Cang Lan Star, shortly after Luo Feng and the others’ spaceship arrived, it was guided to the planet’s docking port by a signal.
“Now we can only fly there ourselves.”
“It will be quick. At our speed, we will arrive in a few minutes.” Luo Feng smiled and flew with the other four people towards a prosperous metropolis in the distance, Thunder City.
Thunder City was not originally called this. It was only later that a World created by a Realm Lord was discovered in Thunder City.
Because this Realm Lord World was famous for thunder, it was called the “Thunder World”.
Therefore, people from other planets began calling this city “Thunder City”.
“Thunder City has arrived.”
The five of them landed. They saw floating vehicles everywhere in the city, along with some people flying through the air using their bodies.
“The Universe Mercenary Alliance headquarters is over 30 kilometres in that direction.” Thunder God looked down at the map displayed on his auxiliary optical computer, then pointed towards the approximate northeast direction corresponding to the planet’s magnetic field. The five of them quickly headed towards the Universe Mercenary Alliance headquarters. The World of a Realm Lord was located inside that headquarters.
The mercenary alliance headquarters was built only after the World of a Realm Lord was discovered.
The five of them entered the Universe Mercenary Alliance headquarters.
“You need to go this way. The villa surrounded by heavy security ahead is the Thunder World.” A staff member at the headquarters pointed towards a lonely villa in the distance. The surrounding area was extremely empty, but it was heavily guarded by numerous guards.
“Thunder World?”
“A villa?”
Everyone looked at that villa.
The staff member grinned and chuckled. “Back then, the ‘Realm Lord’ who created the Thunder World may have been living in seclusion in Thunder City. He bought a villa and created the Thunder World inside it. From the outside, who could tell that this villa contained a world far larger than the entire Cang Lan Star? However, after countless years passed, the other villas around it had already turned into ruins.”
“Oh?” Luo Feng nodded, then smiled and thanked him. “Thank you.”
“Let’s go.” Luo Feng, Hong, Thunder God, and the other two headed directly towards the villa.
The villa was surrounded by layers of guards.
Suddenly.
The guards quickly separated, creating a passage. A man wearing a “One Star Mercenary” badge on his chest walked out. He looked up at the sky. The surrounding guards stood respectfully beside him. It seemed that this Universe Mercenary was some kind of leader here.
“What is happening?” Luo Feng was slightly surprised.
“Look, a spaceship is coming over.” Thunder God pointed towards the sky.
The five of them, along with many people around them who had come to the Universe Mercenary Alliance headquarters, looked up. A spaceship flew over from the distant sky. Almost in an instant, it stopped above the headquarters and remained suspended.
Whoosh!
The hatch opened.
Then, one young man and woman after another descended. Judging from their appearances, they came from many different races. There were more than twenty of them.
“Lord Jiaya.” The Universe Mercenary stepped forward.
Among the more than twenty young men and women who flew down, there was a handsome man wearing purple battle armour. On his chest hung a Two Star Mercenary badge.
“I am only sending some young members of my organisation here to participate in the trainee mercenary examination. There is no need for you, the person in charge, to personally welcome me.”
“Lord Jiaya saved my life back then. How could I not come out when you arrived?” The Universe Mercenary smiled, then looked at the group of young men and women around him. “These are the new members of Black Cloud Society this time. Hmm, they all look quite good.”
“Haha, there are indeed several promising ones among this batch of newcomers.” The purple-clothed man nodded with a smile.
Then, the purple-clothed man looked over the group of young people and shouted, “The danger of the Universe Trainee Mercenary Examination does not need me to explain again. I only hope that next time at Black Cloud Society, I can still see all of you. Hurry up and enter the World of a Realm Lord.”
“Yes, Chief Instructor.”
The group of young people respectfully responded.
They naturally divided into four teams. Each team contained Star level second or third rank members, as well as Star level eighth and ninth rank members. The four teams quickly entered the villa one after another.
The villa was only so large, but when more than twenty people entered, it seemed as if they had entered a bottomless abyss.
……
The purple-clothed man stood there. Just like an ordinary person seeing a poisonous snake, he naturally gave people a feeling of fear.
Luo Feng, Hong, Thunder God, and the others only stood among the crowd in the distance and did not dare approach at this moment.
“Black Cloud Society? They mentioned Black Cloud Society. What is Black Cloud Society?” Discussions came from the surrounding crowd.
“What is Black Cloud Society?” Luo Feng also looked at Hong and Thunder God.
“I do not know.”
“We do not know either, Master.” Ao Gu and Tie Nan He both shook their heads.
Suddenly, the discussions nearby caught Luo Feng and the others’ attention.
“Black Cloud Society is one of the four major organisations of our Black Dragon Mountain Empire. Our Black Dragon Mountain Empire governs the entire Black Dragon Mountain Star Region. Its territory is vast, spreading across more than eight thousand galaxies. The strongest forces in the entire empire are naturally the two great sacred lands, followed by the four major organisations and the sixteen great families.”
“What are the two great sacred lands?”
“You do not even know that?”
“The two great sacred lands are ‘Black Dragon Mountain’ and ‘Ice Sea Divine Kingdom’. It is said that both sacred lands were created by Immortals, and they have many Realm Lords under their command.”
“The sixteen great families each have at least one Realm Lord. A Realm Lord possesses the power to destroy heaven and earth and create a world. Of course, either of the two sacred lands can easily destroy all sixteen great families.”
“If Black Dragon Mountain, Ice Sea Divine Kingdom, and the sixteen great families belong to the official forces, then the four major organisations belong to the private sector. They have been passed down for tens of millions of years. Some ancient elders of the four major organisations have even entered the Qian Wu Universe Nation.”
……
The nearby discussions made Luo Feng and the other four listen attentively.
So this was how the power structure of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire was divided: the two great sacred lands, the four major organisations, and the sixteen great families.
“Luo Feng, this is information about the power distribution of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.” Babata’s voice sounded in Luo Feng’s sea of consciousness.
Immediately, a large amount of written information appeared on the screen of Luo Feng’s arm guard. While lowering his head to read it, he also sent the information to Hong, Thunder God, Ao Gu, and Tie Nan He.
After carefully looking through it, Luo Feng was amazed.
The foundation of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire was the two great sacred lands, “Black Dragon Mountain” and “Ice Sea Divine Kingdom”. They represented the strongest official forces.
The private sector consisted of the four major organisations.
Their influence spread across thousands of galaxies, and each organisation had a group of Realm Lord experts. In terms of power, they were absolutely not to be underestimated. Furthermore, the backgrounds of the four major organisations were connected to some extremely powerful figures within the Qian Wu Universe Nation. Therefore, although the four major organisations were perhaps not as strict as the two great sacred lands, their peak combat strength was almost the same.
“What? Nuolan Shan belongs to the ‘Hundred Tiger Tower’, one of the four major organisations?” Luo Feng was shocked.
The information Babata provided contained a brief introduction about Nuolan Shan’s position in Hundred Tiger Tower. After reading it, Luo Feng relaxed slightly. “Fortunately, he is only a basic member of Hundred Tiger Tower and does not have much authority.”
The four major organisations of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire could absolutely create storms of blood.
If the Nuolan Shan family was only a drop of water, then any one of the four major organisations was an endless and turbulent ocean. Because they possessed powerful peak strength and deep backgrounds, the Black Dragon Mountain Empire could only accept their existence.
“Nuolan Shan’s background is so powerful?” Thunder God was shocked. At the same time, he used his Force to create a soundproof barrier around them.
“He is only a basic member of Hundred Tiger Tower, not a high-level member.” Hong said.
Hundred Tiger Tower, one of the four major organisations. A warrior at Universe level ninth rank could indeed only be considered a basic member.
“Three Axe Mountain, Hundred Tiger Tower, Black Cloud Society, and Northern Dragon City. Within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, they can cover the sky with one hand.” Luo Feng also felt admiration. If one day he could hold a high position in such an organisation, then with a single command, a family like Nuolan Shan’s could be turned into ruins, and thousands of inhabited planets would surrender.
“Admire what?”
“Strength is what matters most. When you have the strength of my master, a single sentence from you will make the entire Black Dragon Mountain Empire tremble in fear.” Babata shouted. “Those so-called sacred lands are nothing. My master had nine Immortal servants under his command!”
Luo Feng smiled.
Before the master of the Ink Star, the Black Dragon Mountain Empire had to lower its head. However, towards Luo Feng, the Black Dragon Mountain Empire was still an enormous existence.
……
“We are here to participate in the Universe Trainee Mercenary Examination.”
The five of them stood in front of the villa.
“Beep!”
A signal scanned over Luo Feng and the other four. Only after hearing the signal did the guards nod.
“Go in.”
Clearly, the identity signals of Luo Feng and the others had passed verification.
A spacious garden.
Inside the garden was an ordinary three-storey villa. Two cold-looking women in black stood at the entrance.
One of the women looked at Luo Feng and the others and said seriously, “Five adventurers, I believe you understand the dangers of the World of a Realm Lord you are about to enter. If you regret it now, you can still withdraw.”
“No need. Open the door.” Luo Feng said.
Creak!
One of the women in black directly pushed open the villa door.
“The World of a Realm Lord is on the second floor of the villa.”
Luo Feng and the other four entered one after another. They walked through the hall and went upstairs to the second floor.
The other rooms on the second floor were normal. Only one room had a woman standing at the entrance. The woman had purple patterns on her face.
When she saw Luo Feng and the others, she directly opened the door. Immediately, a stream of light poured out from inside.
“This is…” Luo Feng and the others held their breaths as they looked.
The flowing light was like bubbles, making it impossible for them to see clearly into the room.
“Enter, and you will be in the Thunder World.” The woman said coldly.
“Hmm.”
Luo Feng, Hong, Thunder God, Ao Gu, and Tie Nan He looked at each other. Then all of them stretched out their hands, each holding onto the next person’s hand.
Because if they did not hold hands, after entering the Thunder World, the five of them would be separated and sent to different locations.
“Thunder World!”
“Let’s go in.”
Tie Nan He was the first to step into the flowing light. After him came Thunder God, Luo Feng, Hong, and finally Ao Gu.
Silently.
The five of them entered the flowing light and completely disappeared.
“Clack!”
The woman at the door closed the door again.
