Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood

Chapter 681: Chapter 328: Qiuyue City, Lu Family_2
 

Luo Yao heard these words and couldn’t help but fall silent.

Qiuyue City?

A large city with a population of about five million?

Actually, where exactly is Qiuyue City?

How big is its area?

About all this, Luo Yao wasn’t so concerned anymore.

Nowadays, the only thing he was more concerned about was,

this Qiuyue City actually lies within the territory controlled by his Qingshi City Luo Family?

Moreover, the location of Qiuyue City is right outside Qingshi City?

Unbelievable, this is really somewhat preposterous.

If the location of Qiuyue City were outside the territory controlled by his Qingshi City Luo Family,

no matter if it were in the territory of the Da Feng Dynasty’s Imperial Feng Family,

or even outside the territory of the Da Feng Dynasty,

that would be acceptable.

But now, the Shadow Guard actually told him,

that the place where Qiuyue City is located, is within the territory controlled by his Qingshi City Luo Family.

Moreover, Qiuyue City is right outside Qingshi City.

This made Luo Yao feel somewhat incredulous.

He found it hard to believe, how did the Lu Family of Qiuyue City dare to do such a thing?

Did the Lu Family of Qiuyue City think that what they did was so clean, that no one would come to know of it?

Or did the Lu Family of Qiuyue City believe that his Qingshi City Luo Family wouldn’t care at all about the tax issues?

“Qiuyue City, Lu Family…”

“It seems that when I return, I must make a trip to that so-called Qiuyue City.”

“I really want to see, that so-called Lu Family…”

“What kind of family power they really are.”

“I really want to see, how the Lu Family dare to do such a thing…”

After muttering to himself.

Luo Yao silently lifted his head and shifted his gaze toward the front, not far away.

There, a young child was baring his upper body, holding a Spiritual Sword.

One strike, one strike, repeatedly swinging toward the front.

Although Luo Yao was not particularly familiar with the Sword Dao,

even so, he could still tell from the sword in that kid Luo Ze’s hands that the emotions in the boy’s heart at this moment were quite complex.

Simply put, it was a mess.

He wanted to straighten things out, but again, it seemed difficult to know where to begin.

“Elder Changfeng used to say that apart from one’s own realm, there is also the state of the heart.”

“Compared to the realms one can break through, this Heart Realm…”

“Is intangible and elusive.”

“You want to break through forcefully, but you don’t know where to start.”

“Before, I didn’t quite understand it.”

“But now, seeing this kid Luo Ze like this, I seem to have gotten a bit of insight.”

Smiling slightly, he shook his head,

then Luo Yao moved his gaze to another direction.

The matter of Heart Realm, only Luo Ze could help himself.

Apart from that kid himself, no one else could help him.

To walk out of this confusion,

that kid could only rely on himself.

…

As time passed by,

soon, another day had gone by.

At midday,

there was a scorching sun hanging high in the sky.

The fierce sunlight continuously shone down on people’s heads.

This caused countless faces to turn somewhat red.

“Azé, do you think…”

“that the Ma Family of Dai Mountain City is doing this for me to see?”

In Dai Mountain City, on a bustling street congested with moving people and traffic,

there was Luo Yao, the successor to the Family Head of the Qingshi City Luo Family.

He was squinting his eyes at the moment,

looking calmly at the vibrant Ma Family compound not far away.

He whispered to Luo Ze, who was standing beside him holding a Spiritual Sword, with an expressionless face.

Upon hearing this, Luo Ze silently shook his head,

implying that he did not know,

so, he should not be asked such questions.

And as for that kid Luo Ze’s response, Luo Yao was not surprised at all.

After all, wasn’t this kid always like this?

“The Ma Family’s succession to the Family Headship…”

“The next Family Head taking position…”

“Hmm, interesting, quite interesting…”

After mumbling to himself in a low voice,

Luo Yao turned around and silently walked towards the distance.

In fact, at the break of dawn earlier,

Ma Zhong, the current Family Head of Dai Mountain City’s Ma Family, had invited both Luo Yao and Luo Ze to witness a ceremony in their family territory.

However, regarding this matter,

Luo Yao expressed his lack of interest.

Therefore, he did not go to the Ma Family of Dai Mountain City.

Although he didn’t attend the ceremony at the territory of the Ma Family in Dai Mountain City,

he had almost settled the matters regarding the brothel and the gambling house,

So, after taking a brief look,

he planned to leave Dai Mountain City.

“Considering the time, it’s about time to check out that so-called Qiuyue City.”

“I do have some curiosity,”

“Curious about what kind of move the Lu Family inside Qiuyue City will make after learning of my arrival.”

After pondering, Luo Yao suddenly shook his head to himself.

The Shadow Guard was always known for its secrecy.

Perhaps, at this moment, the Lu Family in Qiuyue City knows nothing about what happened at the Drunken Moon Pavilion.

…

At the Ma Family estate in Dai Mountain City,

inside a hall filled with many people,

Ma Zhong, the current Family Head of the Ma Family in Dai Mountain City, was squinting his eyes, standing silently in a remote corner.

“How is it going?”

Ma Zhong asked in a calm voice, whispering to a servant in front of him.

“Family Head, the Young Family Head from the Luo Family of Qingshi City has already left…”

“It seems he plans to depart from Dai Mountain City.”

The servant bowed his head, speaking in a low voice full of respectful tones.

“He left?”

“Planning to leave Dai Mountain City?”

Squinting his eyes slightly, Ma Zhong pondered for a moment before he waved his hand to dismiss the servant in front of him.

He returned to the center of the hall.

The inauguration ceremony for the new Family Head of Dai Mountain City, as the current Family Head of the Ma Family, he naturally still needed to make an appearance.

If he were absent at such a time,

that would be somewhat improper.

…

In the blink of an eye, several days had passed.

Outside Qingshi City, not far away, there was a city named Qiuyue City, home to more than five million people in a large metropolis.

Luo Yao, who would be the next Luo Family Head,

was now squinting his eyes slightly, tilting his head up, calmly observing the city before him.

The first impression Qiuyue City gave him was its size, it was very large.

Of course, this was in comparison to Dai Mountain City.

If compared to Qingshi City, where his Luo Family was located…

Then Qiuyue City would seem quite insignificant by comparison.

However, after a long look,

it seemed that other than its size, Qiuyue City didn’t have any other notable advantages.

Qiuyue City was large, and its city walls were high.

But looking at the city walls, weathered and full of the marks of time,

he could tell that the Lu Family in Qiuyue City hadn’t spent much money on it.

The governance at the level of the Qiuyue City officials must also be quite poor.

Otherwise, something like the city walls, the face of a city, if they had a bit of money, they would typically make them look better, more majestic.

Although now, the function of these city walls was nearly obsolete.

“It’s about time.”

“Let’s go.”

After looking for a while, Luo Yao slowly exhaled a breath.

He said in a low voice to Luo Ze by his side.

Luo Ze did not respond; he simply kept a silent expression, gripping a Spiritual Sword tightly in his hand, closely following by Luo Yao’s side.

…

Due to some strict rules of the Luo Family of Qingshi City,

there were free pathways to enter the city.

Besides these free pathways, there were also paid ones for entering the city.

And Luo Yao, the heir and next Family Head of the Luo Family, naturally chose…

The free pathway.

Not for any other reason; he was just curious.

Curious to see what the free entrance to Qiuyue City looked like.

The Lu Family of Qiuyue City, daring to tamper with tax collection,

would they not have had crooked thoughts about the entrance pathways?

About this, Luo Yao was somewhat skeptical.
