"Why?"
Yan Wei was suspicious.
Qin Feiyang said, "Because of his conceit."
"He is not just conceited."
Lu Hong smiled coldly and looked at Qin Feiyang. "When Dong Qing confessed, she also said that he wanted to use you as a stepping stone."
"Stepping stone?"
Qin Feiyang was stunned.
"That's right."
"After following Mu Tianyang, not only did his strength soar, but his self-confidence and vanity also began to inflate."
Lu Hong shook her head and sneered.
Among the younger generation in the world, who dared to say that they would use Qin Feiyang as a stepping stone?
This Zhang Jin really didn't know what was good for him and overestimated himself!
"Then let him continue to be arrogant!"
Qin Feiyang smiled faintly.
Originally, he still had some sympathy for Zhang Jin, but now it seemed that he was thinking too much.
There was a saying that a pitiful person must have something hateful.
This Zhang Jin was a good example.
"By the way."
"These days, have you seen the two women who came to worship?"
Yan Wei asked.
"No."
Qin Feiyang shook his head.
"You don't have to worry about this."
"Since they came to worship, they must have some connection with Iron Ox Town. Maybe one day, they will take the initiative to appear in front of you."
Lu Hong comforted.
Qin Feiyang nodded.
Next.
The three of them also sat cross-legged on the ground to stabilize their cultivation.
In a flash, another five days passed.
This time, even Qin Feiyang couldn't stay calm.
Even if the giant python's cultivation was weaker than everyone, it didn't need to take so long.
Moreover.
It was also because of its weak cultivation that it ate the least divine meat among all of them.
Logically speaking, it should have woken up long ago.
But why was there no movement until now?
If it wasn't for its aura, even Qin Feiyang would think that it was already dead.
"No."
"I have to go down and take a look."
Qin Feiyang said.
The giant python had just started following him. If something were to happen to it, wouldn't he become a laughingstock if word got out?
Boom!
However, just as he stood up, a shocking aura rushed out from the bottom of the lake.
"Hmm?"
In an instant.
Everyone stood up.
This aura belonged to the giant python.
Her aura continued to soar!
One star battle sect.
Two star battle ancestor!
He only stopped when he was a Three Star War Ancestor!
"Damn, it actually broke through three small realms in a row?"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
But then.
An even more shocking scene appeared!
The giant python's aura was gradually changing.
Amidst the original ferocious might, there was now a faint trace of dragon might!
"What's the situation?"
Everyone looked at each other before looking at the lake again. Their eyes were filled with bewilderment.
As time quietly passed, the dragon's might became more and more intense!
Groan …
Suddenly!
Accompanied by a loud and clear dragon roar, a huge creature rushed out from the bottom of the lake, setting off huge waves.
Its body was over 300 meters long, and it looked like a snake or a dragon. Its entire body was covered in earthen yellow scales.
That dragon might came from its body.
"This is …"
"Flood Dragon!"
Qin Feiyang and the others were all dumbfounded.
The Black Dragon Snake swallowed its saliva and said, "You can't be …"
"It's me, can't you recognize me?"
The flood dragon looked at everyone in confusion.
His voice was like a bell, deafening to the ears.
"It's really you."
"How did you transform into a flood dragon?"
The Black Dragon Snake's eyes were filled with disbelief.
That's right!
The flood dragon in front of him was the giant python!
The flood dragon said, "I don't know either. After eating the divine meat, I fell into a deep sleep at the bottom of the lake. When I woke up, I became like this."
"This …"
The Black Dragon Snake held its breath and roared at Qin Feiyang and the others, "Did you see that? This is called a great fortune. What is our little harvest?"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
Indeed.
Compared to the giant python, their little harvest was like heaven and earth.
One had to know.
Whether it was a snake or a python, as long as it transformed into a flood dragon, it was equivalent to a fish leaping through the dragon's gate, a true rebirth.
Although it couldn't compare to a real divine dragon, it was much stronger than other fierce beasts.
The most important thing was.
Once it transformed into a flood dragon, whether it was the power of its bloodline or its potential, it would undergo earth-shaking changes.
It might even be able to transform into a real divine dragon in the future!
"I'm a little jealous of you."
The Black Dragon Snake said powerlessly.
"I'm a little jealous too."
The Spirit Snake Emperor muttered.
Although the Black Dragon Snake looked like a dragon, it didn't have the inheritance of a dragon.
And although the Spirit Snake Emperor was powerful, it was completely unrelated to a dragon.
Therefore, they also yearned to transform into a real dragon.
But this kind of thing was impossible without a particularly heaven-defying opportunity and luck.
"Hehe …"
Looking at the two beasts' discouraged looks, the flood dragon felt a little embarrassed.
Qin Feiyang patted the heads of the two beasts and said with a smile, "Alright, don't be dejected. There's still a long time. Who can predict what will happen in the future?"
"That's true."
The two beasts nodded.
Qin Feiyang looked up at the flood dragon and said with a smile, "Congratulations."
The flood dragon chuckled and said shyly, "This is all your credit. I will definitely repay you in the future."
"We're all on the same side. Why are you being so polite?"
Qin Feiyang shook his head and smiled. Then, he retracted his ice blade and looked at everyone, "After resting for a while, it's time to deal with business. Let's go to the castle to cultivate!"
Everyone nodded.
The flood dragon's huge body shrank to a meter long and flew in front of everyone. It looked a little distant.
Qin Feiyang waved his hand and sent everyone to the castle, leaving only Yan Wei outside.
"Where are we going now?"
Yan Wei asked.
"The Imperial Capital!"
Qin Feiyang's eyes flashed. He took out the space-time gate and handed it to Yan Wei.
Yan Wei activated his Battle Qi and was about to awaken.
"Wait."
But suddenly.
Qin Feiyang stopped him.
"What's wrong?"
Yan Wei was puzzled.
"Let's enter the Imperial Capital through the teleportation altar in the Butterfly Valley!"
Qin Feiyang said.
The space-time gate could only be opened once a day.
If it was opened now and an accident happened after entering the Imperial Capital, wouldn't it be disastrous?
Therefore …
It was better to leave the space-time gate open in case of any accidents.
But when he heard that they were going to the Butterfly Valley, Yan Wei immediately objected, "The Butterfly Valley must be heavily guarded now. If you go there now, won't you be walking into a trap?"
Qin Feiyang frowned and said, "Let's go and take a look first."
"Alright!"
Yan Wei nodded helplessly and opened the teleportation gate. The two of them walked in one after another.
Qin Feiyang went to the Imperial Capital for Zhang Jin and Lu Xingchen.
There was no point in looking for Ren Duxing now. He would definitely not be able to find him.
Therefore …
He might as well look for Lu Xingchen and Zhang Jin directly.
Above the Butterfly Valley!
Qin Feiyang and Zhang Jin appeared out of thin air.
The moment they appeared.
Yan Wei scanned the valley below, his eyes full of vigilance.
However, in the end, he found that there was not a single person in the huge valley. It was dead silent.
"This is strange."
"Why didn't they send anyone to guard it?"
Yan Wei was suspicious.
"Unless they send a False God, they are all here to die."
Qin Feiyang said.
Yan Wei was stunned and could not help laughing.
He was too cautious.
Indeed.
Over the years, they killed a group of people sent by the Imperial Capital.
In the face of such a situation, as long as the people in the Imperial Capital were not stupid, they would definitely consider carefully before sending people here.
Whoosh!
The two of them turned into a stream of light and rushed down.
After a while.
The two of them entered the secret chamber and stood in front of the teleportation altar.
Yan Wei immediately activated his Battle Aura to revive the altar.
When the altar was revived, he turned to look at Qin Feiyang and said, "Old Man Qin is no longer trustworthy, you must be careful."
Qin Feiyang nodded, sent Yan Wei to the castle, and stepped onto the altar.
For him, the Imperial Capital was now a dragon's pool and tiger's den.
But sometimes, even if he knew it was a dragon's pool and tiger's den, he still had to take a trip.
At the same time!
Pagoda!
When the teleportation altar was revived, the pagoda door quickly opened. A white-haired old man stood in front of the pagoda door.
It was Old Man Qin!
He looked at the bloody teleportation altar, his eyes flickering.
Suddenly.
He took a step forward and landed in front of the altar. Then, with a wave of his hand, the pagoda door quickly closed again.
Almost the moment the pagoda door closed, Qin Feiyang appeared on the altar.
Old Man Qin said indifferently, "It's really you."
Qin Feiyang jumped down from the altar and looked at Old Man Qin, "It seems that you have been waiting for me."
Old Man Qin said, "Didn't you come to the Imperial Capital to look for this old man?"
"Yes."
Qin Feiyang nodded.
Old Man Qin said, "Speak!"
"I want Lu Xingchen."
Qin Feiyang did not talk nonsense and directly stated the purpose of his visit.
"Hmm?"
Old Man Qin raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you want him to do?"
Qin Feiyang said, "Don't worry about that."
"The news of Mu Tianyang's return has been confirmed."
"And Lu Xingchen is related to Mu Tianyang. Do you think this old man will return him to you?"
"Even if this old man is willing, His Majesty and the Imperial Preceptor will not allow this old man to do so. Because they also know that Lu Xingchen is now imprisoned in the Divine Prison."
"So this matter is not negotiable."
Old Man Qin's attitude was very firm.
And this was also within Qin Feiyang's expectations.
He smiled coldly and said, "Then I'll tell you the truth. The relationship between Lu Xingchen and Mu Tianyang is actually not that great."
"Not that great?"
Old Man Qin was stunned and frowned. "Didn't you tell this old man that Lu Xingchen is Mu Tianyang?"
Qin Feiyang said indifferently, "If I didn't say that, would you do your best to help me watch over him?"
Old Man Qin's face darkened slightly and asked, "Then who is Mu Tianyang's real body?"
Qin Feiyang said, "Didn't you see it? It's the person who fought with the Imperial Preceptor in the hinterland of the Magical Dragon Mountains. "
Old Man Qin stared at Qin Feiyang in silence.
He really didn't know which of Qin Feiyang's words was true and which were false.
Qin Feiyang said indifferently, "Mu Tianyang is omnipotent and only I can find him. If you don't return Lu Xingchen to me, then I'm sorry, I won't care about this matter anymore."
"Are you threatening this old man?"
Old Man Qin's eyes were cold.
"So what if I'm threatening you?"
"At first, I thought you were a good person, at least a little better than the Imperial Preceptor."
"But in the end? You actually schemed against me. "
"If I wasn't suspicious, I still wouldn't know how much of a threat your killing intent was to me."
"Do you know? You're cheating my trust in you. "
"And trust only comes once. If you miss it, it's gone."
Qin Feiyang sneered.
Old Man Qin's face was slightly gloomy. After a long time, he sighed deeply and said, "Fine, this matter is indeed my fault. This old man will do as you say and return Lu Xingchen to you."
Heard.
Qin Feiyang's expression was the same as usual, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he looked so calm before, he was actually very nervous.
After all, Old Man Qin was not an ordinary person. The slightest flaw would be noticed.
Old Man Qin waved his hand.
Qin Feiyang only felt his body lighten.
The next moment, he appeared in a sealed secret room.
The secret room was not big.
It was about a hundred feet wide and empty.
Lu Xingchen was lying in the center of the secret room, unconscious.
"This is the Divine Prison?"
Qin Feiyang glanced at Lu Xingchen, then looked around the secret room, his brows tightly knitted together.
The secret room in front of him was not the least bit similar to the Divine Prison he was familiar with.
Old Man Qin said, "This is not the Divine Prison, but the top floor of the pagoda. Only a few people can enter here and it can be isolated from the outside world. It can be considered a prison."
"The top floor of the pagoda?"
Qin Feiyang was stunned and frowned. "Then why did you say that Lu Xingchen was locked in the Divine Prison?"
"This old man is just testing you," said the old man.
Old Man Qin said.
Qin Feiyang raised his eyebrows and said, "So, the emperor and the State Preceptor know that Lu Xingchen is also lying to me?"
"Yes."
"They don't know that Lu Xingchen is in my hands."
"They don't know that Lu Xingchen is related to Mu Tianyang."
Old Man Qin nodded.
"Why didn't you tell them?"
This time, it was Qin Feiyang who was puzzled.
Old Man Qin actually hid such an important matter from the emperor? It was obviously unreasonable!
Old Man Qin said, "Because now, I don't want them to know that I have private contact with you."
Qin Feiyang said, "Is this important?"
"Very important."
"Although I did scheme against you this time, I really don't have any ill intentions towards you."
"Otherwise, my murderous intent would have killed you long ago."
Old Man Qin sighed.
Qin Feiyang frowned and said, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"I want to protect the Great Qin Empire."
"I can't see through the State Preceptor, so I have to be wary of him."
"And you, although you are indeed protecting the Great Qin Empire now, I can't guess or see what you are thinking, so I have to be wary of you."
"This is why I lied to you."
Old Man Qin said.
"Protect the Great Qin Empire …"
Qin Feiyang murmured.
Putting aside the prejudice of the past, this person was indeed an old man worthy of respect.
But was he really trustworthy?
Qin Feiyang said, "What about the emperor? I can understand why you didn't tell the State Preceptor, but why did you hide it from him? "
Old Qin pondered for a moment before he let out a long sigh and said, "I've watched your father grow up, so I know him very well. However, I've slowly noticed that he has changed during these years."
"He has changed."
Qin Feiyang snorted coldly.
Old Man Qin shook his head and said, "The change I'm talking about is not in his emotions, but his personality."
"Personality?"
Qin Feiyang was surprised.
"Yes."
"His personality has become more and more unfathomable, and he has become extremely shrewd and unpredictable."
"It's precisely because I can't guess what he is thinking that I hid it from him."
Old Man Qin said.
Qin Feiyang's eyes flickered.
Old Man Qin waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this. You can take Lu Xingchen away, but you have to agree to a request of mine."
"Speak."
Qin Feiyang said.
Old Man Qin said with a serious expression, "Don't do anything that will harm the Great Qin Empire. Otherwise, even if you have the legacy of the late emperor and have the protection of the late emperor, I won't let you off!"
"I don't need you to remind me of this."
Qin Feiyang said indifferently.
