An Email

Inside the ruined courtyard of the Luo Clan's old residence.

Yanzhu King stood there, gazing indifferently at Luo Feng.

Beside him stood five other King-level Undyings and twelve Marquis-level beings. Compared to Yanzhu King's formidable presence, Luo Feng's side was truly weak. Even Dilun, though perhaps barely possessing Marquis-level strength, hadn't officially achieved the Marquis rank yet.

“The weak are bullied! The law of the jungle truly is the iron rule of survival.” Pushed to this point, though rage filled his chest, Luo Feng could still clearly analyze the situation. “Yanzhu King probably doesn't even consider a small fry like me. In his eyes, I'm just a minor genius from a native planet.”

“He just doesn't want to kill me because he suspects… Dilun and I must have activated the Virtual Universe Network's synchronized transmission. If he makes a move, the Virtual Universe Company will have irrefutable evidence, and even if he doesn't die, he'll be in serious trouble.”

“But in the end, it all comes down to strength!”

“He has a powerful father, so even if he kills me, he'll at most face punishment! Insufficient strength means being bullied—that's the law of the jungle!” Luo Feng's desire to become stronger intensified.

If he were at the peak of the Sector Lord stage, he could kill Marquis-level beings and contend with King-level ones.

A genius of that caliber…

Even Blazefire Venerable wouldn't dare act recklessly, because such a super genius would undoubtedly be cherished by the Virtual Universe Company.

…

“Two paths, choose one!” Yanzhu King roared.

Luo Feng scoffed, “Yanzhu King, threatening me with Earth's humans is beneath you.”

“I told you to choose!” Yanzhu King's pressure swept out like surging waves, directly bearing down on Luo Feng, clearly enraged.

“Then I'll tell you the truth,” Luo Feng said, looking at Yanzhu King. “Just today, not long ago, your Giant Axe Martial Arena's 'Undying Venerable' contacted me through the Virtual Universe Network, also wanting to purchase the Milky Way Galaxy. Although I resisted, Undying Venerable's pressure was too terrifying… I ultimately yielded.”

“What?” Yanzhu King's handsome face was filled with astonishment.

“Undying Venerable?” The green-haired, single-horned elder beside him was also greatly surprised.

“Undying Venerable, of all people?”

All six King-level Undyings, including Yanzhu King, were intimidated by the name Undying Venerable.

“Don't try to fool me,” Yanzhu King sneered, looking at Luo Feng. “If you sold the Milky Way Galaxy to Undying Venerable, then the ownership registration would show Undying Venerable as the Milky Way Lord. But I've been monitoring that ownership registration through the Virtual Universe Network, and it hasn't changed.”

Luo Feng calmly replied, “Because Undying Venerable is currently en route to Earth. Only when we meet in person and he bestows treasures upon me will the ownership transfer officially take place. Although it hasn't been transferred yet, Undying Venerable and I have an agreement, and of course, I wouldn't dare violate it. Yanzhu King, you can go find Undying Venerable; if he agrees to give it to you, I naturally have no objections.”

“Lies, you're lying!” Yanzhu King's eyes flickered.

However, many thoughts surfaced in his mind.

It's highly possible.

Undying Venerable's status within the Giant Axe Martial Arena was even higher than his father, Blazefire Venerable, so it was normal for him to learn about Earth. And given Undying Venerable's eccentric personality… he might genuinely want to bestow treasures before transferring ownership of the Milky Way Galaxy.

“Who cares,” Yanzhu King thought to himself. “I'll get ownership of Earth first. Even if questions arise later… I'll just say I thought Luo Feng was lying at the time.” He continued, “Besides, Undying Venerable is a maverick, without factions. Although he's a top-tier member of the Giant Axe Martial Arena, he doesn't form cliques. But my father has considerable influence within the Giant Axe Martial Arena. If Earth's ownership ends up in my father's hands, as long as it's legal, Undying Venerable won't be able to do anything even if he's displeased.”

…

In the ruined courtyard of the Luo Clan's old residence, only a few stone stools remained intact.

Luo Feng, however, suddenly sat down leisurely.

He could tell that Yanzhu King was panicking.

“Kid,” Yanzhu King transmitted, a muscle twitching at the corner of his eye as he watched Luo Feng sit. “I know you're fearless, and I know you've activated the Virtual Universe Network's synchronized transmission. But I'm not stupid; I won't directly attack you. However, to tell you the truth, I don't need to act personally; I can have others do it. I've already left three Undying slaves in space outside Earth—they are my soul slaves. I'll arrange for one of them to kill you directly. What if your Virtual Universe Network transmission records it? At most, it will record an Undying killing you, but it won't be me!”

“And there'll be no evidence to prove they're my slaves.”

“As for your guard, Dilun, a few of us can forcibly restrain him, preventing him from helping you.”

“Then, boom!”

“You die! Ownership of the Milky Way Galaxy will be inherited by your son, and I naturally have ways to make your son transfer the Milky Way Galaxy's ownership to me.” Yanzhu King transmitted, looking at Luo Feng. “Once you're dead, without the protective status of a Virtual Universe Company Primal Secret Region member, aren't your children mine to manipulate? As for Undying Venerable… it will take at least three to five days for him to arrive. By then, the deed will already be done.”

Luo Feng's expression changed, and he couldn't help but stare at Yanzhu King.

Yanzhu King smiled at Luo Feng and continued to transmit, “Haha, I'm transmitting this to you now, and the Virtual Universe Network's synchronized transmission can't detect it at all. What can you do to me?”

“Kid.”

“Don't resist anymore. I just don't want to cause more trouble. If I were willing to risk being punished and imprisoned in a star-domain prison, I would have punched you to death long ago. Killing you would, at most, result in punishment.” Yanzhu King looked at Luo Feng with a hint of pity. “You bow your head, and everyone benefits, right?”

Luo Feng sat on the stone stool, but a sliver of his consciousness had already connected to the Virtual Universe Network.

…

In Luo Feng's manor within the Yuxiang Mountain Primal Region of the Virtual Universe.

Inside the study.

Although he was undergoing Virtual Universe Network synchronized transmission, Luo Feng was also quickly writing an email.

“Venerable,

For reasons unknown, Undying Venerable from the Giant Axe Martial Arena came to demand the Milky Way Galaxy and Earth from me. I would rather die than yield, but fortunately, Undying Venerable did not press the matter, only requesting an island on Earth.

However, as I write this email, on my home planet, Earth, Yanzhu King and five other King-level Undyings, along with twelve Marquis-level beings from the Giant Axe Martial Arena, have already arrived. They are threatening me with the lives of countless of my compatriots, forcing me to transfer Earth to them, or else they will arrange for an Undying slave to kill me, so they can obtain Earth's ownership from my son, who holds the right of inheritance.

I am powerless to resist.

Powerless!

Esteemed Venerable, I hope you can uphold justice.”

Luo Feng quickly finished writing this email through his thoughts and sent it directly to 'Nine Swords Venerable'.

Nine Swords Venerable had presided over his genius battle, so he was considered Nine Swords Venerable's subordinate. Sending this email to 'Sky Eclipse Palace Master' would seem like overstepping his authority. Furthermore, Sky Eclipse Palace Master had only given him guidance once, and he only knew the network ID of the Undying under Sky Eclipse Palace Master who had received him back then.

He didn't know Sky Eclipse Palace Master's ID.

“Send it nine times,” Luo Feng said, sitting at his desk, looking at the laptop screen. The email had already been sent to Nine Swords Venerable.

“The email shouldn't be too exaggerated; just a slight mention is enough. The Venerable will immediately see that… the Giant Axe Martial Arena has clearly discovered Earth's secrets. At that point, the Virtual Universe Company won't just be acting for me; they'll naturally not give up for the sake of this 'Earth's' secret.” Luo Feng nodded to himself.

He believed…

Once this email was sent, it would surely tear a hole in the heavens, leading to a clash between the Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Martial Arena!

…

Earth.

In the ruined courtyard of the Luo Clan's old residence.

Although he had sent the email, Luo Feng's expression remained grim. He also stalled for time, transmitting to Yanzhu King, “Yanzhu King, it's not that I can't see the situation clearly, but… since I've already made a promise to Undying Venerable, and he is Undying Venerable after all. You, Yanzhu King, have Blazefire Venerable protecting you, but what about me? Facing Blazefire Venerable's wrath in the future, I'd be finished.”

Upon hearing this, a smile immediately appeared on Yanzhu King's face.

He secretly rejoiced.

It seemed he was about to get what he wanted.

“Don't worry,” Yanzhu King transmitted. “After this, you can return to the Primal Secret Region, or go to Chaos City. Both of those places… are extremely safe.”

“But I can't stay in those two places forever, can I?” Luo Feng transmitted.

Yanzhu King grew slightly impatient. “Stop with the nonsense. Transfer ownership of the Milky Way Galaxy to me now, and at least you'll still be alive. You might live a bit stifled in the future, but once your status improves, it'll be fine. If you don't agree… you'll die right now, and all humans on Earth will die with you. Choose quickly!”

Just then—

Boom!

A powerful surge of Undying power suddenly swept across the entire Earth.

“Hm?” Yanzhu King, the green-haired, single-horned elder, and the other six King-level Undyings, along with the twelve Marquis-level Undyings, were all startled.

“It's Undying power,” the lizardman said indifferently.

“Another Undying has arrived? How could it be so fast? The forces of other Universe Venerables would take at least three to five days to get here,” Yanzhu King's expression changed.

“Perhaps it's a subordinate of another Venerable who coincidentally left a coordinate token very close to Earth,” the woman in black combat armor said.

Buzz!

Teleportation.

A figure suddenly appeared in the ruined courtyard. This single act of teleportation startled Yanzhu King and the other six King-level Undyings. Those capable of teleportation were all extraordinary; among their six King-level beings, only one possessed the ability to 'teleport,' highlighting its rarity.

Luo Feng also stared in astonishment at the newcomer in the courtyard.

This was a truly 'burly' giant. He stood over three meters tall, with two blood-red horns on his forehead, which also bore some faint silver scales. His exposed arms were covered in shimmering silver scales, and he wore thick, strange black and blood-red mottled combat armor. He was clearly a super-being of the Nakameng race.

Standing there, he resembled a towering divine mountain.

At the same time, an invisible, surging aura of malevolence spread, and his intangible presence directly overwhelmed Yanzhu King and the others.

“Greetings, Master,” Dilun respectfully saluted the man.

“Shixue King!”

“Tie Jun!”

Yanzhu King and the other six King-level Undyings all changed expression, each calling out a name.
