Immortal God of War-Chapter 92 Rush of Anger_1

Red Fire Glazed Tree!

Upon hearing this name, Ling Yunfei’s mind reeled. This thing... it can only be described as a supreme treasure! Indeed, the leaves of the Red Fire Glazed Tree were the main ingredients for refining Vermilion Glazed Pills!

The Vermilion Glazed Pill possessed an astonishingly divine effect: any Martial Artist below the War King realm could instantly advance one step in their Cultivation Realm by consuming a single pill! For instance, if Qin Feiyang took one now, he could immediately break through to become a Five Star Martial Master!

Who wouldn’t be tempted by such a divine effect?

It was no exaggeration to say that if news of this Red Fire Glazed Tree spread, it would undoubtedly unleash a bloody storm in Black Bear City!

However, nothing in the world was ever perfect. Each person could only consume one Vermilion Glazed Pill in their lifetime; a second one would be ineffective and a pure waste. Despite this limitation, it was still enough to drive anyone into a frenzy!

Qin Feiyang and Ling Yunfei crouched beside the small tree, their eyes gleaming brightly. They had never expected to stumble upon such a treasure. The vicissitudes of life were truly hard to fathom. If Ling Yunfei hadn’t thrown the shell of the Alligator King away in a fit of anger just now, they would have certainly missed this little tree. And no one would have ever imagined that such a supreme treasure lay hidden beneath that old shell!

"ROAR!"

A thunderous roar suddenly echoed.

Is the Alligator King back? they both wondered, startled.

Ling Yunfei hurriedly said, "Quickly pull it out, let’s get out of here!"

Qin Feiyang grabbed the tree trunk, pulled it out roots and all, and stored it in his Qiankun Bag.

Immediately, they both leaped out of the pit and fled into the jungle without a backward glance.

BANG!!!

Accompanied by a series of deafening crashes, the Alligator King indeed returned with the four other King Alligators. But when it returned to the pit and discovered the Red Fire Glazed Tree missing, it flew into a thundering rage, its roars shaking the heavens!

Hearing the roars, Qin Feiyang and Ling Yunfei broke out in cold sweats, fleeing for their lives, terrified the Alligator King would pursue them. Only once they reached the riverbank did they stop. Without caring about appearances, they collapsed onto the ground, drenched in sweat, panting like oxen!

"Do you think everyone from the Jiang and Mu families is dead?" Ling Yunfei asked.

"Is there even a need to ask? They’re definitely all gone," Qin Feiyang stated.

"Although we were ambushed, getting a Red Fire Glazed Tree makes it all worthwhile!" Ling Yunfei exclaimed, laughing heartily.

"Indeed," Qin Feiyang nodded, a wide smile spreading across his face.

Ultimately, they should be thanking the City Lord, Qin Feiyang mused. If not for his meticulous schemes to harm them, how could they have obtained this treasure? As the saying goes, one good turn deserves another. In the future, I will definitely ’repay’ him handsomely!

"Phew!" Ling Yunfei let out a long breath, sidled up to Qin Feiyang, and asked, "When we get back, who are you planning to ask to help refine the Vermilion Glazed Pills?"

Qin Feiyang was taken aback and replied, momentarily speechless, "I can refine pills myself. Why would I need anyone’s help? Besides, do you really think others would help refine them for free? How naive." If he really asked someone else, they would undoubtedly take a share; how could that be cost-effective?

"You?" Ling Yunfei looked at him skeptically, clearly doubting Qin Feiyang’s ability to refine the pills.

"What about me?" Qin Feiyang was puzzled.

Ling Yunfei said derisively, "You’ve only been in the Elixir Palace for a month. I doubt you can even refine Body-refining Elixirs, let alone Vermilion Glazed Pills. Don’t you dare go wasting the leaves of the Red Fire Glazed Tree!"

Qin Feiyang’s face twitched. So in this guy’s eyes, I’m that incompetent? Fine! He couldn’t be bothered to argue, deciding to prove it with actions later.

Ling Yunfei chuckled. "Don’t be angry, buddy. I was just speaking my mind. Oh right, let me ask you something."

"What?" Qin Feiyang asked.

Ling Yunfei asked curiously, "Those Top Grade elixirs Fatty sold last time, who actually refined them?"

"I don’t know," Qin Feiyang shook his head.

Ling Yunfei asked, "Really don’t know, or pretending not to know?"

Qin Feiyang’s eyes darted around. "Well, if I told you I refined them, would you believe me?"

"I’d sooner believe in ghosts than believe you!" Ling Yunfei rolled his eyes, clearly unconvinced. He stood up. "I haven’t been home for days; my mother must be worried about me. Let’s go, we should head back."

"I’m not planning to go back right now," Qin Feiyang shook his head.

"Not going back? Then where are you planning to go?" Ling Yunfei paused, looking at him in confusion.

"If we go back now, and the City Lord discovers we’re not dead, he’ll definitely try to come up with more ways to deal with us. Rather than suffer that, it’s better to hide and cultivate in seclusion for a month. We’ll return when the people from the Elixir King Palace arrive," Qin Feiyang said. He didn’t have that much time to waste on such an insignificant person.

"That seems reasonable... but if I don’t go back, my mother..." Ling Yunfei hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth. "Forget it! The worst that can happen is I’ll have to slowly apologize and make it up to Mother when I get back."

「Subsequently」

The two of them hid in the ancient castle and began their secluded cultivation.

The Alligator King continued to wreak havoc in the mountain range, disturbing the peace for several thousand meters around. Anyone hunting nearby suffered an undeserved calamity.

「Eventually」

Unable to find the thief who had stolen the Red Fire Glazed Tree, it had no choice but to give up and return to its lair.

「Late that night」

Two one-armed old men, covered in blood and wounds, appeared outside the city gates of Black Bear City. They were precisely the Grand Clan Elders of the Mu Family and Jiang Family! Out of more than twenty people, only these two had escaped with their lives; everyone else had died at the jaws of the Alligator King. Although they managed to escape by a hair’s breadth, they had both lost an arm. The Jiang and Mu families had paid a terrible price for this mission to hunt Qin Feiyang; they not only failed their objective but also suffered heavy casualties.

Their appearance did not cause much of a stir. Two guards on duty promptly led them to the City Lord’s mansion.

Seeing their miserable state, the City Lord was greatly surprised, but his primary concern was whether Qin Feiyang was dead or alive. Both Clan Elders swore vehemently that Qin Feiyang and Ling Yunfei were dead. Because at that time, they personally witnessed Qin Feiyang and Ling Yunfei running in the direction of the Alligator King. They had not seen them since, which was enough to conclude that the two had been swallowed alive by the Alligator King.

Although they didn’t see the bodies, the City Lord was thoroughly convinced. The two Grand Clan Elders possessed considerable strength; it was impossible for them to have failed. Furthermore, he firmly believed they wouldn’t dare lie to his face.

「The next day」

Notices were posted at all four city gates. The notices essentially stated that the perpetrator behind the Ling Family massacre had been apprehended and had died in prison, urging the public to stop discussing the matter. However, the identity of the true culprit was not announced. Thus, no one knew what the real culprit looked like, much less their identity. Some who harbored doubts only dared to discuss them in private. Nevertheless, with the posting of the notices, the Ling Family massacre was finally considered a closed Chapter.

Black Bear City gradually returned to calm. But that was only on the surface. Beneath the surface, the various major families were still engaged in fierce, covert struggles. However, rivalries between families were a daily occurrence, as common as everyday meals. As long as they didn’t cause too great a commotion, no one paid them much mind.

「Days passed by」

As days turned into weeks with no sign of Qin Feiyang or Ling Yunfei, Luo Xiong and the Hall Master of the Martial Palace began to grow uneasy.

「One day」

The Hall Master of the Martial Palace personally visited the Elixir Palace to discuss countermeasures with Luo Xiong. After searching the entire city, they extended their search to the areas outside it. Yet, despite the two major powers having turned an area hundreds of *li* in radius completely upside down, they still couldn’t find Qin Feiyang or Ling Yunfei.

At this point, Luo Xiong and the Hall Master couldn’t help but begin to suspect that the two might have already perished somewhere. They even considered the grim possibility that the two had been secretly murdered! However, without any evidence, they dared not question anyone directly. Their only recourse was to dispatch men to investigate covertly, hoping to find some clues. But even by the time the representatives from the Martial King Palace and the Elixir King Palace arrived in Black Bear City, there was still no news of them.

「In the Elixir Palace’s reception hall!」 freēnovelkiss.com

The topmost seat, which should have been occupied by Luo Xiong, was currently occupied by a young man in a purple robe. He seemed to be in his mid-twenties. He possessed an upright stature and an elegant, refined demeanor, exuding an air of gentle scholarliness. A kindly smile adorned his handsome face. This man was the representative from the Elixir King Palace, fully responsible for the upcoming assessment. However, at this moment, only Elder Mo was present to receive him; Luo Xiong and Feng Cheng were nowhere to be seen.

After a moment, the purple-robed youth set down his teacup, turned to Elder Mo, and asked with a smile, "Elder Mo, a full hour has passed. Why isn’t Hall Master Luo here yet? If he’s occupied with something important, let’s not disturb him. You can simply fetch the list of candidates and give it to me."

"Well..." Elder Mo hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Perhaps I should go and see?"

"That would be good. Please be quick," the purple-robed youth nodded with a smile.

Elder Mo rose and quickly made his way to Luo Xiong’s private courtyard. Without knocking, he pushed the door open and went straight in. Luo Xiong and Feng Cheng were sitting on the stone benches in the courtyard, both looking gloomy and silent. The atmosphere in the courtyard was exceptionally heavy!

Elder Mo strode over and frowned. "What are you two still doing sitting here? That Lin Chen is about to lose his patience! And the list of candidates for tomorrow’s assessment—have you finalized it yet?"

Feng Cheng abruptly lifted his head and snapped, "Jian Haotian still hasn’t been found! How can we finalize any list?"

"Are we supposed to drag this out indefinitely if Jian Haotian is never found?" Elder Mo retorted. "I admit, Jian Haotian’s talent in the Dao of Alchemy is unparalleled. But we cannot break the rules for his sake! Much less can we jeopardize the future of other Disciples because of him! You are both leaders of the Elixir Palace; do I really need to remind you of this?"

Feng Cheng glared at Elder Mo. Luo Xiong, however, remained silent.

"Sigh!" After a long silence, Luo Xiong heaved a light sigh. "Old Feng, Jian Haotian still hasn’t returned by now. It’s likely he’s met with misfortune. We should probably... move on as if he’s no longer with us."

Feng Cheng shook his head. "No! He’s such a clever young man. How could he possibly have died out there? I refuse to believe it."

Luo Xiong pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, you go search for him again. If he still hasn’t been found by tomorrow morning, I’ll have no choice but to give the internally decided spot to Cheng Yi."

Elder Mo frowned and said, "Hall Master, Lin Chen wants the list now."

Luo Xiong waved his hand. "It’s fine. I’ll go speak with him. He can have the list tomorrow. I believe he’ll grant me this small courtesy. Old Mo, you accompany Old Feng and continue the search."

"Understood," Elder Mo nodded.

Luo Xiong stood up, left the private courtyard, and walked towards the reception hall, his brow furrowed with worry the entire way.

In the private courtyard, Feng Cheng grew increasingly incensed the more he thought about it. That damn brat! When I find you, I’ll skin you alive! He slammed his palm fiercely on the stone table before him, then shot to his feet. His face grim, he swiftly left the Elixir Palace with Elder Mo to continue searching for news.
