"Luo He God Monarch?" The Super Large Legion Mechanical Treasure observed the inconspicuous small cave residence, yet seemed somewhat wary.
"Martial Uncle, the Sect Master gave orders long ago that Luo He God Monarch's cave residence must not be touched," a disciple said.
"I know."
Though the Heart Shadow Gate army was currently sweeping through with overwhelming force, acting high-handedly as it seized one cave residence after another.
Before they had left Food Country, they had thoroughly investigated Huyang City's details. They knew the owner of every cave residence in Chaos A Zone like the back of their hand. Chaos Armor No. 913 Cave Residence had long been marked on their list as a residence not to be occupied!
"I am the master of Cloud Treasure Pavilion's Huyang City branch. You dare occupy my cave residence?" The Cloud Treasure Pavilion Master had a huge single eye, and he angrily rebuked the descending Heart Shadow Gate disciples.
A Super Large Mechanical Treasure patrolling the skies immediately looked toward him, and an icy voice rang out. "Cloud Treasure Pavilion Master of the Huyang City branch, if you don't want to die, get out at once!"
The Cloud Treasure Pavilion Master looked up and met the gaze of that Super Large Mechanical Treasure. His heart trembled, and he could only lower his head unwillingly. "Fine. I'll move out right away."
With a wave of his hand, he stored away some commonly used items from within the cave residence and took two old servants with him. He could not be bothered with his other subordinates and flew off alone. Those subordinates also fled the cave residence in terror.
"I am Chou Shi San, vice president of the Thousand Stone Merchant Guild's Huyang City branch." A stern old man looked around. "You are going to occupy even my cave residence?"
"Vice President Chou." A Super Large Plant Lifeform slowly descended, its voice much gentler. "Don't make things difficult for us either! If you continue living here, once war breaks out, you could easily be caught in it as well. Don't you agree?"
The stern old man looked at the other party.
In terms of backing, aside from the most transcendent Yan Feng Pavilion, the Thousand Stone Merchant Guild ranked next in Huyang City.
"We will not damage the Thousand Stone Merchant Guild's business, but you Eternal True Gods of the Thousand Stone Merchant Guild should not get involved in the war either." The Super Large Plant Lifeform patiently tried to persuade him.
The stern old man understood that if the merchant guild branch were destroyed, the headquarters might become enraged. But the occupation of cave residences belonging to Eternal True Gods like them was such a trivial matter that it did not even qualify to be reported to headquarters.
The Thousand Stone Merchant Guild did business across many countries. A branch in one large city was utterly insignificant.
Moreover, the few God Kings behind the Thousand Stone Merchant Guild were unwilling to casually involve themselves in the conflict between Food Country and Yu Country.
"Fine, I'll move." The stern old man could only swallow this insult.
Luo Feng soon returned to the cave residence with Moluo Sa and Mo Yu Qing Yan.
"Wow, it's really lively." Moluo Sa stood atop the mountain and looked around. With his strength, he was naturally unaffected by the Huyang City Grand Array and could see the situation at every cave residence in Chaos A Zone. "Heart Shadow Gate is madly occupying cave residences."
Luo Feng was also on the mountaintop, leisurely looking around. "Whether local families, dark forces, or branches of major powers with powerful backing, their cave residences in Chaos A Zone are being occupied one by one."
"Master, they haven't occupied our cave residence." Mo Yu Qing Yan saw at a glance the enormous flying vessel in the distant sky and the Super Large Mechanical Treasures, and he felt rather nervous.
Moluo Sa curled his lip. "They may look arrogant, but they're still clever. They know who they can't afford to provoke."
"Don't brag. Heart Shadow Gate is not easy to provoke either," Luo Feng said with a smile.
The conflict between Marquis Liu Yin and Marquis Jiu Jiang.
There was no need for him to get dragged into it.
For him, the most pressing matter was growth!
The three most ancient Country Lords of Food Country were his true great enemies!
"Brother Luo He." The Huyang City Lord contacted Luo Feng through the Communication Token.
"City Lord, do you need something from me?" Luo Feng flipped his hand and took out the Communication Token.
"Brother Luo He has seen it as well. Heart Shadow Gate suddenly descended upon Huyang City. They are far too powerful; my City Lord's Mansion simply cannot withstand them," the Huyang City Lord transmitted. "The Marquis will soon dispatch forces to support us. But the crucial thing right now is to hold the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord's Mansion... is the core of all Huyang City."
The Three Great Forbidden Zones were important, as they concerned the Huyang City Grand Array.
But the City Lord's Mansion was the true core of Huyang City, this 'super gigantic mechanical city,' and could unleash terrifying might.
Even with Heart Shadow Gate's strength, a direct assault on the City Lord's Mansion would still cost them casualties.
"City Lord, how could I, alone, resist a massive sect like Heart Shadow Gate?" Luo Feng transmitted. "My strength is insufficient."
"No Eternal True God in all Yu Country can resist the entire Heart Shadow Gate alone. But you only need to come to the City Lord's Mansion. With your help, we will certainly be able to hold it completely," the Huyang City Lord transmitted.
"Hide in the City Lord's Mansion with you?" Luo Feng transmitted. "I am merely an unaffiliated Eternal True God. I truly do not wish to be completely dragged into this. An Eternal True God like me getting caught in the conflict between Marquis Liu Yin and Marquis Jiu Jiang might die at any time."
"You need not worry. In a conflict between two countries, Chaos Masters will not bully the weak," the Huyang City Lord transmitted. "As long as you are willing to help, any conditions can be discussed."
"Any conditions can be discussed?" Luo Feng asked. "How about One Hundred Million Universe Sand? If you offer that price to hire me, I will naturally be willing to help."
"One Hundred Million Universe Sand?" The Huyang City Lord was rather stunned. This Luo He God Monarch was truly ruthless.
Such a vast fortune was enough to make even a Chaos Master ache. Though Chaos Masters had a constant stream of income from their fiefs, they also had to support large numbers of subordinates, nurture younger members of their clans, and spend all manner of resources on their own cultivation. They generally did not keep too much in savings.
Spending accumulated wealth to increase one's own strength was what truly mattered.
Being able to carry several hundred million Universe Sand on one's person was already quite good. Some Chaos Masters living hand to mouth spent nearly all their income and would find it difficult to immediately produce even One Hundred Million Universe Sand.
"This price isn't expensive at all," Luo Feng said.
"I'll report it to the Marquis first." The Huyang City Lord did not dare agree. The reward for Blood Cloud Divine Lord back then had only been ten million Universe Sand.
Thirty to fifty million Universe Sand was enough to hire Eternal True Gods at Yu Country's strongest level to join the battle. That was the normal market price. Of course, the premise was that the other party had sufficient time and was willing to come.
"Then report it to the Marquis first." Luo Feng said, then cut off the transmission.
This price isn't high at all. My strength is even a notch above Yu Country's strongest Eternal True Gods, Luo Feng silently thought.
Of course, only a notch stronger.
Although he possessed a Perfect Divine Body, Luo Feng only intended to display strength close to the limit of an Infinite Divine Body. That was logically reasonable. After all, there had never been a cultivator with a Perfect Divine Body anywhere on the Origin Continent before.
If the strength he revealed completely exceeded the scope of an Eternal True God, making him vastly more powerful than even some talented disciples of the Two Great Ancient Nations, it might arouse the suspicions of certain Ancient Existences.
My strength must be normal.
Normal in a way that makes sense. Luo Feng was very cautious. He bore his master Sitting Mountain Guest's hopes of revenge, and even more so the future of the Human Race. Within his Small Universe alone, countless humans lived and multiplied.
Naturally, he had to be cautious. He could not be careless with a single step.
"Master, the surrounding cave residences have almost all been occupied." Moluo Sa looked around. "Only the Five Great Families' cave residences and Master's cave residence remain. Heart Shadow Gate truly acts tyrannically."
"Marquis Jiu Jiang will not just stand by and watch," Luo Feng said.
At the Zhu Clan's former cave residence, the Heart Shadow Gate higher-ups were temporarily gathered here.
The Sect Master and the Eighteen Elders had assembled here.
"Sect Master, only the Five Great Families' cave residences and Luo He God Monarch's small cave residence remain in Chaos A Zone," an elder said. "Should we make a move against the Five Great Families' cave residences?"
"No rush."
The three-eyed man looked around at the elders. "We first need to placate the two dangerous sources within Huyang City. One is Yan Feng Pavilion, and the other is Luo He God Monarch."
The Eighteen Elders all listened.
"Yan Feng Pavilion was jointly established by several of the strongest factions in Yan Feng Ancient Nation. No matter how far the war goes, we must maintain respect for Yan Feng Pavilion. We cannot give them any reason to intervene," the three-eyed man said.
"Understood."
"Only a madman would provoke Yan Feng Pavilion."
The Eighteen Elders all understood clearly. Yan Feng Pavilion indeed did not interfere in disputes between other countries, but neither did it tolerate provocation. Whoever dared provoke it would face consequences far more terrifying than provoking Great Sage Jiu Yuan.
Previously, provoking Great Sage Jiu Yuan had caused one of Heart Shadow Gate's three Chaos Realm experts to die and two to flee, plunging the sect into decline.
If they provoked Yan Feng Pavilion, there would be no escape! The Food Country Lord would likely personally act, capture them alive, and hand them over to Yan Feng Pavilion for disposal.
"I will personally visit Yan Feng Pavilion," the three-eyed man said. "Yan Feng Pavilion has the most terrifying backing in the city, while Luo He God Monarch is the strongest within the city. According to the plan, Heart Eye Elder will pay him a visit."
"Leave it to me." Blind Elder said calmly.
Both had accumulated profound attainment in their realms, but the many inheritances Blind Elder cultivated were considerably stronger than Blood Cloud Divine Lord's.
"Remember, do not make an enemy of him." The three-eyed man looked at Blind Elder.
"Don't worry. I know what to do." Blind Elder nodded.
There was no choice.
Of the Eighteen Elders, none of the other elders dared visit Luo He God Monarch at all! They feared that if a single word went wrong, Luo He God Monarch would kill them!
Yet sending only a Divine Power Clone to visit would seem disrespectful.
Thus, only sending Heart Eye Elder was most suitable!
When Heart Shadow Gate was whole and ruled three Chaos Continents, Heart Eye Elder had been its strongest Eternal True God. After the sect declined, Heart Eye Elder had traveled the Origin Continent and cultivated until now, his accumulation growing ever deeper.
Before long, Blind Elder brought two disciples and quietly arrived outside Luo Feng's cave residence.
"Chaos Armor No. 913 Cave Residence." Blind Elder looked at the cave residence.
A disciple beside him went to knock on the door. As he knocked, invisible ripples spread outward, and the disciple spoke as well. "Heart Shadow Gate's Heart Eye Elder has come to visit Luo He God Monarch."
Soon, the door opened.
Mo Yu Qing Yan smiled. "My master is waiting for you all."
Blind Elder raised his head. He could sense the terrifying aura atop the nearby mountain.
"It truly is an Infinite Divine Body." Blind Elder could sense the aura's vastness and majesty, as though it were boundless and endless. Every time he faced an Infinite Divine Body, Blind Elder's feelings were complicated.
He came from humble origins and had initially cultivated through the Bloodline Path.
Even though he had gradually revealed dazzling talent later on, his divine body ultimately could not compare to an Infinite Divine Body. Even with Heart Shadow Gate's cultivation and its lavish allocation of every kind of resource, though his bloodline had been nurtured to sufficient strength, it was still a notch weaker than an Infinite Divine Body.
Monsters like Yu Tian Hu, whose divine bodies on the bloodline path could rival Infinite Divine Bodies, were still exceedingly rare.
So what if it is an Infinite Divine Body? More than one Infinite Divine Body has fallen to my hands. Blind Elder took a step, and with a whoosh, he had already arrived atop the mountain. His two disciples immediately followed.
Luo Feng sat before a pavilion atop the mountain, leisurely drinking wine as he watched a blind man enter with two disciples.
"Hmm?" Luo Feng could sense that this blind man's aura was restrained, yet the endless sharpness hidden within made even Luo Feng slightly alarmed. That hidden endless sharpness can actually threaten my Life and Death Domain.
The Life and Death Domain was an invisible domain formed by combining Luo Feng's three Chaos Realm moves of the Life and Death path into one.
"Heart Eye greets Luo He God Monarch," Blind Elder said. The two disciples behind him respectfully bowed.
"I have long heard of Heart Eye Elder's great reputation. Please, sit." Luo Feng smiled. "Qing Yan, bring the wine."
