Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent - Chapter 49: Thoroughly Dealt With
In the City Lord’s Mansion, five avatars of divine power gathered and sat down separately.
“Simultaneously capturing eight formation experts, this time the Shiguo forces dispatched a group of top Eternal True Gods,” said Magili Xiao. “According to the surviving five formation experts, the Shiguo forces are investigating all information about the ‘Huyang City Formation Diagram’.”
“The formation experts were only responsible for repairing a very small area, so they know very little about the complete formation diagram,” said the Huyang City Lord. “Such a big commotion can’t be just for that bit of information.”
The figure in blood-colored armor, Wu Qulou, said calmly, “The formation experts know very little about the complete formation diagram, but they are very clear about the general layout of the Huyang City Formation Diagram.”
Everyone present agreed.
Experts like Entropy Tianyan, who could repair small areas of formations, had high attainments in formations. By observing a part, they could infer the whole and have a general estimate of the layout of the entire Huyang City Formation Diagram.
“They must have a plan targeting the great formation of Huyang City,” said the leader of the Mei Wu Clan solemnly.
“Xue Yun has been very patient and hasn’t made such a big move for a long time,” said Magili Xiao. “I think we should report to Lord Hou and request assistance.”
“Agreed.”
“The capture of formation experts by the Shiguo forces is just the beginning. Once they truly show their fangs, we might not be able to hold the city.”
“Let’s report to Lord Hou.”
Everyone agreed.
They had covered up the incident of ‘Mei Wu Qi slaughtering billions of citizens in the city’ and naturally didn’t dare to ask for help.
However, in dealing with the Shiguo forces, they had every reason to seek assistance.
******
Luo Feng knew little about the open and secret struggles between the City Lord’s Mansion and the Shiguo forces. He was also temporarily staying at Tianyan Gate.
This was also a public statement—Entropy Tianyan, I will protect you!
Two days had passed.
Luo Feng was strolling inside Tianyan Gate, watching the disciples of Tianyan Gate forging secret treasure weapons.
“High Lord,” said Moyu Liuxing, the third brother of the Moyu family, who was instructing juniors when he saw Luo Feng, quickly saluting.
He had considerable talent in forging, and with sufficient resources, he had already stepped into the realm of Void True God. Among the three brothers of the Moyu family, the eldest and the third were both Void True Gods, while only Moyu Qingyan, who followed Luo Feng, remained a True God.
“Moyu Liuxing,” Luo Feng smiled at him, “I heard you got married?”
“Yes, I met a senior sister after joining Tianyan Gate,” Moyu Liuxing mentioned his wife with a slight smile of happiness.
“It seems Tianyan Gate suits you well,” Luo Feng smiled.
There were countless living beings on the Origin Continent, most of whom would never marry because their lifespans were infinitely long, and there was no need for reproduction. Meeting a true love willing to marry was a rare thing on the Origin Continent.
Some extremely powerful beings, with extraordinary bloodlines, would also reproduce some descendants to continue their bloodline.
“Tianyan Gate suits me very well, and Master has been earnestly guiding us,” Moyu Liuxing said.
Suddenly—
Entropy Tianyan hurriedly approached from a distance, leaping to Luo Feng in just two steps.
“Brother Luo He,” Entropy Tianyan said anxiously.
Luo Feng waved Moyu Liuxing away, who immediately saluted and retreated.
“What happened?” Luo Feng asked.
“Three of the eight captured formation experts were killed,” Entropy Tianyan said. “After their deaths, their families might encounter some troubles, so I’ve been keeping an eye on their situation.”
Entropy Tianyan was fond of making friends, and these three were part of his circle, naturally his friends.
“Two of the three families were silently swallowed by ‘Yunbao Pavilion’. Yunbao Pavilion has branches in several major cities of Yuguo and mainly sells mid-to-low-end secret treasure weapons,” Entropy Tianyan said. “Shops like the one I created, Tianyan Gate, and those of other forging experts are small-scale. Yunbao Pavilion is a large commercial power.”
Luo Feng listened.
Selling weapons and secret treasures to Eternal True Gods might yield only a few sales per era.
Selling to True Gods and Void True Gods was the most profitable due to the vast quantities, which could accumulate terrifying wealth.
Just like Divine Kings and Chaos Overlords, who collected ‘residence fees’ from countless True God citizens to amass vast resources.
“Yunbao Pavilion usually wouldn’t bother plundering local families, but this time they did,” Entropy Tianyan said angrily. “It must be that some Eternal True Gods in Yunbao Pavilion’s Huyang City branch got greedy and swallowed those two families.”
“In front of Yunbao Pavilion, those two families had no way to resist. Silently, all their long-accumulated resources, materials, and shops were seized,” Entropy Tianyan fumed. “This could be endured, as Yunbao Pavilion is too powerful and didn’t start a massacre. Though those two families were completely ruined, they at least kept their lives, and not many family members died over the struggle for the properties.”
“But the Qifu family suffered greatly. They were targeted by the dark force ‘Six Lords Alliance’. The core of the Qifu family, tens of thousands of members, was mostly killed, their resources were forcibly seized, and the two children of the Eternal True God were taken to the Six Lords Alliance headquarters by ‘Thousand Eyes Lord’,” Entropy Tianyan said. “They’re probably being coerced into handing over all their inherited resources.”
“Brother Luo He, Qifu Divine Lord was my friend. His family lost most of its members, and I want to save his two children,” Entropy Tianyan looked at Luo Feng. “The Six Lords Alliance won’t show me any respect, so I’m asking you to help.”
Luo Feng frowned as he listened, “The City Lord’s Mansion is just watching? Those three formation experts got into trouble because they were repairing formations for the City Lord’s Mansion!”
“Most of the Eternal True Gods in Huyang City have served the City Lord’s Mansion at some point. When has the City Lord’s Mansion ever cared about the lives and deaths of those Eternal True Gods?” Entropy Tianyan shook his head. “Unless you completely pledge allegiance and become a vassal, the City Lord’s Mansion won’t intervene.”
“I’ll handle this,” Luo Feng nodded, then looked at Morosa, who was enjoying his meal.
With just one look, Morosa understood.
“Master,” Morosa immediately flew over.
“We’re heading out,” Luo Feng said, steering the flying boat towards the Six Lords Alliance headquarters.
……
There were eighteen dark forces in Huyang City, and the Six Lords Alliance was one of them. The headquarters of the Six Lords Alliance was always dimly lit, shrouded in a faint mist, with numerous internal members busy with their tasks.
In one of the halls at the headquarters.
The siblings of the Qifu family sat there, fearfully looking at the red-robed woman in front of them.
“Your father is dead. Possessing treasures is a curse, not a blessing,” the red-robed woman said with a soft laugh. “Earlier, when I asked your family members to transfer the family’s resources, they refused. The result of refusal… most of your family members died.”
“Now it’s your turn,” the red-robed woman looked at the siblings. “Qifu Divine Lord only had you two children. He must have arranged a backup plan for you, probably leaving resources for you at the Yan Feng Pavilion.”
“Do as I say, contact Yan Feng Pavilion immediately, and transfer all resources to me. You can live. Otherwise, you’ll die too, and everything will be in vain,” the red-robed woman looked at these two fat sheep.
As one of the leaders of the dark forces, she had long been hunting for fat sheep.
After Qifu Divine Lord’s death, his two children naturally became fat sheep.
After the death of Diao Rong Yan, his daughter Diao Rongqi was also considered a fat sheep. But since Diao Rongqi had been living in the cave mansion of the Magili Clan, she hadn’t encountered trouble.
“Fortunately, I acted quickly, or else the other dark forces would have taken them,” the red-robed woman, Thousand Eyes Lord, thought.
At this moment, Luo Feng had already arrived at the Six Lords Alliance headquarters with Morosa.
Whoosh.
Putting away the flying boat, Luo Feng and Morosa appeared in front of the main gate of the Six Lords Alliance headquarters.
“Master? Shall we kill our way in?” Morosa was eager to move.
Luo Feng had already taken a step forward.
Boom~~~
Intruding into the Six Lords Alliance headquarters without permission naturally triggered the headquarters’ formation defense. The dark formation roared with power, crushing towards Luo Feng, trying to tear him apart.
“What’s going on?” The members of the Six Lords Alliance, including the Eternal True Gods present at the headquarters, were surprised.
Luo Feng and Morosa stepped into the headquarters, with the invisible aura around Luo Feng’s body shredding the formation’s power.
As they entered the headquarters, Luo Feng instantly locked onto Thousand Eyes Lord and also saw the Qifu siblings next to the red-robed woman, Thousand Eyes Lord! Entropy Tianyan had already given Luo Feng detailed information about these siblings.
“Divine Lord Luo He!” The Six Lords Alliance’s ‘White Mist Lord’ shouted from a distance.
Boom!
With a step
, Luo Feng and Morosa crashed through multiple obstacles, breaking through walls, and arrived inside the hall, standing before Thousand Eyes Lord.
Thousand Eyes Lord looked at Luo Feng in shock, glancing at the broken building fragments around, and greeted with a forced smile, “Thousand Eyes greets Divine Lord Luo He.”
“Divine Lord Luo He.” The other two Eternal True Gods in the headquarters, ‘White Mist Lord’ and ‘Prison Wind Lord’, hurried over, respectful and cautious.
Luo Feng looked at the red-robed woman, ‘Thousand Eyes Lord’, and asked, “Were you the one who acted against the Qifu family?”
The red-robed woman quickly guessed and replied, “I was protecting the two children of Qifu Divine Lord. I didn’t kill those family members.”
“It was her!” the brother from the Qifu siblings shouted, despite his fear, pointing to the red-robed woman.
The red-robed woman glared angrily at the siblings.
“Divine Lord Luo He, I—” the red-robed woman tried to explain, but saw Luo Feng already reaching out.
Panicking, she immediately revealed her true form to survive, transforming into a massive creature covered in bizarre eyes, each capable of harming enemy souls.
Whoosh~~~
Luo Feng’s seemingly ordinary hand pierced through the massive creature, crushing the True God’s heart.
Only the twisted corpse of the True God remained, which Luo Feng collected with a wave of his hand.
White Mist Lord and Prison Wind Lord were stunned by the scene. Thousand Eyes Lord, although not as powerful as the leader of the Blood Python Society, was still an extremely strong Eternal True God, yet she was utterly powerless before Divine Lord Luo He.
“Were you involved in the death of the Qifu family members?” Luo Feng asked them.
White Mist Lord and Prison Wind Lord quickly shook their heads.
They knew a single wrong answer meant death for them too!
