Xuanwu War Sovereign

Chapter 470: Chapter 469: Shi Han Reappears

The Flower Empress was exceptionally wary of Qin Feng, who had injured her last time.

But the Flower Empress also knew Qin Feng was far from an easy opponent. This time, she had come prepared.

’With that Treasure, Qin Feng, you will die, even if you are a Martial Arts Giant!’

A cold glint flashed through her enchanting eyes, vanishing in an instant.

...

「At the same time.」

On a small hill outside Weiyue City, a young woman clad in white gauze frowned.

"Young Miss, have you still not been able to sense Miss Shi Tong’s whereabouts? Could it be that she has already met a cruel fate at the hands of that member of the Human Race?"

The speaker was an old man, tall and powerfully built, with a full head of white hair. He looked like a majestic lion.

He was a Martial Arts Giant from the Celestial Lion Clan.

The young woman in white was an old acquaintance of Qin Feng’s. During the battle at Heaven-Reaching Ridge, he had nearly captured her.

She was Shi Han, the Saintess of the Bright Heavenly Lion Clan.

"Third Uncle, although Second Sister and I are full-blooded siblings and can sometimes communicate telepathically, if she is determined to block our connection, I may not be able to find her!"

Shi Han’s beautiful eyes were filled with worry. Ever since the battle at Heaven-Reaching Ridge when Qin Feng had captured Shi Tong, she had sensed their connection suddenly sever.

Shi Tong’s status in the Celestial Lion Clan was extraordinary. Together, she and her sister were known as the Saintesses of Light and Darkness.

Although Shi Tong often resented her, and their daily interactions were not exactly harmonious, Shi Han couldn’t help but worry when she recalled the scene of her sister being taken away.

She dared not imagine what fate would befall Shi Tong in the hands of those Martial Arts Strongmen.

’No matter what, she is my sister. I must save her!’

As countless thoughts flashed through her mind, the tall Lion Race elder spoke.

"Young Miss, is it possible that Miss Shi Tong is already...?"

Shi Han denied it emphatically. "No, impossible! I may not be able to contact Shi Tong right now, but I can feel that she is still alive!"

"I’ve made inquiries. The man who defeated Brother Shi is named Qin Feng. He was also the Leader of that year’s Hidden Dragon Points Ranking and one of the peerless geniuses who rose to prominence during this Star Martial Arts Assembly!"

"My sister fell into his hands. I sent people to investigate. Over the past year, the auction houses in the City of Many Stars have sold some women from our Celestial Lion Clan, but my sister was not among them!"

"That means there’s only one possibility: she was captured by Qin Feng and is being held somewhere!"

A glint of wisdom shone in Shi Han’s beautiful eyes.

One had to admit, Shi Han was exceptionally astute. With just a few words, she had deduced the truth.

The Lion Race elder nodded. "Then, Young Miss, what is your plan?"

"Capture Qin Feng and force him to hand over my sister!" A cold light flashed in Shi Han’s eyes.

"Lately, Qin Feng’s movements have been secretive and unpredictable. But now we have an opportunity. I’ve purchased information on his whereabouts from the Spirit Treasure Sect! He has arrived in Feitian Town and appears to be preparing to head to Yunhu City!"

"The Spirit Treasure Sect?" The Lion Race elder’s eyes lit up. In certain circles, the Spirit Treasure Sect’s name was legendary.

Shi Han nodded, a chill flashing in her beautiful eyes. "Those people from the Spirit Treasure Sect are absolute profiteers. Normally, finding the whereabouts of even a Martial Dao Great Power would only cost five thousand Mid-grade Wish Power Pearls. But to find Qin Feng, they actually charged me eight thousand!"

"What? Eight thousand Mid-grade Wish Power Pearls!" The Lion Race elder was stunned. That was an astronomical price.

"They said that because Qin Feng is some big shot with a special status, the price was doubled!"

Shi Han placed the blame for all of it squarely on Qin Feng’s head.

"In that case, Young Miss, should we rush to Feitian Town immediately and capture Qin Feng?"

Shi Han shook her head. "There’s no rush."

"No rush?" The Lion Race elder looked at Shi Han, surprised.

"That’s right. This Qin Feng is unusually tricky and very difficult to deal with. Even though you are a Martial Arts Giant, Third Uncle, I’m afraid you might not be able to subdue him easily!"

"Then what should we do?" The Lion Race elder frowned, clearly a little displeased.

He refused to believe that a mere Concentrated Vein Strong Person like Qin Feng could escape from his grasp.

Noticing the elder’s expression, a faint, cold smile touched Shi Han’s beautiful face.

"Don’t be anxious, Third Uncle. We might not need to get our own hands dirty this time. Before coming here, I already passed the news of Qin Feng’s presence in Feitian Town to some of the Star Sect disciples!"

"The Star Sect is hardly a monolith. The internal strife there is incredibly fierce. You should know, Qin Feng is not without his rivals. As far as I’m aware, many people within the Star Sect would love nothing more than to see him dead!"

The Lion Race elder’s eyes lit up. "Young Miss, what a brilliant scheme! Let the Star Sect kill their own. That way, we can simply play the part of the oriole. We just need to hide in the shadows, wait for a critical moment when Qin Feng is weakened, and capture him in one fell swoop. It will be completely effortless!"

"Young Miss, you truly are the goddess of wisdom of our Celestial Lion Clan! No wonder those old geezers think so highly of you!"

"You flatter me, Third Uncle," Shi Han said, shaking her head.

Suddenly, the Lion Race elder spoke again. "But Young Miss, have you considered one thing? Qin Feng is an Inner Sect Disciple of the Star Sect, after all, and the sect strictly forbids its members from harming one another."

"Rest assured, Third Uncle. They won’t miss this golden opportunity. Qin Feng is simply too dazzling. As the saying goes, the wind will break the tree that stands tallest in the forest. Those geniuses who are jealous of him won’t let this chance slip by. Even if they don’t act personally, they have their methods. We’ll just watch and see!"

Shi Han’s beautiful eyes were calm as her crimson lips curled into a cold smile.

...

「Feitian Town, Xinglong Restaurant.」

"We have three possible routes. The first is the main highway. There’s a single official road between Feitian Town and Yunhu City that goes straight there after passing through six checkpoints: Qinglin Pass, White Bone Pass, Sishui Pass, Dashan Pass, and two others. However, this route will likely be difficult. White Bone Pass, Sishui Pass, and Dashan Pass are the turf of an old nemesis of mine. Once we enter their territory, I doubt they’ll let us pass easily."

This old nemesis was none other than Ye Ding. He is the adopted son of a powerful True Disciple whose influence in the Star Sect is deeply entrenched. That True Disciple is said to be the one most likely to inherit the position of Star Sect Leader.

Qin Feng had spent the last month making inquiries. The City Lords of White Bone Pass, Sishui Pass, and Dashan Pass were all powerful experts under that True Disciple’s command.

Qin Feng was certain that if his group entered, those City Lords would not let such an opportunity slip by.

The expressions of the Qin Family experts turned grim. They knew that competition within the Star Sect was exceptionally brutal. Given the chance, their rivals would show no mercy.

"The second route is also not an option. It’s the waterway via the Heaven-Reaching River. Never mind the Water Demons that frequently cause trouble there; the various docks we’d have to pass through are also unavoidable hotspots for Ye Ding’s forces."

At this, Qin Feng sounded a bit resigned. Only after leaving All Stars Academy did he realize just how vast Ye Ding’s influence truly was.
