Chapter 575: Chapter 275 Uninvited Guest_2
“So, be extra cautious in all matters.”
“Your life is priceless. Don’t carelessly lose it, alright?”
After saying this, the Carefree Monk vanished into the small courtyard in a swoosh.
Disappeared from Luo Changfeng’s line of sight.
It was as if he had vanished with a sudden gust of wind.
Luo Changfeng, watching the direction where the Carefree Monk had left,
felt the corner of his eye twitch ever so slightly.
He had thought the Carefree Monk would worry about him, but now it seemed…
Sigh, forget it.
It was all just his wishful thinking.
Besides, the Carefree Monk didn’t need to tell him these things.
He would naturally cherish his own life.
It was precisely for that reason that he had never taken the initiative to strike first.
Even though he believed
that within the territory of the Da Feng Dynasty, his cultivation along with his trump cards made him nearly invincible.
If it were someone else,
they probably would have already revealed their strength and headed towards the core territories of the Great Flame Dynasty, the Da Feng Dynasty, or the White Brahma Temple.
“The world of cultivation has always been cold and merciless.”
“Being doubly cautious is no bad thing.”
“After all, you only live once.”
“If by some lack of caution, you squander that life, wouldn’t you be crying your eyes out?”
Thinking thus,
Luo Changfeng then picked up a teapot from the stone table and poured himself another cup of hot tea.
He lifted the cup to his lips,
squinting his eyes slightly, sipping the hot tea in small sips as he gazed silently into the distance.
“Isn’t it better to stay calm and stable?”
“Why must it be this way?”
“Are you really treating the Qingshi City Luo Family as a soft persimmon to pinch?”
“Da Feng, Great Flame, can you both stop pressing me?”
“If we really come to that final step…”
“A lot of people will die.”
…
As time passed,
roughly a month had gone by in the blink of an eye. @@novelbin@@
During this month,
the situation within the Da Feng Dynasty had grown increasingly grave.
If before it had been said that the Great Flame Dynasty and the Da Feng Dynasty were just probing each other,
then during this past month,
it seemed the two dynasties had gradually begun to take serious action.
Wars broke out occasionally.
However, it seemed fortuitous
that the Qingshi City Luo Family was merely in a defensive phase.
Together with the tranquility of the previous period allowing significant development for the Qingshi City Luo Family,
for the short term,
being able to withstand a combined assault from those two imperial forces wasn’t particularly difficult.
…
Da Feng Dynasty, Luo Mountain Prefecture.
Qingshi City, Luo Family Ancestral Land, within the room of the Luo Family Patriarch.
At this moment, Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family,
was sitting quietly in the main seat.
In his hands, he held a military document that had been dealt with and was looking at it silently.
But the more he looked,
the grimmer his expression became.
In recent times, the situation had indeed grown increasingly grim.
The Royal Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty,
The Royal Yan Family of the Great Flame Dynasty.
The alliance of these two imperial forces, the Luo Family was still able to withstand for now.
But as time passed and the so-called trend increasingly descended,
to the outside of the Da Feng Dynasty, several other large and small forces, driven by the two dynasties, became involved in the war.
This feeling was like everyone pushing down a falling wall or joining in to beat a broken drum.
However, the biggest problem now was,
dammit, the Qingshi City Luo Family hadn’t fallen yet.
The Qingshi City Luo Family hadn’t even shown signs of weakness,
yet those forces external to the Da Feng Dynasty dared to join with the two dynasties, participating in this war.
Attempting to carve up the vast interests of the Luo Family in Qingshi City.
“Damn it, isn’t this a bit too early?”
“Luo Yao.”
“The current situation is already serious enough.”
“What do you think the situation will develop into later?”
“Could it become even more severe than it is now?”
Seated in the main seat, Luo Ping silently set aside the pile of official duties in his hands.
Then, he looked at Luo Yao beside him and asked in a low voice.
“An even more severe situation?”
Hearing this, Luo Yao couldn’t help but purse his lips, pondering for a moment before replying softly, “It has already come to this point, whether the situation will get worse is no longer the most important thing for our Luo Family in Qingshi City.”
Luo Ping glanced at Luo Yao and asked, “What do you think is the most important thing right now?”
Without much thought, Luo Yao replied in a low voice, “Naturally, it’s the clashes between those cultivators above Mortal Transcendence. If Elder Changfeng wins, then all of this will no longer be an issue, but if Elder Changfeng loses, even if the situation were better, our Luo Family in Qingshi City would still be unable to escape the path of ruin.”
“Before, I thought…”
“Elder Changfeng had a chance of winning.”
“But now, as time goes by,”
“With both the Da Feng Dynasty and the Great Flame Dynasty pressing closer, even with other large and small forces outside the Da Feng Dynasty getting involved, involved in dividing up the enormous profits of our Luo Family in Qingshi City, I increasingly feel…”
At this point,
Luo Yao suddenly stopped.
He didn’t continue speaking.
The current situation was severe enough already.
The current atmosphere was already oppressive enough as well.
If, under such circumstances,
he, who was being groomed as the next Family Head of the Luo Family, were to speak these disheartening words,
then the situation would indeed become truly difficult.
“Alas…”
Seeing this, Luo Ping, who sat in the main seat, also sighed helplessly.
Things seemed to be just as Luo Yao, the young man, had said.
The situation was becoming increasingly disadvantageous for their Luo Family in Qingshi City.
Luo Ping, as the current Luo Family Patriarch in Qingshi City,
as a member of this Luo Family in Qingshi City,
naturally wished for the Luo Family to be the final victor.
But, given the current situation,
it seemed… really difficult.
In the Luo Family in Qingshi City, there was only Elder Changfeng above Mortal Transcendence.
While the enemy had at least no less than three Transcended.
One against three, or even one against many.
Could they really win?
…
Inside the room,
after shaking his head, Luo Ping, seated in the main position, stopped pondering the matter.
No matter if they could win in the end,
he, as the current Luo Family Patriarch, always needed to do what he was supposed to do.
For instance, stabilizing the Luo Family in Qingshi City,
Securing the vast territory under the Luo Family’s command in Qingshi City.
As for the war above Mortal Transcendence…
That was something only Patriarch Changfeng could decide.
Mortal Transcendence, Mortal Transcendence,
Shedding the mortal coil, stepping half into the realm of immortals.
This realm, referred to by many as the Semi-Immortal Realm,
is no longer something low-level cultivators can easily overcome with numbers.
…
In the blink of an eye, another day had passed.
Early in the morning, before the sky was fully bright,
when the temperature around was still slightly chilly,
a lone uninvited guest had already arrived outside the vast city of Qingshi.
This person, clad in a distinctive Taoist robe,
radiated a faint aura of the initial realm of Blood Cultivation.
Although the initial realm of Blood Cultivation was not considered very high,
at the city gate of Qingshi City, in front of the guards,
this level of Blood Cultivation was already an invincible presence.
“So, this is Qingshi City?”
“Is the Luo Family within this city?”
The middle-aged man wearing the Taoist robe stood with his hands behind his back, squinting slightly,
calmly observing the vast city before him.
What do you think?
