Chapter 48: Array Masters

Luo Feng brought Moluo Sa to the cave residence of the Zhu Clan. After all, they were both in the 'Chaos Zone A', so they were close by.

"As expected of the Zhu Clan, the cost of this formation alone must have been very high." Luo Feng looked at the mighty formation in operation. Its power was the strongest he had ever seen in Huyang City.

With such a terrifying formation, the assassin Ying Cang would not be able to kill his way in.

Luo Feng, after more than twenty eras of cultivation, had greatly improved his realm. Even so, he might only be able to tear through the formation and kill his way in while burning his divine power.

"Almost all of the hundreds of millions of core members of my Zhu Clan reside here, so we cannot afford to be careless." Zhu You, who was accompanying him, explained with a smile, "Back then, my Zhu Clan also spent a Great Karma for this formation."

Luo Feng nodded. Unlike the five major families, which only had branches here, the Zhu Clan was rooted here and naturally managed their cave residence as a secure fortress.

Soon, Luo Feng saw a thin old man with green secret patterns on his skin. The old man looked at Luo Feng with a smile, "Divine Lord Luo He."

"Clan Leader Zhu Gu." Luo Feng said politely. Clan Leader Zhu Gu's reputation in Huyang City was no less than that of Mo Li Xiao and Xue Yun.

"Please." Clan Leader Zhu Gu led them into a small building.

Zhu Gu, Zhu You, and Luo Feng sat down separately, and exquisite food and wine were served.

"I only have the opportunity to meet with Divine Lord Luo He today." Clan Leader Zhu Gu looked at Luo Feng and praised, "Divine Lord has not been in Huyang City for long, but his reputation is now the greatest in Huyang City."

"That's just an undeserved reputation." Luo Feng said.

"Divine Lord is too modest." Clan Leader Zhu Gu waved his hand, and a green jade bottle flew over and landed on the table in front of Luo Feng, "2 million universe sand, Divine Lord can verify."

Luo Feng's divine power permeated and checked it. It was indeed a full 2 million universe sand, not a single grain less. This made Luo Feng secretly sigh. The local forces represented by the Zhu Clan were also quite unfathomable, and such a huge sum of wealth was taken out so easily.

"This is the Sword of Worlds." Luo Feng also gave the mechanical treasure 'Sword of Worlds' to Clan Leader Zhu Gu.

Clan Leader Zhu Gu briefly checked it and put it away.

With the transaction completed, the atmosphere became more harmonious.

After eating and drinking to their fill, Luo Feng bid farewell to Clan Leader Zhu Gu, and Zhu You personally escorted him out.

"No need to see me off."

Outside the main entrance of the Zhu Clan's cave residence, Luo Feng, with Moluo Sa, drove the flying boat away.

Clan Leader Zhu Gu stood in front of the small building, watching the flying boat leave from afar.

A gentle woman appeared beside him.

"Divine Lord Wei, your Sword of Worlds." Clan Leader Zhu Gu handed the Sword of Worlds to the woman, "Divine Lord Wei, you were observing in secret, did you discover the truth about this Divine Lord Luo He?"

"He gives me a very unique feeling." The gentle woman said with interest, "I left the royal capital to travel to various cities of the Yu Kingdom. I feel that this Divine Lord Luo He is the most amazing person I have ever met."

Clan Leader Zhu Gu was surprised: "The most amazing person?"

"It's just a feeling." The gentle woman then said, "Thank you, Clan Leader Zhu Gu, for this transaction. Now that I have the Sword of Worlds, I will take my leave."

"It's just a small matter." Clan Leader Zhu Gu was still very enthusiastic in his service. In terms of strength, he was no less than this Divine Lord Wei. But Divine Lord Wei's background was far greater than that of the five major families, so he naturally had to keep her happy.

……

In the following days, Luo Feng sold some of his past 'spoils of war' to some chambers of commerce in Huyang City, converting them all into universe sand.

"I now have 3.3 million universe sand, and three body refinements are estimated to require materials worth 3.6 million universe sand. Plus some accidental losses during body refinement, I need to prepare a little more." Luo Feng thought, "I'm short of thirty-odd thousand universe sand, what should I do?"

He didn't want to sell the two mechanical treasures, the River of Life Blood and the Myriad Realms Escape Order, for the time being.

He still had some Eternal True God-level armor, weapons, alien beast materials, etc., which were worth a total of three to four hundred thousand universe sand.

More than half of the 'Ye Beast Blood' given by the City Lord's Mansion was still left, which was also worth five to six hundred thousand universe sand. But Luo Feng didn't really want to sell them.

"I'm short of thirty-odd thousand universe sand, I'll just take on another bounty mission." Luo Feng nodded slightly, "I haven't taken action for so long, I'm afraid I won't be able to deter those fierce people."

"Choose someone who deserves to be killed." Luo Feng began to check the assassination missions in the Dark Palace of the Yanfeng Pavilion, carefully selecting.

Suddenly——

"Brother Luo He, you hurry to Tianyan Gate." Mo Li Meng sent a message to Luo Feng.

"What happened to Tianyan Gate?" Luo Feng was a little puzzled. Tianyan Gate was a weapon refining sect created by his friend 'Shang Tianyan'.

"The Shi Kingdom forces have captured several formation masters, and it is likely that they will also capture Shang Tianyan." Mo Li Meng sent a message.

Luo Feng's heart tightened.

During these twenty-odd eras, Shang had always told him everything he knew about his confusion in body refinement. Moreover, after such a long time of interaction, Shang Tianyan could also be called Luo Feng's only friend in Huyang City.

As for Black Butcher, Mo Yu Hu, etc., their relationships were not equal, so they were naturally far from being 'friends'.

"Qingyan, you guard the cave residence." Luo Feng instructed, and then took Moluo Sa, driving the flying boat and quickly left the cave residence.

"What's going on?" Mo Yu Qingyan looked at this scene from afar, "Does the master seem a little anxious?"

……

Tianyan Gate.

"Brother Luo He." Shang Tianyan's burly figure took the initiative to greet him, looking at Luo Feng and Moluo Sa who came out of the flying boat.

"Mo Li Meng sent me a message saying you were in danger?" Luo Feng said.

Shang Tianyan shook his head: "Just tonight, eight formation masters in Huyang City were captured and taken away by a mysterious force at the same time. These eight formation masters are all Eternal True Gods, and none of them were able to resist."

"Captured at the same time?" Luo Feng was very surprised. It was not easy to capture Eternal True Gods alive. Splitting up into eight groups at the same time, each group being able to capture Eternal True Gods alive, this force was very powerful.

"Yes, most of these eight formation masters were in their own cave residences." Shang Tianyan nodded, "They were all captured alive and taken away, and even the City Lord's Mansion could not trace their whereabouts. With such strength, and doing such a thing, it should only be the Shi Kingdom forces."

"Why capture them?" Luo Feng asked.

Shang Tianyan said: "The formation of the entire city of Huyang City is very large, and it is a perfect combination of a large number of formations. Over the long years, many formation masters have also repaired it. There are a total of nine people who repair the formation and still live in Huyang City. The eight who were captured tonight are among them! I am the last one."

"They captured eight and let me go." Shang Tianyan shook his head, "The City Lord's Mansion may even suspect that I colluded with the Shi Kingdom forces."

Luo Feng understood: "The eight formation masters were all serving the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord's Mansion doesn't want to find a way to save them?"

"I have already inquired with the City Lord's Mansion." Shang Tianyan looked at the night sky and sighed, "The City Lord's Mansion responded that the first time the eight formation masters were captured, their Karma Communication Orders were destroyed, and the locations of the eight formation masters could not be locked."

"The City Lord's Mansion should have the Karma Imprints of these eight formation masters." Luo Feng said, "Based on this Karma Imprint, they should be able to deduce the locations of the eight formation masters."

"Just use the Karma Imprint to deduce the location?" Shang Tianyan shook his head, "That's a method that only Chaos Dominators have."

"Yanfeng Pavilion can do it." Luo Feng said.

"Yanfeng Pavilion needs one million universe sand to deduce using the Karma Imprint." Shang Tianyan shook his head, "The City Lord's Mansion can't bear to spend it. According to past experience, once they are taken away by the Shi Kingdom forces, life and death... is decided by the Shi Kingdom forces."

Luo Feng nodded slightly.

"So, you can't get involved in their struggles. Once you get involved, you can be crushed at any time." Shang Tianyan shook his head, "But we who are good at formations are ordered by the City Lord's Mansion to repair some formation damage. We don't have the right to refuse."

Shang Tianyan looked at Luo Feng: "I have no collusion with the Shi Kingdom. The reason they didn't capture me this time, I guess... they don't want to offend you."

"Nine, and they only let me go." Shang Tianyan said, "The eight who were captured are all my friends, and they often discuss formations with me. I don't know if they can survive this time."

******

Inside a secret treasure space.

Divine Lord Xue Yun, Yu Tian Hu, and Yu Tian Yi stood there, along with more than ten Eternal True Gods interrogating in independent spaces.

The Shi Kingdom forces have two teams in Huyang City, a weaker team led by Guild Master Zan Yun, and a stronger team led by Divine Lord Xue Yun! Guild Master Zan Yun can only contact Divine Lord Xue Yun, and cannot contact many of Divine Lord Xue Yun's subordinates.

"Answer obediently, and you can live. If you don't tell, you will die, and your family will be destroyed." Those Eternal True Gods threatened.

They had many means of threatening them, so that these formation masters could not survive or die.

Before long, all the captured formation masters had confessed.

In fact, what they knew was only the tip of the iceberg of the Huyang City formation.

"Of these eight formation masters, one was already in our employment, and the other seven have finally confessed this time." Divine Lord Xue Yun said with a smile.

"What should be done with these formation masters?" Yu Tian Hu asked.

"Release five and kill three." Divine Lord Xue Yun said casually, "First, let all parties in Huyang City know that there is no good end to serving the City Lord's Mansion. Second, let them know that our Shi Kingdom is still merciful and will let go of some obedient Eternal True Gods."

Yu Tian Hu frowned: "We just need to complete the mission. In my opinion, kill them all."

"Do as I say." Divine Lord Xue Yun glanced at Yu Tian Hu, and then determined the list of five survivors, including the formation master who had defected to them.

That night.

The five surviving formation masters were released.

……

Inside the Tianyan Gate.

Luo Feng and Moluo Sa sat opposite each other, drinking wine.

Shang Tianyan drank wine, looked at the night sky, and was very anxious. Suddenly his face changed and he took out his Karma Communication Order.

"What's wrong?" Luo Feng asked.

"Of the eight captured friends, the Karma of three of them suddenly disappeared." Shang Tianyan looked at the Karma Communication Order, "The Karma disappeared, all three of them are dead. They were obviously unable to resist, but the Shi Kingdom forces still killed them."
