Swallowed Star

Chapter 953: Hong Alliance

Panda Novel

The green-armored undying gazed at Luo Feng and burst into laughter. "Sector lord killing an emperor! That's not something that can be accomplished by you humans."

"You don't think Blade River Emperor is a sector lord?" Luo Feng asked. "The demon race, the worm race, and the automaton race seem convinced. Convinced enough to post rewards for killing Blade River Emperor. And the demon race even offered an invaluable treasure."

"Who knows?" the undying of the Ta Bei clan said, gazing at Luo Feng. "Maybe that's because you humans are so good at deceiving others. That sounds about right. You humans are one of the peak races, you are talented at just about everything. You don't need to explain anything. We'll be convinced if you can give out the scent of a sector lord, after which we'll apologize to you and show you our admiration."

They all stared at Luo Feng, waiting for the scent of a sector lord.

"Thousand Rain, I'll go back first," Luo Feng turned around and told Thousand Rain beside him.

"Um, I bet other powerful ones will arrive in no time," Thousand Rain said, nodding.

"Human? Human!" two of the three creatures from the Ta Bei clan screamed.

"You three," said Luo Feng. He turned to them and sneered. "You're all stupid. I didn't deny, nor confirm that I am Blade River Emperor. I don't care if you believe it or not."

Sou!

Luo Feng teleported himself and vanished.

"You little—!" But before they could finish cursing at him, Luo Feng was long gone.

"Ha!" Thousand Rain laughed, smirked, and disappeared.

They all gnashed their teeth in anger. "How dare this Thousand Rain Emperor be disrespectful?"

The green-armored one looked at his companions and said, "This Blade River Emperor is indeed careful. He didn't give away anything or have any intention of revealing his sector-lord scent. It seems that we didn't succeed in confirming his identity."

"Let's go back to report to our seniors."

The three powerful creatures of the Ta Bei clan flew away.

Luo Feng teleported to the portal of the land of treasure, where some barbarians talking to each other immediately noticed him.

"It's the human."

"Look, it's Blade River Emperor."

"He's the Blade River Emperor?"

The barbarians flew to him instantly, one yelling, "Wait! Blade River Emperor!" while another shouted, "Human!"

However, Luo Feng pretended that he didn't hear anything and stepped into the portal. The barbarians could only sigh and shake their heads.

Luo Feng teleported back to his palace instantly after getting back to Bauhinia Island.

I didn't expect to rouse suspicions quite so soon, thought Luo Feng as he went to the second floor of a pavilion.

There were futons on the ground with empty space surrounding them. Here, he could see the pools and gardens directly. He sat down with his legs crossed and looked down.

"On second thought, it's not that startling," he murmured. "It's almost impossible for two hidden peerless talents to rise from the same race, not to mention both following the path of beast god. Even I wouldn't buy it, let alone the barbarians."

Luo Feng waved his hand, and the mini quantum computer appeared on his hands. It was the receiver to connect to the world of glory.

I'll enter this world of glory and see how it's different from the virtual universe of my race, Luo Feng thought.

He sensed the receiver through his mind and connected to the world of glory shortly.

******

In the world of glory, a figure appeared at the periphery of a square holding a black book.

"Um?" Luo Feng smiled, holding the book. "Interesting. The virtual universe uses virtual assistance to function, while this one uses this book."

Luo Feng opened the book. There was only one word on the first page, written in the human language: "Name." The following pages were blank.

"Please enter a username for the world of glory," Luo Feng heard a voice say when he turned to the first page.

"Name?" Luo Feng considered for a moment, then answered, "Blade River."

Since many powerful creatures already thought he was the Blade River Emperor, he would give himself this username. He didn't care much about the authenticity.

Luo Feng turned to the second page. It was the map of the world of glory, and Luo Feng heard the voice say, "There are two districts in the world of glory. One is the open-air square, and the other is the world of battle. You can connect to the world of glory within the secret region of the Ancestral God School."

"Wow… it's pretty small," Luo Feng whispered.

And there are very few functions, he complained inwardly.

There was no comparison. If the virtual universe was a skyscraper, the world of glory was a cottage. It only covered the Ancestral God Secret Region, and there were only two districts: the open-air square and the world of battle. There weren't even accommodations or shopping malls. The human virtual universe was much more bustling. There were countless levels of space and a wide range of functions. Everything that you could or could to do was provided in the virtual universe.

Luo Feng skimmed through the options.

Leaderboard of the world of glory

Glory points

Points for inheritances

Now, Luo Feng understood. The only way to have extra inheritances was to come to the world of glory.

There were seven rankings on the leaderboard starting with first-level ranking and descending to second-level ranking and so on and so forth. Different heirs appeared on different rankings according to their wins and losses. As for Luo Feng, he was at the back of third-level ranking. Zero wins and zero losses! Of course, there were creatures with records far worse than his.

It's simple, indeed, Luo Feng thought. The Ancestral God School only wants to offer a place for us to gather by setting up such a simple virtual universe.

"Open-air square?" Luo Feng looked away.

The square was actually an open-air bar where lots of wine was being served and meals were taking place. They could be enjoyed by all heirs at any time. There were chairs assembled within the square, and Luo Feng could see tens of thousands of heirs with a glance. And with a glance, they spotted him, as well.

"Look, it's Blade River Emperor."

"It's Blade River Emperor."

The heirs all noticed Luo Feng, but they chose to stand by. He realized that the heirs were in hundreds of or even thousands of separate groups. He could sense the hostility among the groups.

There are always conflicts whenever there are powerful ones, thought Luo Feng. Especially in a place like this, where all the talents in the universe live.

"Blade River Emperor."

A creature flew toward Luo Feng like a bolt of lightning.

Luo Feng looked at him and realized it was human. He smiled. "Cha Man Emperor."

Cha Man Emperor was a low-key emperor of the human race. Although he wasn't as mighty as the emperors who could rival universe knights, he was very close. Cha Man Emperor was incredibly talented and had risen to a high level very quickly. For this, he was highly valued and specially trained by the human race. Unfortunately, he was stuck at the final step to becoming a universe knight, which had robbed him of his pride and made him meek.

Many talented ones suffered similar fates. There were, after all, only so many who were qualified to become universe knights—such as Seven Blade Emperor. Who could say for sure whether he would become a universe knight?

"Let's go, the Hong Alliance is here." Cha Man Emperor took Luo Feng and walked away. "According to the command I received from our race, I should call you Blade River Emperor directly when you're suspected. Will it affect you?"

"They will be just as suspicious if you don't call me that."

"It'll happen either way."

"Don't worry about it." Luo Feng smiled.

Cha Man Emperor nodded and continued. "These heirs are divided mainly by the alliances they belong to. The enemy alliances don't get together. We who belong to the Hong Alliance will stick together."

"There seem to be many groups," Luo Feng said.

He could see the divisions between them. Most were in groups of hundreds or thousands of members. There were few groups with more than 10,000 members, and they represented the superpowers of the universe.

Luo Feng pointed to one particularly large group where hundreds of thousands of powerful ones sat together. "Who are they? There are so many members."

"That's the Snow Territory Alliance," Cha Man Emperor said. "Although they are inferior to our Hong Alliance in terms of power, it is the alliance that has the most members. There are lots of undying and even emperor-level undying within that alliance, though most are from weak, ordinary clans—with a few exceptions. You should know that the Ancestral God School doesn't care about the number of members a clan has when it distributes tokens."

After a short while, they arrived at a corner of the square.

"That's our place," Cha Man Emperor said with a smile.

Luo Feng looked to the front and saw only around 1,000 powerful ones. They were all very common clans of the Hong Alliance.

"This is it?" Luo Feng whispered.

"We're the elites," Cha Man Emperor said, still smiling.

"That's right, we're the elites," agreed Luo Feng. "No point comparing the quantity, I suppose."

Luo Feng smiled back and followed Cha Man Emperor to the heirs of the Hong Alliance.

Within the territory of the demon race.

Balls of flames as big as stars were distributed everywhere and enveloped the valley. At the center was the towering Sky Wolf Palace.

An enormous, snake-shape creature with two heads groveled on the palace floor, but its voice was echoing within the entire space. "Master of Sky Wolf, the heirs of our demon race within the Ancestral God School gave us a message. A human suspected to be Blade River Emperor went to the land of treasures. It's highly likely that he's Blade River Emperor."

The Master of Sky Wolf was in charge of the reward for hunting down Blade River Emperor.
