Devouring the Starry Sky: You will become stronger through practice

Huyang City, City Lord’s Mansion.

"Welcome to the Lord of the Abyss!"

In the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Mo Lixiao and other high-ranking officials of Huyang City all stood respectfully on both sides, with their heads lowered and their eyes submissive. They did not dare to look directly at Luo Shen. They only dared to look at the tiptoes of Luo Shen, watching him walk past them little by little.

Some brave senior executives secretly raised their heads, and when they saw No. 1 following Luo Shen silently, a light flashed in their eyes.

This is the real reason why they follow the Lord of the Abyss!

Although the Lord of the Abyss is extremely powerful, more than one level stronger than the average Eternal True God, but in a war of this magnitude of annihilation between two eternal kingdoms, at least the Lord of Chaos can have the ability to play chess.

Even if he is as strong as Mo Lixiao, he is just a toy of these truly top-notch masters.

If the Lord of the Abyss only had the invincible strength among the eternal true gods, they really would not have fallen out with the Lord of the City of Loba for this.

But who could blame him? This Lord of the Abyss is not only extremely powerful himself, but also has a Chaos Lord as his servant. It is obvious that his background is even greater than that of the Lord of the City of Luba. Perhaps the hope of their Huyang City's turnaround lies in him.

That is why they would spare no effort to push the Lord of the Abyss to the position of city lord in order to save Huyang City and find a way out for themselves.

Life is precious, but love is even more valuable. If you want freedom, you can throw away both!

Now, the only one who can bring them freedom is the Abyss God in front of them.

Luo Shen walked through the meeting hall step by step and finally sat on the throne in the hall. Although due to the urgency of the situation, the ceremony for him to become the lord of the city was just a formality, it was still a ceremony after all.

"Everyone, get up."

After sitting down, Luo Shen looked at everyone and waved his hand, indicating that they didn't need to be polite.

Look away.

The commander of the ten legions, Mo Lixiao, and the deputy city lord Mo Limeng were standing quietly by the side, with their brows lowered and their eyes submissive, looking extremely respectful. However, Luo Shen knew very well that the other party was so respectful only because of his strength and unknown identity.

Strength is only part of it.

What really impressed the other party was, in fact, the unknown identity brought by Number One and the possibility that it might bring a glimmer of hope to their major families.

in other words.

Once the opponent's strength exceeds his, he will be overthrown by the opponent like the Lord of Luba City.

But that’s all in the future.

Besides, if he can’t even suppress Mo Lixiao, there’s no point in Luo Shen’s survival.

"The situation is urgent now, so I won't exchange pleasantries with you all."

Luo Shen glanced at it and said, "The Food Kingdom has launched a massive invasion and even sent out a Chaos Lord. Even Huyang City has a Chaos Lord in charge. This means that the entire Jiujiang Chaos State is in danger! Jiujiang Hou may have been ambushed by the Food Kingdom!"

These words immediately turned the previously peaceful atmosphere into an extremely cold one.

The scar was exposed nakedly, and everyone had to face the bloody wound. That is, now in the Chaos State of Jiujiang, it is very likely that their Huyang City is the only isolated city!
Huyang City escaped the disaster because of Luo Shen and top experts like No. 1.

But what about Jiujiang City? What about other large cities in Jiujiang Chaos State? Who can they ask for help? Can they expect the King of Yu to find out that something is wrong and send a powerful Divine King to help? ?

Obviously, this is not realistic.

Because each God King has his own important task, and needs to guard extremely important areas within the Yu Kingdom. Once those areas are lost, the crisis will definitely be more dangerous than the fall of the entire Jiujiang Chaos State!
Therefore, it is impossible for the King of Gods to come forward.

It is obviously unlikely that other Chaos Lords will come forward. After all, the territory of Yu State is extremely large, and each Chaos Lord has his own area to guard. Without the order from the Lord of the State, they dare not rashly step into the territory of other Chaos Lords.

This has happened before.

That is, the Chaos Lord crossed his own territory and went to the territory of other Chaos Lords to deal with the enemy, but was severely defeated by that Chaos Lord and his enemies. If the King had not come forward to mediate in person, I am afraid that at least one of the three parties would have perished.

Besides, even if the Lord of Chaos can go to the territories of other Lords of Chaos, what does it matter?

What if they fell into the enemy's trap and Jiujiang Chaos State was saved but their own territory was lost?! ?

Therefore, it is unlikely to rely on other chaos masters.

It is precisely because of this that the Jiujiang Chaos State is very likely to have fallen into an extremely dangerous situation, and even the entire territory has fallen, with only Huyang City being the only large city that has not yet been conquered by the Shi Kingdom.

"But don't worry, everyone."

After the big stick, Luo Shen gave a little sweetness and said: "Although Jiujiang City may fall, it does not mean that Jiujiang Hou will fall. After all, Jiujiang Hou is a veteran who once followed the King of Yu to conquer the country. He is experienced and may escape even if he is plotted against."

“So, we are not alone.”

"But even if Jiujiang Hou didn't die, and he chose to flee Jiujiang City and look for an opportunity to hide back in Jiujiang Chaos State, it would be difficult for us to find his whereabouts in a short period of time."

Mo Limeng raised his own question.

"If a Chaos Lord is intentionally hiding his whereabouts, how can our group of the strongest Eternal True Gods find the whereabouts of Lord Jiu Jiang? If we can't recruit anyone, isn't that the same as having no external help?"

Other senior executives also agreed with Mo Limeng's issue.

After all, now apart from them and the high-level officials of Yu State who want to know the whereabouts of Marquis Jiujiang, if Marquis Jiujiang escapes, Shi Guoye is definitely the one who wants to know the whereabouts of Marquis Jiujiang the most.

As long as Jiujiang Hou is not eliminated, the Jiujiang Chaos State will not be truly in their hands.

“I think this question is easy to answer.”

Luo Shen smiled and said.

Seeing that Mo Limeng, Mo Lixiao and a group of high-ranking officials were all looking over, Luo Shen held the handle of the throne with his right hand and explained: "If this Jiu Jiang Hou successfully escaped, what else would he do besides healing his wounds?"

Everyone was stunned, their minds racing, trying to figure out what Lord Jiujiang might have done.

Just when no one had a clue, Mo Lixiao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly frowned and asked uncertainly: "Seek support!?"

"Yes! That's right!"

Luo Shen smiled and gave Mo Lixiao a thumbs up, agreeing: "That's right, we need to seek support!"

Seeing that everyone was a little confused, Luo Shen had to explain more thoroughly: "Jiujiang Chaos Province was the fief of Jiujiang Hou, and now it has fallen into the hands of Shi Kingdom. If you were Jiujiang Hou, would you choose to hand it over to others like this?" This question did not even need to be asked, the answer could be given directly.

The answer is no!
If they were really willing to hand it over, why would they risk offending the City Lord of Luba and put Luo Shen on the throne of the City Lord's Mansion? Isn't the purpose just to protect their own piece of land in Huyang City?

As the ruler of chaos, Lord Jiujiang is more ambitious and naturally unwilling to see his fiefdom taken away by other forces.

Could he still ask the King of Yu for another fiefdom?
Even if the king is willing, the mocking words of other powerful people alone are enough to make him give up this idea. People live for a breath and Buddhas fight for a stick of incense. If he doesn't fight for this and doesn't want that, then what's the point of cultivating all this strength?

Seeing that no one objected to his words, Luo Shen continued, "So, the next thing that Jiu Jiang Hou will do is to find external help!"

"But it is impossible for ordinary foreign aid to help him."

Luo Shen said seriously, "After all, when facing the Lord of Chaos, the Eternal True God has almost no ability to resist. Even the top Eternal True God like Commander Mo Lixiao, with the help of the power of the legion, is very terrifying. So, in this situation, the only one who can help him is a strong man at the same level of the Lord of Chaos."

As mentioned before, the Chaos Lord would not dare to easily cross his fiefdom and go to the fiefdoms of other powerful people without the order from the King of Yu.

Therefore, it is unrealistic to count on other chaos masters of the Yu State.

But just because the Chaos Lords of other fiefdoms cannot be relied upon does not mean that Lord Jiujiang has no other external aid. After all, there is more than one Chaos Lord in the Jiujiang Chaos State.

"Chao Yong, the Chaos-level beast that lives in the depths of Chao Yong Lake, is the best helper for Lord Jiu Jiang!"

But as soon as Luo Shen finished speaking, someone raised an objection.

"City Lord, I don't mean to refute you, but I heard that Chao Yong has never had a good relationship with us human cultivators. Even if Lord Jiu Jiang chooses to ask him to help, Chao Yong may not necessarily help, right?"

The one who spoke was Ji Ye, another deputy city lord of the city lord's mansion.

The deputy city lord was born as a casual cultivator and possessed the strength of an Eternal True God. He was considered a top player in Huyang City. However, because he was born as a casual cultivator, he had no backing. Compared with the children of big families like Mo Limeng, he was less willful and more cautious.

Just like it is now.

Even though he knew the situation was extremely critical and that the power that Lord Jiujiang might need help from was Chao Yong, he still seemed a little hesitant to go looking for him.

If you worry about this and that, you will end up accomplishing nothing.

It is no wonder that the other party has followed dozens of city lords as the deputy city lord, but has never been able to sit on the position of city lord. Now it seems that there is indeed a reason for this.

Fortunately, Luo Shen did not need to ask for the other party's consent.

He simply said, "Whether it is true or not, it doesn't matter. If the Lord Jiujiang can't ask Chao Yong to take action, it would be a good thing for us if we can ask him to do it."

Mo Limeng and others all nodded.

If there could be one more Chaos Lord, if there could be more power from the lineage of alien beasts, even the Food Nation would not dare to act rashly. After all, although there are not many alien beasts with top strength, each of them has extremely terrifying strength.

Otherwise, it would have been eaten up by other powerful people long ago.

After all, every part of the body of a top-notch exotic beast has an extremely exaggerated function. For some weak practitioners, being able to obtain the flesh and blood of a powerful exotic beast is undoubtedly a huge help to their practice.

The same goes for Chao Yong. Although he is only a Chaos-level monster, he is almost invincible in the level of Chaos Lords.

Otherwise, Marquis Jiujiang would have sharpened his knife long ago.

"However, although we all think that Jiujiang City should have fallen, we still need to find out the situation of Jiujiang City and Xuyin City through other means. If they are still intact in the hands of the strong men of Yu State, it will be a very good thing for us."

Luo Shen reminded.

How can fighting alone be as good as having the help of allies?

Luo Shen, like Hu Yangcheng, needs time. If he can become a God King before the time is up, or train a few more Chaos Overlord-level beast warriors, he will have more power to fight against the Food Kingdom.

"I made a decision!"

Luo Shen suddenly stood up: "Next, I will go to Chaoyong Lake and ask Chaoyong to come out and help us defend Huyang City. And you, recruit soldiers in the city to strengthen the combat power of the army. Don't be stingy with the cultivation resources, take them out and give them to the soldiers to practice. Even if there are a few more Eternal True Gods, it will be great."

"Also, find out the news about Jiujiang Hou and Jiujiang City as soon as possible, and pay attention to the movements of the Shi Kingdom army."

"If there is any movement, contact me immediately!"

Sitting back and waiting for death is not Luo Shen's style.

Although it is safe in Huyang City, the speed of growth is too slow. Now there are not many resources in Huyang City that can provide him with the sixth level of smelting method, let alone the seventh level.

Therefore, he had to go out and find some resources for cultivation.

As for Chao Yong.

If the opponent knew what was happening, he could still spare his life. If the opponent insisted on using his fists, then his sword would not be a bad idea! He was just thinking about how effective the flesh and blood of this Chaos-level beast was.

But as soon as Luo Shen's words came out, all the senior executives including Mo Lixiao opposed it.

Especially the deputy city lord Mo Limeng, he said bluntly: "City lord, now is the critical time to defend the city. As the city lord, you are worth a lot of money, you can't put yourself in danger, otherwise if something happens to you, what should we do."

In fact, what they were most worried about was that if Luo Shen took away Chaos Lord No. 1, when the Chaos Lord of Shi Country came, they would not have the same combat power to deal with him.

But Luo Shen was a man who saw through the other party's thoughts at a glance and said directly: "Don't worry, I will stay in Huyang City on the first day to guard it. I don't want to be away for such a short time and even have my home robbed."

Upon hearing this, Mo Lixiao and the others blushed.

Mo Limeng wanted to say something, but Luo Shen waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, we are all thousand-year-old foxes, why are you playing Liao Zhai? Just stay in this city and guard your home. If you want to invite Chao Yong, it won't work just by having more people, you need to be sincere!"

Luo Shen turned his gaze towards Mo Lixiao.

Now, in Huyang City, besides him and No. 1, the strongest person is naturally Mo Lixiao.

Luo Shen walked towards the throne, walked in front of Mo Lixiao, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Commander Mo Lixiao, during my absence, Huyang City will be handed over to you."

Mo Lixiao stood still and said directly: "Don't worry, City Lord, Mo Lixiao will definitely live up to your high expectations."

"Ok!"

Luo Shen nodded with satisfaction. (End of this chapter)
