Luo Feng's Bold Declaration

While requesting the King-tier experts he knew on Yan Ji Continent to help search for Zizhong King, Luo Feng also boarded his cosmic spaceship, departing from the military base and embarking on his journey to Yan Ji Continent. A few days later. “Cosmic shuttle complete.” At the nearest shuttle point to Yan Ji Continent, a ripple of spatial energy spread, and a black flying saucer materialized out of thin air. Inside the flying saucer. Luo Feng stood before the control room, his brow slightly furrowed: “With so many King-tier experts in our human camp, not a single one has been able to locate Zizhong King.” “Luo Feng, Zizhong King released information about you before, so he must have guessed you’d come looking for trouble. It’s perfectly normal for him to hide. Finding him won’t be easy,” a child’s avatar appeared on the spaceship’s control panel. “No one stirs without incentive,” Luo Feng chuckled softly. “After all, I merely asked some of my King-tier friends to keep an eye out. At most, they’d pay a little attention. But how many King-tier experts are there in total? And how vast is Yan Ji Continent? When I first arrived, I wandered around Yan Ji Continent for so long without encountering a single King-tier expert. For King-tier experts to search for Zizhong King... it’s inherently difficult. Without any benefit, they wouldn’t possibly order a group of Marquis-tier Immortals to help. Even if they did, those Marquis-tier Immortals would probably only agree superficially. Who would secretly expend their energy?” “Luo Feng, you’re going to put out a bounty?” A hint of excitement flickered in Babata’s eyes. “Yes, a bounty!” Luo Feng’s eyes gleamed. “I’ve long seen through it: whether it’s our race’s experts or foreign race experts, they’re all the same. If a powerful individual possesses a treasure, no one dares to act recklessly, because contending for it could very well cost them their lives. But if a weaker individual possesses a treasure, it will incite covetousness and plunder! Before, I was very low-key, and no one knew I had treasures, so no one ever opposed me. But after the Pagoda Treasure incident... and with Zizhong King deliberately spreading rumors, I can no longer remain low-key. Since I can’t be low-key, I must display sufficient combat power to deter those experts from various races!” “If I don’t act, so be it, but once I do, I must strike fear into these greedy foreign race experts!” Luo Feng said softly. “Only then can I solve this once and for all!” “This time, I intend to deter all the experts from various races!” “Let them know the consequences of offending me!” That very day, Luo Feng publicly issued a bounty, causing countless experts in the human camp across Yan Ji Continent to exclaim in shock. This was because Luo Feng’s bounty... was not a private one, but a public bounty sent through the military system to all allied forces in the entire Yan Ji Continent war zone! For this public bounty, Luo Feng had already transferred the reward money in advance to the ‘military system’ public account. 50 million mixed units! This was the ‘bounty amount’ for this mission. As long as the coordinates of the foreign race ‘Zizhong King’ were confirmed, 50 million mixed units would be awarded! “He’s insane!” “This human ‘Yang’ has truly gone mad! He’s been hiding in the military base, enduring for so long, and now he explodes by publicly offering a bounty for that foreign race Zizhong King. Fifty million mixed units! Many of us Marquis-tier Immortals have total assets of only around ten million mixed units. It’s hard to earn ten million mixed units even over countless years, yet simply discovering the coordinates of a foreign race King-tier expert can yield such an enormous reward.” “Truly insane.” “50 million!!!” “This ‘Yang’ truly flaunts his wealth!” “Haha... this is going to be exciting! With so many foreign race experts eyeing him on Yan Ji Continent, ‘Yang’ still dares to put a bounty on Zizhong King. It seems he’s prepared. This battle will likely be spectacular.” “Who is Zizhong King?” “‘Yang’ is offering a bounty for Zizhong King, so it seems this foreign race Zizhong King is the expert who spread the news behind the scenes.” The entire human camp on Yan Ji Continent instantly erupted. After all, King-tier experts were extremely rare; the vast majority were Marquis-tier Immortals and ordinary Immortals. For them, 50 million mixed units was an enormous fortune, enough to make every single one of them envious and frenzied. They wouldn’t dare to fight a foreign race King-tier expert, but occasionally discovering a foreign race King-tier expert and merely relaying the information? That, they dared to do. Search for Zizhong King! Overwhelmingly, countless Immortals from various races within the human camp began frantically searching for Zizhong King. Just like how the foreign races searched for ‘Yang’ a while ago, now countless experts in the human camp were looking for Zizhong King. However, comparatively, the human camp’s search was even more frenzied and proactive. After all, this was a public, massive bounty! But... One day, two days, half a month, a month... There was still no news of Zizhong King. “What’s going on with Zizhong King?” Luo Feng, who was almost at Yan Ji Continent aboard his spaceship, frowned slightly in the control room. “No, he spread news to force me out; he must have wanted me to show myself. Now that I’ve publicly put a bounty on him, he should be making some move. And the news of my bounty is everywhere; it must have reached his ears. He should know I’m hunting him...” “But he’s vanished?” “Could he have left Yan Ji Continent?” Luo Feng shook his head slightly. “No, that’s not right. Zizhong King forced me to show myself; it shouldn’t be this simple.” “Luo Feng, I have a feeling Zizhong King is just hiding, silently observing how things unfold. He will show himself,” Babata said. “Judging from the struggle for the Pagoda Treasure, this Zizhong King is an extremely insidious and vicious fellow. Unless there’s absolutely no hope, he would never give up. He even dared to fight against the King-tier pinnacle Cangjin King! Facing you, Luo Feng... he wouldn’t be so scared as to flee.” “Understood,” Luo Feng nodded. In the virtual world of the Machine Race camp, within a spacious hall on one floor of a steel skyscraper. Zizhong King was leisurely seated at a dining table, enjoying a meal. Suddenly, the hall door opened, and two figures of differing appearances entered. One was covered in fur with a single crimson eye, resembling an upright ferocious beast, exuding a savage aura. The other was tall and slender, over eight meters in height, cloaked in a silver robe, with a black mask covering his face, adorned with strange runes. “Zizhong King, you certainly have leisure time, savoring delicacies in the virtual world. Don’t you know that countless foreign race Immortals in the human camp on Yan Ji Continent are frantically searching for you?” the tall, slender masked man said in a soft, delicate voice. “The bounty for you is 50 million mixed units, which is equivalent to 100 million Yulan units in our Machine Race camp. That’s no small sum,” a deep, beast-like echoing voice rumbled from the crimson-eyed ferocious giant. “Blood Beast King! Heavy Arrow King!” Zizhong King looked up, a hint of a smile in his small eyes. “Aren’t there two of you? With two King-tier pinnacle experts here, who on Yan Ji Continent could I possibly fear?” “Hahahaha...” The crimson-eyed ferocious giant immediately burst into hearty laughter. “Zizhong King, you speak well. With us two here, those King-tier experts on Yan Ji Continent... are simply not worth fearing!” “Haha...” The tall, slender masked man also chuckled softly, his laughter imbued with confidence. Zizhong King continued, “As for the 50 million mixed units bounty on me, it only proves one thing... this human ‘Yang’ is truly incredibly wealthy. As long as we kill him, haha, I believe the spoils will be an immense surprise for both of you.” “Indeed,” both the crimson-eyed ferocious man and the tall, slender masked man nodded. Blood Beast King, Heavy Arrow King. The two of them were specially invited by Zizhong King. They were King-tier pinnacle existences currently in the ‘Star Tower,’ as there were hardly any King-tier pinnacle experts on Yan Ji Continent. Only in the ‘Star Tower,’ one of the most dangerous regions in the entire Outer Territory Battlefield, did King-tier pinnacle experts from various races gather. Neither of them was weaker than Cangjin King in strength. This time, Zizhong King... specifically spent a commission of 5 billion Yulan units for each, plus one-third of Human ‘Yang’’s wealth after his death, to invite Blood Beast King and Heavy Arrow King. They would each receive one-third of Human ‘Yang’’s wealth! Blood Beast King and Heavy Arrow King would also receive a 5 billion Yulan unit commission upfront. Even knowing that Human ‘Yang’ was not to be trifled with, both of them agreed. “Not to be trifled with? Precisely because he’s not to be trifled with, they invite King-tier pinnacle experts. Otherwise, why would they invite us two?” “Zizhong King is so generous; it seems that human’s wealth is also astonishing. He truly obtained the Pagoda Treasure. Even if we each get one-third, that’s still an enormous fortune. This haul will be massive.” “Indeed, he’s just a high-tier King-tier expert. Even if he has some trump cards, even if he invites experts, who could we two possibly fear?” When Blood Beast King and Heavy Arrow King were invited, they exchanged these words in secret, and thus accepted the invitation. Zizhong King, Blood Beast King, and Heavy Arrow King sat around the dining table, enjoying their meal and conversing. “Zizhong King, with that human offering such a bounty for you, when will you show yourself?” Heavy Arrow King asked softly. “I must first show weakness to the enemy,” Zizhong King chuckled. “Let him think I’m scared, that I’m afraid... Haha, I’m currently hiding outside Yan Ji Continent; they’ll never find me within Yan Ji Continent, no matter how hard they search. But now, the time is almost right, and the conditions are ripe.” “I’ll quietly reveal myself, deliberately allowing the human camp to discover me.” “Lure him into the trap.” A hint of ferocity flashed in Zizhong King’s eyes as he said sharply, “Then, the two of you and I will strike together. With two King-tier pinnacle experts joining forces, we’ll crush this human with absolute overwhelming power! If we don’t act against him, so be it, but once we do, we absolutely won’t give him a single chance.” “Haha, excellent, Zizhong King, I like your style!” Blood Beast King roared with laughter, his voice deep and carrying a hint of a growl. “Yes, we’ll kill him directly with overwhelming power. I dislike prolonged, entangled battles; they’re too troublesome. Crushing them overwhelmingly is the most satisfying.” “Indeed,” Heavy Arrow King also nodded lightly. “Both of you, please be prepared outside Yan Ji Continent,” Zizhong King chuckled. “Once that human ‘Yang’ falls into the trap, I will immediately notify you, and you two can instantly teleport here.” “Rest assured,” Blood Beast King said. “We’ll now go to the void outside Yan Ji Continent and quietly await your news,” Heavy Arrow King added. Zizhong King smiled, raising his cup: “I won’t keep you two waiting long. Come, let us toast to the Pagoda Treasure we are about to acquire.” “To the treasure!” Blood Beast King raised his cup. “To the dead human!” Heavy Arrow King raised his cup. The crisp clinking of cups.
