"Universe Venerable!"
Luo Feng had been with Night Bright Country Lord for so long that the moment he saw the terrifying figure radiating powerful pressure, he immediately understood that this was a Universe Venerable.
"Replying to Venerable, I cultivated an Immortal Cloud Vine."
Hearing the inquiry, Luo Feng quickly took out the Immortal Cloud Vine, which had suffered severe Divine Power loss.
"The most ordinary Immortal Cloud Vine. Although its attack capability isn't strong, its ability to trap enemies and protect is not weak. It's enough to withstand a Marquis-level Immortal for a moment."
The Universe Venerable nodded slightly and explained, "No need to be nervous. I've seen the combat footage of your Tongtian Bridge challenge. You have great potential."
"Tell me in detail about the assassination you encountered."
"Yes."
Luo Feng recounted the details of the assassination he encountered.
"Hmm." After listening, the Universe Venerable looked at Luo Feng with some surprise, then nodded slightly again, "I will record everything you've said and send it to the Wu Long Starfield's alert management System."
"Regarding your matter, the six King-level Immortal responsible for managing the Wu Long Starfield will discuss it and make the final decision."
Just then...
Ripples spread through the distant space, and a Universe spaceship appeared out of thin air.
Luo Feng's eyes lit up. "It's King Han Mountain's Universe spaceship."
King Han Mountain was the person in charge of the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company in the Wu Long Starfield.
Whoosh!
The Universe spaceship's hatch opened, and a white-maned wolf-man in white armor, accompanied by the bear-man Immortal Cote, transformed into a streak of light and instantly arrived at Luo Feng's location.
"Venerable."
King Han Mountain and Cote respectfully saluted.
"I'll leave things here to you. Everything Luo Feng said, as well as my personal judgment, has already been submitted to the Wu Long Starfield's System intelligence."
The Universe Venerable swept a glance at the arriving King Han Mountain, then teleported away.
Thus, only Luo Feng and the others remained in the starry sky.
"Junior Martial Uncle." The bear-man Immortal Cote bowed his head and said, "It's my fault for not protecting you well. Ancestor entrusted your safety to me..."
"It's not your fault." Luo Feng shook his head slightly. "This assassination came too suddenly, and the assailant was a Marquis-level Immortal who had achieved a Breakthrough using the Law of light."
"Marquis-level Immortal?"
Both King Han Mountain and Cote showed expressions of astonishment.
A Marquis-level Immortal not only possessed an Immortal body, but due to the significant increase in Divine Power quality, their Soul will was far superior to that of ordinary Immortal.
A Domain Master, facing a Soul attack from a Marquis-level Immortal, would most likely perish directly, or even be subjected to Soul enslaved.
"Luo Feng, are you really alright?" King Han Mountain couldn't help but ask.
"Of course I'm fine. I have a treasure that guards my Soul, helping me resist the Marquis-level Immortal's Soul attack, and an Immortal plant life to withstand self-detonation."
Luo Feng chuckled, "If I had been Soul-controlled, I would have perished on the spot during the Marquis-level Immortal's self-detonation."
"That's true." King Han Mountain immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
If the company's Genius who had passed through the Creation Peerless Peak, Night Bright Country Lord's Personal Disciple, had perished here, even with King White Thunder protecting him, he would still have been punished.
Fortunately, Luo Feng was fine!
"Too many Zerg corpse remnants were lost, over 10 million Mixed units. If the assassination had occurred in the 'Domain Master Zerg corpse area,' the losses would have been much smaller."
King Han Mountain's Immortal Divine Power probed the surroundings, his brows slightly furrowed. "The monetary loss is secondary. The demise of a World Master Level Genius from Huge Axe Dojo's Core Region Secret Realm is the real trouble!"
"Another World Master Level Genius from Huge Axe Dojo perished?" Luo Feng was surprised.
"You don't know?" King Han Mountain's expression was strange.
"I saw three white-robed World Masters come over at the time, one of whom seemed to be a World Master Pinnacle." Luo Feng recalled.
"Then that's it." King Han Mountain nodded.
"The Core Region World Master Genius from Huge Axe Dojo was instantly killed by that Marquis-level Immortal..." Luo Feng shook his head slightly, his meaning clearly being that he was too weak.
"That World Master was said to be only a member of the Dojo Secret Realm, and had just achieved a Breakthrough to become a World Master, preparing to go out for tempering."
King Han Mountain looked at Luo Feng with a strange expression. "His Law comprehension is at most similar to yours, or even inferior to yours."
"So that's how it is." Luo Feng suddenly understood.
Among the four Secret Realms of Huge Axe Dojo, the Dojo Secret Realm's status was equivalent to Virtual Universe Company's Last Phase Secret Realm and Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company's Supreme Mystic Secret Realm, making it the weakest Secret Realm.
Only World Master Geniuses from this Secret Realm with the worst treatment, in situations of scarce points, would think of using Mixed units to scavenge in this trash Starfield.
"Luo Feng, during this assassination you encountered, all witnesses died, so there's no evidence to corroborate."
King Han Mountain frowned, "If even one witness were still alive, a Soul scan would solve all problems."
"Without evidence, and with a World Master Level Genius from Huge Axe Dojo having perished, this matter is difficult to resolve!"
"Junior Martial Uncle encountered an assassination in the Wu Long Starfield, which is due to poor internal management of the Wu Long Starfield!"
Cote immediately said angrily, "Facing the assassination of a Marquis-level Immortal, Junior Martial Uncle survived entirely thanks to the treasures bestowed by my Ancestor. Are you still going to cause trouble?"
"Hm?" King Han Mountain frowned.
"King Han Mountain, please don't be offended." Cote bowed slightly, then straightened up and said solemnly, "I was ordered by Ancestor Night Bright Country Lord to protect Junior Martial Uncle. I didn't follow Junior Martial Uncle because I trusted the internal security of the Wu Long Starfield."
"But during the time I was away from Junior Martial Uncle, Junior Martial Uncle encountered an assassination by a Marquis-level Immortal. This is my dereliction of duty, and also your Wu Long Starfield's dereliction of duty!"
Cote brought up Night Bright Country Lord. Even if King Han Mountain had Ancestor King White Thunder, who held a special status, backing him, he wouldn't have the upper hand in terms of background.
"I am a member of Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company, so naturally I side with Luo Feng, but the Wu Long Starfield is jointly managed by our six human giants, and everything must be handled according to rules and regulations."
King Han Mountain frowned. He couldn't refute Cote's words, as this indeed was a dereliction of duty by the Wu Long Starfield's management.
"The losses in the Wu Long Starfield this time are not significant. The greatest loss is the demise of the Genius World Master from Huge Axe Dojo's Core Region Dojo Secret Realm, which is not yet serious enough to warrant handling by a high and mighty Universe Venerable."
King Han Mountain explained, "The other five persons in charge will arrive here soon. At that time, we six persons in charge will handle it together."
"Although I will side with you, the other five persons in charge may not. Hmm... the person in charge of Virtual Universe Company might also side with you."
Finally, King Han Mountain solemnly reminded, "Also, Luo Feng, be careful when dealing with King Nightmare Candle from Huge Axe Dojo later. This one's temper isn't very good, and he has some conflicts with my Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company."
"King Nightmare Candle?" Luo Feng was puzzled.
"Hmm." King Han Mountain nodded. "King Nightmare Candle has a significant background and a bad temper. I'm not afraid, but the other persons in charge will defer to him."
"I will be careful."
Luo Feng nodded slightly, but secretly thought, "If my identity couldn't be exposed, no matter how great King Nightmare Candle's background is, could it be greater than mine, the Personal Disciple of Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company's founder?"
...
While Luo Feng and the two were chatting in the starry sky, ripples spread through the space tens of thousands of kilometers away, and Universe spaceships appeared one after another, with a time difference of less than half a minute. Five Universe spaceships appeared one after another, and only after the spatial fluctuations subsided did their hatches collectively open.
Hiss...!
The hatches opened, and numerous figures flew out from the five Universe spaceships, totaling over a hundred people, most of whom were Immortals.
The Wu Long Starfield's storage area was indeed forbidden to Immortals, but under such special circumstances, they could still enter.
"What's going on? How could a Genius from my Huge Axe Dojo perish here!"
The five major persons in charge led a large group of people flying over. At the very front was a handsome man in a magnificent white robe.
This was a man so beautiful it was breathtaking. Not only would women be irresistibly captivated, even men would be moved by his beauty, clearly having transcended gender.
He had flowing silver hair, crystalline skin, perfect facial features, and faint mysterious secret patterns on his forehead, which added an ancient and eternal aura, making people involuntarily feel favorably towards him.
With such an unparalleled beautiful man standing there, the other four persons in charge seemed to be mere foils.
"Follow me." King Han Mountain led Luo Feng and Cote, flying to the large group of people gathered in the starry sky.
"Luo Feng, let me introduce you. This is King Razor Prison from Virtual Universe Company."
King Han Mountain pointed to a humanoid figure wearing a blue sealed helmet and armor, with electric arcs flickering on his body, introducing the King-level Immortal.
"Hmm." King Razor Prison nodded towards Luo Feng.
King Han Mountain then introduced the other three persons in charge to Luo Feng. When it was the turn of the exceptionally beautiful man, he was interrupted.
"No need for introductions. I am King Nightmare Candle."
The exquisitely beautiful King Nightmare Candle said coldly, "Luo Feng, I know you. You passed the Universe Level Creation Peerless Peak and are an unparalleled Genius ranked among the top three on the alien assassination list."
"But why did a World Master Genius from my Huge Axe Dojo perish, and four internal members of the Wu Long Starfield die, while you, Luo Feng, are safe and sound?"
Luo Feng frowned slightly. It was clear that this King Nightmare Candle was targeting him.
"King Nightmare Candle." King Han Mountain said calmly, "Luo Feng is an unparalleled Genius of my Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company, a Personal Disciple of Night Bright Country Lord. He just encountered an assassination by a Marquis-level Immortal. He survived entirely thanks to the treasures bestowed by Night Bright Country Lord and the Immortal plant life."
"The World Master Genius from Huge Axe Dojo, and the four internal members of the Wu Long Starfield, did not have such treasures to protect them."
"King Han Mountain, I'm not asking you, I'm asking Luo Feng!"
King Nightmare Candle said with displeasure, "Luo Feng is the one who was assassinated, and also the only one who survived."
"Everyone else died, only he is still alive, so he can naturally fabricate lies."
"The World Master Level Zerg corpses in this Starfield, worth tens of millions of Mixed units, might have been taken by Luo Feng."
"He, a Domain Master little fellow, might have risked it all for these 10 million Mixed units. With his identity as an unparalleled Genius as a cover, others naturally wouldn't suspect him..."
King Nightmare Candle sneered, "But I am different!"
"You!" King Han Mountain's eyes widened in anger.
Seeing King Nightmare Candle and King Han Mountain confronting each other, the four persons in charge exchanged glances, feeling that King Nightmare Candle was being unreasonable. The power of a Marquis-level Immortal's self-detonation was incredibly formidable; even they would not choose to face a self-detonation directly.
How could mere World Master Level Zerg corpses withstand the power of a Marquis-level Immortal's self-detonation? If Luo Feng hadn't had an Immortal plant life to withstand the self-detonation's power, their Wu Long Starfield's losses would have been even greater!
However, the demise of the Huge Axe Dojo's World Master Genius this time indeed gave King Nightmare Candle an opportunity to cause trouble, and these persons in charge found it difficult to object.
"King Nightmare Candle." Luo Feng spoke.
"Shut up!"
King Nightmare Candle looked at Luo Feng coldly. "I'm talking to King Han Mountain now. It's not your turn to interrupt!"
Luo Feng stood to the side, his heart filled with anger, yet his face showed no expression.
He indeed needed the 10 million Mixed units worth of Zerg corpses, but the Marquis-level Immortal's assassination was so fierce that he had no time to collect those Zerg corpses.
"King Nightmare Candle, Luo Feng is a super Genius of my Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company, a Personal Disciple of Night Bright Country Lord."
King Han Mountain said coldly, "With his identity, he wouldn't care about a mere 10 million Mixed units..."
Hearing Night Bright Country Lord's name, the expression beneath King Razor Prison's sealed helmet changed slightly.
"That's not necessarily true!"
King Nightmare Candle interrupted King Han Mountain, "This matter involves the demise of a World Master Genius from my Huge Axe Dojo, as well as tens of millions of Mixed units. It must be thoroughly investigated."
"Whether it's a loophole in the Wu Long Starfield's internal management, or a scheme Luo Feng risked to set up, we must investigate thoroughly."
"Gentlemen in charge, do you agree with what I said?" King Nightmare Candle looked at the other persons in charge.
"It needs to be investigated carefully."
"A World Master Genius perished, four internal members died, and tens of millions of Mixed units were lost. The matter is very serious, and it should be investigated."
"Investigate thoroughly, so Luo Feng isn't wronged."
"Seconded."
The four persons in charge all nodded in agreement.
"Luo Feng, this is troublesome." King Han Mountain secretly transmitted, "The other persons in charge have all agreed. My objection is useless, but you don't need to worry. I'll report it immediately. For now, endure."
Cote also transmitted, "Junior Martial Uncle, I'm contacting my teacher. My teacher will immediately contact Ancestor upon receiving the news."
Luo Feng heard their transmissions, his heart unusually calm.
"King Han Mountain, the minority obeys the majority." King Nightmare Candle saw this and a smug smile appeared on his face. "Your objection is useless now."
"Luo Feng, I'm asking you now." King Nightmare Candle turned to look at Luo Feng and asked coldly, "What you said to the Universe Venerable earlier, was it true?"
"Yes." Luo Feng replied calmly.
King Nightmare Candle sneered, "Since it's true, then do you dare to release your Soul without resistance, and let me search your Soul to see the truth?"
"You, want to search my Soul?"
Luo Feng's expression suddenly changed, and cold, disdainful words blurted out, "You're not worthy!"
"What did you say!" The sneer on King Nightmare Candle's face froze, and his eyes seemed to hold endless rage.
"I said, you... are... not... worthy!" Luo Feng said coldly, enunciating each word.
As his words fell, the four surrounding persons in charge were stunned, feeling that Luo Feng truly didn't value his life, daring to say anything.
King Han Mountain, seeing this, disregarded the matter he had just reported, directly took out a Divine Power token and crushed it, then flashed to stand in front of Luo Feng.
"You're courting death!"
Being told he wasn't worthy by a mere Domain Master little fellow, King Nightmare Candle's exceptionally beautiful face twisted. The scenes of being repeatedly tormented in the Virtual Universe when he was weak resurfaced in his mind.
Seeing King Han Mountain protecting Luo Feng, only endless madness remained in his heart, and the mysterious Law secret patterns on his forehead flickered with light.
