Zhu You was utterly dumbfounded. Luo Feng’s actions truly caught him by surprise. His expression changed dramatically: “This spells trouble!” While muttering under his breath, Zhu You immediately rushed out.

“Don’t panic, Lord Zhu You, my master is not one to act rashly,” Molasar said, carrying his wine pot as he also stood up. He was perfectly calm, completely unperturbed.

“What is Master planning?” Mo Yuqingyan felt a knot in his chest. He hadn’t been with his master for long, but the experiences of late had been a bit too thrilling! He quickly followed Molasar out.

The guests inside Dreamflower Tower had initially been watching the commotion. When Gao Wushui left, riding his ‘Three-Sword Sky-Rending Beast’, these guests began to return to their respective halls, thinking the ‘show’ was over.

Mei Wuqi himself was quite relaxed, saying with a laugh: “This Gao Wushui is so foolish, he doesn’t deserve to be a Huyang Guard Commander! The Huyang Guard Commander appointed by our five great clans should naturally protect our five great clans, yet he turned around and bit me! Once I return, I’ll push for this matter and find ways to make the City Lord’s Mansion strip him of his commander position.”

“Such an idiot is indeed unfit to be a Huyang Guard Commander,” the armored figure nodded.

“Brother Qianyu, thank you for your help this time,” Mei Wuqi chuckled. Qianyu Chong was an Eternal True God affiliated with their Mei Wu clan, and he often helped Mei Wuqi tie up loose ends.

It was at this moment—

Luo Feng calmly walked over from a distance. In just a few steps, he was already close.

“Hmm?” Mei Wuqi, Commander Qianyu, and the blue-haired man ‘Jiang Chengyou’ all noticed the black-haired, horned man approaching. It was simply that Luo He’s reputation in Huyang City was far too great now!

“Lord Luo He,” Jiang Chengyou called out with a smile.

Luo Feng walked over, his gaze sweeping across Mei Wuqi: “I just heard that you, Mei Wuqi, have brutalized and killed hundreds of millions of citizens of the Yu Kingdom, and from Fangjiu City alone, you abducted hundreds of millions of people? Such a heinous crime, according to the laws of the Yu Kingdom, should warrant your execution!”

Upon hearing this, Mei Wuqi immediately knew the visitor meant trouble!

“Lord Luo He, you shouldn’t speak carelessly,” Mei Wuqi said coldly. “Commander Qianyu has made it very clear that these are all slanderous rumors!”

“Slanderous rumors?” Luo Feng chuckled faintly. “There’s no need for such ridiculous talk in front of me. Many Eternal True Gods in Huyang City know about your deeds! How many Eternal True Gods have you yourself proactively taken to view your City of Sin?”

Mei Wuqi was startled.

He had indeed taken many Eternal True Gods to visit the City of Sin, and he had even boasted about it! He had believed… even if it was widely known in Huyang City, what could anyone do to him?

“Moreover, a large amount of evidence of your crimes can easily be purchased at the Blazewind Guild. What? Do you think the Blazewind Guild would fabricate evidence to slander you?” Luo Feng sneered, “If you could make the Blazewind Guild disregard its reputation just to slander you? Then I would truly admire you.”

Mei Wuqi’s face darkened.

The Blazewind Guild’s business spread across most of the Origin Continent, and it valued its reputation above all else! They wouldn’t even stoop to fabricating evidence against a God King, let alone some evidence against Mei Wuqi.

“Luo He! What business is it of yours?” Mei Wuqi stopped defending himself and stated, “Even if I did it, it’s not for you to meddle.”

“I meddle when I want to, and I don’t when I don’t want to,” Luo Feng said casually. “It just so happens I overheard your affairs today. I think I should follow the Yu Kingdom’s laws and send you on your way!”

“Roar!”

Commander Qianyu, who had been cautious all along, his expression subtly changed. He reacted instantly, and the massive legion-class mechanical secret treasure, the ‘Violet Jade Hou’, swelled up and pressed forward, blocking Luo Feng’s attack. The deep purple scales on the Violet Jade Hou’s winding body gleamed.

“Luo He, what are you doing! Are you going to directly kill an Eternal True God of the five great clans in Huyang City, without a trial by the City Lord’s Mansion?” Commander Qianyu roared furiously.

Mei Wuqi was shocked and enraged. He had only thought the other party was here to provoke him, never expecting him to openly declare he would ‘send him on his way’.

Does he care so little for the City Lord’s Mansion’s reputation?

“Back then, during a battle between Marquis Jiujiang and Great Sage Beiyu, Great Sage Beiyu fled all the way, even once devouring all living beings in the large city of ‘Yuerong City’ just to absorb energy and restore his strength,” Mei Wuqi angrily retorted, “The beings Great Sage Beiyu casually devoured were countless times more than those in my City of Sin. Why don’t you go meddle in Great Sage Beiyu’s affairs then?”

At this moment, more and more guests in Dreamflower Tower noticed what was happening here.

Zhu You, the Dreamflower Tower Master, and Molasar were all watching from not too far away.

“Lord Zhu You, what is Lord Luo He doing?” The Dreamflower Tower Master was somewhat flustered.

“I don’t know,” Zhu You shook his head. “I can’t control Lord Luo He. In my opinion, with Huyang Guard Commander ‘Qianyu Chong’ present, things shouldn’t escalate too much!”

The Dreamflower Tower Master nodded. Commander Qianyu, wielding a legion-class mechanical secret treasure, possessed terrifying strength.

“Great Sage Beiyu is still at large, yet you come to meddle in my small affairs,” Mei Wuqi was furious.

“Great Sage Beiyu is a Chaos Master-level entity; I, an Eternal True God, wouldn’t dare to meddle with him,” Luo Feng said leisurely. “But you, Mei Wuqi, I can certainly manage.”

“I am an Eternal True God, so what if I kill some weaker beings?” Mei Wuqi said eagerly. “Isn’t the law of the jungle visible everywhere in this world?”

“Everyone has a time when they are weak,” Luo Feng shook his head. “When you, Mei Wuqi, were just born, you were also very weak! If everyone adhered to the law of the jungle, you wouldn’t have even grown up!”

Mei Wuqi was startled.

“Even low-intellect beast tribes know to protect their young, yet you constantly proclaim the law of the jungle and wantonly slaughter the weak. You are worse than a beast,” Luo Feng shook his head. “The five great clans, upon learning of my actions, will likely even thank me.”

No sooner had he spoken than—

“This is bad.” Commander Qianyu, who had been cautious all along, his expression subtly changed. He reacted instantly, and the massive mechanical secret treasure, the ‘Violet Jade Hou’, swelled up and pressed forward, blocking Luo Feng’s attack.

Bang!!!

Luo Feng’s outstretched palm struck the Violet Jade Hou’s massive body.

The Violet Jade Hou was a legion-class mechanical secret treasure, controlled by the top Eternal True God ‘Qianyu Chong’ and piloted by a thousand Void True Gods! In terms of individual strength, Qianyu Chong was naturally inferior to Blood Python President Muyang.

However, with the assistance of a thousand Void True Gods and a legion-class secret treasure, the power unleashed by the Violet Jade Hou was in no way inferior to Blood Python President wielding the ‘River of Lifeblood’.

“Boom!”

The tremor generated by the collision between the palm and the Violet Jade Hou’s scaled body caused the entire Dreamflower Tower to tremble slightly. Fortunately, Dreamflower Tower was also enveloped by a formation, maintaining stability and safety in every area.

“He attacked!” Both Zhu You and the Dreamflower Tower Master were greatly startled.

“My dear brother Luo He, if you intend to kill, you could assassinate! Why act directly in broad daylight, in front of everyone?” Zhu You was anxious. Their third-party factions sometimes engaged in foul play too, but they always did so discreetly, leaving no evidence.

“With the Huyang Guard Commander right there, Lord Luo He actually moved against an Eternal True God of the five great clans?” The Dreamflower Tower Master felt a tremor in her heart, even a hint of fear. This was somewhat beyond her imagination.

“Luo He, you’re truly mad!” Commander Qianyu grabbed Mei Wuqi and instantly merged into the Violet Jade Hou’s interior.

“Brother Mei Wu, hide inside the mechanical secret treasure; he won’t be able to harm you there,” Commander Qianyu instructed.

“He’s mad, utterly mad! In Huyang City, he actually dared to openly attack me,” Mei Wuqi was both shocked and enraged. He couldn’t believe that any Eternal True God in Huyang City would dare to openly strike at him.

The palm strike Luo Feng unleashed was blocked by the Huyang Guard’s mechanical treasure, the ‘Violet Jade Hou’. The aftermath caused the Dreamflower Tower’s formation to repeatedly dissipate the force, and many distant onlookers retreated further away.

“Hmm?” Luo Feng looked at his palm, then at the massive Violet Jade Hou before him. “Qianyu Chong, you dare to block me?”

“Luo He!”

The massive Violet Jade Hou’s surface revealed Commander Qianyu’s face, who angrily rebuked, “I am the Huyang Guard Commander, and I was just watching. You actually disregarded the law and openly attacked an Eternal True God of the five great clans. Are you trying to defy the entire City Lord’s Mansion?”

Seeing this, the blue-haired man, Jiang Chengyou, who was standing nearby, spoke up: “Lord Luo He, Commander Qianyu, please calm your anger. We can discuss anything amicably.”

“Lord Luo He, Commander Qianyu, please, calm down,” the Dreamflower Tower Master also quickly interjected.

If things escalated further, if Lord Luo He and the Huyang Guard’s ‘Violet Jade Hou’ were to truly unleash a battle, the commotion would be too immense; it was feared the entire Dreamflower Tower would be reduced to dust!

“Luo He, you disregard the law and act wantonly; the City Lord’s Mansion will surely punish you!” The face of Qianyu Chong on the Violet Jade Hou’s surface sneered, “Just wait for the City Lord’s Mansion’s retribution!”

“Punish me?”

Luo Feng burst into laughter, extended his right hand, and his arm suddenly swelled, divine power burning, his aura surging and mighty! This caused Jiang Chengyou, Zhu You, the Dreamflower Tower Master, and the many guests watching from afar to feel oppressed and terrified.

“How dare you!” Qianyu Chong, with the help of a thousand Void True Gods, controlled the entire Violet Jade Hou to withstand this terrifying blow.

“Pfft!”

Luo Feng’s arm swelled by a thousand zhang, and his palm became massive, like a palm-blade, imbued with the ‘Blade of Creation and Destruction’ artistic conception. When his fingertips, like blade tips, touched the Violet Jade Hou’s purple scales, they seemed to pierce through mud, *pfft*, and had already penetrated deep inside.

When Luo Feng’s previous palm strike was blocked, he had already gauged the Violet Jade Hou’s strength, estimating it was comparable to Blood Python President.

His perfect divine body, refined a second time, and activating the God King-level legacy ‘Annihilation’ to burn divine power, was more than enough to tear apart the Violet Jade Hou with his bare hands.

“Whoosh.”

His palm extended into the Violet Jade Hou’s body, and when he pulled it back, Luo Feng’s hand was already gripping Qianyu Chong.

When Commander ‘Qianyu Chong’ was seized, the entire mechanical secret treasure ‘Violet Jade Hou’ lost its controller and naturally collapsed, scattering in fragments. The thousand Void True Gods and Mei Wuqi all tumbled out.
