Qin Feiyang pondered for a moment before he said, laughing, "Actually, you don't have to worry about me."

"Boss, you shouldn't be too relaxed."

"And if you really kick the bucket, who will Master Fatty hang out with afterward?"

"Master Fatty still wants to be the National Protecting General of the Great Qin Empire!" Fatty said.

"National Protecting General?"

The Tunneling Beast's eyes widened in surprise as it asked doubtfully, "Qin Feiyang, are you from the Imperial Capital?"

The Wolf King glared at it menacingly and said, "Minion, if you want to survive, understand one thing: don't ask questions you're not supposed to."

"That's right. The more you know, the worse it is for you." Fatty also realized he had misspoken.

The Tunneling Beast shrank its neck, a thoughtful glint in its eyes.

Qin Feiyang rolled his eyes at Fatty and said with displeasure, "So, if you are not made the National Protecting General, you'd wish me dead?"

"What are you talking about? We're brothers."

"Whoever wants to kill you will have to step over Master Fatty's dead body first!" Fatty patted his chest, looking the very picture of self-sacrifice as he earnestly declared.

"Enough of your nonsense!" Qin Feiyang rolled his eyes and laughed. "Let's go into seclusion and cultivate for a while."

"What?"

"Seclusion and cultivation now?"

Fatty, the Wolf King, and the Tunneling Beast all stared at him in disbelief. Was this guy not worried at all?

Even Lu Hong opened her eyes, a hint of worry in her clear eyes.

"Even if we're stuck here and can't get the coordinates, we can always go to another area."

"The Land of Oblivion is so huge; I refuse to believe that only the Meng Family knows the coordinates of the Purple Sun Tribe and Sky Thunder City," Qin Feiyang laughed.

Seeing that Fatty and the others were about to say something, he waved his hand. "Less talk, everyone start cultivating."

Having finished speaking, he walked over to the iron box, starting to inscribe the fourth stroke of the War Technique.

Although he had emerged victorious in their recent confrontations, he still found them quite taxing. Especially when battling a Nine-Star War King, each encounter had ended in mutual injury. Therefore, he needed to break through to the next minor realm as soon as possible. Once he broke through to become a Five Star War King, he could completely crush a Nine-Star War King using the power of the Counter Curse Manual. He might even be able to hold his own against a One-star War Emperor.

Seeing this, the Wolf King and Fatty said no more. The Wolf King took out a Top Grade Battle Intent pill and began to absorb and refine it. Fatty continued to take inventory of the Qiankun Bag.

The Tunneling Beast watched them enviously. It scurried over to Fatty, but before it could speak, Fatty said, "Can't you see Master Fatty is busy? Go away."

The Tunneling Beast froze, retreating in disappointment. Its eyes darting about, it then approached the Wolf King.

"Brother Wolf, look!" Putting on a thick-skinned, fawning smile, it wheedled, "No matter what, I'm your little brother now, shouldn't you consider sharing the spoils with me? You must have many Battle Intent pills; can you spare some for me?"

The Wolf King glanced at it and said, "Look at yourself. Do you look like a minion?"

The Tunneling Beast nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes, yes. It was my fault before. From now on, I will listen to your every word."

"Who would believe that!" The Wolf King snorted coldly.

The Tunneling Beast said earnestly, "Brother Wolf, you must believe me. I always keep my word and never break my promise."

"Pshaw!" The Wolf King looked at it with contempt. However, it also took out a heap of Battle Intent pills from its Qiankun Bag.

"Take these. After all, you're with us now, and I don't want you slowing us down," the Wolf King said.

"Thank you, Brother Wolf."

"Don't worry, Brother Wolf. I'll definitely train hard." The Tunneling Beast looked at the Battle Intent pills, its eyes gleaming with excitement.

「Outside.」

The entire White Fox City was in chaos. All the guards of the City Lord's Mansion were dispatched, searching the whole city for Qin Feiyang. The city gates and walls were completely sealed. Entry was permitted, but no one could leave!

However, as days passed without a single trace of him, it was as if he had vanished into thin air. Impossible. He must be hiding somewhere.

The Meng Family Head even issued a bounty. A reward of one million Gold Coins was offered for any information. If Qin Feiyang could be captured alive and brought to the City Lord's Mansion, the reward would be ten million Gold Coins and a Vermilion Glazed Pill!

As soon as the bounty was announced, the entire city went mad. Everyone scoured every nook and cranny of the city for Qin Feiyang.

「One month later.」

A burly man dressed in black tiger skins, travel-stained and weary, hurried back to the city from outside. He immediately sought out the Meng Family Head.

「In a grand hall.」

The Meng Family Head looked at the burly man, asking, "Well, have you found anything?"

"It's clear now," the burly man said. "I pursued the clue provided by Ding Ming and went to the Ho Tribe. The people of the Ho Tribe said that Qin Feiyang possesses an ability that allows him to vanish and reappear suddenly. It was because of this ability that the Ho Tribe could only watch helplessly as he committed atrocities; even their leader, Ho Yuan, died at their hands. However, according to reports, he cannot move while in this vanished state."

"What does that mean?" The Meng Family Head frowned.

The burly man said, "It means he remains in the exact spot where he vanished."

The Meng Family Head looked astonished. He remains in place when he disappears, invisible and undetectable by others? How could such a bizarre ability exist in this world?

"Family Head, regardless of where he is hiding, at least we now know he is still in the Council Hall," the burly man said, a cold light flickering in his eyes.

"Exactly." The Meng Family Head's eyes glinted. "As long as he's in the Council Hall, he's trapped. Take your men and surround the Council Hall immediately. Don't let even a fly escape. If you can capture them, the position of Commander of the Guards will be yours."

"Thank you, Family Head! Your subordinate will definitely catch them and not disappoint your high hopes!" The burly man, overjoyed, bowed in gratitude, then quickly turned and left.

The collapsed Council Hall had already been rebuilt. The burly man led a group of guards running over. There were about fifty or sixty of them!

The burly man swept his gaze over the Council Hall, waved his hand, and commanded, "Quickly surround it! Don't let them escape!"

"Yes!" a group of guards responded. Some surrounded the perimeter, while others entered the hall. In short, men were posted everywhere.

A short guard sidled up to the burly man and said fawningly, "Congratulations, Brother Meng Cheng. Please look after us in the future."

Meng Cheng shook his head and said, "It's too early for congratulations. We'll talk after we capture Qin Feiyang and the others."

"With Brother Meng Cheng personally taking charge, their capture is practically guaranteed, isn't it? Isn't that right, everyone?" the short guard shouted.

"Yes!" the other guards responded loudly, all wearing fawning expressions.

"Alright, alright, be serious. Once I really become the Commander, I definitely won't forget you brothers," Meng Cheng chuckled. In his mind, the Commander position was already his; it was a done deal.

AAAH!!

But just then, suddenly, a series of anguished screams erupted from within the Council Hall.

"What happened?"

"Quickly, go in and see!" Meng Cheng's expression changed, and he rushed into the Council Hall. The guards all followed suit.

However, upon reaching the entrance of the Council Hall, they all stopped dead in their tracks, staring in horror at the scene inside.

They saw a seven-meter-tall wolf with bulging muscles, like a killing machine, slaughtering the guards inside the Council Hall. Its snow-white fur was now dyed crimson with blood!

It was the Wolf King!

Just yesterday, it had broken through to become a Five Star War King. Feeling bored, it had grown excited upon hearing the commotion outside and had asked Qin Feiyang to let it out of the ancient castle. With its cultivation as a Five Star War King and the power of Furious Rage, a superior battle technique, it now possessed the combat power of an Eight-star War King!

The strongest among these guards were merely Five Star War Kings. Most were Three Star or Four-star War Kings. Although a few possessed battle techniques, they were primarily Lower Class ones. How could they possibly be a match for the Wolf King? Killing them was as easy as chopping vegetables.

"What terrifying power!" The guards outside the entrance were all terrified.

"There are so many of us; what are we afraid of?" Meng Cheng shouted. "You, hurry and inform the Family Head! The rest of you, follow me in and hold it off! If we capture it, Qin Feiyang will definitely have nowhere to run!"

The short guard promptly turned and ran off.

"Follow me and charge!" Meng Cheng roared and was the first to rush into the Council Hall. His Battle Intent flared! He executed a battle technique and charged at the Wolf King!

He was a Seven-star War King, and with his Lower Class battle technique, his strength was supposedly comparable to the Wolf King's. However, his combat instincts were no match for the Wolf King's! Furthermore, at the same cultivation realm, Fierce Beasts were generally stronger than humans. This was because Fierce Beasts' bodies were naturally tough and powerful! Of course, this wasn't absolute. Some humans, through diligent training, could develop bodies as tough as those of Fierce Beasts. But these were rare exceptions. And Meng Cheng was clearly not one of them!

After just a few exchanges, the Wolf King's claw struck him in the groin. The excruciating pain almost made him pass out! The Wolf King seized the opportunity and bit through his throat.

Witnessing this, the other guards lost all courage to fight and scattered in panic! The Wolf King, as if possessed by a god of slaughter, killed with every step, leaving a trail of blood as it slaughtered its way out of the Council Hall!

In less than ten breaths' time, all the guards lay dead on the ground, rivers of blood forming around them!

ROAR!

After the slaughter, it swept its gaze over the corpses on the ground and let out a sky-shattering howl.

WHOOSH!

Qin Feiyang appeared out of thin air outside the Council Hall, then took the Wolf King back into the ancient castle.

Less than three breaths had passed after the man and wolf disappeared.

The Meng Family Head, accompanied by the short guard, arrived by tearing through the air and landed outside the Council Hall. Gazing at the bloody carnage around them, the short guard was instantly petrified, his face as pale as a sheet. A puddle of liquid spread from under his trousers, and the pungent stench of urine quickly filled the air.

CRACK! The Meng Family Head's eyes blazed with red fury, his fists clenched so tightly his knuckles cracked. These were all elite disciples of the Meng Family! Countless resources and effort had been poured into cultivating them. Yet, in just a short while, all of them had been slaughtered!

Unforgivable! This is absolutely unforgivable!

"You little bastards! If you have the guts, come out and fight me fair and square!" he roared at the sky, his fury seeming to pierce the heavens.

However, no one responded to him.

"Call someone over now and have all the bodies buried," after what seemed like an eternity, the Meng Family Head took a deep breath and ordered the short guard. "From this moment on, I will personally keep watch here, waiting for them to come out!" Then, he strode into the Council Hall.

However, what he didn't know was that Qin Feiyang had already left the Council Hall. His next appearance would, naturally, also be outside the Council Hall.
