Immortal God of War-Chapter 144: The Furious Elixir King Palace_1

Though the situation was grave, it was undeniably very satisfying.

Qin Feiyang breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and laughed. "Let’s go roast bear paws."

"Huh?"

Fatty and Lu Hong were taken aback.

At a time like this, was he still in the mood to roast bear paws?

Qin Feiyang chuckled. "Didn’t you come to persuade me to return to Elixir King Palace? Shouldn’t we put up a pretense?"

"Heh heh." Fatty understood and started laughing mischievously.

Lu Hong, however, gave a helpless sigh.

Then, the three left the attic, found a spacious place by the lake, collected some dry wood, built a fire, and leisurely started roasting bear paws.

「Meanwhile.」

Elder Jing, who was hurrying back to the Elixir King Palace, was bubbling with joy and couldn’t contain his happiness.

Although Jian Haotian hasn’t agreed to return to Elixir King Palace, that damn Fatty was so confident, there won’t be a problem. By then, I’ll have all the credit, and that timid Fatty will definitely not dare to compete with me. Perhaps, the next Law Enforcement Elder might really be me.

He galloped, immersed in joy, unable to extricate himself.

However, when he returned to the Elixir King Palace and came to the herb field, he was stunned on the spot. It was as if a basin of ice-cold water had been poured over his head; his inner joy was instantly extinguished!

Panic! Fear! Anger! All kinds of negative emotions erupted like a volcano, unstoppable!

"Who..." His hands clenched tightly, his whole body trembling. His face twisted ferociously, his eyes extremely gloomy. "Who did this..."

"Who did this! Come out!"

Suddenly, he let out a roar toward the sky. His overflowing rage finally erupted. His robes fluttered, his black hair danced wildly, and the veins on his forehead throbbed. He was like a frenzied beast, an overwhelming Evil Qi emanating from his body!

"What’s going on?"

"Elder Jing, what are you yelling about?"

A few nearby Steward Elders rushed over upon hearing the commotion.

"What happened? Where are the medicinal herbs?"

When they saw the empty herb field, their expressions changed drastically. They rushed into the herb field but couldn’t find a single medicinal herb.

"All gone?"

"This represents countless years of the Elixir King Palace’s hard work!"

"Where did they go?"

"Elder Jing, what on earth happened? Tell us!"

The Steward Elders surrounded Elder Jing, looking at him anxiously.

"I..." Elder Jing said through gritted teeth, "I don’t know either!"

"Weren’t you guarding the herb field? How can you not know?"

"Did you abandon your post?"

They were full of suspicion.

"When I say I don’t know, I mean I don’t know! You all are so annoying!" Elder Jing yelled in frustration.

The group instantly raised their eyebrows.

One of the Steward Elders suddenly said, "No, even if Elder Jing abandoned his post, no one would dare to infiltrate the Elixir King Palace and plunder the herb field. This person must be one of us, from our Elixir King Palace."

BOOM!

Hearing this, Elder Jing felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Tangible murderous intent surged from his body!

It must be them... They tricked me into leaving the city and seized the opportunity to loot the herb field... Not only did I fail to notice, but I also happily sent them to the Martial King Palace... How could I be so stupid... A man of my age, actually being played for a fool by two teenage brats... I... I...

The more Elder Jing thought about it, the angrier he became. Eventually, the rage consumed him, and with a PUFF! he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Elder Jing, what’s wrong?"

"Are you okay?"

Several Steward Elders instantly rushed over, supporting him, their faces full of concern.

"Little Bastards, I won’t let you get away with this! I will cut you into pieces and grind your bones to dust!"

Like a madman, Elder Jing’s Battle Intent erupted, pushing away the Steward Elders. Carrying a terrifying murderous aura, he stormed outside.

WHOOSH!!

「At that moment.」

A figure in black and another in white, like shooting stars, tore through the sky. It was Elder He and Jia Hei!

They hovered in mid-air, their gazes sweeping over the herb field below, their dark pupils glowing with a shocking, cold light.

"Greetings, Elders."

The Steward Elders knelt on one knee, respectfully greeting them.

"What happened here?" Jia Hei asked, his gaze as cold as frost, making them all shiver uncontrollably.

A Steward Elder hurriedly said, "Elder, it was like this when we arrived. We don’t know what happened."

Jia Hei looked up at Elder Jing. A sharp flash in his old eyes, he transformed into a beam of light, swiftly pursuing and blocking Elder Jing’s path.

Upon seeing Jia Hei, an overwhelming fear gripped Elder Jing’s heart.

THUMP!

He quickly knelt. "I was deceived! Elder Jia, I beg for mercy!"

"Who did it?" Elder He asked with a grim face, flying over.

Elder Jing replied, "It was that damn Fatty, and a female disciple named Lu Hong!"

"Fatty?" Elder He frowned, puzzled. "Are you referring to Situ Tianyu?"

"Yes, that’s him!" Elder Jing nodded.

"Impossible! He doesn’t have the guts!" Jia Hei shouted decisively. He had met Fatty a few times, and his impression was of someone weak and timid as a mouse, absolutely incapable of such an act.

"No," Elder He waved his hand, saying solemnly, "It’s very possible."

"Hmm?" Jia Hei looked at him with a frown.

Elder He said, "Don’t underestimate him just because Fatty is timid. He’s actually very cunning; otherwise, I wouldn’t have assigned him to manage the herb field."

Jia Hei said angrily, "So, in the end, this is all your fault!"

Elder He frowned. "What’s wrong with recognizing someone’s intelligence and giving them some attention? Enough, I won’t argue with you."

Visibly irritated, Elder He looked down at Elder Jing and asked, "Where are Fatty and Lu Hong now?"

"At the Martial King Palace!" Elder Jing replied.

"How could they be at the Martial King Palace?" Jia Hei was furious. If they were in the Elixir King Palace or somewhere else, they could simply send people to capture them. But with them at the Martial King Palace, things became much more complicated.

"I..." Elder Jing hesitated, both angry and anxious. He dared not tell the truth.

Elder He asked, "Did they raid the herb field long ago? Where were you at that time?"

"Speak!" Jia Hei’s patience had worn thin. He stepped forward, his mighty War Emperor aura surging towards Elder Jing like a tidal wave.

"I... I escorted them to the Martial King Palace..." Elder Jing turned pale and hurriedly confessed everything.

Upon hearing his confession, Elder He and Jia Hei were utterly enraged. The other Steward Elders also looked at Elder Jing with scorn.

"A young brat used a simple trick, and you abandoned your post to search for some damned bear paw? You even happily escorted them to the Martial King Palace..."

"Brilliant! Our Elixir King Palace is truly full of ’talented’ individuals like you!"

"If everyone were as ’smart’ as you, our Elixir King Palace would have been ruined long ago!"

"You damned fool! I’ve never seen anyone as stupid as you—you’re worse than a pig!"

"With your pathetic intelligence, you dared to dream of becoming the next Law Enforcement Elder? Pure daydreaming, utter delusion!"

The two top Law Enforcement Elders, disregarding their image, cursed Elder Jing profusely, spit flying everywhere. They were practically about to explode from anger.

"Elder He, Elder Jia, although Elder Jing made a mistake, now is not the time to assign blame. We must find Fatty as soon as possible and recover those medicinal herbs," a Steward Elder bowed and said.

"This matter is a disgrace that the Elixir King Palace will never be able to erase!" Jia Hei declared. "Not only will I retrieve the medicinal herbs, but I will also kill them!"

With that, Jia Hei grabbed Elder Jing, soared into the sky, and shot towards the Martial King Palace, chilling murderous intent radiating from his eyes.

"Do not spread word of this, lest we become a laughingstock," Elder He instructed the Steward Elders, then he too flew high into the sky, pursuing Jia Hei.

「A short while later.」

The two arrived above the entrance of the Martial King Palace. Without pausing or announcing their arrival, they burst directly into the Martial King Palace.

The middle-aged man in the reception hall spotted them immediately. He quickly ran out of the hall and, with a few leaps, landed on the roof.

Upon seeing Elder He, Jia Hei, and Elder Jing, his expression changed dramatically. He yelled, "Elder He, Elder Jia! Flying is forbidden over the Martial King Palace! Are you publicly provoking our Martial King Palace? Get down now!"

However, Elder He and Jia Hei turned a deaf ear.

WHOOSH!

「Just then.」

Two dazzling figures shot out from somewhere within the Martial King Palace, blocking Elder He and his companions! It was Elder Wan and the beautiful woman.

Their expressions were extremely grim.

Elder He and Jia Hei also stopped in mid-air. Their eyes met those of the newcomers, cold light flashing between them.

Elder Wan shouted, "What is the meaning of this? Are you declaring war on our Martial King Palace?"

"Declare war? How could we dare!" Jia Hei laughed coldly. "I should be asking *you* what *you* mean!"

"What are you talking about? Speak clearly!" The beautiful woman stepped forward. Her seemingly frail body emanated an astonishing pressure that shook the surrounding space.

"Still playing dumb?" Elder He scoffed. "Are Situ Tianyu and Lu Hong currently in the Martial King Palace?"

"Hmm?" Elder Wan and Elder Ji frowned, thoroughly confused.

The middle-aged man rushed over, looked up at them, and said loudly, "Elder Wan, Elder Ji, Situ Tianyu and Lu Hong came to see Jian Haotian a short while ago. They should be with him now."

"So!" Jia Hei’s rage flared, his eyes fixed on Elder Ji and Elder Wan. "It turns out this was all orchestrated by that Little Bastard, Jian Haotian! If you don’t hand over all three of them today, I will raze the Martial King Palace to the ground!"

"I’ll kill you first!" Elder Ji retorted, a chilling aura emanating from her. Her slender hand pointed, and Battle Intent surged from her fingertip, transforming into an astonishing wave that flooded the space, rolling towards Elder He and his companions. The power was immense!

Elder He quickly stepped in front of Jia Hei and Elder Jing. He waved his aged hand, and a wave of his own Battle Intent surged forth.

BOOM!

The two forces collided with a deafening explosion that shook heaven and earth.

"It seems your Elixir King Palace is determined to lord it over our Martial King Palace!" Elder Ji spoke coldly. A chilling aura pulsed around her, her hair flowed wildly, and her long skirt rustled. She seemed to transform into a War Goddess, her imposing aura soaring to the heavens.
