Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming - Chapter 908 - 902: Treacherous Schemes and Reversal Killing
“Haha, Palace Master Qin, please, please, come in quickly!”
At this moment, Demon Lord Huoxin stood at the door, his face transformed into the appearance of an honest middle-aged man, smiling as he gestured to Qin Feng.
“The Pavilion Master of this Food Pavilion loves to gather divine beings skilled in culinary arts from various realms, especially the recently recruited Wolf Granny, whose mushroom soup is unparalleled.
Even after I tasted it, I couldn’t help but visit again and again. Palace Master Qin, you’ll be able to taste it later, and I assure you, you’ll be satisfied with the flavor!”
“Oh? No wonder my subordinates have been reporting to me that you’ve been frequenting the Food Pavilion lately. So that’s the reason.”
Qin Feng showed some surprise on his face: “However, I’m quite amazed that the Food Pavilion can create dishes that even tempt you, Demon Lord Huoxin!”
But… the Wolf Granny who makes mushroom soup? Are you sure she used mushrooms in her soup?”
“Uh, well…”
Demon Lord Huoxin paused in his speech, somewhat unsure how to respond properly.
Fortunately, at this moment, laughter from Archangel Di Jia echoed inside the building: “Since Palace Master Qin has arrived, why not come upstairs for a chat?
It’s rare for Demon Lord Huoxin to invite us, and today we might as well take this opportunity to discuss some matters.
Now that the Time River is about to calm down, soon we’ll have the chance to leave the Abandoned Land. In the past, this was often when other experts tried to spy and seize our central area, so we must prepare early!”
“Di Jia, you’re all here!”
Qin Feng nodded slightly and stepped into the building.
In the hall, five tables and chairs were arranged, two were occupied by Archangel Di Jia and the Innate Fire God, one belonged to Demon Lord Huoxin, and the remaining two were undoubtedly prepared for him and Liu Xuanling.
“Come, Palace Master Qin, take the seat of honor!”
Demon Lord Huoxin cheerfully led Qin Feng to the central table.
“Is this… appropriate?”
Qin Feng turned his head in surprise, looking at Archangel Di Jia and the Innate Fire God on the left, then at the two empty tables on the right.
“Why wouldn’t it be?”
Demon Lord Huoxin laughed: “Decades ago, during that battle, if not for the timely assistance from both Palace Masters, even if we managed to survive, we would have been driven out of the gathering place by the Hundred-Handed Evil God.
Moreover, our subordinates would have suffered heavy losses, unable to reclaim our territory temporarily, thus missing the chance to leave the Abandoned Land.
Today, the fact that we can sit here peacefully is thanks in large part to both Palace Masters.
Besides, we all witnessed Palace Master Qin’s battle prowess. Now that the One-Eyed Stone Man has departed, you are undoubtedly the strongest in the entire gathering place. Who else but you could sit in the top position?”
“Indeed, Demon Lord Huoxin speaks the truth, Palace Master Qin, please take the seat of honor!”
Archangel Di Jia nodded slightly, showing no displeasure.
“In that case, I shall not be polite!”
Qin Feng smiled gently and, without further hesitation, sat directly in the central seat of honor!
“Didn’t Palace Master Liu come with you?”
Archangel Di Jia turned to look outside, somewhat surprised.
Though Qin Feng and Liu Xuanling each occupied a central area now, they usually faced matters together. Why did they come separately today?
“Oh, Senior Sister is in closed cultivation!”
Qin Feng casually replied: “Though Senior Sister Liu’s cultivation is not weak, she only reached the Half-Step Immortal Realm in the last few millennia, unlike those with deep foundations, still far from being a Super Expert.
As you all know, the Abyss is fraught with dangers, and we both benefited greatly during the chaotic battle, extracting quite a bit of Immortal Energy.
Thus, Senior Sister decided to use a portion of the Immortal Energy for cultivation, intending to enhance her war power before leaving, to avoid being overpowered by formidable Abyss Lords.”
“I see!”
Upon hearing this, Demon Lord Huoxin and other experts exchanged glances, their eyes revealing a peculiar expression.
It’s better that Liu Xuanling didn’t come. With these two separated, they cannot display that joint war skill, naturally reducing many risks.
Though thinking of the Immortal Energy being refined recklessly by Liu Xuanling, they couldn’t help but feel a heartache.
The Immortal Energy, refined from what was seized from Immortal Great Powers, isn’t easy to come by.
In fact, back then, even though the strong in the Abandoned Land killed twenty or thirty Great Powers, more of them perished. Not every surviving Super Expert managed to obtain enough Immortal Energy.
Even if they gathered enough Immortal Energy to leave the Abandoned Land, no one would consider such a treasure excessive, especially since it’s fundamental to Immortal Realm Great Power Experts. Those who haven’t advanced to derive Immortal Energy are even more focused on it.
Demon Lord Huoxin and Archangel Di Jia exchanged subtle glances, then laughed heartily: “Well, since Palace Master Liu isn’t here, we can just start our feast.”
“Aren’t we going to discuss matters first?”
Qin Feng asked in surprise.
“No rush, no rush, we can chat while eating!”
Demon Lord Huoxin laughed cheerfully: “Originally, at our level, we rarely eat, and in the Abandoned Land, everyone thinks daily about how to escape this Absolute Zone, with little thought toward enjoying delicacies.
However, now that the time tide is about to settle, and we will soon leave, missing this opportunity means unsure future meetings.
So, I’m hosting you in the Food Pavilion territory, both to invite you to savor various cuisines and to see you off!
Come, come, let’s drink a toast to all of you!”
“Haha… A toast, a toast!”
The Innate Fire God laughed upon hearing it, gulped down the fine wine, then said with a smile: “What Demon Lord Huoxin says is true. Previously, worrying daily about escaping the Abandoned Land, I hadn’t tasted worldly flavors for many years. Today, I must indulge heartily.
Since after we leave, we must first face the mighty Abyss Lords; who knows if there’ll be a chance ever again!”
Demon Lord Huoxin urged drinks while laughing: “This matter is neither easy nor difficult; it all hinges on one point—having enough Immortal Energy naturally makes breaking the predicament simple!”
“Alas, easy to say, but obtaining Immortal Energy is far from simple!”
The Innate Fire God said regretfully: “In the great battle back then, I thought relying on my innate divine spirit foundation, plus the war power of a Super Expert, surely I’d obtain sufficient Immortal Energy.
But once truly fighting, I realized exceeding level combat wasn’t simple.
Existences in the Immortal Realm are excessively strong; less powerful are not opponents. Yet, if numerous Super Experts are engaging, even after killing them, the distributed Immortal Energy is scarce.
Safely passing through the Abyss Mist to reach relatively safe upper Abyss regions is challenging!”
“Haha, that’s true, Fire God!”
Demon Lord Huoxin grinned: “Though we haven’t seized much Immortal Energy, that’s due to insufficient power.
Unlike Palace Master Qin, Palace Master Qin’s strength is formidable. Among the super experts throughout the entire Abandoned Land, I’m afraid there are few who are stronger than Palace Master Qin. That’s why the quantity of Immortal Aura seized by the two Palace Masters far exceeds ours.
If Palace Master Qin could be willing to share a little from his hand, wouldn’t that be enough for us to leave safely?”
“This… Would Palace Master Qin be willing?”
The Innate Fire God looked at Qin Feng’s expression and hesitantly asked, “I don’t have much of a relationship with Palace Master Qin, so I’m afraid he may not be willing!”
“Hehe, even though we don’t have enough rapport, don’t we still have Archangel Di Jia?”
Demon Lord Huoxin laughed and said, “Archangel Di Jia, you have known Palace Master Qin for tens of thousands of years and have an excellent relationship. Why not persuade Palace Master Qin to see if he can spare some Immortal Aura to help us safely pass through the Abyss Mist and reach the upper layers of the Abyss safely!
Rest assured, we don’t want it for free; we’re willing to exchange with treasures and resources!”
“This…”
Di Jia’s face showed a troubled expression. He turned to look at Qin Feng and hesitated for a moment before asking, “Palace Master Qin, you have heard what they said. What do you think about it?”
“Hmph!”
Qin Feng spoke in a calm tone, “How precious is Immortal Aura, especially in the Abandoned Land, and you even think of trading it for ordinary resources? It’s truly a fool’s dream!”
“Why must Palace Master Qin keep people at a distance of a thousand miles!”
Demon Lord Huoxin smiled, “Everyone has fallen into the Abandoned Land, we should support each other and help each other. If Palace Master Qin refuses, it would not be considerate!”
“When did we ever have such rapport between each other?”
Qin Feng sneered, “Huoxin, put away that hypocritical face of yours. If you try to use such words to coerce me again, I’ll shatter your body!
Do you really think your true body, whether real or illusory, is beyond my ability to deal with?
In terms of beguiling skills, compared to the Heavenly Demon Clan, you still have much to learn!”
Demon Lord Huoxin’s face gradually turned cold, and his once honest middle-aged appearance slowly transformed into a sinister elder: “So, Palace Master Qin is not granting us this favor?”
“Other things might be acceptable, but given how precious Immortal Aura is, do you really think you deserve to ask me for any favors?”
“In that case, don’t blame us for being ruthless!”
Huoxin suddenly slapped the table, “Attack!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire building suddenly burst with Spirit Light, countless restrictions like a net from heaven and earth, tightly enveloping the hall.
And the area where Qin Feng was situated was enveloped by layers of light. The throne he sat on even rose with numerous Rune Chains, binding him to the throne, unable to move.
“Hmph!”
Qin Feng sneered, “I knew you people harbored ill intentions, yet even with these trivial means, you think you can trap me, it’s simply a fool’s dream!”
“Haha, we certainly know that Palace Master Qin is incredibly powerful, though this Array Formation Restriction is strong, it can’t confine you for long.
However, it doesn’t need to be long, just a moment will suffice!”
“Enough, no need for more words!”
Archangel Di Jia said, “This person’s strength is too strong, don’t delay, act immediately to end him, or if it drags on too long, unexpected changes may happen.
Besides, if that woman Liu Xuanling discovers what’s happening here, she might come to disrupt as well!”
“Hmph, what is there to fear? Liu Xuanling is merely in the Half-Step Immortal Realm; even if she’s refined a lot of Immortal Aura, can she really become a super expert in such a short time?”
Though saying this, Demon Lord Huoxin still stood up, preparing to head toward Qin Feng.
But just as he stood up, his expression suddenly changed, and his body swayed, sitting back down.
“Hmm? What’s going on?”
Archangel Di Jia and the Innate Fire God were startled. Just as they were about to rise, they suddenly felt a peculiar force surge within them, instantly causing their internal power to become chaotic, their limbs weak, and a strange corrosive force rapidly corroding their internal organs, flesh, and bones.
As their faces changed, numerous Rune Chains also sprang from the ground beneath their seats, firmly binding them in place.
“Hahaha…”
As Demon Lord Huoxin and the others were filled with shock, Qin Feng stood up with loud laughter, showing no signs of being poisoned, and the numerous Rune Chains on his body seemed to ignore him.
“A dignified super expert, yet you dare not fight me directly, instead using such deceitful tricks?”
Qin Feng’s icy gaze swept across Archangel Di Jia and the others: “These deceitful means, employed correctly, can indeed easily take down an opponent and gain benefits.
But if a mistake occurs, it can make you understand the meaning of regret and even allow the opponent a chance to exact revenge!”
“How is this possible!”
Demon Lord Huoxin’s voice was filled with undisguised terror: “We clearly saw you drink that cup of Soul Devouring Poison Wine. Also, we had checked the intensity of the array in your area before; why are you unaffected?
Moreover, the Array Formation Restriction here was secretly arranged by our men; how could you possibly have gone unnoticed by our subordinates and altered the restriction?”
“Hehe, do you think I will give you time to reply slowly, allowing you a chance to suppress the internal backlash and break free from the Rune Chains?”
Qin Feng sneered and stretched out his hand to grab a massive Copper Hammer in the air.
Seeing Qin Feng approaching with this Copper Hammer, Huoxin’s face changed instantly.
For he recognized that this Copper Hammer in Qin Feng’s hand was the Immortal Divine Artifact he snatched during the chaotic battle years ago.
In his current state, he could not withstand such an artifact’s blows.
He hurriedly pleaded, “Palace Master Qin, have mercy, I actually… ah!”
A hammer’s shadow fell, striking directly on Huoxin’s chest, not only interrupting his words but also shattering the strange magic power he’d just gathered to break free from the Rune Chains.
Qin Feng coldly snorted, “Even now, you still won’t behave; you’d better go to hell then!”
As his words fell, light radiated from his body, and the Copper Hammer in his hand suddenly emanated a heavy aura like the Ancient Divine Mountain, swinging down with overwhelming force.
On the other side, Archangel Di Jia and that Innate Divine Spirit quickly seized the opportunity to gather strength to break free, secretly messaging their subordinates outside for timely rescue!
Otherwise, they feared they might be killed by Qin Feng before fully escaping, although their subordinates weren’t opponents for Qin Feng, they could at least interfere.
“Master, don’t worry, I’m here to help you!”
From outside the hall, a few strong figures rapidly approached, heading toward Archangel Di Jia and the Innate Fire God’s direction.
Seeing them, the two felt a bit reassured.
But before they could fully relax, their expressions changed rapidly: “Cynthia, what are you doing?”
The Innate Fire God also roared angrily: “Chi Yan, do you dare to strike against me?”
