The Hunt Begins

Within the ancestral estate of the strongest native family in Huyang City, the Zhu Clan, Zhu Hu was quite shocked: "During the direct confrontation between the Shi Kingdom's forces and the City Lord's Mansion, Blood Cloud, Yu Tianhu, and Yu Tianyi were all alive and well. But after the conflict ended, Yu Tianhu and Yu Tianyi were killed?"

"Their strength is comparable to mine," Zhu Hu thought to himself. "Who in Huyang City could kill them?"

At that moment, Zhu Hu thought of two individuals.

One was, of course, the renowned General Yong! The other was the mysterious Luo He God.

"After the large-scale conflict ended, Huyang City's grand formation didn't erupt with any additional power. If General Yong had acted, he likely would have used the formation… So, the most likely scenario is that Luo He God acted?" Zhu Hu speculated.

Luo Feng had made few moves since arriving in Huyang City, and each time it was overwhelmingly one-sided.

Ying Cang tried to assassinate Luo Feng but ended up losing his own life!

The Five Great Families—Luo Feng didn't even consider them worth his attention.

All of this made it difficult for others to gauge Luo Feng's true strength.

"There's a seventy percent chance that it was Luo He God who acted. There's a thirty percent chance that it was General Yong setting a trap," Zhu Hu thought to himself. "If it really was Luo He God who killed them, then he's far more terrifying than I imagined."

In a small eatery, the God Wei was leisurely enjoying food and wine.

"Two of the Five Yu Tian Gods are dead?" At that moment, God Wei recalled the man who had once left her deeply impressed. "This doesn't seem like General Yong's style. It's likely that Luo He God was the one who acted."

Being from the Yuguo capital herself, God Wei was very familiar with General Yong.

"His origins are mysterious. Could he be from the Two Ancient Kingdoms? Or perhaps from some secret force?" God Wei was well aware of how deep the waters were on Origin Continent.

At that moment, the various forces within the city, including members of large factions, were all shaken. Being able to kill Yu Tianhu and Yu Tianyi within Huyang City—such strength was rare even within the entire Yuguo Kingdom.

On the surface, only General Yong had such strength.

The core members of the Five Great Families were all discussing the matter. They were well-informed but hadn't heard any news of the City Lord's Mansion taking action.

"The City Lord's Mansion didn't act," Mo Li Meng, the Vice City Lord, knew this fact well. "So the most likely scenario is that Luo He God acted."

"He and Shang Tianyan were close friends. With Shang Tianyan's death, Luo He God may have acted in anger," Mo Li Meng didn't hesitate and immediately took out a transmission token to contact Luo Feng.

"Luo He brother," Mo Li Meng directly inquired, "Did you kill the Yu Tianhu siblings?"

"It was me," Luo Feng replied. "Does your City Lord's Mansion have any plans?"

Mo Li Meng's heart skipped a beat.

So it really was Luo He! His father, Mo Li Xiao, led the army and, even with the help of Huyang City's grand formation, only had the upper hand against Yu Tianhu but couldn't kill him.

Yet, this Luo He God, all by himself, silently killed the Yu Tianhu siblings! Such power, truly terrifying!

"Do you intend to kill Blood Cloud?" Mo Li Meng asked.

"I've been searching the city for him, but I haven't been able to find him," Luo Feng replied. "Do you have any way to locate him?"

"I'll need to report this to the City Lord's Mansion. Wait for my news," Mo Li Meng didn't dare to say too much. The only way to locate Blood Cloud was through the Causality Tracking Token, and he didn't have the authority to give it directly to Luo Feng.

"What I need most right now is Blood Cloud's location," Luo Feng responded.

"As soon as I have news, I'll inform you immediately," Mo Li Meng grew even more respectful. General Yong, even with the help of Huyang City's grand formation, couldn't catch Blood Cloud, yet this Luo He dared to pursue him?

The mere thought made Mo Li Meng's heart tremble.

Ahead.

Luo Feng piloted the vessel, and his conversation with Mo Li Meng gave him a glimmer of hope.

"Perhaps the City Lord's Mansion has a way," Luo Feng thought, but he didn't fully rely on Mo Li Meng. He gazed ahead.

"Master, President Zan Yun is in that cave mansion ahead. I can lock onto his aura," Morosa confirmed with certainty.

"Good," Luo Feng nodded slightly.

This ordinary cave mansion ahead was a secret hideout that President Zan Yun had never revealed publicly. As soon as he learned that Yu Tianhu and Yu Tianyi were dead, he immediately hid here.

At this moment, he was extremely tense.

"You don't know either? You're members of the Five Great Families, and you don't know who killed Yu Tianhu and Yu Tianyi?" President Zan Yun urgently transmitted, "When you gave me tasks before, I never refused, no matter how dirty the work was. Now, you must help me!"

But the other side abruptly cut off the transmission.

"I knew these Five Great Families were useless in critical moments," President Zan Yun was extremely nervous. "Who exactly killed Yu Tianhu and Yu Tianyi? Could it involve me?"

"Blood Cloud has also cut off communication, not contacting me at all."

"When disaster strikes, everyone flees on their own! When dawn comes, countless practitioners will enter and leave the city. I'll seize the chance to sneak out," President Zan Yun thought to himself, feeling increasingly panicked, sensing that something was terribly wrong this time.

Boom!

President Zan Yun looked up in terror, only to see the surging chaotic energy tearing apart the small building he was in, even shredding the protective array. The chaotic energy engulfed him entirely.

"Not good, it's Luo He God," President Zan Yun felt a chill in his heart. "It seems that Luo He was the one who killed Yu Tianhu and Yu Tianyi."

President Zan Yun couldn't resist at all and was swept up by the chaotic energy, flying through the air. He saw a vessel descending from the night sky, from which Luo Feng and Morosa emerged.

Behind Luo Feng, six golden wings spread out, controlling the chaos.

"Luo He God, you're here?" President Zan Yun, bound and constrained, tried to curry favor. "If you need anything, just give the order. There's no need to come in person."

"I'll ask you, where is Blood Cloud?" Luo Feng asked.

President Zan Yun hurriedly shook his head and said, "I haven't been in contact with him."

"The Shi Kingdom's forces in Huyang City operate both openly and covertly. You, President Zan Yun, manage the surface operations, but Blood Cloud controls things from the shadows," Luo Feng looked at him. "This is an open secret in Huyang City, so denying it to me is pointless."

"Yes, I serve the Lord," President Zan Yun replied straightforwardly. "But I've been in Huyang City for so long, and I've never met Blood Cloud. It was only when Shang Tianyan exposed his identity that I knew he was Sang Shuiyun. He's always been wary of me, and now he's cut off communication entirely. I truly can't reach him."

"Then you're useless to me," Luo Feng shook his head.

"No—" President Zan Yun wanted to argue, but the chaotic energy instantly penetrated his divine body, shattering his true god's heart.

At the moment of his death, President Zan Yun deeply regretted his actions.

He had known all along that taking on this task and coming to an enemy nation's large city in the Yuguo Kingdom was dangerous. But for the sake of merit, for the resources granted by the Lord, he still came.

He had always been cautious, even secretly befriending some members of the Five Great Families, just to avoid being killed.

The Five Great Families had indeed tolerated him, knowing that even if they killed President Zan Yun, someone else would just take over his intelligence work.

But this time, he ultimately met his end.

Because nearly a billion lives were affected, and because of his friend Shang Tianyan, Luo Feng was filled with a murderous intent and easily crushed him.

"Huff." Luo Feng waved his hand, collecting his body.

"Master, what should we do now? Blood Cloud is too cautious and careful; we can't find his tracks," Morosa said. Both he and Luo Feng had the ability to kill Blood Cloud.

But the only problem was how to find him.

"The Shi Kingdom's leaders in the city, including Yu Tianhu, Yu Tianyi, and President Zan Yun, who was in charge of intelligence, have all lost contact with him," Luo Feng shook his head. "Now we can only hope that the City Lord's Mansion has some good news. Otherwise, killing Blood Cloud… won't be something that can be resolved quickly."

Within the City Lord's Mansion.

Huyang City Lord, Mo Li Xiao the commander, the white-haired elder, General Yong, and Mo Li Meng all gathered together.

"The one who killed Yu Tianhu and Yu Tianyi was Luo He?" General Yong exclaimed in astonishment. "Even I, without using Huyang City's grand formation, wouldn't dare say I could definitely kill the Yu Tianhu siblings."

"And now he's still tracking Blood Cloud," Mo Li Xiao said. "Even knowing Blood Cloud's strength, he dares to continue pursuing him, showing his confidence."

"Outside the city, I can't do anything to Blood Cloud. But he dares to go after him… Is he arrogant, or is he really stronger than me?" General Yong felt conflicted, as he was also very confident and proud.

After all, he had walked the path of laws, perfected the infinite divine body, and received instruction from a Divine King. Now, he had even comprehended chaotic-level techniques. His talent was evident.

Within the entire Yuguo Kingdom, there were very few eternal true gods stronger than him.

"Having already killed the Yu Tianhu siblings, it's probably not arrogance," the white-haired elder remarked.

"No wonder he didn't take your City Lord's Mansion seriously before," General Yong laughed. "With his true strength, even if you mobilized all ten military corps and used Huyang City's grand formation, you still couldn't threaten him."

Huyang City Lord added, "When Ying Cang tried to assassinate him and died instead, we knew we couldn't afford to provoke him."

"Mo Li Meng, quickly contact Luo He," General Yong urged. "It's just one causality tracking token. You couldn't invite such a powerful being even if you tried. Now that he's acting on his own, seize the opportunity!"

"Contact him," Mo Li Xiao ordered.

They didn't hesitate. Luo He had already killed the Yu Tianhu siblings and was completely trustworthy.

"Understood," Mo Li Meng nodded.

"Luo He brother, our City Lord's Mansion has a causality tracking token left behind by Shang Tianyan. It can be used to lock onto Blood Cloud's location," Mo Li Meng contacted Luo Feng. "Should I bring it to your cave mansion?"

"I'm heading to the City Lord's Mansion now. Let's meet at the entrance," Luo Feng, piloting the vessel with Morosa, replied as they headed towards the City Lord's Mansion.

At the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion.

An invisible field spread out, making it impossible for ordinary practitioners to see clearly. Five figures stood there: Huyang City Lord, Mo Li Xiao, the white-haired elder, General Yong, and Mo Li Meng, all waiting for Luo Feng's arrival.

"I've never met this Luo He God before," General Yong was quite curious about him.

"Luo He God is quite merciful. He only strikes hard when provoked," Mo Li Meng said.

"Such strength and still merciful, that's rare," General Yong praised.

Suddenly—

A vessel descended from the night sky, and Luo Feng, along with Morosa, flew out, with Luo Feng storing the vessel.

"Luo He brother, this is General Yong," Mo Li Meng introduced.

Luo Feng knew the others present but hadn't met General Yong before.

"I hear that Luo He God intends to hunt down Blood Cloud?" General Yong asked with a smile. "Are you confident?"

"Seventy percent sure," Luo Feng replied.

Upon hearing this, all five of them were secretly shocked. To claim seventy percent confidence without even having fought yet? Such confidence!

"Do you need my help?" General Yong asked.

"No, I'm used to acting alone," Luo Feng replied.

"Admirable," General Yong looked at Luo Feng with approval. "I never expected our Yuguo Kingdom to have such a strong individual as Luo He God. After this matter, I'm sure the Five Divine Kings will send people to invite Luo He God."

Even if he doesn't become a chaotic ruler, he'll still be a great general.

"Do you have the causality tracking token?" Luo Feng didn't want to chat too much.

"This was left by Shang Tianyan for the City Lord's Mansion, hoping that we could send enough powerful forces to hunt down Blood Cloud," Mo Li Xiao explained. "With the causality tracking token, we can lock onto Blood Cloud's position at any time."

"If you manage to kill Blood Cloud, that's fine. But if you fail, please return the causality tracking token," Huyang City Lord said as he handed a strange token to Luo Feng.

"Don't worry," Luo Feng accepted it.

He claimed seventy percent confidence to avoid being too shocking.

With him and Morosa working together, and with the "Lie Yuan Technique" at his disposal, if Blood Cloud still managed to escape, it would be a disgrace.

"Hmm," Luo Feng channeled his divine power into the causality tracking token, and immediately sensed a location far outside the city. That was where the target was.

"As expected, he's outside the city," Luo Feng looked at the five of them. "Gentlemen, I'll go after Blood Cloud now. Farewell."

"Please," Huyang City Lord and the others watched as Luo Feng and Morosa quickly disappeared into the night sky aboard their vessel.

"Do you think Luo He will succeed?" Huyang City Lord asked.

"I think the chances are high," General Yong replied. "Did you notice? Even when hunting down Blood Cloud, Luo He still brought his servant along."

"That's right, his servant is just a Void True God and should be a burden. Why bring him along?" Mo Li Meng was surprised.

General Yong nodded. "I've heard that some major forces on Origin Continent, when training elites, often send a protector to ensure their safety. This Luo He God, with his servant, a mysterious origin, and such great strength, might come from a major force."

Huyang City Lord, Mo Li Xiao, and the other two were all shocked.

"Of course, this is just my guess. Whether right or wrong, you must not speak of it outside and disrupt this being's journey of cultivation," General Yong warned.

"We understand," the four of them agreed.

Right or wrong, Luo He God's strength was enough to make them tremble in fear.

"Huff."

In the dark night, a vessel flew out from Huyang City's eastern gate.

Luo Feng looked towards the northeast, using the causality tracking token to lock onto the target's location.

"Shang, I didn't expect that in the end, we'd be working together again to hunt down Blood Cloud," Luo Feng looked at the causality tracking token in his hand, then piloted the vessel, cutting through the void, heading northeast.
