Immortal God of War-Chapter 90: Misfortune Moves East_1

Inside the ancient fortress.

After taking the healing pill, Qin Feiyang listened carefully to the activity outside. Ling Yunfei, on the other hand, looked around in bewilderment.

A moment later, he finally regained his senses, turned to Qin Feiyang, and asked, "Where is this? How did we get in here?"

This reaction was exactly the same as Qin Feiyang’s when he first entered the ancient fortress.

Qin Feiyang’s eyes flashed slightly as he said, "You just need to know that it’s safe to hide here. Don’t ask anything else."

This guy is even more mysterious than I expected, Ling Yunfei muttered to himself.

It was truly magical. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that such a place existed in the world.

Several hundred breaths later, the rumbling sound outside finally stopped. Immediately after, a series of footsteps sounded, gradually fading away.

Ling Yunfei asked, "Have they left?"

Qin Feiyang nodded.

Ling Yunfei asked again, "When will we leave?"

After a moment of contemplation, Qin Feiyang said in a deep voice, "Some Sawtooth Crocodiles are definitely lurking nearby. It would be best to heal our injuries first before we leave."

"Alright." Ling Yunfei nodded. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he said, "Right, in one month, people from the Martial King Palace will come to Black Bear City. At that time, we might have to part ways."

His tone was filled with deep reluctance. Although they hadn’t known each other for long, in Ling Yunfei’s heart, Qin Feiyang was the first friend he had ever had. Therefore, he treasured this friendship dearly.

"Martial King Palace?" Qin Feiyang was slightly startled, then smiled. "No, we won’t. Because in one month, people from the Elixir King Palace will also come. Maybe we can even go to Yan City together!"

"Oh, really? That’s wonderful!" Ling Yunfei was instantly overjoyed, his happiness showing on his face.

"Heh, focus on your healing!" Qin Feiyang smiled, not wanting to waste a single moment. He walked over to the iron box, opened it with a drop of blood, took out the iron-covered book, and continued to practice the fourth stroke.

Witnessing this, Ling Yunfei’s face was full of suspicion.

Qin Feiyang glanced at him and said, "There’s nothing to see. Focus on healing your injuries, and refine some Qi Gathering Pills for your cultivation while you’re at it."

"Oh." Ling Yunfei responded but didn’t move. He stood to the side, looking like he wanted to say something but was hesitating.

"What’s wrong?" Qin Feiyang was confused.

Ling Yunfei blushed, looked at him awkwardly, and asked, "Do you have any extra Qi Gathering Pills? I left all of mine in the cultivation room at the Martial Palace."

"UH!" Qin Feiyang was dumbfounded.

Ling Yunfei quickly said, "Don’t worry, it’s not that I’m short of Qi Gathering Pills. Once we get back, I’ll immediately repay you double."

Qin Feiyang’s face twitched, and he said, speechless, "I’m not worried about you not being able to pay me back. I’m just puzzled why you would leave your Qi Gathering Pills in the cultivation room? Shouldn’t cultivation resources always be carried with you?"

"I’d like to, but the Hall Master doesn’t allow it." Ling Yunfei had a helpless expression.

"Why?" Qin Feiyang was even more baffled.

"The Hall Master is afraid I’ll give them away privately," Ling Yunfei said.

Qin Feiyang was stunned. Is there really such a thing in the world?!

Ling Yunfei smiled and said, "Actually, it’s not too bad. Other Disciples can only get a few hundred Qi Gathering Pills each month at most. If that’s not enough, they have to earn more themselves. But I can have as many as I want."

Hearing this, Qin Feiyang started to feel envious. This way, Ling Yunfei only needed to focus on his cultivation and didn’t have to worry about resources at all. It was nothing like the Elixir Palace, where Qin Feiyang had to figure out how to find medicinal ingredients himself.

"Take these Qi Gathering Pills and use them!" He took a Qiankun Bag from his robes and tossed it to Ling Yunfei. It contained at least twenty to thirty thousand Qi Gathering Pills.

"So many?" Ling Yunfei caught it and looked inside, utterly dumbfounded.

"Don’t worry, they’re a gift. You don’t need to return them." Qin Feiyang gave a faint smile, turned his gaze back to the iron-covered book, and continued practicing.

He really is generous, Ling Yunfei shook his head and muttered to himself. This person must have a powerful backer.

Little did he know that just a few months ago, Qin Feiyang had been living in poverty; even a dozen Gold Coins would have been a huge fortune to him.

As Qin Feiyang had expected, some of the Sawtooth Crocodiles outside had returned to the lake and sunk to the bottom, while others remained lurking in the woods. On the surface, the area seemed extremely calm, with no hint of danger. But anyone who stepped into this area, regardless of who they were, would face a perilous situation with only a slim chance of survival.

Jiang Sen was one such unlucky person. He had been ordered to investigate the situation. But when he arrived, apart from the devastated land, he didn’t see a single soul. As soon as he entered the Sawtooth Crocodiles’ attack range, the lurking crocodiles leaped out, baring their terrifying fangs as they pounced on him! The four King Sawtooth Crocodiles also appeared at the first opportunity. Although he possessed the cultivation of a one-star Martial Ancestor, he only managed to escape the area at the cost of an arm.

Similarly, Qin Feiyang also heard the commotion outside. Although he didn’t know yet if they were after him, he had at least learned that there were other people in this mountain range—and they were quite formidable!

Time slipped by.

「Early the next morning.」

Qin Feiyang closed the iron-covered book, turned to Ling Yunfei, and instructed, "Once we get out, don’t stop for any reason. Escape this area immediately!"

"Mhm." Ling Yunfei nodded.

In fact, their injuries had healed completely by the previous night. But facing Sawtooth Crocodiles, which were adept at disguise and ambush, breaking out at night was clearly unrealistic. Therefore, the two chose to make their attempt during the day.

Today was also overcast.

HUFF... Qin Feiyang took several deep breaths. Although he was mentally prepared, he couldn’t help but feel tense. After a few breaths, he let out a long sigh, firmly grabbed Ling Yunfei, and they instantly appeared outside.

WHOOSH!!

Without the slightest pause, the two activated their Smoke Step and Return to Origin Step respectively, sprinting towards Black Bear City.

ROAR!!!

A series of deafening roars instantly erupted. The four King Sawtooth Crocodiles reappeared, but this time on either side of Qin Feiyang and Ling Yunfei. Ahead, only ordinary Sawtooth Crocodiles blocked their path. Despite this, they couldn’t afford to be careless. The King Sawtooth Crocodiles’ speed far exceeded theirs; any slight delay and they would be overtaken!

CLANG!

Qin Feiyang drew Blue Snow. Ling Yunfei executed his Heart Locking Kill Fist, each blow aimed to be lethal! The two were like human-shaped T-Rexes, coordinating seamlessly as they frantically carved a bloody path forward!

However, this rampant slaughter thoroughly enraged the four King Sawtooth Crocodiles. Radiating a terrifyingly hostile aura, they led hundreds of other Sawtooth Crocodiles in relentless pursuit! Wherever they passed, mountains crumbled and the earth split, leaving devastation in their wake. The tremors could be felt hundreds of meters away!

"Why is there a sudden earthquake?"

"Could it be a Beast Tide?"

Members of the Jiang and Mu families were still searching for Qin Feiyang and Ling Yunfei nearby. Hearing the commotion, they were all greatly alarmed and puzzled.

"Let’s go check it out!" The Jiang Clan Elder waved his hand, and the twenty-odd people immediately ran over.

"It’s the Sawtooth Crocodiles!" Upon seeing the horde of crocodiles, Jiang Sen’s face turned deathly pale.

"Why are all the Sawtooth Crocodiles swarming out like this?" everyone exclaimed in bewildered alarm.

"Look! Aren’t those Jian Haotian and Ling Yunfei?" someone suddenly shouted.

The others all looked and immediately spotted Qin Feiyang and Ling Yunfei in front of the crocodile horde.

"It really is them!"

"So, the crocodile rampage yesterday must have been their doing too?"

"Unbelievable! They actually dared to provoke these ferocious brutes!"

"What should we do now?"

"We don’t need to do anything. We can just watch. Sooner or later, they’ll be torn to shreds by the crocodile horde."

The twenty-odd people stood side by side on a small hillock, arms crossed, their faces filled with schadenfreude.

While fleeing, Ling Yunfei suddenly noticed them. His pupils contracted sharply as he said in a low, serious voice, "How can they be here?"

Qin Feiyang followed his gaze and frowned. Could the people from yesterday be them?

A glint flashed in his eyes as he whispered, "Let’s go! Over there!"

"Okay." Ling Yunfei nodded.

The two abruptly changed direction and ran towards the members of the Jiang and Mu families.

"Esteemed seniors, quickly, quickly! According to the plan! Let’s catch them all in one go!" Qin Feiyang shouted anxiously as he ran.

What plan? Ling Yunfei paused, startled, looking at Qin Feiyang in confusion. How come I don’t know about it?

The people from the Jiang and Mu families were also utterly bewildered.

"What are you still standing there for? Make your move! Otherwise, Ling Yunfei and I are dead!"

"You’re not planning to just stand by and watch us die, are you?"

"Don’t forget, you’re the ones who asked Ling Yunfei and me to lure them over! You can’t do this to us!"

"Worst case, after they’re killed, I won’t take a single Gold Coin from selling their remains! I just beg you to save me!" Qin Feiyang shouted repeatedly.

The members of the Jiang and Mu families, however, grew even more puzzled. Does this little bastard have a problem with his brain?

However, they failed to notice that the gazes of the four King Sawtooth Crocodiles were already locked onto them, their enormous pupils flashing with a terrifying, murderous light!

"Esteemed seniors, please, lend us a hand!" Although Ling Yunfei didn’t understand what was happening, he cooperated perfectly, pleading with the twenty-odd people for help. His tone and expression were utterly sincere.

"Help?" The people from the Jiang and Mu families sneered.

Jiang Sen, however, was terrified and urged, "Clan Elder, those four King Sawtooth Crocodiles are unfathomably powerful! We need to leave, quickly!"

The Jiang Clan Elder didn’t give the order, instead turning to look at the Mu Clan Elder. The Mu Clan Elder said, "There’s no need for pointless sacrifices."

"Alright then, we retreat!" The Jiang Clan Elder waved his hand, and the twenty-odd people turned and plunged into the forest without looking back.

Precisely as they turned, Qin Feiyang grabbed Ling Yunfei and they vanished into the ancient fortress.

But the four King Sawtooth Crocodiles didn’t stop their pursuit. Leading their pack of underlings, they chased menacingly after the members of the Jiang and Mu families!

"Huh? Where are Jian Haotian and Ling Yunfei?" The Mu Clan Elder glanced back, his face instantly filled with shocked disbelief. Weren’t they just here a moment ago? How did they suddenly vanish into thin air?

The others also looked back, equally bewildered.

"Something’s wrong!"

"They’re gone, so shouldn’t the crocodile horde have stopped? Why are they still charging this way?"

"Oh no, the crocodile horde is coming for us now!"

"I get it! Those nonsensical things Jian Haotian was shouting earlier were to mislead the four King Sawtooth Crocodiles! They must think we’re allied with Jian Haotian and Ling Yunfei!"

"That little bastard! He’s so cunning!"

"Quick, retreat!" The twenty-odd people, absolutely livid, turned and fled.
