However, luring this person couldn't be done by just wandering around aimlessly.

Being too obvious might arouse suspicion.

Besides, it couldn't be in the city, as that might make the mysterious War Ancestor wary.

So, it had to be outside the city!

WHOOSH!

Qin Feiyang opened a teleportation portal, appearing above a dense forest.

Next, he took out the Image Crystal Stone and quickly activated it.

Soon, a small figure materialized.

It was Huang San!

"Qin Feiyang?"

Huang San paused, then offered a sycophantic smile, "What orders does Senior Brother Qin have?"

Qin Feiyang said, "I'm currently in a dense forest south of the city. Help me spread this information."

"Why?"

Huang San was puzzled.

Qin Feiyang replied, "Don't ask why for now. Just don't spread it deliberately; make it seem like you accidentally let it slip. Once it's done, there will be plenty of rewards for you."

Huang San said, "Then I'll need a reason for you being outside the city?"

Qin Feiyang thought for a moment, then said, "Just say I've recently mastered a new battle technique and am secretly practicing it outside the city."

"Understood, I'll get right on it."

Huang San nodded.

Qin Feiyang then put away the Image Crystal Stone and began looking for Vicious Beasts to practice on.

He trusted Huang San's abilities.

Moreover, this task wasn't too difficult.

「Less than an hour passed.」

Qin Feiyang fought his way deeper into the mountain range. No Vicious Beast below the Seven-star War Emperor level could stop him.

Why haven't they come yet?

Standing in the sky above a mountain peak, his brow furrowed with confusion.

ROAR!

Suddenly, accompanied by the mighty roar of a Beast Emperor, a colossal black tiger rushed out from a mountain ravine.

It was over ten meters long, a lethal glare flickering in its millstone-sized eyes.

WHOOSH!

It soared into the sky, standing before Qin Feiyang, and demanded, "Human, leave now!"

Qin Feiyang sized it up and sneered, "I should leave just because you said so?"

"You're seeking death!"

The black tiger, enraged, let loose a monstrous aura that swept in all directions. Opening its massive maw, it charged at Qin Feiyang.

What formidable force!

Qin Feiyang's pupils contracted.

This beast's cultivation was definitely no less than an Eight-star War Emperor.

WHOOSH!

But instead of retreating, he advanced, meeting the black tiger head-on.

Man and beast clashed in the void, terrifying battle fluctuations rocking the surroundings and splattering the sky with blood.

The fight lasted for hundreds of breaths.

Qin Feiyang pointed a finger into the air.

—Return to the Void!

An invisible force swept out, instantly covering the giant tiger in bloody gashes!

ROAR!

However, this didn't scare it; on the contrary, it only made it even more ferocious!

Qin Feiyang's eyes flashed; he decided to take his time and play with the black tiger.

Because, if the mysterious War Ancestor truly came, the battle fluctuations here would surely draw him over.

「Time slowly passed by.」

Nearly eight minutes had passed, but the mysterious War Ancestor still hadn't appeared, and Qin Feiyang was starting to lose patience.

"Prime Origin Sword Technique, Annihilate!"

With a low growl, red Sword Qi surged from Qin Feiyang, coalescing into ten sword phantoms that slashed towards the giant tiger.

However, at this very moment!

A terrifying Coercion suddenly emerged.

Qin Feiyang, the giant tiger, and even the ten sword phantoms were all frozen in mid-air.

Have they arrived?

Qin Feiyang's heart tightened.

He was no stranger to this kind of pressure and instantly recognized it as the Coercion of a War Ancestor!

WHOOSH!

Immediately following that, a dazzling stream of Battle Intent, thick with killing intent, surged from the mountain ravine below.

They've really come!

"Break!"

Qin Feiyang's eyes glinted. With a desperate roar, he forcefully broke free from the Coercion's restraint and entered the castle.

Immediately, he told Fatty, "Contact Uncle Yan right away, and have him inform the Manor Lord."

Fatty nodded.

「Meanwhile, outside!」

The Battle Intent roared through, instantly shredding the black tiger and dyeing the sky red with its blood!

Hmm?

Down in the mountain ravine, a black-clad figure standing in a grove of trees watched where Qin Feiyang had vanished, a frown creasing his brow.

He muttered quietly, "You might have escaped this time, but you won't escape the next. Our paths will cross again." He opened a teleportation portal and was about to leave.

WHOOSH!

Just then, Qin Feiyang reappeared out of nowhere, yelling, "Which cowardly bastard is launching sneak attacks? Get out here and face your death!"

Daring to come out again?

Surprise flashed in the black-clad figure's eyes. With a wave of his hand, another stream of Battle Intent shot towards Qin Feiyang.

"Are you some kind of turtle?"

"If you have any guts, come out and fight me openly!"

"If I, Qin Feiyang, take a single step back, I'm your grandson!"

"If you don't come out, then you're my grandson!"

Qin Feiyang shouted coldly, simultaneously taking a step and perilously dodging the blast of Battle Intent.

"Seeking death!"

A cold glint flashed in the black-clad figure's eyes as he transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky.

"Why is it you?"

Qin Feiyang was stunned, his face paling in shock.

"Surprised?"

The black-clad figure sneered.

Qin Feiyang, shocked and enraged, demanded, "What deep hatred is there between us that makes you so determined to kill me?"

The black-clad figure said, "Hand over your castle, the Elixir Formula for the Potential Elixir, that dagger of yours, and the Netherworld Demon Flame, and I'll give you a quick death."

"So it's my treasures you're after."

Qin Feiyang suddenly understood, frowning as he asked, "Then how did you know my whereabouts?"

The black-clad figure said, "That's thanks to your friend Huang San. If he hadn't let it slip, I wouldn't have known you'd left the city."

"That blasted blabbermouth!"

Qin Feiyang was furious, his voice deepening as he asked, "Who exactly are you?"

The black-clad figure replied indifferently, "Does it matter who I am?"

Qin Feiyang said, "Even if I am to die, I deserve to know who you are!"

The black-clad figure fell into contemplation.

Qin Feiyang held his breath and remained quiet.

But in the end, the black-clad figure shook his head and said, "It's better for you to die in ignorance."

A flash of disappointment crossed Qin Feiyang's face, but it was quickly replaced by a cold chuckle.

The black-clad figure frowned, "What are you laughing at?"

Qin Feiyang retorted, "You're too naive. Did you really think Huang San let it slip accidentally?"

Huh?

The black-clad figure was startled, a deep sense of unease washing over him.

Qin Feiyang revealed, "To tell you the truth, this was all deliberately arranged by me to lure you out."

What?

Shocked, the black-clad figure said no more and charged furiously at Qin Feiyang.

"You are indeed very clever, perhaps the most troublesome person I've met so far. But so what? Didn't you still fall into my trap?"

Qin Feiyang let out a cold laugh. With a wave of his hand, Dong Zhengyang and the Lion Headed Hawk appeared simultaneously. He ordered, "Hold him back!"

The man and the beast attacked without a word, charging straight for the black-clad figure.

How can this be?

The black-clad figure was utterly aghast.

Wasn't Dong Zhengyang a Nine-Star War Emperor? When did he break through to the War Ancestor realm? And the Lion Headed Hawk, isn't that Ren Wushuang's pet? Why is it here?

Qin Feiyang sneered, "Surprised?"

The black-clad figure's eyes narrowed.

"I figured out long ago that before coming to kill me, you'd investigate the whereabouts of Yan Nanshan and the others."

"So, I didn't go to them."

"And since Dong Zhengyang was a Nine-Star War Emperor, you wouldn't have paid him any attention."

"The Lion Headed Hawk is an Eight-Star War Emperor and has always been outside the city, so you wouldn't have thought of it either. That's why I asked them for help."

"One wrong step, and the entire game is lost."

"Today is your doomsday!"

Qin Feiyang declared.

"Pay for the lives of my Dong Family clansmen!"

Dong Zhengyang roared, his aura soaring as he madly attacked the black-clad figure!

The Lion Headed Hawk had also reverted to its true form, a massive beast over a hundred feet long, exuding a murderous aura!

The black-clad figure glanced at the man and the beast, then said to Qin Feiyang, "I admit, you're truly remarkable. But to think these two alone can stop me? Dream on."

He pointed a finger. Battle Intent roared, its terrifying power shaking the mountains and rivers as it surged towards Dong Zhengyang and the Lion Headed Hawk.

Immediately after, he waved his hand, opening a teleportation portal.

Dong Zhengyang commanded, "Lion Headed Hawk, you block the Battle Intent! I'll hold him back!"

"Alright!"

The Lion Headed Hawk nodded and, like a meteor, slammed directly into the Battle Intent.

BOOM!

With a deafening sound, the Lion Headed Hawk was sent flying, its massive body torn and bloody, flesh scattering!

CLANG!

At the same time, a pitch-black iron chain emerged from behind Dong Zhengyang, vibrating with a deafening metallic clang.

This was his Battle Soul!

SWOOSH!

As soon as the iron chain appeared, it shot through the air like a giant python, striking towards the black-clad figure.

Just as the black-clad figure was about to enter the teleportation portal, the black iron chain arrived in an instant, coiling around his waist.

Dong Zhengyang said, "Although my Battle Soul has no offensive power, holding you is easy. Innate Divine Ability, Freeze!"

Instantly, the black iron chain radiated a dark glow, and the black-clad figure was immobilized in mid-air.

"Damn it!"

The black-clad figure's face changed, and he yelled, "Dong Zhengyang, although I destroyed the Dong Family, I was forced to! Qin Feiyang is the real culprit!"

"Cut the crap!"

Dong Zhengyang roared furiously.

"Still trying to sow discord at a time like this? Pathetic!"

The Lion Headed Hawk charged again, a cluster of feathers emerging from its back.

The feathers were a meter long, thin as cicada wings, and seemed cast from gold, glittering brilliantly.

"Golden Feathers, Destroy!"

With a low growl from the Lion Headed Hawk, the golden feathers shot like an arrow towards the black-clad figure's lower abdomen.

"Damn it!"

The black-clad figure's expression darkened, and he bellowed, "All of you, go to hell!"

BOOM!

A giant beastly shadow also erupted from behind him.

It was a white crane!

SCREECH!

With a sharp cry, the crane's talons slashed at the black iron chain. With a loud CLANG, the chain snapped instantly!

Dong Zhengyang immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Bastard!

Seeing this, the Lion Headed Hawk cursed inwardly. With a thought, the golden feathers changed direction in mid-air and shot towards the teleportation portal.

BOOM!

The teleportation portal instantly disintegrated.

The white crane's eyes glinted fiercely. It spread its wings and snatched the golden feathers, which shattered instantly.

SPURT!

The Lion Headed Hawk immediately spat out blood.

The black-clad figure whirled around, glaring at the man and the beast, and sneered, "Now that you've seen my Battle Soul, none of you will leave here alive today!"

WHOOSH!!!

At that moment, ten figures appeared out of thin air.

It was Yan Nanshan, along with Wang Hong and the other nine Great Commanders.

"So it's you, Zhao He!"

Upon seeing the white crane, Wang Hong's anger flared.

BOOM!

A terrifying aura erupted from him. With a single stride, he charged at the black-clad figure.

"Zhao He, why did you do this?"

Third Young Master Cao and the others were also furious. Transforming into streaks of light, they surrounded the black-clad figure.

They've all come!

The black-clad figure trembled from head to toe, his gaze sweeping over Wang Hong and the other eight Great Commanders, his eyes as dark as an abyss.
