Chapter 779: Crime of Betraying the Clan

“Lo, Luo Feng, it’s Luo Feng! He is Luo Feng!” Nolanshan’s head buzzed, his mind completely thrown into chaos.

More than four thousand years ago, he had known that staying in the Heilongshan Empire might cost him his life. Given Luo Feng’s rate of progress, if he, Nolanshan, remained within human territory, the gap between them would only widen. After all, he had once received the title of Cosmic Axe Warrior, and deep in his bones, he was a madman. So he gritted his teeth and came to the battlefield beyond the domain, seeking a chance to fight back.

On the journey from the Heilongshan Empire to the battlefield beyond the domain, he had encountered danger twice.

On the battlefield beyond the domain, he had faced life-and-death situations repeatedly. Soon after arriving, he had crossed into Domain Lord level, but at Domain Lord Stage 1, he was practically cannon fodder on the battlefield beyond the domain. He struggled continuously…

The result of countless life-and-death adventures was that he eventually reached World Lord level!

Why had he fought so hard all these years?

It was simply because of his fear of Luo Feng, so he constantly strengthened himself.

But now—

Luo Feng had suddenly appeared before him, in the form of directly killing a ‘Deathless General Peak’ expert.

“How could he be so strong? How could he be this strong? More than four thousand years ago, he had only just participated in the Genius War, and at that time, he was merely Stellar King Stage 9. Only four thousand years have passed, and now he is already World Lord Peak? Even if he is World Lord Peak, why can he directly kill a Deathless General?”

“Finished.”

“Finished.” Nolanshan’s mind was in chaos; he felt he had no resistance at all.

The two Deathless Generals of this human army, Shufan and Boyechu, introduced themselves.

Luo Feng nodded with a smile, “My name is Yang.”

“Yang?” Shufan and Boyechu both remembered this name.

“Mm.” Luo Feng nodded.

Deep down, Luo Feng instinctively categorized many people by closeness of relationship. Those who were close, such as ‘Taiwo,’ ‘Poison,’ and ‘Charmress,’ were comrades who had shared life-and-death experiences and treated each other sincerely. He told them he was called ‘Madman,’ mainly because of the need for secrecy. In fact, ‘Madman’ had been Luo Feng’s nickname since his Earth days.

This nickname was quite common; out of ten soldiers, probably one might have such a nickname. Luo Feng was not worried about revealing his identity.

As for Shufan, Boyechu, and others… destined to be only passing acquaintances with occasional friendly interactions, remembering a code name was enough. Since he had grown up in the city of Yangzhou, one of the eight guardian cities of the Jiangnan Base City, his code name would be ‘Yang.’

“Yang, the battle just now made a lot of noise. I’m afraid some alien experts will come soon. We should leave quickly,” Shufan said.

“Come with us,” Boyechu said.

Luo Feng nodded, “Alright.”

“Hahaha…” Boyechu and Shufan burst into laughter instantly. What a joke! To be able to rip apart a Deathless General Peak demonic immortal in a head-on clash while only at World Lord Peak meant their comprehension of the laws was at least on par with a Marquis Peak immortal. Someone like this… was practically destined to ascend as a Deathless God in the future, perhaps even a King-tier existence.

To have a relationship with such a being, how fortunate was that.

“Form up.” Boyechu issued a mental command, simultaneously waving his hand to summon a large silver flying saucer, about three hundred meters in diameter. With a swish, the belly of the saucer split open, revealing a large passage.

“Form up!”

“Form up!” Other World Lord Peak experts shouted orders to the other warriors, “Quickly board the spaceship and leave immediately.”

“Yes.”

The Cosmic, Domain Lord, and World Lord warriors, filled with excitement, flew in from all directions, rushing toward the large passage in the belly of the spaceship high above.

“Brother Five, what are you thinking? Are you stunned?” A stout World Lord with a face full of fur pulled Nolanshan, “Quickly get on the spaceship.”

“Oh.” Nolanshan snapped out of his daze and couldn’t help but glance toward the distance.

Luo Feng, standing far away, seemed to sense something and looked in this direction. Their eyes met, and Nolanshan felt as if he was once again engulfed by the pressure of the Beast God illusion, his heart involuntarily trembling.

“Come on.” Nolanshan quickly followed the others toward the spaceship.

This flying saucer-shaped spaceship, three hundred meters in diameter, had three large compartments stacked vertically in its belly, each two hundred meters in diameter, easily accommodating nearly twenty thousand human cosmic warriors. Among them, Nolanshan was leading his team of cosmic warriors in the middle compartment.

He sat in a corner, slightly lowering his head.

“Calm down, I must calm down.” Nolanshan roared inwardly. He had to admit that today Luo Feng’s appearance had shattered the long-suppressed desire in his heart over four thousand years. He had struggled between life and death for four thousand years just to fearlessly face Luo Feng, just to be able to threaten and retaliate against him.

“Huff.”

“Huff.”

“Huff.” Nolanshan breathed, sweat pouring from his forehead, finally gradually calming down and regaining his senses.

“Four thousand years, and Luo Feng has reached this level, with such astonishing combat power. He must be highly valued by the Virtual Universe Company now,” Nolanshan thought inwardly. Given his status, he naturally had no way of knowing Luo Feng’s information within the Virtual Universe Company.

“So!”

“My chance of revenge on him is zero!” Nolanshan muttered to himself. “Revenge through alien experts? Impossible. First, the alien experts would kill me on sight as I’m a human. Second, they wouldn’t believe me. Third, colluding with aliens would mean certain death for me. Fourth, even if the aliens know there’s a human prodigy, there are so many human prodigies, why would they specifically go after Luo Feng? Fifth, and most importantly, if I leave the team, Luo Feng will have the opportunity to kill me, and there’s no way to report it.”

Considering all this.

Revenge on Luo Feng through aliens is even less than 0.000000001% probability, infinitely close to zero, and would cost my life.

“I don’t want to sacrifice my life.”

“Right.”

“I have to find a way to survive.” Nolanshan gritted his teeth in thought, suddenly his eyes lit up, “Right, in the military system of the battlefield beyond the domain, there is a rule: comrades and allies must not kill each other. Anyone who kills comrades or allies will be executed for the crime of betraying the race…”

“In other words, as long as I stay in the army, with countless people monitoring the system, Luo Feng won’t dare to kill me.”

“But if I leave the team alone, he probably has plenty of ways. He could easily kill me with a mechanical puppet or something. And if a mechanical puppet kills me… even the monitoring system can’t determine it was Luo Feng.”

“Right.”

“That’s exactly it.”

Nolanshan nodded slightly, his mind firming his decision. He would stay within the army, following the two Deathless Generals! At least Luo Feng couldn’t use small tricks to kill him in the army, and if he made a big move…

It would be easy to determine that Luo Feng was the one who did it, and then Luo Feng would be found guilty of the crime of betraying the race and would naturally be executed.

“I don’t believe he would sacrifice his life to kill me.” Nolanshan smiled.

“Brother Five, that mysterious World Lord just now was really amazing. What a huge background he must have to possess an immortal plant life and such combat power.”

“Hehe, yeah, very impressive.” Nolanshan smiled and nodded.

In the control room of this flying saucer.

Boyechu and Shufan, the two Deathless Generals, were treating Luo Feng to a lavish banquet.

“Yang, if it weren’t for you this time, one of us brothers would probably have perished. We will always remember this life-saving favor. Come, try this. It’s ‘Yehua Wine’ we just exchanged at the military base. Although Yehua Wine isn’t anything expensive, it has its own unique flavor.” Shufan smiled as he raised his wine cup.

Luo Feng also raised his wine cup and took a sip. As the wine entered his throat, it immediately transformed into threads of radiant light. Entering his body, it brought a feeling of comfort throughout his entire being.

“Not bad.” Luo Feng nodded.

“To coincidentally meet you, Yang, at a crucial moment, hahaha, it’s truly our good fortune.” Boyechu laughed heartily.

“Since we are comrades-in-arms, helping when it’s within my capability is only natural.” Luo Feng said.

The reason for his intervention…

Firstly, to help human comrades-in-arms, and more importantly, because of Nolanshan. Luo Feng hated Nolanshan with a passion. Now that he had entered this team… it would be too easy to deal with Nolanshan. Every move of Nolanshan was completely under his detection instrument’s surveillance.

“Just now he was very panicky, but now he seems calm.”

“Hehe, it seems he realized that I can’t do anything to him within the army.”

“Yeah, within this team, I can’t lay a hand on him. Attacking a comrade-in-arms is a serious crime.”

“But—”

“You’re still going to die.” Luo Feng had joined this team with full confidence in his ability to kill Nolanshan without bearing any guilt.

“If you flee from this team and go alone, I have plenty of ways to kill you.”

“If you continue to stay in this team, once we engage in battle with alien experts, amidst the chaos of combat… there will naturally be ways to eliminate you.” Luo Feng thought with absolute ease.

Whether Nolanshan stays in the army or leaves out of fear, it’s still a dead end!

Nolanshan thought he was safe within the army, only because… he didn’t understand that an expert like Luo Feng could kill him in ways that Nolanshan couldn’t even imagine until he was truly facing a life-or-death crisis.

“Shufan, Boyechu.” Luo Feng smiled.

“Please speak.”

The two Deathless Generals said in unison.

Luo Feng smiled, “I want to ask something.”

“Please go ahead.”

The two Deathless Generals said simultaneously.

Luo Feng smiled, “I just arrived at the Yanji Continent, and now this land… should be one of the fragments of the Yanji Continent, right?”

Shufan smiled, “It’s described as Land 09 of the Yanji Continent on the star map. In fact, many humans and countless aliens who have been fighting on the Yanji Continent for countless years have long established some agreed-upon terms. The main continent is naturally called the continent, while these land fragments are called ‘islands.'”

“Islands?” Luo Feng was astonished. A landmass many times larger than the sun was called an island?

“Yes, apart from the main continent, all other land fragments are regarded as islands. We are currently on what is known as ‘Musha Island.'” Shufan smiled. “The main continent is teeming with formidable experts, numerous Marquis-level Deathless Spirits, and even King-tier Deathless Spirits exist. Thus, it is exceedingly perilous. Those who doubt their own strength often opt to seek adventure on the islands. Our Musha Island is one of the larger isles, home to many extraordinary warriors. However, the Deathless Spirits here are nearly all at the rank of Deathless Generals. There are roughly twelve Marquis-level Deathless Spirits on the island—perhaps slightly more. At least twelve have been confirmed. These twelve Marquis Deathless Spirits are undoubtedly the most tyrannical forces on our Musha Island.”
