Chapter 728: Chapter 352 Benefits and Sacrifice?_1
the setting sun descended in the west.
The lingering splendor of the falling sun spread out across the land.
Such a scene couldn’t help but add a different kind of beauty to this stretch of earth.
“What on earth is the Da Feng Dynasty’s Imperial Feng Family thinking?”
“They suddenly made their move against our Qingshi City Luo Family.”
“Logically, the best time for the Da Feng Dynasty’s Imperial Feng Family to have acted would have been during their collaboration with the Great Flame Dynasty’s Royal Yan Family.”
“The Da Feng Dynasty’s Imperial Feng Family just watched as the Great Flame Dynasty’s Royal Yan Family fell.”
“And after their territories and resources were nearly completely consumed by our Luo Family and the White Brahma Temple within the White Lotus Prefecture’s domain…”
“The Da Feng Dynasty’s Imperial Feng Family suddenly made a move against us.”
“One wonders what gave the Imperial Feng Family such confidence…”
In Qingshi City, on the Luo Family Ancestral Land.
On a vacant plot of land that no one frequented.
Next to a colossal tree that was hundreds of meters tall and had lived for at least several hundred years,
Luo Yao, the successor to the next head of the Qingshi City Luo Family,
sighed softly as he spoke.
On that same plot, a young man with his robust upper body exposed, wielding a longsword and continuously practicing his swings,
stopped his ceaseless sword practice upon hearing this uninterrupted grumbling.
He slid the spiritual sword back into its scabbard,
and casually picked up a special spiritual artifact gourd filled with water.
Tilting his head back, he began gulping down the liquid.
After the young man had drunk several mouthfuls of water and rested for a short while,
he slowly made his way toward Luo Yao.
Yet Luo Yao did not cease his monologue.
Instead, he spoke more and more.
“Several of the family powers under the Qingshi City Luo Family’s command actually chose to side with the Da Feng Dynasty’s Imperial Feng Family.”
“Even because of these families’ actions,
several cities fell into the hands of the Da Feng Dynasty’s Imperial Feng Family.”
“Although the loss of those cities doesn’t really affect the overall situation,”
“such developments are still somewhat disheartening and uncomfortable.”
“Azé, don’t you think so?”
Luo Yao silently lifted his head, his expression one of helplessness as he looked at the young man named Luo Ze, continually sighing softly.
“There are family powers siding with the Da Feng Dynasty in these circumstances?”
Luo Ze frowned slightly as he heard this.
After pondering for a moment, he quietly said, “Perhaps those families never truly entertained the idea of submitting to our Qingshi City Luo Family?”
“Previously, their submission might have been out of sheer necessity.”
“Now that the Da Feng Dynasty’s Imperial Feng Family has chosen to take action against our Qingshi City Luo Family,
the actions of those other powers can somehow be understood.”
“After all, no matter what,
the Imperial Feng Family still wields control over a powerful and rich family that has ruled the Da Feng Dynasty for over a thousand years, a depth of heritage that other family powers simply cannot compare with.”
“Their deterrence and influence
are also clearly beyond what our Qingshi City Luo Family can currently match.”
Luo Yao nodded silently in response.
It was as if he agreed with the young man’s words.
However, even if things were truly as such,
the development was still frustrating and discomforting.
“What if we call upon one of the Shadow Guards in Elder Changfeng’s hands,
to set an example by making a harsh lesson of one, how about that?”
Luo Ze did not answer right away.
He just narrowed his eyes slightly,
as if considering the feasibility of Luo Yao’s words.
Luo Ze could not help but sigh deeply.
Although the approach was somewhat cruel,
since matters had escalated to a confrontation between two family powers,
some things, it seemed, had become necessary.
“Setting an example could be viable,”
“It’s just uncertain what Patriarch Changfeng thinks…”
Hearing this reference, Luo Yao was momentarily stunned.
Indeed, if he truly wanted to engage the force of Shadow Guards under Patriarch Changfeng,
it seemed necessary to seek Patriarch Changfeng’s opinion first.
he would need to make a trip to Patriarch Changfeng’s courtyard.
However, if it was any other place that would be one thing,
but Patriarch Changfeng’s courtyard was quite another matter altogether.
After all, the thought of Ancestor Luo Changfeng left a rather exaggerated shadow in Luo Yao’s heart.
Therefore, under normal circumstances,
unless absolutely necessary, Luo Yao would never take the initiative to approach Patriarch Changfeng.
Seeking out Patriarch Changfeng voluntarily?
Wasn’t that just asking for trouble?
Forget it, forget it,
Just forbear it for now, and peace will follow; retreat one step,
and the vast sea and sky lay open.
