The tribe outside was in total chaos. The High Priest was dead. The treasures were gone. The Battle Souls had also been stripped away. Furthermore, forty or fifty War Kings had fallen. The overall strength of thetribe had plummeted. They searched everywhere for Qin Feiyang and the Wolf King, swearing not to rest until this grudge was avenged. However, despite scouring the entire tribe, they found no trace of the man and the wolf.

"Where on earth did they go?"

"Come out and face your death!" someone roared repeatedly in fury.

Ho Yuan didn't join the search. He stood where Qin Feiyang had last disappeared, his gaze flickering uncertainly. Every time they disappear, they reappear in the same place, he thought. That's enough to prove the man and wolf haven't left. If I lie in wait here, I should be able to catch them. With that thought, a fierce, chilling light glinted in his old eyes.

However, as time passed without any sign of Qin Feiyang or the Wolf King, he began to doubt himself. Have I misjudged? Did that man and wolf actually leave long ago? His mind was a mess. He didn't know whether to continue his vigil or search elsewhere.

「In the castle!」

Qin Feiyang pricked up his ears, listening intently to the sounds from outside.

"How is it? Is it safe out there?" the Wolf King asked.

"I don't hear anything," Qin Feiyang said. "But I'm worried Ho Yuan might be silently waiting for us. After all, we've gone in and out several times. Anyone with half a brain could figure out something's fishy."

"Don't we have a portal?" the Wolf King said. "Can't we just teleport out?"

Qin Feiyang paused. It was true; they had never tried teleporting out from within the castle. However, the castle is an independent spatial Divine Item. Can we really teleport directly out? Probably not.

He took out a portal and tried, but as expected, it failed. The Wolf King looked a little disappointed, but Qin Feiyang wasn't surprised; it was within his expectations.

"By the way," Qin Feiyang said, as if a thought suddenly struck him. He turned to the Wolf King. "Your Battle Soul—can it strip away anyone's Battle Soul?"

"Of course," the Wolf King nodded, then added, "but it also depends on their cultivation."

"What do you mean?" Qin Feiyang asked, puzzled.

"As long as they're within the same major cultivation realm, my Battle Soul can strip theirs," the Wolf King explained.

Qin Feiyang was startled. "So, even if you're a one-star War King now, you can still strip the Battle Soul of a Nine-Star War King?"

"That's right," the Wolf King confirmed, adding, "But if their cultivation surpasses the War King realm and reaches the War Emperor realm, then it won't work."

Qin Feiyang drew in a sharp breath. Isn't that completely heaven-defying? If the Wolf King breaks through to become a one-star War Emperor, does that mean he could even strip the Battle Souls of Nine-Star War Emperors? With such a terrifying ability, who would dare to oppose him in the future!

The Wolf King grinned proudly. "So, what are the Innate Divine Abilities of your three Battle Souls?"

Qin Feiyang chuckled. "You always like to keep people in suspense, don't you? This time, I'll keep it a secret too."

"Hmph, just three lousy Battle Souls. What's the big deal?" the Wolf King scoffed.

"True, mine are lousy Battle Souls, but I have three of them," Qin Feiyang teased. "Your Battle Soul is powerful, sure, but you only have one. That just proves there's still a bit of a gap between us."

"I'll bite you to death!" The Wolf King bared its fangs and lunged at Qin Feiyang.

Qin Feiyang slapped it away. "Alright, stop fooling around," he said, exasperated. "Let me think seriously about how to get rid of Ho Yuan." Although he wasn't afraid of Ho Yuan, a one-star War Emperor was still a formidable opponent.

"I've got it!" Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He took out a Shape-shifting Pill, tossed it into his mouth, and transformed into an emaciated, white-haired old man.

"Huh?" The Wolf King, still smarting from being slapped away, looked at Qin Feiyang's transformation with surprise. Qin Feiyang now looked exactly like the High Priest of the Ho Tribe.

Is he planning to use this disguise to trick Ho Yuan? Is that even possible? the Wolf King wondered. Ho Yuan already knows the High Priest is dead. If Qin Feiyang goes out looking like this and Ho Yuan sees him, it'll definitely arouse suspicion. This plan won't work at all.

Qin Feiyang chuckled. "I'm not trying to trick him, just distract him. As long as he's distracted, we'll have a chance to ambush." As he spoke, he took out Blue Snow and tossed it to the Wolf King. "The ambush is on you," he said sternly. "You must kill him in one blow!"

"This..." The Wolf King hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, I'll risk it all with him!"

Qin Feiyang then took out a rib bone, examining it. His eyes gleamed. Although this thing isn't as good as Blue Snow, it's undeniably a treasure. Perfect for a sneak attack. He hid the rib bone in his sleeve, then looked at the Wolf King. "Ready?"

"Ready to strike at any moment!" The Wolf King's eyes glinted with a cold light.

Qin Feiyang gave a chilling smile and instantly appeared outside.

Ho Yuan was nearing the end of his patience and was about to search elsewhere. But suddenly, he sensed a presence appear.

"I've been waiting for you!" Murderous intent flared in his eyes. He spun around without hesitation and threw a punch.

However, as he turned, he slammed to a halt, his old face instantly filled with astonishment. The High Priest? But isn't he dead? Instinctively, Ho Yuan glanced back at the wooden building, now a ruin. He had clearly seen the High Priest die in that secret room with his own eyes. How could he suddenly reappear?

"Not good!" he exclaimed. It must be Qin Feiyang, disguised as the High Priest, trying to fool me! Ho Yuan wasn't stupid; he figured it out in an instant.

But just as he did, Qin Feiyang swiftly drew out the rib. Gripping one end with both hands, he wielded it like a club and smashed it fiercely at Ho Yuan's head!

Simultaneously, with a mental command from Qin Feiyang, the Wolf King materialized. Its two rows of steel teeth clamped tightly onto the hilt of Blue Snow, its blade pointing forward! At that moment, the Wolf King was like an arrow shaft, and Blue Snow the arrowhead. Wolf and dagger combined, transforming into a bone-chillingly sharp arrow! The instant it appeared, it shot towards Ho Yuan's lower abdomen!

It all happened in a flash. Just as Ho Yuan turned back, the hard rib smashed onto his forehead.

BANG!

AH!

Instantly, Ho Yuan saw stars and let out a pained howl.

"Damn you!" he roared. "It really is you! Die!" He raised a hand, aiming a slap at Qin Feiyang's head. If it connected, Qin Feiyang's head would undoubtedly explode on the spot!

But just then, the Wolf King and Blue Snow struck. Blue Snow, indestructible, easily tore through Ho Yuan's lower abdomen, pierced his Qi Sea, and shot out from his back. Immediately, a palm-sized, bloody hole appeared in Ho Yuan's lower abdomen, punctured clean through! A shocking gush of crimson blood sprayed from the wound. An agonizing, tearing pain swept over him immediately!

"What happened?" Ho Yuan looked down. When he saw the bloody hole, deep disbelief flooded his old eyes. Could two mere War Kings actually tear open my abdomen and Qi Sea? Am I dreaming?

"AH..." The next moment, he couldn't help but scream.

At the same time, Qin Feiyang and the Wolf King rapidly retreated.

As Ho Yuan screamed, he turned to look at the Wolf King. Seeing the dagger in its mouth, his face twisted into a hideous grimace. Without a doubt, it was that dagger that had pierced his abdomen and Qi Sea! But this is too incredible! What level of dagger is that, to be so terrifying?

"I'll kill you..." Ho Yuan roared hysterically, charging towards the Wolf King.

"What the—" the Wolf King exclaimed. "Your Qi Sea is destroyed, and you still have the strength to run? But now that you're just a cripple, you think I'm still scared of you?" With utter disdain in its eyes, the Wolf King rushed towards Ho Yuan.

However, Ho Yuan didn't manage more than two steps before he collapsed with a THUD, too weak to get up. Darkness was rapidly engulfing his consciousness.

"Huh?" The Wolf King skidded to a halt, trotted to Ho Yuan's head, and chuckled. "Before you die, have a taste of my Holy Water." With that, a jet of urine sprayed out, drenching Ho Yuan's face.

Ho Yuan, eyes glaring and teeth clenched, snarled, "Beast! I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"

"Heh!" the Wolf King cackled. "We'll see about that when you're a ghost. My Holy Water is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Savor it."

PTOO! Ho Yuan spat out a mouthful of dark blood. You goddamned bastard, could you be any more shameless?

At this moment, Qin Feiyang also approached Ho Yuan. "Tell me the coordinates of the Purple Sun Tribe," he said calmly. "Perhaps I can spare your life."

If the Qi Sea is destroyed, as long as the heart and brain are unharmed, death isn't certain, Qin Feiyang assessed. Taking healing pills in time offers a chance of survival. However, high-level healing pills are required; ordinary ones lack this capability. Even if his life is saved, he'll be a cripple for life, unable to cultivate further. A shattered Qi Sea is irreparable.

"My life can be saved?" Ho Yuan was stunned, then sneered. "Unable to cultivate, living would only be more painful. I won't tell you. You can go find it yourselves!"

"Is that so?" Qin Feiyang took out a Top Grade healing pill with two Elixir Patterns and stuffed it into Ho Yuan's mouth. The bloody hole in his abdomen began to mend at a visible rate.

Qin Feiyang sneered. "Now, dying won't be so easy for you. If you talk, I'll give you a quick death." After speaking, Qin Feiyang also consumed an Appearance Recovery Pill and reverted to his original form.

"What kind of healing pill is this?" Ho Yuan exclaimed, his face full of disbelief. "Its medicinal effect is so strong?"

Qin Feiyang's patience wore thin. "Are you going to talk or not?" he barked.

Ho Yuan cackled maniacally. "Kill me, I still won't talk! Use whatever tricks you have!"

Qin Feiyang's expression turned cold. He stood up, grabbed Blue Snow from the Wolf King, and said to it, "Keep torturing him until he talks!"

"Piece of cake!" The Wolf King cackled, immediately setting to work and stopping at nothing.

Instantly, Ho Yuan's anguished screams echoed through the area.

"Release our leader!"

Just then, a large, aggressive group of men rushed over. They were all War Kings!

"Anyone who moves, dies!" Qin Feiyang swept his gaze over them. His icy stare made their bodies and souls tremble.

They surrounded Qin Feiyang and the Wolf King, but not one of them dared to step forward.
