Immortal God of War

Chapter 1205: Chapter 1140: Reunion with Lu Xingchen!

After that.

Qin Feiyang didn’t go anywhere else.

He spent three days building a courtyard.

And in front of the courtyard, he created an artificial lake.

From then on.

Qin Feiyang settled there.

During the day, he fished by the lake.

At night, he meditated quietly in the courtyard.

He ate three meals a day, rain or shine.

His empty heart grew fuller with each passing day of this peaceful life.

In the blink of an eye.

Three months passed.

Boom!

That night, his cultivation broke through to Five-Star War Saint.

But the breakthrough in his cultivation didn’t disrupt his peaceful life; everything remained as usual.

He seemed like a recluse, hidden in the mountains, oblivious to the happenings outside, living like a common man.

...

One morning!

A burly man dressed in golden armor descended above Butterfly Valley.

"Where is everyone?"

Seeing the deathly silent Butterfly Valley, the golden-armored man frowned deeply.

Suddenly.

His gaze locked onto a certain spot below.

He saw hundreds of corpses lying on the ground, already showing signs of decay!

"What’s going on?"

The golden-armored man’s face was filled with disbelief.

"Where is Wang Hong?"

Suddenly!

He roared towards the sky, his voice like a bell, echoing through the clouds!

Swish!

Not long after.

Wang Hong appeared above Butterfly Valley and changed color drastically seeing the bodies below.

The golden-armored man looked at Wang Hong and asked darkly, "What happened here?"

"I don’t know."

Wang Hong shook his head.

"Over a hundred Black Iron Army soldiers killed, even a deputy commander; such a major incident and you’re telling me you don’t know?"

The golden-armored man was furious.

Wang Hong trembled, hurriedly said, "I truly don’t know, I’ve always been in the State City, never been to Butterfly Valley."

The golden-armored man scrutinized Wang Hong, seeing no signs of lying, asked, "Then did you hear anything unusual?"

"No."

Wang Hong shook his head again.

Actually, he had been in Butterfly Valley then, and denying it now was clearly to protect Qin Feiyang.

"Strange, who has the power to silently kill these Black Iron Army soldiers?"

The golden-armored man frowned deeply.

Wang Hong nodded, "It’s indeed very odd. The deputy commander was a Nine-Star War Saint, to silently kill him, the person’s power must be..."

Saying this.

Both men’s eyes trembled, speaking simultaneously, "War Emperor!"

The golden-armored man had a dark expression, wondering, "Could it be that Qin Feiyang has returned?"

"Qin Feiyang?"

Wang Hong was stunned, shook his head, "I don’t think it’s him, because he’s a smart person and wouldn’t come back to die, and his cultivation couldn’t have quickly broken through to War Emperor."

"Makes sense."

"But the deaths in Butterfly Valley are indeed too bizarre."

"I will return to the Imperial Capital and report this incident."

"You should also take people to properly investigate, see if anyone suspicious has appeared recently in State City."

"If there is, no matter who it is, act first and report later!"

In the golden-armored man’s eyes flashed a chilling light, then he flew toward the secret chamber’s teleportation altar below.

"Farewell, sir!"

Wang Hong bowed and sent him off.

After the golden-armored man disappeared, he looked up at the sky, muttering, "It seems Spirit State is about to change."

With that, he opened the teleportation portal and left.

...

At noon!

The golden-armored man descended again above Butterfly Valley.

But this time, he was not alone; a large group of Black Iron Army soldiers followed!

A quick glance, no less than a thousand people!

Each one exuded a deadly aura!

The golden-armored man shouted, "Split into ten teams, each with a hundred people, start a thorough search from State City, bring back anyone above War Saint and fierce beasts!"

"Understood!"

A group of Black Iron Army soldiers shouted in unison, then scattered in all directions like lightning.

...

At the same time!

Imperial Capital, Temple!

Inside a certain alchemy room, a young man in white sat cross-legged, meditating with closed eyes.

Knock!!

Suddenly.

A knocking sound echoed.

The young man in white opened his eyes, looked at the stone door, "Come in."

The stone door opened, a red-haired man in his twenties walked into the cultivation room and bowed, "Greetings, master."

"What’s the matter?"

The young man in white asked.

The red-haired man said, "Just now, subordinates received news that the Black Iron Army stationed at Butterfly Valley was all killed, including the deputy commander."

"What?"

The young man in white stood up suddenly, eyes full of amazement.

The red-haired man said, "Master, do you think he has returned?"

"You mean Qin Feiyang?"

The young man in white asked.

"Those Black Iron Army soldiers are very powerful, there’s no one in Spirit State who could kill them."

"Moreover, who in the Great Qin Empire doesn’t know the name of the Black Iron Army? Ordinary people wouldn’t dare lay a finger on them."

"Most crucially, this happened at Butterfly Valley, so it’s only Qin Feiyang."

The red-haired man said.

"Makes sense."

The young man in white nodded.

"I also found out that the deceased deputy commander returned once to the Imperial Capital three months ago."

"Not long after, he left again."

The red-haired man spoke.

"I returned to the Imperial Capital..."

The young man in white’s eyes flickered, asking, "How long has it been since the Black Iron Army in Butterfly Valley died?"

The red-haired man said, "I’m not sure, but it’s said that the corpses already show signs of decay."

"If I remember correctly, the Black Iron Army stationed in Butterfly Valley, the lowest cultivation among them is a one-star War Saint."

"For someone at this level of cultivation, it usually takes at least two to three months for a body to decay."

"Based on this timeline, this Deputy Commander likely died shortly after returning to Butterfly Valley."

"It seems highly likely that the perpetrator is Qin Feiyang!"

The young man in white’s eyes flashed.

"What do we do now?"

The red-haired man asked.

The young man in white waved his hand and said, "You don’t need to worry about this, I will make arrangements. You just need to keep track of the movements of the Emperors and others."

"Yes."

"Then I will take my leave."

The red-haired man saluted the young man in white and then turned to leave the alchemy room.

"Qin Feiyang, ever since your Bloodline Power returned to its ancestral roots, I’ve been eagerly awaiting your return..."

"And now, I’ve finally waited for you to return..."

"I’m really curious to see what expression you’ll have when you find out about my other identity..."

The young man in white murmured, and before he finished speaking, he vanished without a trace without even opening a portal.

...

One day.

Three days.

Five days!

In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

Thousands of Black Iron Army troops have entered Yan Province and Pan County.

Because both of these counties are under the jurisdiction of Spirit State!

The arrival of the Black Iron Army left the people in these two major counties anxious and restless.

In the past,

they did not know what the Black Iron Army was.

But over the years, as the Black Iron Army stationed in State City, the news spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, becoming widely known.

So, when they saw a large number of Black Iron Army emerging, people everywhere were in a state of acute fear.

However, Qin Feiyang remains unaware of all this now, and doesn’t want to know.

But not knowing doesn’t mean he hasn’t anticipated it.

In fact,

he had already predicted all of this.

Because even if Wang Hong did not report to the Imperial Capital, the people there would soon discover it.

It’s just a matter of time.

However, even though he anticipated it, he felt no concern.

Soldiers come, generals block; water comes, earth absorbs.

Some things can’t be avoided just because you want to avoid them.

The important thing is, right now, he doesn’t want to think about these issues, he just wants to meditate peacefully for a while.

...

Several more days passed.

Morning.

Qin Feiyang, as usual, woke up early from cultivation and sat quietly by the lake fishing.

The morning sun rose, casting golden light over the lake.

A gentle breeze blew across from distant mountain streams, causing the lake surface to shimmer, everything appeared so peaceful and serene.

Boom!

Suddenly.

Qin Feiyang sensed dozens of powerful auras in the sky over Iron Bull Town.

Each of these auras contained terrifying Saint Prestige.

"They’ve arrived!"

He muttered to himself, without showing any expression or looking up towards Iron Bull Town, his eyes remained on the float on the lake.

Actually.

There’s no fish in this lake.

Because when creating this ’artificial lake’, he didn’t put any fish inside.

And his daily fishing by the lake isn’t really for fish, it’s for cultivating his mind.

In other words,

he’s fishing for his heart, not fish.

However, he knows that his time here is limited.

Because everyone in Iron Bull Town knows he lived here, and those Black Iron Army troops surely won’t forget to search here.

"You are indeed here."

Suddenly,

a hearty laugh echoed.

"This voice..."

Qin Feiyang frowned and looked up, seeing a young man in white suddenly appear in the air above the lake.

The face was all too familiar to Qin Feiyang!

It was Lu Xingchen!

Qin Feiyang asked suspiciously, "How come you’re here?"

"Why shouldn’t I be here?"

Lu Xingchen retorted, taking a step forward to land beside Qin Feiyang.

"No, I mean, how did you get out of the Imperial City?"

Qin Feiyang asked.

Keep in mind.

To get from the Imperial Capital to Spirit State, one must pass through the Spirit Pagoda.

And Elder Qin guards the Spirit Pagoda, it’s almost impossible for anyone in this world to sneak past him into the Spirit Pagoda.

Lu Xingchen laughed, "Forgot? My spatial artifact can move."

Qin Feiyang shook his head with a chuckle.

Admittedly, he overlooked this point.

Indeed.

With a mobile spatial artifact, entering the Spirit Pagoda is a very easy task.

"Why have you come to find me?"

"And how did you know I was here?"

Qin Feiyang asked.

"Of course, because I miss my old friend, so I came looking for you!"

"As for how I knew you were here, it was quite easy to deduce, because in the Great Qin Empire, you have nowhere else to go."

Lu Xingchen said with a light laugh.

Qin Feiyang nodded with a smile, asking again, "Then how did you know I came back?"

"Speculation."

"But evidently, I guessed it right."

Lu Xingchen replied.

Qin Feiyang asked, "What about the State Preceptor and others? Do they also know I’m back?"

Lu Xingchen shook his head with a smile, "Not yet, because they’re not as smart as me, nor do they understand you as well as I do."
