「Not long after.」

The Wolf King's eyes, shut for half a year, finally opened.

He glanced at Qin Feiyang and the others in confusion, then sprang up as if stricken by a sudden realization, angrily demanding, "Did you capture that mysterious War Ancestor?"

"Mysterious War Ancestor?" Qin Feiyang and the others were taken aback.

The Wolf King looked disdainfully at Qin Feiyang and the others and continued, "Quickly, speak up!

"Don't tell me you didn't catch him?

"You're all truly useless.

"It seems without Brother Wolf, you can't accomplish anything. Brother Wolf has to do everything himself!"

"Er!" The group was dumbfounded.

After being unconscious for so long, this bastard hasn't changed a bit.

But seeing the Wolf King awake, everyone present was overjoyed.

Fatty pouted. "Who said we can't do anything without you? Could you stop being so narcissistic?"

"What do you mean?" The Wolf King was愣愣.

Qin Feiyang said with a smile, "The mysterious War Ancestor was captured long ago.

"And it's been half a year since you lost consciousness."

"What?" The Wolf King's eyes bulged, full of disbelief. "Half a year?"

Lu Hong nodded. "Yes, half a year."

"My gods! Brother just had a dream, how could so much time have passed?" The Wolf King still found it hard to accept.

"What dream?" Fatty smirked. "Don't tell me you dreamed of finding a she-wolf and having a litter of wolf pups?"

"Get lost!" The Wolf King glared at him, then turned to Qin Feiyang. "Has it really been half a year?"

"Yes," Qin Feiyang nodded.

The Wolf King asked, "Then who is this mysterious War Ancestor?"

Qin Feiyang replied, "Zhao He, one of the Top Ten Commanders under the Head of the State Office. He's currently locked up in prison."

"Prison?" The Wolf King was stunned for a moment, then asked in bewilderment, "Why not just kill him?"

Qin Feiyang explained, "The old master from the State Office wants to use him to lure out that mysterious person."

"That bastard! He nearly got Uncle Wolf killed!" The Wolf King said furiously, his entire body radiating a fierce aura. "Come on, let's go to the prison! Let him have a taste of Brother's Holy Water!"

Fatty chuckled. "I'm afraid he can't taste your Holy Water right now."

"Why not?" The Wolf King looked puzzled.

Fatty said, "Because we're not in Spirit State at the moment."

"Then where are we?" The Wolf King was confused.

"In the great canyon beneath the Ruins of the Battle Bivouac," Fatty chuckled.

The Wolf King's gaze faltered, and he asked in shock, "What are you all doing here?"

"What do you think? We came to save you, of course," Qin Feiyang rolled his eyes at him and proceeded to explain in detail everything that had happened during this time.

His explanation lasted an hour.

After listening, the Wolf King stared blankly at Qin Feiyang and the others, his eyes misted over.

He didn't expect so many things to have happened in half a year. And all of this was just to help him repair his Sea of Consciousness!

Fatty grinned slyly. "Moved, aren't you? But if you want to thank us, you'll have to show some sincerity!"

The Wolf King lowered his head, surreptitiously wiping a tear from the corner of his eye.

Qin Feiyang and the others weren't blind; they all saw it but pretended not to.

Immediately after, the Wolf King raised his head and snapped, "Who said Brother was going to thank you?

"Brother got injured holding back Zhao He. Without Brother's sacrifice, could you have captured him?

"So, saving Brother is what you ought to do.

"And you should be thanking Brother, in fact!

"That... erm..." As the Wolf King spoke with such self-righteousness, his eyes darted to the cluster of flames, and he smirked. "These flames... Brother won't stand on ceremony and will take them."

As soon as he said this, he leaped, opening his great maw to bite at the flames.

"Bastard!" Fatty and the Pangolin Beast immediately pounced, pinning the Wolf King to the ground.

The Pangolin Beast said indignantly, "Rogue Wolf, you can't monopolize this!"

Fatty added, "That's right! This is a life-saving treasure! If you dare to monopolize it, don't blame us for getting rough with you!"

"Heh," the Wolf King laughed awkwardly. "Brother was just joking. Why are you all taking it so seriously?"

"Only a ghost would believe you!" Fatty rolled his eyes dramatically.

Qin Feiyang said, "Alright, stop fooling around."

Fatty and the Pangolin Beast immediately released the Wolf King and looked at Qin Feiyang.

Qin Feiyang said, "Although we've faced many dangers during this time, thankfully, everyone is safe.

"The White-Eyed Wolf's Sea of Consciousness has also been repaired, so it's a happy outcome for all.

"Aunt Xue, all of you, don't worry. Continue with your cultivation.

"Fatty, the White-Eyed Wolf, and I will figure something out."

"Yes," Lo Qianxue and the others nodded, then sat in a corner and began to meditate quietly.

Only Fatty and the Wolf King remained.

Turning to serious matters, Fatty dropped his playful demeanor. "Boss," he said worriedly, "the Sacred Monkey is guarding outside. Getting out of this canyon will likely be harder than ascending to the heavens."

Qin Feiyang replied, "There's no other way. We can't be trapped here for the rest of our lives."

The Wolf King suggested, "Go out and talk to it?"

Qin Feiyang shook his head. "I've already spoken with it. It's no use."

The Wolf King seethed, "Damn it! Once Brother becomes a War Saint, the first thing I'll do is destroy it!"

"That's assuming you become a War Saint," Qin Feiyang rolled his eyes. This was a completely unrealistic idea.

The two humans and one wolf racked their brains but couldn't devise an escape plan.

BANG!

Suddenly, a violent impact resounded from outside.

Immediately after, the entire mountain peak began to tremble violently, as if it were about to collapse.

"What's happening?" Qin Feiyang was startled.

The Sacred Monkey inside the stone chamber also looked shocked.

"Dead monkey! Your Grandpa Qin is right outside! Come out and kill me if you dare!"

At that moment, a defiant shout exploded like a Thunder Shock above the mountaintop, spreading in all directions.

How did he get out? The Sacred Monkey was stunned for a moment. Then, consumed with anger, it stood up, opened the secret door, and dashed towards the cave entrance.

WHOOSH!

After the Sacred Monkey left, Qin Feiyang and the Wolf King appeared out of thin air.

"Xiao Qinzi, what's going on now?" the Wolf King asked, bewildered. "That voice claiming to be 'Grandpa Qin' sounds just like yours!"

"I don't know either," Qin Feiyang shook his head, his eyes glinting. "But this is a good opportunity to escape!"

He transformed into a streak of light and quickly fled the stone chamber.

The secret door was closing automatically!

Seeing the Wolf King still pondering inside the stone chamber, Qin Feiyang urged anxiously, "Stop thinking! Let's go!"

WHOOSH!

The Wolf King darted out of the stone chamber like a streak of smoke.

The instant he ran out, the secret door slammed shut with a THUD.

Qin Feiyang couldn't help but feel a wave of lingering fear. If the White-Eyed Wolf had been a moment later, he would have definitely been trapped inside. Once trapped, he would be like a turtle in a jar, with no escape!

"Let's go!" Qin Feiyang waved his hand and turned, speeding towards the cave exit.

The Wolf King leaped onto his shoulder, vigilantly scanning ahead.

"Where do you think you're going!" The Sacred Monkey's furious roar echoed, deafeningly loud.

The Wolf King wondered, "Is there really another Qin Feiyang? Who's impersonating him?"

"We'll know when we get out," Qin Feiyang whispered, concealing his aura to the utmost.

The Wolf King also concealed his aura.

They couldn't afford to be cornered again now; escaping then would be nothing but a dream.

In short, this was their only chance!

「A few moments later.」

WHOOSH!

Qin Feiyang finally shot out of the cave. He immediately looked up and saw a white figure high in the sky, fleeing towards the black storm.

The Sacred Monkey pursued, its furious power sending shockwaves in all directions!

"Dead monkey, follow me in if you dare!" The white figure glanced back at the Sacred Monkey before disappearing into the storm like a wisp of smoke.

The Sacred Monkey was driven mad with rage. Its Battle Intent surged across the sky as it frantically bombarded the storm.

It really is me. Qin Feiyang was stunned. The person's appearance, build, and even clothing were identical to his, as if cast from the same mold.

"Escape now, while we can!" the Wolf King urged in a low growl.

Qin Feiyang's eyes flickered, and he decisively entered the Ancient Castle.

"Why aren't we escaping?" the Wolf King asked Qin Feiyang, confused.

Qin Feiyang said, "The Sacred Monkey is up there. No matter which direction we flee, it will detect us."

The Wolf King countered, "Then aren't we just as trapped staying here?"

"As long as we're out of the cave, we can find a chance to leave. There's no need to rush this very moment," Qin Feiyang said. "You should go and cultivate too. I'll handle the rest."

Before encountering the Sacred Monkey, he had thought that with his current combat strength, while not among the top experts in Spirit State, self-preservation wouldn't be an issue. But now, having witnessed the Sacred Monkey's power, he realized Spirit State wasn't as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Besides the Sacred Monkey, who knew how many other powerful beings might be lurking. Enhancing his own strength was now the most urgent priority.

For once, the Wolf King didn't argue. He took out a pile of Battle Intent Pills and started to doze off nearby.

「Outside!」

The Sacred Monkey furiously attacked the area for a while, then stopped, hovering in mid-air as it glared coldly at the black storm.

"Dead monkey, why don't you dare come in? What's all your bluster for then?" Qin Feiyang's voice once again emerged from the storm, faint and elusive, its precise location impossible to pinpoint.

The Sacred Monkey bellowed, "Come out if you have the guts!"

The voice echoed again, "Don't be hasty. When I've cultivated to the War Saint realm, I'll come find you to settle this score.

"As for now, I won't keep you company. If you have the means to leave this place, you can also find me at the State Office.

"Don't see me off."

Then it faded away.

"Bastard! This Saint will kill you sooner or later!" The Sacred Monkey roared, his voice like a great bell, thundering in all directions, filled with an astonishing, baleful aura.

After a hundred breaths, seeing that the voice hadn't returned, a ruthless glint flashed in the Sacred Monkey's eyes. It turned and sped back towards the cave.

「But at this moment!」

The mysterious voice that had appeared twice before resounded in the Sacred Monkey's mind: "The person just now wasn't Qin Feiyang. The real Qin Feiyang is near the cave. Stay there and don't give him a chance to escape."

"Hmm?" The Sacred Monkey was slightly taken aback, its eyes fixed on the cave entrance, its body emanating a murderous aura.

One was impersonating Qin Feiyang, clearly trying to help him escape. The other repeatedly gave it hints, clearly wanting Qin Feiyang dead. How many people were there in this canyon?

Still, it chose to trust the mysterious voice.

WHOOSH!

With a flash, it landed by the cave entrance, its gaze sweeping sharply over the empty space outside.

「Meanwhile.」

Inside the Ancient Castle, Qin Feiyang was also lost in thought.

Could the person impersonating him be Lu Xingchen? Within this canyon, apart from himself, there was only Lu Xingchen. There seemed to be no other explanation. If that was indeed the case, did it mean Lu Xingchen had truly turned over a new leaf?
