Chapter 19
Inside the Fire Realm Eatery, in a secluded small building.
"These past two days, there have been many factions visiting you, Brother Luohe." Entropy Tianyan sat opposite Luo Feng, while Su Jie was responsible for serving on the side, respectfully bringing food and fine wine, whereas the servant Mo Luo Sa could only wait outside the small building.
Luo Feng sighed with emotion: "Quite a few factions went directly to my cave dwelling to visit. When I went to the Master Master Meng Hua Tower, there were factions waiting there as well. That is why I hid in this Fire Realm Eatery; this small eatery is at least quiet enough!"
"Haha, the moment you forced the Blood Python Society to bow their heads and pay compensation, you were already among the very top-tier handful in Huyang City," Entropy Tianyan laughed. "I don't know how many Eternal True Gods are envious; for ordinary Eternal True Gods like us, our influence is far from comparable to yours, Brother Luohe."
Among Eternal True Gods, the gap is also extremely vast.
The strength of the divine body, the disparity in weapons, secret treasures, and armor, the difference in secret arts, the difference in the realm of laws, the difference in bloodline talents, the difference in willpower... all these factors make the gap ridiculously large.
"If I am not mistaken, the City Lord's Mansion's rating of you has likely already been raised to Grade A," Entropy said.
"Grade A?" Luo Feng was curious.
"An Eternal True God whom even a Huyang Legion cannot handle is generally Grade A. At this level, the City Lord's Mansion will not easily make a move," Entropy said.
Luo Feng thought and said: "A Huyang Legion is commanded by a top-tier Eternal True God, with ten thousand Void True Gods and tens of millions of elite True Gods driving the legion's mechanical secret treasures together. With the legion's power combined, the power erupted already possesses a portion of Chaos Realm might."
"With your strength, Brother Luohe, even if you cannot resist head-on, you can still play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, leaving a Huyang Legion helpless," Entropy Tianyan laughed. "You didn't even use weapons or secret treasures, and with one hand you grabbed the True God Heart of the Vice President Lai Mo. Anyone can see that once you erupt with full power, even if there is a gap, you can still maneuver against a Huyang Legion by relying on various secret arts."
Luo Feng smiled and did not say much.
Is a Huyang Legion very strong head-on? With Eternal True Gods, Void True Gods, and massive amounts of True Gods all added together, in terms of the quantity of divine power and the purity of divine power, none of it compares to his own! It is just that that legion-type mechanical secret treasure is slightly stronger than his own 'Wings of Shi Wu'.
The result of a head-on collision is not that he cannot afford the consumption, but that a Huyang Legion cannot withstand the consumption!
"Looking at your smile, you didn't take a Huyang Legion too seriously," Entropy Tianyan raised his glass. "For this, we must have a drink."
"Drink." Luo Feng smiled and drank the wine.
"However, Brother Luohe, you must never look down on the City Lord's Mansion because of this. The ten great Huyang Legions, the Huyang Guards... these are only the deterrent forces on the surface," Entropy said. "This large city, built and refined over endless years, is one of their true reliances. If truly pushed to the limit, I am afraid that Chaos Sovereigns, or even God Kings, would break through the void and arrive!"
"I am not so foolish as to provoke the City Lord's Mansion," Luo Feng also knew this point.
"Of course, the entire Marquis Jiu Jiang Chaos Province is the fief of 'Marquis Jiu Jiang'. What is the status of Marquis Jiu Jiang? Without a heaven-shaking matter, he would not rush to Huyang City," Entropy said. "Therefore, as long as you do not provoke the ruling status of the City Lord's Mansion, there is no need to worry about attracting a Chaos Sovereign. But you must remember one thing..."
Entropy Tianyan's expression became much more solemn.
"Please speak, Brother Entropy," Luo Feng said.
"Never get involved in the conflict between the Food Kingdom and the Yu Kingdom," Entropy Tianyan said in a low voice. "This is the most terrifying whirlpool in Huyang City. Once you are dragged into it, no matter how strong you are as an individual, you could be crushed into fragments."
"The conflict between the Food Kingdom and the Yu Kingdom?" Luo Feng was curious.
"Since its establishment, the Food Kingdom has been constantly expanding and encroaching on its surroundings. It is now adjacent to our Yu Kingdom, so naturally, there are many conflicts," Entropy said. "As a large border city, the secret conflicts in Huyang City have never stopped. For example, that Chairman Zan Yun Society is a merchant guild of the Food Kingdom."
Luo Feng nodded and said: "The president of the Chairman Zan Yun Society even went to my cave dwelling to visit me yesterday, but I didn't pay much attention to him."
Just because the other party came from the Food Kingdom, Luo Feng was unwilling to associate too deeply.
"It was right not to pay attention to him," Entropy Tianyan said. "After all, it is a large border city; the Yu Kingdom has no reason to prohibit normal trade. The Chairman Zan Yun Society is very well-behaved on the surface, but the Food Kingdom has long since secretly dispatched a batch of Eternal True Gods into the city."
"As long as the Food Kingdom is willing, they can dispatch more powerful forces at any time," Entropy said. "This is also the greatest disaster for Huyang City."
"One day, when the two great kingdoms start fighting, it would be very normal for this place to be beaten into powder."
Entropy Tianyan sighed and picked up his wine glass.
He had spent his life mainly living in Huyang City, so naturally, he did not want to see Huyang City beaten into ruins.
"We cannot do anything about the conflict between the two great kingdoms; let's just take things as they come." Luo Feng also drank with him. He still liked Entropy Tianyan as a friend; his personality was forthright, and when he asked about his confusion regarding body refinement, Entropy Tianyan did not hide anything.
As one of the top artifact refiners in Huyang City, Entropy Tianyan was much stronger than him in artifact refining. Without a master's guidance while contemplating the "Chaos Great Strength Diagram", he naturally encountered some confusion. For Entropy Tianyan, a few words broke through the key points.
If he studied it by himself, with his solid foundation in the laws, he could also comprehend it, but it would just take more time and he would take some detours.
The other party was willing to guide him, and Luo Feng still cherished this friendship.
The two of them ate, drank, and chatted. Although he had obtained a piece of intelligence about Huyang City, chatting with Entropy Tianyan gave Luo Feng a deeper understanding of the various factions in Huyang City.
"I have to say, this eatery has a unique flavor," Entropy Tianyan praised as he stood up to leave.
"I also quite like it here; their roasted meat is chewy enough," Luo Feng said. His perfect divine body was too powerful, and ordinary delicacies were too weak to stimulate him, appearing too bland.
As they spoke, they walked out of the small building together. Outside the small building, Mo Luo Sa immediately hid the wine jar.
At this time, Luo Feng and Entropy Tianyan both saw a woman with a furry tail in front, followed by a guard. "This is 'Diao Rong Qi' of the Diao Rong family, the daughter of Diao Rong Yan," Entropy Tianyan introduced.
"Greetings, Uncle Entropy," Diao Rong Qi smiled and bowed.
"Are you here to visit Brother Luohe?" Entropy Tianyan asked with a smile. "How did you find this place?"
Diao Rong Qi hurriedly explained: "Hearing about the matter of the Venerable Luohe at the Master Master Meng Hua Tower, I really wanted to visit. Later, I only learned from my guard that the Venerable Luohe might come to the Fire Realm Eatery."
Luo Feng watched this scene with interest. The guard beside this woman was the young True God named 'Su Yun' from the tribal team he had saved back then.
"Venerable," Su Yun hurriedly explained respectfully, "I live with my brother Su Jie. While chatting, I accidentally learned that the Venerable had been to the Fire Realm Eatery."
"That is quite a coincidence," Luo Feng looked at the woman with the furry tail, Diao Rong Qi. "What is your purpose in coming to find me?"
"To take you as my master!"
Diao Rong Qi's eyes were very bright. "I want to take the Venerable as my master."
"Your father is an Eternal True God, and you come to take me as your master?" Luo Feng looked at her.
"My father is skilled in medicine refining, not in combat," Diao Rong Qi bowed respectfully. "I am willing to offer five thousand Universe Sands, only hoping to take the Venerable as my master."
!.
Luo Feng shook his head and looked at Entropy Tianyan: "Brother Entropy, let's go."
Entropy Tianyan did not persuade him; after all, taking a disciple was a very serious matter, and he flew away with Luo Feng.
"Venerable," Diao Rong Qi said urgently, "please give me a chance, a chance for a test."
"Take my master as your master? You think quite beautifully!" Mo Luo Sa glanced at Diao Rong Qi, then followed Luo Feng and left together.
Diao Rong Qi stood where she was, thought for a moment, turned and walked away, while ordering: "Su Yun, you continue to stay at the Fire Realm Eatery. Once you discover the Venerable Luohe, notify me immediately."
"Yes," the guard Su Yun replied respectfully, watching his young lady leave.
"Su Yun," Su Jie walked over, "how could you casually spread the news that the Venerable is here?"
The guard Su Yun looked at his brother and said: "My young lady wants to visit the Venerable, and she has no malicious intent. Why can't I say it?"
"We run an eatery business and must protect the secrets of our distinguished guests," Su Jie said. "You are my brother, so I told you privately. You didn't even say a word to me before telling your young lady?"
Su Jie sneered: "The Venerable didn't blame me, yet you, as my brother, are blaming me."
"The Venerable has a good temper and didn't blame you, but if you encountered someone with a bad temper, you would be finished!" Su Jie said urgently. "In Huyang City, especially when it involves Eternal True Gods, one can never be too cautious!"
"Being cautious everywhere, when can we break through?" Su Jie said coldly. "When an opportunity comes, you must grasp it! Just because of this news, I have already been granted a secret art!"
Su Jie was stunned.
Since they came from the tribe to Huyang City, after clarifying their own bloodlines, they wanted to find ways to purchase secret arts suitable for themselves. But good secret arts suitable for themselves were too expensive.
"Su Yun has already obtained a secret art?" Su Jie had very complicated feelings for a moment.
On one hand, he was indeed happy for his brother; on the other hand, he also felt the gap between them. He was still an apprentice, working hard to save up Chaos Crystals to buy secret arts. And it could be expected that it would take a very, very long time.
"The tribal leader said that one must be cautious in Huyang City. No rush, my lifespan is still very long, I don't lack this bit of time," Su Jie suppressed his emotions.
Blood Python Society headquarters.
"These past two days, the most famous person in all of Huyang City is that Luohe," Vice President Mu Lin shook his head and said. "Mentioning Luohe means mentioning our Blood Python Society."
"Can you shut up?" Vice President Lai Mo said angrily.
"I don't care about these discussions," President Mu Yang frowned and said. "What I care about is that we paid 20,000 Universe Sands in compensation. I am too poor now, and every Universe Sand is very important to me."
Vice President Mu Lin and Vice President Lai Mo looked at each other.
"Both of us are out," Vice President Mu Lin said hurriedly.
"President, what I could borrow, I already borrowed for you long ago. This time you helped me pay 18,000 Universe Sands; counting it up, you still owe me 5,000 Universe Sands," Vice President Lai Mo said.
The two vice presidents were also a bit puzzled; the president 'Mu Yang', who possessed the vast majority of the Blood Python Society's resources, had always been very poor! He had borrowed from them until they were both afraid!
