The Lord of Yuanzhong who Devours the Starry Sky

Cave No. 997, main building.

Li Qi was practicing with his eyes closed on the top floor of the main building.

"Master, master!" Navenmore hurriedly sent a message before he flew to the main building.

"What happened?" Li Qi opened his eyes.

Swish!
Naven Moore appeared in the building and said hurriedly, "Master, I just got news from Yaoyue Tower that the Menglin City officials might want to take action against Yaoyue Tower."

"What information did you get from Yaoyue Tower?" Li Qi was surprised.

Are the officials of Menglin City so unreliable? Even an eternal true god like Naven Moore who only cares about eating, drinking and having fun can be found out in Yaoyue Tower. Doesn't Yaoyue Tower have known about it a long time ago?

"The news was obtained from Yaoyue Tower, but the person who disclosed the news was not from Yaoyue Tower..." Navenmore explained, "It was from the Chu family, one of the three major families in Menglin City."

"The Chu family?" Li Qi asked, "How did you get involved with the Chu family?"

"This is what happened..." Naven Moore told how he met Chu Feilin.

Li Qi listened and nodded slightly.

"I heard from Chu Feilin that his sister Chu Yuwei, the disciple of Yanli Hou, has returned from Yanli City."

Navenmore said, "From what he said, I can be sure that he will be banned from coming to Yaoyue Tower in the future, and it seems that the other two disciples of Yanli Hou have also returned."

"The three major families in Menglin City are Chu, Long, and Hanye." Li Qi narrowed his eyes and thought in his heart, "These three major families were able to take power in Menglin City because some of their descendants became disciples of Marquis Yanli."

Chu, Long, Hanye, these three families are not bad in strength. Each family has many eternal true gods, otherwise they would not have the opportunity to take power in Menglin City.

However, in Menglin City, there are several families with similar strength, but no one in their family has become a disciple of Yanli Hou.

"If only Chu Yuwei from the Chu family came back, she might use the fact that she missed her younger brother who depended on her when she was young as a reason to return to Menglin City."

Li Qi said softly, "But if Long Lingyu, Han Ye and Le Yao are back, then it's a bit intriguing. It's possible that they are heading for Yaoyue Tower."

"Yes, so I rushed back as soon as I got the news." Navenmore nodded in agreement.

There are several dark forces in Menglin City, but these dark forces have been completely trained by the Menglin City officials. They pay high taxes and dare not resist at all.

To teach those dark forces a lesson, there is no need for Chu Yuwei, Long Lingyu, Han Ye and Le Yao to come back. The eight legions of Menglin City alone are enough.

But the situation in Yaoyue Tower is different. There are eight Eternal True Gods alone, and half of them followed Lord Mist from the Dongji Region. All of them are very powerful.

More importantly, Lord Mist is a disciple of the God King!
……

"Master, if the Menglin City officials really take action against Yaoyue Tower, wouldn't we be breaking our promise to that little guy?" Naven Moore whispered.

"In my opinion, the Menglin City officials will not take action easily." Li Qi thought, "After all, Lord Wu'ai is a disciple of the God King. There is no evidence to prove that Lord Wu'ai has performed a blood sacrifice again. If the Menglin City officials take action, it will be a reason to cause trouble for Lord Wu'ai."

"Blood sacrifice?" Navenmore was shocked. "Lord of the Mist still wants a blood sacrifice?!"

He had also read the information about the major forces in Menglin City and knew the identity and background of Lord Mist.

What Navenmore didn't expect was that after the blood sacrifice in the East Territory, Lord Mist wanted to perform a blood sacrifice in Menglin City.

"Everyone would be wary of an Eternal True God who has a history of blood sacrifices." Li Qi said softly, "But for now, the Flame Wind Hall has no information about the arrangements for the blood sacrifice of Lord Mist. This may be the reason why the Menglin City officials let Yaoyue Tower go."

"Is that so?" Navenmore seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly asked in confusion, "Master, didn't the Lord of Mist take the route of comprehending the laws? Will the blood sacrifice really work for him?"

"It's true that he is taking the route of comprehending the laws, but Lord Mist may also switch to the bloodline route, otherwise he would not have committed the heinous crime of blood sacrifice in the Dongji Region." Li Qi said softly.

The blood sacrifice is a sacrifice made through various arrangements using the lives of a large number of creatures from the Origin Continent, allowing one person to use the original power of a large number of creatures to impact a higher level of bloodline.

Generally speaking, practitioners who follow the path of comprehending the laws often sneer at blood sacrifices, because the efficiency of such arrangements is far inferior to that of simply swallowing!

“That is to say, Lord Mist might have switched to cultivating his bloodline in the Eastern Region, which is why he committed the heinous crime of blood sacrifice.” Navenmore nodded in realization.

"It's possible." Li Qi replied.

If Lord Mist does not acknowledge it, it is difficult for outsiders to know whether he is following the law of perception or the bloodline route.

"Go back to Yaoyue Tower and keep an eye on it." Li Qi took out a token and handed it to Navenmore, saying, "If anything happens to Yaoyue Tower, crush this token. I will come here immediately when I sense it."

"Master, if the Menglin City government blocks Yaoyue Tower, will it be..." Navenmore's face showed a little worry, fearing that after the blockade, the token would not be sensed if he crushed it.

"Don't worry, I will take the initiative to attack once I have mastered my secret method. The officials of Menglin City may not be as fast as me." Li Qi said with a smile, "Okay, go ahead."

"Understood." Navenmore agreed, put away the token, and turned into a stream of light and left.

Seeing Naven Moore flying away, Li Qi continued to close his eyes and practice "Seven Wonders of Life". This is the second move that can be practiced by the Eternal True God. It belongs to the Chaos Realm level. If he practices it well, his strength will increase greatly.

As for the whereabouts of Long Lingyu and Han Ye Le Yao, he did not purchase the information through the Dark Palace token. Regardless of whether the officials of Menglin City will take action or not, he will not let go of Yaoyue Tower and Lord of Mist!
After all, the total bounty on Lord Mist in the Dark Palace alone has reached 137 million cosmic sands!

……

Time passed, and a century passed in the blink of an eye.

When Li Qi was still in seclusion, in a secret room in a side building of Yaoyue Tower.

"One-eyed Lord, Flame-feeding Lord."

The Lord of Mist, wearing a blood-red robe and having long dark red hair, was standing up to welcome the arrival of the two Eternal True Gods.

The one-eyed god is a burly man with one eye, wearing a blood-red robe with dark golden armor underneath.

The Lord of Feeding Flames is a thin young man wearing dark green clothes embroidered with several black flames.

"Lord of Mist." The two gods lowered their heads slightly.

“I didn’t expect that my senior brother would send you to help me.” Lord Mist had a faint smile on his face.

The two Eternal True Gods before him were disciples of his senior brother, the Lord of Chaos, and their strength was slightly weaker than his.

"Teacher hopes that you, Lord Mist, can break through as soon as possible." The One-Eyed Lord said in a low voice.

Shi Yan Shenjun continued: "The teacher also promised that as long as you break through, he will intervene and give you the opportunity to return to the blood lake where the master cultivated."

"Thank you very much, Senior Brother." Lord Mist looked somewhat touched, and then said with a smile, "You came from the Holy Land to Qi Country, I think the journey must have been tiring, I will have someone prepare food for you."

"Thank you." The One-Eyed Lord bowed. "Thank you for your hospitality." The Shiyan Lord had a little expectation on his face.

"Xie Le." Lord Misty God transmitted his voice to the outside of the secret room through special means, "You will arrange accommodation for the two Lords later, and have someone go catch some food. Hurry!"

"Yes." Lord Xiele outside the secret room responded.

"Please come in, both of you. Someone will take you to your respective residences outside." Lord Mist said.

"Yes." Lord Shiyan nodded slightly, while Lord One-Eyed turned around silently and walked out of the secret room.

After the two gods went away, the smiling face of the God of Mist quickly turned cold.

"Blood sacrifice, blood sacrifice, blood sacrifice!"

Lord Misty's expression was icy, and his eyes were filled with endless anger. "Sending two Eternal True Gods to watch me, they are definitely forcing me to the bloodline route!"

His senior brother was really going too far. He didn't have much talent in comprehending the laws, so it would have been fine if he had taken the bloodline route, but he was forcing him to follow the bloodline route as well.

The last time the blood sacrifice was discovered, it was because he did it on purpose. After the teacher knew about it, he let him leave the Dongji Region, but he still couldn't escape being persecuted.

Lord Mist was valued by his teacher because he followed the path of laws and became the teacher's seventeenth disciple. However, he accidentally offended his senior brother, the Great Sage Guandu, and was forced to follow the path of bloodline.

Moreover, the other party even said that it was for his own good. After all, it was easier to become the Lord of Chaos through bloodline.

"This is too much! This is really too much!" The eyes of the God of Mist were cold, and he wished he could kill the two disciples of the Great Sage Guandu.

Unfortunately, he doesn’t dare now!
Because the Great Sage Guandu is a descendant of a large family in the Dongji Region. There is a God King ancestor in his family, and his strength is stronger than that of his teacher, the Blood Lake God King.

"When I become the Lord of Chaos, I will return to my teacher's tutelage, and then we can have fun slowly..." The eyes of Lord Mist were filled with anger.

After becoming the Lord of Chaos, he will be one of the few Chaos Realm masters under his teacher's tutelage and will definitely be protected by his teacher.

Although his teacher's strength is not as good as that of the ancestor of the Great Sage Guandu, he is not afraid. After all, his teacher practices the origin of life and is good at saving lives!
……

Menglin City, the secret room in the City Lord’s Mansion.

This was a secret room of considerable size, with a huge throne inside. Three beautiful women sat on the throne, each looking at a document on the stone table in front of the throne.

They are Chu Yuwei, Long Lingyu, Han Ye Le Yao, and disciples of Yanli Hou.

Opposite the stone table stood three Eternal True Gods who had restrained their breath. They were the rulers of the three major and minor families in Menglin City.

On the throne, three beautiful women looked at the tax situation of Menglin City in the past century on the stone table, and then looked across.

"Haven't you found the blood sacrifice formation set up by Yaoyue Tower yet?" Chu Yuwei spoke first.

"We have sent people to search secretly, but have found nothing unusual." An Eternal True God replied, "The Dark Palace has no clues about Yaoyue Tower setting up the blood sacrifice formation."

"This is strange..." Han Ye and Le Yao whispered in their hearts, "The teacher sent us to Menglin City because he was sure that the God of Mist would perform a blood sacrifice. The God of Mist also had a precedent of blood sacrifice, but now there is no movement."

"Since no blood sacrifice formation was found, that's good news." Long Lingyu's soft voice sounded, "Continue to have people investigate secretly. Although it can't be hidden from Yaoyue Tower, it can still have a deterrent effect."

"Well, we will continue to send people to look for clues." The Eternal True God responded.

"Except for Yu Wei, the news of our return should not have been announced yet?" Long Lingyu said softly, "Announce the news of our return to Menglin City, and add a 10% tax to those bedbugs."

"Add 10% tax?"

"In this way, the tax amount reaches 66%."

"If we increase the tax rate, they will squeeze us even more crazily, and there might be chaos."

The three eternal true gods were somewhat resistant.

"It's not 66%, it's 70%." Long Lingyu's voice was still soft, "We came back from Yanli City, we can't make a wasted trip."

"This……"

The three Eternal True Gods looked at each other, and saw worry in each other's eyes.

A 60% tax rate is already very high, and the eternal true gods behind the dark forces all complain that they earn too little.

Now that the tax amount has been increased to 70%, it will definitely cause a backlash from the Eternal True God behind the dark forces. Although Long Lingyu announced the return of the three of them, there was also an intention of suppression in it.

If the eternal true gods of the dark forces are allowed to exploit them madly, sooner or later the weak true gods and void true gods in Menglin City will get into trouble, and they may even flee to other cities.

You know, Yanli Chaos State has not only two large cities, but also many medium and small cities. It’s just that the latter two do not have the blessing of the Ruins of Chaos, so the effect of comprehending the laws is not that powerful.

"This is the plan we three decided on. Is there any problem?" Long Lingyu's eyes fell on the three Eternal True Gods below.

"No problem!" The three Eternal True Gods answered in unison.

What problem could they have? The family was able to take power in Menglin City because of the three above. At the same time, they were no match for these three. So what if they had some objections?

"Okay, let's arrange everything." Long Lingyu started to drive people away.

Upon hearing this, the three Eternal True Gods had no choice but to turn around and leave.

"Hmph, allowing those bugs to exist is the greatest kindness we can show them. What's the big deal about collecting more taxes?" Long Lingyu snorted.

"You should discuss this with us." Chu Yuwei shook her head slightly. "Those dark forces earn resources by exploiting the True Gods and the Void True Gods. The more taxes we collect, the more they exploit us. Over time, there will definitely be trouble."

"Sixty percent is enough to make those bugs feel uncomfortable. That's how the rebellions happened." Han Ye Le Yao said softly, "Now there is a 70 percent chance that something bad will happen. Maybe there will be an Eternal True God who is going to squeeze them hard and then run away with the resources he has squeezed."

"This is indeed a problem. It seems that the legion needs to exercise stricter control over the city gates." Long Lingyu frowned slightly.

Being sent to Menglin City this time made her realize the crisis. If they couldn't resolve the issue of Lord Mist, they would lose all their power, so they wanted to exploit the dark forces to earn resources.

"Everything has been arranged, let's do it." Han Ye Le Yao couldn't help but shook his head.

The three of them have the same interests and will not make any cuts unless it is absolutely necessary. They will naturally leave the decision to Long Lingyu on minor matters.
