Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen’s Qi-Blood
Chapter 73 - Chapter 73: Chapter 73: The Difficult Luo Family_1Chapter 73: Chapter 73: The Difficult Luo Family_1
Regarding the arrival of people from the Luo Family,
Huang Baidao was not surprised in the least.
Whether it was due to rumors of an Immortal or because the Huang Family was the last major clan remaining in Huangqu Town,
“Family Head of the Huang Family…”
“I’ve heard that an Immortal once emerged from your Huang Family ancestors. Is this true?”
Luo Yong, accompanied by Huang Baidao,
wandered around the vast expanse of the Huang Family Ancestral Land at will.
Only after the group had walked for a while
did Luo Yong, the commander of the great army, choose to speak up and ask this question.
However, his query
elicited various looks from those around him.
The deputy generals beside Luo Yong and those personal soldiers each showed expressions of curiosity in their eyes.
Luo Qingshan, that guy, frowned slightly.
With a somewhat strange look, he silently observed his father beside him.
That gaze seemed to say,
Old man, are you always so direct when you ask questions?
Can’t you be a bit more roundabout?
…
“They’re just rumors, not to be taken as truth…”
Huang Baidao bent over slightly,
speaking with a grin on his face.
“Rumors?” Luo Yong said, his eyes narrowing slightly upon hearing this.
He glanced at Huang Baidao beside him,
then his gaze moved to Huang Zeng, the young man beside Huang Baidao.
Luo Yong was clearly not particularly satisfied with the answer to his question.
But if the people from the Huang Family all said so, what more could he do?
“Then let it be a rumor…”
As he said this, Luo Yong continued walking forward.
As he walked, he seemed to remember something,
and once again spoke in a low voice to Huang Baidao beside him, “Family Head of the Huang Family, what are your plans for the future?”
“To continue developing in Huangqu Town?”
“Oh, right, there’s something I feel I must discuss with the Family Head of the Huang Family.”
“I don’t care about the rules of other forces,”
“but on my Luo Family’s side, we do not allow other clan forces to control land and certain important resource industries.”
“So…”
Inside the Huang Family Ancestral Land, before Luo Yong finished speaking, Huang Baidao nodded and smiled, agreeing continually, “I’ve long been aware of this matter, my lord, do not worry.”
“Shortly, my Huang Family will turn over the land deeds and some industries that we’re not allowed to hold.”
…
After some casual conversation between Huang Baidao and Luo Yong,
it wasn’t long before Luo Yong left the Huang Family Ancestral Land with his entourage.
“Father, isn’t the Luo Family being a bit too overbearing?”
“Even the Da Feng Dynasty doesn’t have this many rules…”
After watching the people from the Luo Family gradually leave,
Huang Zeng, the young master of the Huang Family, had endured his anger for a long time.
He couldn’t hold back the fury in his heart any longer.
He spoke in a low voice to his father, Huang Baidao, in front of him, venting his frustration.
The land and those resource industries
were the fruits of the Huang Family’s efforts over several hundreds of years.
Now the Luo Family just had to say the word, and they wanted the Huang Family to hand over everything they owned.
Wasn’t that somewhat excessive?
“Whether the Luo Family is bullying us or not, would I not know?”
“But faced with such a Luo Family, what can you do?”
“Stand firm under pressure, refuse the Luo Family’s demands? Oppose the Luo Family at every turn?”
“In the end, to be forcibly subjected to these policies by the Luo Family?”
Looking in the direction where Luo Yong, Luo Qingshan, and the group of soldiers were disappearing, Huang Baidao let out a sigh and said softly, “When one is weak, a bit of forbearance is inevitable.”
“As long as one is alive, there is always hope.”
“If you die, then there truly will be nothing left.”
“Zeng’er, you should understand these principles by now.”
…
Huang Baidao’s voice slowly echoed in the courtyard.
Huang Zeng heard his father’s words.
He couldn’t help feeling a bit ashamed and bowed his head slightly.
What his father had said was indeed true.
As long as one is alive, there is always hope.
Once a person dies, there truly is nothing left.
Against the Luo Family of Qingshi Town, he ultimately realized he had been too emotional.
He should have been more rational, he should have thought more about the members of his clan.
…
As time passed by.
In the blink of an eye, another day had elapsed.
After spending some more time in Huangqu Town, Luo Yong.
He left behind three thousand soldiers and silently led the main force out of the town.
Expanding the army?
Luo Yong felt that thirty thousand regular troops and twenty thousand reservists were already sufficient.
There was no need to expand the military for the time being.
However, Luo Yong felt that the training of the troops was still not quite up to par.
Just to attack a town with a population of no more than a hundred thousand.
A garrison of fewer than five thousand soldiers.
Walls that could not be considered particularly high or thick.
The Luo Family side had suffered the direct loss of a full thousand soldiers.
The extent of the loss, although not great.
Was enough for Luo Yong to discern quite a few things.
…
Since Luo Yong withdrew from Huangqu Town.
And the town gates were opened again.
The news that the Luo Family of Qingshi Town had successfully taken control of Huangqu Town.
Quickly spread throughout Huai Shui County.
Although Huangqu Town was small in size and population.
Such a piece of news shocked the three forces in Huai Shui County, which were constantly waging war against each other.
In Huai Shui County, at the residence of the King of Huai Shui.
Inside a quaint little courtyard.
An old servant hurried towards the direction where Feng Wentai, the King of Huai Shui, was located.
“Prince, Huangqu Town has been taken by the Luo Family of Qingshi Town…”
The old servant swallowed his saliva and hesitated for a moment before.
He ultimately decided to convey such a message to Feng Wentai.
“Huangqu Town?”
“Is it the town where the Huang Family lives?”
“Is it the Huang Family that, according to rumors, had an Immortal among their ancestors?”
Upon hearing this, Feng Wentai suddenly pulled away the book covering his face.
As he suddenly sat up, his expression seemed somewhat astonished.
“Yes.”
The old servant silently nodded.
“What is the Luo Family of Qingshi Town trying to do?”
“Dare they touch such a hot potato?”
“Do they not consider why nobody has touched Huangqu Town until now?”
Feng Wentai slightly furrowed his brows, speaking somewhat helplessly.
However, the old servant beside him could not provide an answer to Feng Wentai’s question.
“Forget it, let’s not think about Huangqu Town or the Huang Family anymore.”
“What seems more important now is the Luo Family of Qingshi Town.”
“They can expand their troops, fortify Qingshi Town.”
“All this I can tolerate since it’s happening on the Luo Family’s own land.”
“But what does the Luo Family mean by deploying troops to take down Huangqu Town?”
“Are they flaunting their military might to me, or declaring to all the forces within Huai Shui County that they, too, wish to join in the struggle for supremacy in the world?”
As he thought about it, Feng Wentai couldn’t help feeling a headache coming on.
If the Luo Family of Qingshi Town was just an ordinary clan, that would be one thing.
As the King of Huai Shui, Feng Wentai had countless ways to squash the Luo Family.
But now, the biggest problem was.
Within the ancestral land of the Luo Family, there resided a genuine Organ Refinement Realm cultivator.
How exalted was the status of an Organ Refinement Realm cultivator in Huai Shui County?
If he carelessly angered the Organ Refinement Realm cultivator of the Luo Family.
Then even as the King of Huai Shui, he probably wouldn’t end up with anything good.
