Right now, inside the City Lord’s mansion.

Five divine power avatars were seated within a grand hall, and they were none other than the leaders of the five great families.

“Mo Li Meng has already left Luo He’s cave dwelling.” Marshal Mo Li Xiao sat there, with violet curved horns resembling a crown, his face somewhat aged. His eyes were calm as he said, “Luo He was just assassinated, and he suspects we sent the assassins. He has also rejected the position of ‘Deputy Commander of the Huyang Legion’.”

“We already gave Luo He face by sending Mo Li Meng to explain,” the Huyang City Lord frowned slightly. “Asking him to serve as the Deputy Commander of the Huyang Legion is the highest position we can offer. The higher positions of City Lord and Commander are directly appointed by the royal capital.”

The position they offered was practically the third highest in Huyang City. What higher positions could they offer? The five great families did not have the authority to appoint them privately.

This was their greatest sincerity.

“We gave him a chance to ease things over, and he refused,” a white-haired figure gently shook his head.

“We proactively backed down, and yet he refused,” a figure clad in scarlet scale armor said with icy eyes. “Our five great families consist of two royal clans and three Chaos clans. We suppressed the voices of opposition within our families and took a step back first, and he is still unwilling to accept our goodwill.”

As the leader of the branch of the royal clan “Wu Clan” stationed in Huyang City, Wu Qu Lou was naturally arrogant. They were willing to take a step back purely because Luo Feng’s strength was formidable enough.

The leaders of the five great families were all well aware that no matter how great one’s background, they had to respect the strength of their opponents.

“We are willing to back down, but this Luo He is unwilling to yield,” the leader of the Mei Wu clan, with branches and leaves growing on his body and emitting a rich life aura, said leisurely, “We can recognize the bigger picture, but the many Eternal True Gods of our five great families cannot swallow this insult.”

Everyone present understood this point.

As leaders of their respective family branches in Huyang City, they were all considered quite excellent. However, the vast number of their clansmen were quite ordinary. The pleasures of countless years had long accustomed those clansmen to being high and mighty, making it even more difficult for them to tolerate the provocation of Luo He Divine Lord.

The leaders of the five great families also had to consider the sentiments of their clans.

“He was given the opportunity, but he didn’t want it! Then let’s spend some resources to get rid of him,” the scarlet-scaled figure said indifferently, “Even if we can’t kill him, we must make him like Blood Cloud, hiding forever and afraid to show his face.”

The leader of the Food Nation force, “Blood Cloud,” had been in hiding; if he were to expose himself, he would immediately be attacked by the five great families.

Within Huyang City, the five great families held the advantage of terrain, and Blood Cloud could only hide.

“Wu, I said long ago, let’s invite an expert from out of town to eliminate him,” the Mei Wu clan leader also said with a smile, “The territory of the Yu Kingdom is vast, and experts are as numerous as clouds. There are those stronger than Blood Cloud and stronger than Luo He Divine Lord.”

“I do not agree with this matter,” Marshal Mo Li Xiao said coldly.

“Mo Li, can you even tolerate this?” The scarlet-scaled figure sneered, “If you can tolerate it, my Wu clan cannot.”

The Wu clan was a God-King family, and their arrogance was naturally different from ordinary clans.

“Blood Cloud is the leader of the Food Nation force and our mortal enemy. But Luo He Divine Lord is just an idle Eternal True God. There’s no need to push him to our opposition,” Marshal Mo Li Xiao said calmly. “Even if we invite an expert from out of town, you all know very well that defeating him is easy, but killing him is difficult! Once this Luo He Divine Lord escapes the assassination, he will only hate us even more. Having a great enemy lurking in the shadows… is not a good thing.”

“We don’t even care about the Food Nation, are we afraid of a Luo He?” The scarlet-scaled figure snorted, “City Lord Qu Meng, what do you think?”

“We took a step back, and he ignored us. For the sake of internal stability of the five great families, I think we can take action,” the Huyang City Lord said.

Marshal Mo Li Xiao gently shook his head.

The white-haired figure also said, “I think we should think about it some more.”

“The two of us have decided, so this matter can be decided,” the scarlet-scaled figure said.

“Since the City Lord and Wu agree, I also agree,” the Mei Wu family leader said with a smile, “There’s no need to argue about this matter anymore.”

The Huyang City Lord came from the royal clan “Qu Meng clan”.

The scarlet-scaled figure, Wu Qu Lou, was the leader of the royal clan “Wu clan”. The branches of the two great royal clans in Huyang City held a position that subtly suppressed the three great Chaos clans, making them even less tolerant of provocation.

“Then I will begin preparing for this matter,” the Mei Wu family leader said, while also purchasing all of Luo He Divine Lord’s information from the Yan Feng Guild. Since they were going to take action, they naturally had to thoroughly understand their opponent.

Information changes over time, so they needed to purchase the latest intelligence.

“They will only hide behind when trouble comes,” Mo Li Xiao was quite helpless. With the two great royal clans deciding on this matter and the Mei Wu family supporting it, he and the Jiang clan could not stop it at all.

“Something is strange!” The Mei Wu family leader said with some confusion.

The other four leaders looked at him.

“I tried to purchase the latest information about Luo He Divine Lord from the Yan Feng Guild, and his information actually costs a full 5,000 Universe Sand,” the Mei Wu family leader said with some solemnity, looking at his four companions, “Is just a single piece of information really that expensive?”

“When he attacked Qian Yu Chong and Mei Wu Qi, I purchased his information, and at that time it only cost 100 Universe Sand,” the white-haired figure beside him said in surprise. “Not even a night has passed, and the price of his information has increased so much?”

“All of my information only costs 500 Universe Sand,” Marshal Mo Li Xiao said in disbelief. “All of Blood Cloud’s information is also 500 Universe Sand. But this Luo He Divine Lord… requires 5,000 Universe Sand?”

They knew very well that the pricing of the Yan Feng Guild had a system, a complete system established by the Yan Feng Ancient Country, and they never priced things randomly.

“Buy it and see what the situation is,” the Huyang City Lord instructed.

Five thousand Universe Sand was nothing to them.

What they cared about was… that just a single piece of information was being sold for such a high price, making the leaders of the five great families somewhat nervous.

“Alright.” The Mei Wu family leader immediately purchased the information.

The Mei Wu family leader said in disbelief, “The information given by the Yan Feng Guild is that a very powerful Eternal True God, ‘Shadow Cang’, died in Luo He Divine Lord’s cave dwelling tonight.”

The information exchanged between customers and the Yan Feng Guild would not be sold as intelligence.

However, confirming Shadow Cang’s death through karma was a means of the Yan Feng Guild itself.

Any customer holding a Karma Transmission Token could be instantly identified by the Yan Feng Guild upon death, and their location could be locked.

Even without a Karma Transmission Token, if the location couldn’t be locked, the Yan Feng Guild could still determine the existence of karma as long as there was interaction. Existence meant they were alive. Disappearance meant death.

“Shadow Cang died in Luo He Divine Lord’s cave dwelling?” Everyone present changed color.

“Shadow Cang’s strength is beyond doubt. He possesses more than one mechanical-type secret treasure and has comprehended several Chaos Realm techniques himself. And his ability to escape is even greater,” Marshal Mo Li Xiao said. “He once killed the child of a Chaos Dominator in the Food Nation, enraging the Chaos Dominator who dispatched an elite team to hunt him down. I heard that he encountered several attacks and still survived, eventually successfully escaping into our Yu Kingdom.”

After all, Yu Kingdom and Food Nation had conflicts, and the elite team under the Chaos Dominator wouldn’t dare blatantly pursue him within the territory of Yu Kingdom.

That Chaos Dominator had over three hundred children, and was already inclined to test, select, and eliminate them. The death of one child didn’t warrant too strong of a pursuit, which was one of the reasons why Shadow Cang escaped.

If it were those Chaos Dominators with only a few children, killing their child would likely lead to the Chaos Dominator personally chasing after them, even inviting friends to help. That would truly be inescapable.

Even so, Shadow Cang’s survival still made him famous.

“He could survive being hunted down by the elite team dispatched by a Chaos Dominator, but he died in Luo He Divine Lord’s cave dwelling?” The leaders of the five great families were all shocked.

Luo Feng sat leisurely in the pavilion on the mountain peak, drinking wine. Life wasn’t just about cultivation.

After the great battle, Luo Feng just wanted to relax and reflect on himself.

“Hm?” Luo Feng looked towards the entrance of the cave dwelling in puzzlement, “Mo Li Meng didn’t leave long ago, why is he back again?”

It was still Mo Li Meng’s flying boat.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.

Three figures flew down. Mo Li Meng was accompanied by an older man who looked similar but thinner, and a three-eyed man with a purple-gold scaled tail.

“Mo Li Xiao and the City Lord actually came?” Luo Feng was very surprised.

The Legion Commander and City Lord were the two highest-ranking officials in Huyang City.

“Qing Yan, go open the door,” Luo Feng instructed remotely.

“Yes.” Mo Yu Qing Yan immediately went to open the main gate, and was instantly surprised to see the three figures outside the door. “Marshal Mo Li Xiao and City Lord Huyang?”

As the only gatekeeper of the cave dwelling, Mo Yu Qing Yan had long received information from his master and understood the Eternal True Gods of Huyang City. This way, he could at least recognize the visitors.

“My master asks you to enter,” Mo Yu Qing Yan suppressed his nervousness. When had a small True God like him ever come into contact with the Marshal and the City Lord?

“They didn’t even greet us proactively, just sent a servant to open the door, showing that they are still dissatisfied,” the Huyang City Lord transmitted his voice to his companions.

“If I had his strength, I would be even more dissatisfied!” Mo Li Xiao transmitted his voice.

The City Lord and Marshal flew together towards the pavilion on the high mountain peak, with Mo Li Meng following behind.

Inside the pavilion.

Luo Feng sat there drinking wine, with several wine jugs placed beside him, obviously having drunk quite a bit.

“The City Lord and Marshal have come together, really giving me face,” Luo Feng looked at them with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, “Please sit.”

From beginning to end, Luo Feng sat there without getting up.

Thinking about how they had allowed Mei Wu Qi to slaughter hundreds of millions of citizens, Luo Feng didn’t bother to get up.

“Divine Lord Luo He,” the Huyang City Lord said with emotion, “The matter of Mei Wu Qi was indeed our fault. As the City Lord, I can’t completely restrain the Eternal True Gods within the family. This time, Divine Lord Luo He, your actions were a good thing, and can make them truly fear.”

“The five great families should thank Divine Lord Luo He,” Mo Li Xiao also said, “We will also say within the five great families that the Divine Lord killed well. If we discover such things in the future, we can continue to kill. I believe this will also better deter the Eternal True Gods of the five great families.”

Luo Feng was very surprised.

The five great families lowered their heads?

“This is a gift from our five great families,” the Huyang City Lord took the initiative to offer a jade bottle, “Some items to assist in cultivation, hoping to resolve the feud between the Divine Lord and our five great families.”

Luo Feng scanned with his divine power and was somewhat surprised.

Inside the jade bottle was a lake-like pale white liquid. This was the “Blood of the Ye Beast,” which was quite famous within the Yu Kingdom. Taking it would be like merging with Chaos, greatly aiding in comprehending Chaos Laws.

Just this one bottle, Luo Feng judged, was worth about a million Universe Sand.

“Divine Lord Luo He, what we are saying is true. If the Eternal True Gods of the five great families in Huyang City do such things again, the Divine Lord can just handle them according to the Yu Kingdom’s laws. We will only support the Divine Lord,” Marshal Mo Li Xiao said.

“You two are making me somewhat confused,” Luo Feng said. “More than one person has told me before that the five great families would not let this go.”

Mo Li Meng was somewhat embarrassed.

He had said that he understood the five great families very well, and that the five great families would not let it go.

“In the end, this world is about strength,” Marshal Mo Li Xiao said, “Now, a complete piece of your information, Divine Lord Luo He, requires a full 5,000 Universe Sand in the Yan Feng Guild. Our five great families naturally have to respect your strength.”

Knowing the strength at that moment.

The leaders of the five great families understood one thing.

In Huyang City, the City Lord’s mansion and the Food Nation forces represented the two extremes, and they fought fiercely. In the past, there was a very detached force in Huyang City that the City Lord’s mansion and the Food Nation forces did not dare to disturb, and that was the Yan Feng Guild!

And now, in Huyang City, transcending the two extremes, in addition to the Yan Feng Guild, there was also Luo He Divine Lord!
