Chapter 51: Chapter 51: 51 Things Are Getting More Interesting_1

“Now, perhaps all we can do is wait…”

Luo Chuan whispered.

“Wait for what?” Luo Yong’s brows furrowed tightly, his face still covered in anger.

“Silently wait for the right moment…”

“Wait for Blackwind Stockade to make their move…”

After taking a deep breath, Luo Yong turned to his nephew beside him and asked, “Is waiting all we can do?”

“If all we do is wait, then won’t our Luo Family be entirely passive?”

Luo Chuan replied, “Under circumstances where the enemy is hidden and we are exposed, that’s all we can do…”

The conversation between the three of them, Luo Yong, Luo Ping, and Luo Chuan, in the room eventually came to an end.

Although Luo Yong was somewhat reluctant to find himself in such a passive situation against Blackwind Stockade,

the young Luo Chuan had indeed made a valid point.

In situations where the enemy operates in the shadows, and we are out in the open, even if the overall strength of the Luo Family in Qingshi Town is several times greater than that of Blackwind Stockade,

Such advantage in strength still cannot be brought into play.

After the conversation ended, Luo Yong left the room a short while later.

And as Luo Yong’s figure gradually vanished from Luo Chuan and Luo Ping’s sight,

inside this very room,

only Luo Ping and his son Luo Chuan were left.

“Father, I plan to go to Patriarch Changfeng’s courtyard to discuss this matter with him.”

“Will you come with me?”

After a moment of silence, the son Luo Chuan suddenly broke the stillness in the room and said in a low voice to his father Luo Ping.

Luo Ping coughed softly twice, then said, “As you know, with the fall of the Zhao Family and our Luo Family newly in charge of this town,

there are many matters that still require my attention, so…”

Upon hearing this, Luo Chuan nodded silently.

He understood what his father meant.

“Father, if that is the case, I will take my leave now…”

After speaking, Luo Chuan turned and silently left the room.

Qingshi Town, Luo Family Ancestral Land.

The courtyard where Patriarch Luo Changfeng of the Luo Family resided still had a simple and ancient charm.

It was suffused with an air of antiquity, yet it appeared so humble.

“Patriarch Changfeng…”

As Luo Chuan entered the courtyard, it wasn’t long before he saw the figure standing in silence,

emanating an aura of terrifying vitality from his body.

His fists were clenched, and his hands were placed in an odd position—Patriarch Luo Changfeng.

“Is this the Bursting Fist, the most precious Cultivation Technique from the Zhao Family’s lands?”

Watching Patriarch Changfeng’s movements, Luo Chuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Though the Bursting Fist was merely a top-grade commoner-level Cultivation Technique,

comparable to the most precious Fierce Tiger Force from their Luo Family Clan,

Luo Chuan knew that even for the most ordinary top-grade commoner-level Cultivation Technique,

it would take at least three to five months to achieve entrance proficiency,

and that was under the condition of having quite good cultivation talent.

For those with lesser talent, it might take one to two years of practice to even approach the threshold of entry.

“I never would’ve thought that Patriarch Changfeng, in just a short number of days, would be able to practice Bursting Fist to an entrance level or even higher.”

“That’s really freakish…”

Luo Chuan watched this scene and couldn’t help thinking to himself.

Bursting Fist, a top-grade commoner-level skill.

It emphasizes channeling the vast majority of one’s bodily vitality into one arm,

and then, using a peculiar stance.

He released all his power in an instant.

The destructive force was naturally extremely terrifying.

However, Bursting Fist also had some side effects.

That was, after using it once, he could not use it a second time in a short period.

If a large amount of qi and blood were all poured into the arm.

It could even lead to the temporary loss of use of that arm.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“This move can indeed be used as a trump card…”

After throwing a punch, Luo Changfeng slowly retracted his right arm.

He took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

Afterward, he walked under the Stone Pavilion and sat quietly on a stone bench.

With a rather calm expression, he watched Luo Chuan beside him and asked in a low voice, “Did you come to me suddenly because you have something to say?”

Luo Chuan spoke softly, “Patriarch Changfeng, there has been an incident with the Qingshi veins outside Qingshi Town…”

“An incident with the Qingshi veins?”

“Yes, Blackwind Stockade, which dominates the bandit forces outside Qingshi Town, made a move on a part of the Qingshi veins held by our Luo Family last night.”

“Many professionals who were mining the Qingshi veins were killed on the spot.”

“After the massacre by Blackwind Stockade last night, the Qingshi veins that can still function are only one-third of the original number…”

While Luo Changfeng listened silently, he took a teapot from the stone table and poured himself a cup.

He brought it to his lips and took a sip.

Then, raising his head, he looked at Luo Chuan, who still had an immature face, and said softly, “So?”

“So, I plan to hear Patriarch Changfeng’s opinion…”

“You want to hear this old man’s opinion?” Luo Changfeng finished the tea in his hand and gently placed the cup back on the stone table.

Then, he couldn’t help but squint his eyes slightly and said in a low voice, “Don’t you already have a solution in mind?”

“Why come and ask me?”

To this, Luo Chuan fell into silence.

“Lacking confidence?” Luo Changfeng asked.

“I am, somewhat…” Luo Chuan replied, his head slightly lowered.

“Why lack confidence? Just go ahead and do it. It’s only Blackwind Stockade after all; what’s the worst that could happen?”

“I, Luo Changfeng, am not dead yet!”

The conversation between Luo Changfeng and Luo Chuan did not last long.

After a while, Luo Chuan walked out from the courtyard of his Ancestor.

Patriarch Changfeng was indeed right.

It was only Blackwind Stockade, after all.

What was the worst that could happen?

Behind him, he had the support of an Ancestor in the Organ Refinement Realm.

The Luo Family of Qingshi Town would not come to the brink of annihilation.

Besides, did Luo Chuan really have no means of dealing with Blackwind Stockade?

That was not necessarily true!

Before, Luo Chuan had some doubts.

So he was not too bold in making decisions for the family.

But now, the situation was different from before.

“Blackwind Stockade, the ‘Black Tiger’ Xiong Qi…”

“And the forces standing behind Blackwind Stockade…”

While Luo Chuan murmured softly to himself, a bright smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

The situation seemed to be getting more and more interesting.

In the courtyard, as Luo Chuan gradually left, even completely disappearing from Luo Changfeng’s sight,

Luo Changfeng still sat silently on a stone bench under the Stone Pavilion.

In front of him, a translucent golden hand panel hovered in mid-air.

In his eyes, there were bursts of light flashing from time to time.
