In the blink of an eye,
another month had passed.
Within this month, the situation within the Da Feng Dynasty remained unchanged.
The Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family, for the sake of their own livelihood,
continued to launch relentless attacks on the lands of Wan Shan Prefecture.
Feng Wumian, acting as the New Emperor, kept deploying more troops, amassing them on the border.
However, Feng Wumian had not made an easy choice to officially wage war against the Luo Family.
Most of the time, there were mere minor skirmishes, occasional small-scale conflicts.
It seemed, apparently,
that the New Emperor Feng Wumian had made up his mind to watch the Luo Family and the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family fight to the end.
After all, the Ke Family now had the support of the Great Flame Dynasty.
If Feng Wumian, as the rightful ruler of the Da Feng Dynasty, chose to continue aiding the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family,
wouldn’t the Ke Family indeed soar high?
Such a scenario was clearly not what Feng Wumian wished to see.
That guy continued as usual,
apart from continually developing and expanding his own power,
he quietly observed the conflict between the Luo Family and the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture.
Beyond these matters,
it seemed that something relatively special and somewhat unexpected had taken place over this month.
That was the Great Flame Dynasty’s repeated offers of military assistance,
which were consistently rejected by the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family.
Eventually, Yan Buming, the current emperor of the Great Flame Dynasty, could no longer hold back.
And so, the Great Flame Dynasty directly cut off aid to the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family.
It seemed they wanted to use this as pressure, forcing the Ke Family to recognize their situation.
The current state of affairs was that the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture required the help and strength of the Great Flame Dynasty,
not the other way around.
Luo Mountain Prefecture, Qingshi City, Luo Family Ancestral Land.
Inside the room of the Luo Family Patriarch,
Luo Ping, the current Luo Family Patriarch, was sitting leisurely in the primary seat.
He quietly sipped the tea in his hand while silently reviewing the completed state affairs and intelligence about the major families within the Da Feng Dynasty.
The more he read, the more smiles appeared on his face.
The better his mood became.
As the archenemy of the Luo Family, who had always wanted to seize the lands of Wan Shan Prefecture, the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family had suffered setbacks,
how could he not be pleased?
"Although the Ke Family’s strength isn’t considered strong, it seems they do have some backbone,"
"I just wonder how long this backbone can last..."
Luo Ping couldn’t help but chuckle and shake his head.
Afterwards, he silently picked up the cup of hot tea in his hand,
placed it to his lips, and took a small sip.
In the quiet room, followed by a gulp,
the tea Luo Ping held made its way down his throat.
after a moment of silence, Luo Ping seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned to his side, quietly asking Lu Jun: "Thinking about it now, it seems to have been some time since that youngster Luo Chuan left. Previously, my boy mentioned he wanted to join a sect known as the Fire Sword Immortal Sect, saying he wanted to learn some rare and incredibly powerful formation there.
I wonder how he’s getting on now..."
Lu Jun, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but fall silent for a moment as well.
It was known that not only Luo Chuan, the current son of the Luo Family Patriarch,
but also his own son, Lu Youdao, had left the Da Feng Dynasty to practice at the Fire Sword Immortal Sect.
Now, in the blink of an eye,
quite a length of time had passed.
Yet, there was no news from the two youngsters.
This indeed made both Luo Ping and Lu Jun miss them, as well as worry.
They feared what dangers the two youngsters might encounter outside the protection of their elders.
"Children need to go out and experience the world once they’ve grown up,"
"Although I don’t have a deep understanding of the Fire Sword Immortal Sect,"
"at least, its strength should be no less than the Five Elements Immortal Sect behind the Great Flame Dynasty."
"So, as long as those two lads can behave themselves a bit..."
"there shouldn’t be any major problems."
Lu Jun said with a slight smile, speaking softly.
Luo Ping, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but nod silently in agreement.
It seemed he more or less approved of Lu Jun’s words.
Fire Sword Immortal Sect, although Luo Ping did not understand it well,
after all, it was a notable Immortal Sect.
A sect that could bear the title of Immortal and hold the word "Immortal" within its name surely had some capabilities, right?
Otherwise, the Fire Sword Immortal Sect would have probably been wiped out long ago by those sects seeking fame.
"In that case, we can only hope the youngsters will be safe and sound,"
Luo Ping no longer pondered about Luo Chuan’s whereabouts.
Instead, he simply lowered his head,
and continued dealing with affairs concerning the Luo Family and those territories under their control.
and more than half a month had gone by.
During this half month,
the offensive from the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family did not weaken in the slightest.
On the contrary, it faintly seemed to have intensified.
However, now that the aid from the Great Flame Dynasty had been forcibly severed,
the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family had once again returned to a state of being isolated and without support.
This caused Ke Xiaowen, the current head of the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family,
