Chapter 36: Accepting Bounty Missions Again

In Meng Hua Lou, besides the two distinguished guests Luo Feng and Zhu You, there were two other distinguished guests tonight.

"Hmm?" Both figures saw the outside through the hall door and noticed the figures of Luo Feng and Zhu You flying past from afar.

"That's Zhu You and Luohe, right." The blue-haired man said in surprise, "Luohe's name is heard often now; he destroyed a dark faction single-handedly and killed the President of the Blood Python Society; that is truly remarkable!"

"It's just a dark faction." Another purple-robed young man sneered, "The nineteen dark factions, they sound prestigious. But in front of our five major families, don't they still have to bow their heads obediently? Most of the Universe Sand they earn has to be offered to our five major families."

"Brother Mei Wu, our family is strong, but in terms of individual strength, God Monarch Luohe is much stronger than us." The blue-haired man said.

"Brother Jiang, don't flatter these loose cultivators." Mei Wu Qi said indifferently, "Even if they possess quite strong strength based on comprehension and temporary opportunity. But every step they take forward is extremely difficult; top-tier inheritance, precious resources, master's guidance... they have to fight for every opportunity, how can they compare to us children of major clans? These resources, we are born with!"

The blue-haired man gave a self-deprecating smile and raised his wine cup: "We are born with abundant resources, yet we barely became Eternal True Gods. In terms of talent, we are far inferior to Luohe and Chief Zhu Gu. They still have hope of impacting the Chaos Sovereign level, while we see no hope at all."

"The limit of the bloodline path is the Chaos Sovereign. Every item must be very powerful; we see no hope." Mei Wu Qi smiled, "But people like Luohe and Chief Zhu Gu, even if they fight with their lives, it will all be in vain!"

"Mm, it is indeed very difficult for an Eternal True God to become a Chaos Sovereign." The blue-haired man also admitted.

The number of Chaos Sovereigns in the entire Origin Continent is not large, and factions like the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom, the Thunder Ancient Kingdom, and some terrifying factions are better at cultivating strong people and are more likely to cultivate Chaos Sovereigns.

In the civilian population, producing a Chaos Sovereign? The probability is ridiculously low.

"In the Origin Continent, we children of royal families and major Chaos clans are born high above. Even when fighting to the death with the Food Kingdom, it is the so-called powerful Eternal True Gods like Luohe and Chief Zhu Gu who rush to the front. If we win, we continue to rule Huyang City. If we lose, at worst we leave Huyang City." Mei Wu Qi laughed.

"We major Chaos clans only support the clan because a Chaos Sovereign was born." The blue-haired man said, "These powerful Eternal True Gods like Luohe and Chief Zhu Gu go to fight to the death one by one; with so many top-tier Eternal True Gods tempered by life and death, new Chaos Sovereigns will eventually rise. While we, however, have no hope forever."

"We have no hope, but they have no life." Mei Wu Qi laughed loudly, "I have seen many such cases of powerful Eternal True Gods falling."

……

Luo Feng and Zhu You took their seats, while some of the servants they brought sat in the corner.

While listening to A Luo Ya's illusion music, Luo Feng naturally employed the Seven Emotions Heart-Refining Method of the "Lie Yuan Shu", completely immersing himself in it. Although he usually maintained the "Great Annihilation Heart-Refining Method" to temper his willpower in daily life, occasionally practicing the "Seven Emotions Heart-Refining Method" had a different flavor.

"This Luohe really likes A Luo Ya's illusion music; no wonder he fell out with the Blood Python Society because of this little musician back then." Zhu You watched from the side; he was an Eternal True God after all and was not much affected by the illusion music. But seeing Luo Feng close his eyes and immerse himself completely, he found it hard to speak.

After the performance ended.

"Good, good, good." Luo Feng opened his eyes; he had cultivated until now, and naturally, there were many regrets in his heart, but he could make up for them in the illusion, and the emotional stimulation was extremely intense.

"The Exalted praises me too much." A Luo Ya was very grateful to Luo Feng in her heart, and her performance was naturally done with all her might.

Luo Feng's emphasis made her status in Meng Hua Lou increase greatly; the price of her performance was ten times what it used to be! And no one dared to harass her anymore; even the 'Qianye Tengcao Clan' behind her had a much easier time in Huyang City; clearly, no faction was willing to become the second Blood Python Society!

"You have improved a lot; keep working hard." Luo Feng smiled; with the assistance of the "Seven Emotions Heart-Refining Method", the intensity of A Luo Ya's illusion music was indeed very suitable.

"Yes, A Luo Ya takes her leave." The little musician bowed and retreated.

Zhu You watched this scene and smiled: "Brother Luohe is truly benevolent, taking such care of even a little musician."

"Hahaha..." Luo Feng laughed, "Just now I was immersed in that illusion music and neglected Brother Zhu You."

"I was also enjoying this illusion music." Zhu You said, "Brother Luohe, how deep is your understanding of this Huyang City?"

"Only some shallow cognition." Luo Feng said.

Shang Tianyan had sent him intelligence on all factions in Huyang City, including introductions to many Eternal True Gods; those were all basic intelligence introductions. If it were extremely detailed intelligence, the detailed intelligence of an Eternal True God would be extremely expensive.

"Brother Luohe has only been in Huyang City for a little over an epoch, so the time is still very short." Zhu You said, "When the time is longer, you will naturally understand many secrets."

"I haven't been in Huyang City for long, and I have only had conflicts with the Blood Python Society; I haven't fought with other strong people." Luo Feng said.

"You have indeed only had conflicts with the Blood Python Society, but it led to the complete destruction of the Blood Python Society." Zhu You smiled, "Now the five major families and the Food Kingdom factions are all eyeing you."

"Oh?" Luo Feng listened.

"The City Lord's Mansion and the Food Kingdom factions fight fiercely, but both sides will use other strong people to fight to the death." Zhu You said, "Offering some benefits to lure outside strong people to help is a common thing they do. Brother Luohe, with your strength, both sides will definitely try to win you over."

"My suggestion is, you can help with easy tasks to get benefits! But don't get involved in some big troubles." Zhu You said, "Preserving yourself is more important."

"Makes sense." Luo Feng nodded.

"In the entire Huyang City, besides the five major families of the City Lord's Mansion and the Food Kingdom factions, there is actually our third-party faction." Zhu You said softly with a smile, "In terms of the number of Eternal True Gods and top-tier strong people, our local families and local factions are the strongest."

Luo Feng nodded slightly; it seemed loose, but the total amount was indeed very large, and there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers among them.

"Brother Luohe, you are not a member of the five major families. Even if you attach yourself to them, you are just working for them. The Food Kingdom factions care even less about the lives of their pawns." Zhu You looked at Luo Feng, "You naturally belong to our side."

"Makes sense." Luo Feng nodded.

Zhu You laughed after hearing this: "We are on the same side! To be practical, no matter who rules Huyang City, for us local families and local factions, how much difference does it make?"

"For God Kings and Chaos Sovereigns, they might lose a lot of tribute, which they care about. But for us, it's all the same; we all have to pay a large amount of fees."

"So no matter how crazily the City Lord's Mansion and the Food Kingdom factions fight, we must cherish our own lives." Zhu You shook his head, "They have never cared about our life and death."

Luo Feng nodded: "Brother Zhu You's words make sense."

"As long as we are united enough, we are the strongest force! Both the City Lord's Mansion and the Food Kingdom factions can only lure us with benefits, but dare not force us." Zhu You was clearly very confident.

Suddenly—

A powerful fluctuation appeared faintly outside.

"What's going on?" Luo Feng and Zhu You looked through the hall door and saw a Three-Sword Heaven-Splitting Beast appear in the high sky in the distance; a figure flew out from the surface of the Three-Sword Heaven-Splitting Beast, and it was none other than the Huyang Guard Commander 'Gao Wu Shui'.

……

Mei Wu Qi and Jiang Chengyou came to the hall entrance with some doubts, looking at the mechanical-flow secret treasure 'Three-Sword Heaven-Splitting Beast' that had descended outside the main hall, both feeling that the visitor was not kind.

"Meng Hua Lou is originally a place for enjoyment, yet Commander Gao Wu brought the Three-Sword Heaven-Splitting Beast here." Mei Wu Qi looked at Gao Wu Shui, "Commander Gao Wu, what is the purpose of coming here?"

"Commander Gao Wu, come in and have a drink; other Huyang Guards can also rest on the side; my treat." The blue-haired man Jiang Chengyou smiled and said.

Gao Wu Shui said coldly: "Mei Wu Qi, the Huyang Guard has received evidence of you capturing a large number of subjects in Huyang City and ravaging and killing them! Now you need to follow me to the Huyang Guard Headquarters."

The blue-haired man was surprised. Mei Wu Qi's face sank, and under the influence of his aura, the night became a bit gloomier; he said hoarsely: "Commander Gao Wu, I am Mei Wu Qi of the Mei Wu family; are you sure you want to arrest me?"

"Is there a misunderstanding?" Jiang Chengyou also spoke.

"The Huyang Guard's duty is here; I naturally have to arrest you!" Gao Wu Shui looked at Mei Wu Qi, "Mei Wu Qi, come with me!"

"You people are attached to my five major families, yet you turn around and bite the children of my five major families?" Mei Wu Qi sneered, "Gao Wu Shui, I will report this matter to the City Lord's Mansion right now; I want to see how the City Lord's Mansion handles this matter."

"How the City Lord's Mansion handles me is a matter for the future. Now, you have to come with me." Gao Wu Shui said coldly, "I will count to three; if you resist, I will have no choice but to take action."

"Three, two..." Gao Wu Shui did not waver at all.

"Boom—"

A deep purple winding strange beast shuttled through the void and appeared out of thin air above Meng Hua Lou, causing many guests in Meng Hua Lou to exclaim.

Luo Feng and Zhu You also watched all this from afar.

"Commander Gao Wu is truly remarkable; he has started arresting Eternal True Gods of the five major families." This deep purple winding strange beast slowly descended, and an armored figure appeared on the head of the strange beast.

！.

"Even children of royal families and major Chaos clans must obey the laws of the Yu Kingdom." Gao Wu Shui said coldly, "This Mei Wu Qi has committed heinous crimes, causing disaster in Huyang City for a long time, harming countless subjects, and acting recklessly outside Huyang City. Just when 'Fang Jiu City' was breached by a herd of strange beasts, hundreds of millions of subjects were plundered by him. The number of subjects tortured to death by him is in the hundreds of millions! Such sins, how can they be lightly forgiven?"

"You are slandering me! As a child of the five major families, how could I act so recklessly?" Mei Wu Qi scolded angrily.

The armored figure chuckled: "Slandering children of the five major families happens often. Commander Gao Wu has only just taken on the position of Huyang Guard Commander; he is still lacking in experience."

"Whether it is slander or not, he will follow me to the Huyang Guard Headquarters first; after verifying the truth, there will be a decision." Gao Wu Shui said.

The armored figure walked to Mei Wu Qi's side, with the winding strange beast figure behind him: "Commander Gao Wu, you only need to submit the evidence to the City Lord's Mansion; the City Lord's Mansion will naturally verify the truth of the evidence, and how to punish him, the City Lord's Mansion will also decide. You don't need to intervene."

Gao Wu Shui guessed that he would encounter heavy resistance, but he did not expect that he could not even take the first step of 'taking Mei Wu Qi away'.

"Commander Gao Wu, you don't need to intervene in the matter of Mei Wu Qi anymore; return to the Huyang Guard Headquarters immediately and submit all the evidence you found." An order from the City Lord's Mansion came.

Gao Wu Shui's heart went cold, and he sighed in his heart.

"Even if I take him back to the Huyang Guard Headquarters, I'm afraid I won't be able to hurt him at all." Gao Wu Shui thought to himself.

Before the City Lord's Mansion made a decision on the trial, he dared not kill an Eternal True God of the five major families without authorization. If he dared to do so, his master Mo Li Xiao would not be able to protect him.

The experiences of his youth did indeed make him righteous and hate evil. But he would not sacrifice himself for a Mei Wu Qi.

"I will submit the evidence; I believe the City Lord's Mansion will have a fair judgment!" Gao Wu Shui glanced at Mei Wu Qi and turned to fly into the Three-Sword Heaven-Splitting Beast.

Whoosh!

The Three-Sword Heaven-Splitting Beast immediately shuttled through the void and left.

"Hahaha..." Mei Wu Qi finally relaxed completely and laughed, "This Gao Wu Shui is simply an idiot. He even wanted to arrest me?"

……

Luo Feng, who was watching all this from afar, was a bit surprised.

"Brother Zhu You, is what that Commander Gao Wu said true? Fang Jiu City was breached by a herd of strange beasts, and hundreds of millions of subjects were plundered by this Mei Wu Qi?" Luo Feng asked, "He tortured hundreds of millions of subjects to death?"

This number did indeed shock Luo Feng.

After all, the laws on the surface of the Yu Kingdom are still very strict.

"It is indeed true; you will know when you live in Huyang City for a longer time; Mei Wu Qi is a famously crazy demon." Zhu You said, "His secret treasure 'City of Sin' imprisons who knows how many innocent subjects; the number of those tortured to death by him over the long years is indeed countless."

"The five major families indulge him like this?" Luo Feng frowned.

"The five major families can restrain many dark factions; if they dare to cross the bottom line, the five major families can kill them. But they cannot kill their own." Zhu You shook his head, "There is plenty of evidence of Mei Wu Qi's madness! If you don't believe me, you can buy intelligence from the Yan Feng Pavilion."

Luo Feng looked into the distance; Mei Wu Qi was chatting and laughing with another Huyang Guard Commander.

"I want to buy all the evidence of Mei Wu Qi's crimes." Luo Feng contacted the Dark Hall of the Yan Feng Pavilion through the communication token.

"All evidence of Mei Wu Qi's crimes requires 1 Universe Sand." The Dark Hall responded.

"Purchase."

After Luo Feng bought it, the Dark Hall of the Yan Feng Pavilion sent detailed evidence.

This evidence made Luo Feng's face cold; Mei Wu Qi was even more crazy than he imagined; he was a madman whose heart was completely twisted and insane; he ravaged those innocent subjects, wanting to create sufficiently powerful twisted souls through 'painful ravaging'.

"To create powerful twisted souls through pain, the Dark Hall of the Yan Feng Pavilion records that he has sixteen outstanding works. Sixteen True Gods, whose tortured twisted soul willpower is comparable to Eternal True Gods." Luo Feng said softly.

"He even brought his works to show off in front of me." Zhu You sighed.

"The Yan Feng Pavilion also has a bounty on him." Luo Feng found the bounty on Mei Wu Qi.

The bounty is only 20,000 Universe Sand.

It is estimated that someone who really couldn't stand him spent the Universe Sand to put a bounty on him.

"Accept the mission." Luo Feng accepted the mission to assassinate Mei Wu Qi with a thought.

"Don't worry about these things; there are many dark things in the Origin Continent, and there are many things we can't do anything about." Zhu You said, "It's not easy for our own families to survive safely."

Luo Feng stood up: "Brother Zhu You has family concerns, but I am unburdened; if this matter is before me, if I turn a blind eye, my heart will not be clean!"

"This filth should be wiped away!"

Luo Feng took a step, whoosh, and he was already out of the hall, heading straight for where Mei Wu Qi was.
