“My recommendation is, help out with the easy tasks to get some benefits! But when it comes to big trouble, it’s better not to get involved,” Zhu You said, “Preserving oneself is more important.”

“Makes sense,” Luo Feng nodded.

“In the entire Huyang City, besides the city owner’s mansion, the Five Great Families, and the forces of the Shi Kingdom, there are still our third-party forces,” Zhu You said quietly with a smile, “In terms of the number of eternal true gods and the most top-notch powerhouses, it is our native families and local forces that are truly the strongest.”

Luo Feng nodded slightly, his stance seemingly relaxed, but he acknowledged the substantial overall strength, among which many hidden dragons and crouching tigers lay hidden.

“Brother Luo He, you are not a member of the Five Great Families. Even if you align with them, you are just working for them. The Shi Kingdom’s Forces care even less about the lives of their henchmen,” Zhu You looked at Luo Feng, “You were born to be on our side.”

“There’s truth in that,” Luo Feng nodded.

Zhu You laughed heartily upon hearing this: “We are the true force to reckon with! What difference does it make to us native families and native forces, no matter who rules over Huyang City?”

“To the Godly King and Primal Chaos Overlord, perhaps they care deeply about the loss of offerings. But for us, it’s all the same, we still have to pay a hefty fee.”

“So no matter how fiercely the city owner’s mansion and the Shi Kingdom’s Forces fight, we all need to cherish our own lives,” Zhu You shook his head, “They have never cared about our life and death.”

Luo Feng nodded: “Brother Zhu You speaks wisely.”

“As long as we are united enough, we will be the strongest force! Both the city owner’s mansion and the Shi Kingdom’s Forces can only try to bribe us, but dare not coerce us,” Zhu You said with evident confidence.

Suddenly——

A powerful disturbance faintly arose from the outside world.

“What’s going on?” Luo Feng and Zhu You looked through the hall doors and saw that in the distant sky appeared a Three-Sword Sky-Splitting Beast, and riding on the surface of the beast was the leader of the Huyang Guard, ‘Gaowu Shui.’

…

Meiwu Qi and Jiang Chengyou arrived at the entrance of the hall with some confusion, and upon seeing the Mechanical Flow Secret Treasure ‘Three-Sword Sky-Splitting Beast’ descending outside the grand hall, they sensed ill intentions.

“The Dream Flower Tower is a place of enjoyment, yet Commander Gaowu has come with the Three-Sword Sky-Splitting Beast,” Meiwu Qi looked at Gaowu Shui, “Commander Gaowu, what brings you here?”

“Commander Gaowu, come in and have a drink, the rest of the Huyang Guards can rest alongside, my treat,” the blue-haired man Jiang Chengyou said with a smile.

Gaowu Shui spoke coldly: “Meiwu Qi, the Huyang Guard has received evidence of your crime in capturing a large number of citizens of Huyang City, and of tormenting and murdering them! Now, you need to come with me to the Huyang Guard headquarters.”

The blue-haired man was shocked.

However, Meiwu Qi’s face darkened, and as his aura stirred, the night seemed to grow darker; he spoke hoarsely, “Commander Gaowu, I am Meiwu Qi of the Meiwu Family, are you sure you want to arrest me?”

“Isn’t there some kind of misunderstanding?” Jiang Chengyou also chimed in.

“It is my duty as a member of the Huyang Guard to arrest you,” Gaowu Shui said, looking at Meiwu Qi, “Meiwu Qi, come with me!”

“You rely on us, the Five Great Families, but now you turn against us and bite the hand that feeds you?” Meiwu Qi sneered, “Gaowu Shui, I’ll report this to the city owner’s mansion right now. I want to see how they deal with this.”

“How the city owner’s mansion deals with me is a matter for the future. Now, you need to come with me,” Gaowu Shui said coldly, “I am going to count to three, and if you resist, I will have no choice but to take action by force.”

“Three, two…” Gaowu Shui did not waver.

“Boom——”

A deep purple serpentine Exotic Beast wove through the Void and appeared out of nowhere above the Dream Flower Tower, causing many patrons of the establishment to exclaim in surprise.

Luo Feng and Zhu You also watched all this from afar.

“Commander Gaowu really is formidable; he’s starting to arrest the eternal true gods of the Five Great Families,” the deep purple serpentine Exotic Beast descended slowly, and atop the beast appeared a figure in armor.

“Even Royal Descendants and descendants of the Primal Chaos Clan must abide by the laws of the Yu Kingdom,” Gaowu Shui said coldly, “This Meiwu Qi’s sins are grievous; he has wrought havoc within Huyang City for many years, harming countless citizens, and his behavior outside Huyang City has been even more unrestrained.

Just during the attack on ‘Fang Jiu City’ by the Exotic Beast horde, he kidnapped billions of citizens. The number of citizens he has tortured and killed tallies in the billions! How can such transgressions be taken lightly?”

“You’re slandering me! As a member of the Five Great Families, how could I act so recklessly?” Meiwu Qi retorted angrily.

The armored figure chuckled lightly: “It’s often that rumors and slander against the members of the Five Great Families occur. Commander Gaowu is after all new to his role as the Leader of the Huyang Guard and lacks experience.”

“Whether it is slander, he first needs to come with me to the Huyang Guard headquarters, after we confirm the truth, a decision will be made,” Gaowu Shui said.

The armored figure stood next to Meiwu Qi, with the serpentine Exotic Beast’s figure behind him: “Commander Gaowu, all you need to do is submit the evidence to the city owner’s mansion. They will naturally verify the truth of the evidence, and how to punish will also be decided by them. You need not intervene anymore.”

Gaowu Shui had anticipated encountering significant resistance, but he hadn’t expected that he wouldn’t even be able to take the first step of ‘taking Meiwu Qi away.’

“Commander Gaowu, there’s no need for you to interfere with Meiwu Qi’s matter any longer. Return immediately to the Huyang Guard headquarters and submit all the evidence of the crimes you’ve discovered,” came an order from the city owner’s mansion.

Gaowu Shui felt a chill in his heart and sighed inwardly.

“Even if I bring him back to the Huyang Guard headquarters, I’m afraid I won’t be able to harm him in the least,” Gaowu Shui thought to himself.

Without a verdict from the city owner’s mansion, he dared not kill a member of the Five Great Families who was an eternal true god. If he dared to do so, even his master, Moli Xiao, wouldn’t be able to protect him.

His experience in his youth indeed made him detest evil. But he would not accompany Meiwu Qi to the grave over it.

“I will submit the evidence, and I believe the city owner’s mansion will deliver a fair punishment!” Gaowu Shui glanced at Meiwu Qi, then turned and flew into the Three-Sword Sky-Splitting Beast.

Whoosh!

The Three-Sword Sky-Splitting Beast immediately shot through the Void and away.

“Hahaha…” Meiwu Qi finally relaxed completely and started laughing. “This Gaowu Shui is such an idiot. He still wants to catch me?”

…

Luo Feng, watching all this from a distance, was somewhat surprised.

“Brother Zhu You, is what that Commander Gaowu just said true? Fang Jiu City was breached by a horde of Exotic Beasts, and countless citizens were captured by this Meiwu Qi?” Luo Feng asked. “He’s tormented and killed a countless number of citizens?”

This number indeed shocked Luo Feng.

After all, the laws of Yu Kingdom were quite strict on the surface.

“It’s indeed true. You’ll know if you stay in Huyang City for a long time. Meiwu Qi is notoriously insane,” Zhu You said. “In his Secret Treasure ‘Sinful City,’ countless innocent citizens are imprisoned and tormented to death. Over the long years, it’s indeed impossible to count.”

“The Five Great Families just let him be?” Luo Feng frowned.

“The Five Great Families can restrain many Dark Forces and can be ruthless if someone crosses the line. But they can’t be ruthless towards their own people,” Zhu You shook his head. “The insanity of Meiwu Qi has plenty of evidence! If you don’t believe me, you can buy information from the Flame Wind Pavilion.”

Luo Feng was looking into the distance, where Meiwu Qi was talking and laughing with another Leader of the Huyang Guard.

“I want to buy all the evidence of Meiwu Qi’s crimes,” Luo Feng said through the transmission token, contacting the Flame Wind Association’s Dark Hall.

“All evidence of Meiwu Qi’s crimes requires one Cosmic Sand,” the Dark Hall responded.

“Purchase.”

After Luo Feng bought it, the Flame Wind Association’s Dark Hall sent him the detailed evidence.

This evidence turned Luo Feng’s face cold. Meiwu Qi was even more mad than he had imagined. He was a total lunatic with an utterly twisted and maniacal heart, tormenting those innocent citizens to create sufficiently powerful twisted souls through ‘torment and trampling.’

“Using suffering to create strong twisted souls, according to the records of the Dark Hall of the Flame Wind Pavilion, he has sixteen outstanding works. Sixteen True Gods with tormented twisted souls and wills that match eternal true gods,” Luo Feng said softly.

“He even once brought his works to show off in front of me,” Zhu You sighed.

“The Flame Wind Pavilion also has a bounty on him,” Luo Feng found out about the bounty on Meiwu Qi.

The bounty was merely 20,000 Cosmic Sands.

It was probably someone who really disliked him who spent the Cosmic Sand to offer the bounty.

“Accept the mission,” Luo Feng decided, taking on the task of assassinating Meiwu Qi.

“Forget about these things. There are so many dark matters on the Land of Origin, many of which we can do nothing about,” Zhu You said. “It’s already not easy for our own families to survive.”

Luo Feng stood up. “Brother Zhu You has family concerns, but I am unencumbered. If this matter is brought before me and I turn a blind eye, my heart won’t be at peace!”

“These filths ought to be wiped clean!”

With one step, Luo Feng, whoosh, had already left the hall and was heading straight for where Meiwu Qi was.
