Purple Bell King Appears

Luo Feng was awaiting news of Purple Bell King, when Zhenyan King sent him an email, saying he had arrived at Yuxiang Mountain and wished to see Luo Feng.

...

Inside Luo Feng's manor in the Yuxiang Mountain Primal Region, in the tranquil hall, servants had already served hot tea. Zhenyan King held a cup of hot tea, inhaled its aroma deeply, and then took a sip.

“Teacher,” Luo Feng walked in from outside the hall, “You were looking for me?”

“Indeed.”

Zhenyan King set down his teacup and praised with a smile, “Disciple, this beverage called ‘tea’ from your home planet, Earth, is truly excellent. It’s no less remarkable than various drinks from other places. The more I taste it, the more I like it. Now, it’s a regular beverage at my residence, and it’s even cheaper than many other fruit wines.”

“Since Teacher enjoys it, I’ll have my family prepare some of the latest developed teas and send them to Chaos City for you,” Luo Feng said.

Tea was one of Pinghai Company’s businesses.

Based on Earth’s existing teas, Pinghai Company naturally cultivated and developed new teas in various environments across many planets in the cosmos, creating numerous varieties. When it came to tea… Luo Feng’s family certainly had the most.

“Haha, excellent,” Zhenyan King agreed heartily. “I came today because I heard you sold many valuable treasures under the alias ‘Yang’? And after a little inquiry, I learned that news of you obtaining the Sacrificial Tower Treasure in the Yan Ji Continent combat zone of the Outer Battlefield has spread. Is it true?”

“It’s true,” Luo Feng nodded.

Zhenyan King, his teacher, was aware of his alias ‘Yang’.

Zhenyan King was surprised, a golden light flashing in his eyes: “Any trouble?”

“Just a little trouble,” Luo Feng smiled. “But your disciple can handle it, Teacher, please rest assured.”

“It’s good that you can handle it. I know your character; since you dare to say so, I won’t worry at all,” Zhenyan King nodded, asking curiously, “How much is this Sacrificial Tower Treasure worth? It’s caused quite a stir.”

“Hundreds of billions of mixed-element units,” Luo Feng did not hide it.

Zhenyan King’s eyes widened in shock: “Hundreds of billions? You’re not joking, are you? For a treasure to appear in a place like the Yan Ji Continent in the Outer Battlefield, hundreds of millions of mixed-element units would be excellent. How could it be so much?”

Luo Feng grinned.

“Haha, what a lucky fellow. I, Zhenyan, have taken on a good disciple!” Zhenyan King laughed heartily, a hint of pride in his eyes. “Disciple, seeing your performance on the Yan Ji Continent, I am very pleased. But you must not become arrogant. While I am pleased, your other teacher, the Chaos City Lord, may not necessarily be. His vision is far higher than mine.”

“Your disciple understands,” Luo Feng nodded.

His teacher, the Chaos City Lord, stood at the pinnacle of billions of races in the cosmos. It was not easy to satisfy the Chaos City Lord.

To the Chaos City Lord, these hundreds of billions in wealth were merely a drop in the ocean, not worth mentioning. As the primary authority figure of the Virtual Universe Company, with his permissions, Luo Feng’s actions in the Outer Battlefield… if the Chaos City Lord wished to check, he could naturally see everything. Yet, the Chaos City Lord had never praised Luo Feng for obtaining the Sacrificial Tower Treasure; perhaps in his eyes, it wasn’t worth praising at all.

The only time the Chaos City Lord truly praised Luo Feng was when Luo Feng created his peak ultimate technique, the Bright Moon Strategy.

“Work hard!”

“Since the Chaos City Lord has accepted you as a disciple, you must not slack off in the slightest. The status of a personal disciple of the Chaos City Lord is incredibly glorious, but it also carries responsibility. All powerful beings… will naturally expect you to perform thousands, even tens of thousands of times better than other powerful beings to be worthy of this status. If you perform excellently, it’s considered normal because you are a personal disciple of the Chaos City Lord. If your performance is not excellent enough, you will be secretly ridiculed,” Zhenyan King encouraged.

“Yes, Teacher,” Luo Feng said solemnly.

...

Just like how Purple Bell King was shocked by Luo Feng’s previous performance in the Sacrificial Tower, if he knew that his opponent held the terrifying identity of a ‘personal disciple of the Chaos City Lord’… then, no matter how many trump cards Luo Feng revealed, he wouldn’t be surprised; he would only find it natural and perfectly normal.

One must know… what kind of existence was the Chaos City Lord?

...

Luo Feng and his teacher, Zhenyan King, chatted for a long time. Zhenyan King was proud of Luo Feng and believed Luo Feng would be his most outstanding disciple… but deep down, he lacked confidence, worried that his beloved disciple might not receive enough attention from the Chaos City Lord, and naturally always cared about Luo Feng’s growth.

He often offered guidance.

“Listening to you, this Purple Bell King is indeed an extremely sinister and ruthless individual, and quite cunning,” Zhenyan King nodded slightly. “With such a personality, since he released the news, he must have a backup plan. He definitely won’t be scared into hiding.”

“Your disciple thinks the same,” Luo Feng nodded. “But he just won’t show himself.”

“Just wait patiently,” Zhenyan King said. “You need some patience. Although your opponent has some capability, I, your teacher, still believe you can resolve it.”

In the vast cosmos, countless Undyings among billions of races could reach the peak King-level, but far fewer could be called ‘invincible King-level, close to Universe Master’.

Ultimate techniques, law comprehension, amplification secret arts, supreme treasures, cunning… none could be lacking.

Zhenyan King had met too many powerful beings and had too much experience. Just by listening to Luo Feng, he saw through Purple Bell King’s character. Perhaps Purple Bell King was sinister and ruthless, making him difficult to deal with, but Zhenyan King knew his disciple, Luo Feng, very well. His disciple might seem ordinary, but in reality, he was clear-minded and true to his core, seeing all his weaknesses and strengths, and capable of calmly making the most accurate plans.

When it was time to be low-key, he was absolutely low-key; when it was time to be domineering, he was absolutely domineering.

Even facing death, he would make a calm choice.

This was Luo Feng!

Compared to Purple Bell King… Luo Feng was what you called great wisdom appearing foolish. This seemingly ordinary and low-key individual was the truly terrifying opponent.

“Your weakness is your own strength,” Zhenyan King said. “Don’t be careless.”

“Your disciple has made many preparations,” Luo Feng nodded. “Of course, there are too many mysterious methods in the cosmos. Your disciple dare not say he has absolute certainty, but he has ninety percent certainty.”

“Beep! Beep!”

“Luo Feng, there’s a call invitation and an email simultaneously. The call and email are from the same number, sent by the same entity,” Babata on his shoulder reminded him.

Luo Feng lightly tapped the void, and a screen appeared. First, he accepted the call invitation and also opened the email. On the screen, a burly, horned giant shrouded in black combat armor spoke in a deep voice: “I have discovered Purple Bell King, a powerful being of the Qichang Race from the Machine Race faction. The coordinates are…”

The email content next to it was the same.

“Found him!” Luo Feng abruptly stood up.

“Very good, once confirmed, I will give you the bounty,” Luo Feng said.

“Please, Lord, arrive quickly. If too much time passes, Purple Bell King might slip away,” the horned giant said.

*Snap*.

The communication closed. Zhenyan King, sitting nearby, smiled, “Purple Bell King has appeared?”

“He has appeared,” Luo Feng nodded.

“This is a life-and-death battle, where life and death hang by a thread. Even with a clear advantage, you must not be careless,” Zhenyan King reminded him. “Go, I’ll be here in your manor, awaiting your good news.”

“Yes.”

Luo Feng smiled slightly, then his consciousness disappeared, and he left the Virtual Universe Network.

...

In the ice and snow cave on the Yan Ji Continent.

Purple Bell King sat cross-legged alone on the cold rock. His large and miniature detectors were only set to ‘detect’ but had disabled ‘signal shielding’. This was why that fortunate Marquis-level Undying from the Human faction was able to discover Purple Bell King with his detector.

“They found me?”

“A small Marquis-level Undying,” Purple Bell King murmured. “You’ll have to lure that Human Yang into the trap. Consider yourself lucky.”

*Buzz~*

Purple Bell King carefully sensed the spatial fluctuations.

He cultivated spatial laws and could already teleport, so his perception of spatial fluctuations was incredibly sensitive.

“There are special spatial fluctuations, it’s teleportation!” Purple Bell King’s eyes lit up. “That human has fallen into the trap!”

...

Just a few thousand kilometers away from Purple Bell King, a silver-armored, silver-winged human and a phantom shrouded in black mist appeared simultaneously.

“Cha Wu King, thank you,” Luo Feng said.

“If there are such transactions again, you can find me,” a laugh came from within the phantom, and then the black mist phantom vanished into thin air.

“I can’t teleport. Every time, I have to ask other peak King-level powerful beings for help. How great would it be if I could teleport? Unfortunately, I’m still far behind in law comprehension,” Luo Feng shook his head, while mentally instructing, “Babata, have you found Purple Bell King?”

“Purple Bell King is in a cave in the ice and snow mountain range, 3201 kilometers away, sitting cross-legged on a rock. Although his detector is on, it hasn’t shielded external signal detection. Clearly, he intends to wait here,” Babata communicated mentally.

“I know he set a trap.”

“He also knows I’m prepared,” Luo Feng chuckled. “He’s not foolish, and I’m not stupid. We both know… we’re both prepared, and we both know that as long as neither side backs down, this battle is inevitable. He’s clearly confident… and so am I… only when he falls will he regret it!”

“Babata, confirm the intelligence is correct, and give the bounty to that fortunate Marquis-level Undying,” Luo Feng said.

“Yes.”

Different statuses lead to different scales of action.

“Babata, we should give that Purple Bell King… a welcoming gift,” Luo Feng chuckled. “Yilina, as I instructed before, a double attack.”

“Yes, Master.”

The insectoid queen appeared beside them.

...

Meanwhile, in the ice and snow mountain cave several thousand kilometers away, Purple Bell King sat there with a frown: “There were two consecutive special spatial fluctuations just now, clearly teleportation. One arrival, one departure… it must be that some expert from the Human faction, skilled in teleportation, brought Human Yang here, and then that expert left alone. Since Human Yang has arrived… why is there no movement at all? Is he afraid to act even though I’m right here?”
