Immortal God of War

"Are we going?"

Luk Zheng glanced at Qin Feiyang and asked through sound transmission.

"When I was young, I really wanted to meet this legendary figure, but unfortunately, I thought he was dead at the time."

"Now that I have this opportunity, of course, I want to take a look."

"Besides, I also want to know what his attitude will be when he sees me."

Qin Feiyang thought to himself, with a hint of complexity in his eyes.

"Then be careful."

Luk Zheng reminded.

Qin Feiyang nodded, grabbed the red-clothed elderly man, left the ancient castle, and then opened a teleportation portal, directly descending above the entrance to the imperial palace's back mountain.

The entrance was heavily guarded by the Kylin army.

"Qin Feiyang!"

Upon seeing Qin Feiyang appear, the Kylin army turned pale and became as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Those who block the way shall die!"

Qin Feiyang said coldly, glancing at them, and then openly walked past them. Following the guidance of the red-clothed elderly man, he flew deeper into the back mountain of the imperial palace.

None of the Kylin army dared to stop him.

However.

After Qin Feiyang disappeared, they immediately passed the news along.

"What?"

"What is he doing in the back mountain?"

The State Preceptor received the news, his old face full of surprise and doubt.

At the same time.

Elder Qin and the Kylin army commander were also filled with confusion.

...

Before long.

Qin Feiyang arrived in front of a black fog.

The black fog enveloped the mountains and land in all directions.

The area covered by the black fog had no beasts or plants, barren and desolate, resembling a death zone!

Although Qin Feiyang rarely entered the deep part of the imperial palace's back mountain, this place, and these black fog, were not unfamiliar to him.

This black fog, called the Devour Soul Fog, contained a strong penetrating force, easily infiltrating the Sea of Consciousness of living beings and eroding their souls!

And the fearsome Shen Prison was located right within here!

Qin Feiyang surveyed the Devour Soul Fog and frowned, "Did you bring me to the wrong place?"

This Devour Soul Fog at least required a Nine-Star War Emperor to withstand.

"What do you mean?"

The red-clothed elderly man was puzzled.

"This is clearly the location of the Shen Prison, and you brought me here. Don't tell me, Emperor Hong is now in the Shen Prison?"

Qin Feiyang said.

"He's not in the Shen Prison."

"But to reach Emperor Hong's residence, you must pass through here because Emperor Hong lives behind the Shen Prison."

The red-clothed elderly man hurriedly explained, afraid that Qin Feiyang might misunderstand his intentions.

Qin Feiyang said, "Then take out the token!"

Passing through the Devour Soul Fog required a token.

This token could release a golden barrier to isolate the Devour Soul Fog.

The Kylin army commander had one.

When rescuing his mother, it was the Kylin army commander who led him into the Shen Prison.

"I don't have it."

The red-clothed elderly man shook his head.

"You don't have it?"

Qin Feiyang raised his eyebrow.

The red-clothed elderly man quickly said, "With my cultivation, I can completely ignore this Devour Soul Fog, so how would I have a token?"

"Makes sense."

Qin Feiyang nodded.

The red-clothed elderly man said, "How about resting here for a while? I can take you through after I recover my Qi Sea."

"Is that necessary?"

Qin Feiyang sneered. Now, he was surrounded by Nine-Star War Emperors and Nine-Star Emperor Beasts.

What's more.

Now the ancient castle could move, even without a token and the help of Nine-Star War Emperors, he could freely traverse within the Devour Soul Fog.

Qin Feiyang took the red-clothed elderly man into the ancient castle, then maneuvered the ancient castle directly through.

Soon.

He saw the Shen Prison.

The Shen Prison sat on a mountain peak, as always, resembling an Ancient Giant Beast, exuding a chilling aura.

In front of the Shen Prison were two black-robed individuals standing guard.

They sat like statues, motionless, emitting an extremely terrifying aura.

Of course.

Their status was not simple.

Even back then, the Kylin army commander would respectfully address them as 'ancestor.'

However, at this moment.

The ancient castle passed beside the Shen Prison and they did not notice.

After brushing past the Shen Prison, the ancient castle continued deeper.

About a hundred breaths later.

The ancient castle finally emerged from the area covered by the Devour Soul Fog, revealing a vibrant mountain landscape.

Mountains and forests were lush with greenery, wildflowers in full bloom, while clear rivers flowed like dragons, piercing from east to west, north to south.

Moreover.

There were also many fierce beasts here.

Each beast had reached the War Emperor Realm.

But they were very calm, quietly cultivating, making this place appear exceptionally peaceful, like a paradise.

"I didn't expect there to be such a tranquil place hidden in the imperial palace's back mountain."

Qin Feiyang, with the red-clothed elderly man, appeared in the sky above a ridge, surveying the mountains below, his expression quite surprised.

The beasts in the mountain stream also noticed Qin Feiyang.

But!

Not a single beast caused trouble for Qin Feiyang; they only curiously observed him.

"Where to now?"

Qin Feiyang withdrew his gaze and looked at the red-clothed elderly man, asking.

"Keep going forward for about twenty miles, and you'll see a giant peak, that's where Emperor Hong is."

The red-clothed elderly man said.

Qin Feiyang waved his hand, and with the red-clad elder, he quickly sliced through the sky. It wasn't long before he saw the giant peak the elder mentioned.

The peak rose over a thousand feet, shrouded in mist, with auspicious beasts frolicking. A waterfall cascaded from the summit, pooling into a lake at the base.

The lake spanned hundreds of feet, its surface rippling.

A multitude of colorful fish happily swam in the lake.

All around the lake, the greenery flourished.

Lotus leaves stood elegantly, and the lotus flowers bloomed in rivalry or awaited their time, resembling maidens in their boudoir.

An inconspicuous courtyard quietly settled by the lakeside.

Despite its size, the courtyard was old.

A neat row of wooden fences encircled the surroundings.

Inside were vegetable gardens, flower beds, pavilions, streams, and a small two-story wooden building…

The place exuded a rustic and tranquil charm.

Amidst this tranquility, a white-haired elder sat alone by the lake. Before him was a stone table, meticulously set with a teapot and a teacup.

The teacup was filled with tea, its fragrance irresistible.

The elder held another teacup in his hand.

He leisurely savored the tea while admiring the lake's beauty, immensely at ease.

"He is Emperor Hong."

The red-clad elder pointed at the white-haired elder, speaking to Qin Feiyang with a respectful demeanor.

Qin Feiyang looked up at the white-haired elder.

With the elder's back turned, Qin Feiyang could not see his face.

Yet, through the elder's silhouette, Qin Feiyang sensed a transcendent aura, akin to a deity from beyond.

"Come here!"

Suddenly.

The elder's voice resonated, with no hint of force, gentle and pleasing to the ear.

Qin Feiyang took a deep breath and strode over.

The lake rippled as several small red koi leaped from the water, as if welcoming Qin Feiyang, before diving back and creating splashes.

Qin Feiyang reached the elder's side.

The elder smiled and said, "The tea is prepared for you; sit."

Qin Feiyang glanced at the teacup on the stone table, tossing the red-clad elder aside, then moved opposite the elder and sat on the stone stool.

Immediately.

The elder's face entered Qin Feiyang's view.

It was a very kind face.

Though marked by the passage of time, the elder's eyes were bright, devoid of any aggressive demeanor, peaceful, exuding an approachable warmth.

Qin Feiyang lifted the teacup, smelled its aroma, but did not drink, putting it down without further glance at the elder, turning to the clear lake waters.

Emperor Hong remained silent, quietly sipping tea.

The red-clad elder climbed up, glared venomously at Qin Feiyang, then ran to Emperor Hong's side, appealing, "Master, you must stand up for me!"

"What's the matter?"

Emperor Hong inquired with a smile.

"I kindly came to invite him over, yet he didn't appreciate it, letting his subordinates and ferocious beasts humiliate me."

"Look, the injuries on me were caused by them."

"They even crippled my Qi Sea."

The red-clad elder complained.

Emperor Hong glanced at the red-clad elder, shook his head, and laughed, "To escape with your life is already fortunate. What more do you want? Step back!"

"I…"

The red-clad elder wished to say more.

Emperor Hong waved his hand.

The elder saw this and felt a wave of helplessness, turning with his resentment, disappearing into the courtyard's wooden building.

Emperor Hong glanced at Qin Feiyang, continuing his tea.

"Alas!"

After an unknown stretch of time.

Qin Feiyang sighed gently, turned to Emperor Hong, and said, "Should I call you Emperor Hong, or Great-grandpa?"

"Great-grandpa?"

Inside the castle!

Upon hearing Qin Feiyang's words, both the White-Eyed Wolf and the beasts, as well as Lu Hong and Wang Yangfeng, were all dumbfounded.

Outside.

Emperor Hong heard this, placed down his teacup, paused in silence, then laughed, "Call me whatever you like, even if you call me old man, I won't mind."

"Luk Zheng, what is going on?"

"How did Emperor Hong become Xiao Qinzi's great-grandfather?"

Inside the castle.

The White-Eyed Wolf looked at Luk Zheng with skepticism.

Wang Yangfeng and others also stared at Luk Zheng, filled with doubt.

"Alas!"

Luk Zheng deeply sighed, said, "Emperor Hong is indeed the great-grandfather of my little cousin, and Emperor Hong has two other identities."

"What identities?"

The White-Eyed Wolf inquired.

"The biological son of the late emperor, the second emperor of the Great Qin Empire."

Luk Zheng stated.

"What?"

Everyone's expression changed.

The biological son of the late emperor?

The second ruler of the Great Qin Empire?

Heavens!

The identity of this old man is truly terrifying!

No wonder both the State Preceptor and Elder Qin are so respectful to Emperor Hong.

By the lake!

Qin Feiyang quietly watched Emperor Hong, then shook his head with a faint smile, saying, "As someone expelled from the imperial palace, how am I qualified to call you Great-grandpa? Better to call you Emperor Hong to avoid being criticized for claiming relations."

"Your happiness is what matters."

Emperor Hong smiled.

Without any reluctance, it seemed to him that Qin Feiyang was truly not a descendant of the Qin Clan.

Qin Feiyang chuckled wryly.

Initially, he thought that upon hearing his words, Emperor Hong would show a hint of regret, but none appeared. He felt very disappointed.

In truth.

Although Qin Feiyang detested the imperial family, he did not hate everyone.

As for Emperor Hong, he not only didn't hate him but rather longed for Emperor Hong's affection.
