LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 220: Setting Their Sights on the Luo Family_1
"What do you think is really going on with the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family?"
"The entire clan was slaughtered, not a single survivor."
"Isn't that a bit too tragic?"
Inside the room.
At the head of the room.
Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family, was quietly asking Lu Jun beside him.
Lu Jun shook his head, his expression calm, and replied softly, "Not very clear, but... maybe it's related to that incident before."
Luo Ping narrowed his eyes slightly, "That incident before?"
Lu Jun glanced at the Family Head Luo Ping beside him and said quietly, "Wasn't there a strange red glow discovered outside the Ke Family grounds in Xunyang Prefecture before? I think it might have something to do with that strange red light..."
Luo Ping nodded slightly, his face showing a contemplative expression.
"Who do you think did it?"
"Was it the Great Flame Dynasty?"
"The Royal Feng Family?"
"Or... was it the White Brahma Temple from White Lotus Prefecture?"
Regarding this question,
Lu Jun did not choose to answer immediately.
He pondered for a while, and after a period of silence, he finally said softly, "As for who did it, probably no one knows except for the person who acted..."
To this, Luo Ping also silently nodded his head.
It seemed that he very much agreed with what Lu Jun had said.
After all, whether it was the Royal Feng Family, the Great Flame Dynasty, or the White Brahma Temple,
all three powers had the capability to annihilate the entire Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture.
Oh yes. Besides these three forces, it seemed that their Qingshi City Luo Family also had the power to annihilate the entire Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture.
But then, Luo Ping thought it over carefully.
He dismissed such a notion.
After all, this matter did not benefit their Luo Family at all.
And such matters of no benefit,
were always disdained by their Elder Changfeng.
"Sigh..."
After a while,
Luo Ping, who was sitting at the head of the room, couldn't help but sigh softly again.
In his eyes, a trace of relief flickered.
This world, after all, was still one of survival of the fittest, the strong prey on the weak.
The strong could control everything,
while the weak could not even control their own lives, being controlled by others.
How sad was that?
Luo Ping also felt somewhat relieved.
Thankfully, they had an Elder Changfeng at home.
Without him, the Luo Family could not even think about rising rapidly and seizing resources from others.
If it weren't for the presence of Elder Changfeng,
the very survival of their Luo Family in this world
would already be considered a stroke of luck.
"No matter what, we should still strengthen the family's defenses a bit in the coming days,"
"Although it's unlikely that something similar to what happened to the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture will happen to my Luo Family,"
"in these chaotic times, it's always right to enhance the level of defense."
Thinking of this,
Luo Ping casually summoned a servant,
and after instructing the servant to strengthen the family's defenses,
he then quietly leaned back on the chair, holding a ceramic teacup in his hand.
As he sipped his tea, he squinted his eyes slightly,
savoring the peace and tranquility of the moment.
The taste of it was simply indescribable.
...
In the blink of an eye,
several days had passed.
The matter of the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture, though it caused quite a stir,
gradually faded from people's view as time passed.
As White Brahma Temple relentlessly attacked the domains of the Great Flame Dynasty with its puppet army,
and as the White Brahma Lotus, an evil entity of heaven and earth, gradually spread its seemingly endless roots beyond the territory of the Great Flame Dynasty,
the incident with the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture was gradually forgotten.
"Mortal Transcendence Realm... achieved!!!"
Outside the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture.
In a shady mountain that was desolate and uninhabited all year round,
near a cliff where a breeze was always blowing,
an elder dressed in a blood-red robe, with an air of blood-red aura that seemed to have materialized, surrounding him,
had finally opened his eyes which had now turned blood-red,
and looked eerily strange.
"After planning for hundreds of years, not only have I replenished my talents and potential, but I have also broken through to the Mortal Transcendence Initial Realm in one fell swoop,"
"Although I have not fully entered the Immortal Realm,"
"at least I have successfully shed my mortal shell and have half-stepped into the Immortal Realm,"
"It's just a shame about my bloodline."
"If I could have waited a few more decades, even a hundred years, my current talent and potential, as well as my cultivation, could have gone even further, which wouldn't have been impossible,"
"However, it's because of that White Brahma Temple..."
"They almost destroyed my hundreds of years of planning."
"Hateful, truly hateful..."
The elder slowly stood up, then narrowed his blood-red eyes, looking coldly towards the White Brahma Temple and the White Brahma Lotus, which had reached the realm where illusion turns into reality.
If it weren't for the actions of the White Brahma Temple,
he wouldn't have picked this unripe fruit prematurely.
If he weren't worried that the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture might be annihilated by some accident,
he wouldn't have initiated the formation that could refine his clansmen's blood and qi ahead of time.
