Chapter 245

"Hmm, judging by the aura, it should be near Stormwind City. You can go check it out. Didn't you say you killed a mid-rank god before? I feel this divine envoy must have come to investigate this matter, or to deal with those things at the Stormwind God's Temple." La Luo Na Er analyzed.

Ariel

La Luo Na Er, as a top-tier demigod, is extremely sensitive to the aura of Shen Jie, able to accurately sense the direction of a divine envoy's descent.

If this descending divine envoy is indeed related to the Wilderness Hound God and the Stormwind God's Temple, then his appearance might provoke hostility from the Shen Jie emissaries!

The more fierce and domineering the other party is, the happier Xiao Feng becomes.

Only then can he righteously slay a god!

"All right, Master, then I'll go take a look. Once I figure out the cause and effect of this matter, I'll come back to keep you company for a game of chess!"

Xiao Feng stood up, said farewell to La Luo Na Er, and left the Heart of the Earth Lake.

La Luo Na Er wore a smile, and after Xiao Feng left, he used his willpower to set up another chessboard, simultaneously separating a strand of soul power from his body to form another semi-virtual, semi-solid body—one controlling the fire element, the other controlling the earth element—and then he played chess against himself.

Xiao Feng returned from the Heart of the Earth Lake, and just as he stepped out of the Teleportation Array, he saw a group of high-level NPCs gathered at the gate of the Cheng Zhu Fu, chatting.

The soldiers who had been blocking the gate had already withdrawn; standing at the gate were Deputy Commander Ha Te, City Defense General Ba Te Man, and Standing Army Commander Pa La Si, among others.

Grand Commander

Seeing this, Xiao Feng walked over and asked, "What are you doing? Have you heard about the divine envoy's descent?"

Divine Envoy

That adventurer, with the word "handsome" emblazoned on his head, looks exactly like the War City Lord Xiao Fashen—he's clearly the same person!

Divine Realm Divine Envoy

He also enthusiastically shouted, "Xiao Feng warrior!"

As for these people's reactions, Xiao Feng felt nothing special, and replied, "I've heard that a divine envoy has descended; I suspect it may be related to the earlier assassination of the Cassius City Lord, so I want to investigate."

Deputy Commander Ha Te looked bewildered and said, "Xiao Feng warrior, the matter of the Cassius City Lord's misfortune is a secret; how did you find out? Moreover, even if you know, this is an affair of our Cheng Zhu Fu and the Stormwind God's Temple; as an adventurer, you have no need to worry about it for us."

Obviously this deputy commander, who has been beaten before, still doesn't know that Xiao Feng is deeply involved in this matter.

Before Xiao Feng could answer, Pa La Si said first, "Xiao Feng warrior is the outstanding among adventurers; since he's interested, we have no reason to refuse."

Then he said to Xiao Feng, "Warrior Xiao Feng, we have just come from the temple, and we indeed heard that we sensed the aura of a Shen Jie emissary descending. However, this time is different from usual: the divine envoy did not descend from the temple's divine power pool, but appeared near Wind Fury City. Bishop Ni Te Lu thinks this may be suspicious, so he plans to summon a few more strong individuals to go take a look, to prevent any accidents."

Evidently, in his view, Xiao Feng, the lord of War City, holds a position and strength of great importance, and he is very concerned about the Cassius matter.

"So you're now planning to wait for A Rui Er to join you and go with the temple people to Wind Fury City?" he asked.

Pa La Si nodded and said, "Yes. After all, this is the matter of the city lord and the temple's grand archbishop falling together; the high-ranking officials in our city are all in chaos. If a Shen Jie divine envoy comes to give guidance, perhaps the situation will improve."

City Lord's Mansion

He then changed his tone and said to everyone, "Your ideas are good, but in my view, this Shen Jie emissary comes with ill intent; your strength is insufficient, so it's best not to go."

"Huh? War… ah no, Xiao Feng warrior, what brings you to say this?" Parlas asked, almost revealing his identity.

Xiao Feng's expression turned serious, and he began to spout nonsense with a straight face.

"According to my sensing, the Shen Jie figure descending this time ought to be a companion of the Wilderness Hound God… oh… the Wilderness Hound God is the culprit who caused Kaxius's downfall. He is a powerhouse of the Wilderness Beast tribe among the myriad worlds, hostile to the temple itself, so naturally he could not descend into the temple. This descending divine envoy is very likely here to avenge the Wilderness Hound God; if you rashly go, there's an eighty to ninety percent chance you'll be slain!"

"What!"

"There's actually such a thing?"

"Good heavens! Fortunately we have battle… Xiao Feng warrior's reminder, otherwise we'd likely be in mortal danger!"

Several generals heard this and were greatly startled.

Just then, Arel's figure walked out from the Cheng Zhu Fu.

"Parlas, what do you need from me?" Arel asked.

This burly first tank of Stormwind City had slightly red eyes.

Kaxius has been dead for two or three days already, and he still hasn't emerged from his grief.

"Marshal, it's like this…"

Parlas briefly explained the situation to Arel.

Upon hearing this, Arel's expression changed, and he immediately snapped: "If that's the case, then I must go together with Xiao Feng warrior to kill that damned Wilderness Beast tribe's divine envoy!"

The death of his close friend Kaxius is an eternal pain in his heart.

This deep hatred and great grudge cannot be appeased without the divinity of a hundred eighty Wilderness Beast tribe members!

Hearing this, Xiao Feng hurriedly said: "Don't don't don't, Arel, don't get worked up; they're truly a god, strong as hell, even if you go all out you'll just be delivering yourself as a meal. Better leave it to me—I'm far stronger than you, and I don't fear death; even if the opponent is a god, I can wear him down!"

Actually he had no idea what identity the Shen Jie envoy had; everything he said was pure fabrication.

The reason he stopped these NPCs from seeking the divine envoy was fear that, if the envoy turned out to be "one of our own," he wouldn't be able to act against them.

He, Xiao Feng, has come back this time especially for god-slaying!

With Stormwind City NPCs present, he still has to be a bit wary, after all he currently doesn't want to fall out with the main city of the Longguo homeland.

And if there are no NPCs around, no matter what god comes, just kill them all and be done!

Upon hearing this, Arel, filled with righteous indignation, declared: "Even if my strength is lacking, I must contribute! Xiao Feng warrior, don't dissuade me—let's go together, slay the Wilderness Beast tribe's divine envoy, and let all rewards go to you!"

Parlas hearing this hastily interjected: "Arel, you're crazy! Xiao Feng warrior doesn't care about any rewards at all; he just doesn't want you to risk yourself! We've already decided to nominate you as the new city lord, so you can't act recklessly as before!"

"Ah yes yes yes, Kaxius just died, you need to stay and shoulder the burden; leave the fighting to me!" Xiao Feng quickly echoed.

"This..."

A Rui Er showed a troubled expression.

He really wanted to fight the divine envoy of the Savage Beast Tribe.

But after thinking it over, as a pure melee knight, I probably couldn't help much; going would indeed be of little use.

Thus he sighed helplessly, nodded and said: "Alright then, Warrior Xiao Feng, I'll entrust this matter to you. Oh right, this is a bottle of divine medicine from the Stormwind City treasury; it can temporarily boost your strength, you might find it useful."

Saying that, he handed Xiao Feng a bottle of potion glowing with seven-colored light.
