Immortal God of War-Chapter 149: Mysterious Place_1

"Finally... I’ve reached a breakthrough."

In a practice room at the Martial King Palace.

Ling Yunfei opened his eyes, two bright lights surging out.

"That first time we met in Black Bear City, both Qin Feiyang and I were Four-star martial masters."

"Now, he’s already become an Eight-star martial master."

"But, as soon as I take this Top Grade Vermilion Glazed Pill, I can catch up with him."

He muttered to himself, then took out a jade box. Upon opening the lid, a fiery red pill came into view.

Without any hesitation, he directly threw the pill into his mouth.

A moment later...

His aura surged continuously...

Finally... it stopped at the level of an Eight-star martial master!

"Thank you, Qin Feiyang."

Muttering to himself, he stood up and left the practice room.

Upon arriving at the main doors of the practice hall, a Steward Elder smiled and said, "Ling Yunfei, Elder Wan asked for you to come to him once you completed your closed-door practice."

"Thank you for the message."

With a hint of doubt, Ling Yunfei cupped his hands in thanks, then went over to the Law Enforcement Hall.

The Law Enforcement Hall was the residence of Elder Wan and the beautiful woman.

KNOCK, KNOCK!

Ling Yunfei stood in front of a room on the second floor and gently knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Elder Wan’s voice sounded from inside.

Ling Yunfei pushed the door and entered.

Elder Wan sat at his desk, looking down at a blood-red token. It was the Blood Slaughter Token Fatty had given him.

Upon seeing Ling Yunfei, he put down the Blood Slaughter Token and smiled, "Ah, it’s you. Close the door."

After closing the door, Ling Yunfei walked over to the desk, bowed slightly, and asked, "Elder, you asked for me?"

Elder Wan smiled faintly. "I want to ask you a question."

"A question?" Ling Yunfei was puzzled.

Elder Wan asked, "Your father, is his name Ling Feng?"

A chill ran through Ling Yunfei’s heart. He asked, "Elder, how did you know?"

Elder Wan smiled and said, "I thought you and Ling Feng looked very much alike. You are also both from the Ling Family of Black Bear City, so I asked Ling’er. Indeed, she told me that your father is Ling Feng."

"You’re asking this, Elder... do you know my father?" Astonished, Ling Yunfei asked.

Elder Wan nodded, smiling faintly. "Your father was also a disciple of the Martial King Palace, and like you, he had exceptional talent. In his generation, he was quite outstanding."

"So, that’s how it is."

A sudden realization hit Ling Yunfei. But he didn’t seem too surprised, as though he was aware this was coming.

Elder Wan sighed. "Yunfei, Ling’er has already told me about your father’s death. As the Law Enforcement Elder of the Martial King Palace, I failed to protect one of our own disciples... I am truly ashamed."

"You’re being too hard on yourself, Elder," Ling Yunfei replied.

"Had your father not died, he would probably already be a War King."

"To be frank, I called you here to ask if your father told you anything before he died?" Elder Wan asked.

"I wasn’t born yet when my father died," Ling Yunfei responded with a hint of disappointment.

Elder Wan frowned. "Then what about your mother? Did she tell you anything?"

Ling Yunfei shook his head.

"That’s impossible!"

Elder Wan frowned deeply and waved a hand. "You may leave for now. Focus on your cultivation; strive to surpass your father."

"This disciple will take his leave."

Cupping his fist, Ling Yunfei turned and left.

After stepping out, Ling Yunfei looked back at the Law Enforcement Hall, a mysterious gleam flickering in his eyes. Then, he went directly to Quiet Heart Lake, where Fatty and Lu Hong were sparring by the lakeside. Ling Yunfei stealthily walked over and teased, "Since when did you two become so close?"

"Ah!"

The two were startled and turned to look.

"Oh boy, you scared Master Fatty to death!" Fatty patted his chest and chuckled. "Brat Ling, come, come, come, spar with Master Fatty."

"Just you?"

Ling Yunfei scrutinized Fatty then shook his head. "I don’t have time. Where’s Jian Haotian?"

"Oh ho, looking down on Master Fatty now, huh? Take this!"

With a strange shout, Fatty shaped his five fingers into a claw. But as he approached Ling Yunfei, his claw-like hand suddenly clenched into a fist, rocketing towards Ling Yunfei’s chest.

"Heart Locking Kill Fist!"

Ling Yunfei’s eyes narrowed as he swiftly threw a punch, not using any True Qi.

BANG!

Their fists collided. Fatty’s body quivered, and he stumbled back several steps.

"How is this possible?" Disbelief was written all over Fatty’s face.

"You just started practicing the Heart Locking Kill Fist and haven’t even crossed the threshold. What are you getting so cocky about?" Ling Yunfei said scornfully.

Fatty huffed unconvinced. "Has your cultivation increased again?"

"Just broke through to Eight-star martial master." Ling Yunfei smirked.

"Eight-star martial master?"

Fatty was stunned for a long moment before he recovered, grumbling, "Bastard, why didn’t you say so earlier?"

"Well, you never asked. Anyway, no more nonsense. I’m going to find Jian Haotian. You guys can continue to cultivate your relationship."

With a mischievous smile, Ling Yunfei turned and dashed off towards the lofts.

"Cultivate our relationship?"

Fatty and Lu Hong paused, then simultaneously glanced at each other and scoffed, "With you?"

They both turned their gazes away at the same time, folding their arms, their faces etched with displeasure.

「Inside the Castle!」

While copying the Counter Curse Manual, Qin Feiyang asked, "Did you come to see me for something?"

"Yes." Ling Yunfei, who was standing behind him, nodded.

Qin Feiyang said, "Go ahead!"

Ling Yunfei said solemnly, "You remember my mother was imprisoned by the Ling Family, right? The reason is that my damned father told my mother something."

Qin Feiyang’s interest was immediately piqued. He stopped writing and turned to look at Ling Yunfei.

Ling Yunfei said, "My father used to be a disciple of the Martial King Palace too. One time, he went out to train alone and entered a very strange place. It was there he was seriously injured, and his cultivation was completely ruined."

"So, you were lying to me before?" Qin Feiyang raised an eyebrow.

He clearly remembered Ling Yunfei telling him that his father had been seriously injured on Black Bear Mountain.

Ling Yunfei hastily said, "No, no, no! I was also kept in the dark back then. I only found out the truth after my mother was freed."

Qin Feiyang asked, "Then what is the truth?"

"Back then, after my father escaped from that place, because his cultivation was ruined, he didn’t return to the Martial King Palace. Instead, he went back to Black Bear City.

"But on the way back to Black Bear City, he fainted outside a village due to his severe injuries.

"The kind-hearted people of that village saved my father’s life.

"It was while recovering in that village that my father met my mother.

"My mother was responsible for taking care of him. As time went by, they gradually developed feelings for each other.

"Not long after, they got married.

"However, for some reason, my father’s injuries kept recurring and never fully healed. Then one day, they began to worsen.

"Seeing his condition deteriorating day by day, my father grew anxious because he had not yet given my mother a legitimate status.

"Moreover, at that time, my mother was already pregnant with me. My father also wanted to provide me with a better environment to grow up in, and the Ling Family in Black Bear City was undoubtedly the first choice.

"So, my father decided to take my mother back to the Ling Family, hoping they would take good care of us.

"But my father never imagined, even in death, that the Ling Family would not only fail to care for my mother and me but would instead bully us for over a decade!"

Ling Yunfei finished in one breath, his eyes filled with hatred.

"Alas!"

Qin Feiyang sighed inwardly. The fate of this family is truly tragic. He asked, "Your second uncle treated you and your mother this way just because of that bizarre place?"

"Exactly!

"Because of the long journey, and his already weakened state, my father passed away the very night he returned to the Ling Family.

"During the vigil that night, my mother, sitting beside his coffin, muttered to herself about that strange place. Unfortunately, my second uncle happened to overhear her.

"My second uncle then began to interrogate her.

"But my mother remained silent. Infuriated, my second uncle imprisoned her and announced publicly that she had returned to her maternal home.

"Ultimately, even my mother’s family and the other villagers met a cruel fate at the hands of my second uncle because of this!"

Ling Yunfei clenched his fists, his teeth chattering incessantly with rage.

Qin Feiyang found it hard to believe. What exactly is in that bizarre place? Enough for Ling Yunfei’s second uncle to resort to such ruthless measures, disregarding family ties, just to pry the information from Liu Zhi?

Ling Yunfei said, "According to my mother, that place holds numerous priceless treasures, but it’s extremely dangerous. Anyone who enters is doomed to die!"

Qin Feiyang asked, "Where is this place?"

Ling Yunfei said, "In the Northernmost Land of Star Moon City, there’s a desolate desert. That place is at its very end."

"Star Moon City..."

Qin Feiyang pondered for a moment and said, "You’re telling me this because you want me to accompany you there?"

"Yes. I want to see what kind of place caused my father’s death and what treasures it might be hiding." Ling Yunfei nodded, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

He then added, "You have this castle and Blue Snow. I believe we should be able to make it out safely. Besides, it’s best if we set off immediately."

"Why?" Qin Feiyang frowned.

Ling Yunfei said solemnly, "Because Elder Wan was asking me about it earlier. I suspect he also wants to know the location of that place."

Even Elder Wan is asking about it?

Qin Feiyang couldn’t help but feel intrigued. He asked, "Apart from your father, who else knows about that place?"

Ling Yunfei shook his head. "No one else, for sure. Otherwise, Elder Wan and the others would have gone there long ago and wouldn’t be asking me about it now."

Qin Feiyang gritted his teeth and nodded. "Alright. We’ll set off in five days."

"Why five days later?" Ling Yunfei asked, puzzled.

Qin Feiyang said, "I need to concoct some healing pills and Bone-renewing Pills. Also, I’ve asked Chief Li to help me buy Image Crystal Stones. Having Image Crystal Stones will make things much easier."

"That makes sense." Ling Yunfei nodded.

But now, getting out of the city was the biggest challenge. The area around the Martial King Palace was under constant surveillance. Leaving the palace was tantamount to stepping into a tomb, where danger far outweighed any chance of survival. And with Shi Zheng always around, sneaking out unnoticed would be incredibly difficult.

Qin Feiyang contemplated for a moment and said, "Over the next few days, go look around for any shortcuts out of the city. Also, find a couple of Shape-shifting Pills, just in case."

"Okay." Ling Yunfei nodded.

After seeing Ling Yunfei out, the two of them got busy with their respective tasks.
