Capítulo 36: Disgusting Acts
At the Dream Flower Pavilion, besides Luo Feng and Zhu You, two other distinguished guests were present that evening.
"Hmm?" Two figures glanced through the palace door, noticing Luo Feng and Zhu You flying past from a distance.
"That's Zhu You and Luo He, isn't it?" The blue-haired man remarked in surprise. "I've been hearing Luo He's name frequently these days. He single-handedly wiped out a dark force and killed the Blood Python President. That's quite impressive!"
"It's just one dark force," scoffed the young man in a purple robe. "The nineteen dark forces may seem formidable, but don't they still have to bow before our five great families? Most of the Universe Sand they earn ends up being tribute to us."
"Brother Mei Wu, our families may be powerful, but in terms of individual strength, Luo He is far superior to us," the blue-haired man pointed out.
"Don't glorify these wandering individuals," Mei Wuqi dismissed casually. "Even if they possess great strength due to their talent or a stroke of luck, every step they take forward is fraught with difficulty. They have to fight for top-notch legacies, precious resources, and guidance from mentors—things we, the children of great families, are born with!"
The blue-haired man chuckled self-deprecatingly and raised his glass. "We were born with abundant resources, yet we've barely managed to become Eternal True Gods. In terms of talent, we're far inferior to Luo He and Zhu Gu. They still have hope of becoming Chaos Masters, while we can't even see a glimmer of that hope."
"The limit of the bloodline path is the Chaos Master level. To reach that, every aspect must be incredibly strong. We don't see any hope," Mei Wuqi laughed. "But Luo He and Zhu Gu, even if they risk everything, will still end up empty-handed!"
"Yes, it's indeed difficult for Eternal True Gods to become Chaos Masters," the blue-haired man agreed.
The number of Chaos Masters across the entire Origin Continent was not large. Kingdoms like Yan Feng and Thunder had more expertise in nurturing powerful individuals, making it more likely for them to produce Chaos Masters.
In the general populace, the emergence of a Chaos Master was exceedingly rare.
"On the Origin Continent, we, the children of royal families and great chaotic clans, are born into a high status. Even if we clash with the forces of the Shi Kingdom, it's always the so-called powerful Eternal True Gods like Luo He and Zhu Gu who charge at the front. If we win, we continue ruling Huyang City. If we lose, we can simply leave," Mei Wuqi laughed heartily.
"Our great chaotic clans exist because we have Chaos Masters supporting them," the blue-haired man remarked. "While individuals like Luo He and Zhu Gu, those powerful Eternal True Gods, fight to the death, new Chaos Masters will eventually emerge. But for us, there's no hope."
"We may have no hope, but they won't have their lives," Mei Wuqi laughed. "I've seen plenty of powerful Eternal True Gods fall."
...
Luo Feng and Zhu You took their seats, while the servants they brought sat in the corners.
As he listened to Arroya's illusionary music, Luo Feng naturally used the "Seven Emotions Refinement Technique" from the "Lie Yuan Technique," fully immersing himself in it. Although he usually maintained the "Great Destruction Refinement Technique" to temper his will, occasionally practicing the "Seven Emotions Refinement Technique" had its own unique flavor.
"This Luo He truly enjoys Arroya's illusionary music. No wonder he had a falling out with the Blood Python Society over this little musician," Zhu You observed. Being an Eternal True God, he wasn't much affected by the illusionary music, but seeing Luo Feng completely immersed with his eyes closed, he refrained from speaking.
When the performance ended, Luo Feng opened his eyes. "Excellent, excellent." Having walked the path of cultivation for so long, Luo Feng naturally had many regrets in his heart, but in the illusions, he could compensate for them, making the emotional impact incredibly strong.
"The Supreme Overlord is too kind," Arroya said, deeply grateful to Luo Feng. She had given her all in the performance.
Luo Feng's favor had significantly increased her value at Dream Flower Pavilion. Her performance fees had risen tenfold, and no one dared to harass her anymore. Even her family, the "Qianye Vine Clan," had a much easier life in Huyang City. Clearly, no force wanted to become the next Blood Python Society.
"You're making great progress. Keep it up," Luo Feng said with a smile. Arroya's illusionary music had indeed reached a suitable level with the help of the "Seven Emotions Refinement Technique."
"Yes, Arroya will take her leave now," the young musician said respectfully before withdrawing.
Watching this, Zhu You chuckled, "Luo He, you're indeed kind, even caring for a small musician like this."
"Hahaha..." Luo Feng laughed. "I was so immersed in the illusionary music just now that I neglected you, Zhu You."
"I was enjoying the music too," Zhu You said. "Luo He, how well do you know Huyang City?"
"I only have some basic understanding," Luo Feng replied.
Back then, Shang Tianyan had provided him with information on the various forces in Huyang City, including profiles of numerous Eternal True Gods. However, that was just basic information. Detailed intelligence on a single Eternal True God could be extremely expensive.
"Luo He, you've only been in Huyang City for just over a century. That's still a short time," Zhu You said. "As you spend more time here, you'll naturally learn many secrets."
"I haven't been in Huyang City for long, and I've only had a conflict with the Blood Python Society. I haven't clashed with any other strong individuals," Luo Feng said.
"Indeed, you only had a conflict with the Blood Python Society, but it led to their complete destruction," Zhu You laughed. "Now, the five great families and the forces of the Shi Kingdom all have their eyes on you."
"Oh?" Luo Feng listened intently.
"The City Lord's Mansion and the forces of the Shi Kingdom are locked in a fierce battle, but both sides often use other strong individuals to do the fighting. They frequently lure outsiders with benefits to assist them. Luo He, with your strength, both sides will definitely try to win you over."
"My suggestion is to take on easy tasks to reap the rewards, but stay out of big troubles. Protecting yourself is more important," Zhu You advised.
"That makes sense," Luo Feng nodded.
"In Huyang City, besides the City Lord's Mansion, the five great families, and the forces of the Shi Kingdom, there's also a third force—our local families," Zhu You said with a soft laugh. "In terms of the number of Eternal True Gods and the strongest individuals, our local families and forces are the most powerful."
Luo Feng nodded slightly. Although the local forces seemed scattered, they were indeed vast, with many hidden talents.
"Luo He, you're not a member of the five great families. Even if you ally with them, you'll be nothing more than a tool for them. The forces of the Shi Kingdom care even less about the lives of their pawns," Zhu You looked at Luo Feng. "You naturally belong with us."
"That makes sense," Luo Feng nodded.
Zhu You laughed heartily, "We're on the same side! To be honest, no matter who controls Huyang City, it doesn't make much difference to us local families and forces."
"For the God Kings and Chaos Masters, it might mean fewer tributes, which they care about. But for us, it's all the same—we still have to pay a hefty amount."
"So, no matter how fiercely the City Lord's Mansion and the forces of the Shi Kingdom fight, we must cherish our own lives," Zhu You shook his head. "They've never cared about our lives."
"You're right," Luo Feng agreed.
"As long as we're united, we're the strongest force! The City Lord's Mansion and the forces of the Shi Kingdom can only tempt us with benefits; they wouldn't dare force us," Zhu You said confidently.
Suddenly, a powerful fluctuation could be felt from outside.
"What's going on?" Luo Feng and Zhu You's gazes passed through the palace door and saw a "Three-Sword Sky-Splitting Beast" in the distant sky. A figure emerged from its surface—it was the Huyang Guard commander, Gao Wushui.
...
Mei Wuqi and Jiang Chengyou, puzzled, approached the palace door and saw the mechanical treasure "Three-Sword Sky-Splitting Beast" descending outside the hall. They both felt the visitor was not here with good intentions.
"The Dream Flower Pavilion is a place for pleasure. Why has Commander Gao come here with the Three-Sword Sky-Splitting Beast?" Mei Wuqi looked at Gao Wushui. "Commander Gao, what brings you here?"
"Commander Gao, come in for a drink. The other Huyang Guards can rest here as well. It's on me," the blue-haired Jiang Chengyou said with a smile.
Gao Wushui coldly stated, "Mei Wuqi, the Huyang Guard has received evidence that you have captured and tortured many citizens of Huyang City! You must now come with me to the Huyang Guard headquarters."
The blue-haired man was shocked.
Mei Wuqi's expression darkened, and his aura seemed to dim the night. In a hoarse voice, he said, "Commander Gao, I am Mei Wuqi of the Mei Wu family. Are you sure you want to arrest me?"
"Is there some misunderstanding?" Jiang Chengyou also spoke up.
"The Huyang Guard has a duty, and I must arrest you!" Gao Wushui looked at Mei Wuqi. "Mei Wuqi, come with me!"
"You who rely on my five great families dare to turn against us?" Mei Wuqi sneered. "Gao Wushui, I'll report this matter to the City Lord's Mansion right now. Let's see how they handle it."
"How the City Lord's Mansion deals with me is a matter for the future. For now, you must come with me," Gao Wushui said coldly. "I'll count to three. If you resist, I will have no choice but to take you by force."
"Three, two..." Gao Wushui was unwavering.
"Boom!"
A dark purple, serpentine beast suddenly appeared in the sky above the Dream Flower Pavilion, causing many of its guests to exclaim in surprise.
Luo Feng and Zhu You watched from afar.
"Commander Gao is truly remarkable, going so far as to arrest an Eternal True God from one of the five great families," the serpentine beast descended slowly, and a figure in armor appeared atop it.
"Even royal family members and the children of great chaotic clans must follow the laws of Yu Nation," Gao Wushui said coldly. "Mei Wuqi has committed countless sins, wreaking havoc in Huyang City for countless years, tormenting citizens beyond measure. Outside the city, he was even more lawless. When Fangjiu City was breached by a horde of beasts, he captured billions of citizens and brought them to his 'City of Sin,' where he tortured and killed them by the billions! How could such sins be forgiven?"
"You are slandering me! As a child of one of the five great families, how could I act so wantonly?" Mei Wuqi shouted angrily.
The armored figure chuckled. "Slander against the children of the five great families is not uncommon. Commander Gao is still new to his position and lacks experience."
"If it's slander, he can come with me to the Huyang Guard headquarters. We'll verify the truth, and judgment will be made accordingly," Gao Wushui said.
The armored figure walked to Mei Wuqi's side, with the serpentine beast looming behind him. "Commander Gao, you only need to submit the evidence to the City Lord's Mansion. They will verify the truth and decide on the punishment. There's no need for you to intervene."
Gao Wushui had anticipated resistance but hadn't expected that he wouldn't even be able to take the first step of arresting Mei Wuqi.
"Commander Gao, you needn't involve yourself in Mei Wuqi's case any further. Return to the Huyang Guard headquarters and submit all the evidence you've gathered," came an order from the City Lord's Mansion.
Gao Wushui's heart sank, and he sighed inwardly.
"Even if I managed to take him to the headquarters, it's unlikely that anything would happen to him," Gao Wushui thought to himself.
Before a verdict from the City Lord's Mansion, he dared not kill an Eternal True God from one of the five great families. If he did, not even his master, Mo Li Xiao, could protect him.
Though his youthful experiences had made him despise evil, Gao Wushui was not willing to risk his life over Mei Wuqi.
"I will submit the evidence and trust that the City Lord's Mansion will deliver a just punishment!" Gao Wushui glanced at Mei Wuqi, then turned and flew back to the Three-Sword Sky-Splitting Beast.
Whoosh!
The Three-Sword Sky-Splitting Beast immediately vanished into the void.
"Hahaha..." Mei Wuqi finally relaxed and burst into laughter. "That Gao Wushui is a fool. Did he really think he could arrest me?"
...
Watching from afar, Luo Feng was somewhat surprised.
"Zhu You, is what Commander Gao just said true? When Fangjiu City was breached by a horde of beasts, did Mei Wuqi capture billions of citizens?" Luo Feng asked. "And did he kill billions of them?"
The numbers truly shocked Luo Feng.
After all, Yu Nation's laws, at least on the surface, were very strict.
"It is true. If you stay in Huyang City long enough, you'll hear about it. Mei Wuqi is infamous for being a madman," Zhu You said. "His treasure, the 'City of Sin,' has imprisoned countless innocent citizens, and the number he has tortured to death over the years is indeed incalculable."
"Do the five great families just let him do as he pleases?" Luo Feng frowned.
"The five great families can control many dark forces and will take harsh measures if anyone crosses the line. But they can't bring themselves to take action against their own," Zhu You shook his head. "There is plenty of evidence of Mei Wuqi's madness! If you don't believe me, you can buy the intelligence from Yan Feng Pavilion."
Luo Feng looked into the distance, where Mei Wuqi was chatting with another Huyang Guard commander.
"I want to buy all the evidence against Mei Wuqi," Luo Feng contacted Yan Feng Pavilion's dark hall through his transmission token.
"All the evidence against Mei Wuqi will cost 1 Universe Sand," the dark hall responded.
"Buy it."
After purchasing the evidence, Yan Feng Pavilion's dark hall sent over detailed documentation.
As Luo Feng reviewed the evidence, his expression grew cold. Mei Wuqi was even more deranged than he had imagined, a man whose mind had been completely twisted. He tortured those innocent citizens to create powerful, twisted souls out of their suffering.
"He used pain to create powerful, twisted souls. The dark hall of Yan Feng Pavilion records that he has made sixteen 'masterpieces.' Sixteen True Gods whose twisted souls rival those of Eternal True Gods," Luo Feng murmured.
"He once even showed off his 'work' to me," Zhu You sighed.
"Yan Feng Pavilion also has a bounty on him," Luo Feng found Mei Wuqi's bounty.
The reward was only 20,000 Universe Sand.
It was likely posted by someone who was truly fed up with him.
"I'll take the job." With a thought, Luo Feng accepted the mission to assassinate Mei Wuqi.
"Don't bother with this. The Origin Continent is full of darkness, and there are many things we can't do anything about," Zhu You said. "It's already difficult enough for our families to survive."
Luo Feng stood up. "You may have family ties, Zhu You, but I am unburdened. If I turn a blind eye to this, my heart will be troubled!"
"Such filth should be wiped clean!"
With a step, Luo Feng left the hall, heading straight for Mei Wuqi.
