Chapter 52: City Lord's Manor Employment

"My divine body, I can't improve for the time being," Luo Feng thought. "Next, on the one hand, I need to cultivate the Lie Yuan Technique and strive for an early breakthrough in willpower. On the other hand, I need to increase my comprehension of the laws and first comprehend some Chaos Realm techniques."

Comprehending the Chaos Laws is not something that can be done overnight.

It requires constant accumulation. First, comprehend some Chaos Realm techniques, and then, after a long period of accumulation, one day you will have an epiphany and comprehend the complete Chaos Laws.

"The bloodline cultivation path allows one to achieve the Chaos Realm through bloodline transformation," Luo Feng thought. "But I only have one path: 'comprehending the Chaos Laws.'"

"The three secret techniques, Chaos Great Strength Diagram, Boundary Breaking Nine Saber, and Nine Nightmares Realm, I have already cultivated to perfection at the Eternal True God level. Donghua Severance still has some aspects I haven't fully comprehended at the Eternal True God level, and there is more room for improvement with the Lie Yuan Technique."

With a thought, Luo Feng continued to maintain the Great Destruction Heart Refining Method to temper his willpower. This seemed painful, but Luo Feng's mental willpower had long adapted to it.

"Phew."

While maintaining the tempering of his willpower, Luo Feng's divine body returned to normal, and he then left the Star Tower.

Rumble~~~

As the door to the underground hall opened, Mo Luosa and Mo Yuqing Yan in the cave immediately came to greet him: "Master!"

Luo Feng's perfect divine body could perfectly conceal all aura, so Mo Luosa and Mo Yuqing Yan couldn't detect any changes in Luo Feng.

"Qing Yan, aren't you at home with your father?" Luo Feng said with a smile.

"As soon as you went into seclusion, Master, he went back to be with his father and his two brothers. But he ran back after a short time," Mo Luosa said with a smile.

"Ran back?" Luo Feng was surprised.

Mo Yuqing Yan could only explain: "My eldest brother recently got married. My eldest and third brothers are both married, and they helped matchmake, and many female cultivators took the initiative to visit. I was so disturbed that I had to run back."

"Many female cultivators took the initiative to visit?" Luo Feng smiled. "How many is 'many'?"

"Quite a few, even a few bold female cultivators came to the front of Master's cave," Mo Luosa said with a chuckle. "Later, Qing Yan asked me to come forward and scare away those female cultivators."

"I have no interest in matters of the heart. I just want to comprehend the Ten Basic Laws as soon as possible," Mo Yuqing Yan said.

Luo Feng nodded and smiled: "That's right. Once you become a Void True God, you'll have endless lifespan. There's no need to rush matters of the heart. When you meet someone you truly like, your heart will tell you."

Mo Yuqing Yan listened, but he was clearly determined in his heart and unwilling to get involved in matters of the heart.

Luo Feng then asked: "Did anything major happen in Hu Yang City during my seclusion? Did Shangtian Yan encounter any trouble?"

"His life is carefree, and no one would go against him," Mo Luosa said. "But there's been a lot of infighting in Hu Yang City. The City Lord's Mansion and the Food Country forces have fought several battles, with quite a few casualties."

Luo Feng nodded.

"The biggest incident was related to Gao Wushui. That commander, Gao Wushui, even turned against his own family," Mo Luosa said with a smile.

"What happened to him?" Luo Feng asked curiously.

Gao Wushui was the youngest disciple of Mo Lixiao and once wanted to capture Mei Wuqi. Luo Feng had quite a good impression of this commander, Gao Wushui.

"Gao Wushui was originally an ordinary member of the Gao Wu family and had long been marginalized. Later, he took the initiative to join the Hu Yang Legion as a soldier and was favored and cultivated by Commander Mo Lixiao. Only then did he advance rapidly to become an Eternal True God," Mo Luosa said. "The head of the Gao Wu family, 'Gao Wuwei,' recently hosted a banquet for Gao Wushui, but Gao Wushui suddenly turned against him during the banquet, dispatched Hu Yang Guards to arrest the head of the Gao Wu family and many core members, even his father!"

"He arrested all the high-level members of his family and even declared to the outside world that Gao Wuwei had defected to the Food Country forces," Mo Luosa said with emotion. "The crime of treason! This Gao Wushui wants these high-level members of the Gao Wu family to die. In fact, the head of the family was executed not long after being arrested."

Luo Feng listened and nodded: "This Gao Wushui left the family when he was young and has very little emotional connection with the family."

"Even so, taking such a ruthless action against his own family still surprised all parties in Hu Yang City," Mo Luosa said. "They all suspect that Gao Wushui deliberately framed them."

"You know quite a lot about it," Luo Feng joked.

"I heard a lot while eating and drinking outside," Mo Luosa said. "By the way, Vice City Lord Mo Li came to visit and instructed that Master contact him after coming out of seclusion."

"Mo Limeng?" Luo Feng nodded and immediately sent a message to Mo Limeng.

……

In just a moment.

Mo Lixiao and Mo Limeng arrived together and personally visited Luo Feng.

"Please, both of you, take a seat." In the pavilion on the mountaintop, Luo Feng sat there and said. Mo Yuqing Yan helped pour wine, and some rare fruits were already laid out.

"I believe Brother Luo He also knows that the Food Country forces have been making waves in Hu Yang City recently," Mo Lixiao said as he sat there. "Our City Lord's Mansion is also very troubled. Today, I am here as a representative of the City Lord's Mansion to ask Brother Luo He for help."

"Ask me for help?" Luo Feng shook his head. "I have no grievances with the Food Country forces. Why should I get involved?"

Mo Lixiao nodded: "I understand. Most of the local families in Hu Yang City are unwilling to get involved because they are afraid of retaliation from the Food Country. But Brother Luo He, you only have two servants with you, and you have nothing to worry about. Why fear the Food Country forces? Brother Luo He, you are an Eternal True God. The Chaos Dominators of the Food Country will not bully the small... Facing only some Eternal True Gods, Brother Luo He, you probably won't care."

"I'm not afraid of them, but that doesn't mean I have to fight them to the death," Luo Feng refused.

"We are sincere in asking Brother Luo He for help," Mo Lixiao said. "Brother Luo He, you only need to help guard a place. The guarding time will not exceed one epoch, and we are willing to offer one million universe sand."

"Guard for one epoch?" Luo Feng shook his head. "Too long."

One million universe sand, I can find a way to get it myself, so it's not very attractive.

"It's not necessary to guard for one epoch. Once the Food Country makes a move, Brother Luo He, help guard the important place, and it will be considered completing the employment task," Mo Lixiao said.

Luo Feng listened and said: "You should know that one million universe sand is nothing to me."

"Yes, Brother Luo He, in just one day, you forced the Six Gentlemen Alliance and Yunbao Tower to compensate one million universe sand," Mo Lixiao said. "But the resources that our City Lord's Mansion can mobilize are also limited.""I need a portion of 'Black Swamp Venom'," Luo Feng said. "If you are willing, I will help. Otherwise, you should seek someone else."

"Black Swamp Venom?" Mo Li Xiao was surprised. "Brother Luo He actually knows that the Yu Kingdom produces 'Black Swamp Venom'?"

"I've heard of it," Luo Feng said.

The information from his master, Sitting Mountain Guest, and the Duan Dong River lineage gave Luo Feng a good understanding of most of the ancient existences in the various countries of the Origin Continent. He also knew that some of the Yu Kingdom's special products, including 'Black Swamp Venom', were very suitable for him.

Black Swamp Venom contains terrifying poison, but if taken in very small amounts, it can be used to temper one's mental will.

For the Yu Kingdom, as the producing country, the cost of a portion of Black Swamp Venom is relatively low, and it is mostly supplied to the descendants of large clans on the Origin Continent. It rarely finds its way to large cities.

If Luo Feng wanted to buy it at a higher price, he would generally have to pay several times the original price.

"I'll discuss it with the City Lord," Mo Li Xiao said, his divine power incarnation in the City Lord's mansion also discussing the matter with other companions.

Not long after.

"Black Swamp Venom is originally a special product of the Qu Meng royal family. The City Lord promises to apply for a portion of 'Black Swamp Venom'," Mo Li Xiao said.

"Good," Luo Feng nodded. "Where do I need to guard?"

Mo Li Xiao smiled.

If the conditions are right, this Luo He Divine Lord can still be hired.

"I'll take you there," Mo Li Xiao nodded, and Mo Li Meng also smiled.

...

Inside the City Lord's mansion.

City Lord Hu Yang, the white-haired elder, Mo Li Xiao's divine power incarnation, and a one-horned man sat separately.

"This Luo He doesn't fear our five great families, but he's never been afraid of the Shi Country forces either. This kind of strong individual with no ties is easy to hire," City Lord Hu Yang said with a smile. "But he knows about 'Black Swamp Venom', so it seems he has some knowledge."

"With such strength, he naturally has some opportunities," the white-haired elder said. "With him joining, our guarding strength in the three forbidden areas will be sufficient, with no weak points."

"No one saw the process of him killing Ying Cang. His strength may not be as high as you imagine," the one-horned man said indifferently. "In my opinion, there's no need to let this Luo He join. The City Lord's mansion may be weaker, but it's more reliable!"

Mo Li Xiao explained, "We've also studied Luo He's temperament. He's trustworthy. And none of the three great forbidden areas can be lost!"

"Forget it, your five great families are ultimately responsible for Hu Yang City. After helping you solve this matter, I will return to the royal capital," the one-horned man said.

"Thank you, General Yong."

City Lord Hu Yang, the white-haired elder, and Mo Li Xiao were all very polite.

The one-horned man commands an army in the ancient royal capital of the Yu Kingdom, and his level as an Eternal True God is much stronger than Mo Li Xiao's. Because God-Kings find it difficult to mobilize Chaos Lords, they generally dispatch super-strong Eternal True Gods like 'General Yong' to do things.

"If it weren't for dealing with the Shi Country forces, I would really like to test the strength of this Luo He," the one-horned man said with a sigh, smiling as he got up to leave.

"Fortunately, General Yong understands that the mission is the most important thing," City Lord Hu Yang shook his head and sighed. "Otherwise, before fighting the Shi Country forces, he would have fought with Luo He Divine Lord, and that would have been a joke."

"General Yong can be trusted by the God-King, so he naturally knows what's important," the white-haired elder said with a smile.

...

A strategic location in Hu Yang City, where one of Hu Yang's ten major legions, the 'Golden Howl Legion', is stationed.

A flying ship landed inside a building in the legion's camp. Five figures walked out of it: Mo Li Xiao, Mo Li Meng, Luo Feng, and two servants.

"The Golden Howl Legion's garrison?" Luo Feng asked in surprise. "Is this the place I need to guard?"

"Yes."

Mo Li Xiao said, "This may seem like a camp, but it's actually one of Hu Yang City's forbidden areas. On the surface, there's only one legion, but there are actually two hidden Hu Yang Guard teams. With Brother Luo He helping, it's enough to guard this place."

Luo Feng looked at the building in front of him, sensing a much thicker aura deep inside.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Three figures arrived, the general of the Golden Howl Legion and two Hu Yang Guard commanders.

"Commander," the Golden Howl general and the two Hu Yang Guard commanders saluted respectfully. They also noticed Mo Li Meng, Luo Feng, and the two servants.

"From now on, Luo He Divine Lord will also be stationed here," Mo Li Xiao said. "They can follow the previous plan. Luo He Divine Lord is free to move within the camp."

"Yes," the three of them replied.

Luo Feng looked at them, his gaze lingering on one of the Hu Yang Guard commanders, Gao Wu Shui. He and this Gao Wu Shui were quite fated.

"Send the things you promised as soon as possible, or I'll go back," Luo Feng urged.

"Don't worry, we can't short you," Commander Mo Li Xiao said with a smile.

The Golden Howl general and the two Hu Yang Guard commanders secretly sighed. The highest commander of the Hu Yang Legion was usually very serious, but now he was very polite and friendly towards Luo He Divine Lord.

The three of them also understood that the Golden Howl Legion plus the two Hu Yang Guards were probably no match for Luo He Divine Lord. Luo He Divine Lord was the most important guarding force here.
