Chapter 48: The Array Experts

Luo Feng took Mo Luo Sa to the cave dwelling of the Zhu clan; after all, they were both in the "Chaos A Zone," and the distance was close.

"As expected of the Zhu clan; the cost of this array alone must be very high, right?" Luo Feng looked at the vast and mighty operating array; the power of the array was the strongest he had ever seen in Huyang City.

With such a terrifying array, the assassin Xin Ying could not kill his way in.

He, Luo Feng, after twenty-plus epochs of cultivation, had improved his realm quite a bit, but even so, he might only have a chance to tear through the array and kill his way in while burning divine power.

"Almost all of the hundred million core clansmen of my Zhu clan live here, so we cannot be careless." Zhu You accompanied him on the side and explained with a smile. "In order to have this array, my Zhu clan also consumed a great cause and effect."

Luo Feng nodded; unlike the five major families which were only branches, the Zhu clan was rooted here and naturally managed their cave dwelling to be as solid as a rock.

Soon, Luo Feng saw a thin old man; the thin old man's skin surface had green secret patterns, and he looked at Luo Feng with a smile: "Luohe Shenjun."

"Clan Leader Chief Zhu Gu." Luo Feng said politely; Clan Leader Chief Zhu Gu's prestige in Huyang City was no less than that of Mo Li Xiao and Xue Yun.

"Please." Clan Leader Chief Zhu Gu led them into the small building.

Chief Zhu Gu, Zhu You, and Luo Feng sat down separately, and exquisite food and wine were served.

"Only today do I have the opportunity to gather with Luohe Shenjun." Clan Leader Chief Zhu Gu looked at Luo Feng and sighed in admiration. "Shenjun has not been in Huyang City for long, but his prestige is the most flourishing in Huyang City today."

"That is just a false name." Luo Feng said.

"Shenjun is humble." Clan Leader Chief Zhu Gu waved his hand, and a jade-green bottle flew over and landed on the table in front of Luo Feng. "2 million Universe Sands; Shenjun can check."

Luo Feng's divine power permeated and checked; it was indeed a full 2 million Universe Sands, not a single bit less. This made Luo Feng secretly sigh; the local forces represented by the Zhu family were also quite unfathomable, to be able to take out such a huge amount of wealth so easily.

"This is the Jie Zhong Jian." Luo Feng also gave the mechanical-style secret treasure "Jie Zhong Jian" to Clan Leader Chief Zhu Gu.

Clan Leader Chief Zhu Gu checked it slightly and put it away.

The transaction was completed, and the atmosphere became even more harmonious.

After eating and drinking enough, Luo Feng bid farewell to Clan Leader Chief Zhu Gu, and Zhu You even personally saw him off.

"No need to see me off."

Outside the main gate of the Zhu clan's cave dwelling, Luo Feng took Mo Luo Sa and drove the flying boat away.

Clan Leader Chief Zhu Gu stood in front of the small building, watching the flying boat leave from afar.

A gentle woman appeared on the side.

"Shenjun Wei, your Jie Zhong Jian." Clan Leader Chief Zhu Gu handed the Jie Zhong Jian to this woman. "Shenjun Wei, you were observing in the dark; did you discover the true strength of this Luohe Shenjun?"

"The feeling he gives me is very unique." The gentle woman said with interest. "I left the Royal Capital to travel to various cities in the Yu Kingdom, and I feel that this Luohe Shenjun is the most stunning one I have ever seen."

Clan Leader Chief Zhu Gu was surprised: "The most stunning one?"

"It's just a feeling." The gentle woman then said, "This transaction troubled Clan Leader Chief Zhu Gu; since the Jie Zhong Jian has been obtained, I will take my leave."

"It's just a small matter." Clan Leader Chief Zhu Gu was still very enthusiastic to serve; in terms of strength, he was no less than this Shenjun Wei. But Shenjun Wei's background was far greater than that of the five major families, so he naturally had to coax her well.

……

In the following days, Luo Feng sold some of his "spoils" from the past to some chambers of commerce in Huyang City, exchanging them all for Universe Sands.

"I now have 3.3 million Universe Sands, and the materials for the third body refinement are estimated to need 3.6 million Universe Sands, plus some accidental losses during body refinement, so I need to prepare a little more." Luo Feng thought. "I'm short of over 300,000 Universe Sands; what should I do?"

He didn't want to sell the Life Blood River and the Wanjie Dunxing Ling, these two mechanical-style secret treasures, for the time being.

He still had some Eternal True God-level armor, weapons, exotic beast materials, etc., which added up to 300,000 to 400,000 Universe Sands.

The "Ye Beast Blood" sent by the City Lord's Mansion before still had more than half left, which was also worth 500,000 to 600,000 Universe Sands. But Luo Feng didn't really want to sell them.

"Short of over 300,000 Universe Sands, I'll just take another bounty mission." Luo Feng nodded slightly. "I haven't made a move for so long; I'm afraid I won't be able to deter those fierce and vicious people."

"Pick one that deserves to be killed." Luo Feng began to check the assassination missions of the Yan Feng Hui Guan's Dark Hall, carefully selecting.

Suddenly—

"Brother Luohe, you must hurry to the Sheng Tianyan Sect." Mo Li Meng sent a message to Luo Feng.

"What happened to the Sheng Tianyan Sect?" Luo Feng was a bit puzzled; the Sheng Tianyan Sect was the artifact forging sect founded by his good friend "Shang Tianyan."

"The Food Kingdom forces have captured several array experts, and it is very likely they will also capture Shang Tianyan." Mo Li Meng sent a message.

Luo Feng's heart tightened.

Over these twenty-plus epochs, Brother Shang had known everything about his confusion regarding body refinement. And after such a long time of interaction, Shang Tianyan could be called his only good friend in Huyang City.

As for Black Butcher, Moyu Hu, etc., their relationships were not very equal, so they were naturally far from being "good friends."

"Qingyan, guard the cave dwelling." Luo Feng ordered, then took Mo Luo Sa and drove the flying boat to quickly leave the cave dwelling. "What's going on?" Moyu Qingyan watched this scene from afar. "Master seems a bit anxious?"

……

Sheng Tianyan Sect.

"Brother Luohe." Shang Tianyan's burly figure took the initiative to welcome him, looking at Luo Feng and Mo Luo Sa who had come out of the flying boat.

"Mo Li Meng sent me a message saying you are in danger?" Luo Feng said.

Shang Tianyan shook his head: "Just tonight, eight array experts in Huyang City were captured and taken away by a mysterious force at the same time. These eight array experts are all Eternal True Gods, and none of them were able to resist."

"Captured at the same time?" Luo Feng was very surprised; capturing an Eternal True God alive was not easy, and to divide forces into eight routes at the same time, and each route could capture an Eternal True God alive, this force was very powerful.

"Yes, most of these eight array experts were in their own cave dwellings." Shang Tianyan nodded. "They were all captured and taken away, and the City Lord's Mansion could not track their traces. With such strength, and doing this, it should only be the Food Kingdom forces."

"Why capture them?" Luo Feng asked.

Shang Tianyan said: "The array of the entire Huyang City is very huge, and it is formed by the perfect combination of a large number of arrays. Over the long years, many array experts have repaired it. There are nine people who have repaired the array and still live in Huyang City, and eight of them were captured tonight! I am the last one."

"They captured eight and let me go." Shang Tianyan shook his head. "The City Lord's Mansion might even suspect that I colluded with the Food Kingdom forces."

！.

Luo Feng understood: "Those eight array experts were all working for the City Lord's Mansion; won't the City Lord's Mansion find a way to save them?"

"I have already asked the City Lord's Mansion." Shang Tianyan looked at the night sky and sighed. "The City Lord's Mansion responded that the moment the eight array experts were captured, their cause and effect communication orders were destroyed, making it impossible to lock onto the location of the eight array experts."

"The City Lord's Mansion should have the cause and effect marks of these eight array experts." Luo Feng said. "With these cause and effect marks, they should be able to deduce the location of the eight array experts."

"Just by using the cause and effect marks to deduce the location?" Shang Tianyan shook his head. "This is a method that only Chaos Sovereigns have."

"The Yan Feng Hui Guan can do it." Luo Feng said.

"The Yan Feng Hui Guan needs 1 million Universe Sands to deduce the location using cause and effect marks." Shang Tianyan shook his head. "The City Lord's Mansion cannot be willing to spend it. According to past experience, once taken away by the Food Kingdom forces, life and death... are decided by the Food Kingdom forces."

Luo Feng nodded slightly.

"So, one cannot get involved in their struggle; once involved, one might be crushed at any time." Shang Tianyan shook his head. "However, those of us who are good at arrays are ordered by the City Lord's Mansion to repair some array damage. And we have no right to refuse."

Shang Tianyan looked at Luo Feng: "I have no collusion with the Food Kingdom; they didn't capture me this time. I guess... they don't want to offend you."

"Nine, and they let me go." Shang said. "The eight who were captured are all my good friends, often discussing arrays with me. I don't know if they can survive this time."

In a secret treasure space.

Xue Yun Shenjun, Yu Tian Hu, and Yu Tian Yi were standing there, and more than ten Eternal True Gods were being interrogated in separate spaces.

The Food Kingdom forces in Huyang City had two teams; one weak team was led by President Chairman Zan Yun, and the other powerful team was led by Xue Yun Shenjun! President Chairman Zan Yun could only contact Xue Yun Shenjun and could not contact Xue Yun Shenjun's many subordinates.

"Answer obediently, and you can survive. If you don't speak, you will die, and your family will also be destroyed." Those Eternal True Gods threatened.

They had many threatening means that could make these array experts wish they were dead.

Not long after, all the captured array experts confessed.

In fact, what they knew was only the tip of the iceberg of the Huyang City array.

"Of these eight array experts, one had already defected to us, and the other seven finally confessed this time." Xue Yun Shenjun said with a smile.

"How to deal with these array experts?" Yu Tian Hu asked.

"Let five go back and kill three." Xue Yun Shenjun said casually. "First, let all parties in Huyang City know that there is no good end to working for the City Lord's Mansion. Second, let them know that our Food Kingdom is still benevolent and will let some obedient Eternal True Gods go."

Yu Tian Hu frowned: "We just need to complete the mission; in my opinion, kill them all."

"Do as I say." Xue Yun Shenjun glanced at Yu Tian Hu, then determined the list of five survivors, which included the array expert who had defected to them.

That night.

The five surviving array experts were released.

……

Inside the Sheng Tianyan Sect.

Luo Feng and Mo Luo Sa sat opposite each other, drinking wine.

Shang Tianyan drank wine, looking at the night sky, feeling quite anxious. Suddenly, his expression changed, and he took out his cause and effect communication order.

"What's wrong?" Luo Feng asked.

"Of the eight captured friends, the cause and effect of three suddenly disappeared." Shang Tianyan looked at the cause and effect communication order. "Cause and effect disappeared; the three of them are dead. They clearly had no power to resist, but the Food Kingdom forces still killed them."
