Chapter 550

Xiao Feng flew toward the palace, arriving at the main hall's door a step faster than those Yunlan King's mansion retainers.

He stepped inside, and instantly felt many gazes fall upon him.

A glance left and right revealed that inside the Storm King Palace's main hall there were exactly eight rows, each with over twenty ministers!

These ministers all possessed Upper God strength, among them not lacking king-level powerhouses and marquis-level figures, their aura extraordinary!

Xiao Feng roughly counted: there were four king-level around level 480, and seventeen marquis-level around level 460.

Such a lineup, such scale, clearly surpasses the War God Nation by more than a notch!

Over a hundred ministers stared at him, several hundred eyes seeming to pierce his body, examining him especially closely.

Perhaps due to the crowd, Xiao Feng felt a pressure pressing on him, wanting to make him lower his head.

But he had over sixty billion HP, two main god artifacts on him, and Ten Thousand Times talent as his trump card—there was absolutely no reason to bow his head!

From stepping over the threshold, he kept his head high and chest out, walking straight to the hall's center.

Looking up, a youth in cyan-white robes sat on the hall's dais, holding a peacock feather fan.

He appeared under thirty, with a pale, clean-shaven face, brown hair, green eyes, soft facial features, and a somewhat overly effeminate appearance.

Glancing at his info, a sensation of an entirely new realm washed over him!

【Main God·Storm Lord——Han Que (Comprehending the Law)】

Level: 688 (Intermediate Main God)

HP: Unable to be seen through

Follower scale: Known throughout the world (over 1 billion people)

Note: Monarch of the Storm God Nation, merging the Storm Heart, while located on the Storm God Nation's continent, possesses an immortal indestructible body!

Xiao Feng was astonished to discover that behind the boss's name, the parentheses no longer held the words "Mythic/Transcendent Mythic Leader", but were replaced with "Comprehending the Law"!

What does "Comprehending the Law" mean? Could it be that one needs to comprehend some kind of law?

A level 688 Intermediate Main God, whose number is neither ending in 5 nor 0, is also relatively rare among NPCs, clearly showing that Main Gods are vastly different from ordinary spirits.

The unfathomable HP, the added "Follower Scale" attribute, and the note's "immortal indestructible" description all broadened Xiao Feng's horizons.

This is a Main God……

Looks like he's really not to be provoked!

Moreover, this guy actually bears the name "Han Que", which gives off a vibe of a native of Longguo!

But his facial features still lean toward foreign, his eyes glowing green, his facial contours very clear, like a forest

elf within.

"Seeing the Main God Your Majesty, and you still don't pay respects?" a king-level powerhouse barked in a low voice.

Xiao Feng glanced at the speaker.

This guy is named Karlayat, titled "Feather-Shatter King", a birdman with twin wings on his back, level 485, decent strength, roughly able to withstand half a fireball.

"What ceremony? I'm just here to eat melon; you guys hurry and discuss the situation with Yunlan King's retainers, pretending I don't exist." Xiao Feng curled his lip, having no intention to pay respects.

He originally intended to arm-wrestle the Main God, but things developed unexpectedly, no fight broke out, leading to this situation.

Even if the Storm Main God's attitude toward him was surprisingly good, it couldn't change his core idea of not wanting to join the Storm God Nation but rather wanting to fight.

"How bold, daring to be arrogant before the Storm Hall!" the Feather-Shatter King shouted angrily, extremely displeased with such an ignorant person, feeling an urge to strike right then.

Xiao Feng pulled out the Sword of Civilization with his left hand and the Apocalypse Smoke Staff with his right, planting both weapons in the ground as crutches, and said coolly: "I'll be arrogant; if you don't like it, bite me!"

"You!" the Feather-Shatter King exploded in rage, about to strike on the spot.

At that moment, the Storm Main God pressed his hand down helplessly: "Let's be calm, we're not mortal enemies; there's no need for such fury."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the retainers of the Yunlan King's mansion arrived outside the hall.

The Upper God named Nightwind said: "Your Majesty Main God, please forgive my frankness, but today's matter truly involves a mortal grudge!"

Speaking, he stepped into the hall and locked eyes with Xiao Feng from afar.

Xiao Feng quickly nodded, echoing: "Mm, indeed indeed, I agree with that."

All the ministers looked at him, feeling incredulous.

Could this adventurer have water in his brain?

The Main God Your Majesty didn't hesitate to abandon the Yunlan King's retainers to protect him, clearly intending to win him over.

Such an obvious intention goes unnoticed, yet he actively continues to provoke, even fanning the flames to have the Yunlan King's relatives come here to see Your Majesty and file a complaint in court.

What on earth is this?

Even if he doesn't want to accept the ennoblement, there's no need to give the Majesty such a loss of face, right?!

At this moment, everyone harbored doubts.

Some didn't know why Xiao Feng was so fearless, others didn't know why the Main God favored him so much.

And Xiao Feng himself didn't know why the Main God wanted to win him over.

The root of all these problems actually lies with Main God Han Que.

This big shot held a peacock feather fan, lightly

swaying.

Hearing Nightwind's words, he said: "I've already said it, Yunlan King Itamaru coveted others' treasures, tried to seize them but failed and was killed instead; it's his own lack of skill, no need to pursue."

The retainer Nightwind immediately replied: "But Your Majesty, our prince went to seize the Main God artifact to present it to you! Even if you don't back him, you shouldn't…… you should pity our lord's loyalty and uphold justice for him!"

He originally wanted to say "shouldn't be so cold-blooded and heartless", but such words carry a sense of disrespecting the monarch and overstepping, easily angering the Main God, so he had to rephrase.

The Storm Main God replied: "The matter of the Main God artifact already had a conclusion on Zhu Shen Da Lu; why bring it up again? Itamaru acted on his own initiative, nearly putting me and Xiao Feng the warrior at odds; I bear in mind that he is already dead and do not pursue, which is already lenient. Your questioning—what is the reasoning?"

"Your Majesty, this……"

Nightwind was momentarily at a loss for words, blocked and not knowing how to answer.

This means…… the Yunlan King simply brought trouble upon himself; dying was his just deserts?

But... he truly acted out of loyalty!

Before Ye Feng could speak again, the Storm God said again: "Don't mention loyalty. Even if he presented the divine artifact, it was merely to exchange for primordial spiritual energy from my hand, hoping to break through his realm. This was for his own sake, having nothing to do with loyalty. Yita Maer has been corrupt and embezzling in Cloudmist City for years, and I have always turned a blind eye. Now that he is dead, you servants, go your separate ways; I will not hold it against you. If you insist on causing trouble, chattering endlessly, don't blame me for turning hostile and ruthless!"

The Storm God, an existence that has ruled the divine kingdom for tens of thousands of years, speaks with inherent authority.

Ye Feng and the other servants of the Cloudmist King's Mansion, upon hearing this, dared not retort any longer, each breaking out in cold sweat.

The Cloudmist King sought to exchange the divine artifact for primordial spiritual energy in hopes of breaking through; this aim was obvious to many.

Under normal circumstances, everyone would praise him with a single phrase: "Truly loyal."

But now that this person is dead, such an act would appear overly purposeful—not loyalty, but a transaction!

Moreover, the corruption—this is truly the case, and the servants know it better than anyone!

Once the matter is exposed and settled, even they, as subordinates, won't be able to get away scot-free!

"Anything else to say?" the Storm God gazed coldly at the people below.

"I... I admit my fault!" Ye Feng lowered his head, daring not to speak further.

The Storm God waved his hand: "Withdraw."

"Yes..."

All the servants of the Cloudmist King's Mansion fell silent like cicadas in winter; the vigor they had upon arrival vanished completely, leaving only lingering fear.
