509: Will a real dragon save him?
Whether Looking Up at the Stars Faction simply wanted to show off or whatever else, we'll set that aside for now.
His strength was, after all, a solid Rank Five, a great demon who had achieved a Demon Body; even if a Cultivator from the Green Feather Sect met him, they would likely call him "Immortal Master" out of courtesy.
To say nothing of this Stone City Luo Family, who could regard the Spirit Nurturing Realm as earthly Immortals.
Led by the Luo Family Head, the Luo Family Disciples all knelt down, and the native Live Targets and Household retainers followed suit.
Luo Daonan did not hesitate and knelt down as well.
In the end, only the players who had revealed their identities as Heavenly Demons and Luo Zheng remained, looking at Looking Up at the Stars Faction in surprise.
Before anyone else could speak, Looking Up at the Stars Faction spoke first:
"Before this Venerable One arrived, I heard that internal strife had broken out in the Luo Family and a branch lineage actually dared to usurp power. Today, I have come to set things right and clear the source!"
"Luo Zheng, come with me. Stand on the high platform. This Venerable One hereby declares you the Luo Family Head!"
The Luo Family Disciples were horrified.
The Luo Family Head suddenly jumped up and shouted:
"Immortal, although my Stone City Luo Family is weak, we are an affiliated Family of the Green Feather Sect. Although our internal affairs are decided by us, they still require the recognition of the Main Sect."
He did not know Looking Up at the Stars Faction's cultivation level, nor did he know that even if word reached the Green Feather Sect, they likely wouldn't offend a Rank Five Immortal Master for the sake of a Mortal Family head.
He only thought the person before him was, at most, a Rank Nine Cultivator who just wanted to take advantage of the Luo Family.
Although such people were rare, they did indeed exist in the long history of the Eastern Region.
To deal with such a shameless Cultivator, one had to invoke the name of the Main Sect and use its power to intimidate him.
However, Looking Up at the Stars Faction only snorted and cast a glance over.
In the next moment, the Luo Family Head's limbs were broken, his entire body twisted into a bizarre posture. Yet, he was left with a breath of life and thrown before Luo Zheng.
"Family Head Luo, how should this rebel be handled?"
Luo Zheng was dazed.
Normally, someone like him who had hit rock bottom would surely need many twists and turns to counterattack from a desperate situation and then personally kill his enemies for revenge.
Perhaps he would even need to go out to some mountain range for training, study at some academy, or even go to some Sect to participate in competitions, returning for revenge only after reaching the peak of his Realm.
But now, he had done nothing, and his enemy was laid out right before his eyes.
Luo Zheng was instead bewildered, somewhat at a loss for what to do.
Suddenly, a Luo Family Disciple actually jumped out recklessly and shouted angrily:
"Senior, although you are an Immortal, your actions are far too overbearing!"
"I see you don't know yet that the Family Head is Young Master Haoran's father, and Young Master Haoran is an Inner Sect Disciple of the Green Feather Sect with boundless prospects, deeply favored by the Sect Elders."
"How dare you treat the Family Head like this! Once Young Master Haoran finds out, he will definitely not let you off easy!"
"I advise you to release the Family Head immediately and leave our Luo Family!"
Looking Up at the Stars Faction sneered. "Interesting. Would the Green Feather Sect really go to war with me for the sake of a Disciple who relied on pills to advance?"
With that, a single glance from him instantly turned that Disciple into fly ash.
The gap in cultivation Realms was too vast; the two sides could almost be said to be different species.
Seeing this scene, Luo Zheng's eyes burned with intensity.
This was the Xuanhuan World, where cultivation determined everything.
Those who once relied on schemes to drag him into the abyss were like ants before a truly powerful being, without any means of resistance.
Cultivate! Become stronger!
At this moment, the goal in his heart was clearer than ever before.
Looking Up at the Stars Faction spoke again:
"Luo Zheng, your sister is indeed being imprisoned in the Green Feather Sect. However, I have looked into it, and there might be hidden circumstances. Once you have settled the Luo Family's affairs, I can recommend you to enter the Green Feather Sect to find your sister."
Looking Up at the Stars Faction had clearly come prepared, having investigated much information in advance, and might even have made a deal with the Green Feather Sect.
Luo Daonan guessed that he wanted to invest in Luo Zheng, and with an unprecedented level of investment.
The other players thought so too and couldn't help but look at Luo Zheng in surprise, wondering about his identity.
Regardless, the Luo Family's matters were soon settled, and the players were politely invited out.
Luo Zheng then cleaned up the mess, ended the Live Target system, and allowed people like Luo Daonan to serve as normal servants, no longer bound by death contracts.
After he had settled the Luo Family's affairs somewhat and entrusted some matters to Luo Daonan...
He then followed Looking Up at the Stars Faction toward the Green Feather Sect.
Everyone thought the matter had ended there.
But they were wrong.
Not long after Looking Up at the Stars Faction took Luo Zheng away.
A dragon's roar suddenly rang out from the sky.
The high-pitched dragon's roar traveled extremely far, shaking the entire Eastern Region, including the East Sea.
The beasts in the forest prostrated themselves, intimidated by the dragon's might. Mortals were also dazed for a moment, and some carriage drivers even drove straight into stone walls.
East Sea Dragon Descendant stood on a deserted island, his whole body stiff, his gaze vacant. His blood almost stopped flowing, and his heart nearly stopped beating. A terrifying suppression originating from his Bloodline left him unable to move.
Many Immortal Masters and True Monarchs were even more shocked, their expressions changing drastically as they flew toward the source of the dragon's roar like madmen.
They searched for several months, and even several great battles broke out, but in the end, they found nothing.
However, unlike the Lightning Tribulation of the Kongming Grotto-Heaven, this time everyone had truly felt the dragon's roar—and an incredibly powerful one at that, which even interfered with their Innate Divine Powers.
They dared to assert that even if it wasn't a legendary True Dragon, it must be a Dragon Species or Dragon Kin with an extremely powerful Bloodline, or perhaps a treasure left behind by the dragon lineage.
No matter what it was, in a place like the Prison Land, it represented immense wealth. Many even believed it was the key to a Breakthrough.
Furthermore, the matter continued to ferment, spreading toward the center of the continent. It seemed more powerful experts were concerned about this, and for a time, undercurrents surged.
In the Stone City Luo Family, when Luo Daonan heard of this event, his mind went blank.
Could there be such a coincidence?
The dragon's roar suddenly appeared shortly after Looking Up at the Stars Faction took Luo Zheng away?
He hurriedly messaged Looking Up at the Stars Faction, but there was no response, as if the person had vanished from the face of the earth.
He then used the Stone City Luo Family's connections to inquire about Luo Zheng, wanting to know if he had reached the Green Feather Sect.
As it turned out, Luo Zheng had indeed arrived at the Green Feather Sect, but he had gone alone and was thus blocked outside the mountain gate; there was no recommendation from any Immortal Master.
Luo Daonan broke out in a cold sweat.
He had likely guessed the truth.
That dragon's roar definitely had something to do with Luo Zheng.
Looking Up at the Stars Faction wasn't investing in Luo Zheng; he wanted to kill him and take his place!
He had deliberately crippled the Luo Family Head and taken Luo Zheng away, only to strike boldly when Luo Zheng fully trusted him.
His Rank Five Realm was worlds apart from Luo Zheng's, and he had even carefully laid out a plan; there was simply no possibility of failure.
But the outcome was that Looking Up at the Stars Faction was utterly defeated, while Luo Zheng appeared at the Green Feather Sect unharmed.
"Could a Dragon Kin or Dragon Species have saved Luo Zheng? It couldn't possibly be a True Dragon that saved him, right?"
Luo Daonan shuddered. He suddenly felt that the power of these children of destiny far exceeded their expectations.
