Chapter 580: Chapter 278: The Luo Family Seeking Their Own Destruction?_1
Since threatening the Luo Family of Qingshi City was impossible,
and he had not been able to aid his own junior fellow disciple successfully,
he was unable to gain the goodwill that would have come from assisting his junior fellow disciple.
Uttering threats before leaving,
was nothing short of what only a fool would do.
Yes, the Luo Family of Qingshi City might be wary of the Five Elements Immortal Sect, and thus, restrain from laying hands on an Inner Sect Disciple of the Five Elements Immortal Sect.
However, this was not an absolute certainty.
In this world, everything has a threshold.
Within this threshold, the Luo Family of Qingshi City could remain clear-headed and make the right choices.
But if his mere words of threat,
should provoke the Luo Family of Qingshi City to harbor evil intentions,
even knowing it might anger the Five Elements Immortal Sect, they could still decide to slaughter him, an Inner Sect Disciple of the Five Elements Immortal Sect.
This would truly be a loss not worth the gain.
Jing Yao had risen from being a mere cultivator to his current stature in a step-by-step fashion.
Even becoming an Inner Sect Disciple of the Five Elements Immortal Sect.
Naturally, he knew how to avoid dangers.
Jing Yao, one of the Inner Sect Disciples of the Five Elements Immortal Sect, left that room,
disappearing from the sight of the current Luo Family Head Luo Ping and the many others within the room.
“Family Head, are we just letting that person go?”
Within the room, someone saw Jing Yao swagger out of the Luo Family Ancestral Land and couldn’t help but ask aloud.
“If we don’t let him leave, what else can we do?”
Luo Ping, seated in the seat of honor, glanced at the person beside him somewhat helplessly before saying, “Do you propose we assassinate him on the way out?”
“In any case, that Jing Yao is still one of the Inner Sect Disciples of the Five Elements Immortal Sect.”
“If that guy were to die here in Qingshi City, it would still be a problematic issue in the end.”
“You should know that the nature of this matter is not the same as that of the Great Flame Dynasty.”
“The Great Flame Dynasty is the Great Flame Dynasty; that power is not part of the Five Elements Immortal Sect.”
“But Jing Yao is different.”
“Jing Yao is one of the Inner Sect Disciples of the Five Elements Immortal Sect; that guy represents the face of the Five Elements Immortal Sect outside.”
“If we were also a cultivation power of the same standing, of course, there would be no need to fear the Five Elements Immortal Sect.”
“Even if we were to directly slaughter Jing Yao, it wouldn’t be a big issue.”
“But now, the biggest problem is,”
“Our Luo Family of Qingshi City is not on the same level, not on par with the Five Elements Immortal Sect.”
“So, rather than killing Jing Yao and bringing even bigger troubles upon our Luo Family of Qingshi City,”
“it’s better to let the matter end there.”
“Let him return to the Five Elements Immortal Sect.”
“As for the Great Flame Dynasty…”
As Luo Ping spoke, he involuntarily narrowed his eyes, a glint of light flashing through them, “From now on, we only need to play it by ear. I am actually quite curious to see what kind of actions the Great Flame Dynasty will take next.”
Having finished speaking,
Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family, picked up a teacup that was placed beside him.
He sipped from it leisurely,
and also casually picked up a document of state affairs that had been dealt with.
He began reading it with an exceedingly calm expression.
Because of Luo Ping’s demeanor, the atmosphere in the room gradually became more tranquil.
Of course, Luo Yao, who sat beside Luo Ping and was being groomed as the next Family Head by the Luo Family Clan,
was at that moment very active in thought.
“Five Elements Immortal Sect, Inner Sect, Jing Yao…”
“Great Flame Dynasty…”
“This is indeed quite interesting.”
“However, the Family Head’s decision and his way of thinking have caught me by some surprise.”
Luo Yao thought to himself.
Afterwards, he carefully turned his head,
glancing at Luo Ping who sat in the seat of honor, seemingly immersed in the state affairs.
He then withdrew his gaze,
and from the table, he picked up a document of state affairs that had yet to be dealt with.
Opening it, he began to scrutinize it carefully.
Having failed to intimidate the Luo Family of Qingshi City with the power of the Five Elements Immortal Sect,
shortly after, Jing Yao, one of the Inner Sect Disciples of the Five Elements Immortal Sect, left the Da Feng Dynasty directly.
He did not even visit the Great Flame Dynasty,
seemingly feeling uncertain about how to continue dealing with the people from the Great Flame Dynasty since he had not accomplished his mission.
The Great Flame Dynasty.
Within the deep palace bathed in imperial majesty,
a magnificent hall with an immensely imposing air, atop the throne,
sits an Emperor clad in the Emperor’s Robe,
his brows slightly furrowed, facing a black-clothed cultivator standing before him, Emperor Yan Buming.
He stood silently in the palace,
listening to the black-clothed cultivator report certain matters behind him.
“So, what you’re saying is…”
“The plan has failed?”
“And Jing Yao has already left?”
Yan Buming asked in a low voice, to which the black-clothed cultivator nodded silently without adding anything more.
“All right, I understand.”
“You may withdraw for now…”
Yan Buming, with his hands clasped behind his back and an expressionless face, told the black-clothed cultivator quietly.
The cultivator bowed slightly in a sign of respect,
and then his figure began to twist slightly.
In just a moment, the black-clothed cultivator vanished from the somewhat oppressive atmosphere of the palace.
