Immortal God of War

Chapter 1174 - 1109: Masked Shadow!

One had to know.

Flames like the Iceflame and these pill fires were the key to opening the Divine Sign—how unimaginably precious were they?

Yet back then, the mysterious lady had given them to him without even batting an eye.

And there were the perfect combat manuals.

The number of perfect combat manuals the mysterious lady had gifted them already exceeded ten.

Especially this Concealment Technique.

If he wasn’t mistaken, the Concealment Technique should also have been something the mysterious lady had the young lady of the Dragon Phoenix Building bring to him.

The Concealment Technique might not be a Divine Art, but in terms of practicality, it was already enough to rival one.

Even such a precious combat manual, she’d been willing to give him, yet now she was racking her brains to obtain the Five-Colored Crystal Stone.

Obviously.

This Five-Colored Crystal Stone was more valuable than anything else.

But what exactly was its value?

Qin Feiyang couldn’t figure it out.

Time trickled by.

On this day, for Qin Feiyang, every moment felt like a year.

Finally!

Dawn was approaching!

"Success or failure hinges on this!"

Qin Feiyang looked out the window at the moonlight; a hint of firm resolve flashed in his eyes as he decisively opened a portal.

Then he activated the Concealment Technique and stepped into the portal.

The next instant.

He descended just outside the Tower Master’s courtyard.

A waning moon hung high; the night was hazy.

Inside the courtyard, Qin Feiyang did not see the Tower Master’s figure, but from a window on the second floor of the attic, a faint candlelight leaked out.

Qin Feiyang rose into the air and flew to that window.

The window was half open, half closed.

Through it, he could clearly see the Tower Master sitting at his desk, an ancient book in hand, quietly reading, his whole person exuding an air of scholarly elegance.

Looking at this scene, probably no one would imagine that such a gentle, refined gentleman would actually be a selfish, despicable petty man, right!

"It’s already almost dawn—why is there still no movement?"

Qin Feiyang glanced at the moon, his brows involuntarily knitting together.

The invisibility state of the Concealment Technique could only last for an hour; once time was up, even if the Tower Master took out the Five-Colored Crystal Stone, he wouldn’t be able to snatch it.

"Right."

"Where’s the Spirit Snake Emperor?"

Qin Feiyang scanned the courtyard. Where was that guy hiding now?

If something unexpected happened later, it might get dragged in, so he had to find it first.

But.

He and the Spirit Snake Emperor were both in a hidden state; they couldn’t see each other—how was he supposed to find it?

Suddenly!

His eyes lit up.

If the Spirit Snake Emperor really had been sticking to the Tower Master and watching him without taking a step away, then right now it should be...

Qin Feiyang looked at the window!

The window was the best spot to monitor the Tower Master.

On the windowsill sat four potted plants, lush and verdant, brimming with vitality.

Sure enough!

After Qin Feiyang carefully observed them, he discovered the Spirit Snake Emperor amidst the green leaves of one of the pots.

He saw that the Spirit Snake Emperor had shrunk to the thickness of a strand of hair, its skin blended perfectly with the leaves; if one wasn’t deliberately searching for it, they’d never find it.

Qin Feiyang carefully reached out and grabbed the Spirit Snake Emperor.

The sudden change gave the Spirit Snake Emperor a fright; it thought its whereabouts had been exposed.

"Shh, it’s me!"

Qin Feiyang hurriedly transmitted his voice.

The Spirit Snake Emperor froze, then glared at Qin Feiyang and cursed in the dark: "You scared me half to death."

Qin Feiyang teased, "When did your guts become this small?"

"Nonsense!"

"Look where we are right now, will you?"

The Spirit Snake Emperor shot him a glare and asked in a low voice, "What did you suddenly run over here for?"

Qin Feiyang said secretly, "Something might happen in a bit."

"What kind of ’something’?"

The Spirit Snake Emperor was startled and suspicious.

"I’m not sure either."

Qin Feiyang shook his head.

"You’re not sure and you still came running?"

The Spirit Snake Emperor was rather speechless.

Bang!

But before the words had even fallen, a terrifying imperial might suddenly descended over the courtyard.

"Hm?"

Qin Feiyang’s heart gave a jolt. He quickly withdrew from the courtyard with the Spirit Snake Emperor, hiding behind a big tree and looking upward.

Right away!

He saw a black figure standing above the courtyard. Through the hazy moonlight one could vaguely make out a black mask on the figure’s face, concealing its true appearance.

"Who goes there!"

Almost at the same moment, the Tower Master’s shout rang out from within the attic. With a flash of radiance, the Tower Master suddenly appeared in midair above the courtyard, standing opposite the black figure.

"Hand over the Divine Crystal!"

The black figure spoke coldly, like the voice of death itself, without a shred of emotion.

"Divine Crystal!"

At those two words, the Tower Master’s gaze trembled. He barked, "Who are you? How do you know about the Divine Crystal?"

Bang!

The black figure gave no further reply, striking out directly with a punch at the Tower Master. Battle Intent surged, shaking the heavens!

"Who dares run wild in the General Tower?"

A furious roar resounded, shaking the sky and earth.

Immediately after.

Streams of light shot up into the heavens from every corner of the holy land, each one emanating an incomparably powerful aura.

There was Gongsun Bei!

There was the Mu Family’s Second Grandfather, Liu Xingfeng!

There were Wang Youer’s parents.

And Wang Su!

In short, every powerhouse of the holy land was, at this moment, rushing toward the Tower Master’s courtyard. Their terrifying might shook the firmament!

"Damn, that’s at least a thousand War Emperor auras!"

The Spirit Snake Emperor’s pupils contracted, full of dread.

"The foundation of the General Tower really can’t be underestimated. No wonder even the Mu Family doesn’t dare openly go against them."

Qin Feiyang muttered; this was also his first time witnessing the General Tower’s true strength.

At the same time!

Seeing that the black shadow actually made a move at the General Tower, the Tower Master also flared up in fury.

His whole aura changed in an instant!

If he had been a gentle, refined gentleman before, then now he was a true sovereign ruling over the world!

Boom!

Divine light burst from his eyes, dazzling like two full moons. He did not dodge in the slightest, and slapped a palm toward the black shadow.

In that instant.

As their palms met, a world‑destroying shockwave surged out from the two of them as the center, rolling in all directions.

The courtyard below turned to dust in the blink of an eye!

"Not good!"

Qin Feiyang’s expression changed. He hurriedly brought the Ghost Snake Emperor into the ancient castle.

Just as the two of them stepped into the ancient castle, the shockwave came roaring in right behind them.

Wherever it passed, everything was as insignificant as ants, unable to withstand a single blow, turning into flying ash!

Fortunately, no one lived near the General Tower Master’s residence, or that single strike alone would have been enough to kill anyone!

At the same moment!

The General Tower Master and the black shadow both staggered back several steps, a trace of blood trickling from the corners of their mouths.

Lowering his head to glance at the devastated ground below, the General Tower Master’s gaze sank. He looked up at the black shadow and said in a deep voice, "Nine-Star War Emperor, just who are you?"

"Cut the crap, I want the God Crystal!"

The black shadow shouted, his words like blades, clanging and forceful, incomparably sharp.

"The God Crystal is something you’re qualified to covet?"

The General Tower Master’s body trembled as a vast might burst out of him.

And within this oppressive aura, there was actually a terrifying divine might!

The black shadow’s pupils constricted. He turned around without the slightest hesitation and vanished into the sky!

His speed was extremely fast; in the blink of an eye, he was gone without a trace.

"What’s going on?"

"Why does his aura contain divine might? Could it be that he has already broken through to the Pseudo God realm?"

Qin Feiyang and the Ghost Snake Emperor walked out of the ancient castle. Sensing the aura emanating from the General Tower Master, a look of sheer terror immediately climbed into the Ghost Snake Emperor’s eyes.

"No."

"He hasn’t broken through to the Pseudo God realm yet. He should have mastered some kind of Divine Art."

Qin Feiyang murmured.

"A Divine Art!"

The Ghost Snake Emperor’s gaze trembled.

No wonder that black shadow turned and fled so decisively.

Whoosh!!

At this moment.

Gongsun Bei and the others tore through the sky and landed in front of the General Tower Master, all wearing expressions of concern.

The General Tower Master said in a deep voice, "I’m fine. Gongsun Bei and Wang Su stay. The rest of you, immediately take people and seal off the Divine City. Check if there are any suspicious individuals!"

"Yes."

The Holy Peak’s Peak Master and the others replied respectfully, then opened portals one after another and left.

Gongsun Bei frowned and said, "My lord, who was it?"

The General Tower Master withdrew his aura and lowered his voice. "I didn’t see clearly either. His aura was also very unfamiliar, but he came for the God Crystal!"

"What?"

Gongsun Bei and Wang Su paled in shock.

"The God Crystal?"

The Ghost Snake Emperor was stunned and asked secretly, "Could the God Crystal be that five-colored Crystal Stone?"

"It’s possible."

Qin Feiyang nodded.

Once Wang Su recovered, he looked at the General Tower Master in shock and suspicion and said, "The only ones who know about the God Crystal’s existence are the people at the very top of our General Tower. Could this person actually be someone from within our General Tower?"

Gongsun Bei and the General Tower Master exchanged a look, then immediately lowered their heads, their brows tightly knitted.

A flash of cold light passed through the General Tower Master’s eyes. He looked up at Wang Su and Gongsun Bei and said, "Go investigate right away. See if anyone left earlier!"

"Alright."

The two nodded and turned, shooting toward the deeper part of the holy land.

The General Tower Master also shifted in midair and flew off in another direction.

Qin Feiyang also immediately rose into the air, silently tailing after the General Tower Master.

If he wasn’t mistaken, that black shadow was definitely arranged by the Miss of the Dragon Phoenix Building.

But he really couldn’t understand this kind of arrangement.

Because this was equivalent to beating the grass to startle the snake.

Following all the way behind the General Tower Master, before long a courtyard entered Qin Feiyang’s vision.

The courtyard wasn’t large and looked a bit old, but it was very clean.

This was another residence of the General Tower Master.

The General Tower Master landed in the courtyard, walked straight into the pavilion, and closed the door behind him.

Qin Feiyang also brought the Ghost Snake Emperor down in front of the pavilion door. Through the narrow crack of the door, he peered inside.

But the crack was too small. He could only see a tiny bit of the main hall inside and couldn’t see the General Tower Master.

"No, I have to think of a way to get in."

Qin Feiyang retreated a few steps and looked up, scanning the pavilion.

Suddenly.

His gaze locked onto the balcony on the second floor. The door on the balcony was open at this moment.

Swish!

Without any hesitation.

He leapt up and landed on the balcony.

"Don’t make a sound!"

Letting out a long breath, Qin Feiyang secretly reminded the Ghost Snake Emperor, then glided forward without a sound, entering the pavilion and following the stairs down to the main hall on the first floor.

Right then!

He saw the General Tower Master sitting beside a tea table, his expression gloomy and uncertain.

"What is he thinking?"

The Ghost Snake Emperor wondered secretly.

"Don’t talk, just watch."

Qin Feiyang glared at it.

Time passed bit by bit.

Suddenly!

The motionless General Tower Master raised his arm. With a flip of his hand, a multicolored Crystal Stone appeared.

"That’s it!"

The Ghost Snake Emperor immediately grew excited.

Qin Feiyang’s eyes also shone brilliantly.

But then.

His expression froze for a moment, then the corner of his mouth lifted slightly as he transmitted his voice, "I understand now."

"Understand what?"

The Ghost Snake Emperor was puzzled.
