Immortal God of War-Chapter 84: Seeking Death Themselves_1

On the way back to the Elixir Palace.

Feng Cheng patted Qin Feiyang’s head and asked curiously, "How did you manage to be so clever, young chap?"

"What do you mean?" Qin Feiyang was taken aback, looking at him, puzzled.

"Back then, we all saw the Ling Family’s Clan Elders leaving first, but we didn’t think they were planning to escape with Ling Yunfei’s mother."

"Not only did you consider that possibility, but you also had Fatty follow them. I really want to crack your head open and see what’s inside it." While speaking, Feng Cheng stared at Qin Feiyang’s head, his eyes glinting.

Qin Feiyang felt a chill run down his spine and quickly stepped to the side.

Then, he chuckled and said, "I just got lucky, a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse."

"Don’t try to fool me." Feng Cheng narrowed his old eyes. "Tell me honestly, did you or did you not kill Zhao Liu and his companion?"

Qin Feiyang declared, "I swear, Disciple, it was honestly Steward Ling who killed them."

This was the truth, so there was no need to feel guilty.

Feng Cheng frowned. "Then why did that Steward Ling initially say the bodies were buried outside our Elixir Palace’s main gate?"

Qin Feiyang briefly recounted the events of that night.

"HAHA..." Feng Cheng laughed. "So that’s how it was."

"Interesting, truly interesting."

"Kiddo, I find myself liking you more and more. How about you become my disciple?" Feng Cheng grinned.

"Huh?" Luo Xiong and Elder Mo both shot Feng Cheng disdainful looks.

This young man has Ninth Level spiritual power and even produced a Top Grade pill on his first attempt at Alchemy! Are you even worthy of being his master? Before you open your mouth, shouldn’t you take a good look at yourself in a mirror? What kind of person are you? Utterly shameless.

Though neither of them voiced these thoughts, their expressions made their opinions clear to anyone who wasn’t an idiot.

But Feng Cheng showed no embarrassment and stated righteously, "Regardless, I am the most experienced Elder in the Elixir Palace. I’m more than capable of teaching this rookie who has just started."

"Fine. Then go make a Top Grade elixir for me to see. If you can’t, then shut up," Elder Mo retorted mercilessly. "Don’t make a fool of yourself here."

Feng Cheng was immediately infuriated.

Seeing they were about to start arguing, Luo Xiong’s face darkened, and he barked, "Enough, enough! Don’t you see there are two disciples present? Bickering like this, what a disgrace!"

Fatty hurriedly said, "I didn’t hear anything."

Qin Feiyang also chimed in seriously, "I didn’t see anything either. But becoming your disciple is out of the question. However, if you’re offering to make me your granddaughter’s husband, I might seriously consider it."

"Granddaughter’s husband?" Luo Xiong and Elder Mo were taken aback, their eyes glinting with amusement.

Feng Cheng was stunned for a moment, then he flew into a rage. "You little rascal! Joking about my granddaughter again! I’ll teach you a good lesson today!"

"Tsk. Looking at your old face, I doubt your granddaughter is anything special. I wouldn’t be interested anyway!" Qin Feiyang said, before making a speedy escape.

"My granddaughter isn’t anything special?" Feng Cheng was stunned, then he bellowed furiously, "You little scoundrel, stand right there!"

Luo Xiong quickly grabbed him. "Making such a scene in public at your age! Aren’t you ashamed?" he chided angrily.

"He lost all his shame a long time ago," Elder Mo added, twisting the knife, causing Feng Cheng’s beard to bristle as he seethed with anger.

Seeing the situation turning sour, Fatty also quickly made a run for it.

Once he caught up with Qin Feiyang, he gave him a strange look. "Brother Jian," he asked, "have you ever seen Elder Feng’s granddaughter?"

"No." Qin Feiyang shook his head. "Why do you ask?" he added, puzzled.

"No reason, no reason." Fatty waved his hands repeatedly, but his eyes held a trace of teasing. Wait until you see her in person, then you’ll know what ’extraordinary beauty’ truly means, he thought with a mischievous smirk.

「Back at the Elixir Palace.」

Qin Feiyang went directly to the Elixir Fire Palace and entered Alchemy Room No. 4.

However, he did not practice Alchemy!

He went to the ancient castle and began copying the fourth stroke of the ’Return’ character.

Copying the third stroke had cost him 8,000 Qi Gathering Pills.

The fourth stroke, if things went as expected, should require 32,000.

Fortunately, he was not short of Qi Gathering Pills at the moment.

「Late at night!」

A group of black-clad individuals stormed the Ling Family estate!

They were powerful and their methods vicious. Like Reapers from hell, they reaped life after life with frenzied madness!

Not a single Ling Family disciple or servant survived!

Throughout the entire process, not even a single scream was heard.

Finally, these black-clad individuals also plundered all the Ling Family’s treasures and resources!

In other words, all that remained of the Ling Family now were those dozen or so Clan Elders and Ling Yan.

「The next day.」

This incident triggered a massive uproar!

Everyone was speculating: who could be so malicious as to massacre the Ling Family overnight?

Upon hearing the news, the City Lord was, unsurprisingly, overcome with thunderous rage!

He ordered a thorough investigation!

Their first suspect was none other than Qin Feiyang. After all, in the entirety of Black Bear City, Qin Feiyang’s feud with the Ling Family was the deepest.

But soon, Luo Xiong came forward to clear Qin Feiyang’s name.

Everyone then began to suspect Ling Yunfei.

The Hall Master of the Martial Palace also immediately stepped up to clear Ling Yunfei’s name.

If it wasn’t Qin Feiyang, and it wasn’t Ling Yunfei, then who could it be?

No one could think of a third possibility.

The passage of time did not quell the matter; instead, it continued to ferment and intensify.

However, the culprit had yet to surface.

At the same time, the smaller families started to fish in troubled waters, aspiring to rise meteorically and become the third major family.

But would the Mu Family and Jiang Family allow them to succeed?

They suppressed them with full force!

The situation in Black Bear City grew more chaotic by the day. Undercurrents surged, and open struggles intertwined with secret maneuverings.

Every day, people would disappear without explanation!

「That day.」

Cheng Yi, Ji Jin, Lu Hong, and Ling Yan were finally released from the pigsty.

After a month of being steeped in it, without exception, all four of them reeked to high heaven.

Anyone who encountered them would pinch their noses and make a wide detour.

The four of them clenched their fists, heads bowed, and returned to their residences in silence, their hearts filled with resentment.

They washed and scrubbed, scrubbed and washed, until the stench was completely gone, only then daring to show their faces in public.

The very first thing Ling Yan learned was about his family’s slaughter. A fire of rage ignited within him.

Cheng Yi and the other two were also infuriated beyond measure upon learning that their alchemy room had been occupied!

They silently swore in their hearts: they would definitely repay this humiliation a hundredfold and wash away their previous shame!

「That same day.」

A rumor began to spread among the disciples of the Elixir Palace.

"Have you heard? Jian Haotian is engaged to Elder Feng’s granddaughter."

"He’s just someone who got in through connections, not through real ability."

"That’s right. He only got the right to use Alchemy Room No. 4 because of Elder Feng’s favoritism."

"And here I thought he was actually capable of something. Turns out he’s just a pretty boy leeching off a woman."

"Such a pretentious bastard, it’s disgusting."

"..."

For a time, discussions پسرgossiped heatedly in every corner of the Elixir Palace.

The news quickly reached Feng Cheng’s ears, and he flew into a rage on the spot!

He immediately went to the Elixir Fire Palace.

"Jian Haotian, get your ass out here!" he bellowed, standing furiously outside the door of Alchemy Room No. 4.

"Huh?" Qin Feiyang frowned.

What could Feng Cheng possibly want with him?

He was already halfway through copying the fourth stroke. He had intended to finish it all at once, but now it seemed he would have to pause for the time being.

With that thought, he closed the iron-bound book, and his consciousness returned to the alchemy room.

Just then, Feng Cheng, having lost patience, blasted the stone door open with a palm strike and stormed in.

Seeing this, Qin Feiyang asked suspiciously, "Old Feng, who angered you so much?"

Feng Cheng’s face was grim. "You have the nerve to ask? Tell me, what are these rumors all about?"

"Rumors?" Qin Feiyang frowned.

He’d been in the ancient castle for the entire month; how would he know about any rumors?

Feng Cheng said angrily, "Now everyone is saying that you’re engaged to my granddaughter! You dare say this has nothing to do with you?"

"Engaged?" Qin Feiyang was taken aback, feeling completely baffled.

But suddenly, he remembered.

Last time at the tavern, he had indeed said something like that to Cheng Yi. He just hadn’t expected Cheng Yi to actually make such a big deal out of it.

"Old Feng, please let me explain." Qin Feiyang gave a wry smile. After closing the stone door, he recounted the incident in detail.

After hearing him out, Old Feng frowned and said, "Even so, you shouldn’t have spread such nonsense!"

Qin Feiyang nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes, you’re right. It was my mistake. I apologize to you, and I apologize to your granddaughter."

"If apologies were enough, what would be the need for laws?"

"My granddaughter is still an innocent young maiden. Do you realize how much impact your words have had on her reputation?"

"Kid, you must give me a satisfactory resolution to this quickly. Otherwise, you’ll face the consequences."

Feng Cheng shot him a fierce glare, then flicked his sleeves and stormed off.

Qin Feiyang was extremely annoyed. Cheng Yi, you brought this upon yourself. Don’t blame me for being ruthless! he muttered, his eyes glinting with murderous intent.
