Early that morning, a large crowd had already gathered at the city gate, making an uproarious noise.

Curious, Qin Feiyang walked over.

On the city wall, another wanted notice had been posted.

And on the wanted notice was his picture!

"In one night, he managed to steal the Elixir Flames from two super tribes."

"What is this Qin Feiyang's background?"

"You're mistaken—he stole the Elixir Flames from three super tribes."

"Yes, but it's because Qin Feiyang won the Elixir Flame from the Purple Sun Tribe in an alchemy competition."

"So, the Purple Sun Tribe didn't issue a wanted notice for him."

People chattered amongst themselves.

Qin Feiyang shook his head with a smile. News certainly travels fast!

However, the moment he saw the situation at the city gate, his smile instantly froze.

In front of the city gate, a long queue had formed.

The two guards he had chatted with the previous night were each holding an Eye of Heaven Stone, meticulously checking everyone entering the city.

This isn't good! Qin Feiyang muttered to himself.

"Brother Xui, you're here."

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded from behind.

Qin Feiyang turned to see Mu Qing and Mu Xue'er approaching.

Qin Feiyang was taken aback and asked, "You came as well?"

"Before dawn, this matter had already spread like wildfire through Sky Thunder City."

"My younger sister and I were very curious, so we came to take a look."

"To dare steal the Elixir Flames from super tribes, this Qin Feiyang is quite a remarkable person!"

"Wouldn't you agree, Brother Xui?"

Mu Qing glanced at the wanted notice, then looked at Qin Feiyang and chuckled.

"Yes, indeed, he is very impressive." Qin Feiyang nodded.

Mu Qing said, "I also heard that when Qin Feiyang went to the Purple Sun Tribe to issue a challenge last night, it was the High Priest of the Purple Sun Tribe who competed with him in alchemy."

Qin Feiyang asked in surprise, "You're not joking, are you? How could the High Priest of the Purple Sun Tribe possibly lose to him?"

"Exactly!"

"My younger sister and I were also very surprised when we first heard it."

"We only found out after asking around."

"Apparently, that Qin Feiyang can refine Top Grade elixirs, and the Elixir Pattern is exceptionally dazzling."

"I'd really like to see this Qin Feiyang in person."

Mu Qing said with a chuckle, a peculiar light flickering deep in his eyes.

"Brother, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Since that Qin Feiyang is so talented in alchemy, he'll definitely come to participate in the Elixir Tower trials."

"Brother Xui, don't you think so?" Mu Xue'er said.

"Yes." Qin Feiyang nodded with a smile.

Mu Xue'er sized up Qin Feiyang and asked, "Brother Xui, what were you doing last night? You look so battered."

After battling ferocious beasts all night, Qin Feiyang was covered in blood and had many injuries.

"I wasn't sleepy last night, and since I was idle anyway, I went outside the city to practice with some ferocious beasts and gain more combat experience," Qin Feiyang said with a smile.

Mu Xue'er said in realization, "Oh, so that's what happened. Brother Xui, you're truly hardworking."

Mu Qing's eyes glinted, and he smiled. "Brother Xui, you haven't registered yet, have you? My younger sister and I have nothing to do right now, so we'll go with you."

"Then I'll trouble you," Qin Feiyang said with a smile, cupping his hands.

The three of them withdrew from the crowd and lined up behind a large man, gradually moving towards the city gate.

What should I do? Qin Feiyang looked at the two guards, feeling quite anxious.

If he entered the city like this, his identity would surely be exposed.

Soon, it was Mu Qing and Mu Xue'er's turn for inspection.

Neither of them had any issues and entered the city smoothly.

Next, naturally, it was Qin Feiyang's turn!

The Mu siblings stopped and turned to look at Qin Feiyang, as if waiting for him.

However, deep within their eyes, an inexplicable glint flickered.

"Next," the two guards called out, looking down.

Qin Feiyang walked up to them.

"Little brother, it's you!"

When the guards looked up and saw Qin Feiyang, a smile immediately appeared on their faces.

Qin Feiyang smiled. "You two big brothers have been working hard."

"It can't be helped; this is our tiring lot in life."

"Not like you, little brother, free to go wherever you please, carefree and at ease."

"Looking at your battered state, you must have fought ferocious beasts all night!"

"How is it? Feeling more relaxed?" the two asked.

"Much more relaxed."

"When you two big brothers are done with this busy period, I'll treat you to some drinks so you can properly relax," Qin Feiyang said with a smile.

"Alright! We'll come find you then. Don't you dare go back on your word!" the two laughed heartily.

Qin Feiyang said, "I'll be ready anytime. I won't keep talking; the people behind are getting impatient, and it's time for my inspection."

"You don't need an inspection."

"Go straight in!" the two guards said with a smile.

Qin Feiyang was taken aback and said in a low voice, "Isn't that... inappropriate?"

"What's inappropriate about it?"

"We saw you leave the city last night with our own eyes. The blood on you isn't even dry yet. What could be the issue?"

"Stop dawdling and hurry inside!" the two guards waved him on.

"Alright then. I won't disturb you two from your official duties. We'll get together when we have time," Qin Feiyang said with a smile.

"Brother, hold on."

"Sky Thunder City has been very chaotic recently; you need to be careful," the two guards advised in a hushed tone.

"Thank you for the reminder, big brothers." Qin Feiyang cupped his hands in thanks and then walked towards the Mu siblings.

The siblings exchanged a look, a trace of surprise in their expressions.

"Let's go!" Qin Feiyang said with a smile.

The three of them walked shoulder to shoulder, striding into the city.

"Brother Xui, is this really your first time in Sky Thunder City?" Mu Xue'er looked at Qin Feiyang suspiciously.

"Why do you ask?" Qin Feiyang was perplexed.

Mu Xue'er said, "If it's your first time, how are you so familiar with those two guards? You didn't even need an inspection."

"When I left the city last night, I chatted with them for a while. They seemed like good people, worth befriending," Qin Feiyang explained casually.

"Oh!" Mu Xue'er nodded as if in sudden understanding.

"GET OUT OF THE WAY!"

Just then, a furious roar came from behind.

"Don't act so presumptuously here!"

"You must undergo inspection!"

Following that, the voices of the two guards sounded.

"Hm?"

Qin Feiyang frowned, turned his head, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

The two guards were blocking a young man dressed in leopard skin.

He recognized this person.

It was the Young Master of the Bright King Tribe!

Just last night, Qin Feiyang had even taken him hostage.

And behind this person were two fierce-looking burly men, also from the Bright King Tribe.

Their auras were very strong; Qin Feiyang judged them to be Nine-Star War Kings.

"Are you blind?"

"Don't you know who I am?"

The leopard-skinned youth glared arrogantly at the two guards, his face full of pride.

"I know who you are."

"But you still need to be inspected."

The two guards' stance was also very firm.

"How audacious!"

"Even this wanted notice was put up at my Bright King Tribe's request, and you dare to inspect me?"

"It seems you're tired of living."

"Shove them aside for me!" the leopard-skinned youth barked.

The two burly men behind him stepped forward, punching the two guards in the chest. THUD!

The two guards were sent flying, tumbling before Qin Feiyang and his companions, and spurted blood repeatedly.

The Eye of Heaven Stones also dropped to the ground.

The leopard-skinned youth crushed the two Eye of Heaven Stones underfoot and sneered, "Mere watchdogs, daring to block my path. Truly an overestimation of your own abilities!"

"What's the big deal about an inspection? To resort to violence, that's too much!"

"What can be done? Who told them to be from a powerful family with great influence?"

"Don't discuss it. If he hears, we'll definitely suffer."

Many people had also gathered behind Qin Feiyang's group.

They whispered among themselves, but no one dared to step forward to speak up for the two guards.

Qin Feiyang's gaze turned cold. He bent down to help the two up, asking with concern, "Big brothers, are you alright?"

"We're not dead yet."

"Never mind us. He's Luo Yi, son of the Bright King Tribe's Chieftain. You're an outsider with no family backing; you can't afford to provoke him."

"And don't worry, Sky Thunder City has rules. He wouldn't dare to actually kill us," the two guards whispered.

Qin Feiyang's eyes flickered slightly as he asked, "Since you knew his identity, why did you still insist on inspecting him?"

"Why not inspect him?"

"He's always swaggering around, looking down on us. We've long found him an eyesore."

"Today, we're really going to stand up to him to the end!" The two guards snorted coldly.

At this moment,

Luo Yi, flanked by the two burly men, walked up to them.

He glanced over Qin Feiyang and the others, and his eyes couldn't help but light up when he saw Mu Xue'er.

Then, he retracted his gaze, looking contemptuously at the two guards. "Apologize to me."

"He hit someone, and he still wants them to apologize?"

"That's too unreasonable!" Mu Xue'er muttered under her breath, feeling injustice for the two guards.

The leopard-skinned youth raised an eyebrow. "Little beauty, you need to understand a principle: some words should not be spoken carelessly."

Mu Qing frowned, then cupped his hands with a smile. "I apologize. My younger sister is young and insensible; please, brother, don't take offense."

"I actually think Miss Xue'er made a very good point."

"Coming to participate in the Elixir Tower trials and still bringing two little lackeys? As the rumors say, truly a profligate good-for-nothing," Qin Feiyang said with a light smile.

The two guards' expressions changed, and they quickly said, "Little brother, what are you meddling for? Leave quickly!"

"I just can't stand these cowardly good-for-nothings who rely on their family background to act tyrannically outside," Qin Feiyang said with a smile.

"What did you say?"

"If you have the guts, say it again!" The leopard-skinned youth's face darkened.

"This has nothing to do with him! If you have guts, come at us!" the two guards shouted angrily.

"Hah!" The leopard-skinned youth looked at the two in surprise.

"Although I don't dare kill people in Sky Thunder City, the City Lord won't say much if I teach a few pieces of trash a lesson." The leopard-skinned youth smirked playfully, his gaze suddenly turning cold as he ordered, "Cripple those two for me!"

Malice surged in the eyes of the two burly men behind him as they lunged, aiming punches at the two guards!

"COURTING DEATH!" Qin Feiyang sneered.

It was thanks to these two guards that his true identity hadn't been exposed.

He couldn't fail to repay this kindness!

He shoved the two guards aside, his hands shot out, golden light erupting from his palms as he clashed with the two burly men.

"ARGH!"

With painful cries, the two burly men were sent flying backward, their arms shattering on the spot!

"What?"

"He actually attacked?"

The surrounding crowd was dumbfounded.

Mu Qing and his sister exchanged a look, a trace of shock in their eyes as well.

The two guards were also utterly stunned. Sending those two burly men flying with a single palm strike—such formidable strength!

Luo Yi also stared at Qin Feiyang in disbelief. He was shocked by Qin Feiyang's strength and, moreover, by his audacity—how dare he harm men from his Bright King Tribe?
