Chapter 602: Chapter 289 Greedy Royal Feng Family_1
“As for what will happen in the future…”
Atop the city walls of Maple Leaf City.
The current Family Head of the Gu Family, once one of the three great families of Maple Leaf City, thought for a moment before he gave a somewhat helpless smile and then softly said, “As for what will happen in the future, let’s talk about that when the time comes. For a family power like ours, if we want to have a future, we must first deal with the present. Otherwise, forget about the future; we won’t even be able to survive the current predicament.”
Gu Qi, the current Family Head of the Gu Family.
Slowly turned around and clasped his hands behind his back.
Step by step, he slowly walked down from the city walls of Maple Leaf City.
“The future… and the present?”
Atop the city walls of Maple Leaf City.
Lou Yiming, still standing silently with slightly squinting eyes, was one of the original three great families of Maple Leaf City.
He was quietly murmuring something to himself.
In his mind, he seemed to be pondering the words just spoken by Gu Qi, the current Family Head of the Gu Family.
Until, after a long time had passed.
Lou Yiming, the current Family Head of the Lou Family, finally snapped back to reality.
He laughed and shook his head.
A hint of self-mockery appeared on his face.
Then, he began to mutter to himself in a low voice.
“It seems the Family Head of the Gu Family has thought through this matter a bit more thoroughly than I have.”
“To the Luo Family of Qingshi City, we of the Maple Leaf City Lou Family are but mere ants.”
“With a mere wave of their hand, they could easily snuff us out.”
“Under such circumstances, rather than talking about the so-called future, it’s better to think about how to overcome the current difficulties, how to live well in the present they are facing.”
Lou Yiming also silently turned around.
He too began to slowly walk away from the city walls of this city.
Following this incident, Maple Leaf City returned to the hands of the Qingshi City Luo Family.
Firmly controlled by the Qingshi City Luo Family.
The Li Family, once the leading family among the three great families of Maple Leaf City.
But, the assets left behind by the Li Family did not vanish with the fall of the Li Family.
Though it’s true that the Qingshi City Luo Family would take the lion’s share of these assets.
Even so, what the Qingshi City Luo Family deemed unworthy was already enough for the various families and powers within Maple Leaf City to feast upon.
As the saying goes, “When the whale falls, myriad creatures thrive.”
Probably, that’s how it is.
To the Luo Family of Qingshi City, the Li Family of Maple Leaf City was no more than an existent as insignificant as ants, utterly frail and weak.
However, for the common people and the various family powers within Maple Leaf City.
The Li Family of Maple Leaf City was definitely a terrifyingly huge entity.
Now, such a colossal figure had suddenly fallen.
Countless family powers, and even the merchants and common folk of Maple Leaf City, would inevitably reap substantial benefits.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.
In this half a month.
The situation within the Da Feng Dynasty had changed dramatically once again.
Originally, the situation within the Da Feng Dynasty’s borders.
Was almost equivalent to the Royal Yan Family of the Great Flame Dynasty having total dominance.
After all, with the Royal Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty watching from the sidelines in the dark and in the light, it wasn’t impossible for the Great Flame Dynasty to dominate alone.
Even more so, with the Da Feng Dynasty’s inaction.
And with the participation of family powers from outside the Da Feng Dynasty’s borders.
The Luo Family of Qingshi City had become like a lone ship in a storm.
At any moment, they might completely capsize.
And then sink to the depths of the ocean, gradually fading from historical record.
Just, what everyone didn’t expect was…
When it seemed like the Luo Family of Qingshi City was about to fall, the White Brahma Temple within the White Lotus Prefecture.
Unexpectedly joined the conflict between the Luo Family of Qingshi City and the Royal Yan Family of the Great Flame Dynasty.
If it were just participation, that would be one thing.
But what was somewhat surprising was…
The White Brahma Temple actually began launching continual attacks against the faction of the Royal Yan Family of the Great Flame Dynasty.
However, towards the faction of the Luo Family of Qingshi City.
The White Brahma Temple acted as if it saw nothing.
This situation led people to silently speculate whether.
The White Brahma Temple, one of the three major Demonic Path forces of Buddhism on the Xuanyuan Continent.
Had reached a cooperation with the Luo Family of Qingshi City.
And then, stood on the same side?
In the depth of the Imperial Palace of the Great Flame Dynasty.
Within a slightly dimly-lit great hall.
At this moment, Yan Buming, the current emperor of the Great Flame Dynasty, was sitting quietly on the main seat.
His expression seemed somewhat unpleasant.
The atmosphere inside this slightly dimly-lit great hall also appeared a bit oppressive.
“My emperor, the Luo Family of Qingshi City has been quite active these days.”
“In just half a month, the Luo Family of Qingshi City has nearly reclaimed all its lost territories.”
“Moreover, the military forces of the Luo Family of Qingshi City have begun to gather.”
“There seems to be a trend of launching a counterattack against our Great Flame Dynasty…”
Beside Yan Buming, the current emperor of the Great Flame Dynasty.
A figure dressed in black, slightly bowing his head.
