Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger

Huyang City, residence No. 99, Hun Dun Jia.

"Meet the adults!"

Behind Mo Limeng stood a group of men and women with purple horns on their heads, purple eyes, and purple flames burning in their eyes. A rough count showed that there were probably thousands of them, with strength ranging from the Lord of Laws to True God. At this moment, at Mo Limeng's signal, they all greeted Luo Shen.

"Abyss, these are all members of our Moli clan's branch clan. They have clean backgrounds. Although their strength is a little weak, they should have no problem cleaning up the cave."

Mo Limeng said with a flattering smile on his face.

Ever since he learned that Luo Shen single-handedly destroyed the Quicksand Valley, Mo Limeng no longer dared to talk to Luo Shen on an equal footing as before. After all, even the ruler of their clan, Mo Lixiao, did not dare to be careless in front of Luo Shen, so how could he, an ordinary Eternal True God, dare to be careless.

He had also heard of the name of the Lord of the Quicksand Valley.

However, what Mo Limeng could not have imagined was that even an Eternal True God of such strength would fall at the hands of Luo Shen. Is this still the Lord of the Abyss that he knew before?

But fortunately, Mo Limeng adjusted his mentality very quickly.

Although the Moli Family is the largest family in Huyang City, the entire family is now closely linked to the survival of Huyang City. At this critical moment of confrontation between the two countries, they need to be more cautious. Fortunately, the relationship between the Moli Family and the Lord of the Abyss is not bad.

Even though he had asked someone to test Luo Shen, he was not exposed directly in the end, right?

However, what Mo Limeng didn't know was that his previous attempt to test the Heart-Crushing Sect had already been exposed by the Sect's leader.

If it weren't for the fact that the leader of the Chuixin Sect honestly told Mo Limeng that he was only asking him to test the waters, and that the subsequent attempt to kill Luo Shen was their own initiative, let alone Mo Limeng, even if Mo Lixiao came in person, he would not have given him any face.

As for the fate of the leader of the Heart-Destroying Cult.

In view of the other party's sincere surrender, Luo Shen was magnanimous and forgave him, allowing him to become a soul slave under his command.

Of course, the leader of the Heart-Destroying Cult himself was not very happy about it.

However, under Luo Shen's "nuclear peace" persuasion, the other party still obediently opened the True God Space, revealing the True God's Heart, and allowed Luo Shen to perform the soul secret technique to imprint the soul mark on the True God's Heart.

Becoming Luo Shen's soul slave, although he lost his freedom and his life and death were at the mercy of others, Luo Shen did not treat him unfairly.

The leader of the Heart-Destroying Sect was good at the Heart-Destroying state of mind, which was somewhat similar to the Heart-Destroying state of mind of the Heart-Destroying Marquis, who was good at killing among the nine Chaos Lords of the Jin State. So Luo Shen taught him the other's unique skills, and his combat power increased greatly in a short period of time.

If he could comprehend the mind-killing state of mind, combined with his own mind-destroying state of mind, he might have a chance to step into the level of Chaos Lord.

pity.

Although the Duandonghe lineage has produced a God King and three Chaos Lords, due to the restrictions of the inheritance mark, even if Luo Shen breaks through to the God King level, he cannot violate the restrictions and hand over the core inheritance to outsiders for viewing, unless he learns it himself and then burns it out.

Although the inheritance of the Jin State lineage does not have too many restrictions, most of the Chaos Lords of the Jin State lineage are good at refining treasures, and there are not many who are good at fighting.

Even for a few people, it is not certain that they can find a suitable person to inherit the inheritance.

It would be great if the State of Jin could be as powerful as the State of Shi and the State of Yu now. Not to mention the God-King level, there would be more than a hundred strong men at the Chaos Lord level alone. No matter what they are good at, they can find the right inheritance, and it would be much easier to improve their strength.

Although Luo Shen had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

But on the surface, he still maintained that indifferent smile and said, "In that case, thank you very much for your kindness, Brother Mo Li."

Mo Limeng waved his hands.

He dismissed the servants and approached Luo Shen, whispering, "Deep Abyss, the city lord asked me to ask you if you are willing to kill the leader of the Food Nation in Huyang City. As long as you are willing to do it, you can set the reward, and all the treasures obtained from the other party will belong to you."

Don't be fooled by Mo Limeng's dog-licking appearance, he actually holds a high position in Huyang City, and is the deputy city lord!

He is even the person who speaks to the outside world when the five major families in Huyang City speak together.

In Huyang City, except for the city lord and commander Mo Lixiao, he has the highest status.

His words are certainly credible.

However, the leader of the Food Country mentioned by the other party is not someone who is easy to deal with.

After all, since it was sent by the Food Kingdom, its strength should not be underestimated. It had led the forces of the Food Kingdom in many battles with the City Lord's Mansion in Huyang City. The City Lord's Mansion even mobilized ten legions and the city defense formation at one point. Even Commander Mo Lixiao took action personally but was unable to defeat the opponent.

Of course, the other party didn't get anything good out of it.

Otherwise, the King of Food Kingdom would not have needed to let Liusha reincarnate secretly and come to the outside of Huyang City as a supporting force.

"How much are you asking for?"

Luo Shen glanced at the other party, and seeing that he avoided his gaze with some embarrassment, he immediately realized that the other party's reward was arbitrary, but he was short of money to buy materials for practicing the smelting method, so he didn't care so much.

But he also had a problem.

"Even if I'm willing to take it, I remember that the other party's whereabouts are uncertain. He has been wandering around the city. Usually, they take the initiative to come to me. Where can I find him?"

The leader of the Food Nation not only has many ways to save his life, but his hiding skills are also unique.

If the opponent intends to hide, even if the City Lord's Mansion casts a wide net, it will not be able to find the opponent's whereabouts. Otherwise, just find an opportunity to surround and kill him. After a few tries, you will always be able to kill the opponent.

"Of course!"

Seeing Luo Shen asking for the price, Mo Limeng's face lit up with joy, and he said hurriedly: "We also managed to grasp the whereabouts of the opponent with great difficulty, but recently there have been more and more unusual movements in the city, and the ten legions are busy putting out fires everywhere, so I'm afraid we can't help much."

Hearing this, Luo Shen couldn't help but frowned.

Although he is indeed capable of dealing with the leader of the Food Nation by himself, others don't know that just based on his record against the Lord of the Quicksand Valley, is it so difficult for them to have this ability?

After thinking for a while, Luo Shen asked, "Why are there so many unusual movements in the city?"

Although apart from the City Lord's Mansion, many dark forces in the city are trying to challenge the rules and want to rob other strong men to strengthen themselves like the bandits in the Quicksand Valley, these dark forces dare not show up easily under the suppression of the City Lord's Mansion.

Now there is a sudden change, could it be related to what the other party said before?
Feeling Luo Shen's gaze, Mo Limeng smiled bitterly and nodded: "It seems that I still can't hide it from you. The dark forces in the city are moving unusually. In addition to the reason that the resistance forces of the Food Country have increased their restlessness, part of it is also because of the destruction of the bandits in the Quicksand Valley. Some forces feel threatened, so they plan to make a big profit to increase their chances of survival."

As he spoke, Mo Limeng glanced at Luo Shen dimly.

But Luo Shen didn't believe what the other party said. Even if the Quicksand Valley had not been destroyed, as long as the resistance of the Food Country increased, the other dark forces that had been unable to find a place to attack would definitely move at this time and bite the behemoth of Huyang City hard.

As one of the only three large cities in Jiujiang Chaos State, Huyang City has a large number of True Gods and Void True Gods. In the armies commanded by the ten legions alone, the number of Void True Gods exceeds 200,000.

If the Void True Gods of other forces are included, the number easily exceeds one million.

Although the ten legions are powerful, it is impossible to cover everything and guard all aspects.

However, in this matter, Mo Limeng really did not blame Luo Shen.

The reason why the resistance forces of the Food Kingdom moved suddenly was mainly because of the destruction of the Liusha Valley. Liusha no longer carried out the original mission, and confirmed that its replacement mission was to repair on the spot, restore strength, wait for the reinforcements from the Food Kingdom to arrive, and capture Huyang City as soon as possible!

Now the increase in the unusual movements of the resistance forces in the Food Kingdom is only to make the forces of the City Lord's Mansion in Huyang City busy and unable to figure out their real purpose.

"What does this have to do with the other party's position?"

Luo Shen asked.

There have been some unusual movements among the resistance forces in the Food Country. What does this have to do with their leader? It can't be that these unusual movements were caused by the other party personally leading the team, right?

Of course, this is impossible.

After all, the other party also knew that he was a thorn in the eyes and a thorn in the flesh in the eyes of the City Lord's Mansion of Huyang City, and they wished they could tear him into pieces.

Although he has already put life and death aside after this mission, it is still better to be alive.

Mo Limeng did not keep the secret and said directly: "The other party has contacted the resistance forces too frequently during this period. We have been paying attention to every move in the city. Following the clues, we found the other party's traces."

"Is the source of the information reliable?"

“One hundred percent reliable!”

Luo Shen frowned.

He always felt that there was something fishy about this, especially since the leader of the resistance forces in the Food Country had been hiding for so long. How could he easily expose his position at this critical moment?

Even if it was accidental, it's not very reasonable.

In addition to this, there is another point. The City Lord's Mansion of Huyang City has always regarded the other party as a thorn in its side. How could they find a third-party strongman to take action when they knew the other party's position?
"It seems that they are using me as a chess piece to test me."

Luo Shen sighed secretly.

Even though he had demonstrated great strength and talent, in the eyes of these big families, he was really only of use value.

Fortunately, Luo Shen's strength is far more than that. Since the other party thinks they can make moves as chess players, then don't blame me, the chess piece in their eyes, for suddenly transforming into the one who completely overturns the chessboard!
"Abyss, what do you think?"

Seeing that Luo Shen didn't reply for a long time, Mo Limeng asked tentatively: "If you have any requests, just ask."

Luo Shen looked at Mo Limeng deeply.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "How much can you pay me?"

After all, it is more practical to have money in hand. As long as he can practice the smelting method to the seventh level of the Divine King Realm, he will not be afraid even if he faces the King of the Food Kingdom.

To practice the smelting method, what is needed now is money and resources!

In the Yanfeng Guild Hall, there is also a bounty on the leader of the Food Nation rebellion, and the bounty price is the same as that of the commander Mo Lixiao.

Hearing Luo Shen's question, Mo Limeng rubbed his hands and said a little embarrassedly: "The city lord only gave me the authority to give me a million cosmic sands. If you think it is not enough, our five major families are willing to invest another million cosmic sands."

As if worried that Luo Shen would not believe it, Mo Limeng added: "I promise, this is absolutely the greatest sincerity I can give within my authority."

Looking at the silly look of Mo Limeng in front of him, Luo Shen silently deleted his previous evaluation of him.

Even if they are chess players, it should be Mo Lixiao and the city lord's people. Judging from the way this guy reveals his cards at the slightest disagreement, he is likely to be sold out as soon as he sits at the table.

But Luo Shen seemed to have forgotten.

Since the other party can be the leader of the five major families, how could he be a stupid idiot?

In the end, Luo Shen chose to take action.

For nothing else.

Just for the price offered by the other party, two million cosmic sands, plus the reward in the Flame Wind Hall which has been raised to one million cosmic sands, the total is three million cosmic sands, and with the treasure he got in the Quicksand Valley, he estimates that he can barely make up five million cosmic sands.

"With so much money, even if I can't master the fourth and fifth levels, I estimate that I won't be far behind."

After all, the smelting method itself is a secret method that requires the consumption of a large amount of resources, and Luo Shen is a perfect divine body, so he consumes even more resources.

Luo Shen asked them to pay immediately for the one million cosmic sands given by the city lord and the one million cosmic sands collected by the five major families, and to pay with resources. Otherwise, purchasing a large amount of materials for the smelting method within Huyang City in a short period of time would cause the prices of materials to rise, which would be too much of a loss for him.

After thinking it over again and again, Mo Limeng finally agreed to Luo Shen's request.

It is absolutely impossible to want the horse to run without wanting to give it grass, especially now that they need help from Luo Shen. If they refuse Luo Shen's request, the other party will at most lose some income, but Huyang City will still be in dire straits.

After all, for an eternal true god of Luo Shen's level, if he can't stay in Huyang City, he can go to other large cities in Yu State.

It has absolutely no effect on them.

But for the five major families and the City Lord's Mansion who have their roots in Huyang City, they cannot be as carefree as Luo Shen. While enjoying the convenience of power, they have to defend their power at all times.

However, two million smelting materials, this is such a huge amount of resources.

Even if the City Lord's Mansion and the five major families joined forces, it would take some time to collect the things, so Luo Shen directly sent Mo Limeng away and asked him to deliver the things as soon as possible.

As for Luo Shen, he was temporarily free from worries, so he started walking towards Yanfeng Club.

Previously, he killed the leader of the Quicksand Valley and wiped out all the bandits in the Quicksand Valley. The bounty offered by the Flame Wind Guild Hall was quite large, so Luo Shen would of course go to the Flame Wind Guild Hall to collect his share of the bounty. (End of this chapter)
