Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent

In the City Lord’s Mansion, five figures, formed by divine power, sat in a grand hall. They were the leaders of the Five Great Families.

“Magili Meng has already left Luo He’s cave mansion,” said Commander Magili Xiao, who sat there with a purple curved horn resembling a crown and a somewhat aged face. His expression was calm. “Luo He was just assassinated, and he suspects it was our doing. He has also refused the position of ‘Vice Commander of the Huyang Legion’.”

“Sending Magili Meng to explain was already showing respect to Luo He,” the City Lord of Huyang frowned slightly. “Offering him the position of Vice Commander of the Huyang Legion is the highest position we can provide. Higher positions, like City Lord and Commander, are directly appointed by the capital.”

The position offered was the third highest in Huyang City. The Five Great Families had no authority to privately appoint higher positions.

This was their greatest sincerity.

“We gave him a chance to de-escalate, but he refused,” said the white-haired figure, shaking his head gently.

“We took the initiative to back down, and he still refused,” said the figure clad in blood-colored scales, with a cold gleam in his eyes. “Our Five Great Families include two royal families and three great chaotic families. We suppressed the opposing voices within our families and took a step back, yet he still refuses our goodwill.”

As the head of the royal family branch of the Wu Clan in Huyang City, Wu Qu Lou naturally held pride. They were willing to take a step back purely because Luo Feng’s strength was formidable.

The leaders of the Five Great Families were very clear: regardless of their background, they must respect their opponent’s strength.

“We backed down, but Luo He is unwilling to retreat,” said the head of the Mei Wu Clan, with leaves growing on his body, exuding a rich life aura. He said leisurely, “We can see the bigger picture, but many eternal true gods in our Five Great Families can’t swallow this insult.”

Everyone present understood this point.

As the heads of their families’ branches in Huyang City, they were quite outstanding. However, the numerous members under them were quite ordinary, having long been accustomed to a life of luxury over the years, making it harder to tolerate Divine Lord Luo He’s provocation.

The leaders of the Five Great Families had to consider their families’ sentiments.

“We gave him a chance, and he didn’t take it! Then we should spend some effort to eliminate him,” the blood-colored scale figure said indifferently. “Even if we can’t kill him, we should make him hide forever, just like Blood Cloud.”

The leader of the Shiguo faction, ‘Blood Cloud’, had always been in hiding. If he exposed himself, he would immediately be attacked by the Five Great Families.

In Huyang City, the Five Great Families held the geographical advantage, forcing Blood Cloud into hiding.

“Wu, I’ve always said we should hire a strong outsider to eliminate him,” said the head of the Mei Wu Clan, smiling. “The Yuguo territory is vast, filled with powerful beings, some even stronger than Blood Cloud and Divine Lord Luo He.”

“I don’t agree with this,” Commander Magili Xiao said coldly.

“Magili, can you tolerate this?” the blood-colored scale figure sneered. “If you can tolerate it, we of the Wu Clan cannot.”

The Wu Clan, being a divine king family, naturally held different pride.

“Blood Cloud is the leader of the Shiguo faction and our mortal enemy. But Divine Lord Luo He is just a wandering eternal true god, there’s no need to push him to our adversary’s side,” Commander Magili Xiao said calmly. “Even if we hire an outsider, you all know that defeating is easy, but killing is hard. If Divine Lord Luo He escapes an assassination attempt, he’ll hate us even more. Having a major enemy lurking in the shadows is not a good thing.”

“We don’t fear Shiguo, why should we fear Luo He?” the blood-colored scale figure snorted coldly. “City Lord Qumeng, what do you think?”

“We took a step back, and he didn’t respond. For the stability of the Five Great Families, I think we should take action,” said the City Lord of Huyang.

Commander Magili Xiao shook his head lightly.

The white-haired figure also said, “I think we should reconsider.”

“With the City Lord and Wu Clan’s support, this matter is settled,” said the blood-colored scale figure.

“I agree, with the City Lord and Wu agreeing,” the head of the Mei Wu Clan said with a smile. “There’s no need to argue further.”

The City Lord of Huyang came from the royal Qumeng Clan.

The blood-colored scale figure Wu Qu Lou, was the head of the royal Wu Clan branch. The two royal families in Huyang City subtly overshadowed the three great chaotic families, tolerating no provocation.

“I’ll prepare for this matter,” said the head of the Mei Wu Clan, as he also purchased all available intelligence on Divine Lord Luo He from Yan Feng Pavilion. If they were to act, they needed a thorough understanding of their target.

Intelligence changed over time, so the latest information had to be acquired.

“In future troubles, they will just hide,” Commander Magili Xiao felt helpless. With the two royal families deciding and the Mei Wu Clan supporting, he and the Jiang Clan couldn’t stop it.

“Something is strange!” The head of the Mei Wu Clan was puzzled.

The other four leaders looked at him.

“I tried to buy the latest information on Divine Lord Luo He from Yan Feng Pavilion, but it costs 5,000 cosmos sand,” said the head of the Mei Wu Clan seriously, looking at his companions. “Just for one piece of intelligence?”

“When he attacked Qian Yuchong and Mei Wu Qi, I bought his information for only 100 cosmos sand,” said the white-haired figure in shock. “It hasn’t even been a night, and the price has increased so much?”

“All my intelligence is only 500 cosmos sand,” Commander Magili Xiao couldn’t believe it. “Even Blood Cloud’s information is also 500 cosmos sand. But this Luo He… requires 5,000 cosmos sand?”

They knew Yan Feng Pavilion’s pricing system was systematic, set by the Ancient Flame Kingdom, never arbitrary.

“Buy it and see what it is,” instructed the City Lord of Huyang.

They didn’t care about the 5,000 cosmos sand.

They were concerned that such high-priced intelligence made the leaders of the Five Great Families nervous.

“Okay.” The head of the Mei Wu Clan immediately purchased the information.

The head of the Mei Wu Clan couldn’t believe it and said, “The information from Yan Feng Pavilion states that an extremely powerful eternal true god, ‘Ying Cang’, died tonight in Luo He’s cave mansion.”

Yan Feng Pavilion never sold the transaction information of its clients.

However, they could confirm Ying Cang’s death through causal methods.

Any client with a Causal Transmission Order, once dead, could be instantly verified by Yan Feng Pavilion, even locating the position. Without the Causal Transmission Order, they couldn’t pinpoint the location, but with any causal interaction, Yan Feng Pavilion could judge whether the cause existed or not. Existence meant alive; disappearance meant death.

“Ying Cang died in Luo He’s cave mansion?” Everyone present was shocked.

“Ying Cang’s strength is undeniable. He possesses more than one mechanical flow secret treasure and has mastered several chaotic realm moves. His escape abilities are even stronger,” Commander Magili Xiao said. “He killed the child of a Chaos Overlord in Shiguo, infuriating the Chaos Overlord, who sent elite squads to hunt him down. It is said he encountered multiple assassination attempts and survived, eventually escaping to our Yuguo.”

Due to the conflict between Yuguo and Shiguo, the Chaos Overlord’s elite squads couldn’t openly pursue in Yuguo.

The Chaos Overlord had over three hundred children, intending to train and select the best, viewing the others as expendable. This was one reason Ying Cang escaped.

If it had been a Chaos Overlord with only a few children, they would have personally pursued the killer, even inviting friends to help, leaving no escape.

Even so, Ying Cang’s survival significantly boosted his reputation.

“Under the pursuit of the Chaos Overlord’s elite squads, he survived. But he died in Luo He’s cave mansion?” The leaders of the Five Great Families were all alarmed.

Luo Feng sat leisurely in the pavilion atop the mountain, drinking wine. Life was not just about cultivation.

After a great battle, Luo Feng just wanted to relax and reflect on himself.

“Hmm?” Luo Feng looked puzzledly towards the entrance of his cave mansion. “Magili Meng left not long ago, why is he back?”

It was still Magili Meng’s flying boat.

Three figures flew down: Magili Meng, an old man resembling him but thinner, and a three-eyed man with a purple-gold scaled tail.

“Why have Magili Xiao and the City Lord come?” Luo Feng was very surprised.

The Commander and the City Lord were the highest-ranking officials in Huyang City.

“Qingyan, open the door,” Luo Feng ordered from afar.

“Yes.” Moyu Qingyan immediately went to open the main gate. Seeing the three figures outside, he was startled, “Commander Magili Xiao and the City Lord?”

As the only gatekeeper in the cave mansion, Moyu Qingyan had already received information from his master about all the eternal true gods in Huyang City. When such distinguished guests arrived, he could at least recognize them.

“The master allows you to enter,” Moyu Qingyan suppressed his nervousness. When had a mere true god like

him ever interacted with a Commander and City Lord?

“They didn’t come out to greet us, only sent a servant to open the door, showing they are still dissatisfied,” the City Lord of Huyang transmitted to his companion.

“If I had his strength, I’d be even more dissatisfied!” Commander Magili Xiao transmitted back.

The City Lord and the Commander flew together towards the pavilion atop the high mountain, with Magili Meng following behind.

Inside the pavilion.

Luo Feng sat drinking, several wine jugs beside him, indicating he had drunk quite a bit.

“City Lord and Commander coming together, you truly honor me,” Luo Feng said with a faint smile, “Please, sit.”

From beginning to end, Luo Feng didn’t get up.

Recalling their indulgence of Mei Wu Qi’s massacre of billions, Luo Feng had no intention to stand up.

“Divine Lord Luo He,” the City Lord of Huyang sighed, “Mei Wu Qi’s actions were indeed our mistake. As the City Lord, I cannot completely restrain the eternal true gods within the family. Your action this time was good, instilling true fear in them.”

“The Five Great Families should thank Divine Lord Luo He,” Commander Magili Xiao said. “We will tell the Five Great Families that the divine lord’s actions were right. If we find such things happening again, they should continue. This will better deter the eternal true gods of the Five Great Families.”

Luo Feng was very surprised.

The Five Great Families had bowed their heads?

“This is our Five Great Families’ apology gift,” the City Lord of Huyang stepped forward and presented a jade bottle. “These are some auxiliary cultivation items, hoping to resolve the enmity between the divine lord and our Five Great Families.”

Luo Feng scanned it with divine power and was astonished.

Inside the jade bottle was a pale white liquid like a lake, known as ‘Ye Beast Blood’, famous in Yuguo for its excellent effect on understanding chaotic laws.

Just this bottle was worth about a million cosmos sand, Luo Feng estimated.

“Divine Lord Luo He, we are sincere. If any eternal true god in the Five Great Families of Huyang City does this again, the divine lord can deal with them according to Yuguo laws. We will support the divine lord,” Commander Magili Xiao said.

“You two are confusing me,” Luo Feng said. “Not long ago, more than one person told me that the Five Great Families would not let this go.”

Magili Meng felt a bit awkward.

He had said it himself, knowing the Five Great Families well, they would not let it go.

“This world ultimately respects strength,” Commander Magili Xiao said. “Now, Divine Lord Luo He, your complete information in Yan Feng Pavilion costs 5,000 cosmos sand. Our Five Great Families naturally respect your strength.”

Upon realizing his strength.

The leaders of the Five Great Families understood one thing.

In Huyang City, the City Lord’s Mansion and the Shiguo faction represented two extremes, fiercely clashing. There used to be a transcendent force in Huyang City that neither side dared to provoke—Yan Feng Pavilion.

Now, in Huyang City, another entity stood above both sides, besides Yan Feng Pavilion—Divine Lord Luo He.
