Chapter 8: Marquis Chu Yu’s Scheme, Episode 3

Origin Continent, within the extremely cold ice plains, lies a vast territory known as the “Black Sky Realm.”

For countless years, this realm has been enveloped by a sprawling layer of black clouds. The extent of these clouds is nearly comparable to the entire territory of second-rate nations like Yu and Shi.

Deep within the black clouds lurks a winged figure.

“This Luo He is quite bold. He must have guessed that there’s a God King behind the exotic beast, yet he still doesn’t give me face,” the winged figure mused. “The Marquis Chu Yu he follows is a newly promoted first-class Marquis! The struggle among the Emperor Chu lineage’s first-class Marquises is brutal. It won’t be long before this Luo He finds himself in trouble.”

“I’ll strike when the opportunity is right.” The winged figure had lived for endless years and had become increasingly cautious.

Those who reach the peak of the Chaos Realm can retain their complete memories upon reincarnation.

Even he was unwilling to easily provoke a great feud.

However, he knew very well that secretly fueling the flames at crucial moments could plunge some powerhouses into dire straits.

“This exotic beast was secretly enslaved by me and has never been publicly exposed.”

“This time, with the exotic beast’s identity exposed, I used secret techniques to conceal the karma. In the entire Origin Continent, only a handful can trace back to me…” The winged figure pondered, “Emperor Qing” and the current Emperor “Emperor Fu” of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom are adept at exploring karma and could uncover my identity.”

“But the Tianqu mineral vein where I struck belongs to the territory controlled by the Emperor Chu lineage. Emperor Chu wouldn’t ask Emperor Qing and Emperor Fu for help over such a minor theft.”

Long ago, the winged figure was also a Chaos Realm guest minister of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom. In that era, he was even a Chaos Realm transcendence-level existence.

Later, he became a God King, his strength naturally becoming even more profound, and he left the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom.

Many God Kings establish a nation or a force, believing they have the strength to stand in this world. The difficulty of destroying them is extremely high.

Back then, the Mountain Seat Guest also believed he had enough to protect himself and cope with most dangers in the Origin Continent. He never expected the Shi Kingdom’s ruler to be so unscrupulous.

“The Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom and the Thunder Ancient Kingdom occupy the core territory of the entire Origin Continent. They monopolize almost all kinds of treasures. What’s the harm in me taking a little bit? After all, it’s naturally conceived by heaven and earth,” the winged figure thought. “The other exotic beasts haven’t been exposed yet.”

“Buzz!”

The winged figure merged into the endless black clouds, which were its true form.

The black clouds enveloped the entire Black Sky Realm, harboring countless cultivators and exotic beasts. Whenever a Chaos Realm exotic beast was born, it would be quietly enslaved by him and then dispatched to the two ancient kingdoms to steal some natural treasures.

Chu Capital, Marquis Chu Yu’s Mansion.

“Brother Chu Yu,” Luo Feng informed him of the details of the mission.

Emperor Chu Yu frowned slightly upon hearing this: “This Chaos Realm exotic beast wasn’t recorded in the intelligence. It must have been captured and enslaved shortly after it was born. I wonder who its master is.”

“Those who dare to send exotic beasts to steal natural treasures in the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom are either powerful and not afraid of being investigated by our Emperor Chu lineage, or they are powerful figures within our imperial clan.” Emperor Chu Yu knew very well that most of those who stole various treasures were the numerous Marquises within the imperial clan.

The Marquises were in fierce competition, and if they couldn’t get enough resources through competition, they would resort to crooked means.

“If you can find out the detailed identity of this person, your mission will have been a success.” Emperor Chu Yu smiled, “As for the rest, there’s no need to interfere.”

“Whether the exotic beast’s master is a Marquis of the imperial clan or some ancient existence, it’s not appropriate for you to get involved.”

Luo Feng nodded: “After the exotic beast died, there were no weapons or treasures, only some Tianqu Stone Essence.”

With a wave of his hand,

Chunks of Tianqu Stone Essence, half a person tall, and a pile of Tianqu Stone Essence particles appeared.

“A total of twenty-three pieces of Tianqu Stone Essence and some fragments,” Luo Feng said.

“The exotic beast should periodically hand over some of the mined Tianqu Stone Essence to its master.”

Marquis Chu Yu glanced at it

“Twenty-three pieces plus some fragments are worth more than 23,000 merits. Keep them! The spoils of war from the mission are yours.”

Luo Feng nodded and put them away

The merit value of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom is very high, and Universe Sand cannot be exchanged for merits.

According to Luo Feng’s understanding, a complete Tianqu Stone Essence can be exchanged for 1,000 merits, while buying it outside requires nearly 300 million Universe Sand. The price fluctuates because Tianqu Stone Essence is rarely sold.

“By the way, I’ve briefly looked into the perfect-level “Chaos Layer Creature” material you need,” Emperor Chu Yu said. “Our Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom should have seven heads, six in the hands of God Kings, and one in the hands of Marquis Wuhuang. Marquis Wuhuang belongs to the Emperor Wu lineage… and has a very bad relationship with our Emperor Chu lineage.”

“I need to spend more effort. It will probably take a long time to get this Chaos Layer Creature material.” Emperor Chu Yu also felt it was difficult.

“It’s fine if you can’t get it, don’t force it,” Luo Feng said

Because of “The Eighth Tribulation Lifeform” “First Tribulation”.

The Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom looks down on some ordinary God Kings, and those ordinary God Kings are not qualified to obtain a fiefdom in the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom.

This Heavenly Capital King is a direct disciple of the Yanfeng Ancestor and is a brother to the Emperors. He is a remarkable existence.

The City Lord of Refined Jade is the only one of the Heavenly Capital King’s many children who has reached the Chaos Realm.

However, the management of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom is led by the thirteen Emperors and is the responsibility of the first-class Marquises of the imperial clan. Guest minister God Kings have no right to intervene.

“Exploring the entire Chaos Layer and capturing perfect Chaos Layer creatures are only possible for Emperors or existences like the Heavenly Capital King.” Marquis Chu Yu also felt it was not easy. “After planning for today, it has finally succeeded.”

The promise of the City Lord of Refined Jade. Marquis Chu Yu believed it.

“Hu——”

Marquis Chu Yu led a group of subordinates out of the pavilion, including two Chaos Realm cultivators. In the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, there are also some Chaos Realm cultivators with ordinary strength. They try to get close to the first-class Marquises to seek some opportunities.

“Emperor Chu Yu!” a fierce voice rang out.

Marquis Chu Yu’s expression changed slightly as he turned his head to look.

He saw two figures leading a group of subordinates walking over.

“Emperor Chu Yu, I and Marquis Chu Ji both asked you for help with the mission in the North Sea Beast Forest, but you didn’t give us face!” said an ugly figure covered in black fur, with lightning flowing in his eyes. “I guessed that you were helping the City Lord of Refined Jade, and it’s true.”

“In the past three epochs, I have been quite accommodating in the allocation of tasks, but this mission in the North Sea Beast Forest is very important to me,” Emperor Chu Yu said. “I can’t give in anymore.”

“You’ve grown bolder,” the black-haired figure cackled, a baleful aura overwhelming Emperor Chu Yu, making him feel frightened.

Among the seven first-class Marquises, this Marquis Chu Yuan is a madman because he possesses the bloodlines of both the Yanfeng Imperial Clan and the Thunder Imperial Clan. Marquis Chu Yuan experienced many hardships in his youth, which made his temperament increasingly twisted and violent.

Marquis Chu Yuan only had a good relationship with Marquis Chu Ji, who shared his temperament.

“When you’re weak, you should do things that are weak,” the burly figure beside him looked at Emperor Chu Yu. “You’re worthy of taking a King-level mission?”

“We first-class Marquises have the same status,” Emperor Chu Yu’s expression was also ugly. “I have given up all the previous King-level missions and never received one! This mission in the North Sea Beast Forest… because I have never received one, I naturally have priority.”

“Priority?” the black-haired ugly figure rebuked, “We already told you to give it to us! You dare to snatch it?”

“Bang!”

A terrifying wave struck Emperor Chu Yu’s body, also affecting his subordinates.

Even the two Chaos Realm cultivators beside him felt a terrifying force ripple over them.

The formation of this place of enjoyment immediately emerged. Emperor Chu Yu was struck and sent flying against the formation, and the two Chaos Realm cultivators beside him also crashed into the formation.

The loud noise attracted the attention of many guests.

As for the few ordinary followers beside Emperor Chu Yu? They had long turned to ashes.

“I accidentally killed a few of your followers,” the black-haired ugly figure said with a strange laugh. “I guess I’ll be fined a few thousand merits? Hahaha, fine me as you please.”

“This is a warning.”

“Next time, I won’t be so gentle,” the black-haired ugly figure turned and left.

Marquis Chu Ji beside him also coldly glanced at Emperor Chu Yu: “Emperor Chu Yu, you know Marquis Chu Yuan’s temper! If you behave yourself, you’ll suffer less, otherwise, I can’t stop him.”

After speaking, Marquis Chu Ji also left.

Emperor Chu Yu and the two Chaos Realm cultivators beside him had ugly expressions. One of the Chaos Realm cultivators with several tentacles couldn’t help but say

“Let’s go back,” Emperor Chu Yu said coldly, turning and leaving

Many of the guests in this place of enjoyment also had considerable identities. But seeing the conflict between the three first-class Marquises, they didn’t dare to watch any further.

Two days later.

Emperor Chu Yu came to Luo Feng’s cave residence.

“Brother Chu Yu,” Luo Feng came out of seclusion to meet him.

“I finally didn’t fail Brother Luo He’s expectations,” Emperor Chu Yu laughed. “After planning for three epochs, I finally obtained this perfect-level Chaos Layer Creature material.”
