Chapter 725: Clan Head Luo Feng

Qianhua Star is a crucial base of the Luo Clan within the Milky Way Galaxy.

Ever since Earth gained attention from the Virtual Universe Company and the Axe Battledome, and especially after the large-scale construction of floating cities on Earth, the Luo Clan had begun to diminish the significance of the ‘Luo Clan Ancestral Mansion.’ The true center of power now lay primarily in the ‘Black Dragon Mountain Island, Nine-Bay Area of the Virtual Universe,’ and Qianhua Star had also become a vital hub of authority.

More than 60,000 Luo Clan members lived here permanently.

…

Within the prison of the Luo Clan’s base on the eastern hemisphere of Qianhua Star, an enormous fortress spanning hundreds of kilometers in diameter, a young and refined Luo Fuxin knelt inside a cell, gripping the bars and crying out desperately, “Grandfather, save me! Please save me!”

The prison cells here varied, including ‘barred cells’ and ‘fully enclosed cells,’ with materials ranging from C9 to E9 grade alloys.

“Hmph, what crime did you commit that even the Clan Head issued orders to capture you!” Luo Hais’ eyes flashed like lightning as he glared angrily at Luo Fuxin.

“Grandfather, I really don’t know! I really don’t know! I’ve always strictly disciplined myself, never daring to cross the bottom line of clan rules,” Luo Fuxin cried out, his heart filled with fear, yet still protesting his innocence. He carefully recalled everything he had done, convinced he had been extremely cautious and careful not to leave any trace.

What he didn’t realize…

The Virtual Universe Company monitored every living planet. Any human-inhabited world (excluding a few primitive, undiscovered planets and the territories of powerful beings) was completely under surveillance. Everything Luo Fuxin had done in secret was naturally undetectable by the Luo Clan’s intelligence network, but the Virtual Universe Company had full knowledge.

“Fine, I will help you. As long as you haven’t violated the clan rules, I will ensure you won’t die!” Luo Hai solemnly declared.

Luo Feng had two sons:

Luo Hai and Luo Ping.

Luo Hai, much like Luo Feng, was passionate about cultivation and exploring the universe.

Luo Ping, on the other hand, took after his mother Xu Xin, showing more interest in management and administration. Both had received the finest education from childhood and, after centuries of refinement, were highly intelligent. Over hundreds of years, Luo Hai had countless descendants, among whom he doted on Luo Fuxin particularly.

…

On the grand plaza of the Luo Clan’s stronghold upon Qianhua Star, a vast sea of over a hundred thousand souls had assembled. Adorned in resplendent attire, the gathering comprised not only the male scions of the clan but also the numerous noble ladies who had wed into its lineage. At the vanguard stood Xu Xin, Luo Ping, and Luo Hai, flanked by mighty Domain-level champions such as Di Fan.

“Boom~~~”

A crimson triangular spacecraft descended from the sky, slowly landing on the plaza.

All over 100,000 clan members fell silent, not daring to make a sound. Many were filled with excitement and anticipation as they stared at the spacecraft’s hatch. The true foundation of the Luo Clan’s glory, the towering pillar of their family—the Clan Head Luo Feng—had finally arrived! Many of them were seeing this moment for the very first time.

Children, being held by their parents, stared with wide eyes.

“Whoosh!” The hatch opened.

Two figures stepped out. One was a black-haired young man wearing azure battle armor, with a golden sword mark on his forehead. The violent and sharp aura of the Golden Law emanating from him was terrifying. Beside him was a bald, black-robed man whose presence felt like an endless abyss. The sight of them sent waves of excitement through the countless clan members.

“Is that the Clan Head? What a terrifying aura. And the one beside him… is that the legendary immortal bodyguard of the Clan Head? An immortal god serving as a protector for our Clan Head!” The clan members whispered in excitement.

Suddenly—

“Pay homage to the Clan Head!”

Over 100,000 people knelt down, except for a few like Xu Xin, Luo Ping, and Luo Hai who remained standing.

Luo Feng and Dylan descended, and with a single motion, Luo Feng retracted the Yimo Star spacecraft.

“Xu Xin, how is it? Have the twenty captured individuals been delivered?” Luo Feng quietly asked as he approached Xu Xin.

“Not yet,” Xu Xin shook her head. “Some are in other star regions. Even with my arranged E9-class spacecraft traveling at maximum speed, they can’t arrive within three days. Estimated—the slowest will arrive on Qianhua Star in 12 days. So far, nine have already been delivered here.”

“Hmm,” Luo Feng nodded. He had returned via divine realm teleportation from the Gulong Cosmic Nation, naturally arriving faster.

“Dad, why did you suddenly order the capture of these twenty people…” Luo Hai couldn’t help but ask.

“We’ll talk about it later.”

Luo Feng’s eyes swept across the vast sea of over a hundred thousand clan members. When numbers reach ten thousand, they stretch as far as the eye can see like an endless ocean. Witnessing more than a hundred thousand souls kneeling before him, Luo Feng sighed inwardly, “Our lineage has truly expanded beyond measure. Even now, counting the womenfolk, our family numbers have long surpassed a million. By the time I return from the City of Chaos… our kin will likely exceed ten billion souls.” His gaze hardened with resolve. “As our numbers swell, the ancestral laws must be enforced with iron discipline. Not a single shred of complacency can be tolerated among our people.”

Then, Luo Feng led Xu Xin and the others directly toward their residence.

The 100,000 clan members waited until Luo Feng left before rising and dispersing.

…

In a warm living room.

Luo Feng, Xu Xin, Luo Ping, and Luo Hai sat casually on the sofa.

“Dad,” Luo Hai couldn’t help but say, “Why did you suddenly order the capture of these twenty people? Luo Fuxin… I’ve watched him grow up since he was young. He is very talented and intelligent. Please don’t wrongfully accuse our clan members.”

“Silence,” Luo Feng coldly snapped.

Luo Hai was startled.

Luo Ping and Xu Xin were also surprised, sensing that Luo Feng was in a particularly bad mood today.

“Extremely talented? Very smart?” Luo Feng said coldly, “But he didn’t use his intelligence for good. First, he didn’t diligently cultivate to become strong. Second, he didn’t rely on proper means to run his business. Despite having full support from the Qianwu Branch Commercial Department and the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, he could have easily succeeded in business with just a little effort. Yet he resorted to such methods… It seems he has truly been spoiled since childhood, never facing any setbacks. When faced with competitors and obstacles, instead of defeating them through fair competition, he chose to kill them physically. Truly smart, truly talented.”

Luo Hai, Luo Ping, and Xu Xin were all shocked.

“Luofeng, do you have evidence?” Xu Xin quickly asked, “Our internal intelligence department hasn’t uncovered anything…”

“Our internal intelligence department hasn’t found anything because their investigative capabilities are still weak! This intelligence was personally provided to me by the Virtual Universe Company, and the evidence is overwhelming. How could there be a mistake?” Luo Feng frowned, “Moreover, the number of clan members is increasing. The clan is growing larger. Now, with the resources our clan controls, each descendant enjoys numerous benefits. However, no matter how abundant our clan’s resources are, they will seem scarce in the face of the future’s massive population. Therefore, we must increase the difficulty for clan members to obtain benefits, implement screening and competition, and at the same time, properly train and discipline them, while strengthening the clan rules.”

Xu Xin nodded, “This is already in the planning.”

“Hmm,” Luo Feng nodded, his angry expression finally easing slightly as he sighed, “I know that in the universe, large families with massive populations will inevitably encounter various issues. But I didn’t expect that even with fewer than a million family members bearing our bloodline, things have already deteriorated to this state. Xu Xin, please prepare. Once all twenty arrive, I will hold a family tribunal, summoning all the bloodline descendants on Qianhua Star.”

“Alright,” Xu Xin nodded.

…

This trial was taken very seriously by Luo Feng, not only because of the Virtual Universe Company but also for the sake of the family! Luo Feng needed to use this trial to properly intimidate the family, making all the family members understand the severity of the ‘clan rules.’ Without the constraints of clan rules, the Luo family might produce many spoiled and decadent descendants, which was something Luo Feng absolutely did not want to see.

“Prince Luo Feng, these are the detailed intelligence files you requested.”

“Thank you.”

Luo Feng requested detailed intelligence files from the Virtual Universe Company’s intelligence department regarding Luo Fuxin, Luo Yuqian, and including their fathers, totaling 21 individuals. These files had very low access permissions, so they were all packaged and sent to Luo Feng. After reviewing these files… Luo Feng couldn’t help but clench his teeth in anger, bitterly regretting that his descendants were not living up to expectations.

…

On the thirteenth day after Luo Feng’s return, all bloodline descendants gathered on Qianhua Star were summoned to the ‘Family Tribunal.’ The tribunal was enormous, capable of accommodating a million spectators.

“I heard the Clan Head is going to judge some clan disciples.”

“Who are they judging?”

“I don’t know. I heard they secretly captured quite a few people, over a hundred. This time the Clan Head himself will preside over the judgment, so it must be very serious.”

Nearly ten thousand family disciples gathered inside the tribunal, whispering to each other, creating a buzzing sound throughout the hall. As the main gate of the tribunal suddenly opened with a loud boom, all the family disciples fell silent. Then, twenty men and women, bound in chains, were escorted in one by one.

“Look, that’s Luo Fuxin.”

“That’s Luo Tianqi.”

“Wow, that’s Luo Fangqiong, a beauty within the clan. Even she was arrested!” The onlookers whispered in astonishment.

All twenty family disciples were forced to kneel on the ground.

Swoosh!

The main seat of the tribunal was empty a moment ago, but suddenly a figure appeared. It was Luo Feng, clad in black battle armor, his eyes like blades, scanning the twenty kneeling figures below.

“Clan Head,” nearly ten thousand family disciples respectfully called out, after which there was no more noise.

“Clan Head.”

The twenty disciples, bound and kneeling, all lifted their heads to look in panic and confusion at the legendary figure before them—their source of power and dominance, a top-tier existence even within the Qianwu Cosmic Nation—Luo Feng! Now, Luo Feng was gazing coldly down at them, as if looking down upon twenty ants.

Among the nearly ten thousand spectators listening to the trial, Xu Xin, Luo Ping, Luo Hai, and others were also present.

“Luofuxin, do you know your crime?” Luo Feng said coldly.

“Clan Head, I… I don’t know,” Luo Fuxin knelt there, his former intelligence now useless, he could only stubbornly insist.

“You don’t know… From your birth until now, merely a century has passed,” Luo Feng’s voice was icy cold. “Yet you have killed over ten thousand innocents who had never wronged you, simply because they impacted your business. Killing in itself is not wrong, but killing the innocent… you, too, deserve death.”

“Ahh…” Luo Fuxin’s eyes widened, wanting to say something.

“Do you think the clan’s intelligence department couldn’t find out? Yes, you were careful and clever, leaving no trace. But just because the clan couldn’t uncover it doesn’t mean the Virtual Universe Company couldn’t.” Luo Feng looked down from above, gazing coldly at Luo Fuxin below.

At once, Luo Fuxin’s face turned pale.

The other nineteen kneeling behind him also changed expressions. The nearly ten thousand clan members listening to the trial were terrified… My heavens, the clan could even investigate them through the ‘Virtual Universe Company’s intelligence department.’ With such a massive organization as the Virtual Universe Company, who dared to claim they could hide anything from them?

“I sentence you… to death.” Luo Feng raised his finger.

Xiū!

A beam of sword light pierced the air, directly going through Luo Fuxin’s forehead, leaving a bloody hole.

Kneeling on the ground, Luo Fuxin’s eyes were filled with terror, then dimmed. He collapsed with a thud, blood from the wound on his forehead staining the floor red. This scene sent chills through the nearly ten thousand clan members present, and simultaneously, the scene was transmitted in real-time through the ‘Virtual Universe Network’ to the evaluation committee of the Virtual Universe Company’s highest-ranking mission.
