Although she was a woman, she harbored great ambitions. Killing Qin Feiyang would be a great accomplishment. By then, she would be in charge of the Trading Pavilion! Perhaps she might even curry favor with the Old Family Head, and her future would surely be promising.

Normally, she wouldn't have dared to make a move. After all, her strength was no match for Qin Feiyang's. But now, Qin Feiyang was restrained by an intimidating force, like a fish on the chopping block, ripe for the kill.

How on earth could she miss such an opportunity?

However, dreams are wonderful, but reality is cruel!

When she got close, Qin Feiyang suddenly turned his head and flashed her a grin.

"Still able to move?" The young woman was startled.

The Old Family Head, the Meng Family Head, and the three leaders all looked absolutely stunned.

"It's normal for women to have ambitions," Qin Feiyang said. "But your mistake was wanting to use me as a stepping stone." He pointed his finger, and potent Battle Intent shot forth like a rainbow, directly penetrating the young woman's forehead.

Accompanied by a piercing scream, the young woman fell dead on the spot.

"You dare kill someone from my Meng Family!" The Old Family Head was fuming.

He stepped in front of Qin Feiyang, his aged hand surging with Battle Intent as he violently struck at Qin Feiyang's head.

"People of the Meng Family, prepare to wail!" With a loud roar, Qin Feiyang instantly vanished.

The roar echoed in all directions, resonating in the sky above White Fox City, lingering for a long time. At that moment, every Meng Family member felt uncontrollable panic rise within them.

Inside the hall on the second floor, the three leaders stared at the spot where Qin Feiyang had vanished, their eyes nearly bulging from their sockets. He can really disappear into thin air!

The Old Family Head's expression was the most conflicted. On one hand, he was surprised. On the other, Qin Feiyang had slipped away right under his nose, which was tantamount to a slap in the face.

Seeing the Old Family Head on the brink of rage, the Meng Family Head hurriedly tried to console him, "Father, don't worry. He can't move. As long as we guard this place, he'll come out sooner or later."

The Old Family Head seemed stunned for a moment, then a hearty laugh erupted from him. "Unable to move? Good, very good! You go and calm everyone down. I'll guard here myself!"

Just then, a derisive laugh sounded. "Naive!"

Out of nowhere, Qin Feiyang appeared before the Old Family Head again. In his grasp, he held someone: Meng Tong!

WHOOSH! Holding Meng Tong by the neck, Qin Feiyang swiftly retreated several steps before the Old Family Head and the Meng Family Head could react.

Once they reacted, their faces paled, and they yelled in unison, "Tong'er! Let her go!"

"My patience has its limits. Give me the coordinates now, or I'll kill her!" Qin Feiyang's eyes glinted with murderous intent.

"You dare!" the Old Family Head bellowed.

"If I dared to raid your treasury, killing someone is no big deal," Qin Feiyang scoffed.

The two Family Heads fell silent.

Indeed! He not only raided the treasury but also wreaked havoc in the City Lord's Mansion. Would he hesitate to take a life? This man was simply lawless!

The Meng Family Head said angrily, "Using a woman as a shield, are you even a man?"

"Don't try to sound so righteous," Qin Feiyang said, his gaze mocking. "One of you is a Three-Star War Emperor, the other a One-Star War Emperor, yet you shamelessly ganged up on me, a mere Five-Star War King. When it comes to shamelessness, I'm no match for you. I'm simply repaying you in your own coin."

The three leaders looked at each other, a hint of mockery in their eyes as well. The Meng Family's bullying tactics were nothing new. Watching the Meng Family get outmaneuvered brought them considerable enjoyment.

The two Family Heads remained silent.

Qin Feiyang sneered, "Nothing to say?"

"How about this?" Qin Feiyang asked. "Send a few Five-Star War Kings to fight me fairly. If I lose, you can do as you wish. But if I win, you tell me the coordinates. Well?"

Hearing his words, the two Family Heads were so furious they could practically feel smoke rising from their heads.

Even a Nine-Star War King was no match for him, and now he wanted them to send Five-Star War Kings for a fair fight? Wasn't he just trying to make the Meng Family publicly embarrass themselves?

"Not agreeable?" Qin Feiyang chuckled. "Then how about you send a Nine-Star War King! After all, I'm a reasonable and agreeable person!"

The leaders' faces twitched. This is what he calls reasonable? Agreeable? Go to hell!

"You want a fair fight?" The Meng Family Head stepped forward, glaring challengingly at Qin Feiyang. "Fine, I'll grant you your wish! I'll suppress my cultivation to that of a Nine-Star War King and fight you!"

Witnessing this, the three leaders couldn't help but shake their heads. As a One-Star War Emperor, challenging a junior at the Five-Star War King rank was already embarrassing enough. Yet the Meng Family Head was brazenly stating he would suppress his strength to that of a Nine-Star War King? Had he no shame? If he were to suppress his strength, he should have lowered it to the Five-Star War King realm, the same as Qin Feiyang. That would truly be fair!

The Old Family Head knitted his brows as well, clearly dissatisfied with the Meng Family Head's reckless behavior. However, at this point, there were no other options, as no other Nine-Star War King in their family could possibly handle Qin Feiyang.

But Qin Feiyang was no fool. If the Meng Family Head suddenly restored his peak cultivation during the fight, wouldn't he be doomed? In short, he couldn't possibly accept such an absurd challenge.

"It looks like we won't reach an agreement," Qin Feiyang said. "Then we'll stick to the original plan—exchange the coordinates for Meng Tong's life."

The Meng Family Head glanced at the unconscious Meng Tong, his expression visibly conflicted. After a moment, he turned to the white-haired old man and roared, "Father, give him the coordinates!"

The Old Family Head said, "I can't, unless he returns all our treasures."

"But what about Tong'er?" the Meng Family Head urged anxiously. "She's your granddaughter! You can't just let her die!"

"I know that, you don't need to remind me!" the Old Family Head retorted angrily. He was already irritated, and the Meng Family Head's words were like pouring oil on fire.

Qin Feiyang glanced at the father and son, a faint smile playing on his lips. "You have Three Star time."

"Three Star!" The Meng Family Head jolted, turning to plead with the Old Family Head.

But the Old Family Head seemed to ignore him, even closing his eyes.

Three Star time passed quickly!

Suddenly, the Old Family Head opened his eyes, two fierce lights shooting from them like arrows! Without hesitation, he pointed!

WHOOSH!!! Six lethal streams of Battle Intent shot towards Qin Feiyang and Meng Tong like lightning!

"What?!" The three leaders stared in disbelief, their eyes wide with anger.

The Old Family Head was going to sacrifice his own granddaughter!

"Father, no!" The Meng Family Head's expression changed drastically. He shouted hurriedly, but it was too late.

THUMP! The six streams of Battle Intent pierced Meng Tong's body like sharp arrows, blood instantly spraying into the sky!

AAAH! The searing pain jolted her awake, and she instantly let out a horrifying scream.

At the same time, Qin Feiyang felt an intense sense of crisis, the hairs on his body standing on end. Driven by instinct, he quickly dropped Meng Tong and entered the castle.

It all happened in a flash! The very next moment after he entered the castle, the six streams of Battle Intent burst from Meng Tong's back, bombarding the area in front of her. If he had been a fraction of a second later, he would have been undoubtedly doomed!

BOOM! The Trading Pavilion collapsed.

"The Trading Pavilion collapsed too!" People on the surrounding streets were dumbfounded.

Could it be that even the Old Family Head couldn't handle this Qin Feiyang?

BOOM! Not long after, five figures rushed out from the ruins. They were the three leaders, the Old Family Head, and the Meng Family Head. The Meng Family Head was still holding Meng Tong.

However, at that moment, they were all covered in dust and looked extremely disheveled.

As soon as they emerged, the Meng Family Head roared, "Father, you're too heartless! You were even willing to kill your own granddaughter!"

"Shut up!" the Old Family Head barked coldly, then swept his gaze around, searching for Qin Feiyang. "Take a good look at Tong'er's condition before you criticize me!"

The Meng Family Head was taken aback. He looked down at Meng Tong, and his expression instantly brightened. Although the six streams of Battle Intent had pierced Meng Tong's body, none of the wounds were fatal. Moreover, her breathing and heartbeat were still present. If she took healing pills promptly and recuperated for a few months, she would be as good as new.

The three leaders also understood by now.

So, the Old Family Head hadn't actually intended to kill his granddaughter; he had wanted to rescue her. But this method was quite extreme. If he had accidentally damaged her heart or Qi Sea, Meng Tong's life would have been over.

The Meng Family Head took out a healing pill, placed it in Meng Tong's mouth, and asked, "Father, did you find them?"

The Old Family Head shook his head.

The Meng Family Head said solemnly, "They must be hiding."

The Old Family Head said, "You don't need to worry about this. Take Tong'er home to recuperate first."

"Understood." The Meng Family Head nodded, turned, and flew into the City Lord's Mansion, disappearing into the grand hall.

The Old Family Head looked at the three leaders and asked, "Could you three do me a favor?"

The Snake Skin old man sneered, "First, tell us what it is."

The Old Family Head said, "Use your Battle Intent to seal White Fox City and don't let Qin Feiyang escape."

The burly man frowned and said, "Doing so will consume a lot of Battle Intent. What's in it for us?"

The Old Family Head said, "After this is done, I'll give each of you 100,000 Battle Intent Pills!"

"Deal." The three leaders' eyes lit up. Without a moment's hesitation, they immediately agreed.

The Old Family Head said, "Then let's begin!"

The three leaders soared into the sky, positioning themselves in a tripod formation high above.

BOOM! The next moment, their bodies shuddered, and Battle Intent surged from them like a boundless tide, gushing out in all directions.

In less than ten breaths, a giant barrier took shape and descended with a deafening roar, enveloping the entirety of White Fox City.

The Old Family Head swept his gaze over the barrier, then soared high into the sky, looking down upon the vast city.

"From now on, no one is allowed to leave White Fox City! Anyone discovered attempting to do so will be killed without mercy!" His voice, resonant as a great bell, was heard clearly by everyone.

Including Qin Feiyang, who was inside the castle.

"It seems the Meng Family is prepared to fight us to the death," the Mountain Beast said, somewhat worried.

"What's there to be afraid of?" the Wolf King said teasingly. "If they want to play, then we'll play along. I'd like to see who ends up regretting this! But Xiao Qinzi, that old geezer tricked you this time and managed to save Meng Tong. How does that feel?"

Qin Feiyang glanced at the Wolf King, his eyes flashing.

SWISH! With a thought, he appeared in the ruins and looked up at the three leaders.

"Three leaders, have you never wondered why, in this entire region, the Old Family Head is the only Alchemist?" His voice wasn't loud, yet it clearly reached the ears of the three leaders.
