Chapter 23: Diao Rongqi's Choice

Diao Rongqi sat there blankly, tears streaming down her face.

"Xiao Qi, what's wrong?" Mo Li Feiyun, seeing her friend crying, immediately sobered up and quickly asked, "What happened?"

"My father is dead," Diao Rongqi said blankly.

When her father was alive, she was a noble lady from a large family, and she associated with the children of prominent families in Huyang City. She even looked down on ordinary Eternal True Gods as teachers. She wanted to be a disciple of the strongest person on the surface in Huyang City, 'Commander Mo Li Xiao'. As a second choice, she wanted to be a disciple of 'Lord Luohe', who could suppress the dark forces.

Diao Rongqi was not very willing to choose her father, an ordinary Eternal True God skilled in alchemy.

But when her father died and left a way out for her in his pre-death message, she couldn't bear it.

"Father!" Diao Rongqi knew very well that her father was the one who loved her most in this world, the closest relative who was willing to give everything for her.

"Uncle Yan is dead?" Mo Li Feiyun couldn't believe it. "How is that possible? Uncle Yan is an Eternal True God, who killed him?"

"He was indeed killed."

A sigh sounded, and it was 'Mo Li Meng', the current head of the Mo Li clan. As for Mo Li Xiao, he didn't have the energy to manage family affairs.

"Father," Mo Li Feiyun said, looking at her father.

"Just now, all the living beings in the cave dwelling of the main branch of the Diao Rong clan were killed, leaving no one alive," Mo Li Meng said. "Now only some branches of the Diao Rong clan remain."

The size of a cave dwelling is limited, and some large clans can only spread out, especially the peripheral branches that can only live in ordinary cave dwellings. This time, it was the core of the Diao Rong clan that was destroyed.

"Father, who is the murderer?" Mo Li Feiyun asked.

Diao Rongqi also looked at Mo Li Meng.

Mo Li Meng said, "Before Diao Rongyan died, he should have contacted many friends through the cause-and-effect communication order, saying that the murderer was Mu Yang, the president of the Blood Python Society."

"My father also sent me a message, also saying that the murderer was the president of the Blood Python Society," Diao Rongqi said hoarsely. "The entire cave dwelling, including my father, had tens of thousands of living beings, from Eternal True Gods to young children in the clan, leaving no one alive. And with the conclusive evidence of my father's personal message, the City Lord's Mansion should take action, right?"

Mo Li Meng shook his head: "The president of the Blood Python Society is not an ordinary Eternal True God. He leads a force, and killing him is not easy. It also needs to be discussed by the five major families before a decision can be made. Moreover, your father's message before his death doesn't count as conclusive evidence. The murderer may well have disguised himself as the president of the Blood Python Society."

"Disguise?" Diao Rongqi asked anxiously, "Can't even my father's message before his death be believed?"

"Some secret methods of disguise are difficult for even Eternal True Gods to see through," Mo Li Meng said. "In short, to completely determine the identity of the murderer and get the City Lord's Mansion to act... it's difficult."

Diao Rongqi was silent.

"After your father's death, your father's many industries, the many cave dwellings and shops for alchemy, etc., are difficult for you, a Void True God, to control," Mo Li Meng shook his head. "My Mo Li clan can help receive them."

"Father!" Mo Li Feiyun said anxiously.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in taking advantage of this little bit. These industries are valued at 20,000 cosmos sand, which will be deposited in the Yanfeng Pavilion in your name, Diao Rongqi," Mo Li Meng said. "It's not suitable for you to carry too much cosmos sand."

"Thank you, Uncle Meng," Diao Rongqi said gratefully. She also knew that this price was definitely not low.

"In the entire Huyang City, there are only a handful of people who are sure to kill the president of the Blood Python Society," Mo Li Meng said. "So to kill him, you need to have enough patience to wait for the right opportunity."

Diao Rongqi asked, "Can Commander Mo Li take action? I can give up these 20,000 cosmos sand."

"It's not as simple as you think," Mo Li Meng turned and left.

"Xiao Qi, just live with me, no one will threaten you," Mo Li Feiyun said.

Diao Rongqi said softly, "Feiyun, I want to be quiet."

"Okay, I won't disturb you," Mo Li Feiyun got up and left.

Diao Rongqi sat there alone, staring blankly at the night sky, at the countless twinkling stars in the night sky. Just now, the star belonging to her father must have also completely dimmed.

"Father..." At this moment, Diao Rongqi missed her father immensely, and then her eyes became crazy.

Diao Rongqi contacted the Dark Hall of the Yanfeng Pavilion remotely through the communication order.

"Diao Rongqi, your father Diao Rongyan is dead. He left you 30,000 cosmos sand in the Dark Hall. And Mo Li Meng also deposited 20,000 cosmos sand for you. You now have 50,000 cosmos sand under your name," the Dark Hall responded to her.

"I want to use 40,000 cosmos sand of it to offer a reward for Mu Yang, the president of the Blood Python Society," Diao Rongqi transmitted the message. She believed in her father's judgment on the identity of the murderer before his death.

"Okay, the reward for the president of the Blood Python Society has been increased to 160,000 cosmos sand! You still have 10,000 cosmos sand under your name," the Dark Hall responded.

After Diao Rongqi increased the reward, she could only wait silently, hoping that a strong person would accept the reward and kill the president of the Blood Python Society!

...

Headquarters of the Blood Python Society.

"Mo Li Meng, why are you here?" The president of the Blood Python Society looked at Mo Li Meng with a smile.

Mo Li Meng's face was gloomy: "Are you crazy? Diao Rongyan is focused on alchemy and has contributed to the entire Huyang City. He doesn't participate in your dark forces' battles either. Why did you attack him? Your recklessness will only cause panic among many families in Huyang City! If the five major families think that you are affecting the stability of the entire Huyang City, then you are finished!"

"I didn't kill him, the murderer disguised as me!" The president of the Blood Python Society said urgently, "The leader of the Shi Country force, 'Blood Cloud', is very good at disguise. I suspect he disguised as me."

"Diao Rongyan recognized you as the murderer before he died," Mo Li Meng sneered. "You are incompetent enough to let the other party recognize your identity."

"It really wasn't me," the president of the Blood Python Society said.

"In Huyang City, everyone has to abide by the rules!" Mo Li Meng glanced at him, turned and left. "If you don't abide by the rules, you may not be able to bear the consequences."

After saying that, Mo Li Meng had already disappeared.

The president of the Blood Python Society, Mu Yang, looked at this scene, his expression calming down.

"So what if I don't abide by the rules? Hmph, this world ultimately respects strength." The president of the Blood Python Society, Mu Yang, sneered, "I'll just kill one, what can the many families in Huyang City do? If you dare to attack me, you have to be prepared to die!""It's a pity that this Diao Rongyan was too useless. Even after killing him and plundering his entire cave, I only got 220,000 universe sand." The Blood Python Guild Leader shook his head. "The eternal true god who ranks in the top three in alchemy in Huyang City, I judge, should be quite wealthy. But I only got this little."

"If it really doesn't work, I'll have to use my armor and treasures to make up the difference," the Blood Python Guild Leader thought to himself. "I must buy the lower part of the Hun Tie Blood Sand Method as soon as possible, otherwise, if I delay for too long, I will be completely embroiled by the Shi Kingdom, and I won't even be able to save my life."

He was well aware of how dangerous the conflict between the five great families and the Shi Kingdom forces was. He had been dragged into it for the sake of inheritance and only wanted to obtain the inheritance as soon as possible and then flee far away.

The longer the delay, the more dangerous!

"I must gather a million universe sand as soon as possible!" The Blood Python Guild Leader's eyes were cold.

******

Time flows very slowly in the Origin Continent. Night passes, and day arrives.

All the major forces in Huyang City knew about 'Diao Rongyan's death' and had also heard that the murderer might be the Blood Python Guild Leader, Mu Yang. The bounty for the Blood Python Guild Leader, Mu Yang, in the Yanfeng Guild's Dark Hall was already as high as 160,000 universe sand!

"My father had some friends, but my father is dead, and none of them will help with the bounty." Diao Rongqi, in the Mo Li family, had been checking the bounty, but the reward hadn't changed, and no one had completed the bounty mission.

"The fourth highest bounty, also a leader of a dark force, is named 'Chun Yuyi,' and the bounty is 180,000 universe sand. He has been living well for many years. The Blood Python Guild Leader's bounty is now 160,000 universe sand, ranking fifth. Who would go and kill him?" Diao Rongqi repeatedly looked at the bounty mission list, hoping for some changes in the list.

But after the long night, no changes came.

Diao Rongqi only felt powerless. After her father's death, there was little she could do.

"Miss, Venerable Luo He has arrived at the Fire Realm Food Pavilion," Suo Yun, who had been guarding the Fire Realm Food Pavilion, sent a message.

"Luo He?" Diao Rongqi's heart stirred. "Venerable Luo He just arrived in Huyang City and didn't take the Blood Python Guild seriously. He is definitely not afraid of the Blood Python Guild Leader."

The Blood Python Guild Leader's reputation was formidable, causing many forces to be wary. But obviously, that Venerable Luo He didn't care, which was why Diao Rongqi immediately wanted to become his disciple.

Hu.

Diao Rongqi immediately got up.

"Xiao Qi." Mo Li Feiyun was always worried about her friend.

"I have to go out immediately," Diao Rongqi said.

"It's not safe for you to go out now," Mo Li Feiyun worried.

"It's daytime now, and there are true gods everywhere, so it's still very safe. And I have to go out!" Diao Rongqi said.

Mo Li Feiyun thought for a moment, "I'll arrange a guard team to escort you there, and you can take my Mo Li family's flying boat."

"Thank you," Diao Rongqi thanked her. She couldn't worry about too much and immediately rushed out.

……

Fire Realm Food Pavilion.

"Venerable, my young lady has instructed that all expenses of the Venerable in the Fire Realm Food Pavilion will be borne by my young lady." Suo Yun was extremely respectful.

Luo Feng arrived with Moro Sa and Mo Yu Qingyan.

"After I left the Fire Realm Food Pavilion last time, you have been guarding here?" Luo Feng looked at Suo Yun.

"Yes, it was the young lady's order," the guard Suo Yun said.

"Thank your young lady for me," Luo Feng walked directly inside. The Fire Realm Food Pavilion's owner, 'Black Butcher,' immediately came out to greet him enthusiastically.

Inside a small building.

Luo Feng and Moro Sa enjoyed the food and wine together. The servant 'Mo Yu Qingyan' could only guard outside the small building. Mo Yu Qingyan guarded very carefully.

"That Diao Rong family's eldest miss seems to want to become your disciple very much," Moro Sa said.

"Her father died last night," Luo Feng said.

"Died?" Moro Sa was surprised.

"I also heard it from a friend," Luo Feng said. After all, many forces had come to visit him, and he had made some friends. Shang Tianyan and several other eternal true gods had informed him of this news.

Luo Feng suddenly said, "The Shi Kingdom's hidden force in Huyang City is led by someone named Blood Cloud, and his bounty is as high as 1 million universe sand."

"Annihilate him!" Moro Sa's eyes lit up.

"But I can't find him," Luo Feng thought. "Do you have any way to find him?" Moro Sa was born with mastery of the Origin Avenue of Destruction. If not for relying on the will secret technique, Lie Yuan Art, Luo Feng wondered if he could even win against Moro Sa.

He couldn't find Blood Cloud, but Moro Sa might have a chance.

"I haven't met him," Moro Sa frowned. "If I had met him once, I might have some way to find him."

"Too bad," Luo Feng shook his head.

If he could kill Blood Cloud, the spoils obtained from Blood Cloud and the huge bounty would be worth more than a group of dark force leaders. It was estimated that the resources needed for his three body refinements would be enough.

Unfortunately, he couldn't find him!

"Master," Mo Yu Qingyan's voice came from outside, "Diao Rongqi is requesting an audience."

"She's here?" Luo Feng looked at the Fire Realm Feast in front of him. "Let her in."

Mo Yu Qingyan, who had been carefully guarding the door, then stepped aside and said, "My master will allow you to enter."
