“I’ll pay! I’ll pay!” Luo Feng’s palm enclosed the ‘True God’s Heart,’ which echoed with a voice, and the face of Vice President Lai Mo that surfaced on it was filled with anxiety and panic.
At such a time, the dignity of a strong person was dog shit! Vice President Lai Mo did not want to die at all.
“Where is the Cosmic Sand for the supplementary payment?” Luo Feng asked.
“It’s with the president, the president has it!” the face of Vice President Lai Mo on the True God’s Heart shouted urgently, “President, President!!!” His voice, imbued with the Divine Power of an Eternal True God Level being, naturally carried far and wide. If not for the Formation shielding every corner of the Dream Flower Tower, the sound would have traveled even farther.
Whoosh.
A figure with black scales had arrived at the doorway of the Orchid Star Hall. It was the Blood Python Association Leader, Mu Yang.
As the leader of one of the Dark Forces, although Mu Yang’s body was covered with black scales, his aura was subdued, making him seem ordinary. But those with informed sources were well aware that Blood Python Association Leader Mu Yang was one of the most formidable beings within Huyang City. His strength was unfathomable, and even the city owners mansion had suffered losses at his hands.
“I will pay the twelve thousand Cosmic Sand to make up for the shortage, and I kindly ask you to spare my brother.” Blood Python Association Leader Mu Yang said with a smile. “Also, we would like to redeem that scepter weapon. Please name your price.”
“The Blood Python Association Leader is indeed straightforward,” Luo Feng remarked, holding the True God’s Heart in his left hand and casually tossing the scepter weapon with a flick of his wrist. “This scepter weapon can count for six thousand Cosmic Sand.”
“I haven’t even given you the Cosmic Sand, and Brother Luo He, you’ve already returned the weapon. I admire that, I really do!” Blood Python Association Leader Mu Yang praised with a smile.
He could fully predict the consequences of not providing the Cosmic Sand.
“Here are eighteen thousand Cosmic Sand.” The Blood Python Association Leader produced a black bottle in his hand, which flew toward Luo Feng. As Luo Feng swept over it with his Divine Power, he confirmed it contained precisely 18,000 grains, not one more, not one less.
Luo Feng caught the black bottle with his right hand and flung the True God’s Heart with his left. The True God’s Heart turned into a streak of light and flew into Vice President Lai Mo’s body. Lai Mo quickly stood up, now looking at Luo Feng with fear.
During the negotiation, the other Eternal True Gods didn’t dare to speak out. They were afraid that any mishap might incite Luo Feng’s wrath upon them.
“Brother Luo He’s strength is truly admirable. It’s only right that two thousand Cosmic Sand go to you,” said Blood Python Association Leader Mu Yang. “We will take our leave from tonight’s Hundred Flowers Banquet.”
After speaking, the Blood Python Association Leader walked out, Vice President Lai Mo followed him, and the Dream Flower Tower Master could only watch from the side.
Luo Feng looked at the black bottle in his hand.
“This president is quite tolerant,” Luo Feng thought. Among the more than ten Eternal True Gods who participated in the Hundred Flowers Banquet, based on the intelligence he knew, the most powerful and wealthiest should be none other than Blood Python Association Leader Mu Yang.
Although the two Eternal True Gods from the Qumeng Royal Family had high statuses, the Qumeng Royal Family within Huyang City had more than ten Eternal True Gods, and the Secret Techniques they cultivated consumed a lot of resources. How much could they have left?
But the Blood Python Association Leader monopolized power, long exploiting the Myriad Clans’ Cultivators of Huyang City, so his accumulated wealth was naturally immense.
“River God Luo He,” the Dream Flower Tower Master approached.
“It’s not suitable to stay any longer tonight. Dream Flower Tower Master, I shall take my leave now,” Luo Feng said as he got up. The other Eternal True Gods were watching him from afar, so he couldn’t continue to listen to the music.
Luo Feng left with Moli Meng, and the Dream Flower Tower Master could only follow to see them off, even promising, “Rest assured, God Luo He, we at Dream Flower Tower will take good care of Araya in the future.”
The Dream Flower Tower Master was indeed somewhat nervous.
There was no helping it; having seen Luo He effortlessly extract Vice President Lai Mo’s ‘True God’s Heart,’ she couldn’t help being nervous.
“This Lord Luo He is too powerful,” the Dream Flower Tower Master watched Luo Feng and his companion leave. “He must be among the very top of Huyang City, but why did he lose control under my Illusion Technique?”
…
“What an exciting night at the Hundred Flowers Banquet!”
“The conflict eventually saw the Blood Python Association bowing their heads,” the two Eternal True Gods from the Qumeng Clan started chatting and standing up. Whether it was Luo Feng’s action or the Blood Python Association Leader Mu Yang’s compliant compensation, both were intriguing to them.
A head of the Dark Forces bowing and paying? How rare!
“Lord Luo He’s strength is truly terrifying.”
“Did he lose control in the Illusion because of a flaw in his spirit, or did he do it on purpose?” These Eternal True Gods, one by one, got up; they no longer had the mood to continue at the banquet.
“Lord Luo He’s strength surpasses mine,” Lord Bai Wu commented quietly. “Blood Python Association Leader is extremely powerful, yet he had to cede!”
As part of Huyang City’s Dark Forces, Lord Bai Wu certainly understood how fearsome the Blood Python Association Leader was!
If the ‘Six Lords Alliance’s’ six Eternal True Gods were nearly equal in strength, combining to exert formidable influence, then the Blood Python Association, predominantly, drew its might from the Blood Python Association Leader’s personal power with the two Vice Presidents being far inferior!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
One by one, these Eternal True Gods began to leave discussing among themselves or weighed down with thoughts. Only two Eternal True Gods, Shang Tianyan and Sang Shuiyun, lingered, still enamored by the Dream Flower Tower Master.
“This Brother Luo He that I’ve recently become acquainted with has extraordinary strength!” Shang Tianyan exclaimed, “He was even willing to have a drink with me and acknowledge me as a friend.”
“How could someone as strong as him lose control in an Illusion Technique?” Sang Shuiyun, the winged man, said with a despairing look in his eyes filled with confusion, “An eternal true god might have a weak will, but such a powerful eternal true god cannot possibly have a weak will!”
“That’s right, whether it’s refining the bloodline of exotic beasts or cultivating powerful secret techniques, both require great willpower,” Shang Tianyan said.
“But he just lost control,” Sang Shuiyun said, “We both saw it.”
Shang Tianyan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, “Yes, he indeed lost control just now.”
“I don’t understand,” Sang Shuiyun said, his eyes full of confusion.
“Sometimes, losing control isn’t necessarily because the illusion is too strong,” Shang Tianyan said, “It might also be because he chose to immerse himself in it.”
“Immerse himself?” Sang Shuiyun turned to look at Shang Tianyan, “Is there something he’s pursuing in the Illusory Realm?”
Shang Tianyan, catching sight of the Dream Flower Tower Master approaching from afar, immediately brightened up and quickly called out, “Tower Master!”
Sang Shuiyun’s gaze softened a few degrees as he looked towards the Dream Flower Tower Master.

Blood Python Association Headquarters.
“This time our Blood Python Association has lost face, being utterly outdone by a new eternal true god, even President Mu Yang had to personally apologize,” a gaunt figure couldn’t help but say, who was the other Vice President, Mu Lin, “This incident happened in the Dream Flower Tower, and so many eternal true gods saw it, it will spread throughout all of Huyang City’s powers overnight!”
Vice President Lai Mo and President Mu Yang both remained very quiet.
“Lai Mo, is he really that strong? To take away your True God’s Heart in one move?” Vice President Mu Lin pressed on.
“Would I lie about such a thing?” Vice President Lai Mo snapped, embarrassed and furious.
“Enough,”
President Mu Yang looked out the window and said, “Let’s put an end to this matter right here!”
Vice President Mu Lin looked at his fellow clansman in surprise, “Are we going to let this Luo He, who just popped up from nowhere, keep pushing the Blood Python Association around?”
“A regular eternal true god daring to defy us certainly cannot be tolerated,” President Mu Yang said calmly, “But for an eternal true god who could take away Vice President Lai Mo’s True God’s Heart in one move, it’s not shameful for us to yield and bear with it.”
President Mu Yang gazed out the window, “Moreover, I can tell he was waiting for me to make my move! He lurks in the shadows while I’m in the light. He knows a lot about me, yet I know nothing about him… Of course, I can’t make a move.”
“Just wait, once I understand his background,” President Mu Yang’s eyes were ice-cold, “I will make him pay the price.”
…
So many eternal true gods witnessed this conflict, and as the word spread from ten to a hundred, virtually all the well-informed powers within Huyang City received detailed reports of the incident that night.
Every faction also memorized the name ‘Luo He.’
Within a small building in the Flame Wind Pavilion.
“This Luo He is really interesting,” the Master of the Flame Wind Pavilion said, looking at the latest report, “He lost control to the music and Illusion Technique of the Dream Flower Tower Master. Yet the next moment, without using any Secret Treasure Weapons, he simply reached out his hand and took the Vice President of the Blood Python Association’s True God’s Heart.”
A figure shrouded in gray mist calmly organizing the reports said, “He made his move right in front of Blood Python Association’s President Mu Yang, clearly prepared for a proper fight. But Mu Yang backed down, bowed his head.”
“Uncle, who do you think is stronger between the two of them?” the Master of the Flame Wind Pavilion asked curiously.
“The Blood Python Association has a lot of powers coveting its territory, and the Five Great Families have taken drastic actions. But from what we’ve investigated in the Flame Wind Pavilion, President Mu Yang has survived several assassination attempts and even killed several eternal true gods from the Five Great Families.
To this day, we still haven’t fully figured out his real capabilities,” the gray figure said, “As for this other Luo He, we know almost nothing about him; he’s very mysterious.”
“Who’s stronger? Only a fight would reveal that,” the figure enshrouded in gray mist said.
“Knowing President Mu Yang of the Blood Python Association, this matter won’t just end like this,” the Master of the Flame Wind Pavilion said with expectation in his eyes.

Inside Primal Chaos Armor No. 3 Super-Large Cave Mansion.
Moli Meng, looking at the latest intelligence sent by the city owner’s mansion, was surprised: “This Luo He actually managed to overpower the Blood Python Association? And the city owner’s mansion upgraded his rating to Grade A directly?”
The city owner’s mansion rates each eternal true god from high to low in four levels: Grade A, B, C, and D.
The highest, ‘Grade A,’ represents an eternal true god that not even a dispatched Huyang Legion could handle!
