Chương 53: Arrival
Marshal Mo Li Xiao instructed, "The fact that Luo He Shenjun is stationed here must be kept secret by the three of you."
"Understood," the Golden Armor General and the two Huyang Guard commanders replied respectfully. They had been placed in this position because they were highly trusted.
"Luo He, I have already arranged a residence for you in this military camp," Marshal Mo Li Xiao said, leading Luo Feng out of the building to a nearby elegant cave dwelling.
After all, a Huyang legion consisted of over 20 million True Gods, so the military camp was naturally vast.
The ordinary soldiers only knew that this was a military camp, unaware of its true importance.
"Not bad," Luo Feng said, looking at the cave dwelling before him. In a military camp spanning billions of kilometers, having such a cave dwelling was already a rare luxury. The soldiers' living conditions were much harsher, as they had to stay inside military mechanical treasures while on duty.
"If you need anything, just let us know," Mo Li Xiao said. "But remember, do not leave the camp. The Shiguo forces could attack at any moment."
"Rest assured, I will keep my promise," Luo Feng nodded.
"Then we shall take our leave," Mo Li Xiao said with a smile, and he and Mo Li Meng departed together.
Luo Feng looked at the cave dwelling, which was only about ten thousand kilometers in length and width. Though it wasn't large, it was quite refined. "From now on, the three of us will live here."
"Yes, Master," Morosa and Mo Yu Qingyan both responded.
Five days later, Mo Li Meng delivered the Black Ze Poison to Luo Feng.
"Luo He Shenjun, this Black Ze Poison is a deadly toxin produced by a Chaos-level beast. If you plan to consume it, be very cautious. Start with just one drop," Mo Li Meng warned as he handed a flask of Black Ze Poison to Luo Feng. "Consuming too much at once could be fatal."
The City Lord's Mansion was currently employing Luo He Shenjun, and if he were to poison himself to death with the Black Ze Poison, it would be a laughing matter.
"Don't worry," Luo Feng said, having received guidance from two lineages and understanding the proper use of Black Ze Poison. Based on his estimation, his perfect divine body, with its strong soul and mental will far surpassing that of a typical Eternal True God, might find that even a small dose of the Black Ze Poison would have little effect.
After that, Luo Feng remained secluded within the Golden Armor Legion camp.
The Golden Armor Legion and the two Huyang Guard units continued their regular rotations, with ordinary members oblivious to the site's true importance. Only the generals, vice generals, and commanders at their level were privy to the secrets.
"Whew."
Gao Wu Shui piloted his flying boat back to his family's cave dwelling. While he rested, the vice commander took over the watch.
"Clan Leader."
"Clan Leader."
The members of the Gao Wu family greeted Gao Wu Shui with extreme respect when they saw him. As the family's only Eternal True God, who had ruthlessly eliminated nearly all the previous leadership, Gao Wu Shui wielded significant influence within the family.
Who in the family didn't fear him?
With a cold expression, Gao Wu Shui made his way to an underground prison within the family estate, where the guards treated him with the utmost respect.
"Leave us," Gao Wu Shui ordered.
The guards quickly left.
"Gao Wu Commander, you would lower yourself to visit me?" laughed a man chained in the prison. "You killed the clan leader and many elders. Why didn't you kill me too? Do you still have some sense of filial piety?"
"You still haven't figured it out after all this time in confinement? I'm truly disappointed," Gao Wu Shui said coldly.
"Disappointed? You want me to kneel and beg for forgiveness?" the man snarled. "It was the family that created you, and now you've betrayed it, you traitor!"
"You have 109 children," Gao Wu Shui said calmly. "And I am just a product of your passion with a maid. I was born and left to fend for myself. Later, I left the family and joined the Huyang Legion. My master saw potential in me and took me as a disciple! Only then did you, my so-called father, bother to meet me."
"That was the first time we met," Gao Wu Shui sneered. "That's when you learned about the injustices I faced within the family, and how my mother, the maid, died silently within the family. After I became a disciple of Marshal Mo Li Xiao, you finally realized your mistakes and began to feel remorse. Where were you when I was suffering as a child? Where were you when my mother died? You dare speak of fatherly affection?"
"I'm still your father!" the man retorted, his face twisted in anger. "Without me, there would be no you!"
"I grew up under my master's care and nurturing. What you provided was merely a fleeting moment of passion," Gao Wu Shui replied. "Once I became an Eternal True God, the family tried to curry favor with me."
"And hasn't the family treated you well since you became an Eternal True God?" the man shouted. "Even the clan leader treated you with respect! But what did you do?"
"Respect?" Gao Wu Shui shook his head. "At first, they pretended, but at the banquet, the clan leader had the audacity to ask me to become an informant for Shiguo! I never expected the clan leader, an ordinary Eternal True God, to have connections with Shiguo."
"That's slander!" the man protested.
"At this point, I have no need to slander anyone," Gao Wu Shui said. "They wanted me to be an informant, not caring if I lived or died. And I would never betray my master, even if it meant death."
"Since they didn't care about my life, they all had to die for collaborating with Shiguo!" Gao Wu Shui declared. "And you, Gao Wu Quyi, survived only because you were unaware and because you are my father."
"If you don't admit your mistakes, you'll stay in this cell forever," Gao Wu Shui said with a cold smile.
"No matter who the family sides with, you shouldn't have betrayed it," Gao Wu Quyi said.
"Betrayed the family?" Gao Wu Shui laughed coldly. "I am now the clan leader, the family's only Eternal True God! As long as I live, the family can continue. If I die, the family will immediately fall apart, its assets seized by other forces. If you truly care about the family, you should be loyal to me."
"I'm your father!" Gao Wu Quyi couldn't stand his son's attitude.
"My mother gave birth to me, my master raised me, and you—what do you count for?" Gao Wu Shui turned and left.
In a hidden underground hall in an ordinary cave dwelling within Huyang City.
Xue Yun, Yu Tian Xu, and Yu Tian Yi were gathered.
"We've tried every means to gather information on the three restricted areas," Xue Yun said. "But the City Lord's Mansion has sealed off all information. The guards at the restricted areas are their core members, making them difficult to bribe."
"Gao Wu Wei of the Gao Wu family was easy to bribe, but he handled things so poorly. Not only did he fail to persuade Gao Wu Shui, but he lost his own life," Yu Tian Xu shook his head.
"A useless fool who died deserves it," Yu Tian Yi said. "Shenjun Xue Yun, we've been gathering information for so long. When will we take action?"
"After all this preparation, it's time to act," Xue Yun said.
Yu Tian Xu and Yu Tian Yi's eyes lit up.
"What's the plan?" Yu Tian Xu asked.
"Our target is the three restricted areas," Xue Yun explained. "The City Lord's Mansion officially only has Mo Li Xiao on the surface; they might have hidden forces. But with the three of us working together, we have nothing to fear from the City Lord's Mansion. If we can breach one of the restricted areas and destroy it, the power of the Huyang City formation will drastically weaken."
The Huyang City formation had many critical nodes, and damaging an ordinary node would have little effect on the formation.
But the three restricted areas were the core.
"I'll give you the detailed plan on the day of action," Xue Yun said.
"Alright, we'll follow your lead, Brother Xue Yun," Yu Tian Xu and Yu Tian Yi said confidently.
Yu Tian Xu, having awakened a special bloodline, had a divine body that was considered the pinnacle of the bloodline cultivation path at the Eternal True God level. Xue Yun, who had seen much, believed that Yu Tian Xu's divine body was almost on par with an infinite divine body.
Of course, the infinite divine body had much greater potential, useful even at the Chaos-level and God King level. The "bloodline cultivation path" peaked at Chaos Sovereign, with far less potential.
But that didn't diminish Yu Tian Xu's immense power at this moment.
As one of the "Five Gods of Yu Tian," Yu Tian Yi was also a powerhouse on par with Mo Li Xiao.
The three of them working together had plenty of confidence.
In a refined cave dwelling within the massive Golden Armor Legion camp.
Luo Feng was holding a wine flask.
"Gulp." He took two sips of the wine, immediately feeling the poison seep into his soul, causing his mental will to waver. At the same time, Luo Feng continued to cultivate the "Great Destruction Heart Refining Technique," which repeatedly sought to obliterate his will.
"The Duandong River lineage has methods to enhance the effects of Black Ze Poison," Luo Feng thought. "Using Black Ze Poison as a base, along with certain ingredients and fruit wine, I can brew a unique-tasting wine that will be even more effective for cultivating mental will."
"My soul is too strong, and my mental will is even more powerful. Purely relying on the poison would be too wasteful," Luo Feng thought. "The combination of Black Ze fruit wine and the 'Great Destruction Heart Refining Technique' is the best approach and will save on Black Ze Poison."
This kind of cultivation, while painful for most, was something Luo Feng had long since adapted to, particularly after enduring the far greater pain of binding the Star Tower.
After all, regular cultivation methods couldn't match the pain level of binding the Star Tower.
So Luo Feng was indifferent; he even found a bit of pleasure in this small amount of pain as part of his cultivation.
"Master, are we going to stay here for a full era?" Morosa approached, clearly dissatisfied. "I'm just a servant; can't I go out for a walk?"
He had grown accustomed to enjoying the pleasures of the city, and staying in the military camp for so long was starting to get to him.
"Look at you," Luo Feng shook his head. "You have so little patience; your mental will is really just average."
"I believe in enjoying life while I can. What's that got to do with mental will?" Morosa retorted.
"I'm here keeping watch, and you, my servant, want to go out and have fun?" Luo Feng looked at him. "Don't you think that's a bit much?"
Morosa lowered his head.
"Wait," Luo Feng said. "Wait until the Shiguo forces attack or until the era is over."
Suddenly—
Without warning, an incredibly terrifying cold descended, instantly covering the entire Golden Armor Legion camp. In the darkness of the night, the massive camp, spanning billions of kilometers, was entirely engulfed in frost.
"They're here already?" Luo Feng looked up in surprise.
"Finally!" Morosa was delighted.
