Immortal God of War

"The village chief and his son’s deaths, they will find out sooner or later. If you don’t tell the truth, I’m afraid you’ll have to take the blame."

Wealthy Elixir King frowned and said.

"That’s right."

Viper nodded.

When the villagers learn of the village chief and his son’s deaths, they will definitely think of what happened today, naturally believing it was they who killed the father and son.

If they reveal the truth, the villagers will surely be grateful to them.

But if they don’t reveal the truth, these villagers will undoubtedly hate them, and they might even earn a terrible reputation for indiscriminate killing and neglecting human life.

These are two extreme contrasts.

"We can only protect Wang Jin’s reputation, even if it means taking the blame myself, it’s no big deal."

Qin Feiyang smiled faintly.

Wealthy Elixir King and Viper smiled wryly.

"Alright, you handle it. I’ll go find a place to seclude myself."

Qin Feiyang waved his hand, opened a portal, and walked in without looking back.

"The young master, sometimes he can be terrifying, but sometimes he moves people."

After the portal vanished, Viper shook his head and sighed.

"Indeed!"

"To go this far for someone he met by chance, it’s hard to find another like him in the world."

"No more talking, let’s handle this quickly!"

Wealthy Elixir King laughed briefly, dragging Wang Yuo’s body into the study, and throwing it into the secret room.

Viper also found some rags to wipe the blood off the floor.

Once everything was tidied up, the two took Shape-shifting Pills and transformed into the father and son, then opened the door and went out.

"Village Chief!"

"Young Master Wang Yuo, are you alright?"

The people outside immediately asked with concern.

But Wang Jin’s face was full of doubt.

She clearly saw Wang Yuo being killed with her own eyes, so how could he appear alive in front of her?

Luk Zheng and Lu Hong also looked puzzled.

Viper looked at Luk Zheng and Lu Hong, secretly sending a message with a smile: "It’s us."

The two suddenly realized.

"Village Chief, say something!"

The villagers urged impatiently.

"It’s nothing."

Wealthy Elixir King waved with a smile.

"Then what was all the screaming about earlier inside?"

The villagers were puzzled.

Wealthy Elixir King laughed: "There was just a little mishap earlier, it’s all fine now, everyone should disperse!"

"You scared us to death."

"We thought you were fighting inside!"

"By the way, where’s young brother Jian Fei? Why don’t we see him?"

Everyone looked around the hall.

Wealthy Elixir King said: "He left through the back door, I think he had something to do, he shouldn’t be gone long."

"That young brother really is quite busy!"

"Indeed, he’s been in the village for two days, and I’ve only seen him once."

"You’ve seen him once, I haven’t seen him at all."

The people started chatting.

Wealthy Elixir King waved his hand again: "Alright, there will be chances in the future, everyone should disperse!"

"Alright then, we’re off, call us if you need anything."

Everyone left in twos and threes.

Finally, only Luk Zheng, Lu Hong, Wang Jin, Wang XiaoJie, and the woman remained.

Wealthy Elixir King looked at Wang XiaoJie and the woman, smiling faintly: "You should head back too."

"This..."

The mother and son hesitated.

Wealthy Elixir King said: "Don’t worry, Brother Jian and Miss Lu will escort Jin Er back later."

The father and son looked at Luk Zheng and the others.

Lu Hong nodded to them, and only then did the mother and son turn around and leave.

Once the mother and son were far, Wealthy Elixir King looked at Wang Jin and said: "Young master helped conceal what Wang Yuo did to you, so in the future don’t feel inferior, and don’t act rashly, live well."

"Yes."

Wang Jin nodded respectfully.

Wealthy Elixir King said: "Additionally, if the villagers ask about your injuries, just tell them you were hurt by a wild beast."

"Alright."

Wang Jin nodded again.

Wealthy Elixir King smiled and looked at Luk Zheng and the others, saying: "That’s it, take her back!"

"Wait, where’s my little cousin?"

Luk Zheng asked privately.

No need to mention the village chief, he must be dead, but how could Qin Feiyang suddenly have something and leave through the back door?

Wealthy Elixir King conveyed: "The young master said he was going to seclude himself for cultivation; we don’t know where he went either."

"Seclude himself?"

"Isn’t he going to the Sea of Reincarnation?"

Luk Zheng frowned.

"He is going!"

"But the young master said he wants to investigate that mysterious organization first; you don’t know, the village chief and his son have been taking Bloodfiend Pills for years, and these came from that mysterious organization."

Wealthy Elixir King conveyed.

"Mysterious organization?"

"Bloodfiend Pill?"

"What on earth is going on?"

Luk Zheng and Lu Hong exchanged looks, suspiciously eyeing Wealthy Elixir King and the others.

Before questioning the village chief, Luk Zheng had taken Wang Jin out, so he had no idea what happened afterward.

Wealthy Elixir King gave a brief explanation.

"Oh my god."

"The Crane Immortal is actually a Five Star War Emperor? And in that mysterious organization, he’s the weakest?"

"This is a bit absurd."

Luk Zheng and Lu Hong were shocked.

Wealthy Elixir King conveyed: "That’s how it is, for the next four months, we’ll just treat it as a time to rest and recuperate here!"

"I don’t mind."

Luk Zheng shrugged his shoulders and asked internally, "But with Crane Immortal being so strong, does your cousin have confidence?"

"Since the young master chose to stay, he should have some confidence, right!"

Wealthy Elixir King furrowed his brows and wasn’t sure.

"Let’s just take it one step at a time!"

Luk Zheng smiled faintly, looked down at Wang Jin, and said, "Let’s go back!"

"Alright."

Wang Jin lowered her head and asked softly, "Are they really the village chief and Wang Yuo?"

"Well..."

"It’s a secret, can’t tell you for now. Anyway, from now on, they won’t harm you again."

Luk Zheng smiled.

Wang Jin breathed a sigh of relief, blushed, and said gratefully, "Thank you, you’re a good person."

"Ha..."

Luk Zheng chuckled awkwardly.

Then, Luk Zheng and the others left with Wang Jin.

...

"The young master’s concerns really might come true!"

Watching Wang Jin’s back, Wealthy Elixir King said in a low voice.

"What is the young master worried about?"

The viper questioned suspiciously.

"Forgot so fast?"

"Not long ago, Wang Yuo said that now, besides him, no one would be willing to marry Wang Jin. Luk Zheng interjected, saying he was willing."

"You see how Wang Jin is now, she’s already dependent on Luk Zheng."

"I think Luk Zheng is in trouble."

Wealthy Elixir King laughed gloatingly.

The viper raised his head to look at Wang Jin’s back, eyes rolling, suddenly grinned, and said, "If that’s the case, then this gets interesting."

...

Gradually.

The village returned to calm.

Initially, Wang Jin often sat alone daydreaming, or hid indoors, refusing to go out.

After all, with such an incident, no matter which woman it was, they’d surely struggle to overcome such a barrier in their heart in a short time.

But with Luk Zheng and Lu Hong’s guidance, she slowly emerged from the shadows and regained a lot of her vitality.

Her mental state gradually changed too.

But as Wealthy Elixir King predicted, Wang Jin became more reliant on Luk Zheng, often clinging to him.

And she’d serve tea and water, do laundry and cook meals.

At first, Luk Zheng didn’t think much of it, believing it was gratitude because he saved Wang Jin.

But gradually, he felt something amiss!

Isn’t this a bit too enthusiastic?

Finally one day, he inadvertently spotted Wang Jin sitting alone indoors, painting his portrait.

Watching his portrait, Wang Jin’s eyes brimmed with affection; at that moment, he realized the trouble.

Yet, he couldn’t bear to be straightforward.

Since Wang Jin had just recovered, being blunt would surely hurt her again.

So he sought Lu Hong and Wealthy Elixir King’s help.

Would the three help?

Certainly not!

They all held a voyeuristic attitude, which annoyed him quite a bit, and when he messaged Qin Feiyang, Qin Feiyang ignored him too.

Nothing he could do.

He could only start gradually distancing himself from Wang Jin, hoping to let her understand his intentions through this attitude.

But instead, Wang Jin clung even tighter.

This troubled him greatly.

All day it felt like he was playing hide-and-seek with Wang Jin; as soon as he saw her appear, he’d flee immediately.

While Wealthy Elixir King and the viper usually stayed inside cultivating, only going out if necessary.

As for Lu Hong, she often interacted with villagers and sometimes accompanied them hunting.

In time, everyone got familiar with each other.

And the villagers really liked her.

Not only is she pretty, but she’s also considerate.

Yet, she’s never forgetting to cultivate.

Usually, when the night is deep and quiet, she’ll leave the village alone to find a place for meditation.

Then there’s Wang XiaoJie.

Ever since witnessing Qin Feiyang’s trio’s skills, he admired them immensely.

Initially shy due to unfamiliarity, but after getting familiar with Lu Hong and the others, he’d stick to them daily, asking for cultivation lessons.

Lu Hong formed a habit of consulting Qin Feiyang before doing anything, so she didn’t easily agree.

Luk Zheng, afraid of Wang Jin, day-to-day lived in fear and nearly broke down; naturally, he wasn’t in the mood to teach Wang XiaoJie.

If it weren’t for needing to investigate that mysterious organization, he’d have left already.

Therefore.

Whenever Wang XiaoJie requested to cultivate, he’d simply ignore or push it onto Qin Feiyang.

Meaning, if you want to cultivate, fine, go ask Uncle Jian Fei; if he agrees, I’ll teach you.

Later.

Wang XiaoJie would wait at the village entrance daily, hoping for Qin Feiyang’s return.

But as days passed, not a single shadow appeared, not even Qin Feiyang.

And so.

Four months went by.

This dawn, outside the village, hundreds of miles away in a mountain ravine, an overwhelming imperial might suddenly erupted.

Beasts within a hundred-mile radius were startled, staring at a several dozen-meter high hill with awe and fear.

Up on a boulder peak, sat a white-clothed youth cross-legged, appearing around twenty-three or twenty-four, eyes closed, facial features sharp, chiseled like a blade, his sword-like brows conveying a powerful aura.

In these beasts’ minds, the white-clothed youth arrived four months ago; they wondered why a human would foolishly deliver themselves?

When they closed in for a feast, a change occurred.

This human, with just a wave, slaughtered nearby sacred beasts, terrifying them all, fleeing for their lives.

Yet.

The human seemed merciful, not pursuing them.

Ever since, they dared not act rashly.

The white-clothed youth constantly meditated atop the peak, never departing even a step.

But just now, his aura surged, transforming from Saint Prestige to imperial might, terrifying the beasts again, feeling incredibly uneasy and tense, fearing that after boosting his cultivation, the white-clothed youth would slaughter them all.
