**Chapter 61: My Only Friend**

“Brother Shang is dead?” Luo Feng murmured softly.

Throughout his journey of growth, Luo Feng had witnessed too much life and death. Back when he was still on Earth, he had seen heroes give their lives for the planet. Later, during the rise of the human race in the primal universe, he watched figures, including the Giant Axe Founder, fall one by one.

Having experienced so much, Luo Feng’s heart was already incomparably resilient.

“How did Shang Tianyan die?” Luo Feng transmitted a message to the Dark Hall of the Yanfeng Guild.

“This information is worth one unit of Universe Sand,” the Dark Hall of the Yanfeng Guild responded, since this information was now spreading rapidly, the Yanfeng Guild’s price was also relatively low.

“I will purchase this information,” Luo Feng replied.

“Tonight, Shang Tianyan went to observe the battle between ‘General Yong and Bloodcloud God Monarch.’ Afterward, he returned to the Tianyan Sect to arrange matters, and then he met with the Dreamflower Mistress. After that, he went alone to see Sang Shuiyun! A battle occurred at Sang Shuiyun’s residence. During the battle, he used his karmic transmission token to send out information, confirming that Sang Shuiyun was the Bloodcloud God Monarch! The battle lasted for only a breath of time. Shang Tianyan died, and Sang Shuiyun escaped and disappeared,” the Dark Hall of the Yanfeng Guild transmitted the intelligence.

Luo Feng understood.

“Brother Shang, you didn’t tell me about this, were you worried about implicating me?” Luo Feng muttered to himself. “That Bloodcloud God Monarch poses no threat to me; I could have killed him!”

He had been in the Origin Continent for over twenty epochs.

Shang Tianyan was his only friend!

Although he knew many Eternal True Gods, they were only casual acquaintances. Only Shang Tianyan inspired his admiration and was someone he truly acknowledged as a friend.

He remembered their first meeting. At that time, he had no reputation and was just an ordinary figure within the Dreamflower Tower! Those Eternal True Gods with some renown were too lazy to pay him any attention, but Shang Tianyan had taken the initiative to befriend him enthusiastically.

He didn’t care about the strength of Luo Feng’s power, only extending his warm friendship. At their first meeting, he gifted him information about Huyang City, informing him of some of its dangers.

For over twenty long epochs, it had always been Luo Feng asking for his help! Asking him to give guidance on refining his body.

The only time Shang Tianyan eagerly spoke, was to request Luo Feng to save his friend’s children.

“You never asked me for help for yourself,” Luo Feng gazed into the distance, his gaze causing Moluosa to sense something immediately.

“Come with me,” Luo Feng ordered.

“Yes,” Moluosa, sensing the unusual look in his master’s eyes, knew that Luo Feng hadn’t had that look since he arrived in the Origin Continent.

*Whoosh.*

Piloting the flying vessel, Luo Feng took Moluosa directly to the Dark Hall of the Yanfeng Guild.

…

Inside the City Lord’s Mansion.

Mo Lixiao, the Huyang City Lord, and the white-haired elder were gathered.

As the Supreme Commander of the Huyang Army, Mo Lixiao could directly traverse the void. He had already made a trip to the Yanfeng Guild and obtained the karmic tracking token.

“This is the karmic tracking token left behind by Shang Tianyan,” Mo Lixiao said, holding a token in his hand. “With this, we can pinpoint the location of the Bloodcloud God Monarch.”

“Shang Tianyan has performed a great service,” said the Huyang City Lord.

“It’s a pity he’s already dead,” the white-haired elder shook his head.

Mo Lixiao said calmly, “Now, we wait for the Marquis’s arrangements.”

“The Bloodcloud God Monarch’s strength is too great; even General Yong is helpless against him without the aid of the Huyang City Array,” the Huyang City Lord said solemnly. “With such strength, killing the Bloodcloud God Monarch will be very difficult.”

“Indeed,” the white-haired elder nodded. “Among the Marquis’s subordinates in the entire Jiujiang Chaos State, none can compare to General Yong.”

“The most terrifying Eternal True Gods in the Yu Kingdom almost all follow the five God Kings,” Mo Lixiao said. “Without a special reason, why would they come to a place like Huyang City?”

The resources that the God Kings could bestow were naturally far beyond what a Chaos Master could provide.

Therefore, the five God Kings attracted a sufficiently large number of strong individuals! Those of General Yong’s level naturally preferred to follow a God King.

“Yes, if the Marquis wants to mobilize forces, he will probably need to borrow experts from elsewhere,” the Huyang City Lord nodded. “It won’t be resolved in a short time.”

The two great Divine Kingdoms had a tacit understanding when in conflict.

Normal conflicts, where even if countless Eternal True Gods died, it was only because of insufficient strength. This was a relatively low-intensity conflict.

If one day, a Chaos Master took the field! The intensity of the war would be far more terrifying. Even a single aftershock could kill countless lives, and the Eternal True Gods would not dare participate. Whichever Chaos Master won, that side would naturally be victorious.

As for the God Kings, the possibility of them taking the field was extremely low.

Once they made a move, the impact would be very far-reaching! Even the other Divine Kingdoms of the Origin Continent might pay attention and even interfere.

Without certainty, a God King would not take the field. These ancient beings were only after resources for cultivation, and without certainty, they would not fight to the death.

Like when the Shi Kingdom destroyed the Jin Kingdom, once they made a move, they gave the Jin God King no chance to resist! Completely destroying all the experts in the Jin Kingdom’s capital, with only the Jin God King fleeing into the Cosmic Sea in a sorry state.

“The Marquis has sent orders,” the white-haired elder’s eyes lit up. As the leader of the Jiang clan in Huyang City, he would naturally receive orders.

“How is it?” the Huyang City Lord and Mo Lixiao asked.

“The Marquis’s order is only one: increase the bounty for the Bloodcloud God Monarch, Yu Tianhu, and Yu Tianyi,” said the white-haired elder.

The Huyang City Lord understood: “It seems they are hoping that the bounty will attract some terrifying experts to take action.”

“Borrowing forces will also take time. If an expert accepts the bounty and kills the Bloodcloud God Monarch and the others, that would be a good thing,” said Mo Lixiao. “I’ve heard that the two ancient kingdoms, as well as some mysterious forces in the Origin Continent, also have elites they’ve trained who travel throughout the Origin Continent. If they discover a high bounty, they might come to Huyang City.”

“How much is the bounty?” the Huyang City Lord asked.

“The Marquis instructed that the bounty for the Bloodcloud God Monarch be increased to 10 million Universe Sand! The bounty for Yu Tianhu be increased to 2 million, and the bounty for Yu Tianyi be increased to 1 million,” said the white-haired elder.

Mo Lixiao and the Huyang City Lord were stunned.

“!”

As expected of the Marquis! He makes a grand gesture!

The Marquis had the entire Jiujiang Chaos State as his fiefdom, three large cities and one hundred and eighty-nine ordinary cities. The residents had to pay ‘residence fees.’ Each resident paid very little, but the accumulated amount was enormous. After deducting the city’s own operating costs, part was paid to the God Kings, and part was paid to the Jiujiang Marquis.

In just one epoch, the entire Jiujiang Chaos State could supply quite a large amount of wealth.

Ten million or so Universe Sand? To the Jiujiang Marquis, it was indeed not worth mentioning.

He would rather spend some Universe Sand on a bounty than bother the God Kings for such a small matter.

“In the Yu Kingdom alone, there are more than ten individuals who are openly as strong as General Yong, and there are also three or four who are even more dazzling,” said the white-haired elder. “Not to mention the elites cultivated by some major forces in the Origin Continent. Ten million Universe Sand… I believe it will definitely attract experts of sufficient strength within an epoch!”

…

Luo Feng piloted the flying vessel to the Dark Hall of the Yanfeng Guild.

“Brother Luo He,” the Deputy Guild Master of the Yanfeng Guild personally greeted him. “These are all the items left to you by Shang Tianyan.”

He handed over a jade bottle.

Luo Feng took it and checked, seeing over three million Universe Sand, as well as a large amount of materials, weapons, and secret treasures, the most conspicuous of which was a letter.

“Brother Luo He, by the time you read this letter, I should already be dead. You don’t have to grieve for me. In fact, when I returned to my hometown of Huyang City alone, I didn’t intend to live. Later, I was touched by some of the younger ones in the city. I thought to myself, ‘Just consider myself dead!’ I’ll spend the remaining days doing something meaningful, making every day worthwhile.”

“I’ve left all the resources I’ve accumulated in my life to you. I have no requests, because your hatred of evil and your willingness to help the weak are already what I hoped for.”

“Having been back in Huyang City for so long and meeting so many friends, the one I admire the most is you, Brother Luo He.”

“The path of cultivation is difficult. You must take care of yourself. If you face a formidable enemy, it’s not shameful to bow your head and cower. The key is to survive. Only by surviving will you have the chance to kill your enemies. Sometimes… living is more difficult than dying.”

“My life has come to an end! I wish you, my friend, Brother Luo He, that you can achieve your wishes and feel that every day is not wasted.”

This letter was the rambling of an old friend, but Luo Feng felt even more grief.

“Brother Shang, you were the only friend I made after coming to the Origin Continent,” Luo Feng said silently. “You are also the only one I admired. Rest assured, you risked your life to expose the Bloodcloud God Monarch’s identity. I promise you… he will definitely die! He cannot escape!”

Luo Feng turned and left.

The Deputy Guild Master of the Yanfeng Guild watched this scene: “This Luo He God Monarch’s relationship with Shang Tianyan is not ordinary, but the Bloodcloud God Monarch is also not easy to provoke.”

*Whoosh.*

Leaving the Yanfeng Guild, Luo Feng, with Moluosa guarding outside, immediately piloted the flying vessel away.

“Master,” Moluosa looked at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng gazed at the vast Huyang City shrouded in darkness: “I remember that as long as you’ve seen and sensed a life aura, you can hope to track it down? Sang Shuiyun, we’ve met more than once! Can you find him?”

Moluosa transmitted mentally: “Master, rest assured, unless he has a perfect divine body that can completely isolate his aura. Once we get close, I will definitely be able to lock onto his aura.”

“We will now search the entire Huyang City first!” Luo Feng said. “I will pilot the flying vessel, and you will carefully sense and track.”

“Yes,” Moluosa responded.

Luo Feng immediately piloted the flying vessel, flying at high speed across the areas of Huyang City, while Moluosa carefully sensed each area.
