Chapter 589: Chapter 282: The Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect Gradually Gains Attention_2
“These tricks really are plentiful…”
He murmured softly.
Moments later, Feng Wumian silently shook his head.
In this Xuanyuan Continent, strength was ultimately paramount.
Sometimes, strategies were indeed important.
But one’s own strength was actually the most important thing.
...
Otherwise, no matter how many so-called plans there were,
they too would become delusions in the end.
…
Da Feng Dynasty, Luo Mountain Prefecture.
Deep within Luo Family Ancestral Land of Qingshi City,
there sat Luo Changfeng in a small courtyard that radiated an aura of age and mystery.
Beneath a stone pavilion built of blue stone,
he was quietly sitting at this place.
Holding a cup of tea in his hand, he sipped and contemplated in silence.
“How is the situation on Fu Qiu’s side?”
Suddenly, Luo Changfeng asked in a low voice.
The figure standing silently by his side, the second-in-command among the Shadow Guard Three Great Commanders known as Yuan,
pondered for a moment before responding in a low voice, “The Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect has received a large number of rare treasures provided by the Royal Yan Family of the Great Flame Dynasty. Now the Yan Family is asking when the sub-sect can offer a certain level of support?”
Luo Changfeng expressed his surprise, “They’ve shown their hand so directly already?”
After thinking it over, he nodded.
It seemed quite normal, after all.
Aside from himself and some high-ranking members of the sub-sect,
no one else knew of the relationship between the Luo Family of Qingshi City and the Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect.
And for the Royal Yan Family of the Great Flame Dynasty, being straightforward in order to gain the support of the Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect was a very normal thing to do.
“In that case, tell that guy Fu Qiu,”
“to delay as much as possible.”
“Don’t pay too much attention to the requests from the Royal Yan Family of the Great Flame Dynasty.”
“After all, we already have what we need.”
Luo Changfeng spoke softly.
And the youth, wearing black robes and known as Yuan, bowed his head slightly.
The figure then twisted, and with a breeze blowing by,
the one known as Yuan, one of the Shadow Guard Three Great Commanders, vanished from the courtyard,
as if he had never been there at all.
“This kid…”
Luo Changfeng watched the direction in which Yuan had left,
smiling as he shook his head.
He then picked up the cup of hot tea in his hand once more,
sipping from it bit by bit.
His expression remained calm and unchanged, save for a slight subtlety in his gaze,
everything else appeared tranquil and natural.
“Now, the bait has been cast.”
“The items are in our hands.”
“The fish has already bitten.”
“Next, we’ll see when it would be best to close the net.”
As Luo Changfeng pondered,
he suddenly narrowed his eyes.
His gaze drifted toward the direction of the Da Feng Dynasty’s Imperial Feng Family.
The Yan Family had indeed taken the bait,
but it was the Feng Family…
Lately, they seemed unnaturally calm,
even showing signs of preserving their forces.
Could it be that the Da Feng Dynasty’s Imperial Feng Family had noticed something?
Or was it simply that the Feng Family wanted to wait and see,
to observe how the Royal Yan Family would act after gaining the support of the Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect?
As he continued to think, Luo Changfeng soon cast these thoughts to the back of his mind.
No matter the situation,
taking it one step at a time was naturally the most prudent approach.
After all, as long as he didn’t actively cause trouble,
the risk would naturally be reduced to the lowest level.
…
Before long, it was noon.
The sun hung high in the sky,
its scorching rays incessantly beating down upon the land, making many feel unbearably hot.
In Luo Family Clan land of Qingshi City,
inside the room of the Luo Family Patriarch,
At this moment, Luo Ping, the current Luo Family Patriarch, was sitting quietly in the main seat.
Gazing at the political affairs in his hands, he slightly furrowed his brows.
The atmosphere in this room seemed to grow tense as Luo Ping’s brows knitted together.
And thus, gradually became somewhat oppressive.
Of course, this oppressive atmosphere
did not affect Luo Yao, who sat beside Luo Ping and was being groomed as the next Family Head by the Luo Family.
On the contrary, Luo Yao even used this oppressive atmosphere

to better slack off and loaf around during working hours.
However, slacking off is one thing,
but some superficial tasks naturally could not be neglected.
After all, it was because of his image that people noticed him slacking off.
He could not afford to make the same mistake a second time.
“Hmm?”
“Has someone arrived?”
Upon detecting the approaching footsteps,
Luo Yao, who was seated next to Luo Ping, slightly lifted his head and looked toward the direction from which the footsteps came.
Indeed, soon after,
a black-clothed cultivator suddenly appeared within the room.
After the black-clothed cultivator reached in front of Luo Ping,
he knelt on one knee, his head slightly bowed.
His face was full of reverence.
“How are things?”
Luo Ping asked the person before him in a low voice.
“Patriarch, the attacks from the Royal Yan Family of the Great Flame Dynasty have become increasingly relentless,”
“In many places, the Yan Family has even been willing to sacrifice a large number of soldiers just to gain a slight advantage on the battlefield,”
“Those smaller powers outside the Da Feng Dynasty have also contributed significantly this time,”
“On the other hand, the Imperial Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty, though they have continued to attack recently, but…”
“It seems like the Imperial Feng Family is holding back some of their strength,”
“I always feel like the Imperial Feng Family is wary of something.”
Luo Ping nodded.
Then he waved his hand,
and it wasn’t until the black-clothed cultivator had vanished from the room
that Luo Ping, still sitting in the main seat, slowly sighed.
In recent times, the pressure on the Luo Family of Qingshi City had grown even greater.
The attacks from the Great Flame Dynasty, as well as those smaller family powers,
had not only brought tremendous pressure to the borderlands of the Luo Family of Qingshi City but also posed a great threat.
Now, it must be said that,
although the Luo Family had rapidly risen in recent years,
if it was just a comparison of heritage and comprehensive strength,
the Luo Family of Qingshi City was indeed somewhat inferior to the Royal Yan Family of the Great Flame Dynasty.
This also made the Imperial Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty an even less likely match.
However, fortunately, the alliance between the two imperial powers,
had seemingly undergone some unknown changes in recent times.
Therefore, the Imperial Feng Family had not exerted much effort in waging war.
…
After much deliberation,
Luo Ping, sitting in the main seat, turned his gaze to Luo Yao, who was holding a political document, apparently dealing with affairs.
“What’s the situation with the White Brahma Temple now?”
“What’s their attitude toward the matter we proposed?”
“Do they plan to sit idly on the high platform?”
“Or do they intend to stand with our Luo Family of Qingshi City?”
Luo Yao turned his head.
After swallowing his saliva, he said in a low voice, “I am still dealing with this matter…”
In fact, to put it nicely, he was “dealing” with it.
Bluntly put,
he was considering how to handle the situation.
Even though it was purely because the Luo Family of Qingshi City had been driven to a desperate situation,
therefore, they could only stand with the White Brahma Temple on the same front,
the risks associated with the White Brahma Temple, known as one of the Three Great Demonic Forces of Buddhism,
were, of course, indisputable.
So, Luo Ping had been hesitating during this time,
wondering what to do next.
Should he really draw out the power of the White Brahma Temple to relieve some pressure on his Luo Family of Qingshi City?
Or should he consider if there’s another solution?
“Alas, forget it.”
“I’ll go and ask Elder Changfeng for clarity later,”
“Although, I feel Elder Changfeng has already acquiesced to this matter…”
