Chapter 388 - 182: Alchemy Going to Make Talismans Now?_1
Not long after,
the Xu Family of Wan Shan Prefecture finally agreed to the conditions proposed by the Luo Family.
And thus, they became a part of the Luo Family’s faction.
Although in Wan Shan Prefecture, the majority of sovereignty was still controlled by the Xu Family,
as time trickled by,
and as the Luo Family’s strength grew, even becoming the most powerful force within the Da Feng Dynasty,
the control over the territory of Wan Shan Prefecture
eventually would gradually fall into the hands of the Luo Family.
...
The actions of the Xu Family of Wan Shan Prefecture
did not come as a surprise to anyone.
After all, having offended the Ke Family, if the Xu Family wished to continue their existence in this land,
it seemed that aligning with the Luo Family was their only option.
...
In the Da Feng Dynasty, within Xunyang Prefecture, Ke Family Ancestral Land,
inside the room where the Family Head resided, Enjoy exclusive chapters from empire
now, Ke Xiaowen, who was the current Family Head of the Ke Family,
sat quietly at the main seat.
His head tilted slightly down,
his gaze silently resting on a piece of intel that had been delivered today.
[The Xu Family of Wan Shan Prefecture has announced their allegiance under the Luo Family…]
[Henceforth, the Luo Family now has control over territories in four prefectures within the Da Feng Dynasty…]
Reading the information before him,
his eyes involuntarily narrowed.
His brows also furrowed slightly.
So, the Xu Family of Wan Shan Prefecture ultimately chose the Luo Family of Luo Mountain Prefecture?
If one thought carefully, it seemed that besides the Luo Family, the Xu Family of Wan Shan Prefecture had no other choices.
When the Xu Family from Wan Shan Prefecture sent troops to obstruct the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture,
the animosity was firmly established between these two major family forces.
However, such animosity alone was not enough to cause the two families to declare outright war upon each other.
But if we add that Wan Shan Prefecture was the only territory where the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture could expand,
then a war between the two sides was unavoidable.
On one hand, there was the Xu Family, possessing the land of Wan Shan Prefecture.
On the other hand, there was the Ke Family, with territories in three prefectures.
It was clearly evident who was stronger and who was weaker.
"The Luo Family..."
"The New Emperor, Feng Wumian..."
"And that Feng Wuhen, who recently took control of Qingcheng Prefecture..."
"Looking at it this way, if my Ke Family wants to have the last laugh, it really seems somewhat difficult..."
Of course, besides that,
there was a White Lotus Prefecture near the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture.
Just like a venomous snake hidden in the shadows, it constantly threatened the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture.
If there was peace, it would have been fine.
But if that White Brahma Temple hidden in the shadows were to make a move against other forces in the Da Feng Dynasty,
then, the very first target
could only be the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture.
"So, what should be done next?"
Within the room, Ke Xiaowen slightly lowered his head, contemplating the possible outcomes that could follow for the Ke Family.
However, after much thought,
he seemed unable to envision the scenes that could unfold in the future.
"Be it as it may."
"Since the situation in the Da Feng Dynasty has already reached this state,"
"the only thing we can do is to quietly develop for a while."
"Take one step at a time, and see how things go."
"The other forces are manageable, but that White Lotus Prefecture’s White Brahma Temple..."
For some unknown reason,
Ke Xiaowen always felt
that the White Brahma Temple within White Lotus Prefecture could potentially be a great calamity.
Yet, in the current situation,
he had no way of dealing with the White Brahma Temple in White Lotus Prefecture.
...
In the blink of an eye,
a month had passed.
During this month, the situation within the Da Feng Dynasty had gradually stabilized.
All forces were preoccupied with developing their own strength.
Whether it was the New Emperor Feng Wumian, Feng Wuhen who had taken Qingcheng Prefecture, the Luo Family of Luo Mountain Prefecture, or the Ke Family with territories in three prefectures,
all four powers,
actively worked on strengthening their comprehensive capabilities within that month.
Those who trained soldiers, trained soldiers;
those who were to improve the economy, worked on the economy;
and those who wanted to increase their martial cultivation spent the month in arduous and secluded cultivation.
Clearly, however,
for a cultivator to improve their cultivation in a short period of time was naturally impossible.
...
Early in the morning, when the sky was not yet fully bright,
and the surroundings were still enveloped in a thick mist,
in Luo Mountain Prefecture, Qingshi City, at the Luo Family Ancestral Land,
within a small courtyard emanating a mysterious and ancient aura,
Luo Changfeng was sitting quietly under a Stone Pavilion.
He was leisurely sipping his tea while watching the distance.
And the person sitting before him, with a Spiritual Artifact cane placed beside him,
as the Deputy Sect Master of the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect of Wan Dan Sect, Fu Qiu,
was also calmly enjoying his tea.
"Hey, what kind of tea is this?"
"This tea is really good..."
Sipping his tea, Fu Qiu couldn’t help but squint his eyes in enjoyment,
mumbling some words to himself.
Luo Changfeng, sitting under the Stone Pavilion, did not pay attention to Fu Qiu’s words.
He simply set down his tea cup quietly,
and while looking at the old fellow in front of him, he couldn’t help but say in a low voice,
"So, what brings you to visit me this time?"
After finishing his tea, Fu Qiu smacked his lips and said with a somewhat helpless expression, "Brother Luo, can’t I come to chat with you when I have nothing else to do?"
Luo Changfeng, not quite believing him, fixed his gaze upon Fu Qiu and asked softly, "Are you sure?"
