Immortal God of War

"Quite sensible."

Qin Feiyang muttered, a gleam flashing deep in his eyes, and asked the old man puzzledly: "Why do you say so, sir?"

"Though our village spans dozens of miles without any fierce beasts, there are many powerful beasts beyond those dozen miles."

"If the three of you are not immortals, how did you avoid those beasts to reach our village?"

The old man laughed.

"To think of even this, you truly deserve to be the village chief."

"However, we’re not immortals, just ordinary martial artists."

Qin Feiyang replied with a smile.

"I see."

The old man suddenly understood, got up apologetically, and respectfully said: "Please forgive my impertinence."

"As they say, you know the face but not the heart. It’s understandable that you consider the village’s safety."

Qin Feiyang replied.

The old man said: "Young man, you are truly magnanimous. May I ask, when will the three of you be leaving?"

Qin Feiyang replied: "After resting for a few days, we will leave."

The old man said: "If you need anything, feel free to approach me."

"Sure."

Qin Feiyang nodded.

The old man respectfully said: "Then I shall take my leave."

"Farewell, sir."

Qin Feiyang stood up to see the old man off.

Once the old man left, Qin Feiyang immediately furrowed his brows.

"What’s wrong?"

Lu Hong came up to Qin Feiyang and asked softly.

Qin Feiyang secretly said: "I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but that village chief gives me a sense of crisis."

"Impossible, he’s just an ordinary person. How can he pose any threat to you?"

Lu Hong was startled and doubtful.

"No."

"My cousin isn’t wrong, that village chief is not ordinary."

Luk Zheng walked up to the two and communicated.

"This..."

Lu Hong was a bit stunned.

Qin Feiyang looked at Luk Zheng and whispered: "What did you find?"

Luk Zheng said: "Before you returned, I kept observing him and noticed that sometimes his gaze is different from usual."

"Different how?"

Qin Feiyang secretly asked.

Luk Zheng communicated: "At times, his gaze is as sharp as a blade, which is not something an ordinary person should have."

"You mean, he’s a cultivator?"

Qin Feiyang was shocked.

"Yes."

Luk Zheng nodded.

"Interesting."

Qin Feiyang’s lips curled up as Luk Zheng said, this village is getting more intriguing.

At this moment.

The woman looked at the three and smiled: "Benefactors, don’t just stand there, come sit down. I’ll prepare some breakfast for you."

"Thank you, Aunt."

Lu Hong turned and smiled at the woman.

"Don’t be so formal, consider this your home."

The woman chuckled and went into the kitchen.

The young boy glanced at the woman, ran up to the three, knelt on the ground, and begged: "Angel Sister, Brother Immortal, please, help me find my sister."

Qin Feiyang frowned and said: "A man shouldn’t kneel easily, stand up."

The boy was a bit panicked and quickly got up.

Qin Feiyang shook his head with a smile: "I don’t know your name yet. What’s your name?"

"I’m Wang XiaoJie."

The boy replied truthfully.

Qin Feiyang asked: "How does your village chief usually treat everyone?"

"The chief is a good man, treats everyone in the village like his family. I remember when my father passed away, he handled the posthumous arrangements for us."

"I’ve always been grateful to him."

Wang XiaoJie said.

Qin Feiyang nodded, then looked at Luk Zheng and Lu Hong and asked: "Have you seen the village chief’s son?"

"Yes, they came together at the time."

Lu Hong nodded, waved a hand, battle intent surged, and a phantom of a young man in white appeared: "This is the village chief’s son."

"Hm?"

Qin Feiyang was stunned.

"What’s wrong?"

Lu Hong asked puzzledly.

"I’ve seen him."

Qin Feiyang said.

Lu Hong and Luk Zheng exchanged glances, and Lu Hong asked: "When did you see him?"

Qin Feiyang said: "Just before I returned, I saw him alone entering a forest outside the village, probably hunting."

Wang XiaoJie said: "Brother Yuo never goes hunting."

"Brother Yuo?"

The three were taken aback.

Wang XiaoJie said: "Brother Yuo is the village chief’s son, full name Wang Yuo."

The three nodded in realization.

Suddenly!

Qin Feiyang raised an eyebrow, looked at the boy, and asked: "What did you just say? Wang Yuo never goes hunting?"

Wang XiaoJie nodded and said: "Yes, he’s the village chief’s son. How could he do such rough labor?"

"Then what is he doing out so early?"

Qin Feiyang questioned.

"Don’t know."

"But lately, he’s been going out frequently. I’ve seen him several mornings and it’s quite mysterious."

Wang XiaoJie’s face was filled with suspicion.

"And before?"

Qin Feiyang asked.

Wang XiaoJie said: "He occasionally went out previously, but not as often as now."

Qin Feiyang’s eyes glimmered, looking at Lu Hong and Luk Zheng: "I’m going out for a while. Be cautious of that village chief."

"You really suspect him?"

Lu Hong said.

"Strange events always have a cause. Regardless of whether Wang Jin’s disappearance is related to him, it needs investigation."

Qin Feiyang said, then opened a portal, and walked through it.

"I’m going too."

Luk Zheng’s eyes flashed, and he followed inside.

Wang XiaoJie stared blankly at the teleportation portal and asked, "Angel sister, what is this thing? Where did those two Brother Immortals go?"

"This is called a teleportation portal; it can directly transport people from inside the village to outside."

"As for where those two Brother Immortals went? That needs to be kept secret for now."

Lu Hong affectionately ruffled Wang XiaoJie’s hair and laughed.

"Such a magical thing exists?"

As he examined the teleportation portal, Wang XiaoJie’s face was full of curiosity.

Lu Hong laughed, "This world is vast, and what you see now is just the tip of the iceberg."

"Really?"

Wang XiaoJie had a confused expression.

Lu Hong nodded but did not speak further.

Because there are some things, even if explained, Wang XiaoJie might not understand.

...

Outside the village!

Beyond the grove, Qin Feiyang and Luk Zheng appeared out of thin air.

Qin Feiyang immediately looked at Luk Zheng and frowned, "Why did you follow?"

"How could I miss something this interesting?"

Luk Zheng grinned widely.

"You..."

"Forget it, you’re already here."

Qin Feiyang sighed helplessly and looked around the forest.

Luk Zheng asked, "Is this the forest you mentioned?"

"Yes."

Qin Feiyang nodded and entered the forest, searching for traces of Wang Yuo.

But within the visible range, there wasn’t a ghost’s shadow.

Qin Feiyang transmitted sound, "This forest isn’t large, let’s split up and search. You go east, I’ll go west, and we’ll meet in the south. Try not to make any noise."

"No problem."

"But before we split up, we should establish a contract bridge for easier contact in case of emergencies."

Luk Zheng suggested.

Qin Feiyang nodded.

They took out their Image Crystal Stones and established a contract bridge, then immediately split up.

Qin Feiyang headed east.

Along the way, he encountered various insects but didn’t see any wild beasts.

He made no sound with his footsteps.

The surroundings were very quiet.

Before long.

He reached the eastern end of the forest but didn’t see Wang Yuo.

Standing at the edge of the forest, he looked ahead.

Outside the forest was a plain, overgrown with wild grass but no trees, offering a wide view.

In the plain, Qin Feiyang also found no trace of Wang Yuo.

At the end of the plain were endless mountains, rising and falling continuously.

After observing for a while, Qin Feiyang turned around and headed south.

Approximately one hundred heartbeats later.

At a pond, Qin Feiyang and Luk Zheng met up.

"How’s it going?"

Luk Zheng asked.

Qin Feiyang shook his head, "Did you find anything?"

"Nothing."

Luk Zheng shook his head.

"Strange, with his speed, he shouldn’t have gone far!"

Qin Feiyang furrowed his brow tightly.

"Not necessarily."

Luk Zheng replied.

"What do you mean?"

Qin Feiyang looked at him suspiciously.

Luk Zheng said, "If the village chief is indeed a cultivator with hidden powers as we suspected, then his son must also have cultivation."

"Makes sense."

Qin Feiyang nodded.

The two turned and swiftly left the forest, gazing at the mountains outside the plains, their eyes flickering uncertainly.

Suddenly, Luk Zheng frowned and said, "Those areas, Fatty and the others searched last night. If anything had been there, they should have found it."

"But we didn’t consider that Wang Jin’s disappearance might have other causes. We only thought she might have been attacked by wild beasts or trapped due to some special circumstances."

"That’s why Fatty and the others weren’t very thorough in their search."

Qin Feiyang said.

"That is indeed a problem."

"Because we have no idea which direction Wang Yuo went."

"And outside the plains is all mountainous and deserted. Finding someone would be like finding a needle in a haystack."

Luk Zheng frowned.

"It’s all my fault for being too careless. I should have followed back then."

Qin Feiyang was extremely annoyed.

"You think you’re some kind of Immortal, able to foresee everything? You didn’t even know who he was at the time; why would you follow him?"

Luk Zheng rolled his eyes and pondered for a moment before continuing, "Searching like this isn’t a solution. We should just wait here; hasn’t he been coming out frequently during this time? Let’s wait outside the village."

"That’s all we can do."

Qin Feiyang nodded.

The two searched the forest again before returning to where they first entered, standing on a large tree branch, using the dense leaves to conceal themselves and quietly waiting.

Time passed slowly.

Noon!

Every household in the village began to raise smoke from cooking fires, which coiled above the village like giant dragons.

Hunters returning from outside also gradually arrived.

Some returned with full loads, while others came back empty-handed.

Whoosh!

Suddenly!

A sound pierced through the air within the forest, reaching Qin Feiyang and Luk Zheng’s ears.

"Huh?"

The two exchanged a look, their eyes glinting sharply.

The sound indicated someone flying over.

They quickly looked, and immediately in the forest ahead, they saw a young man in white flying towards them.

And at a considerable speed!

"He’s definitely got cultivation!"

Their eyes trembled slightly.

Because the person was none other than the village chief’s son, Wang Yuo!
