# Chapter 42: This Night

Outside Dreamflower Pavilion.

“Brother Luo He, the Five Great Clans ultimately rule the entire Huoyang City. They will certainly have backup plans, so you must be careful,” Zhu You urged.

“I know,” Luo Feng nodded.

Zhu You smiled and nodded. “Then, farewell.”

Immediately, Zhu You, with his subordinates, boarded a black flying ship and vanished into the night sky.

Luo Feng watched them depart.

“Master, shall we return now?” Mo Luosa asked from the side.

“I have one more matter to attend to.” Luo Feng instantly soared into the sky, flying high into the night, a scene that puzzled both Mo Luosa and Mo Yuqingyan.

With a flip of his hand, a miniature city, “City of Sin,” appeared in Luo Feng’s palm. Looking at the densely packed population of over a hundred million citizens within, Luo Feng shook his head slightly, realizing the limits of what he could do.

“These one hundred and eighty million citizens, having endured torment to survive until now, have suffered many who are mentally twisted, chaotic, and even insane,” Luo Feng gazed at the miniature city in his palm. “The Five Great Clans knew of Mei Wuqi’s wickedness, yet continuously condoned and concealed it. These one hundred and eighty million citizens are each living proof of their crimes!”

Luo Feng was well aware that if a hundred million citizens appeared in some remote wilderness, the Five Great Clans would likely quietly eliminate them.

However, if a hundred million citizens openly appeared within Huoyang City, discovered by countless residents, and the truth became widely known, it would be difficult to conceal. The Five Great Clans would instead have to handle the matter with extreme care, striving for perfection.

“Come forth,” Luo Feng, holding the City of Sin, released the vast number of citizens.

*Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…*

Countless figures were seen being carried out from the City of Sin, landing in various locations around the area.

The area surrounding Dreamflower Pavilion was a particularly bustling district of Huoyang City, frequented by countless cultivators of various races seeking enjoyment. They all witnessed the numerous figures descending from the night sky.

“What’s happening? These descending True Gods seem… off,” the surrounding cultivators could tell at a glance that the True Gods falling from the sky had abnormal gazes and auras.

Furthermore, the Origin Continent’s spacetime suppression was too strong; True Gods couldn’t fly on their own. The descent of hundreds of millions of True Gods from the sky naturally attracted attention.

All one hundred and eighty million citizens landed, scattered across a vast area.

“Where is this?”

These hundreds of millions of citizens dazedly looked around. This incredibly prosperous city was so beautiful and peaceful, many times more beautiful than the City of Sin.

“I am Luo He! Mei Wuqi, whom you all deeply hate, has already been slain by me!” A resounding voice echoed down, reaching all one hundred and eighty million citizens, and even the cultivators in the surrounding area, “Mei Wuqi cruelly slaughtered hundreds of millions of citizens, leaving only you one hundred and eighty million survivors. As victims, I believe the City Lord’s Mansion will certainly care for you and compensate you!”

Empowered by divine force, Luo Feng’s voice carried extremely far, reaching billions of cultivators in the surrounding area.

“Mei Wuqi killed? Hundreds of millions of citizens slaughtered?”

“What happened?”

True Gods in their residences walked out, gazing toward the source of the voice, seeing that figure in the distant night sky.

The black-haired, horned figure was none other than Luo Feng!

This figure was deeply etched in the minds of the surviving citizens of the City of Sin and the billions of cultivators.

“A major incident has occurred in Huoyang City! Someone named Mei Wuqi slaughtered hundreds of millions of cultivators. The remaining one hundred and eighty million were rescued by Divine Lord Luo He!” These ordinary True Gods were stunned and immediately contacted their friends through communication tokens, spreading the word and discussing the matter.

With billions of cultivators spreading the news, it wouldn’t be long before the entire Huoyang City knew.

Luo Feng watched this scene from the night sky, observing the survivors, many of whom were slightly insane.

“City Lord’s Mansion, Five Great Clans, let’s see how you resolve this when the truth cannot be concealed,” Luo Feng murmured. Without the Five Great Clans’ condoning, Mei Wuqi couldn’t have reached this point.

Originally, Luo Feng was somewhat inclined toward the City Lord’s Mansion, but due to this incident, he developed a similar distaste for the Five Great Clans.

A bunch of filthy scum!

*Whoosh!* *Whoosh!* *Whoosh!* *Whoosh!* *Whoosh!* *Whoosh!*

Squads of Huoyang Guards appeared, traversing the void. In the blink of an eye, millions of Huoyang Guards had arrived, with more continuously arriving.

“Mei Wuqi privately abducted hundreds of millions of citizens from ‘Fangjiu City,’ cruelly slaughtering many. Divine Lord Luo He discovered this and has slain Mei Wuqi. All abducted citizens, please rest assured, the City Lord’s Mansion will compensate each and every one of you! Furthermore, the City Lord’s Mansion will investigate the Mei Wu Clan’s responsibility!” A Huoyang Guard commander declared from high above, his voice resonating.

The City Lord’s Mansion, monitoring the entire city, had already locked onto each of the one hundred and eighty million citizens released by Luo Feng.

The Huoyang Guards took the initiative to receive them.

“The City Lord’s Mansion has arranged accommodations for you. Rest assured, you can live in Huoyang City from now on, and you will be permanently exempt from residence fees.” These Huoyang Guards, acting on orders, treated each citizen with extreme warmth.

“Permanently exempt from residence fees?” The surviving citizens were somewhat overwhelmed by the favor.

…

Luo Feng, watching this scene, said, “Let’s go, we’re going back.”

“Alright!” Mo Luosa’s eyes lit up. The moment of enjoyment was approaching!

Mo Yuqingyan followed behind, adjusting his emotions. *The master I follow publicly killed Huoyang Guard Commander ‘Qian Yucong’ and then killed Mei Wuqi, an Eternal True God of the Five Great Clans! The Black Abyss Legion watched from the side without daring to intervene… Just now, hundreds of millions of True Gods from the City of Sin were released by the master, and the City Lord’s Mansion pushed the blame onto Mei Wuqi, without blaming the master at all?*

If he passed the test, he had hope of becoming a disciple.

*The opportunity to become a disciple was sought by my father, but I can’t quite understand my future master. I only know that he is very strong, and he also pities the weak.* At this moment, Mo Yuqingyan felt even more admiration for Luo Feng in his heart.

…

Large numbers of Huoyang Guards traversed the void to arrive, all receiving the City of Sin survivors.

As one of the ten great commanders of the Huoyang Guards, “Gao Wushui” was naturally present.

“I couldn’t do anything about Mei Wuqi, but this Divine Lord Luo He directly killed Mei Wuqi publicly, and even the Black Abyss Legion didn’t dare to stop him.” Gao Wushui was greatly stimulated. He realized the importance of strength.

*With great strength, he publicly killed Mei Wuqi, and the City Lord’s Mansion has to endure it.*

*Someone like me, a newly advanced Eternal True God, is weak and needs my master’s help to hold the position of Huoyang Guard Commander.* Gao Wushui’s joy at breaking through to become an Eternal True God had already faded.

He realized that even among Eternal True Gods, the difference was ridiculously large.

In the entire Huoyang City, those standing at the pinnacle were his master, Mo Lixiao, the Bloodcloud, the leader of the Food Country forces, and this Divine Lord Luo He…

“I am still very weak, very weak.” Gao Wushui turned his head, supervising the Huoyang Guards doing their work below. This time, settling hundreds of millions of citizens from the City of Sin could not afford even the slightest mistake.

******

In a short amount of time, all the major forces within Huoyang City knew what had happened.

The highest floor of Tianyun Tower.

Chairman Zanyun overlooked the vast city, faintly visible in the clouds, and with a flip of his hand, took out a communication token.

“Divine Lord Bloodcloud,” Chairman Zanyun contacted him, being somewhat humble.

!

On the surface, he conducted normal business and did not participate in any battles, so the City Lord’s Mansion could tolerate his existence. After all, as a large border trading city, it naturally had to tolerate the many chamber of commerce forces of the neighboring country, “Food Country.”

Chairman Zanyun was very clear that the Marquis didn’t value someone like him.

People like Divine Lord Bloodcloud, with such overwhelming strength, were the Marquis’ confidants.

“Chairman Zanyun suddenly contacted me. What’s the matter?” Divine Lord Bloodcloud responded.

“I visited Luo He before, and he didn’t care about me at all. However, he had a lot of interaction with the City Lord’s Mansion,” Chairman Zanyun said. “But what happened tonight shows that there is a rift between Divine Lord Luo He and the City Lord’s Mansion!”

Divine Lord Bloodcloud replied, “This Divine Lord Luo He is just a loner, unencumbered. Judging from his actions, he hates evil as if it were his enemy, and he acts when he says he will. With our style of doing things, he will also be hostile toward us.”

Chairman Zanyun was taken aback.

Yes, the Food Country forces acted unscrupulously. In terms of harm, they were far above Mei Wuqi.

“Patiently wait for an opportunity. The Five Great Clans won’t just endure this,” Divine Lord Bloodcloud said. “And from the current information, Divine Lord Luo He is very strong, not inferior to me! Once they fight, they probably won’t be able to do anything to each other.”

“This Luo He is not inferior to you, Divine Lord Bloodcloud?” Chairman Zanyun was quite surprised by the transmission. He knew the power of Divine Lord Bloodcloud very well.

In his opinion, in a one-on-one battle, Divine Lord Bloodcloud should be even stronger than Mo Lixiao.

After all, Mo Lixiao commanded an army and had the help of the Huoyang City’s grand formation. In several encounters, he had failed to capture Divine Lord Bloodcloud.

“Yes, he is very powerful,” Divine Lord Bloodcloud responded. “Defeating Purple Jade Hou is not difficult, but the difficulty lies in… one of his hands pierced through Purple Jade Hou’s body! Purple Jade Hou is a mechanical treasure of the army. Mo Lixiao should also be able to see the terrifying power of this Divine Lord Luo He.”

…

Yanfeng Martial Arts Hall.

“One hand pierced through Purple Jade Hou’s body. What strong strength,” Hall Master Yanfeng said, looking forward to it. “I am most looking forward to the outcome of the fight between ‘Shadowcang’ and this Divine Lord Luo He.”

A gray figure next to him praised, “Shadowcang has a reputation. He has killed many strong people and even the children of Chaos Masters. He is still alive today, so his strength is also terrifying. This battle will definitely be wonderful.”

Hall Master Yanfeng shook his head and sighed, “Unfortunately, I can’t see the details of this battle.”

…

At this moment, only the Yanfeng Martial Arts Hall in the entire Huoyang City knew that Divine Lord Luo He was about to face an assassination.

Outside Chaos Armor Cave 913, which was Luo Feng’s cave abode, in the night sky, a gray-robed figure was hiding.

Shadowcang was waiting here.

“He went to Dreamflower Pavilion and will eventually return to his cave abode. When he returns to his cave abode, it will be the moment when his mind is relaxed, and that will be when I strike,” Shadowcang said silently.

Since he was going to assassinate Luo Feng, he naturally booked detailed information at Yanfeng Martial Arts Hall.

Once Yanfeng Martial Arts Hall knew about Luo Feng’s every move, it would synchronize it with Shadowcang.

This service was very expensive, but Shadowcang didn’t care.

“This Luo He is quite sympathetic to the weak. For the sake of some slaughtered weaklings, he actually fell out with the Five Great Clans of Huoyang City.” Shadowcang read the information from Yanfeng Martial Arts Hall and found it interesting. “This Luo He has a different personality from me. I would quietly kill my target without leaving any traces. He is so arrogant! He publicly killed them and acted in front of the Huoyang Army.”

“One hand pierced through Purple Jade Hou’s body? His strength is quite strong. I wonder if he can withstand my sneak attack,” Shadowcang didn’t care. He didn’t think much of the mechanical treasures of the Huoyang Guards.

He waited patiently.

Time passed, and Shadowcang was very patient.

Suddenly—

A flying ship dove down from the sky. When it arrived near the cave abode, the cave abode’s door opened automatically.

“He’s back.” After stowing the flying ship, Luo Feng, Mo Luosa, and Mo Yuqingyan flew down together.
