Chapter 1495 - 1428: Reunion of Old Friends

There was one man and three women, all looking quite ordinary, yet their charisma stood out, ensuring they caught attention wherever they went.

Moreover.

The aura around the four was formidable.

Even Qin Feiyang couldn't see through them.

Swish!!!

The four swept before Qin Feiyang, bowed to the mysterious lady and others, and said, "Greetings, esteemed seniors."

"Who might you be?"

The mysterious lady asked suspiciously.

The young man clasped his hands and said, "Junior Ling Yu, these three are my friends, Feng Ranran, Lo Dan, and Zhao Yu."

The mysterious lady paused, then turned to glance at Qin Feiyang.

"They can be considered my friends as well."

Qin Feiyang mused internally.

Yet he was puzzled.

According to Lu Xingchen, these four had mysteriously disappeared before; why had they suddenly reappeared now?

And each of them had grown so powerful?

Ling Yu turned to Qin Feiyang, smiled, and said, "Brother Qin, it's been a long time."

Qin Feiyang chuckled lightly and said, "Considering the time that has passed, indeed, it's been a while. How have you been recently?"

"After leaving the Temple, we've been like carefree wanderers, relaxed and living quite well."

Ling Yu laughed.

Elder Qin asked in surprise, "Were you once disciples of the Temple?"

"Yes."

"Back then, we came to the Imperial Capital together with Brother Qin."

Ling Yu nodded.

"Why did you leave?"

Elder Qin frowned.

Ling Yu sighed and said, "The Temple is full of deceit and scheming; we don't like such an atmosphere."

Elder Qin said, "In this world, where isn't there scheming? To grow, you must endure these experiences."

"What Elder Qin says is true, but if we can escape for tranquility, that's best."

Ling Yu smiled faintly, looking at Qin Feiyang and said, "I wonder if Brother Qin has any extra slots?"

"You want to go to the Divine Sign too?"

Qin Feiyang was surprised.

"If not going to the Divine Sign, why else would we seek you?"

Ling Yu laughed.

Qin Feiyang pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay, I still have plenty of slots anyway."

"Thank you, Brother Qin."

Ling Yu gratefully clasped his hands.

"Count me in as well."

Suddenly.

A ethereal laughter rang out.

Boom!

Immediately after.

A terrifying aura surged out from the time-space gateway.

"What is that?"

People looked towards the time-space gateway in astonishment.

Soon!

A gigantic figure rushed out from the gateway, appearing above the Elixir Tower Square.

It was a huge dog, over thirty meters long, with dark red fur covering its entire body, exuding a massive fierce aura.

More bizarrely.

Sitting on the dog's shoulders were six dog heads!

Each dog head was as large as a winnowing basket, six pairs of eyes, twelve eyeballs, looking like they were formed from blood, emitting a shocking fierceness.

"Judging by its appearance, could it be the legendary Hellhound?"

"It's said that Hellhounds are divine beasts, responsible for guarding the gates of hell, extremely fierce."

The crowd started to discuss fervently.

"It truly is a Hellhound!"

Elder Qin and others looked at each other in disbelief.

But Qin Feiyang's face broke into a slight smile.

Because upon seeing the Hellhound, he knew who was coming.

"Dead dog, can you wait for me? Running so fast, are you off to reincarnate?"

With an angry shout, a young man rushed out from the time-space gateway, glaring at the Hellhound with an angry expression.

This man was tall and thin, with a hooked nose, eyes like eagle eyes, exuding a sharp gleam.

Indeed!

It was Tan Wu!

"If reincarnating, I'll bring you along too."

Hellhound snorted coldly, transforming into a streak of light, fiercely heading towards Qin Feiyang and the others.

Tan Wu twitched his face, shouted, "Fine, if you dare, don't go to Qin Feiyang, charge directly into the Divine Sign with me."

"Scram!"

"I wouldn't commit such a foolish act with you, if you loathe your life, go die by yourself, don't drag me down."

Hellhound snorted, flying first to Qin Feiyang, raising its proud head, scanning the group of people.

"These two, bickering as always, haven't changed a bit."

Qin Feiyang shook his head, giggling.

"Kid, last time in the Demon Dragon Mountains I was planted by you because I was careless; how about we have another go now?"

Hellhound turned its gaze onto Qin Feiyang, chuckling mischievously.

"Um!"

Qin Feiyang was taken aback, shook his head, and said, "No interest."

"No interest?"

"I think you're just scared!"

Hellhound teased, looking at Qin Feiyang.

Qin Feiyang rolled his eyes.

"Dead dog, can't you behave?"

Tan Wu flew over, glaring at the Hellhound angrily.

Hellhound chuckled, glancing at Qin Feiyang and Tan Wu, said, "How about you both come at me together?"

"Bastard."

"Believe it or not, I won't take you to the Divine Sign later?"

Tan Wu was furious.

"Bah, that's the only threat you have against me."

Hellhound's twelve eyes were filled with disdain.

Tan Wu suddenly felt powerless, looked at Qin Feiyang, and awkwardly smiled, "Pardon the embarrassment."

"Already used to it, doesn't matter."

Qin Feiyang repressed his laughter, said.

Hearing this, Tan Wu's expression grew even more awkward.

Qin Feiyang asked, "Are you going to the Divine Sign as well?"

"Yes."

Tan Wu nodded, chuckling, "Of course, if you don't have any extra spots now, I won't push it."

"Won't push it?"

"You little punk, since when did you become so generous?"

"This Emperor doesn't care, either way, I'm definitely going to the Divine Sign."

The Hellhound said.

Tan Wu's face turned dark, veins popping as he yelled, "Can you give me some face with all these people watching?"

"Do you even need face, you shameless rogue?"

The Hellhound sneered.

Tan Wu was taken aback, roaring, "Clarify, when have I ever been shameless?"

The Hellhound replied, "You cling to this Emperor like a leech, isn't that shameless?"

"I cling to you like a leech?"

"Do you have any shame left?"

"Back when we went to see Elder Qin, who insisted on tagging along, and couldn't be driven away?"

"This time at the Divine Sign, who insisted on tagging along shamelessly?"

Tan Wu was furious enough to explode.

Never seen such an unabashed scoundrel.

"Elder Qin!"

Qin Feiyang's heart tightened, and he transmitted, "Have you been at Uncle Yuan's this whole time?"

"Yes."

Tan Wu nodded.

"Is he doing well?"

Qin Feiyang asked quietly.

Tan Wu laughed, "He's eating well, sleeping well, no one is better off than him."

"I really want to see him."

Qin Feiyang sighed inwardly, looking at the Hellhound with a smile, "Stop arguing, I have plenty of spots left."

"Who wants to argue with him?"

"He's the one who makes trouble all day."

The Hellhound snorted coldly.

"I make trouble?"

Tan Wu pointed at his own nose, glaring angrily at the Hellhound.

"Alright, alright, let's prepare to enter the Divine Sign!"

Qin Feiyang quickly stepped in to mediate.

He had long witnessed these two rivals, knowing that without intervention, they'd never stop.

Upon hearing they were about to enter the Divine Sign, the Hellhound immediately quieted down.

Tan Wu and Ling Yu greeted each other.

After all, they were old acquaintances.

"Let's go!"

Qin Feiyang looked at the stone gate, exhaled deeply, and led the group through the gate.

The instant they entered the stone gate, everyone was plunged into darkness, unable to see anything.

Meanwhile.

A terrifying, destructive aura enveloped them.

A sense of crisis and fear involuntarily rose in everyone's hearts.

But at that moment.

The godly flames of thunder and ice erupted, forming a barrier that protected the group.

It also illuminated the path forward.

Ahead lay a long corridor, its end unseen.

Within the corridor, swirled gray storms, the source of the destructive aura they felt.

Qin Feiyang queried in surprise, "These are the time-space storms?"

"Correct."

"The power of time-space storms is terrifying; even a War God cannot escape death."

There's a mysterious aura spoken in a grave tone.

Upon hearing this, Tan Wu, the Hellhound, and Ling Yu's eyes shrank in shock.

The mysterious aura advised, "Time is of the essence, hurry."

Qin Feiyang nodded, leading the group toward the end of the corridor.

"Help…"

Suddenly.

A shout for help came from behind.

Turning their gaze back, they saw several burly men rush in, instantly swallowed by the time-space storm, torn to shreds.

"This is the consequence of ignoring warnings."

There's a cold laugh, devoid of sympathy.

Qin Feiyang turned back, flying toward the end as he asked, "Will the stone gate close?"

"Yes."

"Lu Xingchen, the General Tower Master, and Emperor Hong likely have entered carrying the Elixir Flames."

"Once we enter with the thunder and ice flames, the stone gate will close automatically."

There's the mysterious aura replied.

Qin Feiyang asked, "How will we open the stone gate when we come out?"

"Between the first and second levels' corridors is a vacuum zone with a stone door leading outside."

"Opening this door also requires ten types of Elixir Flames."

"So you must carefully safeguard the thunder and ice flames."

The mysterious aura cautioned.

"Got it."

Qin Feiyang nodded.

"I'll tell you the location of the first and second level corridors in advance."

"The tunnel is in the southwest direction."

"Follow it, and when you see a mountain range resembling a hand, head for the tallest peak."

"The passage to the second level is atop that mountain peak."

"But be careful, because a mythical serpent guards the entrance."

The mysterious aura spoke gravely.

"How strong is it?"

Qin Feiyang inquired.

"Pseudo God!"

There's the mysterious aura answered.

Qin Feiyang's heart sank.

Tan Wu and the others looked extremely serious.

"Don't worry too much."

"The serpent usually slumbers; if you don't disturb it, it won't awake."

"We passed beside it while it slept to enter the passageway."

"But if it's awake, don't approach. Wait until it sleeps."

"It never forgives any creature it spots."

The mysterious aura advised.

Everyone nodded.

Qin Feiyang shook his head, "Whether it's asleep isn't my main concern."
