Immortal God of War

Chapter 1121 - 1056: Just One Step Away!

Half a year passed, and the changes in Quiet Heart Lake were minimal. The clear water shimmered as a gentle breeze swept across, bringing a sense of tranquility!

The island remained lush with greenery, flowers blooming everywhere, resembling a celestial paradise, a secluded utopia.

"Finally back, this place indeed puts the mind at ease."

Young Master Hao glanced at the island and smiled at Qin Feiyang and the others.

Qin Feiyang nodded.

"By the way, Brother Mu, I really don’t know how to investigate the cause of Shen Feiyun and Li He’s deaths. We’ve been brothers; show me the way!"

Young Master Hao chuckled.

Qin Feiyang’s eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled, "Everyone’s tired. Let’s rest well first and talk about it tomorrow."

Young Master Hao nodded and said, "Alright, it’s not urgent. I’ll come to find you tomorrow morning."

With that, Young Master Hao transformed into a stream of light, disappearing into his courtyard.

"Mu, you wait and see. Sooner or later, I’ll make you confess voluntarily."

Wang Youer gave Qin Feiyang a fierce glare and flew to her courtyard.

She was extremely curious about how Young Master Hao suddenly broke through from Nine-Star War Ancestor to One-star War Saint and wouldn’t stop until she figured it out.

Qin Feiyang shook his head with a smile and returned to the courtyard, heading straight into the pavilion.

But once inside, he eagerly closed the door, stood in the hall, bowing his head with an uncertain gaze.

Suddenly!

A gleam flashed in his eyes. He opened the portal, started the Concealment Art, and walked in without turning back.

The next moment.

He appeared once again in front of the General Tower’s courtyard.

But with the Concealment Art activated, the General Tower Master did not notice him.

Qin Feiyang did not enter either, just stood outside the courtyard, silently watching the General Tower Master.

He saw the General Tower Master sitting alone at a stone table, lost in thought.

He didn’t know how much time had passed when the General Tower Master suddenly took out an Image Crystal Stone.

Buzz!

Soon.

An apparition appeared.

It was an old man in white clothes, with white hair and a benevolent appearance, emanating an aura of otherworldliness.

At the center of his forehead was a striking flame mark.

And the mark was black!

"Ancestor Mu has returned."

The General Tower Master looked at the old man and said deeply.

The old man’s pupils contracted.

The General Tower Master asked, "What is the One-armed doing? Why didn’t he keep him in Qinghai?"

The old man in white was silent for a moment before saying, "The One-armed has lost contact."

"What?"

The General Tower Master shot to his feet.

The old man in white said, "I think he might have met with an accident."

"How could this be?"

"The inner sea is dangerous, but with the One-armed’s cultivation of Seventh Grade War Emperor, nothing should have happened!"

The General Tower Master said incredulously.

"I’m also pondering this issue."

"Should I send someone to Qinghai to investigate his cause of death?"

The old man in white asked.

"It must be investigated!"

"Because I’m worried, the One-armed’s death might be related to Ancestor Mu."

The General Tower Master said gravely.

"This..."

The old man in white was stunned.

Ancestor Mu is merely a War Saint. How could he be related to the One-armed’s death?

The General Tower Master said, "Ancestor Mu certainly doesn’t have that capability, but we can’t rule out his friends or relatives, such as his elder brother."

"Elder brother?"

The old man in white frowned.

"Yes."

"I just heard Ancestor Mu say that the cluster of Seventh Grade Dan Fire was snatched away by his elder brother."

"Daring to snatch something from our General Tower, this person’s abilities must be formidable, so it needs to be investigated thoroughly!"

The General Tower Master said.

"Alright, I’ll arrange it right away."

The old man in white nodded and turned off the Image Crystal Stone.

"As expected, seeing me return alive, they would surely become suspicious of me."

Qin Feiyang murmured as he was about to leave, but the General Tower Master activated the Image Crystal Stone again.

"Huh?"

A trace of curiosity arose in his eyes as he continued to spy.

Buzz!

Not long after.

The apparition of Gongsun Bei appeared.

Seeing it was the General Tower Master, Gongsun Bei immediately bowed and saluted, "Greetings, my lord."

"Hmm."

The General Tower Master nodded and said, "Remember last time, I had you investigate Ancestor Mu’s parents?"

"Yes."

Gongsun Bei nodded.

The General Tower Master asked, "Did you inquire back then whether Ancestor Mu had any siblings?"

"I didn’t inquire about that."

Gongsun Bei shook his head, then asked suspiciously, "May I know why my lord is asking about this suddenly?"

"It’s nothing."

"Now I give you a task, immediately bring Ancestor Mu’s parents to the General Tower."

The General Tower Master ordered.

Gongsun Bei was stunned, puzzled, "Why bring them to the General Tower?"

The General Tower Master said, "Don’t ask too much, just do as I say. I want to see them in an hour."

"Yes, I’ll handle it right away."

Gongsun Bei respectfully replied, and the apparition vanished.

The General Tower Master also put away the Image Crystal Stone and returned to the stone stool, sinking into thought once again.

"Impressive!"

"Not only have they begun to suspect me, but they’ve also immediately arranged the next course of action."

Qin Feiyang sneered in the dark.

If he’s not mistaken, the General Tower Master is having Gongsun Bei bring his ’parents’ to the General Tower, certainly intending to use them as leverage against him.

However.

The General Tower Master is destined to be disappointed.

Because those two aren’t really Qin Feiyang’s parents; they’re merely impostors arranged by the Mu Family.

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

Qin Feiyang sneered secretly and prepared to leave once more.

But as soon as he turned around, he suddenly sensed a mysterious power emerging!

He quickly looked at the Tower Master again.

Because that mysterious power was coming from inside the pavilion.

And when he looked at the Tower Master again, his eyes sparkled with excitement.

The Tower Master was holding a Crystal Stone!

This Crystal Stone was triangular, about the size of a baby’s fist, colorful and sharp-edged, shimmering with a hazy brilliance.

That’s right!

This Crystal Stone was exactly the five-colored Crystal Stone that the mysterious lady urged him to steal!

"It’s here!"

Qin Feiyang felt quite excited.

As soon as he got the five-colored Crystal Stone, he wouldn’t need to stay at the General Tower anymore.

Opportunity knocks but once, and it never comes again!

His heart hardened, ready to snatch it from the Tower Master’s hand now.

Because now was a very good opportunity.

The Tower Master hadn’t noticed him, and as long as he could approach without being detected, he could succeed!

No sooner said than done!

He leaped into the air, flying silently toward the pavilion.

Actually, he was very nervous at this moment.

Because the Tower Master was so formidable, he worried that if he was discovered upon getting close, it would be troublesome.

However.

What he feared didn’t happen.

He got closer step by step, yet the Tower Master remained oblivious, staring at the five-colored Crystal Stone, eyes filled with greed.

Seeing this.

Qin Feiyang found it quite perplexing.

What exactly was this five-colored Crystal Stone? Not only did the mysterious lady covet it, even the Tower Master couldn’t put it down?

One meter!

Two meters!

He was now just over ten meters away from the pavilion.

Qin Feiyang became even more cautious.

But just then.

The Tower Master, who was staring at the five-colored Crystal Stone, suddenly showed a trace of ominous coldness in his eyes and shouted, "No one will take the position of Tower Master from my hands..."

As he finished speaking, he grasped the five-colored Crystal Stone tightly, and it vanished without a trace.

"Damn it!"

Qin Feiyang cursed under his breath and decisively retreated.

"Just one step away!"

Back at the loft, he collapsed onto a chair, his face full of unwillingness.

Since he failed this time, there’s no telling when he would get another chance.

He felt like heaven was playing a huge joke on him.

"Sigh!"

After a moment.

With a long sigh, he took out the Image Crystal Stone.

Buzz!

Not long after.

Mu Qing’s hologram appeared.

Looking at the hall where Qin Feiyang was, Mu Qing asked in surprise, "You’ve returned from Qinghai?"

"Why?"

"Don’t want to see me back?"

Qin Feiyang sneered coldly.

Mu Qing grinned and said, "Aren’t you joking? I only wish you a long life."

"Hypocritical."

Qin Feiyang scoffed, "Let’s talk business. Are those two impersonators you arranged for my parents still in the ninth region?"

"Yes!"

"We worried the Tower Master might still investigate, so we have them stay there all the time."

"Is there a problem?"

Mu Qing asked.

"There is."

"Gongsun Bei went to find them, remove them immediately."

Qin Feiyang said seriously.

"Why?"

Mu Qing asked in surprise.

"You’re right. The Tower Master is no simple figure. This time, sending me to Qinghai was purely to eliminate me."

Qin Feiyang explained the situation concisely.

After hearing.

Mu Qing shook his head and sighed, "I already foresaw he’d make a move on you, but didn’t expect it to be so quick. Fortunately, it’s you; otherwise, even having nine lives wouldn’t be enough in Qinghai."

Qin Feiyang raised an eyebrow, "Since you already foresaw this, why didn’t you inform me?"

"Didn’t I remind you? Told you to be careful of him."

Mu Qing retorted playfully.

"What kind of reminder is that?"

Qin Feiyang glared at him, "Enough of the nonsense, get them evacuated before Gongsun Bei captures them."

Mu Qing asked, "Then if Gongsun Bei doesn’t find them, comes to question you, what will you say?"

Qin Feiyang replied, "Isn’t that obvious? Just make up some excuse."

"Fine, I’ll notify them right away."

After saying that, Mu Qing’s hologram dissipated.

Qin Feiyang also lowered his head, eyes flickering coldly.

Having Mu Qing notify those two to withdraw wasn’t out of concern for their safety, but fearing they wouldn’t hold up to the Tower Master’s interrogation, exposing his real identity.

Then, not to mention stealing the five-colored Crystal Stone, he might not even be able to keep his own life.

Subsequently.

He sent messages to Wang Zicheng and others, instructing them briefly.

He worried the people the Tower Master sent to Qinghai would go seeking intel from Wang Zicheng and the others, and if uninformed, they might accidentally let something slip.

After instructing them, Qin Feiyang pondered deeply, checking if there were any other loopholes.

Because the current situation allowed for no mistake.

Finally.

Ensuring everything was seamless, he put away the Image Crystal Stone, exhaled deeply, went upstairs, and flopped onto the bed, falling into a deep sleep.

Too exhausted.

Facing off against a strong adversary like the Tower Master, a slight misstep could lead to disaster, so he had to adjust his mindset to peak condition before planning the next step, ensuring no detail is overlooked.
