Chapter 549

Under Xiao Feng's extremely speechless gaze, the Silver Scale King helplessly said: "I'm just stating the facts, without embellishment or downplaying. The Supreme God seems to have known of your existence already; upon hearing you had come, he appeared delighted. After I told him you had slain Itamaru, he merely frowned slightly, then quickly said it was no big deal. And then…… he said he would richly reward you."

When he said this, his expression was also extremely helpless.

He also couldn't figure out why the Storm Supreme God would do this.

Are you afraid?

As a Supreme God, there should be no reason to be afraid.

Unless there is a God‑King‑level existence behind Xiao Feng, this possibility would not exist.

Is it because he's beloved?

Xiao Feng is indeed strong; being able to slay the Cloud Mist King proves he at least possesses top‑tier King‑level strength, and possibly even reached the title‑holder level.

Even so, he shouldn't be so biased, disregarding the feelings of the Cloud Mist King's side, directly declaring 'he deserved death' and then adding the move of 'appointing the killer as king'!

Such a thing would seem unbelievable to anyone!

"Why? Why is this?" Xiao Feng scratched his head, racking his brains but still couldn't figure it out.

The Silver Scale King gave a wry smile and said: "Why not… you go ask the Storm Capital yourself?"

Xiao Feng thought, then nodded: "Sure, I'll go take a look. If he doesn't give me a proper explanation, I'll tear down his kingdom!"

Silver Scale King: ……

Talk of tearing down a god‑nation's capital is something only Xiao Feng would say.

Even the supreme gods of other god‑nations would not so disregard the Storm Supreme God's face and utter such offensive words.

Xiao Feng flew up into the air and headed toward the Teleportation Array.

Just as the retainers of the Cloud Mist King's mansion had left, he also teleported to the Storm Capital.

Seeing the protagonists leave, the many onlookers in Cloud Mist City dispersed.

However, some curious individuals felt very interested and wanted to know what would happen next.

Thus they paid for their own teleportation, bringing their gossip to the Storm Capital.

Soon, many people arrived at the capital of the Storm God‑nation.

Upon exiting the Teleportation Array, Xiao Feng saw that the city was vast, more than twice the size of the War Capital.

Obviously, both being god‑nations,

the Storm God‑nation's influence and wealth are greater than those of the War God‑nation.

On the Zhu Shen Da Lu, a city's grade has no direct relation to the strength of its corresponding faith temple; it merely reflects how hard each generation of city lords has worked—some raise the city quickly, while others are lackluster, leaving it stuck at grade 3 without further construction.

Xiao Feng recalled that the War Supreme God Asata was level 555, which looked rather pitiful.

But that was three thousand years ago; if he had cultivated normally, he should now be around level 600.

The Storm Supreme God was already a supreme god three thousand years ago and did not die an unlucky death; after all these years, his strength should be higher, at least not at the level of a mere gatekeeper of a supreme god!

After leaving the Teleportation Array, Xiao Feng didn't even need a map; he just followed the retainers of the Cloud Mist King's mansion.

Among these retainers, many are quite strong; though not at king level, they are capable Upper Gods, and even in a god‑nation's capital they count as relatively high‑status individuals.

Obviously, some of them had been to the Storm Capital before, and upon exiting they headed straight in a certain direction.

Xiao Feng and several dozen onlookers who had followed for the gossip trailed behind, flying toward the palace city.

Along the way they occasionally admired the cityscape of the Storm Capital, feeling no particular tension.

The architectural style of the Storm Capital is relatively delicate and cute, somewhat like elf cottages, completely different from the grand and imposing War Capital.

Here the houses are basically not large, but space utilization is high; each is small and exquisite, with colorful exteriors, resembling a fairy‑tale kingdom.

Xiao Feng couldn't help thinking: "This kind of place, little loli girls would surely love; if I get the chance I'll bring Dun Dun and Dai Ni Si to play."

He has few loli around him—only these two—and he must not shortchange them!

Sweeping over the city's sky, Xiao Feng soon spotted a palace.

The palace city of the Storm God‑nation is also delicate in style, but its cuteness factor is much lower, adding a sense of solemnity and gravity.

This must be due to status; it cannot be too frivolous.

"Halt! The palace city is a vital area; idlers may not enter!"

The retainers of the Cloud Mist King's mansion had just arrived above the palace city when they were stopped before entering.

This scene, this opening line, is almost exactly the same as when Xiao Feng went to the Cloud Mist King's mansion, except the roles have switched.

The chief Upper God among the mansion's retainers—a person named "Night Wind" at level 460—said: "We are all subordinates of the Cloud Mist Prince's manor; today we heard with shock that the prince has been slain, yet the Supreme God ignores us, instead saying he deserved death and even seeking to appoint the killer as king. We have come specially to ask the reasoning behind this!"

This Night Wind Upper God is full of courage, showing no fear despite being in the capital, the Storm Supreme God's lair; each word rings out, revealing an iron‑clad resolve.

His words moved the accompanying retainers, who all shouted in unison: "Right! This is utterly unreasonable; the Supreme God cannot chill the hearts of his subjects—we earnestly request that he withdraw his order!"

Outside the palace city they dared not make too much of a scene; they could not utter the four words 'Supreme God unjust,' so they used the phrase 'earnest request' to seek a room for negotiation.

Watching from behind, Xiao Feng couldn't help feeling moved: the Cloud Mist King is truly fortunate to have such a group of subordinates.

If it were someone else, with their lord killed and the Supreme God 'turning traitor,' they would surely scatter like monkeys when a tree falls, each going their own way, and would not dare to step forward to petition.

Perhaps because many had come, or because the commotion was too great, a voice immediately sounded from within the palace city.

It said: "Since you've all come, just go inside."

The voice sounded gentle, like a refined young man, speaking softly and somewhat effeminate.

Hearing this, the palace city guard commander hurriedly gave a distant salute: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Then he told everyone: "You may go in, but within the palace city flying is forbidden; you must walk on the ground."

Thank you!

Night Wind and the Cloud Mist Prince's retainers landed on the ground, entered through the gate, and hurried toward the palace.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng followed, but did not land; he continued flying.

The palace city guards wanted to stop him, but then heard the gentle voice say: "Warrior Xiao Feng, you may enter directly; I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Upon hearing this, the guards naturally dared not block him.

And the servants' anger had built up a bit more, becoming uncontrollable; they rushed up the steps furiously, intending to go inside and confront.

Xiao Feng heard this and was somewhat surprised.

What does the Storm God Sovereign mean by these words?

Could it be that they had already prepared to meet him even before today?

No matter what, we'll know as soon as we go inside and take a look!
