Chapter 506: The Temple Envoy

In the dead of night, within the three-story pavilion of the Chunyu family crafted from purple-flamed ebony,

Chunyu Tao sat cross-legged with drooping eyelids, yet his mind churned inwardly: “The information must be correct. The two envoys from the Immortal Hall are indeed in Yangang City. But that bastard, Shi Fengxiong, would never introduce me to them… Hmm, this is troublesome. How can I make contact with the temple envoys?”

Boom!

A violent aura suddenly surged from the northeast, causing Chunyu Tao, who had been sitting with his eyes half-closed, to snap his head up, his eyes shooting beams of light that tore through the closed eastern window of the pavilion, revealing the distant eastern view.

A thunderball a kilometer high stood in the city lord’s mansion, crackling with lightning and dancing with electric snakes. This sight startled Chunyu Tao.

He was not the only one…

Many across Yangang City were stunned, for there was no structure a kilometer tall in the city. When the thunderball appeared, especially at night, it was particularly conspicuous. Within a radius of over a hundred kilometers, anyone with an unobstructed view could see it.

“What’s going on? Has that bastard Shi Fengxiong released his domain? Who could possibly challenge him?” Chunyu Tao was shocked and rushed out from his room.

Hovering midair, gazing toward the northeast, Chunyu Tao’s expression kept changing: “Who in Yangang City could possibly force Shi Fengxiong to fight so desperately? There are no other domain-level experts around. And with two temple envoys here, who in their right mind would attack now… Could it be… He’s clashing with the temple envoys?”

Chunyu Tao didn’t know the power level of the temple envoys.

To become a temple envoy, one must be at least a domain-level expert, but whether it was early, middle, late, or peak stage was unclear.

“Be careful, don’t get dragged into this,” Chunyu Tao muttered cautiously as he flew forward, not daring to release even a trace of aura, fearing the other side might mistake him for an enemy.

He had to be cautious!

Because unlike others, Chunyu Tao had no powerful backing. If he died, the Chunyu family would be finished.

An old saying goes: A man who lives long without dying becomes a thief. Chunyu Tao knew very well the importance of preserving his life.

…

In fact, the battle between Luo Feng and Shi Fengxiong was so intense that in a second or two, they could exchange dozens of blows. The entire fight, including Luo Feng’s final decisive slash, lasted only a few dozen seconds, with the longest part being the moment Luo Feng waited for Shi Fengxiong to walk forward.

…

Air exploded, lightning crackled, and energy waves flew wildly, golden waves of power dazzling.

Luxurious pavilions and flower gardens were blown apart, flying in all directions. The entire city lord’s mansion was thrown into chaos and terror. Yet Chunyu Tao crept closer cautiously. Because of his prudence, when he hid behind the ruins of a collapsed palace and looked into the distance, Luo Feng was just reaching for the spatial storage device.

“A spatial storage device?” Chunyu Tao’s eyes immediately turned red. “All of Shi Fengxiong’s treasures must be inside! He was the favored apprentice of a World Lord, and as city lord, he must have accumulated a fortune. All his treasures are in there! And that black-armored warrior… his aura doesn’t seem that strong.”

“To act or not to act?” Chunyu Tao gritted his teeth, staring at the distant black-armored figure.

Hesitation!

Indecision!

“Act!” Chunyu Tao’s eyes flared red. If he didn’t charge now, when would he?

“Hmm?” Just as he was about to rush out, Chunyu Tao sensed two powerful auras rapidly approaching and turned his head. In the night sky stood two silvery-gray figures, but the silvery-gray battle armor they wore was the symbol of the Immortal Temple envoys. The terrifying aura they exuded was chilling.

“So strong! These two are stronger than me!” Chunyu Tao’s face changed drastically. “They must both be peak-level domain masters!”

His earlier greed was instantly scared away.

“I’ll just watch and see if there’s any chance to gain something,” Chunyu Tao muttered, hiding and suppressing his aura.

At the domain master level (Territory Lord level), the core within the body is the life nucleus (singularity), and the aura can be completely concealed within it. It cannot be detected from the outside… Just like some instruments measuring strength, they can only accurately detect from Apprentice to Cosmic level. The strength of Territory Lords and Domain Lords cannot be precisely measured.

“Extremely strong,” Chunyu Tao’s eyes twitched.

…

Dressed in black battle armor, wearing battle boots, and a helmet with a face mask, Luo Feng was fully armed.

“These two…” Luo Feng looked up at the two figures in silver-gray battle armor hovering in the sky. They were clearly furious, their auras sending chills down anyone’s spine. “At least Domain Lord seventh or eighth stage, possibly even ninth stage. This could be a bit of a problem.”

Yes!

Only a problem, nothing more. Luo Feng had always wanted to avoid using his Mosha Clan clone, preferring to hone his own skills. But if his life was in danger, who would be foolish enough to throw it away? With the Mosha Clan’s strength, especially their insane spatial law abilities… if he wanted to escape, these two wouldn’t be able to stop him.

“Are you two really going to fight me?” Luo Feng looked up at the two in the sky.

“Haha, you killed my junior brother. Did you really think I would let you go?” The handsome middle-aged man in the sky roared angrily.

…

The two envoys from the Immortal Temple in the night sky radiated terrifying auras.

“I didn’t expect it to come to this,” another man beside them transmitted mentally. “Brother You, I’m sorry. I didn’t expect this to happen either.”

“Old Mo, it’s not your fault. I was careless too,” the handsome man muttered darkly.

For the past two or three days, they had been treated very well by Shi Fengxiong. Especially tonight, when they were even invited to listen to the legendary fish beauties from the “Demon Sea” sing and serve them in their chambers. These fish beauties were among the most exquisite women on the Blood-Luo Continent. They could transform their fish tails into human legs and revert back when touching water.

And their singing was incredibly enchanting, a true luxury.

Yet fish beauties were found only in the Demon Sea, a terrifying region on the Blood-Luo Continent. Capturing one alive was extremely difficult, so fish beauties were pursued by many powerful figures on the continent.

As temple envoys, they rarely had such luxuries within the temple. This time, seeing a fish beauty, they naturally didn’t mind indulging a little.

They were enjoying themselves when suddenly they sensed a powerful aura erupting in the distance. At first, they didn’t care to move, confident that in this world, no one would dare challenge Shi Fengxiong, the apprentice of World Lord Siyong. They believed Shi Fengxiong could handle it.

But later, the aura became too intense, the explosions too loud, and the two reluctantly left their beds to check what was happening.

When they arrived, Shi Fengxiong was already dead!

…

Inside the city lord’s mansion, the atmosphere became explosive.

“You two are not my target. I don’t feel like killing. Don’t force me to act!” Luo Feng glanced at the two in the sky, then took a step and shot upward.

“Want to escape?”

The handsome man in the air roared furiously, simultaneously transmitting mentally to the other envoy, “Old Mo, he killed my junior brother. Leave this to me. You just watch… I’m worried this kid might have some sudden escape method. Keep an eye out and make sure he doesn’t escape.”

“Brother You, leave it to me. Don’t worry,” Envoy Mo nodded.

He felt indebted after being treated so well these past few days. Shi Fengxiong was dead, and Envoy Mo naturally wanted to contribute.

…

As Luo Feng shot upward, he saw the handsome man charging toward him with a murderous look, frowning slightly: “You really want to push me. Since you’re asking for death… I’ll gladly send you to it!”

Inside his inner world, the Mosha Clan clone had already become identical to the outer Luo Feng, holding the Blood Shadow Blade and wearing the same armor. The armor, blade, and shield were not considered high-grade weapons in the Virtual Universe Company. They were temporary custom-made for the Blood-Luo World.

Because they were cheap, ten sets were made at once, just in case one broke.

“Switch!” Luo Feng thought.

Flash!

The outer Luo Feng (the Earthman Original) and the Mosha Clan clone inside his inner world instantly switched places. The Original entered the inner world, while the Mosha clone emerged into the outside world. This instantaneous switch, combined with Luo Feng’s high-speed flight, made it impossible to detect any change.

“Hmm, his aura vanished?” The pursuing Envoy You noticed the black-armored warrior’s aura, previously at Cosmic Ninth Stage, suddenly disappear completely.

“I’m a Domain Lord Peak. Unless he’s a World Lord, he’s definitely dead!” Envoy You suddenly produced a battle blade and instantly caught up with the black-armored warrior Luo Feng, transmitting furiously: “You really have guts! In this world, only my junior brother and I kill others. No one has ever dared to cross us! Die!”

Boom!

The Mosha Luo Feng’s lips curled into a smile. The connection with the universe was as smooth as a fish in water, a baby in its mother’s arms. That near-perfect unity allowed Luo Feng to clearly sense a violent, powerful aura charging from behind.

“It must be a Domain Lord at the Ninth Stage!” Mosha Luo Feng sneered icily. “The universe’s most formidable assassination lineage, fused with my mastery of the ‘Nine Heavens Chaos Stele’… Allow me to demonstrate.”

Mosha Luo Feng closed his eyes.

The violent aura surged forward, and just as it was about to strike—

Flash!

Envoy You’s eyes filled with killing intent. His blade, as fast as thunder, sliced the black warrior in front of him in half. But the moment it happened, his expression changed drastically: “Something’s wrong!” The ‘black warrior’ he had sliced had no blood, no solid sensation, and was now slowly dissipating.

“Where is he? How did he move so fast I couldn’t sense him?” Envoy You was terrified.

“Brother You, he’s behind you!!!” A panicked, urgent voice echoed in Envoy You’s mind.

Envoy You spun around instantly.

Behind him stood a black-armored warrior, staring at him. A blade of light flashed.
