"That's right."
"He did lose to my ancestor."
"But he didn't die."
Qin Feiyang said.
"Didn't die?"
Gongsun Bei was utterly shocked.
"Yeah."
"He's still alive and well right now, hiding in the Great Qin Empire."
Qin Feiyang nodded.
"Then do you know where he's hiding?"
Gongsun Bei asked.
"I do."
"Right now he and I are still in a cooperative relationship."
Qin Feiyang said with a faint smile.
"You're working with him?"
Gongsun Bei was dumbfounded.
As a descendant of Emperor Qin, he was actually cooperating with Emperor Qin's former mortal enemy?
Had this kid gone mad?
"Don't overthink it. Even though he and I are in a cooperative relationship, we're just using each other and taking what we need."
Qin Feiyang said.
"Even so, that's way too risky!"
"This is basically skinning a tiger; one misstep and he'll swallow you whole."
Gongsun Bei said speechlessly.
"Even if he wants to swallow me now, his belly can't hold it."
Qin Feiyang sneered.
"What do you mean?"
Gongsun Bei was puzzled.
"Although back then my ancestor didn't kill him, he shattered his Divine Soul and severely wounded his vitality."
"Right now his strength probably isn't even one percent of what it was at his peak."
Qin Feiyang said.
"So that's how it is."
Gongsun Bei suddenly understood and also let out a sigh of relief, smiling as he said, "If that's really the case, then we can still proceed according to the original plan."
"Original plan?"
Qin Feiyang was stunned, looking at Gongsun Bei oddly as he said, "Don't tell me you heard that Mu Tianyang is still alive and were about to change the plan?"
Gongsun Bei gave a wry smile and didn't deny it, saying, "After all, Mu Tianyang is a true War God. My General Tower can't afford to provoke him."
Qin Feiyang was rather helpless and asked, "How much more do you know about Mu Tianyang?"
"I only ever heard the General Tower Master mention him a bit; how much could I know?"
"I just didn't expect that this Mu Family would actually be Mu Tianyang's descendants."
Gongsun Bei sighed.
Qin Feiyang's eyes flashed as he said, "Then does the General Tower Master know the Mu Family's background?"
"You even need to ask? Of course he doesn't."
"Although the General Tower Master is somewhat selfish, I know that he cares about the safety of the Forgotten Continent more than anyone."
"To put it bluntly, he cares about power. He won't let anyone threaten his position."
"So if he knew, he definitely wouldn't have allowed the Mu Family to remain on the Forgotten Continent."
Gongsun Bei said.
Qin Feiyang nodded.
That made sense.
Although he hadn't been around the General Tower Master for long, he still had a decent grasp of his personality.
If someone really threatened his position, he'd definitely think of a way to eliminate them immediately.
Besides.
If the General Tower Master really knew, he wouldn't have let go of such a good chance to extort the Mu Family—for example, the Potential Elixir.
Yet even Young Master Hao hadn't opened the Door of Potential before meeting him.
Which showed that the General Tower Master truly didn't know.
"Those damned bastards actually deceived us for so many years. This time, we must wipe them out in one fell swoop!"
Gongsun Bei snorted coldly, his hands unconsciously clenching tight as murderous intent surged in his eyes.
Only today had he learned that the Mu Family had originally been using their Forgotten Continent to recuperate and await Mu Tianyang's return.
Luk Zheng cast him a faint glance and said, "So now, do you still deny what I said?"
Gongsun Bei was taken aback, then smiled wryly and said, "Although they've opened the Door of Potential, to cultivate to Three Star War Emperor in such a short time still can't be called stupid. Their talent is actually not bad."
"Tch!"
Luk Zheng raised his middle finger in disdain.
Qin Feiyang sized up the two black-clad youths, suddenly seeming to remember something. He turned to look at Gongsun Bei and said, "Right, why did the General Tower Master take in the Mu Family back then? If you say it was out of kindness, I really don't buy it."
Because the General Tower Master simply wasn't that kind of person.
"I truly don't know about that."
"A few times I tried to feel him out indirectly, but the General Tower Master has always been evasive and unwilling to answer directly."
Gongsun Bei said.
Qin Feiyang furrowed his brows.
It seemed there had to be some unknown vested interest involved here.
Rumble!
Crack!
The battle between the two black-clad youths and the black eagle had already reached a white-hot stage.
The black eagle was a Four-star emperor beast. Although it was a small realm higher than the two, they both had mastered several perfect battle arts, so the black eagle was gradually showing signs of being overwhelmed.
Qin Feiyang asked, "What are their names?"
"Mu Sheng and Mu Xing."
Gongsun Bei said.
Qin Feiyang said, "Not only do you know their names, you even know their cultivation. Looks like you really put your heart into the Mu Family."
Gongsun Bei said, "To tell you the truth, I've been monitoring the Mu Family all these years."
Qin Feiyang was taken aback, then laughed and asked, "So what has Brother Gongsun discovered?"
Gongsun Bei shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't laugh at me. Although I've been watching them all these years, I've only successfully infiltrated the Mu Family's lair once, and I almost got discovered in the end."
Qin Feiyang gave a free and easy smile.
This actually didn't surprise him.
Who was the Mu Family? There were definitely experts guarding the entrance. Trying to sneak in would be harder than ascending to heaven.
For Gongsun Bei to have infiltrated even once was already extremely rare.
Qin Feiyang once again looked at the two black-clad youths, a trace of doubt climbing into his eyes.
Why were these two fighting the black eagle?
Training?
But he knew that there were countless fierce beasts in the area stronger than the black eagle. Training here was absolutely a very unwise move.
"Mu Xing, we can't drag this out any longer, or we'll attract those powerful Nine-Star emperor beasts. Hurry and go all out!"
Mu Sheng suddenly shouted.
Mu Xing nodded.
Boom!!
The two men's bodies trembled as they simultaneously activated their Battle Souls.
Both of their Battle Souls were humanoid, over a hundred zhang tall, radiating a sky‑filling Evil Qi, but their whole forms were shrouded in black mist, making it impossible to see their true faces.
"Kill!"
The two shouted furiously.
The two humanoid Battle Souls raised their gigantic hands and slapped down toward the black eagle.
The black eagle knew it wasn't a match and turned to flee.
But the speed of the two Battle Souls was terrifying; they killed their way over in an instant!
Chirp!
With a mournful cry, the black eagle's massive body immediately split into four or five chunks, blood dyeing the sky!
And after killing the black eagle, the two instantly tore open the air and left.
Luk Zheng said, "Follow them!"
Qin Feiyang nodded, taking Luk Zheng and Gongsun Bei, silently tailing the two men from behind.
Not long after!
An inconspicuous little valley entered the trio's line of sight, and Mu Sheng and the other went straight into it.
The three followed them in.
The little valley was only about a hundred zhang across, covered in weeds and shrubs, looking extremely desolate.
"What did they come here for?"
"This place doesn't look like somewhere that would have treasures."
Luk Zheng frowned.
"There's the black eagle's aura here. That means this is the black eagle's nest."
Qin Feiyang muttered.
There's a saying: you can't judge anything by its surface.
Sometimes the more unremarkable a place is, the more likely it is to hide treasures.
And right now!
Mu Xing and the other were walking toward a patch of shrubs on the right side of the valley. The closer they got, the more excited their expressions became.
As if there was some great treasure hidden in that shrub.
The three exchanged a look, then soundlessly flew over, lowering their heads to scan the shrubs.
This patch of shrubs looked no different from ordinary shrubs.
The ground was a bit damp, covered with a thick layer of dead branches and rotting leaves, giving off a decayed stench.
And within the shrubs, there was a strange little grass.
This little grass was only a finger long, bearing three slender leaves. The reason it was called strange was that the whole grass was pitch‑black, releasing a cold, yin aura.
"What is that?"
Gongsun Bei was full of puzzlement.
It was his first time seeing such a peculiar wild grass.
At this moment.
Mu Xing and the other also arrived in front of the shrubs, their gazes locking directly onto the black little grass, the excitement on their faces impossible to hide.
Qin Feiyang glanced at the two, then looked at the black little grass again, doubt filling his eyes.
He was sure he'd never seen this kind of grass before, yet for some reason it felt familiar.
"That's Profound Yin Grass!"
Luk Zheng suddenly sent a voice transmission.
"Profound Yin Grass?"
Qin Feiyang was stunned, turning to look at Luk Zheng, only to find Luk Zheng staring at the Profound Yin Grass, eyes brimming with greed.
Wait a second!
Profound Yin Grass?
Why did that name also sound familiar?
Suddenly!
His gaze trembled as he looked at the Profound Yin Grass again, eyes flashing brilliantly.
Profound Yin Grass—wasn't that one of the medicinal herbs for the Big Creation Pill?
And moreover.
If he remembered correctly, it was one of the most crucial few ingredients!
He was thrilled; he hadn't expected to run into such a rare treasure on the way!
The main ingredients for the Big Creation Pill were: Fortune Fruit, White Jade Fruit, Purple Spirit Flower, Profound Yang Grass, Profound Yin Grass!
Profound Yin Grass was ranked fifth, which showed just how rare it was.
"Profound Yin Grass is almost unheard of in this world. Once we hand it over to the Family Head, we'll definitely get a hefty reward."
Mu Xing and the other cheerfully cleared away the shrubs, then squatted beside the Profound Yin Grass, pulled out a dagger, and started digging.
"I'm afraid you won't have the chance to enjoy that reward."
Just then.
A chuckle rang out.
"Who's there?"
The two were greatly shocked, raising their heads to scan the surroundings.
They actually hadn't noticed that someone else was hiding here?
Whoosh!
Qin Feiyang and the others revealed themselves.
"What?"
"Qin Feiyang!"
"Gongsun Bei!"
Their faces changed drastically.
Qin Feiyang said teasingly, "Surprised, aren't you?"
"Weren't you in the Great Qin Empire?"
"When did you come to the Forgotten Continent?"
The two asked in shock.
"Eight days ago."
Qin Feiyang replied.
"Then what are you here for?"
The two were both shocked and suspicious.
Qin Feiyang grinned and said, "Obviously, I'm here for your Mu Family."
"Damn it!"
"Run!"
The two cursed under their breath and turned tail to flee.
Gongsun Bei hurriedly said, "We can't let them get away!"
If the two escaped back, the Mu Family would find out that General Tower had already joined forces with Qin Feiyang, and they would definitely make preparations in advance.
"Relax, they can't escape."
Qin Feiyang chuckled, glancing at the sea leopard and sea horse lying on his shoulders, and said, "What are you still loafing around for? Go finish them."
"Alright."
The two beasts lazily replied, leaving Qin Feiyang's shoulders and flying toward Mu Xing and the other, unhurried.
To be honest.
They had absolutely no interest in little small fries like these and couldn't be bothered to get fired up.
Ah!!
As expected.
Under the absolutely overwhelming cultivation of the two beasts, Mu Xing and his companion had no power to resist and were directly insta‑killed, not even bones left behind.
