Chapter 1098: Chapter 1034: Short-Circuited Mind

Upon hearing the Viper’s muttering, Heart Demon Qin Feiyang sneered, "Let me advise you, don’t underestimate anyone, especially me, Qin Feiyang. Also, stop questioning my words!"

The Viper’s gaze trembled, and a layer of green quickly crawled across his skin.

Heart Demon Qin Feiyang eyed him suspiciously.

"I’ve been with the Wealthy Elixir King and the others for hundreds of years; no one knows me better than them. If they see that I’ve sealed the toxins inside me, they will definitely be suspicious."

The Viper quickly explained.

"Not bad, very thoughtful."

Heart Demon Qin Feiyang nodded.

"Thank you, Master, for the praise."

The Viper said respectfully, then took out the Image Crystal Stone and sent messages to each of the Qinghai’s Ten Heroes.

Heart Demon Qin Feiyang stepped aside, watching coldly all along.

A moment passed.

Except for Wang Zicheng, all of the Qinghai’s Ten Heroes were informed.

Heart Demon Qin Feiyang then had the Viper call back the glamorous woman as well. Since she was a one-star War Emperor, she could be useful in case anything happened.

About an hour later.

Amidst the sound of waves, the glamorous woman returned riding on Viper No. 2.

"Huh?"

"Is that Ancestor Mu?"

"Yes, it is him. Although his hair and eyes have changed, his facial features are exactly the same."

"Why is he with Lord Viper?"

The people on the ship turned pale as soon as they saw Qin Feiyang.

"Greetings, Lord Viper!"

A group of people soared off the ship and landed before the Viper, greeting him respectfully.

The Viper nodded and pointed to Qin Feiyang, saying, "This is Qin..."

"Ahem!"

Heart Demon Qin Feiyang coughed lightly and stared at the Viper.

The Viper trembled and quickly corrected himself, "This is Lord Ancestor Mu, my master now, and you must all follow his command from now on."

"Master?"

"What’s going on?"

The glamorous woman and others were utterly shocked.

The Viper’s face turned cold, and he yelled, "What are you all standing there for? Kneel and greet the Lord!"

"Greetings, Lord Mu."

Immediately.

Hundreds of people knelt in the air, greeting respectfully, creating a spectacular sight.

"Hmm."

Heart Demon Qin Feiyang nodded coldly and waved his hand, "Except for Red Snake, everyone else, get lost."

"Get lost?"

Everyone looked at each other, wondering where to go.

The Viper shouted, "Hurry up and leave!"

"Where should we go?"

Someone asked.

Even if they’re getting lost, shouldn’t they be told where to go?

"Go wherever you like, just don’t be an eyesore here!"

The Viper anxiously shouted.

These were all subordinates he had painstakingly subdued. If they angered this calamity and were all killed, he would have no words to cry.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The group quickly agreed, then dispersed in all directions, swiftly disappearing at the edge of the sea.

"Master, what is going on?"

The glamorous woman glanced at Qin Feiyang and secretly asked the Viper.

The Viper sighed and transmitted, "It’s a long story; I’ll tell you later. Where is Viper No. 3?"

"I put it away."

The glamorous woman said.

The Viper muttered, "Good, put away Viper No. 2 as well."

The glamorous woman nodded. With a wave of her hand, Viper No. 2, which was hovering over the sea, began to shrink, eventually turning into a black light and merging into her forehead.

However, at this moment.

Heart Demon Qin Feiyang stretched out his hand and looked at the glamorous woman, "Give it to me!"

The glamorous woman was stunned and looked at the Viper.

The Viper’s face turned extremely unsightly, as it was clear Qin Feiyang wanted them to hand over Viper No. 2.

This was a genuine Holy Artifact.

Heart Demon Qin Feiyang said coldly, "Do I need to repeat myself?"

"No need, no need..."

The Viper hastily waved his hand and angrily looked at the glamorous woman, "If the Master asks you to give it, then give it immediately. What are you looking at me for?"

"Today is really bizarre."

The glamorous woman muttered angrily as well, but since the Viper had spoken, she dared not disobey.

She took out Viper No. 2, wiped off the Blood Covenant inside, and respectfully handed it to Qin Feiyang.

"And Viper No. 3."

Qin Feiyang said.

The glamorous woman’s face stiffened.

"Give!"

The Viper commanded.

Upon hearing this, the glamorous woman dutifully took out Viper No. 3 and handed it to Qin Feiyang.

Qin Feiyang immediately cut his finger, dripping blood to recognize it as his master.

"Purple-gold blood?"

The glamorous woman was taken aback, retreating beside the Viper, and transmitted her astonishment, "Master, what’s with his blood? It carries such a strong dragon’s power. Is he some kind of monster?"

"How would I know?"

"He might really be the reincarnation of a monster."

The Viper mumbled. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Explain my plan to her properly. Remember, don’t mess it up, or don’t blame me for being ruthless."

At this moment.

Qin Feiyang looked up at the Viper and said coldly, then put away Viper No. 2 and Viper No. 3, retreated a few meters, and sat cross-legged in the air, closing his eyes to rest.

"Plan?"

The glamorous woman was stunned, turning to look at the Viper questioningly.

The Viper glanced at Qin Feiyang and whispered a few words into the glamorous woman’s ear.

"What?"

Upon hearing it, the glamorous woman couldn’t help but turn pale with horror.

Is this person insane?

He’s actually plotting to subdue Qinghai’s Ten Heroes?

Suddenly.

Qin Feiyang opened his eyes and asked the two, "By the way, don’t you know Qin Feiyang?"

"Who is Qin Feiyang?"

The glamorous woman was puzzled.

"Qin Feiyang is such a famous person, and you don’t know him. It seems this Qinghai is truly an independent world as Wang Zicheng said."

Qin Feiyang mumbled and then closed his eyes again, falling silent.

The viper and the glamorous woman looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

...

Simultaneously.

Qin Feiyang’s inner world.

The inner world was still as before, a blood-red world.

And.

Blood rain started to fall from the sky, with a thick smell of blood filling the air.

In the very center of the inner world, a blood-colored figure stood in the void.

That figure was surrounded by a dense blood mist, obscuring the true appearance, only the tightly closed eyes and trembling body could be seen.

Swoosh!

Suddenly.

Another blood-clad youth appeared in the inner world, precisely Qin Feiyang’s Heart Demon.

The Heart Demon walked to the blood-colored figure, looking at the tightly shut eyes, his expression undecided.

"Alas!"

After a long, long time, the Heart Demon sighed deeply, reached out his hand, and pressed it on the blood-colored figure’s brow.

Instantly.

A rush of blood-red Evil Qi roared out from the blood-colored figure’s brow, continuously pouring into the Heart Demon’s palm, absorbed by the Heart Demon.

As the Evil Qi faded, the blood-colored figure gradually became clear.

After tens of breaths.

A face emerged clearly.

It was another Qin Feiyang!

But unlike the Heart Demon, as all Evil Qi drained away, this Qin Feiyang’s long hair turned black.

Moreover, his skin was identical to an ordinary person’s.

Simply the original Qin Feiyang!

"Such a good opportunity, instead of erasing his consciousness, I’ve saved him. When did I become so kind?"

"Am I still a Heart Demon?"

The Heart Demon withdrew his hand, full of annoyance.

Simultaneously.

The blood rain falling from the sky also ceased.

"Huh?"

Just as the Heart Demon’s words fell, the black-haired Qin Feiyang murmured weakly and then slowly opened his eyes.

"Where is this?"

Those eyes, as deep and bright as black gemstones, but at this moment revealed a trace of confusion.

"Inner world."

The Heart Demon rolled his eyes.

"This voice... sounds familiar..."

The black-haired Qin Feiyang looked at the Heart Demon, and his confused eyes immediately cleared, asking suspiciously, "Why is it you? How come I’m here?"

The Heart Demon immediately got angry, shouting, "Dare to ask me? When you first activated the Killing Art, you didn’t even try a bit?"

"Killing Art..."

The black-haired Qin Feiyang was taken aback.

Suddenly.

Pieces of memory emerged from the depths of his mind, and he quickly looked at the Heart Demon and asked, "How’s Lu Hong?"

"She’s fine."

"However, had I not intervened timely, not only Lu Hong but even the little wolf would’ve died at your hands."

The Heart Demon said coldly.

"Phew!"

The black-haired Qin Feiyang exhaled deeply, smiled, and said, "So it’s you who saved me?"

"Nonsense, who else can withstand the killing intent and Evil Qi in your body besides me?"

The Heart Demon glared fiercely at him.

"Killing intent, Evil Qi..."

The black-haired Qin Feiyang raised his eyebrows, inspecting himself.

"The Killing Art carries too heavy a killing aura, especially since you absorbed the blood of those Holy Beasts. It almost made you lose consciousness."

"But now it’s alright, I already absorbed all that killing intent and Evil Qi while you were unconscious."

The Heart Demon said indifferently.

"This..."

Qin Feiyang seemed to discover a new world, examining the Heart Demon thoroughly from top to bottom.

"Don’t look at me like that."

"I was also having a mental struggle earlier over whether to erase your consciousness and replace it."

"But it was bizarre, I ended up helping you instead."

The Heart Demon said angrily.

"That’s because you’ve developed feelings for me."

Qin Feiyang chuckled.

"Don’t make me sick, it was just a brain lapse this time, yeah, that’s it, don’t overthink."

"If there’s a next time, I definitely won’t show mercy."

The Heart Demon snorted from his nose.

Qin Feiyang laughed casually, cupping his hands, "Anyway, thanks for pulling me back from the grim reaper."

"Tsk!"

The Heart Demon disdainfully raised his middle finger, then grinned wickedly, "But Lu Hong and the others thought you died, and are now grieving in tears!"

Qin Feiyang was stunned, then said gruffly, "You didn’t take the chance to do anything, did you?"

"I’m not you, I’m a Heart Demon, definitely doing something more dishonorable."

The Heart Demon laughed and then angrily said, "You should’ve thought of a solution for the Heart Knot, it’s always causing trouble at crucial moments, it’s a pain."

"You..."

Qin Feiyang angrily glared at him.

Although he hadn’t seen the situation at the time, from the Heart Demon’s words, he could imagine what he’d done to Lu Hong.

The Heart Demon added, "On another note, Lu Hong is indeed wholeheartedly devoted to you, are you really going to let her down?"

"Don’t ask such pointed questions, can you?"

Qin Feiyang frowned.

"Even if I don’t ask, you’ll have to face it sooner or later, can’t pretend to be oblivious forever?"

The Heart Demon said.

Qin Feiyang pondered for a moment and said, "I’ll deal with it when it’s time, I’ll go out first to assure them so they don’t worry."

"Wait."

The Heart Demon raised an eyebrow and grabbed Qin Feiyang.
