Chapter 448: Chapter 448 Mysterious Valley_1
Seeing Qin Feiyang remain silent, Wei Zhongyang couldn’t help but look at Wang Hong helplessly.
Wang Hong laughed. "Qin Feiyang, he seems sincere enough. Why don’t you give me some face and accept his apology?"
"Commander, you overstate it."
Qin Feiyang replied with a faint smile, looking at Wei Zhongyang. "I’m not one to fuss over every detail. Since you’ve repented, let’s forget about the past!"
"Thank you, Brother Qin," Wei Zhongyang said, cupping his fists with a look of great relief.
Qin Feiyang sneered inwardly. I wonder how long you can keep up this act.
A hint of amusement also touched Wang Hong’s lips as he said to Wei Zhongyang, "Take Qin Feiyang in and confine him."
Wei Zhongyang was taken aback and asked doubtfully, "Has Brother Qin done something wrong?"
Wang Hong shook his head. "It’s all because of the Lu Family massacre."
Wei Zhongyang’s expression showed enlightenment. He looked at Qin Feiyang and asked, "Commander, what about the leg irons and handcuffs?"
"Follow the rules," Wang Hong replied.
"Understood."
Wei Zhongyang nodded, took out a Token, unlocked the stone door, stepped aside, and beckoned, "Brother Qin, please!"
Qin Feiyang nodded and glanced at the other guards.
One of the guards gave Qin Feiyang a significant glance.
This man was Fan Jian, who had helped Fatty in the past.
Is Fan Jian hinting that I should be careful of Wei Zhongyang?
Qin Feiyang’s eyes glinted as he entered the prison.
Wei Zhongyang followed closely behind.
After entering the prison, Wei Zhongyang turned around and closed the stone door. Meanwhile, a gleam of cold light flashed deep in his eyes, though his expression remained unchanged on the surface.
He turned to Qin Feiyang and chuckled. "Brother Qin, how about staying in cell number five?"
Qin Feiyang’s gaze flickered. If I remember correctly, Wei Zhongyang was confined in cell number five before.
"Sure."
I want to see how long this man can keep up his act.
Wei Zhongyang went over and opened the stone door of cell number five. As Qin Feiyang entered the cell, Wei Zhongyang took out a set of leg irons and handcuffs and said, "Brother Qin, please cooperate."
Qin Feiyang held out his hands.
Wei Zhongyang stepped forward and fastened the leg irons and handcuffs to Qin Feiyang’s ankles and wrists.
At that moment, Qin Feiyang felt a mysterious power emanating from the chains, sealing his Battle Intent.
After confirming everything was secure, Wei Zhongyang stepped back and asked with a smile, "How do you feel?"
"Not bad," Qin Feiyang shrugged.
"Not bad?"
Wei Zhongyang smirked and said mockingly, "I never thought I’d see the day you’d be in this state!"
Qin Feiyang smiled indifferently. Just as I expected.
"What do you mean?" Wei Zhongyang furrowed his brows.
Qin Feiyang sighed. "I thought you would continue to be patient, but I didn’t expect you to reveal your true colors so soon."
"So, you saw through me a long time ago. Qin Feiyang, you truly live up to your reputation. But so what? Now you’re a prisoner, and I’m the Guard Commander. I can do whatever I want with you. Understand?" Wei Zhongyang sneered.
"And what do you think you can do to me? I must say, you really aren’t very smart. After all our confrontations, you should clearly understand my methods. Do you believe Fatty and the others have already recorded everything you just said? When I tell Wang Hong, what do you think your fate will be?" Qin Feiyang looked at Wei Zhongyang with amusement.
Wei Zhongyang’s pupils contracted, and he laughed. "Brother Qin, don’t be angry. I was just joking with you. Please don’t take it seriously."
"A joke?" Qin Feiyang’s lips curved. "I was joking too."
"Brother Qin is as humorous as ever!" Wei Zhongyang chuckled.
Qin Feiyang said, "If there’s nothing else, you can go now."
"There’s one more thing. Brother Qin, you need to hand over your Qiankun Bag. Don’t misunderstand; this is the rule. Commander Wang Hong also said before, everything should be done according to the rules," Wei Zhongyang added.
Raising his eyebrows, Qin Feiyang asked, "Is there a rule to hand over the Qiankun Bag?"
"There is," Wei Zhongyang nodded.
"I’m afraid that won’t work," Qin Feiyang shook his head.
Wei Zhongyang frowned and said with a smile, "Brother Qin, don’t make things difficult for me."
"I’m not making things difficult for you. Even if Commander Wang Hong were here, I wouldn’t hand over the Qiankun Bag," Qin Feiyang said expressionlessly.
What a joke. Blue Snow, the mysterious bones, and the Gold Coins were all inside the Qiankun Bag; how could he possibly hand it over to Wei Zhongyang?
"Well..." Wei Zhongyang hesitated for a moment, then chuckled. "If you don’t want to hand it over, then don’t. After all, we’re old friends. I can bend the rules for you privately."
"Then thank you," Qin Feiyang said with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.
Wei Zhongyang waved his hand. "Don’t be so formal. I have some other matters to attend to, so I’ll leave first. When I’m free, let’s have a few drinks."
"Sure!" Qin Feiyang nodded and smiled.
"Farewell." Wei Zhongyang cupped his fists, then turned and walked out of the cell.
After closing the stone door, Wei Zhongyang’s face instantly turned cold. He glared at the stone door, his eyes flickering with a harsh light. I must obtain Qin Feiyang’s Qiankun Bag! The Elixir Formula for the Potential Elixir, that dagger, and those mysterious bones must be inside!
At the same time, inside the cell, Qin Feiyang’s eyes also gleamed with a chilling light.
WHOOSH! His figure flickered, and he entered the ancient castle.
Fatty immediately said, "Boss, we absolutely cannot trust Wei Zhongyang."
"I know," Qin Feiyang nodded.
Fatty chuckled. "Good that you know. So, what now? Are you planning to stay in this jail?"
"I’ll stay for now. It’s a good opportunity to cultivate anyway," Qin Feiyang said. With a thought, Blue Snow flew out from his Qiankun Bag and hovered in front of Fatty.
Fatty, understanding his intentions, grabbed Blue Snow and slashed towards Qin Feiyang’s leg irons and handcuffs.
"Wait!" The Mountain Beast’s expression changed, and it hurriedly said, "Qin Feiyang, you need to think clearly. Breaking shackles is against the rules."
"Rules?" Wolf King sneered. "Little bro, you’re still too green. Do we look like people who abide by rules?"
A smile appeared on the faces of Fatty, Lu Hong, and Qin Feiyang.
"Ugh!" The Mountain Beast was dumbfounded. Seeing the smiles on their faces, he shook his head and gave a wry smile. "Alright, just pretend this King said nothing."
Indeed. These guys were truly fearless. In their eyes, rules were practically non-existent.
CLANG!
With a wave of Fatty’s hand, the intimidatingly sharp edge of Blue Snow effortlessly cut the iron chains.
Qin Feiyang felt lighter. He stretched his limbs, took Blue Snow back from Fatty, and smiled. "Let’s enter seclusion. Strive to break through a minor realm before we find the true culprit."
"Piece of cake," the Mountain Beast chuckled. Having opened the Door of Potential, it was now brimming with confidence.
「...」
「Outside the city.」
A valley was nestled deep within the mountains.
In the center of the valley lay a modest lake, its clear water shimmering with dazzling waves of light under the sun.
Around the valley, several Sand Whales floated in the void, all gazing towards the lake. Their enormous eyes were, without exception, filled with reverence.
At the edge of the lake stood three people.
One of them was the masked man who had slaughtered the Lu Family. The other two were Lu Feng and Lu Tingting.
Currently, the siblings were anxiously looking around the valley, their brows furrowed in fear.
The masked man bowed towards the lake, respectfully saying, "Master, I have brought them here."
"Is someone there?" Lu Feng and Lu Tingting wondered, looking towards the lake.
SWOOSH!!
Two five-pointed stars, the size of baby palms, shot out from the lake and swiftly entered the crowns of Lu Feng’s and Lu Tingting’s heads.
AHH!!
They both immediately screamed out in pain. It felt as if their heads were about to explode, and their blood seemed to be burning.
The masked man said coldly, "Don’t struggle, or death will be your only end."
Soon, the intense pain enveloping Lu Feng and Lu Tingting quickly receded.
They got up from the ground and looked at each other. They didn’t notice anything abnormal. What happened?
The masked man said, "Your lives are now controlled by my Master. With but a thought from him, you will die."
"What?" The two paled in shock.
"Who exactly are you?" Lu Feng roared angrily.
"Who am I?" The masked man’s eyes flickered with a cold light as he slowly removed his mask.
"How is that possible?"
"It’s actually you!"
Upon seeing the masked man’s true face, Lu Feng and Lu Tingting looked as if they had seen a ghost, their eyes filled with utter disbelief.
The masked man put his mask back on and sneered, "If my Master hadn’t ordered me to spare your lives, you would have already been devoured by the Sand Whales!"
"Who is your master?"
"Why didn’t he kill us?" Lu Feng and Lu Tingting were bewildered and suspicious.
"My Master has his reasons for not killing you. You just need to do as he says." The masked man swept a cold glance over the two, then turned to the lake, bowing. "Master, do you have any further orders?"
"Bring me Dong Qing, the ten Clan Elders of the Dong Family, the Family Head of the Dong Family, and the Ancestor of the Dong Family. As for the rest of the Dong Family, leave no one alive; kill them all. Also, bring Lu Xingchen’s corpse back to me. I have great use for it." A cold and ruthless voice resounded in the minds of the three.
"Yes." The masked man bowed in response.
Lu Feng and Lu Tingting, however, were extremely alarmed. He intends to annihilate the Dong Family! And why does he need Lu Xingchen’s corpse?
AHH!!
Suddenly, both trembled violently, clutching their heads and screaming wretchedly. It felt as if every blood vessel in their bodies had burst, jets of blood spurting from their pores.
The masked man barked, "Still not begging for mercy? Do you want to die?"
"Master, spare us!"
"We will definitely complete the task!"
The two shuddered and hurriedly knelt on the ground, pleading.
As soon as their pleas ended, the intense pain vanished.
The mysterious voice said, "Go now!"
The masked man bowed. "Master, your subordinate has something to say."
The mysterious voice said, "Speak."
"Although the Dong Family’s Family Head and Old Monster Dong were crippled by Qin Feiyang, the cultivation of the ten Clan Elders of the Dong Family is still intact. According to my investigation, they are all Eight-star and Nine-star War Emperors. I’m afraid that with the three of us and these Sand Whales, our combined strength will be insufficient to capture them," the masked man said.
"You have a point. On the eastern side of the valley, there is a black rock. Behind it lies a cave where two ferocious beasts are sleeping. Go, use your blood to awaken them. They will lend you their strength." The mysterious voice echoed from the lake.
