Chapter 260: Chapter 138: The New Cage, Waiting for a Buyer?_2
…
By the time Luo Changfeng had completed this series of actions,
several days had already passed.
“Finally finished…”
“Next, it’s time to throw that Initial Ghost in.”
He thought to himself.
Afterward, he vanished from the small courtyard.
At this moment, in the mysterious space a hundred meters beneath the courtyard,
the Initial Ghost, with its body drenched in blood, eyes bulging, and the three crimson pupils in its eyes still spinning rapidly,
remained trapped within the blood-colored cage.
And above this mysterious space, more than two thousand Blood Prison Talismans were already floating in the void.
The remaining tens of thousands of talismans were still trembling slightly, as if ready to fill in at any moment.
“In several days’ time, one-tenth of the talismans were used up…”
“The consumption of spirit stones has also reached about a thousand…”
He glanced at the remaining quantity of low-grade spirit stones and talismans.
Afterward, Luo Changfeng quietly approached the Initial Ghost.
He reached out and firmly grasped its throat.
The Initial Ghost struggled frantically, roaring incessantly.
It even tried to use its claws and teeth to completely shatter the arm of the human holding its throat.
Alas, it was all in vain.
Its attack power wasn’t even comparable to that of cultivators at the initial stage of Bone Refinement.
The Initial Ghost couldn’t even think about smashing Luo Changfeng’s arm,
let alone break through the thin layer of Qi-Blood Force covering it.
…
After re-imprisoning the Initial Ghost in the fine iron cage, which had been compressed countless times to be forged,
Luo Changfeng then left the mysterious space through the Teleportation Array.
Of course, before leaving,
he casually plucked about a dozen of the best-growing crimson herbs and stored them in his storage bag.
“The Initial Ghost and the Gate of Immortality…”
“They really are a bit of a headache.”
“And there’s also the Carefree Monk, who seems to have stopped coming by.”
Under the Stone Pavilion in the courtyard,
Luo Changfeng sipped the steaming cup of tea in his hands as he pondered silently.
The current situation with the Initial Ghost was still manageable.
But should it continue to grow,
the creature would truly become an increasingly hot potato.
Unwanted, yet unavoidable.
Retaining it, however, would be a major problem.
Besides the Initial Ghost, the situation with Luo Youwei seemed to be getting worse as well.
The sealing of the formation had its limits.
Normally, the formation would indeed be able to seal the last thread of vitality of that youngster Luo Youwei.
However, as time passed,
as the extreme cold qi within that little girl kept accumulating,
and even began to move towards her heart vessels,
Luo Changfeng estimated that, even with the protection of the formation,
the little girl probably had less than three years left.
…
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, another half-month had passed.
In this half-month,
the Luo Family, one of the two major familial forces within Luo Mountain Prefecture, had already gathered over five hundred thousand elite armored troops.
Led by Luo Yong, who possessed the cultivation at the intermediate stage of Organ Refinement,
they continued to march towards the nearby Changping Prefecture.
Seeing the Luo Family expanding outward, the Guan Family, another familial force within Luo Mountain Prefecture,
also organized an army of a full million.
Yes, the number of troops the Guan Family amassed was a terrifying one million,
double that of the Luo Family.
But as for the quality of these soldiers, that was something only the Guan Family knew.
Regardless, the Guan Family had established a strong deterrent.
Whether they could successfully annex some smaller clan forces nearby to strengthen themselves,
nobody could know in advance.
…
Within the Da Feng Dynasty, there are thirteen prefectures.
Each prefecture is also home to a sub-sect of the Wan Dan Sect.
At this moment, within the Da Feng Dynasty, most of the Wan Dan Sect sub-sects had already taken sides.
Either they chose to support the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect or the Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect.
Only the Wan Shan Prefecture Sub-sect, ranked fifth in comprehensive strength,
and the Changping Prefecture Sub-sect, ranked sixth in comprehensive strength,
were still maintaining a neutral stance.
Whether the Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect or the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect, neither of these two major neutral sub-sects had clearly declared their support for either side.
“Wen elder brother, the situation within the sub-sects of the Da Feng Dynasty has gradually become clear,”
“If not the established Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect”
“then the emerging Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect.”
“These two sub-sects are similar in strength, and if we both declare our allegiance to one of them at this time, it would be a timely aid.”
“It could greatly benefit both our parties…”
Inside the prefecture city of the Wan Shan Prefecture, within a very simply arranged courtyard of the Wan Shan Prefecture Sub-sect,
Wen Zaichu, the current Sect Master of the Wan Shan Prefecture Sub-sect, was quietly holding a teacup,
leisurely sipping tea while casually watching the distance.
Next to Wen Zaichu was Feng Qi, the current Sect Master of the Changping Prefecture Sub-sect.
He appeared somewhat anxious as he spoke about something.
“What’s the rush?”
Wen Zaichu put the teacup quietly back on the stone table.
Then, with a somewhat resigned glance at Feng Qi beside him, he said calmly, “The current situation should not make us rush, but rather the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect and the other Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect. These two major sub-sects must win our support to secure the top spot.”
