As the central city within a radius of tens of millions of kilometers, this main city, Yan Gang City, had walls nearly three hundred meters high, stretching endlessly like an infinite black mountain range. The gates of Yan Gang City were nearly a hundred meters wide and two hundred meters tall. A group of fierce soldiers wearing scale armor were collecting entrance fees at the gate.
“Hurry up and pay!”
“You think you can get in without money? Are you looking for death!” These fierce soldiers wielded large cleavers or waved axes, shouting and roaring from time to time.
Luo Feng glanced at them and sighed inwardly. The natives of the Blood-Net World were indeed strong. Even these gate guards were all at least fifth level of the Stellar Stage. If they were on Earth in the past, each of them would be considered a god of demons. But in the Blood-Net World, they were merely ordinary soldiers.
“Master Nake is back.”
“Make way, quickly! Let Master Nake and his party through!” The fierce soldiers were brimming with enthusiasm, allowing Nake’s group to pass without collecting the entrance fee. Yet, Uncle Lei still grinned and tossed out a black blade coin: “For the brothers to share a drink.” The lead soldier caught it deftly, his fervor growing even warmer.
Wine, whether brewed from fruits or grains, could be called wine among the countless “drinks” in the universe.
“I wonder what the wine in the Blood-Net World tastes like,” Luo Feng mused with a smile.
After entering the city.
Nake said enthusiastically, “Big brother Feng, I know this city like the back of my hand. Why don’t you stay at my place? Later, I can give you a grand tour. Though the capital is vast, there’s not a single corner I haven’t explored.”
“Indeed, Lord Feng,” Uncle Lei beside him also beamed with joy. The group of guards behind him gazed at Luo Feng with admiration, though none dared to utter a word.
To instantly kill thirteen axes…
What kind of person was that?
Looking across Yan Gang Domain, there were indeed many forces capable of defeating the thirteen axes. However, if it was a single person who instantly killed them, such a super expert was extremely rare.
“No need, let’s part ways here,” Luo Feng said.
Before this, he had reviewed some information about the Blood-Net Crystals.
He already had a plan on how to complete the cultivation mission. Luo Feng also didn’t want to get too involved with the Nakas. After all, if he stayed at the Naka residence… there would probably be a lot of troublesome affairs.
“Part ways?” Naka was stunned, and the anxious expression on Uncle Lei’s face also appeared slightly, thinking inwardly: “Such a super expert is just leaving like this?”
Naka nodded slightly and looked at Luo Feng: “Big brother Feng, if I want to see you in the city, will I be able to?”
Luo Feng looked at the silver-armored youth in front of him and smiled: “Where is the best place to stay in Yan Gang City?”
“The Feiyun Pavilion,” the silver-armored youth replied.
“Alright, if you want to find me, go to the Feiyun Pavilion,” Luo Feng said with a smile.
“Okay,” Naka nodded repeatedly.
Then Luo Feng turned and walked down the street that seemed endless, his figure blurring, and in an instant, he was already far away. Naka, Uncle Lei, and the group of guards watched the mysterious expert in black battle armor, carrying a battle knife and shield, walking away in the distance. Uncle Lei whispered excitedly: “This is the strongest expert I’ve ever met up close.”
“Yeah,” Naka also nodded.
“Come on, young master, let’s go back,” the tall and strong Uncle Lei said softly, “We should tell the master about this peak expert. Especially the matter with the You family, we should also report it. I feel it’s not a small matter.”
“Alright, let’s go back.”
Naka led the guards quickly back home. The Yan Gang City was indeed too large, spanning thousands of kilometers in diameter. It took Naka and his group nearly an hour to return home.
The Nakas were a merchant family with a certain status in Yan Gang City. Because the Yan Gang Domain covered tens of millions of kilometers in diameter, while the Earth’s diameter was only over ten thousand kilometers. Such a vast area resulted in an innumerable population in the Yan Gang Domain, with various family forces as numerous as fish in the sea.
The Nakas and the You families were considered middle-tier families. The organization like the Thirteen Axes was considered upper-tier.
Inside the Naka estate.
The man wearing a black luxurious robe and with silver-white hair had his expression instantly freeze as he listened in shock to the description from his son Naka and Uncle Lei.
“He was extremely powerful, father. You should have seen it… The leader of the Thirteen Axes killed You Yanta like slaughtering livestock, with just one axe strike. But the Thirteen Axes had no chance to retaliate against Big Brother Feng. We only saw thirteen figures and thirteen flashes of blades. The Thirteen Axes couldn’t even respond and were all killed.”
“That’s right, Master. What the young master said is all true.”
“How… How is that possible?”
The middle-aged man with silver hair, Na Bu, finally calmed down after a moment.
He was a very meticulous person who had built the Naka family’s fortune.
“This is an expert, a super expert,” Na Bu solemnly looked at his son, “Where is he now?”
“After entering the city, he parted ways with us. He didn’t accept my invitation to come to our home, but he said that if I wanted to see him, I could go to the Feiyun Pavilion.” Naka quickly replied, his eyes shining, “Father, let’s go to the Feiyun Pavilion.”
“No!”
Na Bu frowned and whispered, “This super expert left us on his own after entering the city, obviously not wanting to get too involved with us! You… you need to describe in detail the entire situation from your encounter with him until you parted ways.”
“Yes.” Naka immediately began describing.
The more he listened, the more relaxed Na Bu’s expression became, and finally, he smiled.
“Father?” Naka looked at his father.
“Haha, Keke, you’re lucky,” Na Bu laughed, “From your description, this mysterious expert ‘Feng’ doesn’t like to kill easily. He wouldn’t kill unless necessary. Also, he doesn’t like to get too involved with others, but he probably has a good impression of you. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have agreed to let you see him.”
Naka excitedly said, “Then now… shall we go?”
“No,” Na Bu shook his head, “You just parted ways, and if you go now, even if he meets you, he will be unhappy. Don’t rush. We’ll go tomorrow to visit this expert ‘Feng’. Alright, Lei Dong, accompany the young master back.”
“Yes.”
The tall and strong Uncle Lei took Naka away. Only Na Bu remained in the room. With his silver hair, his sharp eyes glimmered like a fox’s, as he murmured, “Feng? The You family? What exactly did the You family do to provoke the Thirteen Axes’ ambush…”
…
Within Yan Gang City.
Luo Feng didn’t rush to find accommodation but first wandered around the city, casually eating and drinking in various places, listening to the conversations of nearby diners, thereby learning more about the affairs within Yan Gang City.
There were no sun or moon on the Blood-Net Continent.
However, due to the movement of its eighteen cloud layers, different regions of the Blood-Net Continent alternated between brightness and darkness. One cycle of brightness and darkness constituted a day on the Blood-Net Continent, which was approximately seven Earth days.
…
At Feiyun Pavilion in Yan Gang City, the most luxurious accommodation establishment, covering a diameter of over ten kilometers (much larger than some county towns on Earth), with beautiful scenery inside. The highest capacity was nearly 500,000 guests. Visitors came continuously every day, making the business thrive due to the large influx of people from the Yan Gang Domain.
The reception hall of Feiyun Pavilion had hundreds of reception staff.
“Accommodation,” Luo Feng said to a small girl wearing black fur inside.
“We have Earth-level, Heaven-level, and Cloud-level accommodations. Which level would you like to stay in? As for the prices, they are listed on the wall over there,” the girl in fur smiled.
“Cloud-level,” Luo Feng said indifferently.
“Room 892 Cloud-level. The daily accommodation fee is three large coins,” the girl inside smiled.
Luo Feng casually took out a purple blade coin and threw it on the table. Immediately, the girl picked it up and began to process Luo Feng’s registration. The currency in the Blood-Net World was all in the shape of blade coins, divided into small blade coins (red, abbreviated as small money), medium blade coins (black, abbreviated as medium money), large blade coins (green, abbreviated as large money), and above them, the most valuable purple blade coins (abbreviated as treasure money).
One medium money was worth 1,000 small money.
One large money was worth 1,000 medium money.
One treasure money was worth 1,000 large money.
In this most luxurious Feiyun Pavilion, the most luxurious accommodation room, the Cloud-level, cost three large coins per day, equivalent to 3,000,000 small money. It was a place that only a few could afford. However, Luo Feng had killed the Thirteen Axes and obtained all their wealth, which was much more than the combined assets of the Naka and You families. Therefore, the cost of accommodation was not something he cared about.
“This way, my lord.”
A handsome young man dressed as a servant respectfully led the way. Before Luo Feng appeared a three-story pavilion with a garden and pond, quiet and secluded. On the stone tablet outside the pavilion’s courtyard were the words ‘Cloud, 892’.
“Good,” Luo Feng carefully examined the place, nodded in satisfaction, and then sat on a chair in the living room, looking at the servant before him.
“Is there anything my lord requires? Please do not hesitate to ask. During your stay at our Feiyun Pavilion, I shall be at your service,” the young attendant spoke with reverence.
“This is my first time in your Yan Gang City. Tell me about the special places and the important figures here,” Luo Feng casually took out a jade-green crystal blade coin, “If you speak clearly and satisfy me, I will reward you.”
Upon seeing the jade-green blade coin, the servant’s eyes immediately lit up. He said excitedly, “I’ve lived in Yan Gang City for over two hundred years and worked at Feiyun Pavilion for nearly a hundred. I’ve heard a lot.” The servant immediately began to talk enthusiastically, recounting every slightly famous place in the entire Yan Gang City.
He spoke continuously for over two hours without even pausing to take a sip of water.
“Hmm,” Luo Feng nodded as he listened.
“You’ve done well,” Luo Feng said in a voice that seemed to have a magical effect, causing the servant’s eyes to gradually become dazed, “This is my reward for you. You may leave now.”
The jade-green blade coin flew and landed in the servant’s hand. As he regained his senses, his mind had completely forgotten Luo Feng’s previous inquiries… After all, Luo Feng could even cast the ‘Enslaved Soul Seal’. Now, manipulating a small Stellar Stage being with a simple hypnotic technique was too easy.
“Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord,” the servant exclaimed excitedly as he took the blade coin and hurried away.
“Hmm.”
Luo Feng closed his eyes, and the servant’s previous description appeared in his mind, making his understanding of the entire Yan Gang City even clearer.
“The Chunyu Family? It seems… if there is Blood-Net Crystal, the Chunyu Family is most likely to have it,” Luo Feng murmured.
