At the city owner’s mansion, five incarnations of Divine Power had assembled and seated themselves.
“To capture eight Formation Masters alive at the same time, the forces of Shi Kingdom must have dispatched a group of top eternal true gods,” said Moli Xiao. “According to the five surviving Formation Masters, the Shi Kingdom’s forces are investigating all information pertaining to the ‘Huyang City Formation Map’.”
“The Formation Masters are only responsible for repairing very small areas; they know little about the complete formation map,” stated the Lord of Huyang City. “Such a large commotion cannot be just for that bit of information.”
Wu Qulou, a figure clad in blood-colored scale armor, spoke indifferently, “The Formation Masters know little about the complete formation map, but they are well aware of the general layout of Huyang City’s formation map.”
Everyone present agreed.
Like Shang Tianyan and other Formation Masters, who could repair small areas of the formation, their mastery of formations was profound, from a point to extrapolating the whole face… They would have a general guess about the layout of the entire Huyang City formation map.
“They must have plans for the grand formation of Huyang City,” declared the leader of the Meiwu Clan solemnly.
“Xue Yun is very restrained; it’s been a long time since they made such a big move,” said Moli Xiao. “I think we can report to the Marquis and request support.”
“Agreed.”
“The Shi Kingdom’s forces capturing the Formation Masters is just the beginning. Once they really show their fangs, we might not be able to hold them off.”
“Let’s report to the Marquis.”
Everyone agreed.
They were too late to even cover up the incident of ‘Meiwu Qi slaughtering hundreds of millions of civilians within Huyang City’, so naturally, they did not dare to ask for help.
Yet, in dealing with the forces of Shi Kingdom, their request for help was completely justified.
******
Luo Feng, who did not fully understand the subtle strife between the city owner’s mansion and the forces of Shi Kingdom, temporarily resided in the Heavenly Flame Sect.
This was also a public declaration—Shang Tianyan, I’ve got your back!
Two days had passed in a blink of an eye.
Luo Feng was walking around inside the Heavenly Flame Sect, watching the disciples refine Secret Treasure Weapons.
“Supreme.” Moyu Liuxing, the third of the Moyu Family, who was instructing juniors, spotted Luo Feng and promptly greeted him with respect.
He also had a talent for Artifact Refining, and with sufficient resources, had already advanced to a true god of void space. Among the three Moyu brothers, both the eldest and the third were true gods of void space, only ‘Moyu Qingyan’, who followed Luo Feng, was still a True God.
“Moyu Liuxing,” Luo Feng smiled at him. “I hear you’ve gotten married?”
“Yes, she is a senior sister I met after joining the Heavenly Flame Sect,” said Moyu Liuxing, his face revealing a hint of happiness as he spoke of his wife.
“It seems the Heavenly Flame Sect suits you well,” Luo Feng chuckled.
In the Land of Origin, countless creatures rarely marry in their lifetimes, as they live infinitely long and have no need to reproduce. Finding a beloved one and getting married is quite rare in the Land of Origin.
Some extremely powerful beings, with extraordinary bloodlines, reproduce offspring primarily to pass on these bloodlines.
“The Heavenly Flame Sect is indeed a good fit for me, and our master gives us careful guidance,” Moyu Liuxing remarked.
Suddenly—
Shang Tianyan hurriedly approached from afar, reaching Luo Feng in just two steps.
“Brother Luo He,” Shang Tianyan said urgently.
Luo Feng waved to Moyu Liuxing, who then respectfully withdrew.
“What’s the matter?” Luo Feng asked.
“Among the eight Formation Masters who were captured earlier, three have been killed,” Shang Tianyan said. “Their families might face some troubles after their deaths, so I’m also keeping an eye on their situations.”
Shang Tianyan, who liked making friends, counted all three as his close friends since they all belonged to the same circle.
“Of these three families, two were silently devoured by Cloud Treasure Tower, which has branches in many major cities of Yu Kingdom, mainly selling mid to low-end Secret Treasure Weapons,” continued Shang Tianyan. “Branches like the one I founded, Heavenly Flame Sect, and other Artifact Refiners’ shops are just small time. Cloud Treasure Tower, those are the major trading powers.”
Luo Feng listened.
Selling Secret Treasure Weapons to eternal true gods, how many could one sell in an era?
Selling to True Gods and true gods of void space, that’s where the real profit lies. Given the incredibly large numbers, it accumulates into staggering wealth.
“Normally, Cloud Treasure Tower wouldn’t stoop to plundering local families, but this time they did,” Shang Tianyan fumed. “It must have been some eternal true gods at Cloud Treasure Tower’s Huyang City branch who coveted the assets and swallowed up those two families.”
“In front of Cloud Treasure Tower, these two families couldn’t resist at all. In silence, all their long-accumulated resources, materials, and shops were snatched away,” Shang Tianyan said angrily. “That would have been manageable, but Cloud Treasure Tower is too strong.
They didn’t go on a killing spree; the two families, although completely ruined, at least kept their lives, with not many relatives killed over the disputes.”
“But it’s grim for the Qifeng Family. They were targeted by the Dark Forces, the Six Lords Alliance. Core members of the Qifeng Family perished in great numbers, the vast majority of their resources were forcibly looted, and two children of the eternal true gods were taken to the headquarters of the Six Lords Alliance by the Thousand-eye Lord,” explained Shang Tianyan.
“It’s likely to force those two to hand over the inheritances.”
“Brother Luo He, Lord Qifeng is my good friend. Half of his family members have died, and I want to save his two children,” Shang Tianyan looked at Luo Feng. “The Six Lords Alliance won’t consider my feelings, so I’m asking you, Brother Luo He, to help.”
Luo Feng frowned upon hearing this: “The city owner’s mansion just watched all this happen? Those three Formation Masters were initially brought in to repair the city’s formation, which led to their dire fates!”
“The majority of eternal true gods in Huyang City had served the city owner’s mansion, and when did the city owner’s mansion ever care about the lives and deaths of those eternal true gods?” Shang Tianyan shook his head, “Unless you completely surrender and become a vassal, the city owner’s mansion won’t intervene.”
“Leave this matter to me,” Luo Feng nodded and soared towards the distance, glancing at Morosa, who was happily eating and drinking.
With one look, Morosa understood.
“Master.” Morosa immediately flew over.
“We’re going out for a bit,” Luo Feng, piloting the Flying Boat, took Morosa and headed straight for the headquarters of the Six Lords Alliance.
…
There were eighteen dark forces in Huyang City, of which the Six Lords Alliance was one. The headquarters of the Six Lords Alliance was perennially gloomy, with a faint mist swirling around, and many internal members were busy with their respective tasks.
Inside one of the halls of the headquarters.
The siblings from the Qifeng Family sat there, fearfully watching the woman in the red robe in front of them.
“Your father is dead, and carrying treasures is not a good thing for you; it’s a bad thing,” the woman in the red robe sat there, softly laughing, “Previously I instructed your clan to willingly transfer the family resources, and they were actually reluctant? The result of their reluctance…is that most of your clan is now deceased.”
“Now it’s your turn,” the woman in the red robe looked at the siblings, “Lord Qifeng had only you two children, he must have arranged a way out for you, probably left some resources for you in the Flame Wind Pavilion.”
“Do as I say, immediately contact the Flame Wind Pavilion, transfer all the resources to me. Then you can live. Otherwise, you also have to die, and if you die, everything becomes void,” the woman in the red robe looked at the two fat sheep.
As one of the leaders of the dark forces, she was continually hunting for fat sheep.
After the death of Lord Qifeng, his two children naturally became big fat sheep.
Like after Diaorong Yan’s death, his daughter ‘Diaorong Qi’ was also considered a fat sheep, but she had been staying in the Moli Clan’s cave mansion, so she avoided trouble.
“It’s fortunate I acted quickly; otherwise, if I was a bit slower, others from the dark forces might have snatched them,” the woman in the red robe, the Thousand-eye Lord, thought to herself.
At this moment, Luo Feng had already arrived at the headquarters of the Six Lords Alliance with Morosa, piloting the Flying Boat.
Whoosh.
After storing the Flying Boat, Luo Feng and Morosa appeared at the main entrance of the Six Lords Alliance headquarters.
“Master? Shall we storm in?” Morosa was eager to move.
Yet Luo Feng had already taken a step forward.
Boom~~~
Without permission, trespassing into the Six Lords Alliance headquarters naturally triggered the headquarters formation’s retaliation. The somber formation’s might erupted and pressed down on Luo Feng, intent on tearing him apart.
“What’s happening?” many members of the Six Lords Alliance headquarters, including the eternal true gods present, were somewhat surprised.
Luo Feng, with Morosa stepping into the headquarters, naturally formed an invisible force around his body that could crush the formation’s power.
As they entered the headquarters, Luo Feng instantly locked onto the Thousand-eye Lord and also spotted the siblings from the Qifeng Family next to the woman in the red robe ‘Thousand-eye Lord’! Shang Tianyan had naturally provided Luo Feng with information about this pair of siblings beforehand.
“Lord Luo He!” the ‘Lord Bai Wu’ of the Six Lords Alliance called out from a distance.
Boom!
Luo Feng took a step and, along with Morosa, thundered through numerous obstacles, breaking through building walls, and directly arrived inside the hall, appearing in front of the Thousand-eye Lord.
The Thousand-eye Lord was shocked to see Luo Feng and the broken building stones around her, and even managed a smile as she greeted, “Thousand-eye has seen Lord Luo He.”
“Lord Luo He.” The other two eternal true gods inside the headquarters, ‘Lord Bai Wu’ and ‘Captive Wind Lord,’ quickly flew over, very polite and humble, not daring to offend in the slightest.
Luo Feng looked at the woman in the red robe ‘Thousand-eye Lord’,”Is it you who acted against the Qifeng Family?”
The woman in the red robe instantly made a guess and spoke hastily, “I was protecting the two children of Lord Qifeng, it wasn’t me who killed those members of the Qifeng Family.”
“It was her who killed them!” In the corner of the hall, one of the siblings, the elder brother despite being terrified, still gritted his teeth and shouted out those words.
The woman in the red robe looked at the siblings in shock and anger.
“Lord Luo He, I—” The woman in the red robe was about to defend herself when she saw that Lord Luo He in front of her had already reached out!
She didn’t hesitate further, instantly manifested her true body in an attempt to save her life. A huge twisted entity appeared, its surface dotted with eerie eyes, indeed she had over a thousand eyes, capable of damaging an enemy’s soul.
Spurt~~~
What seemed like an ordinary stretch of Luo Feng’s hand pierced through that massive entity, crushing a True God’s Heart.
Only the twisted manifestation of the true god’s body fell apart, and with a wave of his hand, Luo Feng collected the corpse.
Seeing this scene, both Lord Bai Wu and Captive Wind Lord were somewhat stunned. Although the Thousand-eye Lord wasn’t as powerful as the Blood Python Association Leader, she was still an extremely formidable eternal true god, but she had no chance to resist in front of Lord Luo He.
“Do the numerous deaths within the Qifeng Family have anything to do with you two?” Luo Feng looked at them.
Lord Bai Wu and Captive Wind Lord hastily shook their heads.
They knew a wrong answer might mean their own deaths!
