Chapter 65: Jiugang Marquis Shows Favor

| Return to List |

Luo Feng had not yet returned to Huyang City, but the news of ‘Xue Yun being killed’ had already reached the city first.

Because within the entire Huyang City, all clients of the Dark Hall of Yan Feng Pavilion received a message: The assassination mission of Divine Lord Xue Yun had been completed!

In the City Lord’s Mansion.

“It’s completed?” Magili Meng exclaimed.

“This, this, this…” Wu Qulou, the leader of the Wu Clan, although he had been looking forward to this result, still couldn’t believe it when he heard the news from Yan Feng Pavilion’s Dark Hall.

“They actually killed Xue Yun?” The City Lord of Huyang City felt embarrassed. “We once considered teaching Luo He a lesson. Looking back, it’s fortunate we didn’t take action.”

“Luo He’s strength is indeed above mine!” General Yong, standing nearby, said solemnly. “Among all the Eternal True Gods in Yuguo, only three or four can match him. As for those who surpass him? Yuguo has no stronger Eternal True God than him!”

The leaders of the Five Great Families were all shocked.

These branches of major families that had come to Huyang City were not highly ranked within their clans.

One of the Eternal True Gods standing at the peak of Yuguo?

That was someone valued by the Divine King, receiving vast resources for cultivation, a dazzling existence far beyond what these family branches could compare to.

“Xue Yun was not an Infinite Divine Body, but his accumulation in terms of realm was extremely high. Unexpectedly, Luo He could really kill him!” General Yong, who had fought Xue Yun before, was very aware of Xue Yun’s strength.

“Should we go out to welcome him?” Magili Meng suddenly spoke.

“Of course we should welcome him,” the City Lord of Huyang City laughed. “From now on, Divine Lord Luo He will be our most important friend in the City Lord’s Mansion!”

“I will also go to welcome him,” General Yong said.

He admired the strong the most.

“Let’s go!”

The leaders of the Five Great Families, General Yong, and Magili Meng, a total of seven, immediately left the City Lord’s Mansion, traveling through the void directly to the city gate, patiently waiting for the returning Divine Lord Luo He.

At this moment, all the Eternal True Gods in Huyang City were emotionally stirred.

In the Chaos State of Liu Yin in Shiguo, two of the Yutian Five Gods—Yutian Hu and Yutian Yi—were killed one after another, affecting over eight billion lives. The bounty on Divine Lord Xue Yun reached ten million Cosmos Sand, and now he was also dead.

All this happened in one night.

“Ten million Cosmos Sand.”

“Who could kill Xue Yun? Someone from the City Lord’s Mansion, or some mysterious powerhouse?”

“The bounty was just increased tonight, and Xue Yun, Yutian Hu, and Yutian Yi were all killed. The bounty really works!”

“It seems Huyang City hides a terrifying existence. As long as there is enough bounty, they can be hired to take action!”

The Eternal True Gods were all amazed and held respect.

From now on, they would have to be more careful in Huyang City, not to act recklessly. If they accidentally offended the one who killed Xue Yun, they feared they wouldn’t last even one move!

In Tianyan Sect.

Many disciples were still grieving in the square, mourning their powerlessness, mourning the invincibility of Divine Lord Xue Yun. Before the sorrow passed, good news arrived!

The bounty of ten million Cosmos Sand on Divine Lord Xue Yun had been claimed.

“Xue Yun is dead?”

“Hahaha, that old demon is finally dead.”

“Master, Xue Yun is dead!”

“Master, fellow disciples, your vengeance is finally fulfilled!”

The entire Tianyan Sect was in high spirits. Many disciples who had packed up their belongings returned to the square, incredibly excited.

“Sect Master, Xue Yun is dead!”

Uncle Qiu, hearing the news, was moved to tears. He knew well what the Sect Master had sacrificed his life for.

The Sect Master’s efforts were worth it.

“Sang Shuiyun is dead?” The Master of Dream Flower Pavilion sat alone in a small building, with a complex expression.

This night was too surreal; the two who had been obsessively pursuing her, Entropy Tianyan and Sang Shuiyun, were both dead.

A flying boat arrived near the east gate of Huyang City.

“They’re here!” The seven figures from the City Lord’s Mansion had been waiting for a long time.

“Hmm?”

Luo Feng emerged from the flying boat with Morosa.

“Divine Lord Luo He.” The City Lord of Huyang City walked in front, welcoming him warmly.

“In one night, Divine Lord, you killed two of the Yutian Five Gods and then Divine Lord Xue Yun, ridding Huyang City of a great scourge!”

Luo Feng said, “Thanks to Brother Entropy’s Causal Tracking Order, otherwise, Xue Yun would have fled to Shiguo long ago!”

“That Xue Yun was indeed cunning!” Magili Xiao also said, “He always hid his strength. This time, as soon as his identity was exposed, he immediately fled. Fortunately, Divine Lord Luo He acted and completely killed him!”

“With this achievement, I consider my mission fulfilled!” General Yong smiled. “When I return to the capital, I will report this to the Divine King!”

Of course, when he reported the news, it was uncertain when the Divine King would respond.

“We have already reported Divine Lord Luo He’s great merit to Lord Hou!” The City Lord of Huyang City said, “I believe there will be a generous reward from Lord Hou!”

Huyang City was within the fiefdom of Jiugang Marquis.

“Thank you all!” Luo Feng said.

If he could receive some benefits from Yuguo’s Divine King and Jiugang Marquis, he would naturally not refuse.

In his current weak state, he needed all the resources he could get to grow quickly.

“It is our duty!” The City Lord of Huyang City said, “In the future, if there is anything you need in Huyang City, Divine Lord Luo He, just let us know.”

“If you need resources or opportunities for cultivation, you should go to the capital!” General Yong said.

“Thank you, General Yong!” Luo Feng sensed the goodwill, but he had no plans to cultivate under the Divine King’s watch while he was still weak. If Morosa’s identity was exposed, he would immediately become an enemy of the entire Origin Continent, so he needed to be cautious during his weak period.

“Everyone, I need to visit Yan Feng Pavilion, so I’ll take my leave first!” Luo Feng said.

“Please!” The seven of them were very enthusiastic, including the heads of the Mei Wu Clan and Wu Clan, who were very warm, not minding the previous conflicts caused by the killing of Mei Wu Qi.

When one’s strength was sufficient, even broken teeth had to be swallowed.

They knew very well that in the eyes of the Divine Kings and Chaos Overlords, the value of Divine Lord Luo He was far higher than their peripheral branches combined.

Jiugang Chaos State, in Jiugang City. Inside a cultivation chamber.

“A powerful Eternal True God appeared in my fiefdom?” Jiugang Marquis sat on the ground, his long hair causing the surrounding void to distort.

“Liu Yin Marquis is pressing step by step, and the nearest border city, Huyang City, is likely his first target. Fortunately, a Luo He appeared at this time!”

Jiugang Marquis pondered. He was a Chaos Overlord who had cultivated for countless years, understanding the origin of the supreme rules. Although there was still a gap between him and a ‘Divine King,’ his accumulated strength was terrifying.

But Liu Yin Marquis, ranking among the top five Chaos Overlords in Shiguo, was indeed superior to him, causing significant pressure.

“This Luo He made such great contributions in my fiefdom, I must reward him generously, and I must report this to the State Lord!” Jiugang Marquis thought, “The State Lord always likes to nurture talents. Because of my report, if Luo He receives the State Lord’s cultivation, he will also be grateful for this favor.”

Jiugang Marquis knew very well that such a high-level Eternal True God, even if they were to follow someone, would certainly choose one of the five Divine Kings in Yuguo. Only a fool would choose him, a Marquis.

In terms of inheritance, resources, and backing, the Divine Kings were far superior to the Chaos Overlords.

To make Luo He grateful and willing to help defend Huyang City, he naturally had to show favor.

The fiefdom had three major cities, and the continuous resources and residence fees from these cities were very important to Jiugang Marquis.

“State Lord,” Jiugang Marquis contacted the State Lord of Yuguo.

Although Yuguo had five Divine Kings, only the one who established Yuguo was called the ‘State Lord.’

Despite Shiguo’s aggressive nature, it never initiated Divine King-level conflicts because the State Lord of Yuguo was too terrifying.

“Jiugang, why are you contacting me?” A distant voice came, and a faintly hairy figure directly imprinted into Jiugang Marquis’s mind.

Jiugang Marquis became much more respectful.

The State Lord of Yuguo was a terrifying existence on the entire Origin Continent.

“State Lord, I found a young man named Luo He in my fiefdom, Huyang City,” Jiugang Marquis began to report. Given his high status, he could contact the State Lord directly.

Luo Feng didn’t know that Jiugang Marquis was arranging benefits for him. He

had already arrived at a small building in Yan Feng Pavilion with Morosa.

“Divine Lord Luo He, my respect…” The Vice Pavilion Master, with misty eyes, looked at Luo Feng and said with a smile.

The Pavilion Master of Yan Feng Pavilion was also there, saying, “Divine Lord Luo He, do you have proof of killing Xue Yun?”

Luo Feng stretched out his hand, holding Xue Yun’s corpse.

The Pavilion Master and Vice Pavilion Master of Yan Feng Pavilion carefully examined the corpse.

Many traces could be seen from the corpse.

The chest of the corpse had a hole, and the True God’s Heart was missing.

“Grabbing the True God’s Heart again. Does he have some kind of void-related killing move? Can he directly take the heart?” These two disciples from the Emperor Chu Lineage of the Ancient Flame Kingdom had seen many things and had too many guesses at once.

“Is this proof enough?” Luo Feng asked.

“Of course it is!” The Vice Pavilion Master smiled. “Would you like to collect the bounties for Yutian Hu and Yutian Yi together?”

“Of course!” Luo Feng retrieved Yutian Hu’s weapon and Yutian Yi’s mechanical flow treasure.

“This is thirteen million Cosmos Sand!” The Vice Pavilion Master took out the already prepared bounty, which had been deposited in Yan Feng Pavilion by those who set the tasks.

Luo Feng received the jade bottle, sensing the massive amount of Cosmos Sand inside. His future cultivation could now be more extravagant.

After receiving the bounty, Luo Feng prepared to leave.

“Divine Lord Luo He!” The Pavilion Master of Yan Feng Pavilion smiled and said, “Let me introduce myself. I am from the Emperor Chu Lineage of the Ancient Flame Kingdom, named ‘Di Chu Yu.’ It is a fate to meet Divine Lord Luo He in Huyang City of Yuguo!”

“The Emperor Chu Lineage of the Ancient Flame Kingdom?” Luo Feng was not an idle cultivator who knew nothing.

With the dual inheritance, Luo Feng knew well what the Emperor Chu Lineage of the Ancient Flame Kingdom meant!
