Chapter 273: Chapter 142: Capturing Changping Prefecture, Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect Secures an Absolute Advantage_3
“`
Under a stone pavilion made of green stone, with a sense of age to it.
At this moment, Luo Changfeng, the Ancestor of the Luo Family, was sitting silently.
Holding a cup of warm tea in one hand, he quietly asked Ruan Liuli, who was standing beside him with a cold white complexion, motionless, and without any change in expression.
“Have the details about the Miao Family of Chenguan Prefecture been thoroughly investigated?”
Ruan Liuli silently nodded, her voice somewhat cold as she said, “The Miao Family of Chenguan Prefecture, overall in strength, is somewhat similar to the Guan Family of Luoshan Prefecture. In the clan, there are approximately five cultivators in the Organ Refinement Realm, while their Ancestor seems to be at the same level as the Guan Family’s Ancestor, both in the Intermediate Stage of Blood Cultivation.”
“Five Organ Refiners, plus an Ancestor in the Intermediate Stage of Blood Cultivation?”
Luo Changfeng murmured softly to himself.
Afterwards, he couldn’t help but narrow his eyes slightly.
Of course, all this information was only approximate.
None of it was necessarily one hundred percent accurate.
Just like with the Ancestors of the Guan and Miao Families.
They declare to the outside world that they’re at the Intermediate Stage of Blood Cultivation.
But actually, who knows to what extent those two major families’ Ancestors have really reached?
Blood Cultivation Late Stage, or even Blood Cultivation Perfection.
These are all possibilities.
“What about the Luo Family of Jiangnan Prefecture?”
“I’ve heard that recently, the days haven’t been easy for the Luo Family of Jiangnan Prefecture…”
Upon hearing this, Ruan Liuli couldn’t help but lower her head slightly.
After pondering for a moment, she said softly, “Under the oppression of the Cui Family of Jiangnan Prefecture and two other major families, the Luo Family of Jiangnan Prefecture has now lost most of their assets, and about one-third of their territory…”
After nodding silently, Luo Changfeng asked again, “How is the overall strength of the Luo Family of Jiangnan Prefecture?”
Ruan Liuli answered softly, “The highest cultivation in the Luo Family of Jiangnan Prefecture is at the Organ Refinement Perfection Realm; they have always failed to break through to the Blood Cultivation Realm, and hence, are constantly suppressed by the Cui Family along with the other two major families of Jiangnan Prefecture.”
…
Having obtained the answers he wanted,
Luo Changfeng waved his hand, dismissing the presence of Ruan Liuli.
Of course, before letting Ruan Liuli leave,
he also gave an order.
That was, if there was a chance, to capture some cultivators at the Organ Refinement Realm from the Luo Family of Jiangnan Prefecture.
After the consumption over this period,
the Shadow Guards holding the cultivators of the Organ Refinement Realm seemed to be running low.
The Qi-Blood Elixir, although cultivators in the Bone Refinement Realm could also barely serve as test subjects,
if it were cultivators in the Organ Refinement Realm to try the elixir,
the effect would ultimately be much better than using those in the Bone Refinement Realm as test subjects.
…
Time slips through the fingers like sand.
In the blink of an eye, another ten days had passed.
In these ten days, the situation within the Da Feng Dynasty had gradually stabilized.
Even within Changli Prefecture,
the two major families who were sworn enemies,
also stopped the impulse to start a war.
After all, there was a Miao Family of Chenguan Prefecture watching covetously nearby.
The two major families within Changli Prefecture, no matter how deep their hatred,
would certainly not let the Miao Family of Chenguan Prefecture take advantage, right?
“`
…
Apart from the situation in the Da Feng Dynasty gradually stabilizing,
within the Da Feng Dynasty, the Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect, which had already been divided into two major factions,
had also slowly settled down over the past ten days or so.
The Wan Shan Valley Sub-sect and the Changping Prefecture Sub-sect.
The actions of these two major sub-sects, although somewhat despicable,
had accepted benefits from the Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect.
However, they chose to publicly support the Luo Mountain Prefecture Sub-sect.
No matter what, the strength of the Wan Shan Valley Sub-sect and the Changping Prefecture Sub-sect was still significant.
Add to that the fact that previously the Luo Mountain Prefecture Sub-sect had already gained a certain advantage,
and now, with the joining of these two major sub-sects,
the faction of the Luo Mountain Prefecture Sub-sect had gradually gained an absolute advantage.
Even more so, as time gradually passed,
the advantage of the Luo Mountain Prefecture Sub-sect had grown to a point where the Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect could no longer recover.
…
Qingshi City, Luo Family Ancestral Land.
Within the courtyard where the Ancestor of the Luo Family resided,
Luo Changfeng was standing silently next to a Yellow Grade lower-tier Furnace Cauldron.
Behind him stood two old men.
One of them held a lower-tier Spiritual Artifact level cane,
while the other, dressed in black clothes and a black hat, looked somewhat unsophisticated.
Indeed, these two were none other than Fu Qiu, the Deputy Sect Master of the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect,
and Zhong Mudao, the current Sect Master of the Zijin Prefecture Sub-sect.
“Brother Luo, although Wan Shan Prefecture and Changping Prefecture’s actions are somewhat shameful,”
“with the joining of these two major sub-sects,”
“our Luo Mountain Prefecture Sub-sect’s advantage has expanded to a point where Changqing Prefecture can no longer turn the tables,” Fu Qiu said, tapping the ground lightly with his cane, his expression slightly excited.
Standing beside Fu Qiu, Zhong Mudao in the black robe and hat added, “In other words, if nothing unexpected happens, the first place among the Da Feng Dynasty sub-sects will surely belong to our Luo Mountain Prefecture Sub-sect.”
Hearing Fu Qiu and Zhong Mudao’s words behind him,
Luo Changfeng couldn’t help but slightly squint his eyes.
“Number one among the sub-sects, huh?” he murmured to himself before walking silently towards the Stone Pavilion nearby.
He sat down quietly and brewed a cup of tea.
It was only after he had poured himself a steaming cup of tea,
that he spoke in a low voice to Fu Qiu and Zhong Mudao in front of him, “Our Luo Mountain Prefecture Sub-sect seizing the first place among the Da Feng Dynasty sub-sects is within reason. However, besides this matter today, I have another issue I wish to discuss with you both in detail…”
Underneath the Stone Pavilion, after exchanging a glance, Fu Qiu and Zhong Mudao asked in a somewhat puzzled tone, “Brother Luo, what is it?”
Luo Changfeng, however, did not directly say anything in response.
Instead, he waved his hand and took out a talisman carved with mysterious and intricate patterns.
“Do you know what this is?” Luo Changfeng asked in a low voice.
