Setting a Killing Trap

Title Conferment Mission (Law Master Tier) Location: God King Valley

Mission Content: God King Valley is where the great God King once lived and where the Wuqishen was forged. Within God King Valley stands a tower, Wuqi Tower, nine stories high. The ninth story is the pinnacle, and to this day, only the God King has ever entered it. The mission objective is to… enter Wuqi Tower and ascend to the ninth story. Those who reach the top will be granted a title!

Reward: Returning alive grants 10,000 military merit. Success will result in a title conferment and endless benefits.

Penalty: No penalty for failure.

Important Reminder: This mission is extremely dangerous. Participants are the top Law Masters from the Jinzhi World's Four Armies, each having undergone extensive tempering and thorough preparation. The average mortality rate in previous attempts has reached 90%. Exercise extreme caution.

...

The Title Conferment Mission appears simple, with no penalty for failure.

However, in reality, the extremely high death rate is the most terrifying penalty! Everyone who accepts a Title Conferment Mission knows this mortality rate. Almost all of them prepare palace-type supreme true treasures, or even mechanical-type true treasures, yet so many still die...

“I must not be careless.”

“If I die, and my Golden Claw God, Tomb Mausoleum Boat, Blood Shadow Blade, Python River Army combat armor, and other items are taken by other soldiers, that would be a joke,” Luo Feng secretly reminded himself.

“This mission is very simple. As long as you new recruits don't act recklessly, you can easily pass this mission!” the captain's voice came from nearby.

“Last time was a disaster-level mission, and we all survived by following the captain. You nine new recruits… why aren't you coming over quickly?”

“We are willing to accept you.”

“Still not coming?”

The captain and his soldiers called out.

“Hmph, following you, even if we don't die this time, we will eventually,” Kufa said coldly. “Haven't you guys learned your lesson? If Yuluo and I hadn't teamed up last time, forcing the captain not to abandon you, do you think you would have survived?”

The nine new recruits immediately hesitated.

“I want to be with Kufa and them,” Wuhe shouted from the side.

Luo Feng, who was contemplating the Title Conferment Mission, turned his head to see that the situation had clearly become hostile, with the captain's faction and Kufa's faction. Wuhe had also joined Kufa's group, leaving only the nine hesitant new recruits. These new recruits even looked at Luo Feng, sensing that both the captain and Kufa were wary of him.

“Being with Kufa and them, at least, if Kufa wants to abandon you, she doesn't have the strength to do so,” Luo Feng said softly.

As soon as these words were spoken,

The already hesitant new recruits immediately began to walk towards Kufa's group. With the first one joining Kufa, the other new recruits followed suit. They also felt that Yinhe's words made sense; in terms of strength, Kufa was inferior to the captain, and Kufa didn't have the ability to manipulate such a large group of soldiers.

“Yinhe! Are you trying to oppose the captain?”

“Yinhe!”

Immediately, the soldiers under the captain roared. The captain remained silent, but his gray eyes beneath his curved horns stared intently at Luo Feng.

“Oppose your captain?” Luo Feng glanced at the captain, chuckling lightly. “Is he worthy?”

The soldiers' eyes widened, and the captain's face instantly turned extremely ugly: “Yinhe!”

“No time to waste talking with you. Kufa, Wuhe… let's go,” Luo Feng said with a smile, greeting Kufa and Wuhe, then flew directly towards the distorted space wormhole not far away.

Kufa's group of soldiers still held a grudge against Luo Feng for not trading with them back then… but they also knew that if the captain's group couldn't do anything to Yinhe, they certainly couldn't. Moreover, they didn't have a mortal enmity with Yinhe. The enemy of my enemy should be my friend.

“Let's go.”

“Let's go.” Kufa, Wuhe, and their group also moved grandly, flying directly into the space wormhole.

The captain's group of soldiers looked grim.

“Captain, are we just letting Yinhe go?”

“If we indulge Yinhe like this, he will continue to contend with you, Captain. Now our side has less than 10 soldiers, while Kufa's side has the most. If Yinhe continues to stir up trouble… you, Captain, will lose all your prestige. We can't indulge Yinhe like this.”

“Captain…” The veteran soldiers looked at the captain.

The captain said indifferently, “No need to bother with him for now.”

Whoosh!

The captain led the way into the wormhole. The other veteran soldiers exchanged glances. How could the proud and ruthless captain be so lenient with 'Yinhe'? Could the captain truly be so wary of Yinhe? Many thoughts began to surface in the minds of these veteran soldiers, and they too flew into the wormhole one by one.

...

In an area outside the East Army camp, numerous space wormhole exits were gathered.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Batches of soldiers emerged from the wormholes, conversing with each other, then piloting their warships, they quickly departed.

Not far from this area, on an ancient tree, a gray armored soldier was watching.

“So many going out on missions,” the gray armored soldier transmitted. “You say, how long do we have to keep watching like this?”

“The previous epoch just ended, and a new epoch has just begun. All squads are setting out to perform army missions; it's the most frantic time… Luo Feng will likely depart at this time too. The Ancestor specifically ordered ten of us to monitor the surroundings… endure these hundred years, and then we can go on missions,” said a soldier leaning against another tree not far away, appearing relaxed but also intently watching the large area.

At this moment—

In the Purple Moon Holy Land Universe, a total of ten Universe Masters were monitoring the surrounding area.

This was the peak period for soldiers to go out, and Luo Feng's probability of appearing was highest. How could they be careless? Even if they weren't on a mission themselves, they had to keep watching.

“Look, it's the Blood Ochre Army.”

“Keep watching, that's a special legion. Luo Feng is most likely to appear in a special legion.”

Among the large number of emerging soldiers, special legion soldiers occasionally appeared.

As time passed...

Occasionally a small squad of special legion soldiers, then another small squad, and finally...

Boom!

Accompanied by a group of figures flying out from one of the wormhole exits.

“It's the Python River Army, also a special legion. Keep watching.” Six of the ten Universe Masters from the Purple Moon Holy Land Universe who were on watch immediately focused on this direction.

The group of figures flew out one after another, all wearing Python River Army standard combat armor. Their identity could be determined solely from this armor! The first batch of Universe Masters from the Purple Moon Holy Land had entered and managed to ascertain some of the special legions within the East Army.

“Yinhe, let's part ways here.”

“Yinhe, if you're not coming with us on this mission, where are you going?”

Wuhe and Kufa spoke consecutively.

“I have something important to do,” Luo Feng said with a smile. Because it was a normal conversation, neither Luo Feng, Wuhe, nor Kufa used secretive transmissions; they spoke openly.

...

The six Universe Masters from the Purple Moon Holy Land were all watching. When they saw Luo Feng, they didn't immediately realize he was the target, because in this army, Luo Feng's appearance had slightly changed, his skin tone was also slightly different, making him appear rougher. Coupled with being fully covered in Python River armor and wearing a helmet, he wasn't recognizable at first glance.

However, as Luo Feng and the others spoke, although the distance was far and they couldn't hear clearly, the six Universe Masters could easily determine what was being said by 'reading their lips'!

“Yinhe?”

This name immediately triggered them.

“Target, appearance similar to a human! It's very likely to be Lord Yinhe Luo Feng.”

“Track him.”

“Immediately verify.”

Soon, one of the ten Universe Masters guarding from afar separated. A seemingly ordinary gray armored soldier transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the space wormhole area where many soldiers were concentrated.

Whoosh!

Because there were so many soldiers around, Luo Feng paid no attention to that ordinary soldier as he flew past.

“Hmm?” Luo Feng's brow furrowed, and he turned to look.

The aura…

This aura was one he recognized. There were only so many powerful beings in the Universe Ocean; thousands of Universe Masters had gathered to stop that colossal entity. Luo Feng naturally knew many Universe Masters, and the one just now was among them.

“Judging by the aura, it should be from the Purple Moon Holy Land. What a coincidence? To encounter one here,” Luo Feng secretly wondered. “It seems he must have discovered me too, but even if he did… in this place, it's not up to their Purple Moon Holy Land.”

Luo Feng didn't take the Purple Moon Holy Land seriously.

After all, the rules of the Jinzhi World were set by the army; what was the Purple Moon Holy Land anyway?

“I'm off!”

Luo Feng then piloted a warship, quickly breaking through the air and departing.

...

As the gray armored soldier flew past Luo Feng, he instantly confirmed: “It's Luo Feng's aura, his aura! That Python River Army soldier just now was Luo Feng, confirmed, it's Luo Feng!”

“Message confirmed.”

“Immediately report to the Ancestor.”

...

The extremely excited group of Universe Masters from the Purple Moon Holy Land immediately reported the news to the Purple Moon Ancestor.

Universe Ocean, Purple Moon Holy Land Universe.

Above the grand hall.

A purple-clad figure stood there, with ten Universe Masters kneeling below.

“Confirmed, it's Luo Feng?” The purple figure looked down.

“Yes, it is Luo Feng. His name in the Jinzhi World is Yinhe! And I personally flew past him and sensed his life aura; it is Luo Feng's Earthling divine body,” one of the kneeling Universe Masters respectfully replied.

“Very good.”

Purple Moon Ancestor nodded slightly. “Since he is confirmed to be a Python River Army soldier, immediately find out which brigade and which squad of the Python River Army he belongs to. It must be absolutely clear.”

“Yes!”

All below responded.

This was easy; there were only so many Python River Army soldiers, and with his name and appearance… it would naturally be easy to find out.

“After finding out, do not act hastily,” Purple Moon Ancestor instructed. “Once confirmed, wait silently. Wait for Luo Feng to return to the army camp. Once Luo Feng returns to the camp… then activate the killing trap! If we activate it prematurely, and the Hong Alliance finds out and notifies Luo Feng… it would be bad if he escapes. Wait until he returns to the camp, falls into the killing trap, and cannot escape!”

“Yes!”

The ten soldiers all respectfully responded.
