Fan Jian asked with confusion, "Then where are they?"

"They are in the Lord's Mansion!" Old Monster Dong whispered.

"What?" Fan Jian's eyes widened.

Qin Feiyang's pupils also contracted sharply; he was extremely incredulous. Lin Yiyi and the others are in the Lord's Mansion? Isn't this too unbelievable? Could that mysterious War Ancestor be the Lord? Impossible! The Lord wouldn't do such a thing. But apart from the Lord, who else could hide Lin Yiyi and the others in that mansion? Could it possibly be... The Lord's ten Great Commanders?

Qin Feiyang glanced at Fan Jian, subtly giving him a hint with his eyes.

Fan Jian understood and angrily shouted at Old Monster Dong and the other man, "Have you all lost your minds? If the Lord finds out about this, we'll all be finished!"

"Sir, please calm down," Qin Feiyang said with a laugh. "Since they dare to do this, they must be confident. It's even possible that this matter is related to the Lord. If that's the case, it implies the Lord also disapproves of Qin Feiyang's actions. This is good news for us."

He and Fan Jian were playing off each other to get Old Monster Dong and his companion to reveal the identity of the mysterious War Ancestor.

But upon hearing Qin Feiyang's words, the faces of Old Monster Dong and his companion changed.

The Dong Family Head said, "Brother Fan Jian, you must never repeat this. If the Lord hears about it, we will be truly doomed."

"What do you mean?" Fan Jian shouted furiously. "Doesn't the Lord know? Then how could you dare to detain them in the Lord's Mansion?"

"Don't worry, Brother Wei. The Lord knows nothing about this," Old Monster Dong said with a laugh, a hint of triumph on his face. "And the most dangerous place is often the safest. Even if Qin Feiyang is smart, he won't expect Lin Yiyi and the others to be in the Lord's Mansion."

These people are really gutsy! Fan Jian muttered under his breath.

At the same time, he sneered inwardly. Thinking they were flawless, little did they know that Qin Feiyang was right in front of them. It seems that no matter how clever the Dong Family is, they cannot outsmart Qin Feiyang. Choosing to stand with Qin Feiyang truly was a wise decision. I can even predict just how bleak the Dong Family's future will be!

COUGH!

Qin Feiyang glanced at Fan Jian, bringing his fist up to his mouth for a dry cough.

"What's wrong?" Both Fan Jian and Old Monster Dong looked at him in puzzlement.

"It's nothing. Just a sore throat." Qin Feiyang chuckled, then directed a meaningful look at Fan Jian.

After a brief thought, Fan Jian understood. He turned his head to look at Old Monster Dong and his companion, asking, "Who is guarding them? I need to know if this person is trustworthy."

"Rest assured, Brother Wei, this person is absolutely reliable," Old Monster Dong said, his old face showing a hint of apology. "However, he asked that his identity not be revealed to anyone. So, please excuse us."

"This..." Fan Jian hesitated, undecided.

Qin Feiyang whispered, "My Lord, since Patriarch Dong has said so, I think you should stop probing. After all, we're all in the same boat now; harmony brings wealth."

The Dong Family Head laughed. "Brother Fan Jian, that's well said. Harmony indeed brings wealth."

Fan Jian nodded. "Alright, bring Lin Yiyi and Lo Qianxue here first. As for the distribution of benefits, we will discuss it after the plan succeeds."

"Alright." Old Monster Dong and his companion were overjoyed.

The Dong Family Head looked towards the door and ordered, "Go tell the Great Clan Elder to immediately go to the Lord's Mansion and bring those two women."

"Yes." One of the guards responded respectfully and hurriedly left.

"Come, Brother Wei, let's have some tea while we wait," Old Monster Dong called cheerfully.

Fan Jian nodded.

Old Monster Dong returned to his seat, picked up his teacup, and took a few sips. He was about to say something when he suddenly looked at Fan Jian with surprise.

"Hm?" Qin Feiyang noticed instantly, a chill running down his spine.

Old Monster Dong asked, "Brother Wei, your aura seems a bit stronger than last time."

Even though his cultivation is now ruined, he was a one-star War Ancestor, after all, and his powers of observation remained. However, the atmosphere had been somewhat awkward before, so he didn't notice until now.

But when he heard Old Monster Dong's question, Qin Feiyang inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. I had predicted this might be noticed, so I already instructed Fan Jian on how to respond.

Fan Jian laughed. "Not long ago, I broke through to Nine-Star War Emperor."

"Really?" Old Monster Dong and the Dong Family Head were doubtful.

Fan Jian nodded.

"That's truly something to celebrate!" the Dong Family Head advised, his face full of deep resentment. "With this, our collective strength is undoubtedly even stronger. But, Brother Wei, you can't be careless. Qin Feiyang and Rogue Wolf are not to be trifled with; I am the best living example of that."

If it weren't for the Wolf King and Yan Nanshan crippling me and the Patriarch, how could the Dong Family have fallen into such a state? This hatred is irreconcilable!

"I will be careful," Fan Jian nodded solemnly.

Patriarch Dong set down his teacup and cupped his hands. "Brother Wei, I have a presumptuous request."

Fan Jian laughed. "Speak freely."

Patriarch Dong said, "Could you give us a few Potential Elixirs first?"

Fan Jian immediately knit his brows.

"Brother Wei, to be honest, our Dong Family has a young genius with excellent talent, currently a Nine-Star War Emperor," Patriarch Dong stated. "I want the Potential Elixirs to help him succeed."

The Dong Family's current situation was rather unfavorable; they urgently needed to cultivate a War Ancestor. A family required a War Ancestor overseeing things to truly establish a foothold in the State City. And right now, the Potential Elixir was undoubtedly the fastest method.

Fan Jian thought for a moment and asked, "Are you talking about your eldest grandson, Dong Zhengyang?"

"Yes, it's him." Patriarch Dong nodded. Once the Door of Potential is opened, given Dong Zhengyang's talent, it won't be long before he can become a War Ancestor.

"Dong Zhengyang..." Qin Feiyang murmured. It seems that when I return to the Inner Hall, I'll have to inquire more about this person.

His eyes twinkled as he looked at Fan Jian and laughed. "Sir, allow me to say something. Since you and the Dong Family are partners, you should certainly share any benefits."

"Indeed." Fan Jian took out a jade box, retrieved five Potential Elixirs, and tossed them to Old Monster Dong and Patriarch Dong, his eyes full of reluctance. This is a staggering fortune! If these were my elixirs, I would die before giving them to the Dong Family!

Master Lu and the Lord of the Lu Family, however, were ecstatic and hurriedly grabbed the elixirs.

SWOOSH!

Just then, a powerful pressure descended out of thin air, followed immediately by the appearance of three figures.

One of them was the Great Clan Elder, and next to him were two women. One was a middle-aged woman, but the years hadn't left many traces on her face; her charm remained. The young woman beside her, no more than twenty years old, had skin fairer than snow, shoulder-length hair, and features so exquisite they seemed a divine masterpiece.

At this moment, they were both restrained by the Great Clan Elder's pressure, their gazes as cold as ice as they looked at Qin Feiyang and the others in the main hall.

When Qin Feiyang saw them, a surge of killing intent momentarily flashed deep in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it. Because these two are Lo Qianxue and Lin Yiyi!

Furthermore, both of them were now quite disheveled; not only were their eyes unfocused and their faces haggard, but there was also a streak of undried blood at the corners of their mouths.

Old Monster Dong glanced at the two women, then looked at Fan Jian and chuckled. "Brother Wei, I've brought the people. You must keep a good eye on them."

Fan Jian laughed heartily. "Rest assured!"

The Dong Family Head asked, "Brother Wei, after Qin Feiyang has seen them, how do you plan on handling them?"

Fan Jian laughed. "It depends on the circumstances. If Qin Feiyang tries to play any tricks, I'll send them to you. After all, there is nowhere safer than the Lord's Mansion."

"True." Old Monster Dong, the Dong Family Head, and the Great Clan Elder all laughed.

"Brother Feiyang..." Lin Yiyi's eyes trembled slightly as she heard their conversation. "Where is Brother Feiyang?"

"Brother?" Patriarch Dong was stunned for a moment, then teased, "It seems you and Qin Feiyang are quite close. Don't worry, you'll see him soon enough."

Lo Qianxue said, "I know Feiyang's temper well. You will all regret this." She then looked at Fan Jian and added, "Especially you, Wei Zhongyang!"

"What a joke! He can't even save himself right now, what could he possibly do to us?" Old Monster Dong and his two companions immediately burst into cold laughter.

To maintain the act, Fan Jian also put on a disdainful look towards Lo Qianxue, then got up and said, "Enough nonsense. It's time to go find Qin Feiyang for the final negotiations."

"You must tell us the results immediately!" Old Monster Dong also quickly got up.

Fan Jian nodded. "No problem. But I'm very curious, why is that person in the Lord's Mansion helping us?"

Old Monster Dong smiled. "He and I have a very good relationship."

"Oh!" Fan Jian feigned sudden realization. Fearing he might expose himself, he didn't press further. He opened a portal and, without looking back, said to Qin Feiyang, "Take them. Let's go!"

"Yes!" Qin Feiyang answered respectfully. He walked over to Lin Yiyi and Lo Qianxue, grabbed an arm of each, and said coldly, "You'd better cooperate, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

With that, he dragged the two women towards the portal.

Once Qin Feiyang and the others had left, a vicious light immediately flashed in Old Monster Dong's aged eyes.

The Dong Family Head said grimly, "Ancestor, this Wei Zhongyang is too arrogant. We need to teach him a lesson."

"Don't worry," Old Monster Dong sneered. "Once we get the Elixir Formula for the Potential Elixir, not only will Qin Feiyang and Rogue Wolf die, but Wei Zhongyang will also lose his life. Because 'He' won't allow anyone to compete with him for the Elixir Formula!"

The Dong Family Head and the Great Clan Elder also revealed chilling killing intent.

「Outside the city!」

Four figures appeared out of thin air over a dense forest. It was Qin Feiyang and the others.

"Down we go!" Qin Feiyang scanned the ground below, and with a wave of his hand, led Lo Qianxue and Lin Yiyi into the forest below, landing on a black rock.

Then, Qin Feiyang released Lin Yiyi and Lo Qianxue. He stood opposite them, observing them with slightly knitted eyebrows.

Fan Jian stood quietly behind Qin Feiyang, silently watching.

"What's the matter?" Lo Qianxue frowned and said coldly, "Did you bring us to this wilderness to kill us and silence us?"

Qin Feiyang didn't answer, just continued to stare at them.
