Chapter 71: Chapter 65 Marquis of Jiu Jiang Bestows Grace

Luo Feng had not yet returned to Huyang City, but news of “Xue Yun’s assassination” had already reached Huyang City ahead of him.

Inside the entire Huyang City, all clients of the Flame Wind Association’s Dark Hall received a message: The assassination task of Divine Monarch Xue Yun had been completed!

Inside the city owner’s mansion.

“It’s done?” Moli Meng exclaimed.

“This… this…” Wu Qulou, although also anticipating this outcome, still couldn’t believe it when the news from the Flame Wind Association’s Dark Hall came in, “They really killed Xue Yun!”

The Lord of Huyang City remarked, “Initially, we even thought about teaching Luo He a lesson, looking back now, it’s fortunate we did not act!”

“Luo He’s strength is indeed above mine,” said General Yong seriously from the side, “Looking across all the eternal true gods in the entire Yu Kingdom, only a few could compare with him. As for surpassing him? The Yu Kingdom… has no stronger eternal true god than him now!”

The leaders of the Five Great Families were all shocked.

These branches of great clans that had come to Huyang City held a lower status within their respective clans.

One of the pinnacle eternal true gods in the entire Yu Kingdom? That was a presence cherished by the Godly Kings, nurtured with ample resources, bright and shining! How could these family branches compare?

“Xue Yun is not an unlimited godly body, but his realm was immensely high. I really didn’t expect Luo He could actually kill him.” General Yong had confronted Xue Yun before and was well aware of Xue Yun’s strength.

“Should we go outside the city to meet him?” Moli Meng suddenly asked.

“Of course we should greet him!” the Lord of Huyang laughed loudly, “From now on, Lord Luo He will be the most important friend of our city owner’s mansion.”

“I will also go to greet him,” said General Yong, who admired the strong.

“Let’s go.”

The leaders of the Five Great Families, General Yong, and Moli Meng, seven individuals in total, immediately left the city owner’s mansion and used void shuttling to arrive directly at the East City Gate, patiently waiting for the soon-to-return Lord Luo He

…

At this moment, the hearts of all eternal true gods within Huyang City were passionately stirred.

In the Liu Yin Primal Chaos State of Shi Kingdom, two of the ‘Five Gods of Yutian’—Yutian Xu, Yutian Yi—had been assassinated one after another, impacting over eighty billion creatures. Now, the ‘Divine Monarch Xue Yun’, with a bounty as high as ten million cosmic sand, was also killed, all on this very night!

“Ten million cosmic sand!”

“Who could have killed Xue Yun? A strong figure from the city owner’s mansion, or some mysterious strong figure?”

“The bounty just increased tonight, and Xue Yun, Yutian Xu, Yutian Yi, the three of them are all dead. The reward really works indeed.”

“It seems that Huyang City harbors a terrifying being, someone who can be motivated to act if there’s enough reward.”

All the eternal true gods were astonished and also filled with reverence! They would have to act more carefully in Huyang City from now on, not be too reckless. If they inadvertently offended the terrifying being who killed Xue Yun, they feared they wouldn’t withstand even a single move.

…

Inside the Heavenly Flame Sect, many disciples were still grieving in the square, lamenting their powerlessness and mourning the unshakable ‘Divine Monarch Xue Yun’. As their sorrow had not yet subsided, good news arrived.

The Divine Monarch Xue Yun, with a bounty of ten million cosmic sand, was killed!

“Xue Yun is dead?”

“Haha… That old demon finally died!”

“Master, Xue Yun is dead!”

“Master, fellow brothers and sisters, your vengeance has finally been avenged!”

The entire Heavenly Flame Sect was exhilarated, and some disciples who had been packing their belongings returned to the square, overwhelmed with excitement.

“Sect Leader, Xue Yun is dead.” Uncle Qiu knew the news and also cried excitedly, well aware of what the sect leader had sacrificed his life for.

The efforts of the sect leader had paid off!

…

“Sang Shuiyun is dead?” The Dream Flower Tower Master sat alone in her small tower, her expression complicated.

This night was too dreamlike.

Shang Tianyan and Sang Shuiyun, who had been infatuated with her, were both dead.

A Flying Boat arrived near the East City Gate of Huyang City.

“Here they come.” The seven figures from the city owner’s side had long been waiting.

“Hmm?”

Luo He, alongside Morosa, disembarked from the Flying Boat.

“Lord Luo He,” the Lord of Huyang approached enthusiastically, “In one night, you have killed two of the Five Gods of Yutian and also Divine Monarch Xue Yun, resolving a major disaster for our Huyang City.”

Luo Feng said, “Thanks to the Karmic Tracing Order left by Brother Shang, otherwise, Xue Yun would have fled to Shi Kingdom long ago.”

“Xue Yun was indeed cunning,” Moli Xiao added, “He had been hiding his strength all along, and as soon as his identity was exposed, he immediately sought refuge. Fortunately, Lord Luo He took action and completely eliminated him.”

“Brother Luo He, with your success this time, I too consider my mission accomplished,” General Yong said smilingly, “After returning to the Royal Capital, I will surely report Brother Luo He’s achievements to the Godly King.” Of course, when he reported the news, he had no idea when the Godly King would respond.

“We have already reported Brother Luo He’s significant achievements to the Marquis,” the Lord of Huyang City said, “I believe the Marquis will definitely reward him generously.”

Huyang City lies within the territory of the Marquis of Jiu Jiang.

“Thank you all,” Luo Feng said.

If he could gain some benefits from the Godly King of Yu Kingdom or the Marquis of Jiu Jiang, Luo Feng naturally would not refuse as he, currently weak… needed all resources to grow as swiftly as possible.

“It’s all part of our duty,” the Lord of Huyang City said, “Whenever you need anything in Huyang City in the future, Brother Luo He, just send a message.”

“Brother Luo He, if you are seeking cultivation resources or some opportunities, you should head to the Royal Capital,” General Yong said.

“Thank you, General Yong,” Luo Feng felt the goodwill from the other.

But he had no intention of cultivating right under the eyes of a Godly King while he was weak. Once Morosa’s identity was exposed, he would immediately become the public enemy of the entire Land of Origin, so it was wise to be cautious during his weaker phase.

“Gentlemen, I will make a trip to the Flame Wind Pavilion first, so I’ll take my leave now,” Luo Feng said.

“Please.”

All seven of them were quite enthusiastic, including the leaders of the Meiwu Family and the Wu Royal Family who did not mind the past conflict that arose from the killing of Meiwu Qi.

When one’s strength was sufficient, even smashed teeth had to be swallowed.

They were well aware that in the eyes of the Godly Kings and Primal Chaos Overlords, the value of Divine Monarch Luo He far exceeded all their border branches combined.

…

Inside a cultivation chamber within Jiu Jiang City of Jiu Jiang Primal Chaos Prefecture.

“In my territory, such a formidable eternal true god has emerged,” the Marquis of Jiu Jiang sat on the floor, with silver hair draped over his shoulders, each strand faintly encompassing endless Void, causing the surrounding Void to twist completely.

“Marquis Liu Yin is closing in step by step, and the Huyang City, which is closest to the border, is likely his first target. Luckily, Luo He has appeared at this time,” Marquis of Jiu Jiang contemplated.

He too was a Primal Chaos Overlord who had cultivated for extended eons and had comprehended the supreme rules of the Origin Great Dao. Although he was still far from reaching a ‘Godly King’, he nonetheless had deep accumulations and terrifying strength.

But Marquis Liu Yin, ranked among the top five Primal Chaos Overlords within the Shi Kingdom, indeed had an edge over him, naturally putting him under great pressure.

“This Luo He has accomplished such great feats in my territory; I naturally have to reward him heavily. And I must also report to the Monarch,” thought the Marquis of Jiu Jiang, “The Monarch has always liked to nurture the younger generations. Because of my report… Luo He will receive the Monarch’s cultivation, and he should remember this favor.”

The Marquis of Jiu Jiang was well aware that such a level of eternal true gods, even if they were to follow someone, would definitely choose among the five Godly Kings of Yu Kingdom. Only a fool would choose him, the Marquis.

Whether in terms of heritage, resources, or backing, a Godly King was a whole major level stronger than a Primal Chaos Overlord.

To make Luo He grateful and willing to help him protect Huyang City, he naturally had to bestow favors!

There were three large cities in the entire territory, and the continuous ‘residence fees’ and other resources from a large city were very important to the Marquis of Jiu Jiang.

“Monarch,” the Marquis of Jiu Jiang immediately contacted the Monarch of Yu Kingdom.

Though Yu Kingdom had five Godly Kings, only the one who established Yu Kingdom was referred to by the Primal Chaos Overlords as ‘Monarch of Yu Kingdom’. With Shi Kingdom’s nature of encroachment, they had never initiated a Godly King-level confrontation because the Monarch of Yu Kingdom was too terrifying.

“Jiu Jiang, why have you contacted me?” A voice came from afar, and a vague figure covered in hair directly appeared in the Marquis of Jiu Jiang’s mind.

The Marquis of Jiu Jiang was much more respectful.

The Monarch of Yu Kingdom, viewed across the entire Land of Origin, was an extremely terrifying existence.

“Monarch, I’ve discovered a young fellow named Luo He in my territory of Huyang City,” began the Marquis of Jiu Jiang, his high status allowing him direct contact with the Monarch.

Luo Feng was unaware that the Marquis of Jiu Jiang was planning benefits for him; he, along with Morosa, had already arrived at a small building within the Flame Wind Pavilion.

“Brother Luo He, I admire you greatly,” the Deputy Pavilion Master said, his eyes, formed of condensed mist, looking at Luo Feng with a grin. The Master of the Flame Wind Pavilion also spoke, “Brother Luo He, did you bring any proof of killing Xue Yun?”

Luo Feng extended his hand, holding the corpse of Xue Yun.

The master and deputy master of the Flame Wind Pavilion closely examined the body, from which many details could be discerned. A hole was present in the chest of the body, and the True God’s Heart was missing.

“Again, he seized the True God’s Heart. Does he have some Void-class killing move that can directly extract the heart?” These two descendants of the Emperor Chu lineage from the Flame Wind Ancient Country, experienced and knowledgeable, speculated wildly.

“That should prove it, right?” Luo Feng said.

“Of course it does,” the deputy master chuckled, “Yutian Xu and Yutian Yi’s bounties—are you taking them together?”

“Of course,” Luo Feng took out Yutian Xu’s weapon and Yutian Yi’s Mechanical Flow Secret Treasure.

“Here is thirteen million Cosmic Sand.” The deputy master took out the bounty that had been prepared earlier, which the task setters had deposited at the Flame Wind Pavilion.

Luo Feng received the jade vial, feeling the massive amount of Cosmic Sand inside, and knew he could be more extravagant in his upcoming days of cultivation.

After collecting the bounty, Luo Feng planned to leave.

“Brother Luo He,” the Master of the Flame Wind Pavilion began with a smile, “Allow me to introduce myself. I come from the Emperor Chu lineage of the Flame Wind Ancient Country, named ‘Emperor Chu Yu’. Meeting Brother Luo He in Huyang City of Yu Kingdom is also a kind of fate.”

“The Emperor Chu lineage of the Flame Wind Ancient Country?” Luo Feng, not just any ignorant cultivator, possessing inheritance from two lineages, was very aware of what the Emperor Chu lineage from the Flame Wind Ancient Country represented.
