Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Prince? The Scholar Qu Yan?_1
The massacre lasted for a full half-hour.
By then, the Zhao Family ancestral land had turned into a river of blood, a mountain of corpses.
The stench of blood was so intense that it made one feel somewhat uncomfortable.
“Third Uncle, is the matter with the Zhao Family finished?”
Luo Chuan looked at Luo Yong, who was gradually approaching him, and asked aloud.
“It’s mostly dealt with…”
“Mostly???” Luo Chuan’s brows couldn’t help but furrow slightly.
He didn’t quite understand what his own family meant by “mostly.”
“Within the Zhao Family ancestral land, we’ve dealt with all the clanspeople over the age of six.”
“Those below six, I’ve had gathered together.”
“Next, I want to hear your opinion.”
“How do you think we should handle these people?”
As he spoke, Luo Yong silently observed every change in his nephew’s expression.
“You’re asking me?”
Luo Chuan turned his head to look at Luo Yong beside him.
At those who held steel blades, their bodies stained with blood.
At the Luo family house servants, brimming with murderous aura.
Luo Chuan couldn’t help but lower his head slightly, falling into deep thought.
After pondering for a moment.
He then looked back at his Third Uncle Luo Yong and said in a low voice, “Third Uncle, you know me, I am kind-hearted, I can’t bear to see such bloody scenes…”
“You mean to say, you wish to spare the lives of those from the Zhao Family?”
Luo Yong’s brows slightly furrowed, and a trace of disappointment appeared in his eyes.
“No, what I mean is…”
“Wait until I leave the Zhao Family ancestral land, then it won’t be too late for you to act, Third Uncle.”
Luo Yong:
About the time it takes to brew a pot of tea.
Luo Chuan had left the Zhao Family ancestral land.
This time, aside from Hu Da and Hu Min, there were no other guards to protect him.
In today’s Qingshi Town, with the fall of the Zhao Family, the emergence of the Luo Family as the new rulers was already a foregone conclusion.
Although Luo Chuan was only in the Initial Realm of Skin Refinement and not very strong,
Luo Yong believed that within Qingshi Town,
there should no longer be anyone daring to harbor ill intentions towards the Luo family.
Unless that person wished to take their own clan down with them.
“Hu Da… is that right?”
Outside the Zhao Family ancestral land, the silent Luo Chuan suddenly spoke softly to the respectfully attentive Hu Da behind him.
“Yes, yes…” Hu Da nodded repeatedly.
Luo Chuan: “What you just said, it all still counts, right?”
“It counts, definitely counts…” Hu Da responded a bit frantically.
Luo Chuan: “Then do you hold any resentment towards my Luo Family in your heart?”
“Dare not, how can my Hu Family dare to harbor even the slightest dissatisfaction? The Luo Family has spared the Hu Family’s lives, and that is already a grace…”
Luo Chuan: “Oh? Are these words of yours true?”
“Yes, of course they are true…”
As Luo Chuan and Hu Da chatted back and forth,
Luo Yong, who had already sorted out everything, finally approached Luo Chuan.
“The matter has been settled, next you should go back first!”
“I will handle that old man Yue Jun.”
With a slight repression of the killing intent on his body, Luo Yong calmly spoke to his nephew Luo Chuan in front of him.
“If that’s the case, then I’ll trouble you, Third Uncle…”
Luo Chuan lowered his head slightly, then silently headed in the direction of the Luo Family Clan land.
In the vastness of Qingshi Town, the greatest enemy of the Luo Family was the Zhao Family.
After the collapse of the Zhao Family, it was an easy affair for the Luo Family to resolve the remaining trifles left behind by the Zhao Family.
Like dealing with that old man Yue Jun, the current mayor of Qingshi Town.
To bring him under control, only a slight threat was necessary to achieve that goal.
For example, the Hu Family, one of the four major families of Qingshi Town.
They even handed over all the marketplaces they controlled, half of the family’s assets, and all the books in the family’s Library Pavilion to the Luo Family without waiting for them to make a move.
Of course, aside from the Hu Family.
There was another family that the Luo Family needed to deal with, which was the Jing Family.
The gambling houses were incredibly lucrative.
Even though the Luo Family wasn’t particularly fond of gambling, regardless, the gambling houses couldn’t remain under the control of the Jing Family.
In the blink of an eye, another day had passed.
Owing to Qingshi Town having fallen into the hands of the Luo Family.
The closed city gates of the town were finally opened.
The news of the fall of the Zhao Family was swiftly spread at this moment.
Outside of Qingshi Town, within a hidden and secluded mountain range known to few.
The base of Blackwind Stockade stood there.
When the chieftain of Blackwind Stockade, known as the Black Haired Tiger, heard this news.
His expression gradually turned somewhat odd.
The Black Haired Tiger Xiong Qi, though not particularly intelligent.
Had managed to establish such a stronghold and survive until now.
For some obvious matters, he could still see through them to an extent.
Just like how the force behind their rival, Black Tiger Fortress, was the Zhao Family.
Xiong Qi had already known this some time ago.
The Zhao Family, in order to take control of Qingshi Town, had abandoned their standoff with Blackwind Stockade.
They directly led almost all of their elite forces into Qingshi Town.
This matter, Xiong Qi was also very clear about.
However, what he did not expect was…
That the Zhao Family, with more than two thousand armored youths and even two cultivators at the Bone Refinement Perfection realm.
Were still eradicated by the Luo Family of Qingshi Town.
Even their family clan was uprooted.
What this indicated, one could imagine.
“Inside the Luo Family Ancestral Land, there very likely exists a terrifying presence at the Organ Refinement Realm…”
Within Blackwind Stockade, inside a great hall.
The Black Haired Tiger Xiong Qi sat in the main seat, thinking this to himself.
After all, aside from this explanation.
There seemed to be no other reason that could account for.
Why the Zhao Family, despite having such a huge advantage, was still annihilated by the Luo Family.
“Sir, within the Luo Family, there is someone of Viscera Refinement.”
“And our Blackwind Stockade is located not far from Qingshi Town.”
“If we are not careful, we might face a catastrophe.”
“What do you think we should do next?”
“Should we distance ourselves from Qingshi Town and find a new place to grow, or should we… coexist peacefully with the Luo Family of Qingshi Town?”
In the dimly lit great hall of Blackwind Stockade.
Xiong Qi, with his upper body bare and his chest covered in black hair, slightly furrowed his brows.
While looking at the handsome scholar named Qu Yan in front of him, he asked in a low voice.
“The presence of someone at the Organ Refinement Realm is indeed terrifying, however…”
The scholar Qu Yan spoke, then suddenly paused for a moment.
He wore a smile on his face.
Step by step, he walked toward where Xiong Qi was seated.
Leaning towards his ear, he whispered, “However, the Prince will not allow in the Huai Shui County, the rise of a family power as strong as the Luo Family.”
“So, you can neither distance yourself from Qingshi Town nor can you coexist peacefully with the Luo Family there.”
“What you can do is to continually strengthen yourself while incessantly hampering the development of the Luo Family.”
Xiong Qi looked slightly troubled, “But there is someone of Viscera Refinement in the Luo Family…”
To this, Qu Yan smiled slightly and shook his head, whispering, “So what if there is Viscera Refinement? The Prince’s intention is not for you to attack the Luo Family of Qingshi Town. The Prince only wants you to limit the development of the Luo Family of Qingshi Town.”
“Although the Da Feng Dynasty has not completely collapsed, its downfall is accelerating.”
“Under such circumstances, choosing the right force to follow is very important.”
“Xiong Qi, you wouldn’t want to disappoint the Prince, would you…”
