Chapter 777: Chapter 742: The Powerful Missus, Prior Conditions!_1
"You still dare to show your face before the Lady? I must admit, your audacity is impressive."
"If you’re not afraid of death, co with us."
The snake-skin old man and the burly man sneered, then dove toward the area below. Qin Feiyang followed unhurriedly behind them, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Below lay a garden, spanning about a thousand feet, covered in a blanket of white snow. To one side of the garden stood a great hall, tall and imposing, exuding an ancient aura. At the entrance, guards clad in leopard-skin coats stood ramrod straight, their eyes alert.
WHOOSH!
The three of them landed before the great hall.
"Greetings to you, Sirs."
The guards imdiately bowed to the burly man and his companion in salute.
Qin Feiyang teased, "Quite an imposing presence, huh!"
"Silence!"
The snake-skin old man barked, then said to the burly man, "You stand guard outside. I’ll take him in."
"Understood." The burly man nodded.
"Follow ."
Without a backward glance at Qin Feiyang, the snake-skin old man strode into the great hall.
"He certainly has the makings of a guard dog," Qin Feiyang quipped, casting a playful glance at the burly man before entering the great hall himself.
CRACK!
The burly man clenched his fists tightly, his eyes fixed on Qin Feiyang as a shocking killing intent emanated from his body.
A guard beside him whispered, "Sir, is he truly Qin Feiyang?"
The burly man nodded. "Yes."
"Our idol!"
Admiration imdiately filled the eyes of the guards.
However, witnessing their reactions, the burly man’s brows shot up, his expression growing even more sinister. The surrounding guards, however, didn’t notice his darkening expression; they continued to huddle together, whispering excitedly among themselves.
"Rumor has it that years ago, Qin Feiyang and his group not only stole the Elixir Fire from the Purple Sun Tribe, the Bright King Tribe, and the Black Tortoise Tribe, but they also plundered their treasuries! They made quite a na for themselves!"
"I’ve heard about that too."
"And what’s more, this Qin Feiyang was once accepted as a closed-door disciple by the Tower Master of the Elixir Tower."
"I rember our Old Family Head also died at his hands."
"Tsk, tsk. He’s truly a formidable character!"
"I never imagined we’d actually get to see him in person."
"..."
Listening to these murmurs, the burly man’s gaze grew increasingly grim.
"Silence!"
Finally, he whirled around, his glare sweeping over the guards. "If I hear the na ’Qin Feiyang’ one more ti," he said nacingly, "don’t bla
for being ruthless!"
The guards flinched, instantly falling silent, their eyes filled with fear.
「anwhile.」
Qin Feiyang, following the snake-skin old man, proceeded directly to the second floor of the great hall.
They stopped before a door.
The snake-skin old man raised his arm and knocked gently. "Madam," he said respectfully, "Qin Feiyang has returned."
BOOM!
Before his words even registered, the door before Qin Feiyang and the old man was obliterated by an imnse force.
The snake-skin old man was startled and instinctively recoiled.
Imdiately after, a beautiful woman appeared in the doorway as swift as lightning. She wore a mink fur coat, her jet-black hair coiffed high, exuding an air of nobility and opulence.
Yes. It was the mysterious Lady.
She stood in the doorway, staring at Qin Feiyang, her beautiful face contorted with fury and murderous intent.
Seeing this, a hint of schadenfreude crept onto the face of the snake-skin old man standing nearby.
But Qin Feiyang remained calm, showing not a shred of fear. He smiled and said, "Senior, I know you’ve missed , but there’s no need to be *this* excited to see !"
"UH!" The snake-skin old man stumbled, nearly falling flat on his face. Is this man out of his mind? How dare he tease the Lady?
Seeing the snake-skin old man’s pathetic display, the beautiful woman’s anger flared even hotter. "Useless trash! Get out!"
The snake-skin old man trembled and hastily scrambled downstairs, practically tumbling as he went.
Then, the beautiful woman fixed Qin Feiyang with an ice-cold, piercing gaze and said, "You dare to return?"
Qin Feiyang smiled faintly. "I’ve done nothing wrong. Why wouldn’t I dare to return?"
After speaking, without waiting for the beautiful woman to respond, he walked into her room of his own accord and casually surveyed his surroundings. After so many years, the decor hadn’t changed much.
The beautiful woman’s fine brows furrowed. She turned to Qin Feiyang and asked, "Then why did you flee all those years ago?"
"The leaders of the three tribes, the City Lord of Sky Thunder City, and the Tower Master of the Elixir Tower—they all wanted to grind my bones to dust. Could I have chosen not to flee?" Qin Feiyang replied with a wry smile.
"Is that so?" The beautiful woman’s gaze was unfriendly. "But as I recall, you had already escaped danger by then, hadn’t you?"
What a troubleso woman, Qin Feiyang thought, a headache blooming. He conceded helplessly, "Alright, I admit it. We chose to flee back then because we genuinely wanted to escape your control."
The beautiful woman said, "I’m afraid that’s only part of it!"
"Hm?" Qin Feiyang was startled and asked doubtfully, "Senior, what do you an by that?"
"Stop playing dumb with . You’re not from the Land of Oblivion at all."
"I surmise that your purpose for visiting the Land of Oblivion last ti was for the Fla of Sky Thunder."
"Am I wrong?" the beautiful woman asked.
Qin Feiyang’s pupils contracted. This woman’s mind was terrifyingly sharp!
"Tell , who are you really?" the beautiful woman demanded. "And what is your purpose in coming to the Land of Oblivion this ti?"
"Then, can you tell
who *you* are?" Qin Feiyang’s eyes glinted as he countered. "You should know, even the Imperial Capital of the Great Qin Empire doesn’t possess many perfect War Techniques. Yet back then, you gifted us seven perfect War Techniques in one go. Seven perfect War Techniques—do you understand the significance of that? I imagine your background isn’t simple either!"
"So, you do rember I gifted you seven perfect War Techniques? Such imnse kindness, and this is how you repay ?" The beautiful woman laughed, though it was laced with anger.
"We certainly haven’t forgotten your great kindness towards us, Senior. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have co to visit you a_s soon as I arrived in the Land of Oblivion," Qin Feiyang said with a grin.
The beautiful woman’s face darkened. "Cut the nonsense and answer my questions!" she snapped.
"Very well!" Qin Feiyang said with a light smile. "To be perfectly honest, I’ve returned to the Land of Oblivion still seeking the Fla of Sky Thunder. As for my identity, I’m just a nobody; it’s not worth ntioning."
"Really?" The beautiful woman looked at him skeptically.
"Truer than pearls," Qin Feiyang nodded.
The beautiful woman mulled it over for a mont, then nodded. "Fine, I’ll believe you for now. However, your visit isn’t rely to see , is it?"
Qin Feiyang gave a wry laugh. "It seems nothing can be hidden from your discerning eyes, Senior. Indeed, I’ve co to ask for your assistance."
"I cannot possibly help you," the beautiful woman said, a hint of apprehension in her tone. "Because, for now, I have no wish to make an enemy of the Elixir Tower."
Qin Feiyang was sowhat puzzled. Back then, this woman had managed to rescue them from the Tower Master himself, which was enough to prove her strength was no less than the Tower Master’s. If she possessed such power, what could she possibly have to fear?
The beautiful woman offered no explanation, continuing, "I also advise you to abandon any thought of seizing the Fla of Sky Thunder. Doing so will only bring you endless trouble."
Qin Feiyang frowned.
"Believe ," the beautiful woman said, "I am not exaggerating to scare you."
"This..." Qin Feiyang hesitated for a mont, then smiled. "I’ll think about it. By the way, Senior, there’s one more thing I’d like to ask for your help with."
"What is it?" the beautiful woman asked, perplexed.
With a thought, Qin Feiyang manifested a cluster of Elixir Fire. It was precisely the Fifth Grade Elixir Fire he had stolen from the Elixir Palace.
"Ah!" "A Fifth Grade Elixir Fire?" The beautiful woman was visibly surprised.
Qin Feiyang, his expression unreadable, asked, "Senior, could you help
erase the Blood Covenant within this Elixir Fire?"
"Let
see." The beautiful woman waved her hand, and her Battle Intent surged towards the Elixir Fire.
This Blood Covenant... A look of shock imdiately crossed the beautiful woman’s face.
"WHOOSH!" She looked up at Qin Feiyang. "Who was the original owner of this Elixir Fire?"
Qin Feiyang answered vaguely, "A formidable expert I cannot afford to provoke."
"You couldn’t afford to provoke him, yet you still managed to steal his Elixir Fire?" The beautiful woman stared at him in disbelief.
"Good fortune," Qin Feiyang said with an awkward smile.
"Fortune?" the beautiful woman said. "I don’t believe you’re *that* fortunate. I can erase this Blood Covenant, but I have one condition."
What? She can erase it?! Qin Feiyang was inwardly astonished. He knew this cluster of Elixir Fire belonged to the Hall Master of the Elixir Palace in the Temple. That individual’s cultivation was definitely beyond the War Ancestor realm. For the beautiful woman to be so self-assured, could it be that her strength surpassed even that of the Elixir Palace’s Hall Master?
He began to feel a sense of regret. If he had known this beautiful woman was so outrageously powerful, he would never have returned, not even if it cost him his life.
Slightly calming the shock in his heart, he asked, "What condition?"
"Continue to follow ," the beautiful woman stated.
"This..." After a brief hesitation, Qin Feiyang nodded. "That’s not a problem."
The family backing Mu Qing was both terrifying and mysterious. If he were to investigate alone, he would likely find it very difficult to uncover anything. However, if he had the beautiful woman’s help, he might achieve results much more easily. Taking a step back, even if the beautiful woman couldn’t assist much with this particular matter, she could still ensure his safety at critical monts. In other words, he would gain a powerful backer.
"Don’t agree so readily," the beautiful woman said. "There’s a prerequisite: you must be controlled by the Enslavent Mark."
This boy is too cunning, the beautiful woman thought. Without the Enslavent Mark to bind him, the events of a few years ago might repeat themselves.
Hearing this, Qin Feiyang’s brow instantly furrowed!
The snake-skin old man and the burly man served the beautiful woman so devotedly precisely because they were controlled by this Enslavent Mark.
Furthermore, he vividly rembered the beautiful woman stating years ago that once soone was controlled by the Enslavent Mark, she could kill them from a thousand miles away with a re thought.
In other words, once bound by the Enslavent Mark, no matter where you fled, you could never escape the beautiful woman’s grasp.
Qin Feiyang waved his hand, retracting the Elixir Fire. He shook his head and said, "I’m sorry, I don’t like being controlled."
Saying this, Qin Feiyang turned and left without the slightest hesitation.
He was fleeing in absolute panic!
Previously, he had only thought this woman was exceedingly strong, but not necessarily terrifying. But upon hearing she could actually erase the Blood Covenant within the Elixir Fire, he instantly recognized her as an entity he absolutely could not afford to provoke.
Unexpectedly, however, the beautiful woman did not try to stop him. She rely watched Qin Feiyang depart in silence.
But once Qin Feiyang had disappeared from her sight, a aningful smile touched her lips.
