Chapter 101: Hei Fengwang, Returns to the Military Camp Base

And just at this moment, a streak of black light rushed rapidly from not far away!

The streak of black light landed before Lu Qingshan and the others, directly transforming into the figure of a human powerhouse clad in black armor with mysterious green patterns on his face!

"Meng Yao Zu, stop!"

The moment the human powerhouse in black armor with mysterious green patterns on his face appeared, he directly transmitted a voice to the Kong Jin Hou powerhouse of the Meng Yao Zu who was furiously attacking Lu Qingshan.

At the same time, this human powerhouse casually waved out a wisp of Immortal Divine Power, sending it toward Xue Sha Hou, the captain of the Meng Yao Zu squad.

The power of this Immortal Divine Power was not very strong; it seemed to serve only as a warning.

Xue Sha Hou, who was currently in a state of burning Divine Power, emitted an aura far surpassing that of the mysterious powerhouse who had just appeared, yet upon seeing the mysterious powerhouse, a deep look of wariness appeared on his face, and he quickly halted his attack.

Upon seeing this, the other members of the Meng Yao Zu squad also quickly stopped their attacks and then converged toward Xue Sha Hou, the Kong Jin Hou powerhouse.

Seeing the Meng Yao Zu powerhouses retreat, the members of the Xuan Kong Squad did not pursue further but quickly rushed to the side of the newly appeared human mysterious powerhouse, while Captain Xuan Konghou and the others looked at Lu Qingshan with faces full of concern.

In the void, the two forces faced each other from a distance.

One side was led by Xue Sha Hou, a peak Marquis powerhouse with a massive Divine Body, while the Xuan Kong Squad side was led by the newly appeared human mysterious powerhouse.

"Human Camp, Hei Fengwang!"

Xue Sha Hou, the Meng Yao Zu powerhouse, looked warily at the mysterious human powerhouse before him: "Do you intend to stop me?"

Xue Sha Hou himself was a peak Marquis powerhouse, and with a Divine Body stretching over ten kilometers, he was enough to make him fearlessly confront most King Sealed Realm low-level powerhouses!

The Hei Fengwang who had just appeared was actually only a King Sealed Realm low-level Immortal Deity, yet Xue Sha Hou, upon seeing him, treated him as a formidable enemy.

Because the Hei Fengwang was an illusionist whose attack methods were the most bizarre!

It must be known that to kill an Immortal Deity possessing an undying body, aside from using overwhelming strength to directly annihilate their Divine Body, the only remaining path was soul destruction.

And illusionists were most adept at soul attacks!

Soul attacks were bizarre and unpredictable, making them impossible to guard against; therefore, every powerful illusionist was an extremely troublesome existence on the Outer Battlefield, with even powerhouses one realm higher than them unwilling to engage them in battle.

And for Xue Sha Hou, with his massive Divine Body, this was even more so!

He would rather encounter a King Sealed Realm high-level powerhouse with a smaller Divine Body than face the King Sealed Realm low-level Hei Fengwang!

After all, although his soul defense was quite good, it was completely insignificant compared to his huge advantage in Divine Body; by contrast, the Hei Fengwang actually posed a greater threat to him!

Especially since the Hei Fengwang had already publicly revealed three soul slaves on the Outer Battlefield, including one peak Marquis and two high-level Marquis; although these three soul slaves had not yet appeared, they might be hiding in the World Ring carried by the Hei Fengwang at this very moment.

"Foolish Meng Yao Zu!"

The Hei Fengwang looked at Xue Sha Hou and then spoke in a cold voice: "If I do not move to stop you, does that mean I should allow you to kill my human powerhouse?"

"Or do you... wish to fight me?"

Having said this, the Hei Fengwang directly snorted coldly, and immediately a wisp of ethereal Immortal Divine Power instantly drilled into Xue Sha Hou's brain.

Buzz!

Xue Sha Hou, who had already stopped burning his Immortal Divine Power, felt a turmoil in his brain, and subsequently, his entire person's thinking became somewhat sluggish.

Whoosh!

After exerting all his strength to expel the Hei Fengwang's ethereal Immortal Divine Power, a trace of fear flashed across Xue Sha Hou's face: "Hei Fengwang, do you think there is no one in our Meng Yao Zu camp capable of dealing with you? Do you wish to trigger a great war between the two camps?"

"Hmph!"

The Hei Fengwang spoke coldly: "I was merely giving you a lesson; otherwise, the one attacked just now would not have been you, but those few little ones behind you!"

"Moreover, just based on you, a mere Marquis Immortal, do you also wish to trigger a great war between the two camps?"

In fact, while saying these words, the Hei Fengwang was also somewhat wary in his heart.

A single peak Marquis was naturally unable to trigger a great war between the two camps.

However, this Xue Sha Hou before him came from the Kong Jin Hou lineage, one of the Wang Zu of the Meng Yao Zu, and indeed held some status within the Meng Yao Zu.

With the Hei Fengwang's strength, even if he burned his Immortal Divine Power, he might not be able to destroy the opponent through soul attacks within a short time; and once the opponent sent a distress message, it might truly attract other King Sealed Realm Immortal Deities of the Meng Yao Zu, at which point a great war at the King Sealed Realm level might truly erupt.

Moreover, he had come this time only to rescue the Xuan Kong Squad; there was no huge benefit, so there was absolutely no need to burn Immortal Divine Power to fight, let alone trigger a great war between King Sealed Realm powerhouses and put himself in danger.

Thinking of this, the Hei Fengwang continued to speak coldly: "Foolish Meng Yao Zu, get lost quickly!"

"Bastard!"

Xue Sha Hou ground his teeth and said: "Damn it!"

At this moment, Xue Sha Hou was naturally infinitely furious in his heart!

Who was he?

He was a super powerhouse of the noble Kong Jin Hou lineage of the Meng Yao Zu Wang Zu; he was a dignified peak Marquis Immortal, merely one step away from the King Sealed Realm!

He had roamed the Yanji Continent for many years and rarely suffered losses; even if he truly did suffer a loss, it was generally at the hands of King Sealed Realm powerhouses!

This time, leading his squad to deal with the Xuan Kong Squad, he had originally thought it would be a piece of cake, but now his squad had lost a member of the high-level Army Master level, while they had only killed one high-level Army Master of the opponent; how could he bear this?

He, a dignified peak Marquis Kong Jin Hou, had actually fallen to the hands of a human powerhouse whose strength was even weaker than his own?

"Scum of the human camp!"

Xue Sha Hou stared fixedly at Lu Qingshan, who was standing with Captain Xuan Konghou and the others: "You are ruthless enough to dare kill my companion!"

"Foolish Meng Yao Zu!" Lu Qingshan spoke directly in a cold voice: "You can kill my companions, so I cannot kill yours?"

"Good! Good! Good!"

Xue Sha Hou stared fixedly at Lu Qingshan, with endless bloodlust and madness in his eyes: "Despicable human, I have remembered you; you had better pray that you always have the protection of a King Sealed Realm Immortal Deity by your side, otherwise, the next time I meet you, it will be the moment of your demise!"

"Hei Fengwang, you are only relying on your Divine Power being stronger than mine! Just wait; once I step into the King Sealed Realm, let's see if you still dare to be so arrogant!"

Xue Sha Hou glanced at the Hei Fengwang once more, then directly stored his few teammates into the World Ring he carried, and immediately transformed into a streak of light, flying away toward the distance.

"Damn Meng Yao Zu scum!" The Hei Fengwang looked at Xue Sha Hou, who had transformed into a streak of light and fled, and sneered.

He was unwilling to pay a huge price to kill that Xue Sha Hou, but it did not mean he feared the opponent.

Even if that Xue Sha Hou truly stepped into the King Sealed Realm level, he would at most be slightly wary.

After all, his most adept method was soul attack; that massive Divine Body which Xue Sha Hou was most proud of was nothing but a joke to him.

"You must be Lei Bao, who recently joined the Xuan Kong Squad!"

The void around gradually calmed, and Hei Fengwang smiled as he looked at Lu Qingshan: "To have made Tie Xue Hou suffer a loss, and to have held out for so long while he was burning his divine body, is quite impressive!"

"Hei Fengwang!"

Lu Qingshan bowed slightly, then said with a smile: "I was just lucky! If you hadn't arrived in time to rescue me, I would have been in grave danger!"

Lu Qingshan had already learned about Hei Fengwang's background beforehand.

Among the Hei Fengwang-level experts currently active on the Yanji Continent, roughly three hundred belong to the human faction; however, most of these are Hei Fengwang Immortals from countless races across the universe, while only three Hei Fengwang experts belong to the human race itself, and Hei Fengwang is one of them.

Hei Fengwang hails from the famous 'Mysterious Land' planet Augustus, the hometown of the geniuses Mo and Qianshui from the same generation as Luo Feng in the original story; he himself belongs to the Universal Mercenary Alliance, and because he excels in soul attacks, he is quite well-known among the human race.

"Luck is also part of strength!"

Hei Fengwang smiled and said: "However, this time you have thoroughly offended the Meng Yao Zu's Tie Xue Hou; from now on, he will surely hold a grudge against you! If you meet again in the future, he will definitely find a way to deal with you!"

"Thank you for the reminder, Hei Fengwang!" Lu Qingshan hurriedly expressed his gratitude: "I will be very careful from now on!"

Although he did not care much about Tie Xue Hou's hostility, since Hei Fengwang had shown him goodwill, he naturally had to acknowledge it.

"Hmm!" Hei Fengwang nodded slightly.

Just then, Captain Xuan Konghou quickly looked at Hei Fengwang and said: "Hei Fengwang, thank you for your help; I have already transferred two million Hunyuan units to your account!"

After being rescued by an expert in the Outer Battlefield, it is generally customary to give the rescuer some reward; this is an unwritten rule of the Outer Battlefield.

Given the great danger Captain Xuan Konghou's team encountered this time, the fact that Hei Fengwang was able to rush over to rescue them was already very good!

After all, Captain Xuan Konghou had already sent out a distress signal after seeing the situation turn dire, but many teams from the human faction in the surrounding area dared not come to rescue them because the Meng Yao Zu team led by Tie Xue Hou was too powerful.

Only Hei Fengwang, because he and the members of Captain Xuan Konghou's team both belonged to the human race and because he himself excelled in soul attacks, dared to wade into this muddy water!

After Hei Fengwang arrived at the battlefield, he did not engage in combat; he merely helped Captain Xuan Konghou's team successfully force the enemy to retreat, so a reward of two million Hunyuan units was quite appropriate.

Of course, if Tie Xue Hou and his group had not chosen to withdraw at that time, and if Hei Fengwang had been forced into a life-or-death battle, the price Captain Xuan Konghou's team would have had to pay would have been much higher!

"Hahaha!"

After hearing Captain Xuan Konghou's words, a smile appeared on Hei Fengwang's face: "Actually, I didn't do much; I just happened to encounter this matter, then appeared and forced Tie Xue Hou to retreat!"

Although he came to rescue Captain Xuan Konghou's team not for the so-called reward, since Captain Xuan Konghou thought of this, he naturally would not refuse.

After chatting briefly with Lu Qingshan and the others, Hei Fengwang then said directly: "Captain Xuan Konghou, since you are now safe, I will leave first!"

"Thank you, Hei Fengwang!" Lu Qingshan and the others expressed their gratitude once more.

Hei Fengwang nodded slightly, then took out his starship, boarded it, and broke through the sky and departed.

"Let us leave here quickly as well; perhaps other expert teams who have sensed the battle fluctuations are already on their way!"

After Hei Fengwang left, Captain Xuan Konghou also quickly took out a new starship.

However, since the lounge made of F9-grade metal had been damaged by the Meng Yao Zu expert's attack, the starship Captain Xuan Konghou took out this time was an F-grade starship.

Lu Qingshan and the others quickly entered it, and then the starship directly transformed into a streak of light and broke through the sky and departed.

Inside the control room of the starship.

After the starship accelerated to sub-light speed, Captain Xuan Konghou and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But considering that the Meng Yao Zu camp's Tie Xue Hou and others had suddenly ambushed them while they were riding the starship, everyone remained somewhat vigilant.

"Lei Bao, Tie Xue!"

Captain Xuan Konghou quickly looked at Lu Qingshan and the two of Hou Erren: "You two release Meng Yan, Ju Xiang, and An Ying first!"

Hearing this, Lu Qingshan and the other quickly released Meng Yan, Ju Xiang, and An Ying, the three who had been stored in their World Rings, from the World Rings.

Meng Yan and the other three had truly survived a near-death experience this time, and after coming out of the World Rings, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

However, since Leng Xin had fallen into the hands of the Meng Yao Zu expert this time, everyone felt quite sorrowful in their hearts.

After a moment of silence, Captain Xuan Konghou finally spoke.

"In this battle, our Captain Xuan Konghou team can be said to have suffered heavy losses!"

Captain Xuan Konghou said in a deep voice: "Not only did Leng Xin fall into the hands of the Meng Yao Zu expert, but we even failed to retrieve his remains; moreover, all of us others have lost a significant amount of our divine bodies and are severely injured!"

"So I plan to head directly to the Universe Shuttle Point, then return to the Barracks Base as soon as possible to rest and recuperate for a while before returning to continue our adventures; what does everyone think?"

"I agree!"

Vice-Captain Tie Xue Hou quickly said: "This time my divine body lost six percent; to recover in a short time will likely require a great deal of wealth!"

"I agree too!"

"Agreed!"

The remaining members of Captain Xuan Konghou's team nodded in agreement one after another.

The one with the lightest loss this time was Jing Tao Hou, whose divine body was the most massive, but even so, he lost two percent of his divine body, and to recover in a short time would similarly require a great deal of wealth.

As for Lu Qingshan, he was indifferent; after all, he possessed the Infinite Divine Sea Avatar, and he only needed to go to the Divine Kingdom to fully replenish the divine power he had lost very quickly.

However, since Captain Xuan Konghou's team was willing to rest for a while, there was no need for him to oppose it; at worst, he could just act alone later.

After all, Immortal Spirits have great freedom in the Outer Battlefield; after all, even the weakest Immortal Spirit can easily open a Divine Kingdom teleportation channel to leave the Outer Battlefield.

If the army system required Immortal Spirits to be as strict as it requires those at the Realm Lord or Domain Lord levels, I'm afraid many Immortal Spirits would not come to the Outer Battlefield to adventure.

Just then, Vice-Captain Tie Xue Hou suddenly said: "Captain, how should we handle the two million Hunyuan units reward given to Hei Fengwang this time? Should we follow the old rules?"

You must know, Hei Fengwang rescued the entire Captain Xuan Konghou team; according to the rules within Captain Xuan Konghou's team, they naturally could not let Captain Xuan Konghou alone bear the two million Hunyuan units reward.

"Let it go this time!"

Captain Xuan Konghou waved his hand and said: "Everyone suffered heavy losses this time; even if we put all the gains from this time together, it probably wouldn't be enough to restore our divine bodies; I will pay the two million Hunyuan units myself!"

Captain Xuan Konghou is a High-Level Marquis, so his usual gains are naturally the highest.

Although two million Hunyuan units is a huge fortune even for him, since everyone in Captain Xuan Konghou's team has suffered heavy losses, he naturally does not wish for others to take out part of their wealth to pay Hei Fengwang's reward.

On the other side, after hearing Captain Xuan Konghou's words, the other members of Captain Xuan Konghou's team all became anxious.

"Captain, how can this be?"

"Yes, Captain, how can you let you alone pay the two million Hunyuan units?"

"Captain!"

The least injured among them, Marquis Jingtao, said, "How about we go by the old rules? My losses were the lightest this time, so I'll put up twenty percent!"

Seeing this, Captain Xuan Konghou could not help but sigh inwardly.

At that moment, Lu Qingshan suddenly took out a world ring and said, "This is the spoils I obtained after killing that Meng Yao Zu Undying — count it as part of those two million Hunyuan units as well!"

Hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the entire Xuan Kong squad was briefly stunned, then one after another began to refuse.

"That won't do!"

"Right!"

Captain Xuan Konghou said directly, "Lei Bao, earlier you first saved the Nightmare, then together with Iron Blood you saved the Shadow, and in the end you single-handedly held off two Marquis-rank Undying. You are the greatest contributor of our Xuan Kong squad in this battle!"

"And this time you lost the most divine bodies, and your strength has dropped the most severely. Just keep these spoils for yourself. Later, when you're recovering your divine bodies, the rest of us will still need to lend you a hand!"

"That won't do!" Lu Qingshan refused quickly.

With his Endless Divine Sea avatars, recovering divine power required hardly any resources, so there was naturally no need for Captain Xuan Konghou and the others to help.

And so, after several rounds of back-and-forth, the Xuan Kong squad finally worked out a result that everyone found reasonably satisfactory.

Among them, the spoils obtained this time belonged entirely to Lu Qingshan personally, while the losses to each person's divine bodies were borne entirely by themselves;

Apart from that, the two-million-Hunyuan-unit reward given to the Bewitching-Heart King was to be shared jointly by everyone except Lu Qingshan — those with heavier losses like the Nightmare and the others would contribute less, while those with lighter losses like Marquis Jingtao, the Colossus, and the rest would contribute a bit more.

……

After that, Lu Qingshan's group did not encounter any further disturbances, and soon arrived at a cosmic traversal point on the Flame Sacrifice Continent.

Even though they encountered a foreign-race team of only three Undying Gods on their way to the cosmic traversal point, they did not choose to make a move.

After arriving at the cosmic traversal point, the ship quickly accelerated to light speed, then traversed into the Dark Universe.

And so, after a period of sailing through the Dark Universe, Lu Qingshan's group finally returned to the No. 026 military camp base.
