrent that surged towards the ice elephant!

BOOM!

With a deafening explosion, Qin Feiyang’s entire arm was shattered on the spot. Blood spurted from his mouth, and his face turned deathly pale. Severely injured in a single blow!

The War Ancestor is indeed formidable, Qin Feiyang thought, grinning at Pan Wuyan. He used the force of the impact to swiftly land in front of the transport gate.

"Boss, are you alright?" Fatty watched him anxiously.

"I won’t die." Qin Feiyang shook his head. He looked at Pan Wuyan and Yan Tianfeng, waved, and said, "We’ll meet again."

With that, he stepped into the transport gate without a backward glance.

"Hurry up and kill Mo Wushen!" Fatty also smirked at the two before turning and swaggering away. "Or else, hehe... once you’re back in the Inner Palace, Mo Wushen will kill you before you even get a chance to deal with us."

In the blink of an eye, the transport gate vanished.

"Damn it!" Seeing this, Yan Tianfeng was furious and roared, "Pan Wuyan, you can’t even deal with two pieces of trash! What use are you?"

"If you’re so capable, why don’t you do it yourself!" Pan Wuyan retorted, equally enraged.

"HUMPH!" Yan Tianfeng snorted coldly. "If it were I, they wouldn’t have escaped even if they grew wings! However, they are not an immediate concern. We should eliminate Mo Wushen first. We can deal with them slowly once we return to the Inner Palace."

Mo Wushen was the greatest threat. If he didn’t die now, he would undoubtedly cause endless trouble in the future.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Intense killing intent flared in their eyes as they both swooped down towards Mo Wushen.

Mo Wushen didn’t flee. After suffering repeated injuries, he no longer had the strength to escape. Drenched in blood, he struggled to his feet and faced Yan Tianfeng and Pan Wuyan, his voice strained, "I always treated you well. How could you do this to me? Have you no conscience?"

"Treated us well?" Pan Wuyan sneered. "Are you joking? Go ask anyone. Who doesn’t know you were just using us?"

"Enough talk! Kill him!" Yan Tianfeng was not only ruthless but also extremely cautious. To prevent any complications, he immediately struck to kill!

However, just as Mo Wushen was about to be killed, he suddenly vanished without a trace!

"What’s going on?" Yan Tianfeng and Pan Wuyan stared, their eyes wide with fury. They scanned their surroundings, their expressions turning incredibly grim!

「Meanwhile」

Qin Feiyang and Fatty materialized above a jungle.

"Boss, are you really okay?" Looking at Qin Feiyang’s shattered arm, Fatty was deeply concerned.

"I’m fine." Qin Feiyang smiled, took out a Rebirth Pill and a Healing Pill, and consumed them. He then entered the ancient castle.

As soon as that Elixir Flame appeared, the Netherworld Demon Flame automatically revived and quickly devoured it. His aura surged greatly once more!

Qin Feiyang’s eyes gleamed. With one more fourth-rank Elixir Flame, his Netherworld Demon Flame could advance to become a Fifth Grade Elixir Flame. By then, he would be able to refine elixirs with four Elixir Patterns!

Fatty asked, "Boss, where do we get another Elixir Flame now?"

"The Inner Sanctuary of Yun State!" Qin Feiyang answered without hesitation.

"What?" Fatty was taken aback.

Lin Yiyi opened her eyes and frowned. "Brother Feiyang, the Inner Sanctuary of Spirit State is teeming with experts, and Yun State’s will surely be the same. Isn’t this too risky?"

"There are only four months left until the Nine States War. I have no time to waste; I must speed up," Qin Feiyang said. "Right now, acquiring an Elixir Flame from Yun State’s Inner Sanctuary is the quickest path."

The Rogue Wolf chuckled. "This bro supports you!"

"Can you not cause more trouble?" Lin Yiyi looked at him helplessly.

"Is this bro causing trouble?" the Rogue Wolf retorted. "This bro is just speaking the truth. If we hadn’t come to Yun State, it would be a different matter. But since we’re here, we naturally can’t miss any opportunity. Besides, it’s just one Inner Sanctuary. What’s there to fear?" He sounded disdainful.

"Just an Inner Sanctuary?" Fatty and the others were speechless.

Only this fearless, shameless Rogue Wolf would dare say something so arrogant.

"Alright, my mind is made up. You don’t need to worry. Just focus on your cultivation," Qin Feiyang said. "Fatty, let’s go."

Qin Feiyang waved his hand, and he and Fatty appeared in the sky above the jungle, scanning the area below.

In the distance, the vibrations of a battle could be felt.

The two shot through the sky like lightning, halting above a mountain range. Looking down, they saw a black-clad young man battling a ferocious beast.

Qin Feiyang pointed from the air. Battle Intent surged forth, forming a fiery red arrow that instantly pierced the beast’s head.

The black-clad young man愣了一下, then looked up at Qin Feiyang and Fatty. His expression changed instantly. He bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother Ma San and Senior Brother Zhang Six."

Their deeds in the mountain range had long been common knowledge. In the eyes of everyone in the Inner Palace, apart from the three Kings, Qin Feiyang and Fatty were the ones not to be provoked.

Qin Feiyang chuckled. "The Elixir Flame has emerged, so the training should be ending. How about returning to the Inner Palace with us?"

"Together?" The black-clad young man was stunned for a long moment before he recovered, nodding hastily. "Yes, yes, yes! To travel with both Senior Brothers is a blessing this junior brother must have earned over three lifetimes!"

Qin Feiyang was slightly taken aback. Isn’t this a bit too exaggerated? He asked, "Do you have a transport gate?"

"Yes." The black-clad young man nodded, then instinctively asked, "Senior Brothers, don’t you have one?"

"We ran out," Qin Feiyang smiled.

So that’s why they asked to travel with me, the black-clad youth muttered to himself. However, he felt no dissatisfaction; instead, he felt quite honored.

WHOOSH!

The black-clad young man flew before Qin Feiyang and Fatty, took out a transport gate, and quickly activated it.

Qin Feiyang and Fatty exchanged a glance and stepped inside one after the other.

Truthfully, it wasn’t that they lacked a transport gate; they simply didn’t know the coordinates of the Inner Palace, which was why they had sought out this person.

Soon, the three of them appeared in the sky above a vast plain.

The plain stretched for several li around. It had no trees but was covered in lush green wild grass, presenting a vibrant scene. Below, many young men and women had gathered, all at or above the War Emperor realm. However, everyone was disheveled and bloodstained.

On the far side of the plain was a narrow entrance that led into an endless mountain range. Flanking the entrance, ten guards in black armor stood ramrod straight like javelins, their gazes sharp and alert.
