Chapter 63: Chapter 60: Just you alone?
While Luo Feng quietly searched the entire city, various powers in Huyang City were shaken. Whether they were local families, Dark Forces, major power branches, or reclusive and idle eternal true gods, they were all somewhat shocked when they received the news.
"General Yong Hu, from the Yu Kingdom's Capital, personally took action against Divine Monarch Xue Yun and was unable to subdue him. Xue Yun affected eight billion creatures and escaped?"
"Sect Leader Shang Tianyan of the Heavenly Flame Sect sacrificed himself to reveal the true identity of Divine Monarch Xue Yun as none other than Sang Shuiyun?"
"The bounty on Divine Monarch Xue Yun has reached 10 million Cosmic Sand, Yutian Xu's bounty has reached 2 million Cosmic Sand, and Yutian Yi's bounty has reached 1 million Cosmic Sand?"
Each of these three pieces of news was explosive.
Huyang City hadn't been this stirred up in a very long time!
A figure like General Yong, when looking at the entirety of the Yu Kingdom's eternal true gods, was considered prominent! Yet Divine Monarch Xue Yun could match him? Two such powerful existences converged in the small city of Huyang in a short period of time?
"A bounty as high as 10 million Cosmic Sand! This already proves the strength of Divine Monarch Xue Yun." All sides exclaimed in amazement, their eyes filled with greed but not one dared to entertain the notion of claiming this bounty.
...
The Heavenly Flame Sect.
Countless disciples were summoned and gathered in the open square.
"Among you, those who are well-informed must already know, the Sect Leader is dead," said Uncle Qiu, the metal life form, looking at the multitude of disciples. "According to the arrangements made by the Sect Leader before his death, the Heavenly Flame Sect is officially disbanded. At the latest, you must leave the sect by tomorrow daytime."
Whoosh—
The multitude of disciples was in an uproar.
"Master."
"Sect Leader."
Many disciples immediately broke into tears.
The Sect Leader provided opportunities to many weaker true gods, allowing them to join the Heavenly Flame Sect as long as they passed the test. In the Sect, regardless of their status, they had to go through rigorous learning, training, and selection processes. Only those who passed all the tests could become Direct Disciples.
Even so, the Sect Leader held over three hundred Direct Disciples under his command! This was extremely rare among the eternal true gods.
The Sect Leader never held back and would impart all his knowledge to those who were able to learn.
"Master!" Some disciples were overwhelmed with emotion and could not accept all this. In this world, many of them were struggling to survive. Later, after joining the Heavenly Flame Sect, the master did not discriminate against them and treated everyone equally, giving them the opportunity to learn Artifact Refining Skills, thus completely changing their destinies.
For many disciples, the master was the kindest person in the world toward them.
"How did the master die?"
"Who killed the master?"
"Vengeance, we must have vengeance."
Many disciples were agitated.
Uncle Qiu, the metal life form, said to the many disciples, "The Sect Leader exposed the identity of Divine Monarch Xue Yun at the cost of his life and was killed by Xue Yun. As of now, not even the city owner's mansion can do anything about Divine Monarch Xue Yun, with his bounty amounting to 10 million Cosmic Sand."
All the disciples fell silent.
10 million Cosmic Sand?
Residing within Huyang City, a true god only needs to pay a Primal Chaos Crystal per epoch. Many true gods only earn enough for the Residence Fee and no longer venture out, generally accumulating just two or three Primal Chaos Crystals.
Even true gods of void space, generally only have a few tens of thousands of Primal Chaos Crystals saved up. Even for lofty eternal true gods, besides the resources used for their Cultivation, their personal treasures are generally also only worth around ten to twenty thousand Cosmic Sand.
A precious Mechanical Flow Treasure is worth around one million Cosmic Sand, enough to create a terrifying existence like the Blood Python Association Leader.
Just the bounty alone amounts to a whopping 10 million Cosmic Sand! This demonstrates the deterrent power of Divine Monarch Xue Yun! Such a huge fortune, if offered to some eternal true gods, would be too dangerous to accept, as it would bring great disaster upon them!
"Alright, hurry up and pack up, and leave as soon as possible," Uncle Qiu turned and left.
The multitude of disciples remained silent.
Sorrow, unwillingness, helplessness! Many of them were very grateful to the Sect Leader. If they could avenge him, they would be willing to risk their lives. But... the enemy was too terrifying and strong, making these disciples despair.
"Master is dead." Moyu Liuxing's eyes were filled with tears. During the time he spent in the Heavenly Flame Sect, he truly admired and revered his master, Shang Tianyan.
Mo Youshang, who was beside him, was in immense pain, having followed the master for even longer.
"I have no master, I have no master," Mo Youshang murmured softly.
A mournful atmosphere enveloped the entire square, where countless disciples lingered for a long time without leaving.
******
Luo Feng piloted the Flying Boat, flying at high speed in the night sky over Huyang City, while Morosa carefully sensed the surrounding space. The Sector Beast is a very special life form; on one hand, it is a Perfect Life Form, and on the other, it naturally contains the Great Dao of Destruction Origin, with a life level comparable to the Primordial Cosmos.
Inside the body of the Sector Beast, it is possible to nurture a large number of warriors with various unimaginable capabilities, these are natural talents it possess.
It was only because of Luo Feng's requirements that Morosa transformed all its power into Divine Power and never used the Sector Beast's methods outside the Star Tower.
"Presence..."
Morosa's tracking and detection of presence were much stronger than Luo Feng's.
At its core, Luo Feng was just one of the many eternal true gods. But Morosa was just the Power of Sector Beast pretending to be Divine Power! Morosa was extremely sensitive to all external Divine Power presences.
"Master," Morosa suddenly spoke, "to the front left, I have detected the presence of Yutian Yi and her subordinates. The last time Yutian Yi brought four subordinates to attack the forbidden ground, I firmly remember their presence."
"Yutian Yi and her subordinates?" Luo Feng nodded slightly, "There's no rush, continue the full city search! Capturing Divine Monarch Xue Yun is the top priority."
Moving against Yutian Yi now might alert the enemy.
"Yes," Morosa nodded, continuing the search and tracking.
Time slowly passed.
As Luo Feng piloted the Flying Boat, he also used the Flame Wind Association's Dark Hall to gather intelligence.
"The bounty is quite high, raising it to ten million bounties indicates that Yu Kingdom won't immediately send masters over," Luo Feng understood this point; if a group of top experts were to come after him, there'd be no need to increase the bounty by so much.
Luo Feng took the bounties on Divine Monarch Xue Yun, Yutian Xu, and Yutian Yi, and from the bounty could somewhat deduce the extent of their strength.
Time passed.
"I've visited every part of Huyang City," the Flying Boat stopped, Luo Feng looked at Morosa, "Still no sign of Sang Shuiyun?"
"No," Morosa shook his head in confusion, "I've sensed many places more than once, there are no dead angles in the entire city. Unless he's constantly moving at high speed, and we just happened to miss each other. Otherwise... there's only one possibility, he's not within Huyang City."
Luo Feng frowned slightly.
Not within Huyang City? This is troublesome!
"This Sang Shuiyun is really cautious," Luo Feng muttered to himself, realizing that killing Sang Shuiyun wouldn't be easy.
This leader of the Shi Kingdom's forces who had always kept a low profile hidden within Huyang City had concealed most of his strength over the long years! His identity had always been a mystery until Shang Tianyan made a move and revealed his real identity.
Upon exposure, did he actually flee outside Huyang City immediately?
"Let's deal with Yutian Yi first," Luo Feng said, "Starting with her might lead us to Sang Shuiyun."
"The three of them have an unusual relationship; they are the core powerhouses of the Shi Kingdom's forces and should have a way to contact each other," Morosa nodded in agreement.
Whoosh!
The Flying Boat traced an arc in the sky, racing towards the place where Yutian Yi's presence had previously been detected.
...
Inside a very ordinary cave mansion, Yutian Xu, Yutian Yi, along with three eternal true gods were gathered.
"Who would have thought that Divine Monarch Xue Yun's real identity is Sang Shuiyun," Yutian Yi said softly with a laugh, "Even we didn't know his identity, but this time it was exposed by Shang Tianyan."
"Marquis of Jiu Jiang is really angry, raising Xue Yun's bounty to ten million Cosmic Sand, while mine is only two million Cosmic Sand," Yutian Xu shook his head, "The difference between him and me, it's not that big. By the way, little sister, your team encountered Luo He, and even your Frost Body was destroyed by him?"
"Yes," Yutian Yi nodded, "I feel his strength is slightly stronger than mine, but with the suppression of the city's great array, I could only exert a portion of my strength, naturally, I was no match for him."
Suddenly—
Boom~~~~
The entire hall they were in crumbled to pieces.
Yutian Xu, Yutian Yi, and the three eternal true gods looked up to see a figure with six pairs of dazzling golden wings. The material around them was crumbling into primal chaos currents, and these currents were spreading everywhere, suppressing all five of them.
"It's Luo He!" Yutian Yi exclaimed in shock.
"Luo He is here? Could General Yong have arrived too?" Yutian Xu also panicked, confident as he was, he knew he could not outmatch the renowned General Yong. Especially within Huyang City, he had no confidence to confront him.
The moment Luo Feng appeared, he executed Sha Wu Wings, controlling primal chaos!
"Morosa, I'm out in the open, you stay hidden! Not one of these eternal true gods is allowed to escape!" Luo Feng sent a mental message.
"Don't worry, master," Morosa hid in the shadows.
With a single step, Luo Feng was already closing in on Yutian Xu, Yutian Yi, and the three eternal true gods.
Yutian Xu and the others were also surveying their surroundings.
"Just you?" Yutian Xu asked in confusion, still warily observing the area, afraid that Great General Yong Hu might suddenly appear!
"I alone am enough," Luo Feng's gaze swept over the five of them, "I ask you, where is Xue Yun?"
"Who gave you the courage to come here alone?" Yutian Xu scoffed coldly; throughout Huyang City, only General Yong was a concern to him. He truly didn't take other eternal true gods seriously.
Yutian Yi stood there, her whole body spreading limitless icy cold, her vast frost power began to resist the Primal Chaos Domain. In terms of domain power, Yutian Yi was equally proficient and could even be a match for the Primal Chaos Domain.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~" With a wave of Luo Feng's hand, a surging wave of blood swept in all directions.
Using Perfect Divine Power to manipulate the Mechanical Stream Secret Treasure 'Life Blood River,' Luo Feng unleashed endless waves of blood, which combined with the power of the Primal Chaos Domain, instantly overpowered the vast frost forces, completely enveloping Yutian Xu, Yutian Yi, and the three eternal true gods.
"What is this?" Yutian Xu and Yutian Yi were greatly alarmed.
This boundless wave of blood, though not as profound as Divine Monarch Xue Yun's technique, was of comparable power.
The Primal Chaos Domain and the endless wave of blood overlapped, greatly suppressing the powers of Yutian Xu and Yutian Yi.
"Huff huff huff." As for the three pitiable eternal true gods, they were immediately swept up by the wave of blood to Luo Feng's side; Luo Feng looked at them.
"Spare our lives," they had no power to resist; even the Blood Python Association Leader had been completely suppressed under Luo Feng's Primal Chaos Domain—let alone these three facing dual suppression; how could these top eternal true gods resist?
"Tell me, where is Xue Yun?" Luo Feng looked at them.
"Divine Monarch Xue Yun has always been very cautious; he only summons us when there's action. We can't find him at all otherwise," one eternal true god spoke eagerly.
"Yes, we only found out today that the Divine Monarch's real identity is Sang Shuiyun. We knew nothing before."
"Where the Divine Monarch is now, we have no clue. He wouldn't tell us."
The three eternal true gods were clearly terrified.
Listening to them, it would be strange if the three subordinates could find Divine Monarch Xue Yun given his cautious nature.
"Then you are of no use," Luo Feng stated.
The three eternal true gods swept up in the wave of blood suddenly showed terror as the blood seeping into their bodies shattered their True God's Hearts, and then their three corpses were collected into the Star Tower.
Luo Feng then turned to Yutian Xu and Yutian Yi, "What about you, do you know where Divine Monarch Xue Yun is?"
