"That's exactly what I was waiting for!"

The Wolf King grinned and, using the Evacuation Step, was standing before the prison gate in the blink of an eye.

"Qin Feiyang, don't you care about their lives?"

Wei Zhongyang panicked. He had wanted to take the opportunity to humiliate Qin Feiyang, but he never expected Qin Feiyang to be unfazed by his threats.

"They're not in your hands at all. What are you threatening me with?" Qin Feiyang sneered, positioning himself behind Wei Zhongyang.

Wei Zhongyang paused, glared sullenly at the Wolf King, then turned to Qin Feiyang. "Indeed, they're not in my hands. Still, with just one word from me, they're as good as dead!"

"I'm well aware," Qin Feiyang said with a confident smile. "But as long as I don't give you an opportunity to send a message, they won't be in danger."

Previously, he had been contemplating whether to follow Lu Hong's advice and take Wei Zhongyang down straight away. However, he was concerned that Wei Zhongyang might truly harm Lin Yiyi and Lo Qianxue. Therefore, he needed to first establish if Lin Yiyi and Lo Qianxue were really in Wei Zhongyang's hands. Based on his earlier observations and Wei Zhongyang's various reactions, he was almost certain that they were not. As long as they were not in Wei Zhongyang's hands, things would be much easier to handle.

Fatty, Lu Hong, and the mountain beast retreated behind Qin Feiyang, folded their arms across their chests, and smirked at Wei Zhongyang.

"Damn it, damn it!" Wei Zhongyang was furious.

With the Wolf King blocking the way in front and Qin Feiyang intercepting him from behind, escape was impossible! What was he to do?

Suddenly, he spun around and sprang towards Qin Feiyang.

In his eyes, Qin Feiyang's strength was slightly inferior to that of the Wolf King. Of course, he did not truly intend to fight Qin Feiyang directly. He hoped to blast Qin Feiyang aside or force him back, so he could then attack Lu Hong, Fatty, and the mountain beast. Because they were the weakest among them. If he could capture one of them, Qin Feiyang and the Wolf King wouldn't dare to do anything to him.

But he had greatly underestimated Qin Feiyang. The current Qin Feiyang wouldn't hesitate to take a gamble, even against a Nine-Star War Emperor, let alone an Eight-star War Emperor!

"If I were you, I would kneel and beg for mercy now," Qin Feiyang sneered, pressed forward, and aimed a palm strike at Wei Zhongyang.

"I don't believe that an Eight-star War Emperor like me can't deal with a Four-star War Emperor like you!" Wei Zhongyang roared in anger. His Battle Intent surged, and he hurled a punch.

BOOM!

The instant their fist and palm collided, golden energy surged from Qin Feiyang's palm!

"Ahh..." Immediately, Wei Zhongyang screamed in pain and was sent flying sideways. His arm was torn open!

Qin Feiyang's arm trembled, a ripping pain coursing through it, but it was still within his endurance.

"How could this be?" Wei Zhongyang was shocked and enraged. "My strength was actually bounced back at me! What kind of battle art is this?!" He utterly failed to notice the deadly danger descending upon him.

Because, at the same time Wei Zhongyang was blasted back, the Wolf King, who was guarding the gate, sprang into action. It advanced one step, seized a rib bone, and before Wei Zhongyang could react, struck the back of his head.

BANG!

"AAAH..." Wei Zhongyang was knocked to the ground instantly. He clutched his head and screamed, blood pooling around him.

"Have you ever heard the saying, 'the higher you jump, the harder you fall'?" Qin Feiyang stepped forward, crossed his arms, and looked down condescendingly at Wei Zhongyang. "How does it feel now?" His gaze was like he was looking at a buffoon.

"Heh, are you feeling foolish now?" Fatty also walked up, sneering. "You thought you were invincible, that everything was under your control. But what's happening now is far from what you anticipated."

"You should only take on as much as you can handle." Lu Hong and the mountain beast also walked to Qin Feiyang's side, glaring at Wei Zhongyang with contempt. "Daring to plot against us—weren't you just asking to be killed?"

Wei Zhongyang glanced at the three humans and two beasts, then said coldly, "You will regret this, I'm telling you!"

"Really?" Qin Feiyang shook his head, a murderous glint in his eyes. "To be honest, I've never taken you or the Dong Family seriously. It wouldn't have mattered to me whether you lived or died, as long as you stayed out of my way. Unfortunately, you're too clueless for your own good."

The Wolf King understood instantly. He struck Wei Zhongyang in the abdomen with the bone. With a cracking sound, his Qi Sea shattered!

"You little bastard! Even as a ghost, I won't let you off!" Wei Zhongyang roared, his body racked with excruciating pain.

"What are you screaming about?" the Wolf King demanded. "Quick, where are Lin Yiyi and the others now? If you tell me, I might even give you a chance to become a ghost."

"Heh heh heh..." Wei Zhongyang cackled. "Want to know where they are? Dream on! Just wait to collect their corpses!"

If he spoke, he would die; if he didn't, he would still die. He might as well drag two others down with him to be buried together.

"Still stubborn?" The Wolf King grinned wickedly. "But I have plenty of ways to deal with you!"

Qin Feiyang's eyes glinted. "Don't waste time. Kill him!"

"Huh?" The Wolf King was taken aback.

Fatty and the others also looked at him, surprised and puzzled.

Qin Feiyang said, "I have a lead now. It won't be hard to find them."

Hearing this, Fatty and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Who knew Qin Feiyang better than them? He never did anything he wasn't certain about. Since he'd said so, he definitely had a way.

"Old fool, go repent in hell!" The Wolf King's eyes gleamed ferociously as he ruthlessly struck down with the bone.

"Wait." Fatty suddenly reached out, grabbed the rib, and shook his head. "We can't kill him yet."

"Why not?" The Wolf King was puzzled.

"Because once he dies, the Image Crystal Stone will be useless, and those who established a contract bridge with him might sense it," Fatty explained, smoothly snatching Wei Zhongyang's Qiankun Bag as he spoke.

"Good point. You guys keep an eye on him for now." Qin Feiyang waved his hand, sending Fatty, Lu Hong, the mountain beast, and Wei Zhongyang into the ancient castle.

The Wolf King put away the rib and asked, "What's the plan next, Xiao Qinzi?"

Qin Feiyang replied, "Of course, we're going to the Dong Family. But before we do that, we need to find an Eight-star War Emperor to replace Wei Zhongyang."

The Wolf King asked, "Replace him? Why?"

"You'll know soon."

Qin Feiyang bowed his head in contemplation for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he too entered the ancient castle.

AHHH!!!

Screams of agony abruptly filled their ears. They saw Wei Zhongyang being brutally tormented by Fatty.

Qin Feiyang glanced at Wei Zhongyang without any sympathy and asked, "Have you seen his key?"

"Just found it." Lu Hong handed Qin Feiyang a black token and a five-pointed star badge.

"I only need this." Qin Feiyang grabbed the black token and appeared in the prison. Then he called for the Wolf King, and they entered the cell.

"What on earth are you doing?" The Wolf King watched him, puzzled.

Qin Feiyang gave a secretive smile, stood at the cell door, and infused the black token with Battle Intent. A beam of light shot out and merged into the prison gate.

RUMBLE!

The gate slowly opened.

Qin Feiyang put away the token, cleared his throat, and mimicked Wei Zhongyang's voice, "Fan Jian, come in, and close the door on your way!"

"Yes, sir!" Fan Jian, standing outside the gate, replied respectfully and then, with a hint of suspicion, stepped into the prison.

BOOM!

As soon as the gate closed tightly, Qin Feiyang stepped out of the cell and smiled, "Brother Fan, we meet again."

"Why is it you?" Fan Jian was startled and asked suspiciously, "Where is the Guard Commander?"

Qin Feiyang replied, "I've neutralized him. It was me mimicking his voice just now."

"What?" Fan Jian's expression changed drastically. He glanced at the prison gate, then leaned close to Qin Feiyang and whispered, "Are you insane? He's the Guard Commander now! If you do this, Commander Wang Hong won't let you off easy!"

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Qin Feiyang smiled. "I'd like to propose a deal with you, Brother Fan."

"A deal?" Fan Jian furrowed his brow.

"Yes. I want you to disguise yourself as Wei Zhongyang, accompany me to the Dong Family, and investigate something," Qin Feiyang said.

"Investigate what?" Fan Jian asked, puzzled.

Qin Feiyang said, "To tell you the truth, Wei Zhongyang and his group abducted two of my relatives, and I must find them as soon as possible."

"What?" Fan Jian was greatly shocked. "Wei Zhongyang actually stooped so low?"

The Wolf King sneered, "You haven't experienced his true despicableness yet."

Fan Jian glanced at the Wolf King, then turned to Qin Feiyang. "We're old friends; I'll definitely help you. But Wei Zhongyang is an Eight-star War Emperor, and I am only a Five Star War Emperor. I'm afraid I'll be exposed."

"That's the crux of the deal. I can help you break through directly to Nine-Star War Emperor," Qin Feiyang said.

"I-Is that really possible?" Fan Jian's body shook. He was immediately thrilled, yet looked at Qin Feiyang with some apprehension.

Qin Feiyang nodded.

Fan Jian was ecstatic. "Great! I'll do whatever you say. I'm all yours."

Qin Feiyang took out a Nine-Bend Yellow Dragon Pill and handed it to Fan Jian.

"This is... Five Elixir Patterns!" Fan Jian was dumbfounded. He had seen a pill with one pattern. He had also seen one with two, as the Treasure Pavilion had auctioned off quite a few. But this was the first time in his life he had ever seen a pill with five Elixir Patterns!

Qin Feiyang grinned. "Take it, and you'll soar to new heights immediately."

Trembling, Fan Jian extended his hand, grabbed the Nine-Bend Yellow Dragon Pill, and asked, "If this pill were auctioned off, how much could it fetch?"

Qin Feiyang thought for a moment. "Enough for a person's lifetime of cultivation."

"A lifetime!" Fan Jian trembled in body and soul, now somewhat reluctant to consume it.

The Wolf King rolled his eyes disdainfully. "Look at your lack of ambition. It's just a pill. Is it worth making such a fuss? Hurry up; don't waste time."

"How would you understand the hardships of a small fry like me?" Fan Jian mumbled. "I feel like I'm dreaming right now."

SLAP!

The Wolf King sprang up, slapped Fan Jian's shoulder with a paw, and asked, "Are you dreaming?"

Fan Jian grimaced in pain, yet his face was filled with joy. Without any more hesitation, he tossed the Nine-Bend Yellow Dragon Pill into his mouth.

BOOM!!!

Within five breaths, Fan Jian's cultivation rocketed, soaring straight to Nine-Star War Emperor.

"Another supreme powerhouse created," the Wolf King murmured. "First Yan Nanshan, then Yin Yuanming, then Lv Yun, and now Fan Jian. The Nine-Bend Yellow Dragon Pill is truly heaven-defying. At the same time, it also proves one thing."

"What's that?" Qin Feiyang asked, puzzled.

"Only by becoming our friend will one's future be bright," the Wolf King chuckled.

Qin Feiyang couldn't help but laugh.
