Chapter 234: Chapter 130: The Strong Rise of the Guan Family of Luo Mountain Prefecture, The Idea of Selling Talismans_1
It seemed but the blink of an eye.
Time had once again passed by more than half a month.
In this half a month’s time,
at the border between Huai Shui County and Qingqu County,
the friction between the Huai Shui County Luo Family and the Qingqu County Liang Family had gradually become more frequent.
From the initial skirmishes two or three times a day, and a major battle every three to five days,
it had reached the point where there was almost a large battle every day.
The losses between the two sides had also seen a significant increase.
Countless armored soldiers fell at the borderlands of the two counties.
Even some practitioners at the Skin Refinement and even Bone Refinement stages had fallen in numbers during this half month.
Faced with such a situation, the Liang Family of Qingqu County was gritting its teeth and holding on.
However, on the side of the Huai Shui County Luo Family, the atmosphere was overwhelmingly positive.
Because anyone could see,
the Liang Family of Qingqu County was about to falter.
The day the Liang Family chose to bow their heads in defeat was not far off.
…
Qingshi County City, Luo Family Ancestral Land.
In the room where the Luo Family Patriarch was located,
at this moment, Luo Ping was dealing with government affairs with Lu Jun, the Family Head of the Lu Family, in this very room.
But as they were processing…
Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family, suddenly knitted his brows slightly.
A heavy expression gradually emerged on his face.
[Three days ago, the Guan Family of Luo Mountain Prefecture, the helmsman of the prefectural city, mobilized five hundred thousand elite armored troops, and in a very short time, they steamrolled the neighboring Qingfeng District, hence the Guan Family of Luo Mountain Prefecture, commanding two districts under their banner!]
[Yesterday, the Guan Family of Luo Mountain Prefecture once again mobilized a large army, claiming to be two million strong, and heavily surrounded the neighboring White Bird District…]
Looking at the information on the document in his hand,
Luo Ping’s complexion couldn’t help but become increasingly heavy.
Luo Mountain Prefecture, Guan Family
This was already the strongest faction among the eight districts of Luo Mountain Prefecture.
The Liang Family of Qingqu County ranked second.
And now, while the Liang Family of Qingqu County and the Huai Shui County Luo Family were locked in unending conflict,
the Guan Family suddenly mobilized a large army and swiftly overran the entire Qingfeng District.
Moreover, just yesterday,
they surrounded the White Bird District, which was near Luo Mountain Prefecture City.
With this, the situation within the entire Luo Mountain Prefecture City changed instantly.
The balance that had been maintained within Luo Mountain Prefecture,
would also be completely shattered by the Guan Family.
“Family Head of the Lu Family, what do you make of this?”
After a long silence, Luo Ping suddenly asked in a low voice to Lu Jun, who had also been silently beside him.
“Luo Mountain Prefecture, Guan Family…” Lu Jun slightly narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, then spoke softly, “The original Guan Family of Luo Mountain Prefecture was already the strongest among these eight districts. Now that the Guan Family of Luo Mountain Prefecture commands two districts, and has also surrounded the territory of the White Bird District,
“if left unchecked and uncontrolled…”
“the power of the Guan Family will rapidly expand at an extremely fast pace.”
“Until it swallows the entire Luo Mountain Prefecture City.”
…
Lu Jun’s voice slowly echoed through the room.
Luo Ping, hearing these words, could not help but deepen the gravity on his face.
What Lu Jun said was not without reason.
Luo Mountain Prefecture, Guan Family.
This was the strongest faction within Luo Mountain Prefecture City.
This applied both to the vast army at their disposal and to the Ancestor of the Guan Family.
Their strength was considered the strongest in the entire prefecture.
And now, the Guan Family, taking advantage of the deadlock between the Luo Family of Huai Shui County and the Liang Family of Qingqu County,
directly chose to mobilize their forces, first overtaking Qingfeng District.
Then they deployed their troops again, heavily surrounding the territory of White Bird District.
Consequently, if the Guan Family truly captured the territory of three districts,
the Guan Family would likely become a colossus within the entire Luo Mountain Prefecture.
The so-called balance within Luo Mountain Prefecture would be completely disrupted from then on.
“Qingqu County Liang Family…”
In the room, Luo Ping slightly lifted his head, murmuring softly.
Next, he might have to consider proposing a truce with the Liang Family.
But a truce is just a truce.
The Liang Family of Qingqu County was ultimately the one who took the offensive.
The price they needed to pay, the compensation given to the Luo Family, was ultimately unavoidable.
Thus, with this thought in mind,
Luo Ping and Lu Jun in the room gradually began to discuss.
What kind of demands should they make,
that the Liang Family of Qingqu County could agree to while maximizing the compensation.
…
In a mysterious courtyard within the Luo Family Ancestral Land,
Luo Changfeng, the Ancestor of the Luo Family.
At this moment, he was sitting tranquilly in the Stone Pavilion.
He held a cup of hot tea in his hands, watching the distance with a calm demeanor.
Sitting by his side, clad in a black tight-fitting outfit with cold fair skin,
was Ruan Liuli, her delicate little face emotionless.
And the youth known as Abyss, possessing the Organ Refinement Late Stage cultivation and serving as the second Commander of the Shadow Guard,
was at that time carrying out a task assigned by Luo Changfeng.
That was to infiltrate Luo Mountain Prefecture City, into the midst of the Guan Family,
to investigate the true state of affairs of the Guan Family.
Domination, troops, populace?
Ever since Luo Changfeng reached the Blood Cultivation stage, his longing for these things had gradually waned.
In the world of cultivation, it is the survival of the fittest, where the strong feed upon the weak.
