Chapter 1376 - 1309: Overwhelmed by Favor!

Inside the canyon.

The beasts were bizarre and lifelike.

Some were lying on the ground, dozing.

Some were looking over all directions, majestic and impressive.

It was completely unclear which one was real and which one was fake.

"What is going on?"

"Is this all the people inside the castle?"

At the same time.

Gongsun Bei was surveying the pit viper, Wealthy Elixir King, Xiao Jie, and the group of fierce beasts, his eyes full of suspicion.

Is this Qin Feiyang's background?

He had assumed that when Qin Feiyang showed such arrogance in front of the General Tower Master back then, the castle surely hid a host of strongmen.

Yet unexpectedly, there were only these few people?

And their strength wasn't that impressive.

In other words.

Aside from the two Nine-Star Emperor Beasts, Seahorse and Seal, Qin Feiyang had no strongmen by his side.

This kid has been putting on a sham all along!

"But..."

"He sure acted convincingly."

"Even I and the General Tower Master were fooled by him."

Gongsun Bei muttered secretly, the corner of his mouth curled in a self-deprecating smile.

However, he didn't know, Qin Feiyang's true assets weren't in the castle, but rather in the ancient tower.

"Wait!"

Gongsun Bei suddenly looked towards the pit viper and Wealthy Elixir King.

Both the pit viper had their backs to Gongsun Bei, but their silhouettes felt familiar to him.

Gongsun Bei suspiciously asked, "Have I met you two somewhere before?"

Qin Feiyang inconspicuously raised his eyebrow.

This was exactly what he worried about.

If Gongsun Bei recognized the Wealthy Elixir King and pit viper, it would definitely mean Wang Zicheng and others were lying.

Currently, Wang Zicheng and others were all at the General Tower as his informants, and they couldn't be suspected by Gongsun Bei.

It's precisely to ensure Wang Zicheng and others' safety that even though this journey was fraught with hazards, he didn't bring Gongsun Bei into the castle.

"Have we met before?"

The Wealthy Elixir King suddenly spoke, but his voice was hoarse.

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Gongsun Bei.

But when he saw Wealthy Elixir King's current appearance, Qin Feiyang's eyes flashed with a smile.

It was an extremely old face, furrowed with dry wrinkles.

He then looked towards the pit viper.

The pit viper also turned his head, and his appearance had changed as well, to that of a sickly middle-aged man.

"You've changed your appearance so quickly, quite clever indeed."

Qin Feiyang thought with a hidden smile.

"Naturally."

"Adaptability is the specialty of the Qinghai Ten Elites."

The pit viper smiled proudly in secret, then looked at Gongsun Bei, doubtfully asking, "Are you sure we've really met?"

Gongsun Bei looked at the two and smiled bitterly, clasping his hands, "I mistook you two for someone else, sorry."

The two exchanged smiles in secret, turned around, and continued cultivating with closed eyes.

Qin Feiyang also turned around, watching the situation in the canyon while flying towards the canyon's end.

The canyon wasn't wide, but very long, like a giant python, winding and stretching to the horizon's end.

After a few hundred breaths passed.

The castle traversed the canyon and finally reached the end.

The scenery was still a sea of clouds swirling, mist shrouded, like a fairyland.

And suspended in the sky above the sea of clouds a dozen miles ahead was a huge object!

"What is that thing?"

"An illusion?"

Luk Zheng looked in shock at the giant thing.

Qin Feiyang was equally incredulous.

It was actually a city!

The city was enormous, the diameter probably spanned several hundred miles!

Inside the city, there were magnificent buildings, wide streets, rolling mountains, and various flying divine beasts soaring above the city.

It was like a continent floating in the void, every brick and tile, plant and tree exuded a mysterious color.

"What you're seeing now is not illusion, that city is the Mu Family's lair!"

Gongsun Bei stared at the city, his eyes glistening.

"I truly didn't expect they lived in such a place."

Qin Feiyang murmured.

How is this place any different from a fairyland?

Mist swirling, divine beasts soaring.

These people really know how to enjoy themselves.

Gongsun Bei said, "Although we found the place, there's still one problem."

"What problem?"

Qin Feiyang asked, puzzled.

"The Mu Family has set an invisible divine barrier around the city, to enter the city, one must find a way to pass through this barrier."

Gongsun Bei said.

"A divine barrier?"

Qin Feiyang's heart tightened, scanning the void in front of the city.

"Haven't you been here before?"

"You should know how to break this barrier, right?"

Luk Zheng looked at Gongsun Bei and asked.

"See that person?"

Gongsun Bei pointed to a spot on the city's edge.

Following his gaze, Qin Feiyang saw a stone pillar more than ten meters high, on top of which sat an elderly man with black hair dressed in a cyan robe, meditating.

Gongsun Bei said, "His name is Mu Yuan, the first steward of the Mu Family, responsible for guarding the divine barrier; anyone wanting to enter the city must pass through him."

"First steward?"

"So isn't he a relic of the past?"

Luk Zheng said.

"Yes."

"When the Mu Family first came to the Forgotten Continent, he was already here."

"Although his position is just the Mu Family's steward, his prestige in the Mu Family is extremely high."

"Even successive Family Heads treat him quite respectfully."

"Moreover, his cultivation is also extremely terrifying, at the pinnacle of the Nine-Star War Emperor!"

"When I first infiltrated here, it was almost discovered by him."

Gongsun Bei said solemnly.

"The pinnacle of the Nine-Star War Emperor."

"That's indeed a troublesome adversary."

Qin Feiyang whispered, suddenly turning to look at Gongsun Bei, and said, "Mu Family's precautions are so strict, yet you still managed to sneak in silently. I'm really curious, how did you do it?"

"Everyone has secrets they don't want to reveal, so why force it?"

Gongsun Bei laughed heartily.

"I was indeed impolite."

Qin Feiyang smiled apologetically, turning to look at the image of Mu Yuan, his gaze flickering.

Suddenly!

He turned to look at Viper and laughed, "It seems that to enter the city, you must take the lead."

Viper hesitated, then stood up and said, "Young Master, just command me."

Qin Feiyang said, "Your cultivation is the same as Mu Xing and Mu Sheng, both are Three-Star War Emperors. Disguise yourself as one of them and blend in."

"Alright."

Viper nodded, swallowed a Shape-shifting Pill, and disguised as Mu Xing's appearance, then found clothing similar to Mu Xing's and put it on.

"This plan won't work."

But at this moment.

Gongsun Bei shook his head.

"Why?"

Qin Feiyang asked suspiciously.

"Because Mu Yuan is extremely cautious. Even if the General Tower Master visits or Mu Family members return from errands, they must use the Eye of Heaven Stone to verify identity."

Gongsun Bei replied.

Qin Feiyang couldn't help but feel angry.

There are already three layers of illusions outside, is it necessary to be so cautious?

"You could say, for ten thousand years, the Mu Family's lair has never been discovered, all thanks to Mu Yuan."

Gongsun Bei sighed.

"This is really a tricky issue."

Qin Feiyang rubbed his forehead.

If it weren't for the Divine Power barrier, it wouldn't matter. He could easily sneak in.

But now, even the castle can't be used, what should be done?

Luk Zheng's eyes flickered, suddenly saying, "I think now we can only make a risky move."

"What risky move?"

Qin Feiyang and Gongsun Bei looked at him suspiciously.

Luk Zheng pointed at Viper and said, "He uses Mu Xing's identity, to tell Mu Yuan that Mu Dahui has disappeared."

"Hm?"

Qin Feiyang paused and nodded, "This method is feasible."

Immediately.

He looked at the puzzled Viper and others, and said, "Think about it, when Mu Yuan learns that Mu Dahui is missing, what will he do?"

Viper thought for a moment and said, "He will definitely be shocked and immediately go to the peak to check."

"Exactly!"

"In such a case, his first thought is to check the situation, rather than verify your identity."

"And to go to the peak, he must first activate the Divine Power barrier, which is my chance to maneuver the castle and sneak into the city."

"However, this brings a big problem."

Qin Feiyang frowned deeply.

"What problem?"

Viper asked.

"Leaving the city becomes another trouble."

"Moreover, during the time we enter the city, you can't leave with us."

"Because when Mu Yuan confirms Mu Dahui's disappearance, he will definitely question you."

"And if he can't find you, he'll surely be suspicious."

"So, this is very dangerous for you."

Qin Feiyang said solemnly.

Viper pondered for a while, gritted his teeth, and said, "I'm not afraid, I believe I can handle it."

"Are you sure?"

Qin Feiyang frowned.

Viper hadn't been with him as long as White-Eyed Wolf and Fatty, but he already considered Viper family.

Honestly.

He really didn't want Viper to risk his life.

"I'm sure."

Viper nodded.

"Alright."

"Be careful."

"Also, I'll give Blue Snow to you, it will surely help at critical moments."

Qin Feiyang finished speaking and handed Blue Snow to Viper.

"This..."

Viper was stunned.

Having followed Qin Feiyang for so long, he naturally knew how important Blue Snow was to him and that he never gave it to anyone.

Yet now, he's handing it over to him?

After coming to his senses, he quickly waved and said, "Young Master, this is not acceptable, Blue Snow is the only thing your mother left you. I'm afraid..."

Before he could finish, Qin Feiyang laughed, "Afraid you'll lose it?"

Viper didn't deny it.

"If you're afraid, then live well, and hand it back to me personally when we meet again."

Qin Feiyang laughed.

"I..."

Viper felt very honored.

If Qin Feiyang handed Blue Snow to him, it means he trusts him completely.

But Blue Snow is too important, he's afraid he won't be able to bear Qin Feiyang's trust.

"Just take it, don't dilly-dally. If I hadn't broken through to the Four-Star War Emperor, you wouldn't even have the chance."

Wealthy Elixir King scoffed.

Since the time rule inside the castle changed, Wealthy Elixir King and Viper had been cultivating, causing their cultivation to change dramatically.

"Whew!"

Viper glanced at Wealthy Elixir King, took a deep breath, knelt on one knee, and earnestly said, "Young Master, rest assured, I'll protect Blue Snow with my life."

Qin Feiyang shook his head with a smile and then controlled the castle to return the way they came.

Because if he sent Viper out right here, Mu Yuan would surely be suspicious if he saw it, so they must go to the canyon's entrance.
