The Black Tortoise Chief stared at Qin Feiyang for a moment and asked, "Are you sure everything you've said is true?"

"If you don't believe me, Chief, you can go to our tribe first and ask our own chief."

"Besides, Chief, with your formidable strength, if we harbored any ill intentions towards you, you could simply leave. None of us could stop you," Qin Feiyang said.

"That much is true. Your Bright King Tribe indeed lacks the power to stop me."

"If you genuinely harbored malicious intent, I'd have the perfect excuse to destroy your tribe and slaughter all your people."

"Alright, this Chief will accompany you."

The Black Tortoise Chief licked his lips, a bloodthirsty glint flickering in his eyes, as he rose and prepared to open a portal.

Qin Feiyang's eyes flashed. "Chief, wait!"

"What is it?" The Black Tortoise Chief frowned, looking at him in confusion.

Qin Feiyang said, "Our chief instructed that you should bring the Pill Flame."

The Black Tortoise Chief asked, "Don't you have a Pill Flame?"

"Our chief said we'll perform Alchemy together to increase efficiency. So, please bring your Pill Furnace as well," Qin Feiyang said with a smile.

Adding the Pill Furnace would make the story more convincing.

If he only asked the Black Tortoise Commander to bring the Pill Flame, the Commander would surely be suspicious.

The Black Tortoise Chief pondered for a moment, then said, "In that case, I'll have to call the High Priest. High Priest, come out."

RUMBLE!

His words had barely faded when the ground deep within the hall suddenly split open, revealing a hidden passage.

Soon after, accompanied by light footsteps, an elderly woman, past fifty with streaks of white in her hair, emerged from the hidden passage.

The old woman approached them, glanced at Qin Feiyang, then looked at the Black Tortoise Chief and asked, "Is something the matter?"

The Black Tortoise Chief smiled. "Bring the Pill Furnace and Pill Flame. We're going to the Bright King Tribe."

"Mm," the white-haired old woman nodded.

With a wave of her aged hand, a pitch-black Pill Furnace and a cluster of brilliant flames flew out from the entrance of the hidden passage.

Qin Feiyang swept his gaze over the Pill Flame and Pill Furnace, a sharp glint passing deep within his eyes.

The Pill Furnace was actually suffused with a faint, precious glow!

Excellent! Not only the Pill Flame, but also a Third-Grade Pill Furnace! This is a huge score!

The Pill Flame and Pill Furnace streaked through the air, landing before the white-haired old woman, just as she was about to store them away.

"Who's there?!" Qin Feiyang suddenly bellowed, his gaze darting to the left.

"Hmm?" The Black Tortoise Chief and the white-haired old woman were also startled, instinctively looking in that direction.

Just then!

Qin Feiyang struck like lightning, grabbing the Pill Furnace with one hand and the Pill Flame with the other, vanishing in an instant.

"Huh?" The two were stunned again. When they came to their senses, they were consumed by rage.

They had been tricked!

"Damn you, little beast! You dare deceive this Chief!"

BOOM!

The Black Tortoise Chief roared, an astonishing aura erupting from him as he shot out of the hall. Standing high above the wooden building, he scanned in all directions!

WHOOSH!

The white-haired old woman glanced around the hall. Seeing no trace of Qin Feiyang, she too rushed out.

"Did you see him?" she asked the Black Tortoise Chief, her grim face even more terrifying than his.

"No." The Black Tortoise Chief shook his head.

"I am not from the Bright King Tribe. Remember my name: Qin Feiyang." A voice suddenly echoed within the hall.

The two rushed back into the hall in a panic, only to see a portal rapidly dissipating.

"You little brat! Don't let me find you!" The Black Tortoise Commander was driven mad with anger.

The esteemed chief of a super-tribe, actually played for a fool by a wet-behind-the-ears brat! It was an utter, shameful humiliation!

The white-haired old woman said, "Don't worry. I've already bound the Pill Flame and Pill Furnace to myself. He can't take them away."

However, no sooner had she spoken than her aged body trembled, her old face filled with utter disbelief.

「Simultaneously!」

Qin Feiyang reappeared atop a snow-covered mountain.

The frigid wind howled, bringing with it a bone-chilling cold.

Below the snowy mountain lay a basin surrounded by mountains on all sides.

Within this basin was the Purple Sun Tribe.

Countless torches burned fiercely, illuminating the Purple Sun Tribe in the dead of night as if it were daytime.

"Only one last type of Pill Flame remains. I hope I can obtain it smoothly," Qin Feiyang muttered.

At this moment, he felt both elated and nervous.

This is the final step; I absolutely cannot fail.

When he left the Black Tortoise Tribe, he had revealed his real name precisely because he didn't want them to ruin his plans. If he hadn't, the Black Tortoise Tribe would certainly have gone to the Bright King Tribe for clarification. Then, once the chiefs of the two tribes conferred, they would very likely deduce that his next target was the Purple Sun Tribe.

But despite this, he was still somewhat worried. What if the Black Tortoise Chief didn't believe him and went to the Bright King Tribe to verify? The same outcome would occur.

So now, I must race against time.

PHEW!

He took several deep breaths. The icy air entering his lungs quickly calmed him.

It's all or nothing! Qin Feiyang's eyes flashed. He took out a Rejuvenating Pill, reverted to his true appearance, and then sped down towards the basin.

The gates of the Purple Sun Tribe were also guarded by two people. Their cultivation levels were both Nine-Star War King.

In less than ten breaths, he arrived before the tribe's main gate.

"Who are you?"

"What business do you have at our Purple Sun Tribe?" The two guards shouted immediately upon seeing him.

Qin Feiyang said, "I am Qin Feiyang, here to challenge your Purple Sun Tribe."

"Challenge?"

Has this brat lost his mind? The two exchanged glances. Some upstart brat dares to challenge our Purple Sun Tribe? Is he looking to die?

"Hey, you look somewhat familiar," the man on the left suddenly said in surprise.

The man on the right scrutinized Qin Feiyang, and it suddenly dawned on him. "I remember now! You're that brat from the wanted notice!"

"Do you dare accept my challenge? Never mind, you two don't have the authority to decide anyway. Take us to your chief," Qin Feiyang said without wasting words.

"Such audacity!"

"Come on, come on! Let your elder here exchange a couple of moves with you first!" The two cracked their knuckles, their expressions filled with scorn.

"I am a civilized person; I don't resort to violence. We'll compete in Alchemy," Qin Feiyang said.

Alchemy is quicker.

"Alchemy?" The two were stunned.

That's right! This person snatched the Lie Family Tribe's Pill Flame, so he must be an Alchemist!

However, the Purple Sun Tribe feared neither a martial contest nor, even less so, a competition in Alchemy. After all, the tribe had plenty of Alchemists.

"You ignorant brat! If you have the guts, then follow me!" The man on the left sneered, turned, and walked into the tribe.

SWOOSH!

Qin Feiyang activated his Wind Controlling Steps and slipped inside like a wisp of smoke.

What? He actually dared to go in? The guard remaining at the entrance was utterly astonished. He had assumed Qin Feiyang was just bluffing and never expected him to actually follow through.

WHOOSH!!

Two figures, one after the other, arrived before the door of the central wooden building.

He can actually keep up with my speed? The man leading the way turned to look at Qin Feiyang behind him, quite astonished.

Qin Feiyang glanced at him, walked straight up, and kicked the door open.

"Who has such audacity to dare disturb this Chief's quiet cultivation?!" a furious shout instantly rang out.

Qin Feiyang looked over. In the center of the hall, there was also a bonfire. Beside it, a thin middle-aged man sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, glaring at Qin Feiyang and the guard at the door. On his left cheek was a scar resembling a hideous centipede, quite unnerving.

The man who led the way hurriedly said, "Chief, he's the one who kicked open the door! It had nothing to do with me."

"Who are you?" the middle-aged man shouted. "Coming to my Purple Sun Tribe in the dead of night, what do you want? Do you realize the consequences of your actions?"

The guide said, "Chief, his name is Qin Feiyang. He's the one on the wanted notice, and he's here to challenge our Purple Sun Tribe."

"Challenge us?" The middle-aged man paused, then rose and looked at Qin Feiyang with amusement. "You truly don't know death when you see it. Tell me, how do you intend to challenge us?"

Qin Feiyang said nothing, merely taking out an Image Crystal Stone.

"Hmm?" The middle-aged man raised an eyebrow.

"Don't get agitated," Qin Feiyang said lightly. "I'm just going to record what happens next, lest you go back on your word later."

"Go back on my word?" The middle-aged man flared up in anger.

How dare he question my integrity! This is unforgivable!

"Brat, arrogance comes at a price! Don't say I didn't give you a chance. Bring it on!" A cold light glinted in his eyes.

"We'll compete in Alchemy. Whoever refines a pill of higher quality wins."

"The wager is your Purple Sun Tribe's Third-Grade Pill Flame!"

"Do you dare?!" Qin Feiyang challenged, his eyes full of provocation.

"Compete in Alchemy?" The middle-aged man was taken aback. He couldn't help but scrutinize Qin Feiyang, his brow gradually furrowing. This is rather unexpected. And this brat... he's acting far too confident, isn't he? Does he have some backing? But this name, Qin Feiyang... how come I've never heard of it?

The middle-aged man asked, "Brat, do you even know what place this is?"

"Of course, I know. The Purple Sun Tribe is one of the three great super-tribes, possessing a profound foundation."

"But so what? With my Alchemy skills, I can utterly crush all of you," Qin Feiyang declared with an arrogant laugh.

"Arrogant! Utterly arrogant!" The middle-aged man laughed in fury. "Fine, I accept your challenge. But what if you lose?"

It was the first time anyone had dared to be so audacious before him. Simply lawless! If he didn't accept the challenge under these circumstances, the Purple Sun Tribe would truly become a laughingstock. They'd be ridiculed for being incompetent and cowardly! This is absolutely unacceptable!

Qin Feiyang stated without hesitation, "If I lose, whether you want to kill me or cut me to pieces, I'll be at your mercy."

"Good!" the middle-aged man shouted. "High Priest, come here at once!"

Having recorded everything necessary, Qin Feiyang put away the Image Crystal Stone.

The High Priest of the Purple Sun Tribe lived right next door.

Soon, a beautiful woman who looked to be only in her twenties walked briskly into the hall.

Qin Feiyang turned to look and was momentarily stunned. The High Priests of the Bright King Tribe and the Black Tortoise Tribe were both old men in their seventies or eighties. So, seeing this woman, he felt somewhat surprised. However, this woman's aura was unfathomable.

Clearly, she's also an old monster who has lived for many years.

The High Priest glanced at Qin Feiyang, then looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Is something the matter?"

The middle-aged man briefly explained the situation.

"Hmm?" After listening, the High Priest paused, eyeing Qin Feiyang doubtfully, as if trying to see right through him.

"Can we hurry this up? Do people from the Purple Sun Tribe always dither like this? Or are you scared?"

"If that's the case, then let's not compete. Consider me never to have come."

"However, if this gets out, the Purple Sun Tribe might become a laughingstock to the world," Qin Feiyang said, looking impatient.

The High Priest's shapely brows furrowed slightly. She smiled and said, "Little brother, it's generally better to be a bit more low-key."

"Enough nonsense. I won't entertain you any longer." Qin Feiyang turned to leave.

"Alright, let's compete then," the High Priest said. "I won't bully you. We'll refine whatever pill you are most proficient at refining."

"I'm proficient in everything." Qin Feiyang turned back and grinned at her.
