Not long after, an elderly man tore through the air, breaking the silence.

He had white hair and a white beard, his face was covered in wrinkles, but his back was held ramrod straight, and his eyes were extremely spirited.

A palm-sized flame floated above his head.

The flame flickered, filled with a spiritual aura.

Qin Feiyang's eyes lit up when he saw the flame.

Luo Guang nodded at the High Priest but also subtly winked.

"Take it!"

The High Priest waved his hand, and the Elixir Flame flew towards Qin Feiyang.

Qin Feiyang said, "First, remove the Blood Covenant."

Luo Guang snorted coldly. "If you have the ability, remove it yourself. Otherwise, just kill him."

Qin Feiyang's lips curled. He could see through what this man was thinking at a glance. Once he got the Elixir Flame and released the young man, the High Priest would undoubtedly reclaim the flame immediately. Because the Blood Covenant was still in place, the High Priest could control it at will. Even if Qin Feiyang clutched it tightly, the High Priest only needed a mere thought, and the Elixir Flame would break free.

However, it had to be said, Luo Guang was being extremely naïve. Anything that ended up in Qin Feiyang's hands never had a chance of being returned!

WHOOSH!

The Elixir Flame shot through the air and hovered before Qin Feiyang.

Qin Feiyang waved his hand and opened a portal.

"Thinking of leaving? Not a chance!"

A large man beside Luo Guang, who was also a War Emperor, saw Qin Feiyang opening the portal, and his eyes instantly grew cold.

He thrust out his arm and pointed. His Battle Intent surged as he prepared to destroy the portal.

"Stop."

Luo Guang grabbed his wrist and shook his head.

The large man said urgently, "Leader, if we don't stop him, he'll escape."

"Don't worry, he can't escape," Luo Guang said in a low voice, his eyes gleaming with a chilling light.

But he quickly concealed it, lowered his head to look at Qin Feiyang, and said, "Can you release him now?"

"Of course."

Qin Feiyang nodded, abruptly lifted the young man in leopard skin, and threw him towards Luo Guang and his men.

At the same time, he grabbed the Elixir Flame and, without looking back, ran into the portal.

The next moment, the portal vanished quickly.

Luo Guang waved his hand, caught the young man in leopard skin, and frowned. "Are you alright?"

The young man in leopard skin, still shaken, swallowed hard and shook his head. "I'm fine, Father, but you must kill him!"

"He can't run away!"

Luo Guang sneered coldly, turned to look at the High Priest, and said solemnly, "Retrieve the Elixir Flame at once..."

However, before he could finish, he noticed a rigid expression on the High Priest's face, and disbelief filled his old eyes.

Luo Guang frowned and asked, "High Priest, what are you doing? Quickly, take back the Elixir Flame!"

"Leader, I..."

The High Priest stammered, as if faced with an unimaginable situation, and for a long moment couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"What exactly happened? Speak up!" Luo Guang looked anxious.

The High Priest said, "I've lost my connection to the Elixir Flame!"

"What?"

Luo Guang's expression changed.

The War Emperors around him, as well as the tribespeople below, all stared wide-eyed in utter disbelief.

"Just as he entered the portal, I prepared to retrieve the Elixir Flame," the High Priest said.

"But suddenly, it was as if something severed my connection with the Elixir Flame."

"Leader, I'm afraid we've truly lost the Elixir Flame."

"Damn bastard!"

Luo Guang was so enraged he practically jumped.

He had thought the plan was flawless, but he never expected to be outsmarted in the end by a young whelp who hadn't even fully grown.

The young man in leopard skin said anxiously, "Father, quickly send people to find it!"

"Find it?" Luo Guang retorted. "He left using a portal; nobody knows where he went. You tell me how to find him?"

"And I'm puzzled."

"Why did you come out instead of staying in your room?"

"If you hadn't come out and gotten caught by him, could he have stolen the Elixir Flame?"

"You're good for nothing, always sabotaging things!"

"How could I have fathered such an idiotic son!"

The angrier Luo Guang became, the more he spoke, until he finally couldn't resist slapping the young man across the face.

SPLURT!

The young man in leopard skin immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and plunged headfirst towards the ground, his entire head buried in the snow.

He quickly scrambled up.

Half his face was swollen, the bright red slap mark incredibly conspicuous.

Blood streamed unceasingly from the corner of his mouth!

Ignoring the pain, he knelt on the ground and pleaded, "Father, I know I was wrong. Please forgive your son!"

The High Priest said, "Leader, this isn't entirely his fault. It's all because that Qin Feiyang is too cunning."

"Stop defending him all the time; you'll spoil him."

Luo Guang looked at the High Priest with dissatisfaction, then lowered his gaze to the young man and said, "Early tomorrow morning, you will go to Sky Thunder City. If you don't get into the Elixir Tower, never come back. Understood?"

"Your son understands," the young man in leopard skin nodded.

"Also, since Qin Feiyang stole the Elixir Flame, he's likely an Alchemist too."

"He might even go to take the Elixir Tower assessment."

"Once you get to Sky Thunder City, keep a close watch for me. Inform me immediately if you discover anything."

"I absolutely, absolutely will not let him off easy!" Luo Guang spoke with a grim expression, intense killing intent surging in his eyes.

「Meanwhile!」

In a certain place, a mountain range lay.

The mountain range was covered in snow, stretching for dozens of miles, like a colossal white serpent slumbering on the earth.

At this moment, Qin Feiyang stood at a high point on the mountain ridge, overlooking the land below.

Several hundred meters below him was an exceptionally large tribe.

Its scale was comparable to that of the Bright King Tribe.

This was the Black Tortoise Tribe!

After leaving the Bright King Tribe, he had come straight here.

Tonight, no matter what, he had to obtain the Elixir Flames of the three super-tribes!

As for the Elixir Flame of the Bright King Tribe, it was currently in the ancient castle.

And the ancient castle was capable of severing the connection between an Elixir Flame and its master.

That was why the High Priest of the Bright King Tribe had been unable to recall the Elixir Flame.

Qin Feiyang took a deep breath, swallowed a Disguise Pill, and casually altered his appearance.

Then, he executed his Wind Controlling Steps and sped downwards.

His next actions had to be swift!

Otherwise, once the Black Tortoise Tribe and the Purple Sun Tribe received news, they would undoubtedly heighten their guard.

They might even hide their Elixir Flame.

The main gate of the Black Tortoise Tribe was also guarded by two burly men.

The surroundings were utterly silent!

On both sides of the gate, two giant torches, five or six meters long, were planted. They burned fiercely, illuminating the surroundings.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps echoed out.

"Who's there?"

The two burly men instantly became alert and looked towards the direction of the footsteps.

"I mean no harm, gentlemen, don't be alarmed," a calm voice sounded from the darkness.

Qin Feiyang quickly emerged from the shadows and into the two men's line of sight.

"Who are you?"

The two men eyed Qin Feiyang suspiciously.

Qin Feiyang walked up to them, cupped his fist, and said, "I am from the Bright King Tribe. I have urgent business to discuss with your leader."

"Doesn't your Bright King Tribe always enjoy opposing our Black Tortoise Tribe?"

"Why come to us proactively now? Are you plotting something?"

The two men looked at him with hostility.

The three super-tribes had been engaged in open and covert struggles for many years, so their relationships weren't exactly harmonious.

Qin Feiyang said, "This matter is of the utmost urgency. Please, gentlemen, do not delay any further."

"Hmm?"

The two men exchanged glances and asked in surprise, "What matter is so urgent that you'd rush over in the middle of the night?"

Qin Feiyang said, "Our leader instructed that this matter can only be revealed to your leader."

Seeing that Qin Feiyang didn't appear to be lying, the men dared not delay further.

One of them said, "Follow me."

Qin Feiyang followed him, speeding towards the central wooden building.

A hundred breaths later, the two arrived at the entrance of the wooden building.

The burly man knocked on the door and said respectfully, "Leader, someone from the Bright King Tribe has urgent business to discuss."

"Come in."

A resonant voice came from inside.

The burly man pushed the door open, revealing a massive hall about a hundred zhang across.

In the center of the hall was a bonfire.

Nearby, there was a couch.

A burly man, about two meters tall, sat on the couch, exuding an air of rugged dominance.

He had his arms around two delicate-looking women, his hands restlessly exploring beneath their clothes.

Both women were blushing, their eyes shimmering with allure.

The Black Tortoise Leader looked up at Qin Feiyang and frowned. "What do you want with me?"

Qin Feiyang cupped his fist. "Our leader invites you to visit our Bright King Tribe."

The Black Tortoise Leader's hands paused. "What do you mean?"

Qin Feiyang glanced at the two women. "Is it convenient to speak now?"

The Black Tortoise Leader frowned, then patted the women's ample buttocks and chuckled. "I have important matters to discuss. You two can leave first!"

"Then be quick about it!"

The two women gave the Black Tortoise Leader a flirtatious tease, then left giggling and closed the door.

Only Qin Feiyang and the Black Tortoise Leader remained in the hall.

The Black Tortoise Leader said, "You can speak now."

Qin Feiyang said in a low voice, "To be frank, Leader, our High Priest has inadvertently obtained an Elixir Formula and wishes to invite you to study it together."

"Elixir Formula?"

The Black Tortoise Leader was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise, "What Elixir Formula?"

"I'm not entirely clear on the specifics," Qin Feiyang said.

"But our leader instructed me to tell you that if we can successfully refine the pill from this Elixir Formula, the overall strength of our two tribes could double overnight!"

"What!"

The Black Tortoise Leader shot up from his seat, his large pupils filled with utter disbelief.

But then, he sat back down on the couch and sneered, "Your Bright King Tribe would be so kind? Be honest, what is your objective?"

"Absolutely no ulterior motives," Qin Feiyang shook his head. He had assumed this man was all brawn and no brains. Who would have thought he'd be so shrewd?

"Such a wonderful offer? I don't believe your Bright King Tribe would be willing to share a piece of the pie with my Black Tortoise Tribe," the Black Tortoise Leader said.

"Also, why didn't you approach the Purple Sun Tribe?"

"Our leader said he wishes to use this opportunity to form an alliance with your Black Tortoise Tribe and eliminate the Purple Sun Tribe first!" Qin Feiyang stated.

"Our leader also said that if you are unwilling, we will then approach the Purple Sun Tribe to form an alliance."

A flicker of interest showed in the Black Tortoise Leader's eyes, but his gaze turned cold. "Are you threatening me?"

"Leader, please don't misunderstand," Qin Feiyang's eyes flickered, feigning a terrified look as he hastily explained.

"This isn't a threat."

"We are truly sincere. Otherwise, our leader wouldn't have sent me to discuss this with your Black Tortoise Tribe first."
