Chapter 264: Chapter 139: Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect Takes Absolute Advantage, Turn Bai Family?_3
Before the sky was fully light,
when the air around was still below freezing.
In Changping Prefecture, Lingfeng County, within the Bai Family ancestral land.
Inside the room where the Family Head of the Bai Family resided,
at that time Bai Yigang, the current Family Head, had already awoken early, sitting silently in the seat of honor.
He flipped through the papers in his hand while inwardly heaving a sigh.
Originally, Bai Yigang’s initial thought was,
to possess the lands of two counties, and live at ease.
If possible, to act as a local emperor within these two counties.
Then, to continuously expand and strengthen the Bai Family.
If they encountered an enemy they could not resist, they would choose to surrender immediately.
There’s no shame in losing and surrendering,
at least you would still be alive.
If you cannot win, but still stubbornly resist, that would truly be like lighting a lamp in a latrine, seeking death.
…
At the beginning,
the Luo Mountain Prefecture, with its four counties,
and the Luo Family that even had an ancestor who had reached the Blood Refinement Realm,
had gathered an army of over five hundred thousand elite soldiers clad in armor, relentlessly advancing this way,
Bai Yigang had already thought about surrendering to the Luo Family,
and then living under the Luo Family’s control.
After all, the Luo Family from Luo Mountain Prefecture
was not an easy opponent.
They were absolutely formidable.
Back then, how many family powers had fallen at the hands of the Luo Family?
Even if we do not speak of the four counties under the Luo Family,
Just the Luo Family ancestral land alone, that ancestor rumored to have reached the Blood Refinement Realm, could easily crush all the family powers in Changping Prefecture like crushing ants.
So, when the Luo Family arrived, he was prepared to surrender immediately.
That was not something to be ashamed of.
However, what Bai Yigang had not anticipated was…
The Huang and Chen Families, damn it, were acting like madmen, actually thinking of a head-on clash with the Luo Family from Luo Mountain Prefecture.
If you want to fight the Luo Family, so be it,
but what’s the meaning of dragging my Bai Family into this?
My Bai Family has no great ambitions; I just hope the family can continue to survive through these chaotic times.
If, in the meantime, the family could grow stronger, that would be even better.
But now you have implicated my Bai Family into the camp opposed to the Luo Family,
which has caused Bai Yigang quite a headache during this period.
He was somewhat at a loss about what to do?
“Luo Mountain Prefecture, Luo Family…”
Inside the room, Bai Yigang murmured softly,
Just thinking about it made his head start to throb slightly again.
“Or should I just find an opportunity to run away?”
Suddenly, such a thought began to emerge in Bai Yigang’s mind.
If he remembered correctly, that was exactly what the Liang Family from Qingqu County did when they opposed the Luo Family,
decisively relocating their entire family out of the Da Feng Dynasty,
allowing the entire Liang Family to seize the chance to continue surviving.
But Bai Yigang just pondered this for a moment before he silently shook his head.
The current situation of his Bai Family was not the same as that of the Liang Family from Qingqu County back then.
Changping Prefecture, such a small place,
any slight occurrence could spread throughout the entire prefecture and its six counties.
Not to mention, right now, both the Huang and Chen Families were probably keeping a close watch on his Bai Family.
So much for thinking about running away.
Just a small move would be detected by the Huang and Chen Families.
While Bai Yigang was feeling quite troubled and concerned about the future continuation of his family,
a figure suddenly appeared in this room.
“Bai Family Head…”
The figure’s owner had a slightly hunched posture.
and he just silently stared at Bai Yigang in front of him.
“Who are you?”
Bai Yigang narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of wariness gradually surfaced in his gaze.
This person was not simple.
To be able to bypass the Luo Family’s house servants and guards and directly enter this room,
their cultivation must at least be at the realm of Viscera Refinement.
“Luo Family steward, Luo Dong…”
Luo Dong smiled faintly, walked forward silently, and said in a low voice.
“Luo Family steward?”
Bai Yigang frowned slightly, and after a flash of confusion in his eyes, he asked, “Elder, what brings you to my Bai Family?”
As Bai Yigang finished speaking,
Luo Dong couldn’t help but take a few more steps forward.
However, before he could reach Bai Yigang,
Luo Dong was stopped by an elderly person dressed in gray, with white hair and beard, and a face full of wrinkles.
It seemed as if he had one foot already in the coffin.
The old fellow in front of him was an ancient ancestor hidden within the Bai Family Clan land.
His cultivation level was comparable to Luo Dong’s, both being in the Intermediate Stage of Organ Refinement.
However, Luo Dong was at the peak of the Intermediate Stage of Organ Refinement,
whereas the old man had only just entered the Intermediate Stage of the realm.
If the two of them were to fight…
the winner would only be Luo Dong.
…
He stopped in his tracks.
Luo Dong straightened his back slightly,
and glanced at the Bai Family’s old ancestor, whose eyes were filled with wariness.
Then, with a calm expression, he said in a low voice,
“Our Family Head sent me here to offer your Bai Family a way to survive.”
Bai Yigang looked at his own clan’s old ancestor beside him,
and after the fear and unease in his heart slightly subsided,
he looked at Luo Dong, the old steward from the Luoshan Prefecture Luo Family.
“May I ask what you mean by these words, Elder?”
Bai Yigang asked in a low voice.
The old steward Luo Dong then smiled faintly and stepped forward, presenting a letter written by the current Luo Family Head, Luo Ping.
“What is this?”
Bai Family Head Bai Yigang took the letter from Luo Dong,
opened it, and after reading it carefully,
he finally understood what Luo Dong meant by offering his Bai Family a lifeline.
“If that is the case…”
“For my Bai Family to join the Luo Family, it is not impossible.”
“But there is one condition; I wonder if the Luo Family can agree to it?”
Luo Dong said in a low voice, “Bai Family Head, please speak plainly.”
Bai Yigang set down the letter in his hand, took a deep breath, and said quietly, “I have heard that within Qingshi City, it is like spring all year round, with no knowledge of cold or heat, which is extremely suitable for living, so… I wonder if the Luo Family can grant a piece of land for my Bai Family members to use?”
After Bai Yigang’s request was voiced,
Luo Dong fell silent in the room.
Bai Yigang looked at Luo Dong in front of him, and his heart suddenly became a little flustered.
Had he asked for too much?
Or perhaps, forget about wanting the land?
Just as Bai Yigang was about to speak up and say something, Luo Dong directly agreed to his request.
