Qin Feiyang had not yet restored his original appearance. So, Yan King did not recognize him.

He looked directly at Yan Nanshan and frowned. "Brother Yan, is there something urgent that you summoned me for?"

Yan Nanshan replied, "Please sit down first. There are two more people who haven't arrived yet."

Yan King frowned. "Hm?" He walked to the side, sat down, and suspiciously eyed Qin Feiyang and his companion.

WHOOSH!!

Not long after, Ma Cheng, along with Elder He, finally arrived at the grand meeting hall.

"Yan King is here too?" They were both taken aback, their eyes filled with confusion.

"Please, both of you, sit," Yan Nanshan said with a smile.

They took their seats next to Yan King in turn.

Yan Nanshan looked at Qin Feiyang.

Qin Feiyang walked to the center of the hall, looked at Ma Cheng, Yan King, and Elder He, and said, "Before we discuss official matters, this junior must first ask: does anyone else know that you've come to the Martial King Palace?"

The three of them shook their heads.

Ma Cheng then furrowed his brow, gave Qin Feiyang a once-over, then looked at Yan Nanshan and asked, "Who is he?"

Yan Nanshan replied, "He's someone you all know well."

"Hm?" The three of them grew even more puzzled.

Qin Feiyang then turned to Elder Wan and Elder Ji, saying, "I must trouble you two Elders to stand guard outside. During this period, no one is to approach the grand meeting hall."

The two Elders nodded, flew out of the hall, and positioned themselves atop it, vigilantly scanning their surroundings.

Ma Cheng, Yan King, and Elder He exchanged bewildered glances.

What could be so serious that it requires such caution?

Qin Feiyang took out a restoring pill and tossed it into his mouth.

Instantly, the three men shot to their feet, staring fixedly at Qin Feiyang, their eyes filled with utter disbelief.

Qin Feiyang said, "Everyone in Yan Province, including those in Pan County, believes that I, Qin Feiyang, am dead. But it's a pity for them—I'm still alive and well."

"How can this be?" Ma Cheng, Yan King, and Elder He looked at Yan Nanshan in astonishment and doubt.

Yan Nanshan said, "Today, this Hall Master will follow Qin Feiyang's arrangements."

The three of them trembled. They all had a premonition that something momentous was about to happen.

Qin Feiyang cupped his fists and said, "Seniors, our Yan Province is no longer the Yan Province of old. A bloody storm is brewing rapidly. Therefore, this junior implores the three of you to temporarily set aside your personal grievances."

The three of them raised their eyebrows and returned to their seats.

Yan King said, "Speak your peace!"

"I have recordings of two conversations here. Once you've heard them, you'll understand what's going on."

Qin Feiyang called Fatty and Lu Hong out and said, "Fatty, first, play the conversation you recorded for the three Seniors to hear."

Fatty took out an Image Crystal Stone. It was the recording of the conversation that had taken place in the Yan Pan Mountains.

As the voices from the recording emerged one after another, the expressions of Ma Cheng, Yan King, and Elder He grew increasingly grim.

When they heard the Crown Prince order Elder Lin to kill Wei Tai, Yan King could no longer control his emotions and slammed his palm onto the armrest.

"Scoundrel!"

"To even kill his own younger brother! This rebellious son truly deserves death!" He was so furious he was practically trembling.

Qin Feiyang said, "Hearing this much, I believe there's no need to continue. The three Seniors should understand what's going on now, right?"

Fatty put away the Image Crystal Stone.

Lu Hong then took out her Image Crystal Stone and said, "Your Majesty Yan King, what I have recorded here is the conversation between the Great Commander of the Royal Family and Zuo An."

Yan King started, his voice deep as he asked, "The Great Commander is also involved in this matter?"

Lu Hong replied, "You'll know once you've heard it."

The Image Crystal Stone emitted wisps of light. A conversation slowly began to play out in the grand hall.

After they finished listening, Yan King clenched his fists tightly, his expression one of utter heartbreak and grief. Ma Cheng and Elder He looked no better.

Qin Feiyang said, "In just over a year, Zuo An's demonic claws have infiltrated the Elixir King Palace, the Lin family, the Royal Family, and the Treasure Pavilion. At this rate, the entire Yan Province will soon be under his control. Once he breaks through to become a Nine-Star War Emperor, I fear it will be the end of Yan Province. Therefore, we must now unite our efforts and wipe out the members of the Blood Slaughter Palace in one fell swoop."

Yan King said in a grave tone, "This is an internal matter of my Royal Family. This King will resolve it himself. There is no need for outsiders to interfere."

Yan Nanshan's expression darkened. "Yan King, what do you mean by that?" he snapped.

Yan King countered, "Has This King said anything wrong?"

Yan Nanshan stated grimly, "Your current actions clearly indicate you intend to shield them! You must understand the severity of this matter!"

"Has This King said he would shield them?" Yan King glared at Yan Nanshan.

Qin Feiyang raised an eyebrow. Even now, he's still playing these games. This man truly doesn't grasp the severity of the situation.

He turned to Ma Cheng and asked, "Hall Master Ma Cheng, what is your decision?"

Ma Cheng replied, "Zuo An must certainly be killed. However, as for Jia Hei and the others, this Hall Master believes we can show leniency. Once Zuo An is dead, they will naturally learn their lesson and repent."

Qin Feiyang was so angry he laughed.

So this is Yan Province's Elixir King Palace? This is Yan Province's Royal Family? Truly disheartening, truly disappointing.

Ren Wushuang said, "Feiyang, since they are so obstinately blind, don't waste any more words. Report this directly to the state office. While you're at it, let the people from the state office give Yan Province a complete overhaul."

Ma Cheng and Yan King glared menacingly at Ren Wushuang.

An 'overhaul' means stripping them of their positions as King and Hall Master. If this matter truly alerted the state office, they probably wouldn't be able to hold onto their positions. They might even lose their lives. This woman is truly vicious!

Ren Wushuang said lightly, "Although this is the first time we've met, I can already see your character. You are not capable of shouldering this important responsibility. It would be better for you to abdicate sooner rather than later and yield your positions to worthier individuals."

Well said! Yan Nanshan silently applauded.

"Who do you think you are? Do you even have the right to speak here?" Ma Cheng and Yan King demanded, their eyes flashing with astonishing murderous intent.

The Lion Headed Hawk instantly erupted with a ferocious aura, glaring viciously at the two men. "You dare speak to my Master like that? Are you courting death?"

Such terrifying ferocity! Ma Cheng and Yan King's pupils contracted.

"Quiet down." Ren Wushuang reached out and patted the Lion Headed Hawk. She glanced at Ma Cheng and Yan King, then smiled at Qin Feiyang. "I have established a contractual bridge with Wang Hong. I'll notify him for you right now."

Qin Feiyang said, "Thank you, Sister."

"Wang Hong! Could it be... you're from the state office?" Yan King and Ma Cheng were aghast.

Ren Wushuang didn't answer, directly taking out an Image Crystal Stone.

"Young Lady, wait!" Yan King hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, saying, "I will follow all of Qin Feiyang's arrangements! I implore you, Young Lady, please be merciful!"

Ma Cheng also immediately declared with an air of righteousness, "Jia Hei and the others colluded with Zuo An! Death is too good for them! I absolutely will not shield them!"

Just a moment ago, they were desperately trying to protect their own. Now, they wore expressions as if they detested evil like a personal enemy. Such hypocritical conduct earned them nothing but contempt from Qin Feiyang and his group.

Ren Wushuang said calmly, "How do I know you won't say one thing to my face and do another behind my back?"

"Absolutely not! We swear!" Yan King and Ma Cheng exclaimed.

"Very well. As long as you obediently follow my younger brother's arrangements, I'll pretend I know nothing." Ren Wushuang put away the Image Crystal Stone.

The two men finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads.

Yan Nanshan smiled and said, "Feiyang, hurry and make the arrangements!"

Qin Feiyang nodded. Actually, he had no intention of reporting to the state office either. Because if he did, it wouldn't just be Ma Cheng and his faction who would be punished, but also Yan Nanshan and his two Elders.

Qin Feiyang sent Fatty and Lu Hong into the ancient castle, then turned and walked out of the grand hall, looking up at the sky. Yan Nanshan and the others followed him out.

By now, the sky had completely darkened. Dense dark clouds had gathered, obscuring the moon and stars, plunging the world into profound darkness.

"Even the heavens are on my side!" A cold light flickered in Qin Feiyang's eyes. "First, we'll clip Zuo An's wings. Target number one: the Elixir King Palace."

"Then let's move out!" Yan Nanshan waved his hand. The group concealed their auras and flew silently towards the Elixir King Palace. As long as they didn't release their Battle Intent, not even the spies stationed outside the gates of the Martial King Palace would be able to detect them.

Qin Feiyang whispered, "Sister, I'm still a bit uneasy. The moment we arrive at the Elixir King Palace, have Old Eagle cripple Jia Hei immediately!"

"Mm," Ren Wushuang nodded.

「The Law Enforcement Hall of the Elixir King Palace.」

Jia Hei was sitting by the tea table in the rest area, daydreaming about a wonderful future.

BANG!

Suddenly, the door was slammed open with great force.

"Who's so audacious?! Are you courting death?" Jia Hei instantly flew into a rage.

"The one dying today isn't me. It's you." Qin Feiyang strode into the rest area.

"How can it be you? Weren't you already dead?" Jia Hei shot to his feet, staring at him in disbelief.

"Very disappointed?" Qin Feiyang smirked.

Jia Hei's gaze instantly turned incomparably sinister. "You truly are hard to kill..."

But before he could finish speaking, Ren Wushuang, Yan Nanshan, and the others entered the rest area one after another. Seeing this assembly, Jia Hei immediately sensed that things were dire.

Ma Cheng looked at him with an expression of profound disappointment, his voice low as he said, "Jia Hei, you have truly disappointed this Hall Master!"

Jia Hei said hurriedly, "Hall Master, listen to my explanation..."

But just then, Ren Wushuang called out sharply, "Old Eagle!"

The Lion Headed Hawk on her shoulder shot out like a bolt of lightning. Before Jia Hei could react, it pierced straight through his chest, leaving a palm-sized, bloody hole! Fresh blood instantly spurted several meters!

A War Emperor, crippled just like that.

Ma Cheng snapped his gaze to Ren Wushuang, his eyes exceptionally dark.

Ren Wushuang said coolly, "Have you forgotten what I said earlier?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Cheng hastily averted his gaze, his eyes filled with apprehension.

Qin Feiyang looked at Jia Hei, who was kneeling on the ground and screaming incessantly. "Elder Wan, please trouble yourself to accompany Elder He and capture Xue Yang and his two companions."

Elder Wan said with a wide smile, "Elder He, after you!"

"HMPH!" Elder He snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Qin Feiyang clearly didn't trust him; otherwise, he wouldn't have had Elder Wan accompany him.

Elder Wan, however, followed with a sneer, striding after him.

Qin Feiyang took out Blue Snow and walked up to Jia Hei, a faint smile on his lips. "You never thought I'd come back for you, did you?"

Jia Hei didn't look at him. Instead, he looked at Ma Cheng and pleaded, "Hall Master, you have to listen to my explanation."

"Your heart is gone. No matter how much you explain, it's still a dead end, isn't it? Besides, you no longer have the chance to explain. Your entire conversation with Zuo An in the Yan Pan Mountains was recorded by me. Senior Ma Cheng already knows about it too." Qin Feiyang said with a smile, a brilliant one at that.

He had wanted to kill this man for a long time; he just never had the opportunity. Now, he could finally remove this malignant tumor.
