Chapter 218: Something's Not Right with the Ke Family_1
Xunyang Prefecture, Ke Family Ancestral Land.
Inside the room where the Ke Family Head was located.
After Ke Xiaowen stopped pondering those complex matters, he slightly lowered his head, attending to the yet-to-be-dealt-with and piled-up documents on his desk.
In the vast expanse of the Ke Family land, apart from Ke Xiaowen, who was the current Family Head paying attention to the current trends.
Within a mysterious, overgrown courtyard where it seemed that no one had lived for a long time.
At this moment, there was an elder draped in a blood-red cloak, his face hidden in the shadows.
He was silently standing on a plot of open ground.
His eyes slightly narrowed.
Quietly, gazing into the distance.
At the White Lotus Prefecture with its countless white roots, which were also slowly moving.
Indeed, the mysterious elder was none other than the old ancestor of the Ke Family, Ke Chengsong.
His cultivation had now reached the fourth level within the Five Realms of Mortality, the Perfection of Blood Cultivation.
And he was only a step away from transcending Blood Cultivation and achieving Mortal Transcendence.
However, this final step had thwarted him for over fifty years.
But none of that mattered anymore.
Now, under his secret protection, the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family had gradually grown stronger.
The number of people within the clan had almost reached the standard he required.

Although some accidents had occurred within the Ke Family during this period.
They inadvertently gained control over three prefectures within the Da Feng Dynasty, and even seemed poised to contend with the other forces of the Da Feng Dynasty.
Fortunately, though.
The Great Flame Dynasty had entered the fray.
And they, the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family, had submitted all their territories to the Great Flame Dynasty.
Otherwise, how could the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family, relying solely on their own strength,
Contend with the White Brahma Temple, one of the Three Great Demonic Forces of Buddhism?
Or contend with the royal Feng Family, which had an unfathomable foundation lasting thousands of years?
Even the Qingshi City Luo Family, which appeared to be the weakest on the surface.
The Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family was still somewhat outmatched.
Thus, let alone the circumstances of being attacked from both front and rear.
"Should I start the plan now?"
"The current situation seems increasingly unstable."
"The White Brahma Temple's reach has already extended beyond the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family, and at this rate, perhaps within a year's time, the roots of the White Brahma Lotus, known as one of the most evil entities between heaven and earth within the White Brahma Temple, could extend beyond Xunyang Prefecture.
Although the location where I established the Ke Family is in the central area of Xunyang Prefecture, if we let the roots of the White Brahma Lotus spread outside of Xunyang Prefecture..."
"Then everything will seem a bit too late."
With these thoughts.
The elder in the blood-red cloak.
Extended his right hand.
And took off the hat that was on top of his head.
Afterward, a face emerged, appearing immensely weathered, as if it had gone through countless ages of the world.
"Indeed, it's time to begin."
"While the Ke Family's numbers are still a bit low, if it's just for breaking through to the Mortal Transcendence Realm..."
"There shouldn't be any problems."
He nodded silently.
Afterward, Ke Chengsong, the elder in the blood-red cloak from the Ke Family, suddenly disappeared from the mysterious and overgrown courtyard.
And as Ke Chengsong, the old ancestor of the Ke Family, vanished,
Bursts of blood-red light flickered throughout the sprawling Ke Family Ancestral Land.
Mysterious formations appeared one after another within the vast Ke Family Ancestral Land.
The alterations in the Ke Family,
Even aroused the curiosity of the people walking on the streets outside the Ke Family land.
"Look, what's that?"
On a rather bustling street outside the Ke Family land,
Someone pointed at the flickering, eerie red light from the Ke Family and couldn't help but ask aloud.
"Who knows..."
"Maybe it's the master of the Ke Family experimenting with something?"
"I've heard there's something called a formation."
"Formations possess many mysterious functions and powerful energy."
"Perhaps, those masters inside the Ke Family are setting up some mysterious and powerful formations, resulting in the bursts of red light inside the family land."
"Anyway, no matter what,"
"This is after all the Ke Family's own business."
"We, as common folks, had better not pay too much attention to the changes within the Ke Family land, or if those masters inside the Ke Family find out, even if we don't end up dead, we're bound to suffer greatly..."
People on the street,
Chattered and then gradually dispersed.
As harsh as it might be,
That was reality.
The affairs within the Ke Family were ultimately the Ke Family's own business.
If outsiders paid too much attention,
It could even bring about fatal trouble.
...
The next day.
Early in the morning.
Qingshi City, Luo Family Ancestral Land, inside the room of the Luo Family Patriarch.
Luo Ping, the current Patriarch of the Luo Family,
Was sitting serenely in the principal seat.
In his hand, he held a teacup.
Inside the cup, there was tea still emitting wisps of steam.
Only when Luo Ping slowly brought the cup to his lips,
Blew a few breaths on it, and took a small sip,
Did he then pick up the document on his desk, recording various events that had recently occurred within the Da Feng Dynasty.
