242: Chapter 240: Dongheng City seems to have lost something

Feng Yuan nodded, giving a perfunctory reply. The old man, seeing his son wasn't very interested in these matters, didn't continue speaking.

A sinister calculation flashed in his old, cloudy eyes. He waved his hand and called two guards: “You two, go see what those people are up to. If you find them doing anything detrimental to Dongheng City, eliminate them directly!”

After receiving their orders, the two black-robed figures suddenly dissolved and vanished within the palace.

Feng Yuan said with a solemn expression, “Father, is there really a need for this? If they were truly sent by Yahweh, there’s no need for them to harm us after a mere probing!”

The old man narrowed his eyes and said, “We also need to let Yahweh know our stance, don’t we? Dongheng City will never submit. He can only watch me grow old and die, but he will never conquer me! Hahaha…”

Feng Yuan felt speechless. Yahweh controlled the entire Yuan Tian Realm. If it were about conquest, he would have already conquered the entire Yuan Tian Realm long ago.

However, to protect his father's pathetic and humble self-esteem, he could only agree with him.

On the other side, Gu Shengge, Jun Mengqing, and Pei Yuhan had already left the confines of Dongheng City.

After all, that was the ruling territory of the Feng family of Dongheng City, and any slight disturbance would likely be detected.

The group was strolling along the road when they suddenly heard the sound of energy surging from behind. Everyone's expressions instantly darkened, and they all looked gravely towards the space of the mountain cave behind them.

Soon after, two figures slowly emerged. They were both Void Refining Venerables, their bodies Cohesion with powerful energy, like two volcanoes that could erupt at any moment.

Gu Shengge saw them and spoke indifferently, “What are you doing?”

One of the black-robed figures sneered, “How dare you incite the City Lord to rebel! You have immense audacity! Today, we shall eliminate you lot on behalf of the Yuan Tian Realm!”

Killing intent flickered in Jun Mengqing's eyes: “Did that old geezer send you?”

“Does it matter whether we were or not?”

“Either way, you are all about to die!”

They swiftly rushed forward, spiritual energy flashing in their hands, and a chilling killing intent swept forth, like a gentle breeze, towards everyone.

Gu Shengge silently took out the Soul Lamp imprisoning Mojie and casually threw it out.

To the two men's astonished gazes, the Soul Lamp landed before them, and Mojie's soul light flickered, as if on the verge of extinguishing.

Mojie instantly became alert. After all, he was once a half-step Mahayana existence. Even though he was now sealed within the Soul Lamp by Gu Shengge, he could still unleash terrifying power.

A bright divine light of energy suddenly flashed, and the two men's bodies seemed to freeze, suspended in the air, unable to move.

Mojie cursed furiously, “Little brat, you're still too green to try and kill your Grandpa Mo!”

He cursed as he spoke, while also activating his cultivation to constantly erode the two men's soul light. In a short while, he had absorbed all of their soul light. Their Physical Bodies fell limply to the ground, all their vitality, Qi and cultivation absorbed by Mojie.

With a “thud,” the two corpses had fallen to the ground.

Gu Shengge quickly retrieved the Soul Lamp. He hadn't expected Mojie to still be able to exert such terrifying power, having underestimated him previously.

He was now afraid that if this thing escaped his control, it would just run off. Also, that old geezer seemed to be cursing him indirectly just now!

On the surface, he was talking about those two guys, but in reality, he was secretly cursing himself in his heart!

Gu Shengge's expression was somewhat grim, and he said coldly, “Senior Mo, you had a hidden meaning in your words just now!”

Mojie's expression froze, and his soul light stopped flickering. He hurriedly said, “No, no, how could that be! I just said it casually, with no other deeper meaning.”

Gu Shengge didn't care about that. Spiritual energy surged in his hand, and a scorching energy flowed from his palm into the Soul Lamp. The next moment, Mojie's Divine Soul inside the Soul Lamp screamed out.

“Ah ah ah… Gu Shengge, I didn't do anything, why do you treat me like this!”

Gu Shengge stared at him coldly: “Not only did you kill Human Race Cultivators, but you also absorbed their Divine Souls and all their vital essence. What do you say you want to do?”

Mojie's expression darkened, and he hurriedly said, “My soul light is almost extinguished. I just absorbed some power to enhance the stability of my soul light. Is that not allowed?”

Gu Shengge nodded: “Of course it's allowed, but… This Dao Child is concerned about your cultivation recovering, so I need to weaken your power a bit now. Is that not allowed?”

Mojie was instantly speechless. Gu Shengge really wasn't giving him any chances!

He said helplessly, “No problem.”

Accompanied by Mojie's screams, his power was rapidly weakened.

Jun Mengqing, on the other hand, looked around: “Dao Child, since those guys in Dongheng City are so ungrateful, why don't we just find someone random and transfer the authority of the Eastern Cultivators, or even the entire Yuan Tian Realm, to them?”

In the shadows, two Cultivators who were monitoring Gu Shengge and Jun Mengqing heard this and saw panic in each other's eyes.

After hiding for a moment, the two quickly fled outwards, heading straight for Dongheng City.

Gu Shengge heard Jun Mengqing's suggestion and said helplessly, “Ruling a Middle Thousand Worlds isn't that simple. Cultivation alone isn't enough. This place will become the backyard of the Qiankun Taoist Sect in the future, how can we just pick anyone.”

After Mojie's power was weakened, he didn't show resentment or dissatisfaction. He said in a deep voice, “Dao Child, actually, besides Dongheng City, there is another large Human Race city.”

Gu Shengge raised an eyebrow slightly: “Where is it?”

Mojie activated a faint spiritual power, drawing out the route to Xie Fang City for Gu Shengge and Jun Mengqing.

After probing for a while, Gu Shengge immediately used the power of his Heavy Pupils to open a spatial passage and left the Dongheng City area.

In the Dongheng City palace, when Feng Yuan and the old man learned that Gu Shengge and his group planned to find someone to seize power, their expressions were very solemn. But when they heard that they intended to casually find someone to seize the power of Dongheng City, they all showed disdainful smiles.

Old Man Feng said disdainfully, “Even if they go to the Wang family of Xie Fang City, they can’t seize the power of Dongheng City. These Cultivators from the Qiongsang Domain are too young. Their actions are truly… incredibly naive. My son, where did you meet them?”

Feng Yuan said with a forced smile, “Just outside the city, I met them on the roadside. But their cultivation is indeed very strong, Father… I feel that these people, whose origins are unknown, are very suspicious. We still need to be careful.”

Old Man Feng said disdainfully, “Heh heh, it’s fine. He is only at the Soul Transformation Heavenly Human Realm. Although he can contend with the Void Refining Realm, against the Hedao Realm, they are still nothing but ants. It’s fine… it’s fine!”
