Thirty-one Nine-Star War Saints, and one one-star War Emperor, all perished here.

This is the strength of the Qinghai Ten Outstanding Persons!

No wonder the one-armed old man repeatedly warned him at the beach to be careful of these ten people.

Originally, he didn’t take it seriously.

They’re not some ancient monsters, living fossils, how strong could they be?

But only after witnessing it did he realize it was even more terrifying than the one-armed old man described.

He didn’t expect to encounter the Qinghai Ten Outstanding Persons so soon.

And he met two of them. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

As for the transformation of the young burly man earlier, it seemed he also used some kind of forbidden technique.

"What a frightening bunch."

Qin Feiyang muttered softly, took a deep breath, then turned into a stream of light and flew towards Wang Zicheng and the other.

The blood mist around them was dissipating.

The hundred-foot body of the young burly man was rapidly shrinking, eventually returning to normal height.

He looked slightly older than before.

Obviously.

This forbidden technique of his also came at the cost of blood and lifespan.

Swoosh!

Qin Feiyang landed beside Wang Zicheng and shook his head with a smile, "I never thought you guys were the infamous Qinghai Ten Outstanding Persons."

"You didn’t know?"

The young burly man was surprised.

Qin Feiyang shook his head.

The young burly man said, "That’s strange, isn’t your relationship with Wang Zicheng good? He didn’t tell you?"

"I was afraid I’d scare him."

Wang Zicheng snorted.

Qin Feiyang raised an eyebrow and said, "Do I look like someone who gets scared easily? But honestly, are you hiding something, plotting secretly?"

"Possibly."

"I’m telling you, this guy is unreliable; don’t trust him easily, or one day he’ll sell you out, and you’ll still help him count the money."

The young burly man sneered without hesitation.

Wang Zicheng immediately glared angrily and shouted, "Stop spouting nonsense, ruining my reputation."

"Tch."

"Do you still have any reputation? Ridiculous."

The young burly man raised his middle finger contemptuously.

Qin Feiyang realized these two were sworn enemies, then turned and walked to the white-haired old man.

The white-haired old man struggled to lift his head, glaring at Qin Feiyang with eyes full of venom.

Qin Feiyang said calmly, "Even though your appearance is different from Guo Xiangzhong, I can confirm that you are indeed the confidant of the Kirin Tribe leader, Guo Xiangzhong."

"How do you know?"

Guo Xiangzhong said gloomily.

Qin Feiyang smiled faintly, "Because I have a spy in your Kirin Tribe, and this spy holds a not insignificant position."

"Who?"

Guo Xiangzhong was startled and suspicious.

"I cannot disclose that, but one day, you will meet him in the netherworld."

"Now answer one question for me. Answer truthfully, and I’ll give you a swift end."

"Was it you who attacked me last night?"

Qin Feiyang asked.

"Guess."

Guo Xiangzhong grinned menacingly.

Qin Feiyang gave him a deep look, then turned to Wang Zicheng and the other, smiling, "He’s your prey; deal with him as you wish!"

Wang Zicheng glanced at the white-haired old man and said, "Just throw him into the sea to feed the fish, but..."

At this point.

He chuckled, darting towards the white-haired old man, targeting the old man’s Qiankun Bag.

"Don’t even think about it!"

Almost simultaneously, the young burly man shouted, his fan-like hand swiftly reaching out and grabbing Wang Zicheng’s arm.

"I was the one who disabled him, so the Qiankun Bag should be mine. Why are you snatching it?"

Wang Zicheng said angrily.

"Without me fighting him head-on, would you have had the chance to disable him?"

The young burly man snorted from his nose and tossed Wang Zicheng aside like a ragdoll.

Then.

He stepped forward and snatched the white-haired old man’s Qiankun Bag.

"Hate!"

"To think that I, a noble War Emperor, would fall at the hands of three young punks, it’s unbearable!"

The white-haired old man shouted in grief and indignation.

"Unbearable or not, you still have to die!"

The young burly man’s eyes turned cold, and with a stomp, the old man’s head exploded like a watermelon.

Qin Feiyang clicked his tongue secretly.

This guy is even more ruthless than Wang Zicheng.

What’s scarier is that even though he’s physically strong, he’s not simple-minded.

"You big savage bull, you’re too much!"

At this moment.

Thrown away by the young burly man, Wang Zicheng roared back furiously.

"What?"

"Do you still want to fight?"

"In your current state, even with all your skills on display, you don’t stand a chance."

The young burly man scoffed coldly, inspecting the white-haired old man’s Qiankun Bag.

"Fine."

"Today was bad luck for me."

"Let’s wait and see who has the last laugh."

Wang Zicheng glared at him viciously, then sat aside, closing his eyes to heal.

"Afraid of you?"

The young burly man disdainfully glanced at him and continued to inspect the Qiankun Bag.

A moment later.

He raised an eyebrow, angrily, "Even at an old age, not a single decent treasure, how disappointing!"

He then clenched his large hand, crushing the Qiankun Bag, and sat cross-legged, taking a healing elixir to recuperate.

"Hmm?"

Qin Feiyang’s eyes showed surprise and doubt.

He caught sight that the young man’s healing pill astonishingly had five elixir lines!

He walked to Wang Zicheng and discreetly asked, "Brother Wang, is this friend of yours an Alchemist?"

"Does he look like an Alchemist to you?"

Wang Zicheng gave him a big eye-roll.

"Not at all."

Qin Feiyang shook his head, then asked, "Where did the healing pill he just took come from?"

Wang Zicheng conveyed through voice, "A friend of his made it, who is also my friend."

"A friend?"

"Could it be someone from the top ten talents of Qinghai?"

Qin Feiyang asked.

"Yes."

Wang Zicheng nodded, then opened his eyes to look at Qin Feiyang with suspicion and said, "Why are you inquiring about this? Do you plan to have him refine pills for you? But I advise you to give up."

Qin Feiyang was stunned and asked, "Why?"

"This person is difficult, hard to get along with."

"Moreover, he never refines pills for strangers, and even if we as old friends of many years ask him to refine pills, he demands rewards."

"To put it bluntly, he’s just a profit-driven person."

Wang Zicheng said with a hint of annoyance in his expression.

Qin Feiyang smiled and said, "Well, Alchemists do tend to be a bit arrogant."

"Is being an Alchemist all that impressive?"

"Even though I’m not an Alchemist, I still dominate one side of Qinghai, don’t I?"

Wang Zicheng said disdainfully.

Qin Feiyang gave a wry smile, it seems this guy has quite a prejudice against Alchemists!

Wang Zicheng added, "But for the sake of brotherhood, if there’s truly something you want to be refined, I can help you find him."

"No need for that."

"After all, when it comes to Alchemy, I won’t be outdone by anyone."

Qin Feiyang said with a faint smile.

"Oh?"

Wang Zicheng hesitated, surprised as he looked at Qin Feiyang, discreetly asked, "Brother, could it be that you are also an Alchemist?"

Qin Feiyang chuckled and said, "I’m going for a walk around the island."

With that, he turned and left swiftly.

After Qin Feiyang left, the young man opened his eyes, glanced at Qin Feiyang’s back, then turned to Wang Zicheng and said, "Your friend is quite mysterious!"

Wang Zicheng replied, "I realized that long ago, no need for you to remind me."

The young man, unusually calm without arguing, asked, "Who is he really?"

Wang Zicheng furrowed his brows and said, "He claims he’s Ancestor Mu, the General Tower Master’s direct disciple, but I always feel like he’s boasting."

"The General Tower Master’s direct disciple!"

The young man’s eyes flashed, and he said, "I don’t think so."

"Do you like going against me?"

Wang Zicheng angrily asked.

"This time I’m not contradicting you."

"Earlier, when Guo Xiangzhong chased him into the sea to kill him, did you notice anything?"

The young man said.

Wang Zicheng looked at him with suspicion and said, "I was caught up in fighting, didn’t pay attention."

"You didn’t notice, but I did."

"After Guo Xiangzhong chased him into the sea, he immediately started freaking out, indicating that when he entered the sea, he lost track of this person."

"In other words, the instant he entered the sea, he escaped Guo Xiangzhong’s sight."

"Tell me, could you do that in such a short time?"

The young man said.

"Only if I activated a Forbidden Technique."

Wang Zicheng said.

"Exactly, it requires activating a Forbidden Technique."

"Yet this person is only a one-star War Saint, how did he manage to do it?"

"So I suspect, this person must have some incredible hidden abilities."

"For someone like this, it’s not impossible for the Tower Master to take a liking to him."

The young man said.

"Makes sense."

Wang Zicheng nodded, with an inscrutable look in his eyes.

"Looks like you’re plotting something again."

The young man looked at Wang Zicheng’s expression, his rugged face full of disdain.

...

Meanwhile.

Qin Feiyang arrived in a forest, glanced around, and instantly vanished without a trace.

Inside the ancient castle!

Lu Hong and the others opened their eyes, looking at him with concern.

Qin Feiyang smiled and said, "It’s nothing, you all continue your training."

Afterward, he took out that jade box, wiped off the dust on it, and began to examine it carefully.

The jade box was carved from a rare jade, without a single impurity or flaw, and after wiping off the dust, it glimmered with a faint, ethereal glow.

However.

There wasn’t a single crack on the entire jade box, it appeared seamless, and if it weren’t for the obvious carving marks, he might have thought it was a complete treasure jade.

"Could there be some mechanism?"

The Ghost Snake Emperor asked.

Qin Feiyang said, "The jade box is just this big, if there were any mechanisms, I would’ve noticed."

"So what now?"

"Just stare at it blankly?"

The Ghost Snake Emperor said.

"Heh!"

"How could such a small matter stump me?"

Qin Feiyang grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, then with a flip of his hand, Blue Snow appeared out of nowhere.

Blue Snow could even slice through Mu Tianyang’s ribs, let alone this thing.

However, he was very cautious.

After all, no one knows what’s inside the jade box, and if it truly is a valuable treasure, having Blue Snow damage it would be a big loss.

Qin Feiyang crouched down, placed the jade box on the ground, and tested it with Blue Snow, lightly cutting a slit, then steadied himself, and gradually cut it open.
