Chapter 135: Chapter 97 The Luo Family’s Strong Rise, Securing the Spiritual Artifact Crimson Bell_1
The next day, early morning.
After dealing with the affairs of those five towns,
Luo Yong returned with his troops to the Luo Family Ancestral Land.
In those five towns, he didn’t leave behind too many soldiers.
The Ding Family of East Earth Town, along with the Five Towns Alliance,
were crushed by the Luo Family.
The remaining family powers within those five towns, how would they dare to easily contend with the Luo Family?
Moreover, Luo Yong had left behind a thorn in their side with the Zhang Family in East Earth Town.
Thus, he didn’t need to worry too much about the situation over there.
Anyways, the following matters could be left to that guy Luo Ping.
Military affairs, military affairs.
The military matters, he would handle.
As for affairs of state, they had nothing to do with him.
…
Qingshi Town, Luo Family Ancestral Land.
In a courtyard emanating bursts of ancient charm.
“Patriarch Changfeng, have a look at this object…”
By the Stone Pavilion, Luo Yong took out a charred, damaged sphere from his sleeve
as he whispered to the elder in front of him.
“Oh?”
“Isn’t this a lower-grade defensive spiritual artifact from the secular world?”
“Where did this come from?”
Luo Changfeng, who had studied artifact refining for some time, naturally recognized what the object before him was.
“I got it from an elder of the Ding Family who was in the Organ Refinement Realm.”
“Initially, I was thinking of conserving the use of Thunderstrike Talismans.”
“So, I only activated a hundred of them.”
“But who would have thought, that old patriarch of the Ding Family actually withstood the combined damage of a hundred Thunderstrike Talismans and still tried to flee to the distance.”
“Having no other choice, I had to activate the remaining two hundred Thunderstrike Talismans.”
“And I directly blasted that old patriarch of the Ding Family into smithereens.”
Luo Yong spoke with a slightly helpless expression.
Thunderstrike Talismans, these were good items indeed!
Yet, a full three hundred of them had been wasted on that old patriarch of the Ding Family.
Luo Yong truly felt a bit heartbroken about it.
“The Ding Family’s old patriarch?”
Luo Changfeng’s eyes slightly narrowed, he knew full well the potency of the talismans he himself had crafted.
Under normal circumstances, a hundred Thunderstrike Talismans
could kill or severely injure a cultivator at the Initial Stage of Viscera Refinement.
Yet on that old patriarch of the Ding Family,
they had used three hundred Thunderstrike Talismans.
It was evident that it must have been this lower-grade defensive spiritual artifact that had played a role.
“I’ll study this thing later.”
“If there’s nothing else, you may leave.”
Luo Changfeng took the damaged spiritual artifact from Luo Yong’s hand.
Afterwards, he waved his hand, indicating that Luo Yong could leave.
Following Luo Yong’s departure from the courtyard,
Luo Changfeng then focused his attention on the damaged lower-grade defensive spiritual artifact in his hands.
“I wonder, can this thing still be repaired…”
“Why not give it a try?”
…
About half an hour later,
Luo Changfeng ultimately failed in his attempt to repair the spiritual artifact.
The main reason was due to the flame.
“Without Spiritual Fire or Beast Fire,”
“there really is no way to refine artifacts.”
After shaking his head in resignation, Luo Changfeng continued to craft elixirs.
This time, he didn’t continue with the Epiphyllum Elixir.
The progress of the previous thousand Detoxification Pills was still lacking the final hundred or so.
Going forward, more effort was still needed!
…
As East Earth Town and the other four towns fell to the Luo Family,
the reputation of the Luo Family of Qingshi Town
began to skyrocket wildly during this period.
Whether it was the Chen Family, the Tang Family, or King of Huai Shui Feng Wentai’s side,
they all gradually began to take the Luo Family seriously.
The Luo Family had cultivators at the Organ Refinement Realm,
they had troops,
and they had territory.
Even though the Tang Family, Chen Family, or King of Huai Shui were somewhat reluctant to acknowledge the Luo Family’s strength,
there was no denying that the current Luo Family
seemed to truly possess the qualifications to wrestle with these three forces.
…
In Huai Shui County, within the County City,
within the residence of King of Huai Shui Feng Wentai,
Feng Wentai, who was the King, quietly stayed inside a cool room,
silently looking at the huge map before him.
The map delineated the various powers within Huai Shui County,
with the Tang Family, Chen Family, and his own forces
controlling the vast majority of the territory within the county.
And the Luo Family of Qingshi Town was located in some inconspicuous corner of Huai Shui County,
extremely unremarkable.
Of course, that was the Luo Family of before.
The current Luo Family was a bit different.
The Luo Family now owned lands of seven towns.
They had close to a hundred thousand armored elite troops, and apparently, gathering two hundred thousand would not pose much problem.
Under their command, they also had more than three million subjects.
And this was just a rough estimate.
If counted carefully, it might have already exceeded three million and reached over four million.
Even though Feng Wentai was somewhat unwilling to admit to the Luo Family’s strength,
the overall power of the Luo Family truly possessed the ability to threaten King Feng Wentai’s position.
“So, was my previous decision wrong?”
“At the time when the Luo Family of Qingshi Town had not yet risen,
should I have sent troops to exterminate them?”
Feng Wentai’s eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed at the huge map before him, pondering silently in his heart.
However, he soon shook his head.
His decision was not wrong.
Ignoring the Luo Family of Qingshi Town and continuously targeting the Tang Family was not a mistake.
