Chapter 43: Chapter 40 This Night

Outside the Dream Flower Tower."Brother Luo He, after all, the Five Great Families rule over the entire Huyang City. They will surely have some countermeasures, so you must be cautious," Zhu You advised.

"I understand," Luo Feng nodded.

Zhu You smiled and nodded, "Then, I'll take my leave."

Immediately thereafter, Zhu You and his subordinates rode a black Flying Boat and disappeared into the night sky.

Luo Feng watched as they departed.

"Master, shall we return now?" Morosa asked from the side.

"I have one more thing to do," Luo Feng instantly soared into the sky, flying high into the night, a scene that caused both Morosa and Moyu Qingyan some confusion.

Luo Feng flipped his hand, and a miniature city 'Sinful City' appeared in his palm. Looking at the densely packed population of over a hundred million citizens within the Sinful City, Luo Feng shook his head slightly; he knew his ability to help was limited.

"These one hundred and eighty million citizens, having survived torture, many are mentally twisted, chaotic, or insane," Luo Feng looked at the miniature city in his hand, "The Five Great Families knew of Meiwu Qi's evil but have always condoned it, helping to cover up his tracks. These one hundred and eighty million citizens, each one of them is a living testimony!"

Luo Feng was well aware that if the population of over a hundred million appeared in some wilderness, the Five Great Families would probably quietly eliminate them.

But if over a hundred million citizens were to appear publicly within Huyang City and were discovered by the large population of Huyang City, innumerable people would become aware, making it hard to cover up. The Five Great Families would instead have to handle the matter with utmost care, ensuring the situation was dealt with perfectly.

"Come out," with Sinful City in hand, Luo Feng released the massive population.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~

Countless figures were seen being ejected from the Sinful City, landing in various places around them.

The area where the Dream Flower Tower was located happened to be a bustling district within Huyang City. There were also many Myriad Clans' Cultivators indulging in the pleasures of the city, and they all saw a large number of figures descending from the night sky.

"What's happening? These descending True Gods seem off," the surrounding Myriad Clans' Cultivators could tell at a glance that the True Gods falling from the sky had abnormal looks and auras in their eyes.

Moreover, the space-time suppression in the Land of Origin is too strong; True Gods are unable to fly on their own, and now with over a hundred million True Gods descending from the sky, attention was naturally drawn to them.

All one hundred and eighty million citizens landed, scattering over a vast area.

"Where is this?"

The over a hundred million citizens looked around in bewilderment at the bustling city, so beautiful and peaceful, countless times more so than the 'Sinful City.'

"I am Luo He! The Meiwu Qi whom you deeply despised, I have already killed," a powerful voice spread far and wide, and all one hundred eighty million citizens heard it, as did countless Myriad Clans' Cultivators in the surrounding vast areas, "Meiwu Qi tortured and killed hundreds of millions of citizens, leaving only you one hundred eighty million survivors. Sёarᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

As victims, I believe the city owners mansion will take care of you and make amends!"

Luo Feng's voice, empowered by Divine Power, reached a far too great area, even tens of billions of Myriad Clans' Cultivators in the surrounding districts could hear it clearly.

"Meiwu Qi is killed? Hundreds of millions of citizens were tortured to death?"

"What happened?"

True Gods from their residences stepped out of their houses, looking towards the source of the voice and also towards that figure in the distant night sky.

The figure with black hair and sharp horns was indeed Luo Feng!

This figure, remembered firmly by Sinful City's surviving population of over a hundred million and the tens of billions of Myriad Clans' Cultivators.

"Something big happened in Huyang City! There was someone named Meiwu Qi who tortured and killed hundreds of millions of Cultivators, and the remaining one hundred eighty million were saved by Lord Luo He," the ordinary True Gods were all stunned, immediately using their transmission tokens to contact their friends and discuss the matter.

Tens of billions of Cultivators spread the word, and soon the entire Huyang City would be abuzz with the news.

Luo Feng watched this scene from the night sky, observing the many survivors who were somewhat insane.

"City owners mansion and the Five Great Families, when the matter cannot be concealed, let's see how you deal with it," Luo Feng muttered silently, without the Five Great Families' indulgence, Meiwu Qi couldn't have gone this far.

Originally, Luo Feng was somewhat inclined towards the city owners mansion, but because of this incident, Luo Feng felt a disgust towards the Five Great Families as well.

A bunch of scoundrels!

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

In the night sky, squads of Huyang Guards were shuttling through the Void, arriving in the blink of an eye—millions of Huyang Guards, with even more continuously on their way.

"Meiwu Qi privately abducted hundreds of millions of citizens from 'Fang Jiu City', tortured many, and was discovered by Lord Luo He and has been executed. All abducted citizens, please rest assured, the city owners mansion will make amends to each one of you!

And the city owners mansion will also hold the Meiwu Family responsible," announced a Leader of Huyang Guard in the high sky, his powerful voice spreading far and wide.

The city owners mansion, which monitors the entire city, had already locked on to every one of the one hundred and eighty million citizens released by Luo Feng.

The Huyang Guards actively went to guide them.

"The city owners mansion has already arranged residences for you; rest assured, you will be able to live in Huyang City from now on, and you will be forever exempt from the Residence Fee," these Huyang Guards were ordered to act, treating each citizen with utmost care.

"Forever exempt from the Residence Fee?" The surviving citizens who had lived through it all were somewhat taken aback.

...

Watching this unfold, Luo Feng said, "Let's go, we're heading back."

"Alrighty," Morosa's eyes lit up, anticipating the joyful moments to come!

Moyu Qingyan, who followed behind, was adjusting her emotions, "The Master I follow publicly killed a Leader of Huyang Guard 'Qianyu Chong', and also killed the eternal true god of the Five Great Families, Meiwu Qi! The Heiming Legion watched and didn't dare to intervene...

And just now, the Sinful City's over a hundred million True Gods were released by the Master, and the city owners mansion pushed the blame onto Meiwu Qi, not faulting the Master at all?"

If he passed the test, he hoped to become a disciple.

"The apprenticeship opportunity my father sought, but this future Master of mine, I find him difficult to read; I only know he is very strong and also compassionate to the weak," thought Moyu Qingyan, her admiration for Luo Feng growing even more.

...

Massive numbers of Huyang Guards shuttled through the Void to arrive, and they were all guiding those Sinful City survivors.

As one of the ten leaders of the Huyang Guard, "Gaowu Shui" was naturally present.

"I have no way to deal with Meiwu Qi, but Lord Luo He openly killed him, and not even the Heiming Legion dared to stop him." Gaowu Shui also felt a great deal of shock at this moment.

He realized the importance of strength.

"With great power, openly killing Meiwu Qi, even the city owner's mansion has to endure it."

"As a newly promoted eternal true god with weak power, even taking on the position of Leader of Huyang Guard, I need my master's help." The joy Gaowu Shui had felt at advancing to an eternal true god had already faded.

He realized that, while they were both eternal true gods, the disparity between them was shockingly huge.

The ones standing at the very pinnacle of Huyang City were his Master Moli Xiao, the leader of Shi Kingdom's Forces, Divine Monarch Xue Yun, and this Lord Luo He...

"I am still very weak, very weak." Gaowu Shui turned his head to oversee the Huyang Guards working below him. The task of settling the hundreds of millions of citizens from Sinful City was not to be taken lightly.

******

In a short time, all the major powers within Huyang City knew what had happened.

At the very top of Sky Cloud Tower.

Chairman Zan Yun looked down upon the vast city that was shrouded in clouds and mists, flipped his hand, and took out a transmission token.

"Divine Monarch Xue Yun," Chairman Zan Yun initiated contact, with a tone somewhat humbler.

On the surface, he was just conducting regular business, not participating in any killings. Therefore, the city owner's mansion could tolerate his existence. After all, as a large border trade city, it naturally had to accommodate many business forces from the neighboring "Shi Kingdom."

Chairman Zan Yun was very clear that in the eyes of the Marquis, his role was not highly valued.

It was the super-strong like Divine Monarch Xue Yun who were the Marquis' confidants.

"Chairman Zan Yun, contacting me suddenly, do you have something to say?" Divine Monarch Xue Yun responded.

"I had visited Luo He before, and he paid little attention to me, yet he had quite a few dealings with the city owner's mansion," said Chairman Zan Yun, "But the incident tonight shows that there has been a rift between Lord Luo He and the city owner's mansion!"

Divine Monarch Xue Yun transmitted, "This Lord Luo He is a loner, with no attachments. From his actions, he shows a hatred for evil, acting immediately when provoked. With our way of doing things, he will also view us as enemies."

Chairman Zan Yun was taken aback.

Yes, the forces of Shi Kingdom acted ruthlessly – even more notorious than Meiwu Qi in causing trouble.

"Wait patiently for our opportunity, the Five Great Families of Huyang won't endure this silently," transmitted Divine Monarch Xue Yun. "And from the current intelligence, Lord Luo He is very strong, no less than me! Once they fight, it's likely they will both struggle to handle each other."

"Lord Luo He, not inferior to you, Divine Monarch Xue Yun?" Chairman Zan Yun was quite astonished, knowing full well the might of Divine Monarch Xue Yun.

In his view, one-on-one, Divine Monarch Xue Yun should be even stronger than Commander Moli Xiao.

After all, Commander Moli Xiao led legions and had the grand formation of Huyang City to bolster his strength. Despite several confrontations, he could not capture Divine Monarch Xue Yun.

"Yes, he is very powerful." Divine Monarch Xue Yun affirmed, "Defeating Purple Jade Gen is not difficult, but what's hard to believe is... his hand pierced through the body of Purple Jade Gen! And Purple Jade Gen is a legion-class mechanical treasure. Moli Xiao must have also realized the terrifying aspect of this Lord Luo He."

...

Flame Wind Pavilion.

"A single hand piercing through the body of Purple Jade Gen, such strong power," the Master of the Flame Wind Pavilion looked forward with anticipation, "Now, what I'm most looking forward to is the outcome of 'Ying Cang' going against this Lord Luo He."

A nearby figure shrouded in grey mist commented admiringly, "Ying Cang is renowned, having killed many powerful beings—even offspring of the Primal Chaos Overlord—and still lives to this day, his strength is indeed terrifying. This battle will surely be spectacular."

The Master of the Flame Wind Pavilion shook his head and lamented, "It's a pity we can't see the details of this battle."

...

Right now, Flame Wind Pavilion was the only place in the whole of Huyang City that knew Lord Luo He was about to face an assassination.

Outside Cave mansion no. 913 of the Primal Chaos Armor, in the night sky, a grey-robed figure was concealed.

Ying Cang was waiting there.

"He went to Dream Flower Tower, but in the end, he must return to the cave mansion. The moment he returns to the cave mansion is when his guard is down, and it will be the time for me to make my move," Ying Cang murmured to himself.

If one was to assassinate Luo Feng, the Flame Wind Pavilion would be commissioned for detailed intelligence.

Any movement Luo Feng made, once spotted by Flame Wind Pavilion, would be communicated to Ying Cang.

This service was expensive, but Ying Cang did not care.

"This Luo He is quite compassionate to the weak, turning against the Five Great Families of Huyang for the sake of those slaughtered weaklings," Ying Cang read the intel provided by Flame Wind Pavilion and found it amusing, "This Luo He and I have different characters. I quietly kill my targets, leaving no trace whatsoever. He, on the other hand, is brazen!

He publicly launched his attack in front of the Huyang Legion."

"One hand pierced through the body of Purple Jade Gen? He is quite strong indeed. I wonder if he can withstand my stealth assassination," Ying Cang was unconcerned. The Mechanical Flow Secret Treasures from the Huyang Guard he simply disregarded.

He waited patiently.

Time was passing, and Ying Cang was very patient.

Suddenly—

A Flying Boat descended swiftly from high in the sky toward the cave mansion. As it neared, the door of the mansion opened automatically.

"He's back." Stowing away the Flying Boat, Luo Feng, Morosa, and Moyu Qingyan flew down together.
