## Chapter 19: Taking Action

Luo Feng sat there, drinking his wine, not paying any attention to the Blood Serpent Society’s Vice-President.

Having spent over a cycle in seclusion on Origin Continent, his perfect divine body had completely matured to its peak. Moreover, he had preliminarily cultivated many secret techniques, transforming his potential into power to a certain extent.

He was no longer like the time he fought Hei Duomo, relying solely on the “Life and Death Blade.” Now, Luo Feng’s hands were itching for a fight, eager to encounter a more formidable opponent.

“Among all the forces in Hu Yang City, the truly powerful experts would be the top members of the five great families, the leaders of the nineteen dark factions, the leaders of certain super-powerful forces’ branch offices in Hu Yang City, and perhaps some reclusive old monsters…” Based on the intelligence provided by his friend Shang Tianyan, Luo Feng had preliminarily identified his potential opponents.

Those were the opponents that could ignite Luo Feng’s battle intent.

The Blood Serpent Society’s Vice-President, “Lai Mo,” merely served as a Vice-President in a dark faction. How strong could he possibly be?

“Supreme Luo He, the Vice-President himself is coming to visit you?” The Blood Serpent Society member trembled, fearing that he would be punished by the Vice-President for his report.

Luo Feng’s gaze passed through the palace gate, reaching far into the distance. “Your Vice-President has already heard everything clearly!”

If the Blue Star Palace’s formation isolated sound, the outside world would naturally be unable to pry. But Luo Feng hadn’t concealed anything. The Blue Star Palace’s formation was wide open, and everything he said… any Eternal True God who cared to observe could see and hear it!

“Yes, I shall take my leave.” The Blood Serpent Society member was terrified and quickly departed.

Inside the palace, the green-robed attendant and A Luo Ya were both extremely nervous.

“Supreme One,” the green-robed attendant transmitted mentally, “Vice-President Lai Mo is ferocious and tyrannical. The Supreme One has humiliated him so, he will certainly not endure it.”

“Is that what you call humiliation?” Luo Feng chuckled, raising his cup. “You still don’t understand.”

…

At the Hundred Flowers Banquet.

The Blood Serpent Society’s President, “Mu Yang,” and Vice-President, “Lai Mo,” sat next to each other. They hadn’t paid much attention to the outside events. However, the numerous messages Duan Moyun sent had made them both somewhat irritated.

Such an incident occurring at the Dream Flower Pavilion would surely spread throughout Hu Yang City. With the President and Vice-President present, if they pretended not to notice, people would only think the Blood Serpent Society was afraid.

The Blood Serpent Society was one of the nineteen dark factions in Hu Yang City.

The reason dark factions were overbearing and tyrannical was because of their strength! Without strength, they had no right to control their territory.

“He is, after all, an Eternal True God. Talk to him and resolve this trivial matter,” President Mu Yang said.

“Alright, I’ll handle it.” Vice-President Lai Mo finally ordered his subordinate to deliver the message.

During the transmission, they naturally watched from afar.

The Dream Flower Pavilion Master, Shang Tianyan, and several other Eternal True Gods who were interested also paid attention. Luo Feng’s Blue Star Palace didn’t have a formation to isolate sound, so they could see and hear everything clearly.

“If he wants to see me, he should come to me personally! There’s no reason for me to visit him!” Luo Feng’s words were heard by all the Eternal True Gods who cared to listen.

“Spectacular!”

“Interesting!”

“He’s not giving the Blood Serpent Society any face at all.” These Eternal True Gods were both surprised and delighted. They weren’t willing to fight to the death themselves, but watching other Eternal True Gods fighting was far more entertaining than the Hundred Flowers Banquet!

“This unfamiliar Eternal True God is extraordinarily arrogant! He doesn’t even give face to the Blood Serpent Society’s President and Vice-President, who are both here.”

“The Blood Serpent Society has been rooted in Hu Yang City for countless years. If they endure this, they will become a laughingstock throughout Hu Yang City. Therefore, the Blood Serpent Society cannot endure it! They must take action!” Several of the attentive Eternal True Gods were watching the two members of the Blood Serpent Society.

President Mu Yang and Vice-President Lai Mo both had unsightly expressions.

“President,” Lai Mo said, his blood-colored eyes filled with ferocity, “This is unbearable! If we endure this, we will be ridiculed throughout Hu Yang City!”

“We don’t have a powerful background like the five great families,” President Mu Yang said softly. “The Blood Serpent Society’s territory was won through bloodshed. The dark faction’s reputation was built on bloodshed. Since he refuses to give us face, let’s see what he’s truly capable of.”

“I’ll go and investigate his background,” Lai Mo said, rising. “A fool who couldn’t even withstand a simple illusion. I want to see where he gets his confidence from.”

“Do not be careless when facing any Eternal True God,” President Mu Yang instructed.

“Rest assured.”

Lai Mo walked directly outside.

“Vice-President Lai Mo, everyone here has been invited to my Hundred Flowers Banquet…” The Dream Flower Pavilion Master said.

“Pavilion Master, please do not interfere in this matter.” Vice-President Lai Mo’s body was covered in terrifying, flowing light, his aura expanding. He walked directly towards the Blue Star Palace, crossing the vast distance in just a few steps, arriving before the palace.

Seeing this, the Dream Flower Pavilion Master could only follow. Two Eternal True Gods were about to clash; after all, this was her Dream Flower Pavilion, how could she simply watch?

“This newly acquainted Brother Luo He of mine is extraordinarily fierce. I wouldn’t dare provoke the Blood Serpent Society, yet he dares to ignore them so brazenly!” Shang Tianyan was very surprised.

“The nineteen dark factions have all earned their reputation through bloodshed, making even the City Lord’s Mansion quite wary,” Bai Wu Jun, being a member of a dark faction himself, knew the Blood Serpent Society’s strength very well. “The Blood Serpent Society is not to be trifled with.”

“Spectacular! This is far more interesting than the Hundred Flowers Banquet!” The two Eternal True Gods of the Qu Meng Royal Family were truly excited.

“These dark factions are all difficult to provoke. I want to see the result of this Eternal True God provoking the Blood Serpent Society.” Although their status was high, they were still wary of the Blood Serpent Society.

Dark factions generally didn’t have much of a background, but their strength was terrifying!

…In an instant, over a dozen Eternal True Gods were looking towards the Blue Star Palace from afar, with the Dream Flower Pavilion Master following closely.

Inside the Blue Star Palace, the green-robed attendant and A Luo Ya stood in the corner, incredibly nervous.

“Something big is about to happen.” The green-robed attendant Yu Luo was very flustered. Based on her experience of living in Hu Yang City, daring to openly slap the Blood Serpent Society’s face like this would surely result in the Blood Serpent Society taking action.

“Is it for me?” A Luo Ya was worried and remorseful. She also knew that things had reached this point, and she was no longer important.

“He’s here.” Mo Luo Sa, standing in the corner, looked at the outside of the palace with shining eyes.

Luo Feng, however, continued to sit there leisurely, drinking his wine.

Vice-President Lai Mo appeared outside the palace gate, his terrifying aura spreading across his body. His blood-colored eyes stared at Luo Feng, and he grinned, “Divine Lord Luo He, did you not ask me to pay you a personal visit? I’m here!”

“Speak your business quickly,” Luo Feng said, continuing to pour himself wine, not even bothering to look at him.

Vice-President Lai Mo was so angry he laughed.

The Dream Flower Pavilion Master, who had also arrived, knew that there was no way to stop it.

“I heard that you are very arrogant, not putting the Mo Li Clan, the Dream Flower Pavilion, or my Blood Serpent Society in your eyes. I wanted to resolve this matter, but who would have thought you would be even more insane than I expected!” Vice-President Lai Mo shook his head. “You should know that things have reached this point, and it’s not so easy to resolve. I’ll give you one last chance to apologize and beg for forgiveness! Hand over ten thousand Universe Sand as compensation, and we, the Blood Serpent Society, will not pursue the matter. Otherwise… heh heh…”

Lai Mo’s murderous intent grew stronger in his eyes.

The total value of treasures on Hei Duomo when Luo Feng killed him was a little more than 10,000 Universe Sand.

Some poorer, newly ascended Eternal True Gods wouldn’t even be able to produce that much!

Ten thousand Universe Sand was enough! Forcing Luo Feng to hand over so much would naturally give the Blood Serpent Society enough face.

“Stop talking nonsense,” Luo Feng said quietly, holding his wine cup. “Either take action directly, or get out of my sight!”

Vice-President Lai Mo was stunned.

All the Eternal True Gods watching from afar were somewhat dazed. This newly emerged Eternal True God, “Luo He,” was simply too fierce! Such a fierce and domineering Eternal True God was rarely seen in Hu Yang City.

Normal Eternal True Gods were more cautious and would not act rashly.

“Good, good, good!” Vice-President Lai Mo stretched out his right hand, and a black scepter appeared.

Instantly, Vice-President Lai Mo’s aura erupted. Divine power was already burning, after all, Luo Feng’s refusal to give face had made Vice-President Lai Mo incredibly wary. He used his most proficient technique from the very start.

Aside from not revealing his true form, Vice-President Lai Mo had already fully unleashed his power!

“Be shattered!” Vice-President Lai Mo swung the black scepter, the scepter was like splitting open chaos, carrying the terrifying artistic concept of shattering everything in an instant, it arrived before Luo Feng.

In terms of strength and skill, Vice-President Lai Mo was similar to “Hei Duomo.”

But Luo Feng was no longer the Luo Feng who had just arrived on Origin Continent.

“Hmph.”

Luo Feng gently waved his left hand, his palm like a blade, displaying that one move: the “Life and Death Blade.”

When his palm touched that black scepter that sought to shatter everything, the power of Luo Feng’s perfect divine body, refined once and matured to its peak, completely erupted through his palm.

“Hmm?” Vice-President Lai Mo’s blood-colored eyes widened instantly. He only felt an incomparable, overwhelming force crushing down. The black scepter reversed and struck his body, and a streak of blade light flashed across Vice-President Lai Mo’s body.

Vice-President Lai Mo’s body couldn’t stop it at all. The cycle of life and death spun, and the blade light passed through his body.

“Stop!” President Mu Yang of the Blood Serpent Society, who was watching from afar, was shocked, but there was no time to rescue him. After all, confrontations between Eternal True Gods were too fast.

Luo Feng remained seated in his original spot, his left hand holding a glowing “True God’s Heart.”

One exchange.

Vice-President Lai Mo’s “True God’s Heart” was already in Luo Feng’s grasp.

“Spare me, spare me.” The surface of this True God’s Heart showed Lai Mo’s face, terrified and begging for mercy.

The black scepter and some other personal treasures flew to Luo Feng. Luo Feng fiddled with them a few times and shook his head gently, “Rather poor.”

The Dream Flower Pavilion Master, who had been stunned, hurriedly spoke, “Divine Lord Luo He, please be merciful. You are all honored guests of my Dream Flower Pavilion…”

“I will give the Pavilion Master face,” Luo Feng said, collecting his spoils while observing the True God’s Heart in his left hand. “Vice-President Lai Mo, I will also give you one last chance. Take out 20,000 Universe Sand as compensation, and I will spare your life.”

“I am very benevolent, your weapons and treasures will also be counted in there. You only need to supplement 12,000 Universe Sand.”

“Pay, and live. Do not pay, and you cannot blame me.” Luo Feng looked at the True God’s Heart in his palm.

At this moment, the other Eternal True Gods participating in the Hundred Flowers Banquet felt an invisible pressure, some even feeling their own True God’s Hearts trembling.

At this moment, they also realized… a terrifying figure had arrived in Hu Yang City!
