Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent - Chapter 50: The Overbearing Divine Lord Luo He

—

Members of the Six Lords Alliance headquarters could barely make out the figures of Luo Feng, Lord White Mist, and Lord Prison Wind through the damaged buildings. These ordinary members were so terrified that they didn’t dare approach.

Lord White Mist and Lord Prison Wind were extremely fearful, terrified of ending up like Lord Thousand Eyes.

“This has nothing to do with us,” Lord White Mist said anxiously.

“That was Lord Thousand Eyes’ prey. She would never allow us to interfere,” Lord Prison Wind added. “We even tried to persuade her, considering that it was the family of the Eternal True God. We couldn’t afford to be too harsh. But she just wouldn’t listen!”

Lord White Mist continued, “Most of the Eternal True Gods in Huyang City know each other. We have to be more restrained in our actions. But Lord Thousand Eyes was just insane, acting recklessly…”

Luo Feng frowned slightly.

Lord White Mist and Lord Prison Wind immediately fell silent.

“The intelligence I have also points to Lord Thousand Eyes. So, you get to escape this time,” Luo Feng said coldly.

Lord White Mist and Lord Prison Wind breathed a sigh of relief. Only when facing Divine Lord Luo He did they feel such suffocating pressure. They had no doubt that if they displeased him, Divine Lord Luo He would kill them without hesitation.

“I’ve already killed Lord Thousand Eyes, who directly acted. As for the five of you, forget it, just pay a fine of 300,000 cosmos sand, and I’ll spare your lives,” Luo Feng said indifferently.

“300,000 cosmos sand?” Lord White Mist and Lord Prison Wind exchanged glances and immediately used their communication orders to contact their other three companions.

They were terrified of Divine Lord Luo He.

But 300,000 cosmos sand was a significant amount of wealth. Divided among them, each of the five had to come up with 60,000 cosmos sand! They also needed substantial resources for their own cultivation and to purchase heritage and secret treasure weapons. Most of them couldn’t produce such an amount.

“Divine Lord Luo He, we have contacted the other three companions,” Lord White Mist said in a flattering tone. “But we consume a lot of resources ourselves and cannot produce too much cosmos sand.”

“If you can’t produce it, you can die,” Luo Feng said, looking at them. He had no sympathy for the Eternal True Gods of the dark forces.

“No, no…” Lord Prison Wind explained, “We can sell our secret treasure weapons to gather some cosmos sand. It’s just that over the past twenty eras, we’ve never offended you, Divine Lord, and we weren’t involved in the Qifu Family matter. We are wronged. Can you reduce the penalty? 300,000 cosmos sand is a lot of pressure on us.”

“The dark forces have started to talk reason one day?” Luo Feng looked at them with a sneer. “Haven’t you always been hunting? Randomly selecting prey in your territory and killing them wantonly. Did those prey provoke you?”

Lord White Mist and Lord Prison Wind remained silent.

“Slaughtering and plundering all beings for your gain. Killing all of you wouldn’t be unjust! It’s just that Origin Continent is everywhere, and I, a mere Eternal True God, can’t manage it. But if you offend me, I will kill you and fine you, and you have opinions?” Luo Feng looked at them. “Since you want to bargain, the price for your lives has changed. Now it’s 500,000 cosmos sand.”

“You five Eternal True Gods of the Six Lords Alliance, come up with 500,000 cosmos sand, and you can live. If not, you can die,” Luo Feng said leisurely. “I’ll give you a day to prepare.”

“500,000 cosmos sand?” Lord White Mist and Lord Prison Wind’s hearts trembled.

“Any objections?” Luo Feng looked at them.

“No objections, no objections,” Lord White Mist and Lord Prison Wind immediately shook their heads, not daring to talk reason any further.

“By the way, pass a message to the three Eternal True Gods of Yunbao Pavilion,” Luo Feng instructed. “Tell them that since they swallowed the resources of two great families, considering they didn’t wantonly massacre, their fine is the same as yours, 500,000 cosmos sand. They have one day to prepare.”

“Yunbao Pavilion’s fine is also 500,000 cosmos sand?” Lord White Mist and Lord Prison Wind felt slightly better for some reason.

It seemed they weren’t the only ones unlucky.

“We will definitely pass on the message,” Lord White Mist responded quickly.

“You only have one day.”

After speaking, Luo Feng collected the Qifu Family siblings, who had been trembling and hiding in the corner, and then left with Morosa.

Whoosh.

Within a few steps, they were already out of the Six Lords Alliance headquarters and then boarded a flying boat, breaking through the air and leaving.

Lord White Mist and Lord Prison Wind silently watched the scene.

“The City Lord’s Mansion bowed to Divine Lord Luo He in the end. We can’t resist at all,” Lord Prison Wind sighed.

“That fool Lord Thousand Eyes. I told her long ago, when looking for prey, don’t target Eternal True God forces. It’s endless trouble. She just wouldn’t listen. She died, but it also cost each of us 100,000 cosmos sand.”

“Lord Liu An was also a fool. He suggested we talk to Divine Lord Luo He. This talk increased the price from 300,000 cosmos sand to 500,000 cosmos sand,” Lord Prison Wind said angrily.

“Since Divine Lord Luo He wants us to pass on the message, we should relay it to Yunbao Pavilion,” Lord White Mist immediately took out the communication order to deliver the message.

—

In the Yunbao Pavilion branch in Huyang City, there were three Eternal True Gods guarding it.

Yunbao Pavilion was backed by the Chaos Overlord, so even a branch was respected by all parties in Huyang City. Even the forces of Shiguo wouldn’t easily provoke Yunbao Pavilion.

“What?” The Pavilion Master and two Deputy Pavilion Masters of Yunbao Pavilion were stunned when they received the message.

“This Divine Lord Luo He is so bold! He dares to demand 500,000 cosmos sand from us?”

“Our Yunbao Pavilion was founded by ‘Marquis Tianbao’. He dares to insult us like this?”

In Huyang City, who wouldn’t give them some respect?

The branches of major forces were relatively aloof, and although they didn’t hold the status of the Yan Feng Pavilion branches, they often interacted with the Five Great Families.

“What should we do?” The Pavilion Master, surrounded by black mist, asked angrily.

“This Divine Lord Luo He is too much, but we can’t report this to the Marquis. First, this matter is our private gain. The Marquis would severely punish us if he found out. Secondly, Yunbao Pavilion’s business spans most of the cities in Yuguo. The Marquis wouldn’t bother with such trivial matters.”

Because the Marquis was too lazy to deal with minor issues and only cared about the final accounts, they dared to profit under the name of ‘Yunbao Pavilion’.

If three ordinary Eternal True Gods forcibly seized all the resources of two formation master families, there would be significant backlash. Like Lord Thousand Eyes, who relied on ‘killing’ to force resource transfers.

But under the name of Yunbao Pavilion, they could intimidate all parties and quietly finish the job.

Over the long years, they had become proficient in such matters.

The income from Yunbao Pavilion was too little for them. Profiting this way was their main source of wealth.

“500,000 cosmos sand is too much,” the Pavilion Master said. “I’ll visit Divine Lord Wei. If Divine Lord Wei is willing to help, this matter should be resolved.”

The two Deputy Pavilion Masters nodded.

“Yes, Divine Lord Wei.”

“If Divine Lord Wei is willing to help, this would be a small matter.”

500,000 cosmos sand would force them to sell their armor and weapons, nearly losing their lives. Naturally, they wanted to delay it.

Marquis Tianbao wouldn’t care about such a small matter, and they wouldn’t dare tell him, so they could only think of other ways.

After thinking it over, they realized they couldn’t risk angering Divine Lord Luo He and could only rely on Divine Lord Wei.

“I’ll go right now,” the Pavilion Master said, not daring to delay, and immediately visited Divine Lord Wei.

—

Not long after.

The Pavilion Master returned.

“How was it?” The two Deputy Pavilion Masters felt uneasy, thinking that if there was good news, it would have been communicated earlier.

The Pavilion Master’s giant eye looked aggrieved. “Divine Lord Wei refused and scolded us, telling us to obediently pay the 500,000 cosmos sand. In her judgment, if we don’t pay, Divine Lord Luo He will act.”

“Luo He dares to kill us?” one Deputy Pavilion Master panicked.

“He dares to kill the Five Great Families. Do you think he wouldn’t dare to kill us? Alas, the Marquis won’t intervene in disputes among Eternal True Gods,” the Pavilion Master shook his head. “Forget it, endure it from Luo He. His arrogance will have its consequences.”

“Killing the Five Great Families and threatening us, such arrogance will have its backlash,” the two Deputy Pavilion Masters lamented, feeling the pain of losing cosmos sand.

“We’ll each contribute part of the 500,000 cosmos sand,” the Pavilion Master said.

“When we profited, you took half, and we divided the rest. This time should be the same. You contribute 250,000 cosmos sand, and we will contribute 250,000 cosmos sand together,” the two Deputy Pavilion Masters said, being much poorer than the Pavilion Master.

“I can’t come up with 250,000 cosmos sand right now.”

“You can sell treasures or borrow.”

“This Divine Lord Luo

He is really ruthless, demanding 500,000 cosmos sand from our Six Lords Alliance?” The Six Lords Alliance was also troubled by the need to gather 500,000 cosmos sand.

That day.

Luo Feng’s forceful entry into the Six Lords Alliance headquarters was not concealed, and the news naturally spread in Huyang City. The Pavilion Master and Deputy Pavilion Masters of the Six Lords Alliance and Yunbao Pavilion were trying to sell treasures to gather cosmos sand, and the news slowly spread.

Killing Lord Thousand Eyes and demanding 500,000 cosmos sand from both the Six Lords Alliance and Yunbao Pavilion?

This news drew attention from all forces in Huyang City. After twenty eras of silence, Divine Lord Luo He was still as overbearing as ever.

“Divine Lord Luo He.”

Lord White Mist and the Pavilion Master of Yunbao Pavilion went together to the Yan Feng Pavilion to visit Luo Feng!

Luo Feng was temporarily staying at the Yan Feng Pavilion, which was no secret to the Eternal True Gods of Huyang City.

“In one day, they came,” Luo Feng said as he stood up, with Entropy Tianyan and Morosa watching.

“It was our recklessness that angered you, Divine Lord. Please forgive us,” Lord White Mist respectfully presented a jade bottle. “Here is 500,000 cosmos sand, all gathered.”

“Please forgive us, Divine Lord,” the Pavilion Master of Yunbao Pavilion humbly presented another jade bottle. “Here is 500,000 cosmos sand, and we have also properly settled the two families’ descendants.”

Entropy Tianyan watched, feeling deeply moved.

Like Entropy Tianyan’s disciples and the Qifu Family siblings who were rescued, they all witnessed this scene from a distance.

Two major forces in Huyang City respectfully visiting and handing over 500,000 cosmos sand without any complaints. This scene deeply impacted these disciples and the Qifu Family siblings.

“Alright, you can leave now,” Luo Feng said as he accepted the two jade bottles. His divine power scanned through them to confirm that the cosmos sand was all there.

Lord White Mist and the Pavilion Master of Yunbao Pavilion bowed and left.

After they left, the disciples watching from afar began to discuss.

“Did you see Divine Lord Luo He’s might?” A woman beside Moyu Liuxing exclaimed. “Liuxing, I heard you once had a chance to follow Divine Lord Luo He? But you gave it up?”

“I didn’t want to take the risk,” Moyu Liuxing smiled at his wife. “Though I gave it up, my second brother followed the Divine Lord, and I met you here at Yan Feng Pavilion.”

The woman smiled and sighed. “But you did miss a great opportunity.” She felt sorry for her husband.

She knew very well how important a great opportunity was on the path of cultivation.

—

Entropy Tianyan and Luo Feng walked side by side within the Yan Feng Pavilion.

“In one day, one million cosmos sand, and the other party obediently handed it over. I have to admit, I’ve learned something new,” Entropy Tianyan said with emotion.

“The three Eternal True Gods who died, their families will have a hard time,” Luo Feng said. “I know you’ll take care of them, but since I profited from their deaths, I should contribute something.”

Luo Feng handed a jade bottle to Entropy Tianyan. “There’s not much in here, only 30,000 cosmos sand. You can use it to settle those three families.”

“30,000 cosmos sand is a lot. Ordinary Eternal True Gods wouldn’t have this much even if they sold all their treasures,” Entropy Tianyan said quickly. “It’s enough to settle their families.”

“You handle it,” Luo Feng said, placing the jade bottle in Entropy Tianyan’s hand.

Entropy Tianyan didn’t refuse any further.

Luo Feng looked at the distant night sky. “I’m going to retreat for a while. Be careful.”

With enough wealth accumulated, it was time for his third body refining.
