Once the middle-aged woman left, Fatty and his companions burst into laughter.
Originally, they thought the middle-aged woman would become their mortal enemy. But who would have thought that she would actually present them with a perfect Battle Technique?
This was a real blessing in disguise. They were so lucky!
The Wolf King moved closer to Qin Feiyang and whispered, "Xiao Qinzi, why don't we make a run for it now!"
"There's no rush."
"That woman shouldn't pose a threat to us now."
"We'll wait till we've obtained the Alchemic Flames of the three tribes."
Qin Feiyang replied, his eyes flashing brightly.
The Wolf King urged, "We should act as soon as possible. As long as we stay here, I can't feel at ease."
"You all go to the old castle to study the Battle Technique. I'm going to talk with the three tribal leaders."
With a wave of his hand, Qin Feiyang sent Fatty and the others to the old castle before heading to the main hall's entrance.
Meanwhile, his mind dove into the two jade slips.
Two streams of information immediately poured into his mind.
The sword technique was called 'Return-to-the-Origin Sword Art'!
It could condense ninety-nine sword shadows.
Each sword shadow was as powerful as a perfect Battle Technique.
At the War King realm, ten sword shadows could be condensed.
At the War Emperor realm, twenty sword shadows.
And so on.
The auxiliary Martial Arts Technique was called 'Phantom Step'.
It was also a perfect Battle Technique.
Every step taken would leave behind a phantom, which could confuse the enemy's eyes.
It could play a crucial role in actual battles.
A moment later, Qin Feiyang withdrew his mind and stored the three jade slips.
Phantom Step!
Return-to-the-Ruin Art!
Return-to-the-Origin Sword Art!
Unbelievably, I gained three perfect Battle Techniques on this trip. The wise old saying is true, it's difficult to predict anything in life.
Originally, I despised that ugly old hag. However, now I actually feel a sense of gratitude towards her. Without the pressure from her that brought me into the Land of Oblivion, how could I have encountered such an opportunity?
Soon, Qin Feiyang reached the entrance of the main hall.
The three tribal leaders were standing respectfully outside the door.
The guards watching them were full of schadenfreude.
"Ahem!"
Qin Feiyang glanced at them and coughed lightly.
Immediately, everyone looked up at him, their eyes flashing with cold light.
Qin Feiyang smiled faintly and said, "Now we're on the same side. There's no need for such hostility, is there?"
"Who's on your side?"
The three tribal leaders and the guards all glared furiously.
Qin Feiyang shook his head, ignored them, walked up to the three tribal leaders, and said with a smile, "I need a favor from you."
The scaly old man snarled, "Just say what you want and quit beating around the bush!"
Qin Feiyang said, "Go back immediately and fetch your Alchemic Flames for me."
"Outrageous! You're even coveting our Alchemic Flames!"
"Don't push your luck!"
"You want our Alchemic Flames? Over our dead bodies!"
All three leaders shouted in anger, fuming.
"The Lady and I are partners, while you are her slaves. Speaking to me in this manner, aren't you afraid the Lady will be angry?" Qin Feiyang teased.
The old hag spoke, "The Lady is reasonable. She definitely won't endorse your arbitrary actions!"
"I'm not being arbitrary. I need your Alchemic Flames to help the Lady with her alchemy."
"If you don't hand them over, I'll have to consult the Lady," Qin Feiyang chuckled.
"I don't believe you!" the old hag snapped back.
"Starting from today, Qin Feiyang is your young master. His words are my words. Anyone who disobeys will be executed!"
Just then, the middle-aged woman's voice echoed from the second floor.
"What?"
"Young Master?!"
The group of guards were furious, their eyes wide open in disbelief.
Not long ago, Qin Feiyang was the Lady's enemy. But now, he had suddenly become their young master?
The faces of the three tribal leaders turned even grimmer.
They were highly regarded Three Star War Emperors, yet they had been reduced to slaves. However, Qin Feiyang, merely a War King, was so greatly favored by the Lady?
What's so special about this kid? Is it just because he's slightly gifted and knowledgeable in alchemy? Besides that, what else is there?
"Master, I won't submit!" the old hag roared.
"If you won't submit, then die!" The middle-aged woman's cold voice echoed out.
At that moment, her flesh began to split in several places, blood spurting out, as if her body was on the brink of exploding.
"AAAAAAAAAAH!"
The old hag screamed in pain and promptly dropped to her knees, pleading, "Spare me, Master! I was wrong! I won't have any objections anymore!"
"Remember your words today. If there's a next time, there will be no mercy!" the middle-aged woman spoke, her voice carrying a bone-chilling killing intent.
As her words fell, the wounds on the old hag's body stopped splitting further.
"Thank you, Master, for sparing my life."
After gratefully thanking the Lady, the old hag immediately swallowed a healing pill.
Immediately after, she turned to look at Qin Feiyang, knelt before him, and said respectfully, "Greetings to the Young Master."
"Greetings to the Young Master!"
The burly man, the scaly old man, and the group of guards also knelt one after the other.
Young Master? Qin Feiyang was taken aback. I'm still not quite used to this sudden new status.
"Ahem!"
"All of you, get up!"
"Let bygones be bygones."
"From now on, let's help and support each other," Qin Feiyang said with a smile.
"Yes."
The crowd bowed and assented. They then rose to their feet and stood respectfully to one side.
Qin Feiyang said, "Leaders, I must trouble you to make this trip. Please retrieve the Alchemic Flames as quickly as possible and return."
"Yes."
"We will immediately fetch the Alchemic Flames."
How could the three dare to voice any objection? Hurriedly, they rushed high into the sky, transformed into streaks of light, and flew away with lightning speed.
Qin Feiyang's exterior was calm, but inwardly, he felt quite nervous.
If the Alchemic Flames from the three tribes are all first-grade, it won't be of much significance. I hope all my excitement hasn't been for nothing!
In the midst of endless anticipation, less than an hour later, the three leaders finally returned.
WHOOSH!
The trio landed in front of Qin Feiyang, presenting the Alchemic Flames with their hands, and respectfully said, "Please accept this, Young Master."
The three clusters of Alchemic Flames were each encased in a Battle Intent barrier, so no heat could be felt.
"Open the barrier."
Qin Feiyang's eyes sparkled.
"Yes."
With a shift in their thoughts, the barriers disintegrated instantaneously.
A wave of intense heat, like a flood, rolled out in all directions. Although it was hot, it was within a tolerable range.
Qin Feiyang waved his hand, gathered the three clusters of Alchemic Flames, and headed into the ancient castle.
Fatty and the others were all concentrating on comprehending the Battle Techniques.
Only Lu Hong was not, because she had not yet become a War King and was unable to comprehend the techniques.
"Who would have thought that woman would declare you the Young Master. If you stay here, your future prospects would be limitless," Lu Hong said jestingly as she stood up.
"I feel the same," Qin Feiyang laughed.
"Did you notice that woman is exactly like you were before?" Lu Hong said.
"Really?" Qin Feiyang was momentarily stunned.
"Yes!"
"Think about it, back in Yan Province, perfect Martial Arts Techniques were priceless, but you handed out several of them quite casually."
"Now, that woman did the same, casually giving away several perfect Battle Techniques."
"Therefore, I suspect that her status is likely no less than yours," Lu Hong said.
"Now that you mention it, I do see some similarities between her and me," Qin Feiyang chuckled. He slit his wrist and began the blood-bonding process.
Having had the experience of bonding with the Netherworld Demon Flame, he knew what to do.
Soon, he successfully bound them.
Information about the three Alchemic Flames also poured into his mind.
"How was it?" Lu Hong asked.
"There is only one second-grade Alchemic Flame," he said, and with a wave of his hand, that second-grade Alchemic Flame flew towards the Netherworld Demon Flame.
The Netherworld Demon Flame revived once more on its own and began to devour the Alchemic Flame.
The remaining two Alchemic Flames were undoubtedly first-grade.
Lu Hong frowned and said, "Where are we going to find Alchemic Flames now?"
"You just concentrate on your cultivation; I'll figure something out," Qin Feiyang said. He casually tossed the two first-grade Alchemic Flames aside, then left the castle and appeared before the three tribal leaders.
He looked at the three tribal leaders and asked, "Are there any other tribes nearby that have Alchemic Flames?"
"No more," the three tribal leaders shook their heads after thinking for a moment.
Looks like I'll have to leave, Qin Feiyang mumbled to himself. His eyes flashed, and he asked, "Where does Meng Yiping reside?"
"Young Master, I can take you there!" a guard volunteered with an obsequious look on his face.
"Alright, lead the way," Qin Feiyang smiled.
A few moments later, the guard led Qin Feiyang to the front of a pavilion.
There were also four guards on duty outside the entrance of the pavilion.
The guard leading the way barked imperiously, "The Lady has already decreed that Qin Feiyang will be our Young Master. Now quickly salute him!"
"Greetings, Young Master!" the four guards quickly knelt and paid their respects.
In fact, even without the guard's instructions, they were already aware. They had all heard the middle-aged woman's orders.
Qin Feiyang turned to the guard and said, "You can go back; I'll go in myself."
"Yes, this humble servant will take his leave," the guard scurried away.
What a bunch of opportunists. A flash of disdain passed through Qin Feiyang's eyes. He turned, strode into the pavilion, and entered the guest hall.
The guest hall was empty.
But soon, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, Meng Yiping descended from the second floor.
"What are you doing here?"
"Don't think that just because you are now the Young Master, you can order me around."
"Let me tell you, I'm still in control of the Meng Family," Meng Yiping frowned and said solemnly.
"Are you really in charge?"
"The Lady herself said you two are not a couple, so don't put on an act in front of me," Qin Feiyang sneered dismissively.
"What?"
"She even said that!"
Meng Yiping was shocked and quickly bowed, saying, "Greetings, Young Master."
"That's more like it," Qin Feiyang gave a cold laugh and asked, "Do you know the coordinates of the Purple Sun Tribe and Sky Thunder City?"
"Your servant does," Meng Yiping nodded.
"Tell me," Qin Feiyang said.
Meng Yiping frowned and asked, "May I ask, Young Master, did you get the Lady's approval?"
"What do you think?" Qin Feiyang sneered.
Meng Yiping's gaze trembled, and he quickly disclosed the coordinates of Sky Thunder City and the Purple Sun Tribe.
Heaven rewards the diligent! I finally have the coordinates. It's time to skedaddle! Qin Feiyang muttered to himself. Without hesitation, he took out a teleportation gate and quickly activated it.
Then, under Meng Yiping's respectful gaze, he stepped into it.
When the teleportation gate disappeared, Meng Yiping's expression contorted.
Originally, I wanted to avenge my father, but I never expected Qin Feiyang to become the Young Master!
"Father!"
"Your unworthy son is unable to seek revenge for you!" He lowered his head, his fists clenched, his eyes filled with pain.
That's not right!
「Suddenly.」
Meng Yiping shot his head up, his eyes twinkling. Since Qin Feiyang just became the Young Master, why is he in such a hurry to go to Sky Thunder City and the Purple Sun Tribe? There must be something fishy going on!
In a flash, he sprinted out of the guest hall and flew towards the main hall where the middle-aged woman was.
