Chapter 42: Chapter 39 The Face of the Five Great Families

"As long as Brother Luo He is willing to drink, I am always ready to accompany him," Zhu You laughed heartily, "It is truly prestigious to be able to drink with Brother Luo He nowadays."Although the acts Luo Feng had committed were ones that the eternal true gods within Huyang City dared not undertake due to the backing forces they had to consider,

it didn't affect everyone's admiration!

"Let's go, let's go, let's go." Luo Feng, unconcerned about what he had just done, pulled Zhu You back to the original hall.

Morosa and Moyu Qingyan followed behind.

"Hehehe." Morosa laughed as he walked, feeling very happy.

"Lord Luo Sa, the master has done such a huge thing, and yet you laugh?" Moyu Qingyan couldn't help but transmit his voice, "The Five Great Families probably won't let this go."

"And so what if they don't let it go?" Morosa looked at Moyu Qingyan.

Moyu Qingyan's expression was solemn as he transmitted his voice: "There may be a storm of blood and gore."

"It will be their blood and gore." Morosa stretched out his hand and ruffled Moyu Qingyan's head, smiling happily as he transmitted his voice, "You'll understand in time, my boy."

"Their blood and gore?" Moyu Qingyan followed behind, deep in thought.

As Luo Feng returned to the hall to continue drinking, other guests within the Dream Flower Tower grew completely restless.

They were either fervently discussing or quickly leaving to report back to their own forces in detail. Meanwhile, the thousands of true gods of void space from the Huyang Guards discreetly took their leave.

The incidents at the Dream Flower Tower spread rapidly within Huyang City, fermenting.

...

In that hall of the Dream Flower Tower, Luo Feng and Zhu You sat opposite each other, drinking and chatting with ease and comfort.

"Brother Luo He, what you did has truly pierced the heavens in Huyang City!" Zhu You exclaimed, "The eternal true gods from the Five Great Families are like the sky of Huyang City, and you've killed one of them. They certainly won't let this go easily."

"And what can they do if they don't let it go?" Luo Feng said, holding his wine cup lightly with a smile, "I am openly in Huyang City, and I would like to see what they can do."

Zhu You could see that Lord Luo He truly wasn't afraid of the Five Great Families.

"I admire that," Zhu You sighed, "My Zhu Clan wouldn't dare to do such things."

"You have the concerns of a family, so naturally, you need to be more cautious," Luo Feng said with a smile, "I am a lone wanderer, now with just two servants by my side. I have no ties and can afford to act freely and boldly."

Zhu You nodded, "But Brother Luo He, you must be careful. Even if no one within Huyang City can harm you, they might invite strong forces from other places." seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"I have given the city owner's mansion enough respect." Luo Feng poured himself another drink, "Tonight I merely killed the deeply sinful Meiwu Qi and his accomplice Qianyu Chong, and I didn't touch the other Huyang Guards. Even Purple Jade Gen I let them take away. My actions were quite restrained. Even if the news reaches the ears of the Primal Chaos Overlord, they would have to commend me."

"Commend you?" Zhu You was taken aback.

Luo Feng glanced at him, "That you wouldn't understand. The Godly Kings and Primal Chaos Overlords sit high above; their clans have proliferated over endless years, and the number of clan members is countless. They can't even settle them in their own territories and have to place a large number of clan members in other Primal Chaos Prefectures."

"For the Godly Kings and Primal Chaos Overlords, they need the massive resources provided by cities," Luo Feng said.

"Yes," Zhu You nodded.

The vast cities, the residence fees paid by countless true gods, maintained the operations of the city owner's mansion, Huyang Guards, and Huyang Legion, and the rest was almost entirely delivered to the Godly Kings and Primal Chaos Overlords.

"A single true god pays little, but the massive number of cities in the Yu Kingdom deliver much when combined," Luo Feng continued, "That's what the Godly Kings and Primal Chaos Overlords value most, and so they set laws! They ensure sufficient safety within the cities, convincing countless true gods to willingly pay the residence fees."

"But Meiwu Qi, who slaughtered millions of the city's citizens— should the Godly Kings and Primal Chaos Overlords hear of it, they'd be the first to want to kill Meiwu Qi!"

Luo Feng shook his head, "By killing Meiwu Qi, the Godly Kings and Primal Chaos Overlords would only commend me, not even punish me. Any punishment at all, and they would be mocked by other Godly Kings and Primal Chaos Overlords in the Yu Kingdom."

Zhu You's eyes brightened, "Brother Luo He, your insight is exceptional, understanding the minds of the Godly Kings and Primal Chaos Overlords. Indeed, the Primal Chaos Overlords wouldn't intervene in such matters."

"The clans of the Primal Chaos Overlords are immense; would the Primal Chaos Overlords intervene in every trivial matter? Are they their subordinates?" Luo Feng shook his head, "Without a major incident that truly enrages the Primal Chaos Overlords, they will not care."

Having the inheritances from both Duan Dong River and God King Jin, Luo Feng was well aware of some behavioral styles of the Godly Kings and Primal Chaos Overlords.

For those existing at the highest echelons of the Land of Origin, countless clan members already needed to experience trials and selections! The weak and foolish were weeded out, and only the strong and excellent remained.

Luo Feng was right.

The Primal Chaos Overlord of the Meiwu Clan, even when aware of such incidents occurring in the distant Jiu Jiang Primal Chaos Prefecture branch of their clan, would verbally commend the killings on his lips. He even sternly demanded that the clan must not commit similar acts again.

"There are also other places where lone individuals like me reside," Luo Feng said. "I consider myself someone who abides by the rules."

"Yes, I also know that some eternal true gods have passed through cities, killing at will, and the identities of the murderers could not be traced," Zhu You nodded.

While chatting casually, Luo Feng also diverted his attention to investigate the items left by Meiwu Qi.

What concerned him most was the Secret Treasure 'Sinful City'.

The Secret Treasure 'Sinful City' was indeed personally carried by Meiwu Qi.

"There are still over one hundred eighty million citizens within this 'Sinful City'?" Luo Feng, with his divine power penetrating, confirmed the number of survivors in an instant, but the scenes within Sinful City made even him shudder.

The remaining one hundred eighty million citizens, each had endured tremendous torture, many of their spirits were twisted, their auras chaotic and frenzied.

The cave dwellings in the 'Primal Chaos Armor Sector' within Huyang City were the most expensive, and the dwellings numbered 1 to 5 were owned by the Five Great Families.

Primal Chaos Armor No. 1 and Primal Chaos Armor No. 2 were owned by the two Royal Families.

Primal Chaos Armor No. 3 Cave Dwelling was owned by the most powerful Moli Clan.

Primal Chaos Armor No. 4 Cave Dwelling belonged to the Marquis of Jiu Jiang 'Jiang Clan,' with Jiu Jiang Primal Chaos Prefecture being the Marquis's fief. Even though Huyang City was still managed by the official authorities of Yu Kingdom, the Marquis would demand a large portion of resources and send part of his clan here also to supervise the resources.

Primal Chaos Armor No. 5 Cave Dwelling was owned by the Meiwu Clan, a prominent Primal Chaos Clan in the entire Yu Kingdom, boasting two Primal Chaos Overlords. The family branch dispatched to Huyang City could also rank among the Five Great Families.

At this moment, within the large cave dwelling of the Meiwu Clan, the family's upper echelon had already gathered.

Eight figures sat around.

"Our Meiwu family branch in Huyang City has nine eternal true gods altogether, and now only eight remain!" the leading black-haired elder, whose body was sprouting some branches and leaves, said.

"Meiwu Qi was publicly executed! Luo He simply did not regard our Meiwu family at all; he did not even use a small Cosmic Domain to cover it up, killing Meiwu Qi in broad daylight in full view. For such an insult to our Meiwu family, he must die!" said a high-ranking clan member grimly, eyes full of murderous intent.

"We should invite an expert from our ancestral land to come and kill this Luo He."

They were a branch dispatched here, but in the distant ancestral lands, that's where the core of the Meiwu family lies! Nearly ten thousand eternal true gods, nurtured over endless years, included two Primal Chaos Overlords, all resided there.

The real elites of the Meiwu family indeed had entities more formidable than Moli Xiao.

"Fools! We can't let this matter leak to the ancestral land."

"You came to Huyang City just to revel in pleasures, as foolish as Meiwu Qi! How can we inform the ancestral land about this sort of matter?"

Several high-ranking clan members immediately rebuked angrily.

The leading black-haired elder nodded and said, "Meiwu Qi massacred hundreds of millions of citizens within the city! It is an irrefutable heinous crime! God Kings and Primal Chaos Overlords have decreed that the safety of the citizens within the cities be ensured. Thus, today's matter must absolutely not be reported!"

"Many things, if not escalated, remain minor issues. If our ancestors knew, each of us would be punished."

The eight senior members of the Meiwu family also understood that they were just a very marginal branch within the entire Meiwu clan. If they angered the elders, they might all be taken away to perform laborious and exhausting tasks, and the pleasure of enjoying life in Huyang City would fall into the hands of other branches of their clan.

"Publicly, we cannot pursue this matter. But secretly, we must let the entire Huyang City know that whoever dares to slap the face of the Five Great Families will pay a price!"

"Find a way to deal with him! Even if we can't kill him, we must force him into a miserable hiding, only lurking in the shadows, never daring to appear openly again."

"If this matter is not resolved, it's not just our Meiwu family that loses face. In the eyes of all parties in Huyang City... Luo He is seen as slapping the face of the entire Five Great Families. The other four families must also exert their effort."

As they discussed, they were engulfed in rage. After all, they had been high and mighty for too long and could not tolerate an eternal true god defying them like this.

Suddenly—

The face of the leading black-haired elder changed: "This is bad."

"What happened?" asked the other seven family seniors who were discussing.

"Luo He has gone mad!" the black-haired elder urgently said, "He has released the surviving hundreds of millions of citizens from Meiwu Qi's 'Sinful City' and set them free in Huyang City."
