Immortal God of War-Chapter 130 Cooperation_1

Qin Feiyang turned his head towards the two men, his face immediately covered with mockery, and he made no attempt to hide it. The expressions of the surrounding crowd also turned intrigued. The atmosphere here was somewhat strange.

"What do you mean?" As soon as Elder He and his companion arrived, they turned to the beautiful woman, demanding an answer.

The beautiful woman replied calmly, "You’ve seen very clearly that his martial arts talent is in no way inferior to his alchemy talent. Our Martial King Palace has no reason to help you again."

Elder He retorted, "But you promised us before! As the leader of the Martial King Palace, shouldn’t you keep your word?"

The beautiful woman chuckled. "Indeed, we did promise you. But who knew he would be so delightful?"

Jia Hei’s gaze darkened as he bellowed, "You..."

"Don’t accuse me of being unjust. It’s you who don’t know how to treasure talent."

"If it weren’t for your insatiable greed, forcing him to surrender the Netherworld Demon Flame, would he have left the Elixir King Palace?"

"Ultimately, this is a situation of your own making." The beautiful woman mocked them unabashedly.

Jia Hei glared at the beautiful woman, his hands clenched so tightly they creaked. He was clearly enraged to the extreme.

"Sigh!" Elder He sighed deeply, turned to Qin Feiyang with a complicated expression, and said, "We were wrong about what happened before. I hope you can forgive us."

A smirk touched Qin Feiyang’s lips as he replied indifferently, "I’m just an insignificant nobody. How could I possibly dare to make Elder He himself apologize?"

Elder He’s expression stiffened. He forced a smile and said, "Come back to the Elixir King Palace with us first. As for other matters, we can discuss them later, how about it?"

"Discuss?" Qin Feiyang’s lips curled. "So, you still haven’t given up? Interesting. The so-called great Elixir King Palace not only fails to protect its disciples’ interests but instead uses its authority to exploit them. Tell me, how is that different from a den of bandits?"

Qin Feiyang mocked, his inward anger flaring even stronger! These old bastards were the most shameless people he had ever met.

Elder He’s face turned quite gloomy. In his view, condescending to this extent for a junior was already giving him ample face. Yet, this person was relentless when he had the upper hand, repeatedly being insolent. This wasn’t just trampling on his dignity; it was blatant contempt for the Elixir King Palace!

"Are you furious? Do you want to kill me?" Qin Feiyang sneered.

Neither Elder He nor his companion replied, but their eyes said it all.

"Before scheming against others, you should first take a good look at yourselves and see if you even have the capability."

"You may be strong, but your petty schemes are so transparent even an idiot could see through them."

"A test of patience?" Qin Feiyang scoffed. "Are you hoping I’ll apologize and beg you to take me back? Do you really think the Elixir King Palace is so almighty that I can’t survive without it? Don’t think so highly of yourselves. The sun will still rise even if someone is gone from this world."

"I will not return to the Elixir King Palace. That place is utterly disgusting to me."

"Do you remember what I said three months ago? We’ll see who regrets this in the end. This is just the beginning."

Qin Feiyang sneered, glanced at the two, then turned to the beautiful woman and cupped his hands. "I apologize for any offense caused. I hope you can forgive me." With that, he turned and walked away.

"Hm?" The beautiful woman was taken aback. The surrounding crowd was also utterly astonished. Hadn’t he already passed the assessment? Why wasn’t he entering the Martial King Palace? Could it be that he was merely using the Martial King Palace to slap the Elixir King Palace in the face? Was this whole drama just a farce he orchestrated?

Everyone had initially thought the Martial King Palace would be the ultimate winner. However, in the end, the Martial King Palace gained nothing. He himself was the biggest winner. He had not only showcased his potential and talent, attracting the Martial King Palace’s attention, but had also plunged the Elixir King Palace into an embarrassing predicament—truly killing two birds with one stone! This young man’s mind was truly remarkable.

Seeing Qin Feiyang about to disappear into the crowd, the beautiful woman quickly said, "Jian Haotian! If you join the Martial King Palace now, the Chief Hall Master, Elder Wan, and I will immediately help you control the Netherworld Demon Flame!"

Elder He and Jia Hei whipped their heads around, their gazes fixing on the beautiful woman. Her actions were undoubtedly undermining them, pushing the Elixir King Palace into an even more awkward position!

"What are you looking at?" The beautiful woman’s eyebrows arched. "This is the Martial King Palace. Are you planning to cause trouble here?" A bone-chilling aura emanated from her.

The two men’s faces turned grim. They had thought that no matter how big the commotion, they could control the situation. Only now did they realize that this matter had slipped from their grasp as early as three months ago.

What should they do now? How could they salvage this? This boy already hated them to the bone; was there any way to make him change his mind? At this moment, the two men were lost in confusion. Simultaneously, endless regret surged like a relentless tide, uncontrollably welling up and engulfing their entire beings.

"Looks like they’re full of regret now, huh!"

"No kidding. Think about it: how valuable is an Alchemist who can refine Top Grade elixirs? Besides, he’s also a martial arts prodigy. Who wouldn’t regret losing such an exceptional talent?"

"Actually, the Elixir King Palace shouldn’t have tried to snatch the Netherworld Demon Flame from the start."

"Exactly! The correct approach would have been to help him control the Netherworld Demon Flame, just like the Martial King Palace would."

"If they had done that, none of this would have occurred. On the contrary, Jian Haotian would have been deeply grateful and pledged undying loyalty to the Elixir King Palace."

"They’re both ruling powers in Yan Province. Why is there such a vast difference in how they conduct themselves?"

The crowd murmured amongst themselves. These whispers reached the ears of Elder He and his companion, making them flush red with shame, utterly humiliated.

Meanwhile, upon hearing the beautiful woman’s words, Qin Feiyang stopped and fell into deep thought.

The woman smiled. "If you can’t decide right away, you can stay at the Martial King Palace for now and take your time to consider."

"Her intelligence simply outclasses the Elixir King Palace’s!" people exclaimed in admiration. No pressure, no rush, no posturing—just giving him ample time to think. That showed the greatest respect. And once Jian Haotian agreed to stay at the Martial King Palace, his joining them would be practically a done deal.

Qin Feiyang looked up at the beautiful woman. "Senior, how about we cooperate?"

"Cooperate?" The beautiful woman was momentarily stunned. "How would we cooperate?"

Qin Feiyang explained, "You help me control the Netherworld Demon Flame, and I will refine Top Grade elixirs for you. However, you must provide the materials and also give me suitable compensation."

The beautiful woman’s eyes lit up.

"Absolutely not!" Elder He and Jia Hei cried out in unison.

If this collaboration succeeded, the Elixir King Palace’s interests would shrink drastically! They absolutely could not let this happen.

Qin Feiyang glanced at the two. "Does this concern you?" he asked coolly.

The two were instantly rendered speechless, as if they had swallowed a bitter pill they couldn’t spit out.

Qin Feiyang ignored them, turned back to the beautiful woman, and asked, "Senior, what do you say?"

The beautiful woman nodded. "Alright, I agree to cooperate. As for the compensation, we can discuss the details in the main meeting hall."

"No problem." Qin Feiyang smiled and walked towards the beautiful woman.

But just then, Elder He stepped in front of him. "Is there truly no room for negotiation?" he asked.

"Then tell me," Qin Feiyang retorted, "if you were in my shoes, what would you do? Would you still return to the Elixir Palace?"

"Once all this had passed, I would return to the Elixir Palace," Elder He stated.

"Impressive, truly impressive," Qin Feiyang said with a slight sneer. "But I’m sorry, I’m not that magnanimous. I’m a very petty person." With that, Qin Feiyang walked past Elder He.

"I refuse to believe I can’t handle a brat like you!" Jia Hei could endure it no longer. His large hand shot out, forming an eagle’s claw, and grabbed for Qin Feiyang’s neck.

The beautiful woman’s expression changed. She swiftly moved to shield Qin Feiyang behind her, her voice cold, "Jia Hei! Do you forget where you are? How dare you act so wantonly!"

"Old Jia, stop!" Elder He hurriedly shouted.

Jia Hei paused, his arm frozen in mid-air. He glanced at the beautiful woman, then his gaze, sharp as a razor, landed on Qin Feiyang.

Qin Feiyang stepped out from behind the beautiful woman, looking at Jia Hei fearlessly. He stated calmly, "Give me five years. I will undoubtedly crush you under my heel."

Is this a declaration of war? The crowd was aghast. To dare declare war on a War Emperor—had this man borrowed courage from the heavens themselves?

"HAHAHA..." Jia Hei was stunned for a moment, then burst into derisive laughter. "Fine! Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. I’ll give you ten years. Ten years from now, if you can defeat me, I’ll kneel and let you do as you please! But if you can’t, I’ll subject you to death by a thousand cuts!"

"Then we shall wait and see," Qin Feiyang replied calmly, then walked straight through the main gates of the Martial King Palace.

The beautiful woman frowned slightly and quickly followed him.

Watching Qin Feiyang disappear into the Martial King Palace, Elder He said angrily, "Old Jia, how could you be so foolish? After the scene you just caused, isn’t it even clearer there’s no room left for reconciliation?"

Jia Hei retorted angrily, "Can’t you see? He’s already dead set on leaving the Elixir King Palace!"

"Even if that’s true, you shouldn’t have deepened the hatred!" Elder He roared. "He can refine Top Grade elixirs! Do you have any idea what that means? If you don’t, I’ll tell you now: his future achievements will surpass ours. He might even get the chance to enter the Imperial Capital!"

"The Imperial Capital!" Jia Hei’s eyes trembled.

The Imperial Capital... that legendary place countless people yearned for! Even for him, a Law Enforcement Elder of the Elixir King Palace, it was an unreachable dream!

Elder He continued, "Although his departure from the Elixir King Palace is related to us forcing him to hand over the Netherworld Demon Flame, your attitude back then was the biggest reason!"

"What did you call him back then? An ’ill-bred bastard’!"

"Didn’t you see his reaction when he heard that? He looked like he wanted to kill you right then and there!"

"Sigh... I shouldn’t have brought you along." Elder He shook his head and sighed, filled with immense regret.

"So what? Isn’t he an ill-bred bastard?" Jia Hei sneered.

"You..." Elder He glared, furious, but the words caught in his throat. He let out a long, powerless sigh, looking utterly dejected.

"It’s too late for more words; they’re useless now. Let’s go. We’ll go back and ask the Chief Hall Master. He might have a solution." With that, Elder He soared into the sky and quickly vanished without a trace.

A genius, is he? Jia Hei thought, turning to glance at the Martial King Palace. So what if he’s a genius? As long as he hasn’t matured, he’s no threat! I’d like to see if you can hide in the Martial King Palace for a lifetime! A murderous glint flashed in his old eyes as he transformed into a streak of divine light and shot off into the sky.

Now that the main parties had departed, the onlookers who had gathered for the spectacle naturally dispersed. And news of this event spread like wildfire through Yan City, irresistibly becoming the hottest topic of conversation during people’s leisure time.
