Chapter 570: Chapter 569 - 272: Can It Be Blocked?_2

“It seems to have already broken through the two thousand mark.”

“Indeed, very good.”

Luo Changfeng looked at everything before him, and at the blood-colored grass that grew sparsely across various places.

He couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.

With the current scale of this blood-colored grass.

The future output of Qi-Blood Elixirs will only increase.

However, when harvesting the blood-colored grass, moderation is still necessary.

Intelligent people naturally would not engage in activities akin to draining a pond to catch all the fish.

Only by continually cultivating the blood-colored grass at its current scale and allowing its size to increase steadily.

For Luo Changfeng, this was a genuinely good thing.

…

Rotating the Qi-Blood Force within his body.

After picking enough blood-colored grass to refine five hundred Qi-Blood Elixirs.

Luo Changfeng continued walking forward.

This secret chamber wasn’t particularly large.

Before Luo Changfeng had gone far, he was already not far from the other end of the chamber.

At this moment, looking up,

One could see a fine iron cage, neither too big nor too small, about two meters tall, quietly placed there.

Inside that fine iron cage lay a corpse.

The appearance of the corpse was somewhat strange.

Let alone the entire Northern Desolate Divine Continent, even within the Xuanyuan Continent, there probably weren’t many people who could identify the identity of this bizarre corpse.

Aside from those at the higher echelons of the Gate of Immortality.

“Have you remained alive all this time?”

Luo Changfeng silently watched the Initial Ghost before him.

He looked at the empty eye sockets of the Initial Ghost.

His expression remained calm and unchanged.

“This tenacity of life is indeed strong.”

“Even merely by absorbing the aura of blood evil in the air, it’s enough to survive.”

“It seems then that this Initial Ghost has formed a subtle balance with the blood-colored grass…”

He thought quietly to himself.

Afterward, Luo Changfeng turned around and silently left.

Since he had already obtained the blood-colored grass,

There was no need to stay any longer.

As for why he had told the Carefree Monk to come after seven days?

The main reason was that Luo Changfeng wanted to research the refinement of the second-generation Qi-Blood Elixirs first.

The first-generation Qi-Blood Elixirs were indeed powerful,

But Luo Changfeng could distinctly feel,

That the power of the second-generation Qi-Blood Elixirs would certainly be far greater than that of the first generation.

Even though the second-generation Qi-Blood Elixirs had not yet been created.

However, due to the scarcity of the blood-colored grass,

This had led to little progress in Luo Changfeng’s research on the second-generation Qi-Blood Elixirs.

…

As time passed,

In the blink of an eye, another three days had gone by.

Qingshi City, Luo Family Ancestral Land.

Inside the room where the Luo Family Patriarch was located,

Luo Ping, the current Patriarch of the Luo Family, was sitting quietly in the main seat.

His head was slightly bowed, and he was flipping through a report processed by his think tank.

Standing silently in front of him was a middle-aged man.

At the moment, beads of sweat the size of beans were slowly forming on his forehead.

It seemed that this man was quite nervous.

“Right,”

Suddenly, Luo Ping put down the report in his hand, raised his head, and asked in a low voice, “What’s your name again?”

The middle-aged man standing in the room was still bowing his head, not daring to make eye contact with Luo Ping.

However, he quickly responded to Luo Ping’s question.

“Subordinate’s name is Lin Dao.”

“From one of the Five Great Families in Qingshi City’s Inner City, the Lin Family, that’s the family this subordinate belongs to.”

Lin Dao said nervously,@@novelbin@@

Even his speech was slightly quivering.

Of course, when referring to the Five Great Families of Qingshi City’s Inner City, it does not include the Qingshi City Luo Family.

The Luo Family is the ruler of this land,

The ultimate and supreme presence on this land,

Naturally, they are not among those Five Great Families.

And these Five Great Families are merely a ranking made up by people in the Inner City and Outer City of Qingshi City who have nothing better to do.

To the Luo Family, whether it’s a single family from those Five Great Families

Or the combined forces of those Five Great Families,

They were all just insignificant ants.

“The Lin Family of Qingshi City’s Inner City?”

Seated at the head of the table, Luo Ping thought for a moment, then he turned his head, looking over at Luo Yao, who was sitting not far beside him, and asked in a low voice, “What do you think should be the punishment for what this person has done?”

Luo Yao lifted his head and glanced at Family Head Luo Ping beside him.

Apparently, he was somewhat surprised that Luo Ping would actually ask for his opinion.

Under normal circumstances, for matters like this,

it would be Luo Ping himself who made the decisions.

Yet now, he was asking for his opinion…

Something seemed a bit off.

However, off or not,

a response was still needed.

“I think, just drag him out and behead him, since our Luo Family in Qingshi City rose to power, we have never flaunted our strength in front of the people, nor have we ever abused the populace, treating their lives as worthless.”

“But this Lin Dao has enthroned himself as a local despot on our Luo Family’s territory.”

“Does he really think that because it’s a remote place, the Luo Family would not know of it?”

“Of course, apart from Lin Dao.”

“That Lin Family, one of the five great families of Qingshi City’s Inner City, is naturally inseparable from the case.”

“That this matter was able to drag on until now and finally erupt.”

“The Lin Family is also behind much of the manipulation.”

“So…”

“just cut them all down.”

Luo Ping said these words in a low voice.

He did not engage in tricks like sparing the men and demoting the women to serfdom.

Such people, such families, are not worth mourning when they die.

Damn it, the Luo Family has never enjoyed such privileges.

Yet the Lin Family dared to be so arrogant, so presumptuous.

Truly like lighting a lantern in an outhouse – courting death.

…

After the decision was made,

the person from the Lin Family in the room was forcibly dragged out.

And as the pleas for mercy from the person from the Lin Family resounded,

the atmosphere in the room where the Luo Family Patriarch was became increasingly oppressive.

In the room, everyone kept their heads down.

On their faces, there seemed to be traces of panic.

The Lin Family, what kind of existence were they?

They were one of the five strongest families in Qingshi City.

Their influence and the power they controlled were both extremely vast and terrifying.

And now, the Luo Family said the Lin Family would be wiped out, and so they were wiped out.

This was somewhat lamentable to the people in the room.

At the same time, it also made the people in the room gradually realize a lesson.

That is, under the Luo Family’s hands,

one must never act too boldly, never mess around.

Otherwise, the Lin Family would serve as a lesson.

As for whether wiping out the Lin Family would cause unrest under the Luo Family’s rule?

This was naturally not a concern.

Status, power, these are things everyone desires.

If the Lin Family falls, naturally the Li Family, Wang Family would rise to take their place.

There are only so many high positions controlling power,

but the numbers under the Luo Family are countless.

Therefore, chaos is naturally out of the question.

…

“Luo Yao.”

In the room.

At the head seat.

After a moment of silence, Luo Ping, the current Patriarch of the Luo Family, once again turned his head to look at Luo Yao beside him.

“Ah?”

Luo Yao, somewhat startled, turned his head.

He was still a bit caught up in the matter of the Lin Family and had not responded yet.

What now?

Could it be there’s another issue?

Luo Yao looked over at Family Head Luo Ping with a puzzled expression, who was expressionless beside him.

“What do you think, if the Royal Yan Family of the Great Flame Dynasty and the Imperial Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty were to attack our Luo Family in Qingshi City, disregarding the White Brahma Temple…”

“Could we withstand them?”

Luo Yao thought for a while, then quickly responded, “Shouldn’t we look to Elder Changfeng for this…”

Luo Ping understood the meaning of Luo Yao’s words.

However, he still continued to ask, “I’m talking about a collision between armies.”
