In the courtyard, Luo Changfeng watched as the two people before him gradually walked away.
He then opened the golden finger panel that belonged to him alone.
[Name: Luo Changfeng!]
[Lifespan: 3 days+]
[Cultivation: Bone Refinement Perfection+ï¼270/500ï¼]
[Qi-Blood: 1330ï¼-83ï¼(ps: Safe useable Qi-Blood is 50 points!)]
[Cultivation Technique: Mortal Top-Grade?Fierce Tiger Force (Comprehension: 30%+), Mortal Top-Grade?Feng Ying Steps (Comprehension: 4%+)(Incomplete)]
The familiar golden finger panel.
Still that scant few days of lifespan remaining.
Still that Bone Refinement Perfection in cultivation.
Still that total Qi-Blood count of 1330 for the family.
It seems that apart from the experience value behind the cultivation level, and a slight increase in the comprehension of Feng Ying Steps,
there wasnât too much of a change in other things.
âApply todayâs 50 Qi-Blood points entirely to my cultivationâ¦â
[Hostâs intention detected, deducting 50 Qi-Bloodâ¦]
[Cultivation level increasingâ¦]
A cold voice echoed in Luo Changfengâs mind.
A mysterious and powerful force once again surged within his body.
Until that mysterious energy had strengthened the bones in every part of his body,
that force then slowly dissipated.
âDa Feng Dynasty is a breeding ground for chaos, a storm is coming.â
âThis forceful grab at wealth will certainly deplete a wave of the already scarce lifespan of the Da Feng Dynasty.â
âThe true era of chaos, it seems, is really about to beginâ¦â
âFortunately, there is still time.â
âAt least, I can strive to elevate my cultivation to the Organ Refinement Realm, which is above Bone Refinement, before the true chaos descends.â
âOnce I achieve a breakthrough in my cultivation, the issue of insufficient lifespan will be thoroughly resolved.â
âBy then, I can give proper consideration to the growth and expansion of the family and alsoâ¦â
âthe issue of Luo Youweiâs special physique.â
Time flew by swiftly.
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.
Within these three days, a small portion of the family clans seemed unable to withstand the terrible pressure,
and thus sold off the familyâs enterprises.
They amassed a great deal of money and handed it over.
In doing so, they sought to secure the continuation of their family in Qingshi Town.
Of course, there were those who could not withstand the pressure and thus surrendered their wealth, while others wanted to gamble with their fortune to try their luck.
Betting that General Tao Ji, who had suddenly appeared in Qingshi Town, would not dare to act rashly.
Betting that Tao Ji would not dare to unsheathe the slaughter-knife that was silently hidden away.
âMayor Yue, how is the situation now?â
On the city walls of Qingshi Town, which were neither particularly sturdy nor particularly tall,
General Tao Ji, adorned in shining silver armor,
stood silently with his hands behind his back, looking down upon the myriad of beings within Qingshi Town.
âMy lord, the majority of the family clans within Qingshi Town have donated their wealth.â
âBut there is still a small part of the family clans who claim they are truly in difficulty, that there is no surplus gold and silver within the clan, soâ¦â
As Mayor Yue Jun spoke, his voice suddenly dropped.
Not collecting the prescribed gold and silver truly reflected his inadequacy.
âMayor Yue, you have done your best.â
âThere is no need for you to trouble yourself with the remaining matters.â
Tao Ji said expressionlessly and then waved his hand to summon his lieutenant.
After instructing his lieutenant to seal off all the gates in Qingshi Town,
General Tao Ji, clad in shining silver armor, led those elite soldiers wearing dark red armor, who were faintly emitting waves of murderous aura,
towards the direction of those family clans that claimed they had no surplus gold and silver because of genuine difficulties.
Qingshi Town, Luo Family Ancestral Land.
Luo Changfeng, who was sitting and reading a book under the Stone Pavilion in the courtyard,
suddenly put down the book in his hands.
He gazed beyond the courtyard.
âItâs startingâ¦â
He murmured in a low voice.
Then, he stood up and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.
Qingshi Town, Luo Family Ancestral Land.
In the room where the Luo Family Patriarch dealt with family affairs.
Luo Chuan, who was the current Young Master of the Luo Family, suddenly entered this room.
âFather, the slaughter has begunâ¦â
Luo Chuan silently walked up to his father, Luo Ping, and said in a calm tone.
âThe slaughter has begun?â Luo Ping looked up in confusion, furrowing his brows slightly.
âFather, do you want to go see?â
Luo Chuan still spoke emotionlessly, low in volume.
âAre you talking about those foreign soldiers?â
Luo Ping seemed to recall something, finally engaging in the same topic as his son.
âFather, should we go out to see it?â
âThis will be an important moment for the complete collapse of the Da Feng Dynasty.â
Luo Chuan spoke calmly, his slightly immature face so calm it was almost unsettling.
âNo, I still haveâ¦â
âThere are still some matters to attend to here.â
âI wonât go out.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Luo Ping swallowed, suppressing the shiver in his heart and the uneasy feeling.
âIs that so?â
âItâs a pity, Fatherâ¦â
Luo Chuan shook his head in what seemed like regret, then turned and quietly walked out of the room.
It seemed as though the majority of people had a premonition of the impending storm of blood and gore.
Therefore, even in broad daylight,
The vast Qingshi Town was nearly deserted, with only a few pedestrians on the streets.
[Tap tapâ¦]
[Tap tap tapâ¦]
Suddenly, a series of orderly footsteps came from a distance.
As time passed, the sound of these footsteps drew increasingly closer.
âArenât you afraid, little guy?â
Outside the Luo Family Ancestral Land, at the main entrance,
Luo Changfeng looked at the somewhat youthful Luo Chuan.
He silently stepped forward and extended his withered right hand to rest it on the young fellowâs shoulder.
âI feel some instinctual fear, but Iâm not too afraidâ¦â
Luo Chuan turned his head to glance at Patriarch Changfeng standing beside him and said with a composed expression.
âOh?â Luo Changfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, his interest in this young fellow piqued.
âThis army is absolutely elite.â
âThe murderous aura on these soldiers is heavy.â
âInstinctively, there is bound to be fear, but I know they are not targeting me, nor our Luo Family.â
âSo, Iâm a bit scared, but not too muchâ¦â
Luo Chuan explained emotionlessly.
However, when he turned his head back around,
Looking at the somewhat pale face of his Patriarch Changfeng,
Feeling that scent of decay and that aura⦠of a man on his deathbed?
His eyebrows slightly furrowed, and a hint of confusion could not help but show on his expressionless face.
âPatriarch Changfeng, you asked me a question, may I ask one in return?â
Luo Changfeng, his curiosity evidently piqued, chuckled and said, âAsk away.â
âPatriarch Changfeng, as early as half a month, or even a month ago, rumors have been circulating in Qingshi Town, suggesting that youâ¦â
âEven standing by your side, I can clearly feel that youâ¦â
âSo I want to ask, what exactlyâ¦â
Looking at the curiosity plastered over Luo Chuanâs face, Luo Changfeng couldnât help but laugh, âYour question is good, howeverâ¦â
âSuch questions should not be asked again in the future.â
