“With rumors of my downfall, they’ve started to test me,” Luo Feng sighed. “This is what they call ‘the tea gets cold when a person leaves.'”
“Your family relies solely on you; once you fall, your family’s strength will naturally diminish greatly,” Zhenyan sipped from his wine cup and shook his head in lament. “My Kamsi clan also depends on me. Even if I’m still alive, because I don’t get involved much in the affairs of the ape people, my clan gets bullied… Unless we give those guys a harsh lesson, they will harbor侥幸psychology and dare to bully you.”
Luo Feng nodded. “Teacher Chaos also said that I should attempt the Primordial Sky Mountain at the Monarch level afterward to display my strength and intimidate all powerful experts.”
“What Chaos said makes sense,” Zhenyan nodded, then asked in pleasant surprise, “Can you really attempt the Primordial Sky Mountain at the Monarch level?”
“More or less,” Luo Feng nodded.
“That requires a twenty-layer comprehension of the laws,” Zhenyan quickly added.
Luo Feng grinned widely.
“Haha, good kid,” Zhenyan couldn’t help exclaiming. “How long have you been training, and you’ve already caught up with your third senior apprentice brother?”
“Well, I’m a genius,” Luo Feng replied shamelessly with a grin.
“Haha, when we get to Chaos City, you must buy me some good wine,” Zhenyan said excitedly.
“Of course,” Luo Feng replied generously.
“Attempting the Sky Mountain brings a reward of one thousand billion points. A little food and drink from you won’t be a big deal,” Zhenyan laughed heartily.
Though chatting and drinking happily with his teacher, Luo Feng was thinking about King Jianta and how to deal with him. As for attempting the Sky Mountain, Luo Feng wasn’t in a hurry. He would wait until after resolving matters at the battlefield beyond the territory before attempting it.
As for King Jianta…
He needed to be dealt with quickly!
Although Jianta had been quite restrained this time, without any killings or major offenses, this was a ‘beginning,’ the beginning of someone daring to bully the Luo family! At the first sign of such a trend, it must be decisively eliminated, making other families understand… the dire consequences of daring to provoke the Luo family!
…
Luo Feng was happily chatting and drinking with his teacher. Only those with similar strength and status could be this casual with each other. With Teacher Chaos or Master Shanke, Luo Feng couldn’t have such unrestrained conversations. Neither Chaos, the City Lord, nor ‘Master Shanke,’ one of the strongest beings in the universe, could be so informal with Luo Feng.
” Luo Feng, you’ve got an email,” Babata, perched on his shoulder, reminded him. “It’s from King Jianta.”
“Finally, an email from him,” Luo Feng’s eyes sharpened.
Previously, his son Luo Ping and his wife Xu Xin had both said… that there were rumors that King Jianta had tried to contact him, but he had never received any email from Jianta.
Luo Feng lightly tapped a screen, and the email appeared.
Opposite him, Zhenyan, holding his wine cup, asked, “What does King Jianta say?”
“He says,” Luo Feng smiled, “that he will personally visit my Nine-Star Bay Mansion to apologize.”
“It seems like he’s putting on a humble posture,” Zhenyan sneered. “Looks like he knows this concerns his life.” On the battlefield beyond the territory, soldiers from the same camp were forbidden from killing each other. However, within the human race, there was no such military system restriction. It was common for powerful humans to kill each other in feuds, and the human leaders rarely interfered.
The attitude of the human leaders was very simple.
Internal fighting was fine, but if an alien infiltrated and killed humans, that would cause an uproar. As for powerful humans going to the battlefield beyond the territory to fight aliens, they were required to be absolutely united.
“Just a humble posture won’t do,” Luo Feng picked up his wine cup. “Teacher, I’ll finish this bottle with you before going to see King Jianta.”
“Right, let’s let him wait a bit,” Zhenyan also raised his wine cup.
Clang.
Their cups touched. The master and apprentice talked about many things. After a long while, the bottle was finished, and Luo Feng finally left.
…
In the virtual universe, on Heilong Mountain Island, in Nine-Star Bay.
“The head of the family is temporarily unavailable. King Jianta, you can come back another time or wait here.”
“I’m not in a hurry. I can wait patiently.”
“Then I’ll take my leave.”
Inside one of the tea pavilions designated for guest rest at the Luo family estate, a tall figure over eight meters high sat. He was clad in gleaming golden battle armor and had an elephant-like nose.
The Luo family had different levels for receiving guests.
This tea pavilion was merely a resting place for ordinary guests. Making a King-level immortal wait here was considered an insult.
“It seems Luo Feng holds a great grudge against me,” Jianta sniffed with his elephant-like nose, his eyes filled with worry. “Without his secret instructions, would the ordinary people of the Luo family dare to treat an immortal so disrespectfully? Let alone the fact that I am a King-level immortal! No one is attending to me, only a servant led me here. Look at this place, it’s very ordinary, and even the tea is cold.”
“I’ll wait.”
“Just wait for Luo Feng to show up.” Jianta picked up the already cooled tea and drank it leisurely, seemingly unfazed by the indignity.
…
Meanwhile, within the Luo family estate in Nine-Star Bay, the family’s senior members had gathered together.
“King Jianta came? He was arranged to wait in the cold tea pavilion?” Gong Xinlan couldn’t help but worry. “He is, after all, a King-level immortal; we shouldn’t treat him this disrespectfully.”
“Mom,” Xu Xin smiled. “It’s fine. This was Luo Feng’s personal instruction.”
“Oh, I don’t quite understand,” Gong Xinlan nodded and sighed. “I just feel that a King-level immortal is a big figure. In our Qianwu Cosmic Nation, even the Qianwu Sovereign doesn’t have a King-level immortal under his command.”
“King Jianta was arranged to wait in the cold tea pavilion, and he didn’t even make a fuss,” Luo Ping laughed.
“That’s because…”
A voice rang out as someone walked in from the doorway—Luo Feng himself. “He doesn’t want to die!”
“Dad,” Luo Ping and Luo Hai stood up immediately.
“You’re back,” Xu Xin also walked over.
“Brother,” Luo Hua greeted with a smile.
Luo Feng nodded and looked at his parents: “Dad, Mom.”
“Good to have you back,” Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan both nodded.
“I’m going to deal with that King Jianta. We’ll have a family reunion dinner later,” Luo Feng said. After gaining such a long lifespan, the Mid-Autumn Festival of the ancient Chinese nation on Earth had become less celebrated. Since Luo Feng often trained for years or even decades at a time, and this time it had been over 6,000 years, his return was a reunion for the Luo family.
“Go ahead.”
“Go ahead.”
The family said, after all, facing a King-level immortal, even the invisible pressure alone would make them, ordinary people (unless they had extraordinary willpower and consciousness, those below the immortal level were indeed considered ordinary), feel a sense of submission. As for Luo Feng, he was the leader of the Earthlings, whose willpower surpassed many Cosmic Venerables, having endured the trials of life and death inheritance.
…
The cold tea pavilion had an unappealing surrounding scenery, with wind blowing and the tea already cold, no servants attending.
King Jianta sat there, waiting patiently.
At that moment, a figure approached from a distance, causing Jianta to lift his head. Upon seeing Luo Feng, Jianta’s face immediately broke into a smile as he stood up and went to the entrance of the tea pavilion to greet him. When Luo Feng drew near, Jianta bowed deeply: “Prince Luo Feng, this time it was indeed a disgrace to my family. I have come to apologize.”
“Apologize?” Luo Feng glanced at him. On the battlefield beyond the territory, someone like King Jianta would be as easy to kill as a dog to Luo Feng, who could take down such foes with a single move.
Back then, he had even had a Limit King-level immortal as a servant, and now his strength was even greater. Luo Feng’s standards had risen further. Even the Seven-Sword King or Tower Dragon King, renowned as supreme experts across countless races, didn’t intimidate him in the least. What was this little King Jianta? Just what insignificant chive was he?
King Jianta hurriedly said, “Prince Luo Feng, I have personally come to apologize, but there is one thing I must clarify.”
“Speak,” Luo Feng had already sat down on a stone bench.
“You must understand, Prince, that I founded my family long ago, and I have focused solely on cultivation, never involving myself in family affairs,” King Jianta quickly explained. “In any family, there are usually managers handling daily matters. The founders of families are all focused on cultivation and rarely deal with trivialities.”
“The current manager of my family is my seventh-generation descendant, a common immortal with considerable strength and management skills,” King Jianta continued. “When conflicts arose between my family and yours, and the tensions escalated… the negotiation team sent out was arranged by my seventh-generation descendant.”
“He concealed everything from me,” King Jianta shook his head in lament. “This time, when your message was sent, causing chaos in my family, one of my descendants finally dared to email me, asking how to resolve the issue. That’s when I found out… that we had provoked your family! I was shocked. How could that bastard dare to provoke your family? Did he want to destroy my family?”
“I used divine country teleportation to return home. When I saw my seventh-generation descendant, he gave me a strange smile and then self-destructed,” King Jianta said.
Luo Feng sat silently listening.
“Finished?” Luo Feng looked at him.
“Prince, I admit my fault in managing my family poorly, but… this matter was not orchestrated by me,” King Jianta hurriedly said.
“You’re innocent?” Luo Feng stared at him.
“I am guilty, but this matter was indeed not my doing,” King Jianta insisted. “I also know that many alien races are investigating your whereabouts. How dare I, a mere King Jianta, get involved? Even if those alien races have spies among us humans, they probably wouldn’t risk using them. Instead, they might control a common immortal within my Ros family, using my family’s power to test your family. That would be a smaller price for them to pay.”
“But regardless, I am guilty.”
“I have come to apologize,” King Jianta flipped his hand and took out a list, placing it respectfully on the stone table.
Luo Feng glanced at it.
The list included various forms of apology and compensation, clearly showing a humble attitude.
“Hmph.”
Luo Feng coldly snorted at King Jianta. “Finished?”
King Jianta was taken aback and quickly said, “Please, Prince, speak.”
“I don’t care what’s really going on within your Ros family; it’s none of my business,” Luo Feng coldly stared at him. “All I know is that your Ros family has provoked me. Don’t blame me for not giving you a chance to live. The laws of the universe always provide a bit of hope for survival, so I’ll give you a chance too. Agree to this… and you can keep your life!”
With cold indifference, Luo Feng casually tossed something.
He also threw out a list he had prepared in advance. Upon hearing Luo Feng’s words, King Jianta’s face turned pale. When his eyes scanned the list… he was so shocked his eyes nearly popped out.
