Volume Eight: City Builder Authority

"My current strength is roughly equivalent to that of Hall Master Wei Yang and Hall Master Gai Tao," Luo Feng replied. At this moment, almost all his energy was focused on comprehending the Life-Death Path. At his level, he could divide his thoughts into billions! Especially after consuming the 'Hundred Tribulations Marrow,' his comprehension greatly increased, and the speed of his thought processes increased by three thousand times.

His conversation with the Hall Master Yuan Xiang, including his previous annihilation of an elite infiltrator team, had less than a fraction of the impact on his energy.

"Comparable to Hall Master Wei Yang and Hall Master Gai Tao?" Hall Master Yuan Xiang was overjoyed.

"Such strength is not enough to change the situation." Luo Feng showed no excitement whatsoever.

"Luo Feng!"

The Hall Master Yuan Xiang said urgently, "I have already requested assistance from the Dark Holy World. A team of Xing Zhe from the Dark Holy World has already set off and should arrive in a little over a day. What we need is to delay them until they arrive."

Faced with the siege and attack of the lower life forms, the Nine Rivers Holy World was unable to provide support from within.

The Nine Rivers Holy World possesses two beings at the 'Two and Half Primal Chaos Level Dao' realm, but they only send avatars to oversee the situation. The most important treasures are in the Dark Holy World, and they do not have the ability to invade Rain Ripple City from the outside.

"Luo Feng, I hope you will accept the authority of the 'City Builder'," the Hall Master Yuan Xiang transmitted. "Since I established Rain Ripple City, I have never considered myself the City Lord. I know that I am severely corrupted, and I have been waiting for a suitable successor. You are that suitable successor."

Luo Feng was taken aback.

The City Builder's authority is transferred to himself?

"My strength has not yet completely surpassed that of Hall Master Wei Yang and the others," Luo Feng transmitted. "After the war, Hall Master Wei Yang's clone should return to Rain Ripple City."

"Ignore him. The most important thing for Rain Ripple City right now is to defend it!" the Hall Master Yuan Xiang transmitted. "As for you, you've only been in the Nine Rivers Holy World for two thousand five hundred epochs, yet you've already reached the strength of Half Primal Chaos level Enlightenment Seeker. Your talent far surpasses mine. It's actually a blessing for Rain Ripple City that you've come to take charge!"

"Luo Feng, the situation is urgent, there is no time to hesitate!" the Hall Master Yuan Xiang urgently sent a message.

"Okay, then I'll accept the City Builder's authority." Luo Feng didn't hesitate any longer.

On one hand, he was confident in himself, believing that his strength would quickly surpass that of Hall Master Wei Yang, and that he would be able to sweep away all those who disagreed.

On the other hand, this is indeed a critical moment, concerning the lives of hundreds of millions of Xing Zhe in Rain Ripple City. By taking over the City Builder's authority and receiving some assistance from Rain Ripple City, he can also unleash greater power.

"Good!"

The Hall Master Yuan Xiang sent a message: "Immediately send a clone to the outer city. I will give you the detailed address. Come here and I will hand over the 'City-Building Seal' to you."

Luo Feng only realized that the Hall Master Yuan Xiang was hiding here after receiving the detailed address.

"Your taking over Rain Ripple City must be kept secret. No one other than me should know about it," the Hall Master Yuan Xiang warned. "Because if the news leaks out, the Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform lifeforms will hunt you down at all costs."

"I understand," Luo Feng said knowingly.

Faced with the king and the leader's true forms attacking at any cost, he himself was not confident that he could withstand it.

Luo Feng had a thought.

The strongest clone protecting the Dharma Quiet Room waved its hand and retrieved one of the Grand Void Dark Pupil Ship Quiet Room. At this moment, the clone, having consumed the 'Hundred Tribulations Marrow,' had already entered the Grand Void Dark Pupil Ship to cultivate.

"When the Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform Legion attacks the city, I can't even concentrate on my cultivation." Luo Feng had no choice but to spare some of his thoughts to do many other things.

He now had to participate in the defense of the city.

If he doesn't participate, Rain Ripple City will fall even faster! The time left for him to break through the 'Life-Death Path and Death' will only be shorter.

Even while busy with external affairs, his comprehension efficiency remained extremely high after consuming the Hundred Tribulations Marrow, and he continued to perfect the 'Life-Death Path'.

"Call."

The strongest clone quietly left, leaving behind only an ordinary clone with a hundred times the Perfect Divine Body Energy Reserve, which, with the help of the Pill Pavilion formation, still guarded the place.

With Luo Feng's current cultivation level, even an ordinary clone is stronger than the Master of Strange Workshop and others. With the Pill Pavilion Formation, his strength is formidable enough.

"My lord, we were hunting down the Pavilion Master Chang Qing of the Pill Pavilion. But we encountered a terrifying Blood Sea Formation at the Pill Pavilion, and our elite infiltrator team was wiped out." The leader's true form immediately transmitted the message.

That elite team had eight leader-level clones. After the clones were destroyed, the real body naturally knew everything.

"Blood Sea Formation? Pill Pavilion? It's Xing Zhe Luo Feng!" Wang immediately confirmed. Before launching the war, they had infiltrated and naturally had already acquired sufficiently detailed information.

"Should we target Luo Feng and find a way to hunt him down?" the leader asked in a message.

"Unnecessary!"

Wang's eyes were icy. "At this critical moment, every single member of our infiltrator team is crucial! Xing Zhe Luo Feng should be no less powerful than the Master of Insect Nest or the Myriad Shadow Pavilion Master. Xing Zhe at this level have numerous clones, making them very difficult to kill. With the help of the Pill Pavilion's formation, his strength is probably approaching that of the Three Hall Masters."

"During the siege, our main task now is to kill those weak elders."

"Weak elders are easier to kill. Every elder who dies weakens Rain Ripple City's defenses," the king ordered. "Luo Feng is not an elder; do not waste your resources on him."

"Yes," the leader replied.

According to the information we have, killing Luo Feng is probably more difficult than killing twenty ordinary elders!

Besides the more than 300 elders, Rain Ripple City also has about 400 powerful individuals with elder-level strength who are not serving as elders. The infiltrator team is unwilling to divert their attention to targeting these powerful individuals.

"Haha, as expected of God Emperor Luo Feng!"

"Sharp!"

"A team of elite infiltrators was wiped out in an instant."

The elders in charge of Rain Ripple City's defense system were aware of the situation throughout the city and had also discovered the conflict at the Pill Pavilion, in which an elite infiltrator team was annihilated. This thrilled and excited them!

There's no way around it; these lurking agents are just too difficult to kill.

They are all Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform the Mind type, and they are incredibly fast! They can easily hunt down Elders, but Elders find it very difficult to kill them.

"To be able to wipe out an elite team of infiltrators in one move, God Emperor Luo Feng's strength should be comparable to that of Hall Master Wei Yang and Hall Master Gai Tao."

"If God Emperor Luo Feng has sufficient strength, he should immediately assume the position of the new Palace Master."

"Yes, if he is strong enough, he should become the new temple master. With one more temple master, our defense of the city will be much easier."

"His strength is probably not enough. He set up a huge and complicated array in the Pill Pavilion. It was only by relying on the advantage of the array that he was able to wipe out an elite team of infiltrators in one fell swoop. If he were outside the Pill Pavilion, he probably wouldn't have such strength." Some elders also objected.

"Everyone, there's no need to argue," the Hall Master Yuan Xiang transmitted his voice. "Right now, I'm being hunted down by the infiltrators and can only hide temporarily. I have no way of going to the Council of Elders open it and preside over the test for the new elders or the new Lord of the Palace."

The elders understood.

Yes.

Previously, the most terrifying infiltrator team led by the Overlimit-Level Bewitching Heart Worm had even reached the Hall Master Yuan Xiang's cave abode, and the Hall Master Yuan Xiang had gone into hiding.

Without the authority of City Builder, it is impossible to open the Council of Elders and initiate the 'Elder's Trial' or 'Hall Master's Trial'. Only by passing the trials can one become an elder or hall master.

"Palace Master, you must be careful and absolutely cannot be discovered by the infiltrators. If you are discovered, the defense system of Rain Ripple City will weaken again, and defeat will be inevitable." The elders could no longer withstand the blow.

Of the Three Hall Masters, only the Hall Master Yuan Xiang remains to hold things together. Without the Hall Master Yuan Xiang, the defense system of Rain Ripple City will weaken even further.

At this moment Rain Ripple City.

The elders, while relying on the Rain Ripple City's defense system to withstand the fierce attacks from the outside world, also tried to intercept and kill the infiltrator teams.

The infiltrators also tried every means to assassinate the elders.

The two sides fought to the death.

"Surround them!"

The elders also dispatched their clones to form teams, and powerful individuals within the city who possessed elder-level strength but hadn't yet assumed the position also joined. They hadn't become elders because most of them didn't have clones; their true selves were the ones within the city, making them even less willing to lose.

These veteran teams, through the Rain Ripple City defense system, can track the movements of the infiltrator teams and intercept and capture them in advance.

The infiltrators were incredibly fast!

Both sides have their own advantages.

"They're so slippery!"

The veteran teams repeatedly tried to surround them, but the infiltrator teams were much faster and easily broke free. However, the attacks from the Rain Ripple City formation high in the sky were unavoidable for the infiltrator teams, who could only resist and withstand them.

"Um?"

An elite team of infiltrators was flying when they suddenly noticed that the surrounding trees and plants were shaking and that a terrifying poisonous fog was spreading everywhere.

As the poisonous fog spread, almost half of this elite infiltrator team died instantly, and the rest were all poisoned.

"What a terrifyingly potent poison."

"It's Star Iris Elder!"

The infiltrator team immediately guessed it.

Suddenly, a huge tree stood up, and faces appeared on its trunk. Countless trees and plants around it frantically attacked the infiltrator team.

"You infiltrators all deserve to die." The treant's face was filled with murderous intent. This treant was also a puppet of Star Iris Elder, and had no life force whatsoever. Therefore, the infiltrator team was completely unaware.

A powerful puppet, working in conjunction with a pre-arranged array, lay in wait at a key node in the city's core area! Finally, they caught a passing infiltrator team.

Under the combined attack of trees, plants, and highly poisonous substances, the entire infiltrator team was wiped out in just over ten breaths; not a single one escaped.

"Star Iris Elder, well done."

"Another elite team of infiltrators has been wiped out." The other elders were quite excited.

So far, only Luo Feng and Star Iris Elder have wiped out an entire elite infiltrator team. These infiltrators are too cunning; they avoid the top elders and specifically target and kill the weaker ones.

"Snort."

The king was also in a cave abode at this moment. Another elder had died, and all the avatars in the Nine Rivers Holy World also died.

"Star Iris Elder? The top elders are quite troublesome." The king's strength would naturally allow him to target the top elders. However, that would be too inefficient.

Call.

Wang was also hunting down some weak elders. He killed those weak elders, and the elders didn't even have time to annihilate their clones.

Luo Feng's strongest clone quickly made its way to the address given by the Hall Master Yuan Xiang. With the help of the Imitation Life-Death Eye, it also avoided the infiltrator team along the way and did not cause any unexpected trouble.

"Whoosh." Luo Feng flew into a seemingly ordinary cave abode.

"Hall Master Yuan Xiang, I have arrived."

Luo Feng carefully examined the ordinary cave abode, but found no life or anything special about it.

Suddenly, not far from Luo Feng, the figure of the Hall Master Yuan Xiang appeared out of thin air.

"Luo Feng." The Hall Master Yuan Xiang smiled and nodded slightly.
