Devour It All, Leave Nothing Behind

The five Divine Power Clones gathered within the City Lord's Mansion and took their seats separately.

"To capture eight Array Masters alive at once, the Food Country forces must have sent a group of top-tier Eternal True Gods this time." Mo Li Xiao said, "According to the five surviving Array Masters, the Food Country forces are investigating every piece of information related to the Huyang City Array Map."

"The Array Masters were only responsible for repairing tiny sections. They know very little about the complete array map." The Huyang City Lord said, "With such a huge commotion, they cannot possibly be after just that bit of intelligence."

Wu Qu Lou, the scarlet-scaled figure, said calmly, "The Array Masters may know little about the complete array map, but they do know the approximate layout of Huyang City's array map."

Everyone present agreed.

Array Masters like Shang Tianyan could repair the arrays in small regions, and their attainments in arrays were extremely high. By glimpsing the whole from a single point... they would have a rough deduction of the layout of the entire Huyang City Array Map.

"They must have a scheme directed at the Huyang City Grand Array." The leader of the Mei Wu Clan said gravely as well.

"Blood Cloud has been lying low for a very long time. There has not been such a major disturbance in ages." Mo Li Xiao said. "I think we should report this to the Marquis and request reinforcements."

"Agreed."

"The Food Country forces' capture of the Array Masters is only the beginning. Once they truly bare their fangs, we may not be able to hold this city."

"Report it to the Marquis."

Everyone agreed.

Previously, regarding Mei Wu Qi's slaughter of hundreds of millions of the city's inhabitants, they had been too busy covering it up. Naturally, they had not dared ask for aid.

But in dealing with the Food Country forces, they had every right to request reinforcements.

Luo Feng knew little about the open and covert struggle between the City Lord's Mansion and the Food Country forces. For the time being, he was also residing in the Heaven Flame Sect.

This was also a public declaration—Shang Tianyan was under his protection, no question about it!

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

Luo Feng was strolling through the Heaven Flame Sect, watching its disciples refine secret treasures and weapons.

"Venerable One." Mo Yu Liu Xing, the third son of the Mo Yu Family, was instructing juniors when he spotted Luo Feng. He hurriedly bowed.

He was also quite gifted in refining. With ample resources as well, he had already stepped into the Void True God realm. Of the three Mo Yu brothers, the eldest and third were both Void True Gods. Only Mo Yu Qing Yan, who followed Luo Feng, remained merely a True God.

"Mo Yu Liu Xing." Luo Feng smiled at him. "I heard you married?"

"Yes. It was an elder martial sister I met after joining the Heaven Flame Sect." At the mention of his wife, Mo Yu Liu Xing revealed a trace of a blissful smile.

"It seems the Heaven Flame Sect suits you well." Luo Feng smiled.

There were countless living beings on the Origin Continent. Most would never marry in their lifetimes; after all, their lives were infinitely long, and there was no need to reproduce. To meet a true love and willingly marry was a rare thing on the Origin Continent.

Some exceedingly powerful beings, however, possessed extraordinary bloodlines. Merely to pass down those bloodlines, they would also produce some descendants.

"The Heaven Flame Sect truly suits me, and Master has been earnest in guiding us." Mo Yu Liu Xing said.

Suddenly—

Shang Tianyan hurried over from afar. In just two steps, he shot over to Luo Feng's side.

"Brother Luo He." Shang Tianyan sounded somewhat anxious.

Luo Feng waved to Mo Yu Liu Xing, who immediately bowed and withdrew.

"What is it?" Luo Feng asked.

"Three of the eight Array Masters captured earlier have been killed." Shang Tianyan said. "After their deaths, their families may encounter some trouble, so I have been keeping an eye on their circumstances."

Shang Tianyan loved making friends, and those three belonged to the same circle as him. Naturally, they were all his friends.

"Of the three families, two were silently swallowed up by the Cloud Treasure Pavilion. The Cloud Treasure Pavilion has branches in many major cities of Yu Country and mainly sells low- to mid-grade secret treasures and weapons." Shang Tianyan said. "The Heaven Flame Sect I founded, and the shops run by other Refining Experts, are all just small-scale ventures. A force like the Cloud Treasure Pavilion is a major commercial power."

Luo Feng listened.

How many weapons and secret treasures for Eternal True Gods could be sold in One Epoch?

Selling to True Gods and Void True Gods was where the real profits lay. Their numbers were incomparably vast, enough to accumulate terrifying wealth.

Just like the God Kings and Chaos Masters, who collected Residence Fees from massive numbers of True God citizens to obtain the greatest resources.

"Logically, the Cloud Treasure Pavilion would not even deign to plunder local families, yet this time it did exactly that." Shang Tianyan said angrily. "It must be that some Eternal True Gods in the Huyang City branch of the Cloud Treasure Pavilion grew greedy and swallowed those two families."

"Before the Cloud Treasure Pavilion, those two families had no ability to resist at all. Silently, the resources, materials, and shops the two families had accumulated over countless years were all seized." Shang Tianyan was furious. "That would be one thing. The Cloud Treasure Pavilion is too powerful, and it did not launch a wholesale slaughter. Though those two families were utterly ruined, at least they preserved their lives. Not many clansmen died in the struggle over their properties."

"But the Qi Feng Family had it far worse. They were targeted by the dark force known as the Six Gentlemen Alliance. More than half of the Qi Feng Family's core ten thousand-plus clansmen died, and the vast majority of their resources were forcibly looted clean. The Eternal True God's two children were even taken to the Six Gentlemen Alliance headquarters by Thousand Eyes Lord of the Six Gentlemen Alliance." Shang Tianyan said. "They are probably forcing those two children to hand over all the resources they inherited."

"Brother Luo He, Qi Feng God Monarch was my friend. More than half his clansmen have died, and I want to protect his two children." Shang Tianyan looked at Luo Feng. "The Six Gentlemen Alliance will not give me face, so I ask Brother Luo He to step forward and help."

Luo Feng frowned upon hearing this. "The City Lord's Mansion is just watching with eyes wide open? Those three Array Masters suffered this calamity precisely because they repaired arrays for the City Lord's Mansion!"

"The vast majority of Eternal True Gods in Huyang City have worked for the City Lord's Mansion at some point. Since when has the City Lord's Mansion cared about the lives and deaths of those Eternal True Gods?" Shang Tianyan shook his head. "Unless they completely submit and become vassals! Otherwise, the City Lord's Mansion will not interfere."

"Leave this to me." Luo Feng nodded and shot into the distance, glancing at Moluo Sa, who was happily eating and drinking.

With a single look, Moluo Sa understood.

"Master." Moluo Sa immediately flew over.

"We are heading out." Luo Feng piloted the flying vessel, taking Moluo Sa directly toward the Six Gentlemen Alliance headquarters.

There were eighteen dark forces throughout Huyang City, and the Six Gentlemen Alliance was one of them. Its headquarters remained gloomy all year round, shrouded in a faint mist. A great many internal members moved about within, busy with their respective tasks.

Inside one of the halls at the headquarters.

The Qi Feng siblings sat there, staring fearfully at the red-robed woman before them.

"Your father is dead. Carrying treasures on you is not a good thing—it is a bad thing instead." The red-robed woman sat there and smiled softly. "Earlier, I told those clansmen of yours to obediently transfer the family's resources, yet they were unwilling? The result of their unwillingness... was that more than half of your clansmen died."

"Now it is your turn." The red-robed woman looked at the siblings. "Qi Feng God Monarch had only the two of you as children. He must have arranged a way out for you, and he likely left resources for you at the Yan Feng Pavilion as well."

"Do as I say. Contact the Yan Feng Pavilion immediately and transfer all your resources to me. Then you may live. Otherwise, you will die too. Once you are dead, everything will become empty." The red-robed woman looked at these two fat sheep.

As one of the leaders of a dark force, she was always seeking out fat sheep to hunt.

After Qi Feng God Monarch's death, his two children were naturally prime fat sheep.

After Diao Rongyan died, his daughter Diao Rongqi could also be considered a fat sheep. It was only because Diao Rongqi had always lived in the Mo Li Clan's cave dwelling that she had not encountered trouble.

Fortunately, I moved fast enough. Had I been any slower, other dark forces would have snatched them away. Thousand Eyes Lord thought.

Just then, Luo Feng had already brought Moluo Sa in a flying vessel to the Six Gentlemen Alliance headquarters.

Whoosh.

After putting away the flying vessel, Luo Feng and Moluo Sa appeared before the main gates of the Six Gentlemen Alliance headquarters.

"Master? Should we kill our way in?" Moluo Sa was eager to make a move.

But Luo Feng had already taken a step forward.

Rumble~~~

Entering the Six Gentlemen Alliance headquarters without permission naturally provoked a counterattack from its headquarters array. The gloomy grand array erupted with rumbling power, crushing down upon Luo Feng in an attempt to tear him apart.

"What is going on?" The many members of the Six Gentlemen Alliance headquarters, including the Eternal True Gods currently within, were all somewhat shocked.

Luo Feng led Moluo Sa into the headquarters. The invisible force naturally formed around his body was enough to grind the array's might to pieces.

The moment he entered the headquarters, Luo Feng instantly locked onto Thousand Eyes Lord and also discovered the Qi Feng siblings beside the red-robed woman, Thousand Eyes Lord! Shang Tianyan had naturally provided Luo Feng with information on the siblings long ago.

"Luo He God Monarch!" White Mist Lord of the Six Gentlemen Alliance shouted from afar.

Rumble!

Luo Feng took one step, bringing Moluo Sa with him as he crashed through layer after layer of obstruction, smashing through building walls and arriving directly inside that hall, appearing before Thousand Eyes Lord.

Thousand Eyes Lord stared at Luo Feng in astonishment, then at the shattered rubble of the surrounding buildings. She hurriedly bowed with a flattering smile. "Thousand Eyes greets Luo He God Monarch."

"Luo He God Monarch." The other two Eternal True Gods at the headquarters, White Mist Lord and Prison Wind Lord, hurriedly flew over. They were both exceedingly polite and humble, not daring to offend him in the slightest.

Luo Feng looked at the red-robed woman, Thousand Eyes Lord. "You were the one who made a move against the Qi Feng Family?"

The red-robed woman instantly guessed something and hurriedly said, "I was protecting Qi Feng God Monarch's two children. I did not kill those clansmen of the Qi Feng Family."

"She killed them!" In the corner of the hall, the elder brother among the siblings shouted those words through his fear.

The red-robed woman looked at the siblings with some anger and alarm.

"Luo He God Monarch, I—" The red-robed woman had just begun to explain when she saw that Luo He God Monarch before her had already extended his hand!

Ignoring everything else, she instantly unleashed her true form in an attempt to survive. An enormous creature twisted into existence, its surface covered in eerie eyes. She had indeed possessed over a thousand eyes, capable of harming an enemy's soul.

Puff~~~

Luo Feng's seemingly ordinary outstretched hand passed through that enormous creature and crushed the True God Heart.

Only the twisted, manifested True God corpse fell away. With a wave of his hand, Luo Feng collected the corpse.

White Mist Lord and Prison Wind Lord were both dumbfounded by what they saw. Thousand Eyes Lord might not have been as powerful as the Blood Python President, but she was still an extraordinarily formidable Eternal True God. Yet before Luo He God Monarch, she had possessed no ability to resist.

"Did the deaths of the Qi Feng Family's many clansmen have anything to do with you two?" Luo Feng looked at them.

White Mist Lord and Prison Wind Lord hurriedly shook their heads.

They knew that if they gave one wrong answer, they too would die!
