Chapter 21: The Three Children of Moyu Hu
The bounty tasks in the Dark Hall of Yan Feng Pavilion were divided into several categories such as protection, employment, and assassination, with the highest rewards undoubtedly belonging to assassination tasks.
“Look at the ones with high bounties,” Luo Feng said while drinking and studying the assassination tasks.
The top bounty task: Kill the highest commander of the Huyang Legion, ‘Magili Xiao,’ with a reward of 1.2 million Cosmos Sand.
“Being able to offer a bounty of 1.2 million Cosmos Sand and not fearing the City Lord’s Mansion, it’s most likely Shiguo,” Luo Feng guessed. “According to the rules of the Dark Hall of Yan Feng Pavilion, the bounty for assassination tasks must be paid to Yan Feng Pavilion in advance. If the task is not completed, the bounty remains with Yan Feng Pavilion! Without sufficient backing, one wouldn’t be willing to place such a huge fortune there for long.”
The second-highest bounty task: Kill the leader of Shiguo forces in Huyang City, ‘Blood Cloud,’ with a reward of 1 million Cosmos Sand.
The third-highest bounty task: Kill the leader of the Zhu Clan, ‘Zhu Hu,’ with a reward of 530,000 Cosmos Sand.
The fourth-highest bounty task: Kill the Pavilion Master of the Shadow Pavilion, ‘Chun Yuyi,’ with a reward of 180,000 Cosmos Sand.
The seventh-highest bounty task: Kill the President of the Blood Python Society, ‘Mu Yang,’ with a reward of 120,000 Cosmos Sand.
Luo Feng saw the familiar bounty for the President of the Blood Python Society. To be ranked seventh, this President of the Blood Python Society also had quite a determined enemy!
“The top three bounties are relatively high, but the rewards drop significantly after that.” Luo Feng had obtained detailed information about Huyang City from Entropy Tianyan, so he also understood the information about these powerful figures on the bounty list.Magili Xiao: The strongest member of the five great families of the City Lord’s Mansion, the highest commander of the Huyang Legion.
His individual strength was incredibly powerful. Yuguo’s royal capital sent him to oversee a large city and equipped him with the best legionary mechanical treasures, with a personal guard legion that was extremely elite.
Individually strong and commanding a legion, Magili Xiao was extremely terrifying.
Blood Cloud: The leader of Shiguo forces in Huyang City. Long-term lurking in Huyang City, he caused significant losses to the five great families of the City Lord’s Mansion, who had always been helpless against him.
These two were very strong, and their backgrounds were also extraordinary.
They had clashed more than once.
“The Zhu Clan’s Zhu Hu, ranked third?” Luo Feng was curious. “The Zhu Clan is a native family in Huyang City, conducting business honestly, so they shouldn’t have many enemies. How is Zhu Hu’s bounty higher than those of the leaders of dark forces? The key point is, despite the long-term bounty of 530,000 Cosmos Sand, the Zhu Clan still remains stable.”
From these assassination tasks, Luo Feng could see that in Huyang City, Magili Xiao, Blood Cloud, and Zhu Hu were all not to be trifled with.
“Of course, figures like the Pavilion Master of Yan Feng Pavilion, myself, and those old folks hiding in Huyang City don’t have bounties,” Luo Feng smiled. “Not having a bounty doesn’t mean one is weak.”

“Which one of these assassination tasks should I choose?”
Luo Feng pondered.
Employment tasks and protection tasks required a lot of time and effort and offered less reward. Naturally, he had to choose an assassination task.
“The leaders of the dark forces who do all sorts of evil can be backup options,” Luo Feng thought. He had his own preparations for action, only killing those who deserved to be killed! And the leaders of dark forces, having committed countless evil deeds, could naturally be considered as backup options.
“The President of the Blood Python Society’s bounty is too low,” Luo Feng slightly shook his head. There were three dark force leaders whose bounties were higher than that of the President of the Blood Python Society, so they naturally needed to be thoroughly researched.
The first time he took on a bounty, it had to be successful.
Preparation work was also essential.
Luo Feng sat on a large rock on the mountain, studying potential targets when suddenly a figure flew close.
“Master,” Morosa said, “that Moyu Hu has come to visit.”
“Moyu Hu?” Luo Feng was surprised. The first Void True God he had met after coming to the Origin Continent was Moyu Hu.
“Previously, when Master was in seclusion for over a era, Moyu Hu also came to visit,” Morosa said. “Knowing that Master was in seclusion, he didn’t disturb you. This is his second visit.”
Luo Feng smiled, “The second time? Let him in.”
“Okay.” Morosa nodded and couldn’t help but say, “Master, shouldn’t we recruit some servants?”
“Recruit servants? We are focused on cultivation in the cave mansion, occasionally drinking and eating some fruit that can be prepared in advance. What do we need servants for?” Luo Feng laughed. “When we go out, aren’t you my servant?”
Morosa said in a low voice, “Master, your fame in Huyang City is growing, and more people are coming to visit you. I have to guard the gate and serve as a servant at the same time.”
Luo Feng laughed.
When guests came to visit, the only servant Morosa had to prepare fine wine and food and attend to them. Although Morosa concealed his strength, he was still an Eternal True God-level Boundary Beast, and with time, he would only grow stronger. He might even surpass Luo Feng in entering the Chaos realm faster, making it indeed inappropriate for him to handle such chores.
“My mistake,” Luo Feng laughed. “Don’t worry, I’ll recruit some servants within two days.”
“I’m not in such a hurry,” Morosa smiled and flew towards the cave mansion entrance to bring Moyu Hu in.
Moyu Hu was a bit nervous and followed Morosa up the mountain.
“Greetings, Supreme Lord,” Moyu Hu saluted respectfully.
As a Void True God, he was considered middle-tier in Huyang City. The dark force ‘Blood Python Society’ had recently been forced to bow down by an Eternal True God named Luo He, which was the hottest news in Huyang City. Moyu Hu naturally knew about it.
Luo Feng sat there leisurely, looking at Moyu Hu, “Why have you come to see me?”
“Supreme Lord, you once said I could ask for your help,” Moyu Hu was a bit nervous but, based on his understanding of the Supreme Lord, Luo He was one of the more amiable Eternal True Gods.
“Yes, I did promise,” Luo Feng smiled. “My promise is very valuable. Do you intend to use it now?”
Moyu Hu flipped his hand, revealing a small gray hammer, which he respectfully offered. “This weapon is my greatest find. While exploring treasures outside the city, I discovered an Eternal True God’s corpse. The most precious item there was this weapon belonging to the Eternal True God. I am willing to present this weapon to you, Supreme Lord, in exchange for a chance for my child to become your disciple.”
Luo Feng looked at the small hammer in surprise, “This is indeed an Eternal True God-level weapon secret treasure, worth about 6000 Cosmos Sand. You, a small Void True God, managed to obtain such a find. And you dare present it to me? Aren’t you afraid I will kill you to silence you?”
“With such a treasure, I wouldn’t dare sell it to any force, as even a slight leak would mean the end of my family,” Moyu Hu looked at Luo Feng, “Of the few Eternal True Gods I’ve met, you are the only one I trust.”
Last time, he guided Luo Feng and wasn’t killed or robbed, and was even given help. Moyu Hu believed that Luo Feng’s temperament was worth betting on.
“Hahaha…” Luo Feng reached out and took the small hammer. “I do not easily accept disciples.”
“Eternal True Gods don’t accept disciples easily. They usually give tests,” Moyu Hu said. “I only hope for a chance to test my child.”
Luo Feng said, “You should know that I have conflicts with the Blood Python Society.”
“Yes,” Moyu Hu nodded. “The news has spread throughout Huyang City.” From this conflict, Moyu Hu could see the Supreme Lord’s immense strength. If his child could become the Supreme Lord’s disciple, it would indeed be a great opportunity.
Luo Feng said, “In the future, I will have conflicts with other dark forces. There will likely be many Eternal True Gods who hold grudges against me. If your child follows me, they might be implicated.”
Moyu Hu was shocked.
Just after having a conflict with the Blood Python Society, there would be more conflicts with other dark forces?
“Following the Supreme Lord means sharing both fortune and misfortune,” Moyu Hu responded straightforwardly. He knew he only dared to present the small hammer to Luo Feng.
“How many children do you have?” Luo Feng asked.
“Three children. The Supreme Lord can choose one,” Moyu Hu immediately and respectfully presented a book. “This contains all the detailed information about my three children.”
Luo Feng took it with a gesture, “You are quite prepared. But I must clarify, I will only recruit one servant for now! They need to undergo tests, and if they fail, they will not become my disciple. Moreover, the testing period will be very long.”
“Being
a servant to the Supreme Lord is a great fortune for my child,” Moyu Hu said immediately.
“Alright,” Luo Feng nodded. “Bring your three children. I will choose one to be my servant.”
Moyu Hu showed joy, “I will bring them immediately.”
He respectfully took his leave and quickly departed.
“Master…” Morosa looked at the small hammer Luo Feng was playing with, unable to believe it. “You recruited a servant and got a weapon secret treasure worth 6000 Cosmos Sand for free?”
Luo Feng laughed, “I said I would recruit a servant within two days. Didn’t I do it quickly?”
“Fast!” Morosa praised, “And Master, you made a great deal.”
“6000 Cosmos Sand, becoming my servant, he’s not losing out,” Luo Feng smiled.
“I’m also Master’s servant. To be on par with me, he’s definitely not losing out,” Morosa said contentedly. From now on, many chores could be passed on to Moyu Hu’s child.
Morosa said, “Master, I can help guide the child in the future. It won’t trouble you.”
That way, he had more authority to command the child.
“Alright, if I accept a disciple, you’ll be their second master,” Luo Feng said. “But I will not easily accept disciples. If they don’t meet the minimum requirements, they’ll remain a servant for life.”
Morosa nodded, “With both of us teaching, the threshold for accepting disciples should indeed be high.”
Moyu Hu returned home. His house was an ordinary small cave mansion, bought for 1000 Chaos Crystals. It was of average standard among Void True God’s residences.
“Father.” The three young True Gods were waiting. They knew their father was going to visit the Eternal True God ‘Luo He.’ Seeing their father return, the three of them were a bit excited.
Moyu Hu smiled at his three children.
On the Origin Continent, love was a luxury! Most True Gods led hard lives of cultivation, let alone finding a wife and having children.
Moyu Hu was very fortunate to have met his true love and raised three children together.
Since his wife’s death, Moyu Hu cared most about his three children, who were more important to him than his own life.
“Luo He Supreme Lord agreed to give you an opportunity. He will choose one of you to be his servant,” Moyu Hu said. “Being a servant, you will undergo many tests to eventually become Luo He Supreme Lord’s disciple. If you fail the tests, you won’t become an Eternal True God’s disciple.”
“We understand.”
“The opportunity is rare. We will strive for it.”
The three brothers grew up in Huyang City and understood the value of this opportunity.
Moyu Hu nodded, “Let’s set off immediately.”
