The Dojo Master, Hong, on the other end of the communications watch fell silent for a moment before asking, “Are you saying Li Yao was killed by Luo Feng?”
“Yes, Dojo Master.” Liu He was just as bewildered.
Although Luo Feng could control sixteen throwing weapons, and even if a peak advanced war god level spiritual reader could rival a councillor level fighter, killing one was simply impossible. If Liu He had not witnessed it himself, he would never have believed it.
“Dojo Master, I saw it with my own eyes. Luo Feng controlled the Soaring Heaven Shuttle, which instantly transformed into a streak of golden light and shot Li Yao dead,” Liu He reported.
“The Soaring Heaven Shuttle? Golden light?”
On the other end of the communications watch, Hong pondered briefly before giving an order.
“Liu He, bring Luo Feng back to headquarters immediately.”
“Yes, sir!” Liu He responded.
“And your intelligent fighter should have recorded the battle, right? Send me a copy.”
“Understood.”
Beside Liu He, Amuhan, the inspector from the Thunder Dojo, had also just finished reporting to Thunder God. Liu He and Amuhan exchanged glances before both turning to look at Luo Feng, who was hovering outside in mid air. The cabin door had already opened.
“I killed Li Yao!”
Looking down at the endless sky, Luo Feng’s emotions were complicated.
Ever since mastering the first level of the first form of the Soaring Heaven Shuttle, he had not regarded ordinary first stage planetary level fighters as a threat. Although Li Yao had broken through, he did not possess a Black God Suit, so Luo Feng had been completely confident he could kill him. Yet the moment he actually succeeded…
His feelings were unexpectedly mixed.
His grudge with Li Yao had lasted for a very long time.
Back when he had only just begun as a fighter, Li Yao had loomed before him like an insurmountable mountain, filling him with fear. Step by step, as Luo Feng grew stronger, Li Yao’s threat gradually diminished. This time, because of what had happened to his parents, Luo Feng had resolved in anger that Li Yao had to die. That was why he had killed him.
“Luo Feng, what are you thinking about?”
“Haha, does killing Li Yao in one strike feel satisfying?”
Liu He’s voice called from the open hatch of the intelligent fighter in the distance.
“I’m coming.”
Luo Feng smiled and flew over on the Soaring Heaven Shuttle.
After he entered, the hatch closed.
“Return to headquarters,” Liu He ordered.
The intelligent fighter immediately turned and sped away.
Inside the cabin, Luo Feng noticed that both Liu He and Amuhan were looking at him differently.
He smiled.
“Why are you both looking at me like that?”
“Amazing, simply amazing. You actually killed a councillor level fighter.”
Liu He stared at him.
“I admire you.”
The awkward Chinese words came from Amuhan as he gave Luo Feng a thumbs up.
“It wasn’t much. Li Yao simply didn’t have a Black God Suit. If he had one, killing him would have been extremely difficult.”
Luo Feng smiled faintly.
Liu He and Amuhan were secretly shocked. There were only so many beings on Earth who had surpassed the war god level, yet none of the other councillors had ever killed another councillor.
Luo Feng had achieved such a feat, yet remained so calm.
What truly astonished them was his mentality.
“Killing a first stage planetary level fighter?”
Luo Feng shook his head inwardly.
On Earth, it was an unbelievable accomplishment. But after experiencing Ancient Civilisation Ruin No. 9, he understood clearly that planetary level fighters were merely scraping by in the vast universe. Having inherited the introductory legacy of Yunmo Planet, killing a first stage planetary level fighter was nothing worth boasting about.
A short while later, the Universe Class intelligent fighter slowly landed on the runway.
Luo Feng, Liu He, and Amuhan, all three councillors, entered the gigantic spaceship shaped building.
“The other councillors are all in the banquet hall.”
Liu He smiled.
“This way.”
Following Liu He, the three soon arrived at the banquet hall.
The hall’s massive dark red doors stood three point six metres tall, intricately carved, with two attendants stationed on either side. The attendants bowed slightly.
“Three councillors, please come in.”
They pushed open the heavy doors, which slowly swung inward as the sound of conversation immediately spilled out.
Luo Feng, Liu He, and Amuhan walked inside.
The instant Luo Feng, dressed in black casual clothes, stepped into the banquet hall, every being present who had surpassed the war god level turned to look at him simultaneously.
All eyes were fixed on Luo Feng alone.
“Hmm?”
Luo Feng was slightly surprised.
More than thirty planetary level fighters were staring at him.
“Luo Feng.”
“Luo Feng.”
Several inspectors from the Extreme Dojo, including Vladimir and Wang Yu, smiled as they came over to greet him.
As for the other councillors, they remained in small groups, whispering quietly. Most had deliberately created sound barriers around themselves, ensuring their conversations could not be overheard, clearly discussing matters not meant to be public.
“Luo Feng still has to stand on his weapon to fly, which means he hasn’t broken through and remains a peak war god. Yet as a peak advanced war god spiritual reader, he killed Li Yao with a single streak of golden light.”
“He must have obtained an exceptionally powerful special weapon.”
The councillors quietly discussed the matter with their close friends.
Li Yao’s breakthrough had already shocked everyone, drawing the attention of all the councillors. Then came the news that Li Yao had been killed by Luo Feng.
Naturally, everyone wanted to know how it had happened.
Since more than thirty councillors were paying close attention, Hong and Thunder God could not conceal the truth.
So they played the recording of Luo Feng killing Li Yao.
Neither Hong nor Thunder God slowed the footage down. It was shown at normal speed.
All the councillors saw was Luo Feng’s special weapon hovering before him before instantly transforming into a streak of golden light that blasted Li Yao into fragments.
“That weapon is incredibly powerful.”
“He spent one year and three months in Ancient Civilisation Ruin No. 9. He must have gained something there. That weapon was probably obtained from the ruins.”
“If a peak war god can unleash this much power with it, imagine how powerful it would be in the hands of a true councillor.”
Everyone coveted valuable treasures.
If a child walked down the street carrying a chest full of gold, it would be strange if nobody tried to steal it.
The principle was the same.
Most of the councillors were tempted by the special weapon that transformed into golden light.
However, Luo Feng was no child. He was someone capable of killing a councillor.
That made everyone restrain themselves.
Besides, they were more confident than Li Yao had been.
When Li Yao was executed, he had not possessed a Black God Suit.
Every other councillor did.
With a Black God Suit, their defensive capability increased by more than ten times.
Luo Feng stood together with the other four inspectors.
“I have the feeling that quite a few councillors are looking at me strangely,” Luo Feng said quietly.
“You brought it upon yourself by making such a huge impression.”
The inspector surnamed Wang spoke in a low voice.
“You’re only a peak war god spiritual reader, yet with a single weapon you killed a genuine councillor level fighter. It’s obvious that weapon is extraordinary. Tell me, how many councillors here wouldn’t be tempted? They’re simply holding themselves back. But if the opportunity ever comes, many of those bastards will make their move.”
Luo Feng smiled.
A group of councillors?
He truly did not take them seriously.
On Earth, there were only two people he regarded as worthy of surpassing, Hong and Thunder God.
As for everyone else, they barely counted.
Once he returned, he would begin the Ninety Nine Tempering Spirit technique and directly become a first stage planetary level spiritual reader.
By then…
Even if a group of councillors came looking for trouble, they would simply be courting death.
Still, he doubted they had that much courage.
Rumble.
The banquet hall doors opened once more.
Everyone turned to look.
The man in black, Hong, and the bald monk, Thunder God, walked in one after the other.
All the councillors immediately fell silent, not daring to utter another word.
“Everyone.”
Hong’s cold gaze swept across the entire hall.
The invisible pressure made everyone’s heart tremble, leaving them completely unable to resist.
“I heard every word of your discussion just now. I didn’t expect that after barely more than ten years, some of you had already forgotten the Ahan Incident.”
“A bunch of useless fools.”
Thunder God sneered beside him.
The councillors all turned pale.
The Ahan Incident referred to the time when Hong, in a fit of fury, had personally killed the councillor Ahan.
It was not only Hong.
On Earth, those who had killed councillor level fighters included both Hong and Thunder God.
Now Luo Feng had joined that list.
The difference was that Hong and Thunder God had both killed councillors wearing Black God Suits.
“I established the War God Palace together with Thunder God to unite all of you because I hoped humanity’s elite would fight for the survival of mankind.”
“Unity.”
“You must remember those two words. Otherwise, our war of survival against the monsters may very well end with humanity’s extinction.”
Hong’s voice remained icy.
“The sea monsters outnumber humanity many times over. They also possess far more king level monsters, as well as two monster emperors.”
Luo Feng was startled.
Monster emperors?
Two of them?
The other councillors showed no surprise at all, clearly already aware of this.
“Unity comes first.”
“I do not want to see another incident like Ahan or Li Nansheng ever happen again. If it does, Thunder God and I will not hesitate to eliminate those responsible. Such people are nothing but rotten apples.”
Hong’s voice remained emotionless.
Not a single councillor dared make a sound.
“As for Luo Feng’s weapon, it is called the Soaring Heaven Shuttle.”
Every councillor immediately listened intently.
“I gave it to Luo Feng.”
Hong continued coldly.
“Of course, first, Luo Feng’s talent was exceptional. Second, he exchanged all the spirits of plants and trees he obtained on Mist Island for it.”
“I am always fair.”
“If you want something, you must pay the price.”
Hong looked at Luo Feng.
“Luo Feng, come with me. Everyone else may continue the banquet.”
With that, Hong turned and walked out.
Thunder God followed beside him.
After receiving the order, Luo Feng hurried after them and left the banquet hall.
Rumble.
The banquet hall doors closed once more.
Only then did all the councillors finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Each exchanged fearful glances with the others.
It had been a very, very long time since Hong and Thunder God had become angry in front of the councillors.
People were forgetful by nature.
More than ten years was enough time for them to forget just how ruthless Hong and Thunder God truly were.
After what had just happened, everyone felt the same thing.
In Hong’s presence, their lives no longer belonged to them.
The feeling filled every one of them with fear.
Not a single person dared entertain any crooked thoughts again.
