CHAPTER 583: CHAPTER 571: WORRYING EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE_2

Qin Feiyang’s eyes flashed as he nodded. "Sure, but I’m also curious about the self-sealing. Can you explain it to me in more detail?"

Lu Xingchen chuckled and immediately shifted the topic. "You seemed pretty sure just now that Mo Wushen and his men weren’t going to take action."

"I was also puzzled by that." Dong Zhengyang also stepped forward, observing Qin Feiyang with a face full of shock.

Qin Feiyang said, "The night I entered the Netherworld, Murong Xiong and I had a conflict. Didn’t I mention back then that I had killed a Two-star War Ancestor?"

Dong Zhengyang and the others nodded.

Qin Feiyang continued, "That person was a Commander under the Yun State Governor, and I killed him inside a Yun State jail."

Upon hearing this, the three exchanged glances. To kill someone even in another’s prison—this guy was truly audacious!

Dong Zhengyang asked, "So, it’s because of this that they were wary of you and didn’t dare to act?"

Qin Feiyang said, "That’s only one reason."

"There’s another reason?" Dong Zhengyang asked in surprise.

"Exactly," Qin Feiyang explained. "What you saw was just the surface. In reality, there’s deep enmity between them. When I first arrived in Yun State, Mo Wushen was nearly killed by Pan Wuyan and Yan Tianfeng."

"I understand now," Lu Xingchen said with sudden realization. "Mo Wushen is worried that what happened before will happen again."

"Correct." Qin Feiyang nodded. "If Pan Wuyan and Yan Tianfeng get the chance, they will try to eliminate him again."

"I was quite worried at first, but after hearing you say that, the Yun State contingent doesn’t seem to be much of a threat," Lu Xingchen chuckled. "From now on, when we encounter people from Yun State, we’ll specifically target Mo Wushen."

"Why do you say that?" Dong Zhengyang asked, puzzled.

Lu Xingchen explained, "He’s afraid of being schemed against by Yan Tianfeng and Pan Wuyan, so he certainly won’t dare to engage in a fight rashly. Because the moment he’s injured, those two will have their opportunity. Right, Brother Qin?"

"I’m not concerned about those three," Qin Feiyang said. "What I’m wondering now is when we’ll encounter people from the other major states, and how strong they are."

"There’s no use thinking too much about it. We’ll take it one step at a time." Lu Xingchen smiled faintly, then returned to his resting spot, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Dong Zhengyang glanced at Lu Xingchen and subtly raised an eyebrow. This man was becoming increasingly mysterious and inscrutable.

Then, he looked at Qin Feiyang and said, "I’d like to discuss the selection of the team leader with you."

With Dongfang Wuheng’s escape, a new team leader naturally needed to be selected.

Qin Feiyang laughed. "There’s nothing to discuss. You’ll be it."

Team leader? He had absolutely no interest. It was a completely thankless job.

Dong Zhengyang’s face twitched.

He didn’t want to be the team leader either. But now, apart from Qin Feiyang, was he perhaps the only one capable?

Suddenly, he looked towards Ren Wushuang.

Ren Wushuang was startled and frowned. "Why are you looking at me?"

Dong Zhengyang said, "You’re the State Governor’s granddaughter. Your words carry more weight than mine or Qin Feiyang’s. You should be the team leader."

"I..." Ren Wushuang was about to say something.

But Dong Zhengyang didn’t give her the chance. He turned to Wu Yan and the others and said loudly, "Ren Wushuang will be our new team leader. Do you all agree?"

"Agreed!" everyone nodded.

"Good, it’s settled then." Dong Zhengyang nodded with a smile, then turned to Ren Wushuang and said, "Team Leader, I’ll go recuperate first. Call me if anything comes up."

"You..." Ren Wushuang wanted to say something.

But Dong Zhengyang still didn’t give her the chance to speak. He strode over to his resting place, sat down, and closed his eyes.

"This... I..." Ren Wushuang glanced at Dong Zhengyang, then at the crowd, before finally turning to Qin Feiyang for help.

Qin Feiyang laughed. "Since you’re the popular choice, don’t refuse."

"Jerk," Ren Wushuang glared at him and said reluctantly, "Fine. But you have to give me your full support."

"That’s a given," Qin Feiyang replied.

Ren Wushuang felt greatly relieved. It felt as if with Qin Feiyang’s help, there was nothing that couldn’t be accomplished.

Suddenly, she seemed to recall something and asked in a low voice, "What was that between you and Lu Xingchen earlier?"

Their conversation earlier, about self-sealing and ancient texts, was baffling.

Qin Feiyang smiled lightly. "You’ll know in due time."

"Still being secretive?" Ren Wushuang rolled her eyes at him and also went to recuperate.

Qin Feiyang swallowed a healing pill, his gaze sweeping, as if casually, towards Lu Xingchen. Beside Lu Xingchen, however, he spotted a familiar figure.

Xiang Shaolong!

He was suddenly quite surprised. This guy isn’t dead? After all, those still alive now all had cultivation at Six Star War Emperor or above. The ones who had died also had higher cultivation levels than Xiang Shaolong. How could Xiang Shaolong have survived? Strange!

Qin Feiyang withdrew his gaze and looked out at the vast plain, his eyes flickering with uncertainty.

Time flew. An hour passed quickly.

Ren Wushuang opened her eyes, stood up, and addressed everyone, "Are you all rested? If so, let’s prepare to depart."

At her words, everyone opened their eyes and rose to their feet.

Although they were all covered in bloodstains and exuded an acrid, bloody smell, their spirits were high, and their fighting intent was strong.

Seeing everyone’s energetic appearance, Ren Wushuang was quite satisfied.

"Although we haven’t encountered any danger so far, the Marsh of Death is definitely not a welcoming place."
