Luo Feng was not surprised; he had long known that the Origin Continent was a harsh world. Those tribes living in the wild could vanish without a trace one day. When Chaos Dominators or ancient God Kings take action, they can obliterate everything.
No matter the level of the cultivator, there are those who are kind, those who are indifferent and solitary, and those who slaughter all beings for their own gain. This is the natural order of survival of the fittest in the world.
"Those who slaughter others for their own gain are nothing but scum! Eliminating such scum is also a part of the natural order," Luo Feng thought. "But my power is limited."
Even ancient God Kings cannot change the order of the Origin Continent.
At this moment, Morosa and Mo Yu Qingyan were waiting for Luo Feng to decide.
"Qingyan," Luo Feng looked at Mo Yu Qingyan, "Where are the rest of your family?"
"My father is in the City Lord's Mansion, but the mansion is now sealed off, so he can't return," Mo Yu Qingyan explained. "My elder brother and his family are at home; my sister-in-law is pregnant and resting there."
"The situation is dire now. I'm preparing to leave the city," Luo Feng said. "Would your family be willing to leave the city with me?"
"Of course," Mo Yu Qingyan nodded. "I've already communicated with my father, and he said we should follow the master's lead."
"Alright." Luo Feng then turned to Morosa, "Rosa, go to Dream Flower Pavilion and save the pavilion master, Aroya, and her companions."
Morosa's eyes lit up, and he immediately sent a mental transmission: "Master, if I act within the city, I will be detected by the Heart Shadow Sect and the City Lord's Mansion. How much of my strength should I reveal?"
"Use power on par with Elder Heart Eye, but you can make your techniques more formidable. Just control the power level," Luo Feng transmitted back. The outside world already speculated that he was an elite trained by a powerful force.
Especially after he declined the invitation from the King of the Shi Kingdom, more people speculated that Luo Feng had a strong lineage and believed Morosa to be his protector.
Let's make those speculations a reality!
"Understood." Morosa had long been eager to act; now that his master had given permission, he could finally show some of his fangs.
"Let's begin," Luo Feng said, collecting Mo Yu Qingyan with a wave of his hand.
Both Luo Feng and Morosa disappeared instantly.
Inside the City Lord's Mansion.
Mo Yu Hu sat alone in a room.
"Third Brother," Mo Yu Hu's heart was filled with grief when he received the news. After his wife's death, the three children were the most important thing to him. He valued them more than his own life.
The treasures he had gained from his friendship with Luo Feng were all used to give his children opportunities.
Now, the third one was gone.
"I've always known that the world is like this," Mo Yu Hu felt intense hatred but also a deep sense of powerlessness. "But I can't avenge this."
"This is the Heart Shadow Sect! Even Jiu Jiang Hou's forces can't match them," Mo Yu Hu was in agony. Even Jiu Jiang Hou, who stands high above, is trying to gather strength, so what can a mere Void True God like me do?
"My greatest fortune was meeting Luo He Shenjun," Mo Yu Hu thought. "I hope Luo He Shenjun is successful in taking Lie Feng, Qingyan, and the others out of Hu Yang City."
Mo Yu family estate.
"Heart Shadow Sect!" Mo Yu Lie Feng stood by the lake, tears in his eyes, his face twisted in anger. "You killed my brother. I, Mo Yu Lie Feng, swear that I will avenge him at any cost! Even if it takes thousands or tens of thousands of eras, I will never give up!"
Among the three brothers, the eldest, Mo Yu Lie Feng, was the most talented, the most fierce, and the one with the greatest desire to kill.
The youngest, on the other hand, was the most introverted, just wanting to cultivate quietly. But who could have expected him to be the first to go?
In this world, you can't simply decide to cultivate quietly and expect to be left in peace.
Suddenly—
A figure in a black robe stepped out from the ripples of space and appeared above the estate.
Mo Yu Lie Feng looked up and immediately bowed respectfully. "Shenjun! We are all ready!"
Luo Feng nodded and with a wave of his hand, collected all the living beings and structures in the Mo Yu family estate.
"Next, the nine smithing shops. Brother Sheng, this is the most I can do for you," Luo Feng thought.
With a single step, Luo Feng traversed space and disappeared.
Although the dark formation of the Heart Shadow Sect imposed greater spatial restrictions, Luo Feng had reached a profound level of understanding of space, especially with the 'Myriad Worlds Escape Token' in his possession. It allowed him to connect more deeply with space, and by observing it, Luo Feng had gained even more insights.
When the Tianyan Sect disbanded, its disciples went their separate ways.
Some joined other forces, while others established smithing shops, with the largest being the nine smithing shops. Mo Yu Liuxing and his wife, Mo Youshang, established the 'Mo Yu Smithing Shop,' which had a significant presence and covered a vast area of millions of kilometers.
The Mo Yu family also had a strong foundation in Hu Yang City. Their father served the deputy city lord, Mo Li Meng, the eldest of the Mo Yu family was a direct disciple of Zhu You, an Eternal True God from the Zhu clan, and the second brother served as Luo He Shenjun's servant. Luo He Shenjun had two servants by his side.
As a result, many Tianyan Sect disciples followed 'Mo Yu Liuxing and Mo Youshang.'
"Take all the treasures."
At the Mo Yu Smithing Shop, whether it was the weapons and treasures displayed for sale or the inventory of various materials, everything was being taken by Heart Shadow Sect disciples.
Moreover, many of the smiths in the shop were being searched, with all their treasures taken away, not even a single chaos stone left behind.
"Whoosh."
In a flash, a figure appeared at the smithing shop—Luo Feng, who had traversed space.
"Who dares to intrude in the forbidden area of the Heart Shadow Sect?" The Heart Shadow Sect disciples who were guarding the area were shocked, and the three colossal mechanical treasures hovering in the sky turned to look.
But Luo Feng ignored them and instead looked at the many smiths, apprentices, and customers in the smithing shop. They all stood still, not daring to move.
"Luo He Shenjun," many of these smiths and apprentices were former Tianyan Sect disciples and naturally recognized Luo Feng.
"How did Mo Yu Liuxing die?" Luo Feng asked.
"Who are you?" an angry voice came from outside.
"Shut up, that's Luo He Shenjun!" The Heart Shadow Sect disciples who had been causing a commotion quickly quieted down.
Luo Feng paid no attention to the outside and instead focused on the smiths.
One burly smith immediately spoke up, "Shenjun, today, the Heart Shadow Sect disciples suddenly arrived, and without a word, with just a wave of their hand, many smiths, apprentices, and customers were killed. The whole shop was terrified. Afterward, the Heart Shadow Sect declared that all the shop's treasures and materials belonged to them, and that all Void True Gods had to surrender their treasures and undergo a body search."
"Mo Yu Shidi, as the owner of the shop, just said that we were willing to surrender our treasures but asked if we could avoid the body search…" the burly smith said with grief and anger. "But just as he began to speak, the leader of the Heart Shadow Sect pointed a finger, and Mo Yu Shidi, along with the nearby smiths, apprentices, and customers, were all wiped out."
"You dare to speak like that!"
At this moment, three figures entered from outside, led by a figure in a purple robe. The purple robe seemed to be made of a black liquid that formed his divine body, and his eyes were incredibly cold. He looked at Luo Feng and saluted, "Heart Shadow Sect disciple 'Chan Wu Qi' greets Luo He Shenjun."
"You're the one who casually pointed your finger twice and slaughtered many in the smithing shop?" Luo Feng asked.
"Yes, it was me," Chan Wu Qi replied. "Our Heart Shadow Sect is merciful. This time, we are only collecting war funds from Eternal True Gods and Void True Gods. To make the collection smoother, we naturally had to instill some fear."
"He's the one who killed Mo Yu Shidi," the burly smith said, his eyes filled with rage.
"It was indeed me," Chan Wu Qi nodded. "I was doing my job, and he dared to speak out of turn. He was asking for death!"
Chan Wu Qi felt this was perfectly reasonable.
Slaughtering some Void True Gods and True Gods was just a matter of breathing, not a big deal.
"So that's the reason," Luo Feng understood.
Luo Feng also raised his hand and lightly pointed a finger.
Buzz!
An invisible blade of light descended, instantly obliterating Chan Wu Qi's divine body. Chan Wu Qi died with his eyes wide open, unable to believe what had just happened: "This Luo He Shenjun actually dared to openly kill a Heart Shadow Sect Eternal True God. He is determined to be our enemy!"
This scene left the other Heart Shadow Sect disciples in shock. They had grown used to wielding power over life and death, but now they were witnessing Luo Feng casually taking the life of their comrade.
"Shenjun, he is from the Heart Shadow Sect!" The burly smith was trembling, not in fear but in disbelief. "You killed a member of the Heart Shadow Sect, Shenjun, you…"
"Who is this?" a voice came from the sky as one of the colossal mechanical treasures above descended, and a large shadow cast over the Mo Yu Smithing Shop.
At that moment, Luo Feng raised his hand and waved it, instantly transporting all the people in the Mo Yu Smithing Shop into his estate.
Even the buildings were taken.
The entire area where the shop had once stood became a barren wasteland.
"Where is he?" a voice came from above.
"He disappeared?" one of the Eternal True Gods of the Heart Shadow Sect was shocked. "It was as if he had never been here."
No one knew that the master of the Mo Yu Smithing Shop, Mo Yu Liuxing, had already been taken by Luo Feng.
