**Chapter 67: Marquis Jiu Jiang Bestows Favor**

Before Luo Feng had even returned to Hu Yang City, the city had already received word of Xue Yun’s demise.

Throughout Hu Yang City, every client of the Yanfeng Guild’s Shadow Hall received a message: the assassination mission targeting Bloodcloud Divine Monarch had been successfully completed!

Inside the City Lord’s Mansion:

“Completed?” Mo Limeng exclaimed, astonished.

“This…this…” Wu Qulou, leader of the Wu Clan, though eagerly anticipating such an outcome, still found it hard to believe the Yanfeng Guild’s message. “He actually killed Xue Yun!”

The City Lord of Hu Yang sighed with emotion, “We once considered teaching Luo He a lesson. Looking back, it’s fortunate we didn’t act!”

“Luo He’s strength is indeed above mine,” General Yong, the one-horned warrior, stated solemnly. “Looking across the entire Yu Kingdom, among all Eternal True Gods, only a handful, perhaps three or four, can compare to him. As for surpassing him? In the Yu Kingdom…there is no Eternal True God stronger than he!”

The leaders of the five great clans were all utterly shaken.

These branch families, dispatched to Hu Yang City, already held low status within their clans.

One of the most powerful Eternal True Gods in the entire Yu Kingdom? Such a being would be valued by the Divine King, showered with resources, a dazzling and brilliant existence! They, mere branches of their families, could never compare.

“Xue Yun doesn’t possess an infinite divine body, but his accumulation in terms of realm was extremely high. I truly never expected Luo He to actually kill him,” General Yong, having personally fought with Xue Yun, understood the Bloodcloud Divine Monarch’s strength.

“Should we go outside the city to greet him?” Mo Limeng suddenly suggested.

“Of course, we must greet him!” The City Lord of Hu Yang laughed heartily. “From now on, Divine Monarch Luo He is the City Lord’s Mansion’s most important friend.”

“I shall go greet him as well,” said General Yong, for he most admired the strong.

“Let’s go.”

The seven individuals – the five clan leaders, General Yong, and Mo Limeng – immediately left the City Lord’s Mansion, traversing the void to reach the Eastern Gate, patiently awaiting the imminent return of Divine Monarch Luo He.

At that very moment, the Eternal True Gods throughout Hu Yang City were all emotionally stirred.

Two of the “Feather Sky Five Gods” from the Shi Country’s Liuyin Chaos Continent – Feather Sky Hu and Feather Sky Yi – had been killed one after the other. Bloodcloud Divine Monarch, whose actions affected over eight billion beings and carried a bounty of ten million cosmic sand, had now also been killed. All of this had transpired within this single night!

“Ten million cosmic sand!”

“Who could have killed Xue Yun? Was it a powerful figure from the City Lord’s Mansion, or some mysterious expert?”

“The bounty was just raised tonight, and Xue Yun, Feather Sky Hu, and Feather Sky Yi are already dead. These bounties are truly effective.”

“It seems Hu Yang City harbors a terrifying existence. With a sufficient bounty, one can persuade him to act.”

The Eternal True Gods were all amazed and simultaneously filled with awe. They must act with greater caution in Hu Yang City from now on, refraining from excessive recklessness. If they were to carelessly offend the terrifying being who had slain Xue Yun, they feared they wouldn’t be able to withstand a single blow.

Inside the Heavenly Flame Gate, many disciples were still mourning in the plaza, lamenting their powerlessness and the seeming invincibility of Bloodcloud Divine Monarch. Even before their sorrow could dissipate, good news arrived.

The Bloodcloud Divine Monarch, with his bounty of ten million cosmic sand, had been killed!

“Xue Yun is dead?”

“Haha… that old devil is finally dead!”

“Master, Xue Yun is dead!”

“Master, junior brothers and sisters, your vengeance has finally been obtained!”

The entire Heavenly Flame Gate was filled with exhilaration. Some disciples, who had already started packing their belongings, returned to the plaza. Countless disciples were overcome with excitement.

“Uncle Qiu, Xue Yun is dead,” Uncle Qiu, upon learning the news, cried tears of joy. He understood perfectly what the Gate Master had risked his life to achieve.

The Gate Master’s efforts were all worth it!

“Sang Shuiyun is dead?” Tower Lord Menghua sat alone in her small building, her expression complex.

This night was too dreamlike.

Both Shang Tianyan and Sang Shuiyun, who were obsessed with pursuing her, were now dead.

******

A flying boat approached the Eastern Gate of Hu Yang City.

“They’ve arrived,” the seven figures from the City Lord’s Mansion had been waiting.

“Hmm?”

Luo Feng emerged from the flying boat, accompanied by Moluo Sa.

“Divine Monarch Luo He,” the City Lord of Hu Yang, leading the group, greeted him warmly. “Divine Monarch, in a single night, you successively killed two of the Feather Sky Five Gods, and then eliminated Bloodcloud Divine Monarch, solving a major problem for our Hu Yang City.”

Luo Feng replied, “It was all thanks to the causality tracking talisman that Brother Shang left behind; otherwise, Xue Yun would have escaped to Shi Country long ago.”

“Xue Yun was indeed cunning,” Mo Liheng added. “He had been hiding his strength all along. The moment his identity was exposed, he immediately fled. Fortunately, Divine Monarch Luo He acted decisively and completely eliminated him.”

“Brother Luo He’s success this time means I have also fulfilled my mission,” General Yong said with a smile. “After returning to the royal capital, I will definitely report Brother Luo He’s achievements to the Divine King.” Of course, when the Divine King would respond to his report was unknown.

“We have already reported Divine Monarch Luo He’s great contributions to Marquis Jiu Jiang,” the City Lord of Hu Yang said. “I believe the Marquis will certainly reward you handsomely.”

Hu Yang City was within the domain of Marquis Jiu Jiang’s fief.

“Thank you all,” Luo Feng said.

If he could obtain some benefits from the Yu Kingdom’s Divine King and Marquis Jiu Jiang, Luo Feng naturally wouldn’t refuse. In his current weakened state, he needed all the resources he could get to grow stronger as quickly as possible.

“It’s all as it should be,” the City Lord of Hu Yang said. “From now on, if Divine Monarch Luo He needs anything in Hu Yang City, simply send word.”

“Brother Luo He, if you seek cultivation resources, or certain opportunities, you should go to the royal capital,” General Yong suggested.

“Thank you, General Yong,” Luo Feng sensed the other man’s goodwill.

However, he didn’t plan to cultivate under the Divine King’s watchful eyes while still weak. If Moluo Sa’s identity were exposed, he would immediately become an enemy of the entire Origin Continent, so it was better to be cautious during his period of weakness.

“Everyone, I must first visit the Yanfeng Guild. I bid you farewell for now,” Luo Feng said.

“Please.”

All seven of them were extremely enthusiastic. Even the leader of the Mei Wu Clan and the leader of the Wu Royal Clan were very warm, not caring in the slightest about the conflict caused by the earlier death of Mei Wuqi.

When one’s strength is sufficient, even if their teeth are knocked out, they must swallow the bitterness.

Because they understood that, in the eyes of the Divine Kings and Chaos Dominators, Divine Monarch Luo He’s value was much higher than the combined value of all their peripheral branch families.

Within Jiu Jiang Chaos Continent, inside Jiu Jiang City, in a secluded cultivation chamber:

“Such an impressive Eternal True God has emerged within my fief,” Marquis Jiu Jiang sat cross-legged on the ground, his silver hair cascading down his shoulders. Each strand of his hair subtly contained endless void, causing the void around him to distort completely.

“Marquis Liuyin is relentlessly pressing, and ‘Hu Yang City,’ being the closest to the border, is likely his first target. It is fortunate that Luo He has emerged at this time.”

Marquis Jiu Jiang pondered.

He, too, was a Chaos Dominator who had cultivated for countless years, comprehending the fundamental avenues of the Supreme Rules. Although he was still far from being a “Divine King,” he could still be considered to have deep accumulation and terrifying strength.

However, Marquis Liuyin, within the Shi Country, was considered one of the top five Chaos Dominators, indeed a notch above him, naturally placing considerable pressure on him.

“Luo He has made such great contributions within my fief; I must reward him handsomely. Furthermore, I must report this to the country lord,” Marquis Jiu Jiang thought. “The country lord has always favored nurturing the younger generation. Because of my report…Luo He will receive the country lord’s cultivation, and Luo He must remember this favor.”

Marquis Jiu Jiang understood that Eternal True Gods of this caliber, if they were to follow anyone, would certainly choose from among the five Divine Kings of the Yu Kingdom. Only a fool would choose him, a mere Marquis.

Whether it was inheritance, resources, or a powerful backer, a Divine King was far superior to a Chaos Dominator.

In order to make Luo He grateful and willing to help him guard Hu Yang City, he naturally had to bestow favor!

Across his entire fief, consisting of three large cities, the continuous ‘residence fees’ and other resources generated by a single large city were something Marquis Jiu Jiang greatly valued.

“Country Lord,” Marquis Jiu Jiang immediately contacted the Yu Kingdom’s country lord.

Although the Yu Kingdom had five Divine Kings, only the founder of the Yu Kingdom was referred to as the “Yu Kingdom’s Country Lord” by the Chaos Dominators! Given the Shi Country’s proclivity for invasion, no Divine King-level conflicts had ever been triggered, precisely because the Yu Kingdom’s country lord was too terrifying.

“Jiu Jiang, why are you contacting me?” A voice echoed from afar, and a vague figure covered in hair directly imprinted itself into Jiu Jiang’s mind.

Marquis Jiu Jiang became even more respectful.

The Yu Kingdom’s country lord was an existence of extreme terror throughout the entire Origin Continent.

“Country Lord, I discovered a young fellow named Luo He in Hu Yang City within my fief,” Marquis Jiu Jiang began his report, indicating his high status that allowed him to contact the country lord directly.

******

Luo Feng was unaware of the benefits Marquis Jiu Jiang was plotting for him. He had already arrived with Moluo Sa at a small building within the Yanfeng Guild.

“Brother Luo He, I am deeply impressed,” the Vice Guild Master’s eyes, formed of swirling mist, looked at Luo Feng and said with a cheerful smile. The Yanfeng Guild Master, standing beside him, said, “Brother Luo He, did you bring proof of the Bloodcloud Divine Monarch’s death?”

Luo Feng extended his hand, holding the corpse of Xue Yun.

The Yanfeng Guild’s Master and Vice Guild Master carefully examined the body. From the corpse, they could discern many clues. There was a hole in the corpse’s chest, and the True God’s heart was gone.

“He extracted the True God’s heart again. Does he have some kind of void-based killing technique? Can he directly extract hearts?” The two individuals, from the Emperor Chu Clan of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, were well-informed and made many speculations.

“Is it enough to prove it?” Luo Feng asked.

“Of course,” the Vice Guild Master said with a smile. “Do you also want to claim the bounties for Feather Sky Hu and Feather Sky Yi?”

“Certainly.” Luo Feng took out Feather Sky Hu’s weapon and Feather Sky Yi’s mechanical-flow secret treasure.

“This is thirteen million cosmic sand,” the Vice Guild Master retrieved the bounty, which had been prepared in advance and deposited with the Yanfeng Guild by those who had placed the missions.

Luo Feng accepted the jade bottle, sensing the massive amount of cosmic sand inside. He could afford to be more extravagant in his cultivation from now on.

After claiming the bounty, Luo Feng prepared to leave.

“Brother Luo He,” the Yanfeng Guild Master said with a smile, “Let me introduce myself. I am from the Emperor Chu Clan of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, my name is Di Chu Yu. Meeting Brother Luo He in Hu Yang City of the Yu Kingdom is a kind of fate.”

“The Emperor Chu Clan of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom?” Luo Feng was not some ignorant, wandering cultivator. Possessing two lineages, he knew full well what the Emperor Chu Clan of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom signified.
