“Brother Luo He, as long as you want to drink, I am always ready to accompany you,” Zhu You laughed heartily, “Being able to drink with Brother Luo He is a very honorable thing nowadays.”
Although what Luo Feng had done was something the Eternal True Gods in Huyang City dared not do, considering their backing forces, it did not affect their admiration for him!
“Let’s go, let’s go.” Luo Feng didn’t care at all about what he had just done and pulled Zhu You back to the original hall.
Morosa and Moyu Qingyan followed behind them.
“Hehehe,” Morosa laughed as he walked, in an extremely good mood.
“Divine Lord Morosa, the master has done something so significant, and you’re still laughing?” Moyu Qingyan couldn’t help but transmit his voice, “The Five Great Families probably won’t let this go.”
“And what if they don’t?” Morosa looked at Moyu Qingyan.
Moyu Qingyan’s expression was solemn as he transmitted his voice, “I’m afraid there will be a bloody storm.”
“It will be their blood,” Morosa reached out and rubbed Moyu Qingyan’s head, laughing happily as he transmitted his voice, “You’ll understand in the future, kid.”
While Luo Feng returned to the hall to continue drinking, the other guests in the Dream Flower Pavilion were in complete turmoil. Some were excitedly discussing, while others quickly left to report in detail to their own forces. The thousand void True Gods of the Huyang Guards quietly and discreetly left.
The events at the Dream Flower Pavilion quickly spread and fermented within Huyang City.
In the hall of the Dream Flower Pavilion, Luo Feng and Zhu You sat facing each other, drinking and chatting, feeling comfortable and at ease.
“Brother Luo He, what you did in Huyang City is like poking a hole in the sky!” Zhu You sighed, “The Eternal True Gods of the Five Great Families are like the sky in Huyang City. You killed one of them; they won’t let it go easily.”
“And what if they don’t let it go?” Luo Feng held his wine cup, smiling lightly, “I’m openly staying in Huyang City. I want to see what they can do.”
Zhu You could tell that Divine Lord Luo He was not afraid of the Five Great Families at all.
“Impressive.” Zhu You sighed, “My Zhu Clan would not dare to do such a thing.”
“You have the concerns of your clan, so you must be more prudent in your actions,” Luo Feng smiled, “I am just a lone traveler, with only two servants by my side. I have no attachments, so I can act more freely and comfortably.”
Zhu You nodded, “But Brother Luo He, you must be careful. Even if no one in Huyang City can do anything to you, they might invite powerful figures from elsewhere.”
“I have already given enough face to the City Lord’s Mansion,” Luo Feng said, pouring himself a drink. “Tonight, I only killed the deeply sinful Mei Wuqi and his accomplice Qian Yuchong. I didn’t touch any other Huyang Guards, and I even let them take away the Ziyu Hound. I was very restrained in my actions. Even if this matter reaches the ears of the Chaos Overlord, he would commend me.”
“Commend you?” Zhu You was taken aback.
Luo Feng glanced at him, “You don’t understand. The Divine Kings and Chaos Overlords are high above. Their clans have proliferated over endless ages, and who knows how many clan members they have. They can’t even settle all of them in their own fiefdoms and have placed many clan members in other chaos states.”
“For the Divine Kings and Chaos Overlords, they need the massive resources provided by these cities,” Luo Feng continued.
“Yes,” Zhu You nodded.
The huge cities and the residence fees paid by countless True Gods, after maintaining the operations of the City Lord’s Mansion, the Huyang Guards, and the Huyang Legion, were mostly handed over to the Divine Kings and Chaos Overlords.
“A single True God pays very little, but the billions of True Gods in numerous cities across Yuguo pay a lot. This is the resource the Divine Kings and Chaos Overlords value the most,” Luo Feng explained. “So they set laws to ensure enough safety within the cities, making countless True Gods willingly pay their residence fees.”
“But Mei Wuqi slaughtered billions of citizens in the city! If the Divine Kings and Chaos Overlords knew about this, the first person they would want to kill is Mei Wuqi!”
Luo Feng shook his head, “I killed Mei Wuqi, and the Divine Kings and Chaos Overlords would only praise me. They wouldn’t even punish me. If they did, they would be ridiculed by the other Divine Kings and Chaos Overlords in Yuguo.”
Zhu You’s eyes lit up, “Brother Luo He, you have extraordinary insight and understand the minds of the Divine Kings and Chaos Overlords. Indeed, the Chaos Overlords would never intervene in such matters.”
“The clans of the Chaos Overlords are enormous. Should they have the Chaos Overlords handle every little thing? Are the Chaos Overlords their subordinates?” Luo Feng shook his head. “Unless it’s a major issue that enrages the Chaos Overlords, they won’t bother.”
Having inherited the traditions of both the Undying River of the Broken Eastern River lineage and the Jin Divine King lineage, Luo Feng understood some of the behaviors of the Divine Kings and Chaos Overlords.
For those at the top of the Origin Continent, countless clan members need to undergo trials and selection. The weak and foolish are eliminated, while the strong and excellent remain.
Luo Feng was not wrong.
Even the Chaos Overlord of the Mei Wu Clan, knowing about such incidents in the distant Jiugang Chaos State, would verbally praise the killing! He might even strictly instruct the clan not to commit similar acts again.
“As a lone traveler, I follow the rules,” Luo Feng said. “There are others like me elsewhere.”
“Yes, I also know that some Eternal True Gods kill indiscriminately when passing through some cities, and their identities cannot be traced,” Zhu You nodded.
While Luo Feng chatted, he also divided his attention to inspect the items left behind by Mei Wuqi.
His primary concern was the secret treasure, “Sin City.”
Indeed, Mei Wuqi had carried the secret treasure “Sin City” close to him.
“There are still over 180 million citizens in this Sin City?” Luo Feng’s divine power infiltrated the city, and with a single thought, he confirmed the number of survivors. However, the scenes within Sin City made Luo Feng’s heart tremble.
The remaining 180 million-plus citizens had all undergone significant torture; many had twisted minds, and their auras had become chaotic and frenzied.
The caves in the “Chaos Armor Area” of Huyang City were the most expensive, and the caves numbered 1 to 5 belonged to the Five Great Families.
Chaos Armor Cave No. 1 and No. 2 belonged to two royal families.
Chaos Armor Cave No. 3 was owned by the most powerful Magili Clan.
Chaos Armor Cave No. 4 was owned by the Jiugang Marquis’s Jiang Clan. Although Huyang City was still officially managed by Yuguo, the Jiugang Marquis took a significant portion of the resources and sent some clan members there to oversee these resources.
Chaos Armor Cave No. 5 belonged to the Mei Wu Clan, a renowned chaos clan in the entire Yuguo, with two Chaos Overlords in their family! The family branch stationed in Huyang City was one of the Five Great Families.
At this moment, the top echelons of the Mei Wu Clan were gathered in their super large cave.
Eight figures sat apart.
“Our Mei Wu Clan’s branch in Huyang City had a total of nine Eternal True Gods, but now there are only eight left!” The black-haired elder at the head, who had some branches and leaves growing from him, spoke.
“Mei Wuqi was killed openly! That Luo He didn’t regard our Mei Wu Clan at all. He didn’t even use a small universe field to hide it and killed Mei Wuqi in front of everyone. For daring to insult our Mei Wu Clan , he must die!” One of the high-ranking clan members had a ferocious expression, his eyes full of murderous intent.
“We should invite experts from our ancestral land to kill Luo He.”
They were just a branch sent here, but the true core of the Mei Wu Clan, with two Chaos Overlords and nearly ten thousand Eternal True Gods nurtured over endless ages, was in the distant ancestral land.
The real elites of the Mei Wu Clan were far stronger than even Magili Xiao.
“Fools! This kind of thing can’t be leaked to the ancestral land.”
“You came to Huyang City just to enjoy yourselves, as stupid as Mei Wuqi! How could you think of informing the ancestral land about this?”
Several high-ranking clan members immediately rebuked.
The black-haired elder at the head nodded, “Mei Wuqi massacred billions of citizens in the city! This is an undeniable monstrous crime! The Divine Kings and Chaos Overlords have clearly ordered to ensure the safety of city citizens. Today’s event must not be reported!”
“If many things are not reported, they remain small matters. If the ancestors knew, each of us would be punished.”
The eight high-ranking members of the Mei Wu Clan also understood that they were just a very marginal branch in the entire Mei Wu Clan. If they angered the ancestors, they might all be sent to do hard labor, and the pleasure of enjoying life in Huyang City would fall to other branches of the clan.
“On the surface, we can’t pursue this matter. But secretly, we must let all of Huyang City know that anyone who dares to slap the face of the Five Great Families must pay the price!”
“Find a way to deal with him! Even if we can’t kill him, we must force him to hide in disgrace, never daring to appear openly again.”
“If this matter is not resolved, it’s not just our Mei Wu Clan’s face that’s at stake. In the eyes of all the forces in Huyang City… Luo He has slapped the face of all the Five Great Families, and the other four families must contribute as well.”
As the eight of them discussed, their anger was evident. After all, they had been high and mighty for too long to tolerate such provocation from an Eternal True God.
The black-haired elder’s expression changed, “This is bad.”
“What’s wrong?” The other seven high-ranking clan members, who were in the midst of discussion, were puzzled.
“That Luo He is simply insane!” The black-haired elder said urgently, “He released the over 100 million surviving citizens from Mei Wuqi’s ‘Sin City’ into Huyang City.”
