Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent - Chapter 16: The Merciful Luo Feng
The two Eternal True Gods of the Qumeng Clan, who were chatting and drinking, turned their heads with interest to look at Luo Feng, who had already released his aura from a distance.
“Is his mental will really so weak? He lost control just from a musical illusion performance?”
“Probably an Eternal True God who had a lucky breakthrough from a wild tribe, without any secret methods to train his mental will, which is why he’s so weak.”
“A mental flaw this severe makes him easily targeted.”
They looked on with amusement. As members of the royal Qumeng Clan, they inherently felt superior to the other Eternal True Gods outside their clan, thinking their secret methods were crude and their treasure weapons inferior. In their eyes, Luo Feng was just a lucky person who had become an Eternal True God without properly training his mental will.
“A perfectly good Hundred Flowers Banquet ruined by him.” A tall figure covered in black hair, with blood-red eyes filled with anger, had been deeply immersed in the enjoyment, only to have his pleasure interrupted by Luo Feng.
He was the third leader of the dark force ‘Blood Python Society’, Laimo.
“An emerging Eternal True God, nothing to worry about.” A black-scaled figure drinking wine said, “The Pavilion Master of the Dream Flower Pavilion will soon have him leave, otherwise he will disrupt the entire Hundred Flowers Banquet.”
This black-scaled figure was the master of the Blood Python Society.
“Interesting.” Under the misty form of the White Mist Lord, an eye was observing Luo Feng.
At this moment, all the other Eternal True Gods in the audience were also paying attention to Luo Feng. After all, the aura of an Eternal True God would naturally raise the alertness of the other Eternal True Gods, which was instinctive.
The Pavilion Master of the Dream Flower Pavilion, who was performing the musical illusion, had to temporarily stop.
“I knew he would be easily affected by the musical illusion, but I didn’t expect him to lose control.” The Pavilion Master of the Dream Flower Pavilion could do nothing but consider the thoughts of the other guests.
When the illusion stopped, Luo Feng quickly regained his senses, noticing that everything in the room, including the table, food, and wine, was completely shattered. The Eternal True Gods in the surrounding buildings were all looking in his direction, seemingly discussing something.
“I lost control.” Luo Feng thought to himself, “It seems that it’s not suitable to practice the Seven Emotions Tempering Heart Technique while listening to the Pavilion Master’s musical illusion.”
“Entropy brother, I apologize.” Luo Feng, who was sitting cross-legged, immediately stood up and spoke to Entropy Tianyan beside him.
“It’s a small matter.” Entropy Tianyan laughed heartily, “I just didn’t expect you to be more immersed than I was.”
“The Pavilion Master’s music is indeed extraordinary.” Luo Feng smiled, “It reminded me of many old memories… I’ll take a walk outside, you all continue.”
Luo Feng glanced at Morosa, then walked outside. Morosa immediately followed.
When Luo Feng walked out of the building, he nodded slightly to the Pavilion Master of the Dream Flower Pavilion to express his apology, then left with his servant Morosa.
“When he looked at me, there was no infatuation.” The Pavilion Master of the Dream Flower Pavilion felt a bit disappointed. Being immersed in the illusion did not necessarily mean infatuation with her, “However, his resistance to illusions is obviously very weak, there’s still a chance.”
“Ladies and gentlemen, there were some small hiccups just now, please don’t mind…” The voice of the Pavilion Master of the Dream Flower Pavilion naturally soothed the hearts of the guests.
“This unfamiliar Eternal True God probably has mediocre strength.”
“His mental will is quite weak, that’s for sure.”
The group of Eternal True Gods observed Luo Feng as he left, each forming their own thoughts.
“Master, are you not attending the Hundred Flowers Banquet anymore?” Morosa followed Luo Feng.
“There’s no point in attending.” Luo Feng shook his head. Without practicing the Seven Emotions Tempering Heart Technique, the illusion is insignificant. But practicing it temporarily exceeded his limits, causing him to lose control.
In comparison, those musicians at the Void True God level were more suitable for him.
“Honored one.” The green-robed attendant Yu Luo also followed.
“Arrange another place for me.” Luo Feng instructed, “Oh, and have Aloya come over.”
The green-robed attendant nodded and immediately sent a message to make arrangements. Soon, she whispered, “Honored one, today’s Hundred Flowers Banquet has many guests at the Dream Flower Pavilion. Aloya is performing elsewhere and may take a while to come over.”
“Oh?” Luo Feng’s gaze swept across, and with his Perfect Divine Body’s sensing ability, he instantly locked onto a hall where Aloya was performing.
******
In this hall, Aloya stood there, with vines extending from her body, directly entwining several musical instruments. The instruments naturally sounded under the activation of divine power, immersing the guests in the illusion.
After the performance ended, Aloya immediately bowed and was about to leave.
“Wait.” One of the young men sitting in the main seat spoke. This young man had four purple curved horns on his head resembling a crown, with eyes burning with purple flames. Anyone with some knowledge could recognize him as a member of the Magili Clan of Huyang City.
Aloya had to stop.
“I’ve visited the Dream Flower Pavilion many times and heard many musical pieces. You are the most talented musician.” The young man from the Magili Clan said, “I, Magili Lian, formally invite you to become a musician of the Magili Clan. Would you be willing?”
Aloya’s heart trembled. An invitation from a member of the Magili Clan? She didn’t want to go. Entering such a top-tier clan, she feared she would become a mere plaything.
Beside Magili Lian sat a red-haired man. The red-haired man laughed and said, “Aloya, Magili Lian is a genius of the younger generation of the Magili Clan, personally guided by the commander of the Huyang Legion, Magili Xiao. He has a great chance of becoming an Eternal True God. His personal invitation is an honor for you. What are you hesitating about?”
“I am a musician of the Dream Flower Pavilion, I cannot leave without permission.” Aloya said softly.
“As long as you are willing, the Pavilion Master of the Dream Flower Pavilion will give face to my Magili Clan.” Magili Lian said with a smile.
“Young Master Magili… I, I don’t want to go.” Aloya mustered her courage to say. If she truly entered the Magili Clan, she would be at the mercy of their core members, summoned at their whim.
Magili Lian frowned slightly.
Seeing this, the red-haired man spoke immediately, “Aloya, you are from the Thousand Leaf Vine Grass Clan, right? If I’m not mistaken, your clan is within the territory of the Blood Python Society?”
The Blood Python Society was one of the nineteen dark forces in Huyang City, controlling the entire city from the shadows.
Aloya’s face turned pale.
“The Thousand Leaf Vine Grass Clan has nine Void True Gods and over ten thousand True Gods, living in the Xue Dong District of Huyang City.” The red-haired man looked at her, “I should be correct.”
The Blood Python Society was well aware of every type of cultivator within their territory, keeping detailed records.
Because they needed to find “fat sheep,” and once found, they would be slaughtered!
“Lord Duan.” Aloya hesitated, unwilling to become a plaything. How could she willingly accept? But she feared the Blood Python Society!
“Duan Moyun, your Blood Python Society’s strength is quite average.” Magili Lian chuckled lightly, his eyes growing colder.
The red-haired man was equally annoyed, looking at Aloya, “A mere musician, know your place. Get lost!”
Aloya was extremely uneasy, not daring to leave. She could tell that Lord Duan Moyun was very angry. If she really left, it might bring disaster to her entire Thousand Leaf Vine Grass Clan.
While Aloya was in a dilemma, a purple-robed attendant hurried into the hall, apologizing repeatedly, “Young Master Magili Lian, Lord Duan Moyun, please do not be angry. Since Young Master Magili Lian has personally invited her, it is indeed Aloya’s good fortune. I will persuade her.”
Magili Lian nodded slightly.
The red-haired man Duan Moyun sneered, “This little musician has quite the nerve.”
“Yes, yes.” The purple-robed attendant responded, about to pull Aloya away.
Suddenly——
The entire hall fell silent, everyone seemed to become part of a painting, unable to move or make any sound.
At this moment, a black-haired man with a thickset servant walked into the hall.
“Dream Flower Pavilion?” Luo Feng sneered, “I said before, I greatly appreciate Aloya as a musician! How dare you, Dream Flower Pavilion, give away the musician I fancy to a little brat?”
Everyone present was in terror, including Young Master Magili Lian and Lord Duan Moyun.
They were extremely afraid.
An Eternal True God, if he turned hostile, could easily crush them. Although they had backgrounds, background didn’t equal strength! For instance, Luo Feng didn’t care about their backgrounds at all at this moment, to him they were just two Void True Gods.
“Lord Luo He!” The green-robed attendant also hurried into the hall, anxiously saying, “It’s our
mistake.”
“Shut up.” Luo Feng said.
The green-robed attendant immediately fell silent.
Luo Feng’s gaze swept over Lord Duan Moyun, Young Master Magili Lian, and he said calmly, “From today onwards, neither of you are allowed to step into the Dream Flower Pavilion again.”
“And you Dream Flower Pavilion.” Luo Feng’s gaze swept over the green-robed attendant and the purple-robed attendant, “Take good care of Aloya. If you can’t protect her, then hand her over to me! Understand?”
The green-robed attendant nodded repeatedly.
“As for the Blood Python Society, Magili Clan, and Dream Flower Pavilion, anyone who is dissatisfied can come to me.” Luo Feng smiled slightly, “I will warmly welcome them.”
After speaking, his intangible aura retracted, and everyone in the hall regained their freedom.
But everyone was shocked, not daring to make a sound for a while.
“Aloya, follow me.” Luo Feng said, then walked out.
“Heh heh heh…” Morosa glanced around, also laughing as he walked out. He had been ordered “not to cause trouble,” but if his master Luo Feng caused trouble, Morosa absolutely supported it.
Aloya and the green-robed attendant followed, still somewhat stunned.
……
In the hall, only Young Master Magili Lian, Lord Duan Moyun, the purple-robed attendant, and a group of subordinates remained.
“This is too…” Magili Lian felt ashamed and angry but had no way out.
“He doesn’t take the Blood Python Society, Dream Flower Pavilion, or Magili Clan seriously.” The red-haired man Duan Moyun was extremely furious, immediately using his communication device to report the detailed situation to the president and vice president of the Blood Python Society.
At this moment, the president and a vice president of the Blood Python Society were attending the Hundred Flowers Banquet.
“I must inform the Pavilion Master.” The purple-robed attendant also immediately reported the entire incident to the Pavilion Master of the Dream Flower Pavilion.
……
Luo Feng arrived at the familiar Lanxing Hall, where food and wine had already been prepared.
The green-robed attendant whispered, “Honored one, today’s incident might cause some trouble.”
Luo Feng glanced at her without saying anything.
He had already been very restrained!
To avoid causing too much trouble for the musician Aloya, he hadn’t taken any action! When he heard Lord Duan Moyun threatening with the Thousand Leaf Vine Grass Clan, Luo Feng had murderous intent.
He despised those who used clans to threaten and coerce.
Killing them would have been satisfying, but it would have brought many troubles to Aloya. So he was very restrained, only giving a few warnings, which was already very merciful!
“Lord Luo He.” Outside, a member of the Blood Python Society respectfully stood at the entrance, saying, “My vice president is also attending the Hundred Flowers Banquet. Hearing that Lord Duan Moyun had a small conflict with you, Vice President Laimo specifically sent me to invite you. Please attend the banquet!”
“Invite me to the banquet?” Luo Feng held a wine cup, “If he wants to see me, he should come to me! Why should I go to him?”
