章 17: Courting Death?!
Luo Feng sat there, drinking, not caring at all about the Blood Python Society's deputy leader.
After closing himself off for a period of time on the Origin Continent, Luo Feng had fully developed his perfect divine body to its peak, and had also begun training in numerous secret techniques, converting some of his potential into actual strength.
He was no longer the same as when he fought Black Demon, relying on the single move, "Life and Death Blade." Now, Luo Feng was itching for a fight against a stronger opponent.
"In all of Huyang City, the only ones who could be considered powerful opponents are the top figures of the Five Great Clans, the leaders of the Nineteen Dark Forces, some branch leaders of superpowers with outposts in the city, and perhaps some reclusive old monsters..." Luo Feng thought, as he reviewed the information given to him by his friend, Shang Tianyan, identifying potential strong opponents.
Only those opponents could ignite Luo Feng's battle spirit.
As for the deputy leader of the Blood Python Society, Lai Mo, who was merely a deputy in a dark force—how strong could he possibly be?
"Lord Luo He, do you really want our deputy leader to come and visit you personally?" The Blood Python Society member trembled with fear, worried that he might face the deputy leader's wrath when he reported this.
Luo Feng's gaze pierced through the hall's door, looking far into the distance: "Your deputy leader has already heard everything clearly!"
If the Lanxing Hall's array formation had isolated the sound, it would have been difficult for anyone outside to eavesdrop. But Luo Feng had left the array open, so everything he said could be heard by any Eternal True God who was paying attention.
"Y-Yes, I'll take my leave," the Blood Python Society member stammered in fear before hurriedly leaving.
Inside the hall, both the green-clad attendant and Alroya were extremely nervous.
"Lord," the green-clad attendant sent a telepathic message, "Deputy Leader Lai Mo is fierce and powerful. If you humiliate him like this, he won't let it go."
"You call this humiliation?" Luo Feng smiled as he raised his cup. "You still don't understand."
...
At the Hundred Flowers Banquet.
The Blood Python Society's leader, Mu Yang, and the deputy leader, Lai Mo, sat next to each other. They hadn't paid much attention to the events outside, but the messages from Duan Moyun had started to irritate them.
What had happened at the Dream Flower Pavilion would certainly spread throughout Huyang City. If the leader and deputy leader of the Blood Python Society, who were both present at the Dream Flower Pavilion, pretended not to notice, it would only make them appear weak.
The Blood Python Society was one of the Nineteen Dark Forces in Huyang City.
Dark forces relied on power to be domineering and ruthless. Without strength, they had no right to control their territories.
"He's an Eternal True God, after all. You should go talk to him and resolve this small matter," Mu Yang said.
"Alright, I'll handle it," Lai Mo agreed, instructing his subordinates to send the message.
As the message was delivered, the two of them observed the situation from a distance.
The Dream Flower Pavilion Master, Shang Tianyan, and several other Eternal True Gods with a keen interest were also paying attention. With the Lanxing Hall's array open, everything happening there was clear for them to see and hear.
"If he wants to see me, he should come to me! Why should I go to him?" Luo Feng's words were heard by all the Eternal True Gods who were watching.
"This is getting interesting!"
"How amusing!"
"He's not giving the Blood Python Society any face at all," these Eternal True Gods were both shocked and delighted. They might not want to engage in deadly combat themselves, but watching others fight to the death was far more entertaining than the Hundred Flowers Banquet!
"This newcomer Eternal True God is exceptionally bold! He's disregarding both the Blood Python Society's leader and deputy leader."
"The Blood Python Society has been rooted in Huyang City for a long time. If they let this slide, they'll become the laughingstock of the entire city. So, they can't let it go! They have to take action!" Several of the Eternal True Gods who were observing glanced at the two leaders of the Blood Python Society.
Both Leader Mu Yang and Deputy Leader Lai Mo looked displeased.
"Leader," Lai Mo's blood-red eyes were filled with fury, "we can't let this go! If we do, we'll be mocked by the entire city!"
"We're not like the Five Great Clans with powerful backgrounds," Mu Yang said softly. "The Blood Python Society's territory was fought for. The reputation of a dark force is also built on bloodshed. If he's not going to show respect, then let's see what he's really capable of."
"I'll go test his strength," Lai Mo said as he stood up. "A fool who can't even withstand an illusion—I want to see where he gets his confidence from."
"Never underestimate any Eternal True God," Mu Yang cautioned.
"Don't worry."
Lai Mo began walking out.
"Deputy Leader Lai Mo, everyone here was invited to my Hundred Flowers Banquet..." the Dream Flower Pavilion Master started to say.
"This isn't something for you to worry about," Lai Mo replied as he walked, his body radiating a terrifying aura. In just a few steps, he crossed the vast distance and arrived in front of Lanxing Hall.
Seeing this, the Pavilion Master could only follow. She couldn't just stand by and watch as two Eternal True Gods clashed in her pavilion.
"My newly made friend, Luo He, is more formidable than I thought. I wouldn't dare provoke the Blood Python Society, but he has no such concerns!" Shang Tianyan was both surprised and impressed.
"The Nineteen Dark Forces built their reputation through bloodshed, to the point where even the City Lord's Mansion is wary of them," Baiwu Jun, who was also a member of a dark force, understood the Blood Python Society's strength. "The Blood Python Society is not to be trifled with."
"Exciting! This is more entertaining than the Hundred Flowers Banquet!" The two Eternal True Gods from the Qu Meng Clan were truly excited.
"These dark forces are all dangerous. I want to see what happens when this Eternal True God provokes the Blood Python Society." Despite their high status, they were also cautious of the Blood Python Society.
Dark forces typically lacked significant backing, but their strength was terrifying!
...
In an instant, over a dozen Eternal True Gods were all watching Lanxing Hall from a distance, with the Dream Flower Pavilion Master closely following Lai Mo.
Inside Lanxing Hall, the green-clad attendant and Alroya stood in the corner, extremely tense.
"This is going to be big," the green-clad attendant, Yu Luo, was panicking. From her experience living in Huyang City, she knew that openly slapping the Blood Python Society in the face would undoubtedly provoke a response.
"Is this all because of me?" Alroya felt both worried and guilty. She also understood that at this point, she was no longer the main concern.
"He's here," Morosa, sitting in the corner, eagerly watched the entrance.
Luo Feng, however, remained calmly seated, sipping his drink.
Deputy Leader Lai Mo appeared at the entrance, his terrifying aura radiating from his body. His blood-red eyes fixed on Luo Feng as he grinned, "Lord Luo He, didn't you ask for me to come and visit personally? Well, here I am!"
"If you have something to say, say it quickly," Luo Feng continued to pour himself a drink, not even bothering to look at Lai Mo.
Seeing this, Lai Mo laughed in anger.
The Dream Flower Pavilion Master, who had also arrived, realized that there was no stopping this now.
"I heard you're quite arrogant, dismissing the Moli Clan, the Dream Flower Pavilion, and even my Blood Python Society. I was hoping to resolve this matter, but it seems you're even crazier than I expected!" Lai Mo shook his head. "You should know that things have reached a point where they can't be easily resolved. I'm giving you one last chance to apologize and beg for mercy! Hand over ten thousand Universe Sands as compensation, and we won't pursue this any further. Otherwise... hmph hmph..."
Lai Mo's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
The treasures Luo Feng had taken from Black Demon were worth just over ten thousand Universe Sands.
Some newly ascended Eternal True Gods might not even have that much wealth!
Ten thousand Universe Sands was a considerable sum! Forcing Luo Feng to hand over that much would certainly save face for the Blood Python Society.
"Enough with the nonsense," Luo Feng said softly as he held his cup. "Either make your move or get lost!"
Lai Mo was momentarily stunned.
All the Eternal True Gods watching from afar were shocked. This newly emerged Eternal True God, Luo He, was unbelievably bold! Such a fierce and domineering Eternal True God was rare in Huyang City.
Most Eternal True Gods were cautious and wouldn't make a move lightly.
"Alright, alright!" Lai Mo reached out with his right hand, summoning a black staff.
Instantly, Lai Mo's aura exploded, his divine power igniting. After all, Luo Feng's refusal to give face had made Lai Mo extremely wary. He immediately used his most powerful move.
Without revealing his true form, Lai Mo had already fully unleashed his power!
"Shatter!" Lai Mo swung the black staff, which seemed to cleave through the chaos, carrying an overwhelming intent to destroy everything as it reached Luo Feng in an instant.
In terms of skill and power, Lai Mo was comparable to Black Demon.
But Luo Feng was no longer the same as when he first arrived on the Origin Continent.
"Hmph."
Luo Feng gently waved his left hand, his palm slicing through the air as he executed a "Life and Death Blade."
As his palm touched the black staff that was supposed to shatter everything, the full power of Luo Feng's perfect divine body, now grown to its peak, was unleashed through his hand.
"Hmm?" Lai Mo's blood-red eyes widened in shock as he felt an unstoppable force overwhelm him. The black staff was sent flying back, striking his own body, while a blade of light cut through Lai Mo's body.
Lai Mo's body couldn't resist at all, and the blade of light passed through him.
"Stop!" The Blood Python Society's leader, Mu Yang, who had been watching from a distance, was alarmed, but it was too late to intervene. After all, exchanges at the Eternal True God level happened in an instant.
Luo Feng remained seated, holding the glowing "True God Heart" in his left hand.
In a single exchange.
Lai Mo's True God Heart had been captured by Luo Feng.
"Spare me, spare me," the True God Heart in Luo Feng's hand, now showing Lai Mo's face, begged desperately for mercy.
The black staff and some other belongings floated before Luo Feng, who casually examined them, then shook his head lightly, "Quite poor, aren't you?"
The Dream Flower Pavilion Master, who was shocked, quickly spoke up, "Lord Luo He, please show mercy. You are both honored guests of my Dream Flower Pavilion..."
"I'll give you face," Luo Feng said as he put away the spoils, still holding Lai Mo's True God Heart. "Deputy Leader Lai Mo, I'm also giving you one last chance. Hand over twenty thousand Universe Sands as compensation, and I'll spare your life."
"I'm being very merciful; your weapons and treasures will be counted as part of it, so you only need to make up the difference of twelve thousand Universe Sands."
"Pay, and you'll live. Refuse, and you can't blame me," Luo Feng said, looking at the True God Heart in his hand.
At this moment, the other Eternal True Gods attending the Hundred Flowers Banquet all felt an invisible pressure, some even sensing their own True God Hearts trembling.
They realized that a terrifying new figure had arrived in Huyang City.
