Chapter 60: Chapter 57 Shang Tianyan's Decision

Inside the Flying Boat.Luo Feng watched the entire intelligence report in detail. The report contained a rather detailed introduction about 'Great General Yong Hu' and even covered the entire process of the Shi Kingdom's forces' attack! As a Guardian of a forbidden land, Luo Feng knew less than what was in this report.

"General Yong from the Yu Kingdom's Capital, cultivating unlimited godly bodies, has unfathomable strength. I didn't expect that even with the help of the grand formation in Huyang City, he was unable to kill Xue Yun," Luo Feng marveled internally.

After this battle, Divine Monarch Xue Yun's fame greatly increased.

Whether it was the Yu Kingdom or the Shi Kingdom, they would both value Divine Monarch Xue Yun even more! The next time Yu Kingdom made a move, they would only send a force stronger than 'General Yong'. The Shi Kingdom would also make even more effective use of Divine Monarch Xue Yun.

That was something Divine Monarch Xue Yun did not want to see, as his tasks would only become more burdensome and the dangers greater.

"On the side of the Shi Kingdom's forces, Xue Yun, Yutian Xu, Yutian Yi, all three of them are still alive. With the Shi Kingdom's style of doing things, they won't let this rest," Luo Feng immediately steered the Flying Boat straight to where General Yong and Xue Yun had clashed.

"Master, where are we going?" Morosa sensed that their course had changed.

"To where General Yong and Xue Yun clashed," Luo Feng said, while Morosa appeared thoughtful.

A moment later.

The Flying Boat soon reached the site of the battle. Luo Feng saw that a large number of Huyang Guards had gathered and already sealed off the area, preventing other citizens inside the city from approaching this place.

"Please leave immediately." Seeing a Flying Boat approaching, the Huyang Guards immediately came over to drive it away.

Luo Feng retracted the Flying Boat, his invisible Domain protected Moyu Qingyan, and naturally, Morosa did not need his protection.

The Huyang Guard squad preparing to drive them away was startled when they saw Luo Feng.

"Lord Luo He," the Huyang Guards were all quite respectful. They knew basic intelligence about all the eternal true gods in Huyang City, so they could recognize him at a glance.

When patrolling the whole city, they did not dare provoke eternal true gods. Otherwise, an eternal true god could use a small-scale Cosmic Domain to hide and silently eliminate them, and the city owner's mansion could not identify the murderer without paying a high price.

"I'll just take a look here," Luo Feng said. The Huyang Guards did not dare to speak further and immediately withdrew.

Luo Feng looked ahead.

Within the vast area sealed off by the Huyang Guards, there were many densely populated residential zones and some family cave mansions, but now the inside was desolate! All dead, without a single survivor!

Thick resentment gathered in this area. Over eighty billion True Gods were instantly killed, and the anger, unwillingness, despair, and hatred at the moment of their death... All kinds of intense will entangled together, forming a terrible malice.

With such resentment, the Huyang Guards only dared to seal off the outer perimeter. There would be eternal true gods to come and deal with this malice.

"This kind of thing is happening everywhere in the Land of Origin. Not just me, even a Godly King cannot change all this. This is the law of the survival of the fittest!" Luo Feng silently watched this scene.

Although there are laws, the restraining power of the laws is ultimately limited. Like when Primal Chaos Overlords devour the creatures of an entire large city, aren't they still at ease?

Even a Meiwu Qi who massacres citizens could escape the strict punishment of the laws if Luo Feng did not intervene.

"Brother Luo He," a tall figure flew over from afar.

Luo Feng turned to look, and the person approaching was Shang Tianyan. Usually full of enthusiasm, Shang Tianyan now had a trace of sorrow.

"You're here too," Luo Feng said to him.

"I'm here to bid farewell to my disciples," Shang Tianyan looked at the area where resentment soared to the sky, sighing, "Tonight, 8,039 of my Heavenly Flame Sect disciples died. They were living in this area."

Luo Feng was taken aback. After all, the Heavenly Flame Sect, established by Shang Tianyan over the long years, had numerous disciples, and it was normal to have over eight thousand in this area.

He had also lived in the Heavenly Flame Sect for a period of time, and maybe among these 8,039 disciples were some who had seen him from a distance.

"Most of these disciples were quite mediocre, but they were still very hard-working, trying to seize every opportunity," Shang Tianyan lamented, "In my Heavenly Flame Sect, as long as someone can pass the strict tests, anyone has the chance to become my Direct Disciple."

"Among these 8,039 disciples, there was one who was my Direct Disciple, named Meng Shi. Meng Shi lost his parents when he was just a child. He joined the Heavenly Flame Sect when he grew up, working extremely hard.

He learned every aspect of Artifact Refining diligently and finally became my Direct Disciple after passing the strict tests," Shang Tianyan recounted, "Who would have thought that tonight, he would be caught in the crossfire and die."

Luo Feng silently looked at the vast area now only filled with malice.

"I received intelligence that Shi Kingdom's leaders this time, Xue Yun, Yutian Xu, and Yutian Yi, are all still alive?" Shang Tianyan looked at Luo Feng, "The report states that Brother Luo He, you also took action this time?"

"I clashed with Yutian Yi; he is quite powerful. Yutian Xu will be even stronger!" Luo Feng said, "Especially Xue Yun, he's much stronger than what the previous reports stated."

"And he's much crazier than before!" Shang Tianyan looked at the area ahead, "In the past, he was very restrained and never carried out such indiscriminate slaughtering. But this time, it affected over eighty billion! And all three of them are still alive; I'm afraid there will be other actions!"

"The struggle between the Shi Kingdom and the Yu Kingdom will continue for a long time," Luo Feng said.

"Yes, it will continue indefinitely. This is my homeland, I really don't want to see it destroyed by the conflicts between the two countries," Shang Tianyan looked at the area.

Luo Feng and Shang Tianyan stood shoulder to shoulder, looking at the vast expanse.

After a long while, they parted and went their separate ways.

Not only Luo Feng and Shang Tianyan came here, but eternal true gods from all sides of Huyang City were shocked by this conflict! After all, while conflicts had always existed over the long term, they had never been so intense.

The appearance of General Yong and the strength and madness of Divine Monarch Xue Yun both made the various forces within the city tremble. Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The Heavenly Flame Sect.

Shang Tianyan had returned, and he summoned an old servant.

"Sect Leader," a metallic life-form greeted with respect.

"Uncle Qiu," Shang Tianyan smiled at him, "I need your help with something."

"Sect Leader, you always insist on being so courteous," Uncle Qiu grinned broadly, his golden face beaming with a smile.

Shang Tianyan looked at Uncle Qiu.

When he first returned alone to his hometown of Huyang City, he scoured the entire city, only to find his former family servant, Uncle Qiu. Later on, when he established the Heavenly Flame Sect, Uncle Qiu became the one he trusted the most, handling all sorts of big and small matters for the sect.

"This secret letter I've given you, once my cause and effect dissipates, you must immediately pass it on to the five individuals listed," Shang Tianyan said.

"Cause and effect dissipates?" The metallic life-form Uncle Qiu paused and looked at Shang Tianyan, "Sect Leader, you've always enjoyed teaching those disciples, always enjoyed making friends, this world is still wonderful and interesting, don't give up..."

"I'm not seeking death, I'm just preparing to do something quite dangerous," Shang Tianyan said.

"Dangerous? Sect Leader, must you do it?" Uncle Qiu looked at him.

"This matter is very meaningful," Shang Tianyan said with a brilliant smile, "After I returned to Huyang City, I hoped that every day henceforth would be meaningful. This matter, I must do it."

Having said that, Shang Tianyan turned and left.

"Sect Leader." Uncle Qiu watched the departing figure of Shang Tianyan, tears streaming down.

...

Dream Flower Tower.

Shang Tianyan had come here.

"Tianyan, why have you come?" Dream Flower Tower Master came to see him with a smile. As one of the two eternal true gods who were most infatuated with her in the entire city, the Dream Flower Tower Master still cared a lot about Shang Tianyan.

"Just wanted to see you," Shang Tianyan looked at the Dream Flower Tower Master.

The godly body of the Dream Flower Tower Master contained the Source of Law that she had comprehended. In her presence, one could naturally see the figure that most desired to be seen in their heart.

In Shang Tianyan's eyes, the Dream Flower Tower Master had already taken on the appearance of his wife, with the breath and smile of his wife.

"Just staring at me like this?" Dream Flower Tower Master laughed, "Shall I join you for a few drinks?"

"Sure," Shang Tianyan nodded with a smile.

"Do you know what happened tonight? That Divine Monarch Xue Yun slaughtered over eight billion creatures within Huyang City," Dream Flower Tower Master said in surprise, "It's really terrifying. The days to come in Huyang City will probably not be peaceful."

"It is terrifying," Shang Tianyan raised his glass, "Let's drink."

So they chatted intermittently, drinking wine.

Time passed without knowing how long, and Shang Tianyan bid his farewell and left.

The Dream Flower Tower Master personally saw him off.

"Strange."

Dream Flower Tower Master watched as Shang Tianyan disappeared into the night sky, slightly puzzled, "Shang Tianyan today, his words are different from usual." Then she thought no more of it and returned to her Dream Flower Tower.

...

Flying in the night sky.

Shang Tianyan looked at the bustling city, a place filled with many beautiful memories for him.

"All the treasures and Cosmic Sand I have in the Dark Hall, if I should die, please pass them to Lord Luo He," Shang Tianyan said upon seeing a distant ordinary cave mansion, immediately contacting the Flame Wind Association's Dark Hall.

Long ago, he had placed all his precious treasures and Cosmic Sand in the Flame Wind Association's Dark Hall.

Whoosh.

Shang Tianyan flew to the front of that cave mansion.

"Open the door," Shang Tianyan urged.

The door to the cave mansion opened, and Shang Tianyan flew in.

In the ordinary cave mansion, in front of a pavilion, Sang Shuiyun was sitting there, despondently drinking alone.

"You've come," Sang Shuiyun looked at him.

In the entire Huyang City, only Shang Tianyan could easily enter Sang Shuiyun's mansion.

"Hmm," Shang Tianyan also sat down next to him.

"Join me in a drink," Sang Shuiyun tossed a wine flask over.

Shang Tianyan caught the wine flask and looked at it, "Brother Sang, back then you and I were both alone in Huyang City. Seeing you, I feel as if I'm looking at my own shadow. You, like me, are infatuated with the Dream Flower Tower Master. You, like me, are unattached to anything..."

"No, you have attachments. You established the Heavenly Flame Sect and trained a large number of Artifact Refining Disciples," Sang Shuiyun said.

"I always thought you were just like me," Shang Tianyan looked at Sang Shuiyun.

"We are indeed the same; you are also my only friend in Huyang City," Sang Shuiyun looked at him, "Even considered my only friend in this world."

"Actually, you and I are different," Shang Tianyan said softly, "I gradually realized that you are indifferent to everything. You wouldn't care even if the world was destroyed. Even if it came to me, if you wanted to kill, you would not hesitate."

Sang Shuiyun frowned as he looked at him, "Brother Shang, what are you talking about?"

"In the entire Huyang City, the only one you can't fool is me," Shang Tianyan looked at Sang Shuiyun, "I really didn't want to expose you if you hadn't started to go mad."

Sang Shuiyun fell silent as he looked at him, his eyes growing cold.

"Divine Monarch Xue Yun, I'm not mistaken, am I?" Shang Tianyan looked at him.
