Chapter 1183 - 1118: Old Turtles and Old Fools
Qin Feiyang squinted his eyes, looking at Mu Qing.
He hadn’t expected this guy to care so much about the Divine Crystal.
His peripheral vision swept towards the First and Second Patriarch Mu, noticing the same desire in their eyes.
"Could it really be some divine object?"
Qin Feiyang muttered secretly.
"Speak up!"
Mu Qing shouted.
Qin Feiyang’s eyes flashed, and he said with a faint smile, "I’ve already handed it over to the Phoenix Tower’s young lady."
"Huh?"
Mu Qing was taken aback, frowning, "Why did you give it to her?"
"Isn’t your Mu Family supposed to be very powerful? Don’t you know she’s the person the mysterious woman planted in the Central Divine Nation?"
Qin Feiyang smirked.
"What?"
The three of Mu Qing were utterly shocked.
Mu Qing said in a deep voice, "So, you snatched the Divine Crystal on the mysterious woman’s orders?"
"Yes."
Qin Feiyang nodded.
"I don’t get it."
"Why would someone as unruly as you obey her?"
Mu Qing furrowed his brows.
Qin Feiyang said blandly, "Do you still remember the Sky Tiger Tribe?"
"Of course I remember. Yan Wei by your side is the leader of the Sky Tiger Tribe."
"Back then, the Demon Child was also killed by the mysterious woman in the Sky Tiger Tribe!"
Mu Qing said, filled with hatred.
"Years ago, after the mysterious woman killed the Demon Child, she threatened me with Yan Wei’s tribesmen to make me go into the General Tower to snatch the Divine Crystal."
"At that time, I was troubled by how to enter the Central Divine Nation."
"After all, back then, the teleportation altar was guarded by people from the General Tower, making it almost impossible to sneak through."
"And although passing through the Endless Sea was a route to the Central Divine Nation, with my ability, successfully crossing it seemed impossible."
"But then you came to me, asking for my help to snatch the Heavenly Aura Flame."
"So, I just went with the flow and agreed."
"However, I didn’t know then that the Phoenix Tower’s young lady was connected to the mysterious woman."
Qin Feiyang said.
"I see."
Mu Qing suddenly realized and shook his head, "But I still don’t believe you’ve handed the Divine Crystal over to the Phoenix Tower’s young lady. Because I know you too well, with your cautious nature, you wouldn’t hand it over without seeing Yan Wei’s tribesmen first."
Qin Feiyang was stunned.
This guy actually knows him so well?
"I hit the nail on the head, didn’t I?"
"I know it’s impossible to force you to hand over the Divine Crystal."
"How about this, we exchange conditions."
"You give me the Divine Crystal, and I’ll help you rescue Yan Wei’s tribesmen."
Mu Qing said.
Qin Feiyang looked at him, his eyes flickering uncertainly.
Given Mu Family’s ability, rescuing Yan Wei’s tribesmen would indeed be an easy task.
But in doing so, he would be completely at odds with the mysterious woman.
The most crucial thing is, Mu Qing’s words can’t be trusted!
Seeing Qin Feiyang silent, Mu Qing raised his brows and gritted his teeth, "If that’s not enough, I can add another bargaining chip, the Fire Qilin!"
"Fire Qilin!"
Qin Feiyang’s eyes trembled.
One must know.
The Fire Qilin is indeed a true divine beast, and its future power is immeasurable.
But now, Mu Qing is actually willing to give him the Fire Qilin for the Divine Crystal?
Obviously, in Mu Qing’s eyes, the value of the Fire Qilin isn’t even worth the Divine Crystal!
How important is this Divine Crystal?
Mu Qing continued, "I can even have someone bring the Fire Qilin to you now!"
Qin Feiyang was tempted.
The Fire Qilin had always been a knot in his heart. If he could truly secure the freedom of the Fire Qilin and Yan Wei’s tribesmen in exchange for the Divine Crystal, he might as well agree to Mu Qing’s deal.
However.
Mu Qing is someone he really can’t trust easily; if there’s foul play, he’d end up with nothing.
"I can’t take the risk."
Eventually.
He still decided to seek out the mysterious woman personally.
As for the Fire Qilin, the Mu Family definitely wouldn’t harm it, and he could take his time figuring out how to rescue it later.
On the surface, though, he remained hesitant.
Because he hadn’t figured out a way to extricate himself yet.
Mu Qing, impatient, said, "This deal is profit without loss for you, what’s there to hesitate about?"
Qin Feiyang said, "How do I know you’re not lying to me?"
"I swear."
Mu Qing said.
Qin Feiyang sneered, "Oaths are just words fools believe."
"Then what will make you believe?"
Mu Qing frowned.
"I don’t know."
Qin Feiyang shook his head.
The scene fell into a stalemate.
The Second Patriarch Mu said coldly, "Qing’er, don’t waste words with him, just take him back, and I’ll have my ways to make him hand over the Divine Crystal."
"Wait."
Qin Feiyang hurriedly said.
Though he’s always wanted to know where the Mu Family’s base was, he also knew that stepping in meant entering the lion’s den, escaping would be nearly impossible.
"Have you figured it out?"
Seeing the fear on Qin Feiyang’s face, Mu Qing sneered.
"Fine, I’ll give it to you."
"Release your grip, return the Qiankun Bag to me, and I’ll go to the ancient castle to get the Divine Crystal."
Qin Feiyang said helplessly.
Mu Qing released Qin Feiyang and shoved the Qiankun Bag into Qin Feiyang’s hand, saying, "I’m not at ease if you go to the ancient castle alone; we must go with you."
Qin Feiyang said, "As long as you don’t play tricks, anything is possible."
Mu Qing said with a smile, "Rest assured, I’ll give you the Fire Qilin and help you rescue Yan Wei’s tribesmen."
Qin Feiyang sighed, "Then I’ll reluctantly trust you this once."
Mu Qing’s face turned dark.
What do you mean by ’reluctantly’? Am I that untrustworthy?
Qin Feiyang glanced at First Patriarch Mu and frowned, "Still not retracting your turtle-like arrogance?"
First Patriarch Mu was so angry he could blow his beard and glare.
Turtle-like arrogance? Isn’t that basically calling him an old turtle indirectly?
Second Patriarch Mu advised, "Brother, bear with it, that’s just how he is."
"Yeah, that’s just how I am, but I’m still better than you two old turtles who have been around for a millennium, why not just die?"
Qin Feiyang said indifferently.
The two ground their teeth, veins popping.
This is purely testing their patience!
"Hurry up!"
"If you don’t retract your turtle-like arrogance, how can I go to the ancient castle?"
Qin Feiyang looked impatient.
First Patriarch Mu swallowed his fury, stepped forward, grabbed Qin Feiyang’s shoulder, and finally restrained his pressure.
He did this to prevent Qin Feiyang from sneaking off to the ancient castle alone.
Without the pressure to restrain him, they couldn’t stop him.
"Quite cautious."
Qin Feiyang was somewhat annoyed.
He indeed intended to quickly sneak into the ancient castle when First Patriarch Mu retracted his pressure.
Though he would be trapped there, the Mu Family could do nothing to him.
But now.
With First Patriarch Mu holding him, he could only obediently lead the three of them to the ancient castle.
First Patriarch Mu said, "What are you standing there for? You’re not thinking of playing tricks, are you?"
"Do you think I am like you people?"
"Shameless old fool."
Qin Feiyang snorted coldly.
First Patriarch Mu started blowing his whiskers and glaring again. Old turtle, old fool, do they not see him at all?
"Looks like I can only get into the ancient castle first, and then think of a plan."
Qin Feiyang’s eyes flashed, a subtle thought crossed his mind, and the four of them immediately disappeared without a trace.
Inside the ancient castle!
Fatty and others had been listening to the conversation outside, so before Qin Feiyang brought Mu Qing and the others in, they had already prepared.
After all.
First Patriarch Mu and Second Patriarch Mu are both Nine-Star War Emperor old monsters, there’s no room for carelessness.
"So many people?"
At the same time.
Looking at Fatty and others, who were on high alert, First Patriarch Mu and Second Patriarch Mu were quite surprised.
However.
First Patriarch Mu continued to firmly grasp Qin Feiyang’s shoulder, not giving him any chance.
"Hm?"
"Aren’t you the Viper and Wealthy Elixir King from the Ten Elites of Qinghai? Why are you here too?"
Suddenly.
Mu Qing looked at Viper and the Wealthy Elixir King in surprise.
But the two did not reply, remaining highly vigilant.
"Ahem!"
Qin Feiyang cleared his throat, turned his head towards First Patriarch Mu, and frowned, "Old fool, we’re already inside, can you let go of your dog claws?"
"Dog claws?"
First Patriarch Mu was instantly enraged, shouting, "Kid, dare to speak disrespectfully again, and I’ll be sure to cripple you!"
"Whatever, it’s not like I’m short of Spiritual Sea Pills anyway."
Qin Feiyang shrugged his shoulders.
Seeing Qin Feiyang’s nonchalant attitude like a shameless rascal, First Patriarch Mu was just about to explode.
Second Patriarch Mu hurriedly said, "Brother, calm down, he’s intentionally provoking you to make you release him."
With that, he looked at Qin Feiyang, sneering, "Kid, when it comes to space artifacts, we know more than you, so those little plans in your mind are useless."
Qin Feiyang’s heart skipped a beat, but he remained expressionless and said, "I’m such an honest person, how could I have any small plans?"
"Honest?"
Second Patriarch Mu was nearly spitting blood from anger, how could there be such a shameless person in the world?
"In a space artifact, the owner of the space artifact can disregard the other party’s cultivation and directly throw them out."
"You’re planning just that!"
"Deliberately trying to provoke the first patriarch, and once he releases your shoulder, you’ll immediately throw us out."
Mu Qing glanced lightly at Qin Feiyang and said.
"You really do know!"
Qin Feiyang slightly raised a brow without leaving a trace.
"Hurry up, don’t waste everyone’s time."
Mu Qing waved a hand, looking quite impatient.
Qin Feiyang sighed inwardly and walked towards the altar, standing before the iron box.
Mu Qing glanced at the iron box and asked, "Is the mystical artifact in here?"
Qin Feiyang nodded, cut his finger, and a drop of purple-gold Dragon Blood oozed out, dripping onto the iron box.
Crack!
The iron box immediately emitted a hazy glow, followed by a sharp crack.
"This..."
Mu Qing and the others were dumbfounded.
It actually requires Qin Feiyang’s blood to open this iron box?
Could this also be a treasure?
While they were staring at the iron box, letting their imaginations run wild, Qin Feiyang lifted his arm, opened the box lid, and the mystical artifact was immediately revealed!
"It’s really the mystical artifact!"
Mu Qing and the others immediately shifted their gaze to the mystical artifact, the excitement on their faces was undeniable.
"Qing’er, quickly!"
First Patriarch Mu shouted, breathing heavily.
Mu Qing suddenly shivered, came to his senses, and immediately grabbed the mystical artifact.
"Hm?"
As Mu Qing took the mystical artifact, the four large characters on the iron book immediately caught their eyes.
——Six-Character Mantra!
The three looked curiously at the iron book.
Qin Feiyang glanced at their expressions, knowing the opportunity had come, and looking at the Six-Character Mantra, he asked, "Do you know what this is?"
"What?"
Mu Qing asked.
N-M
