Chapter 149: Chapter 101: The Fall of the Yellow-Robed Monk, The Sentient Black Crow Flame_3
“Qingshi Town’s Luo Family?”
“What’s that?”
“Some questionable families are now trying to get involved with our Jiang Family?”
“How could those messy outsiders be a match for our family’s Xiaoyue?”
Jiang Taiqian became more and more agitated as he spoke; if possible, he even wanted to chop that dog of a thing that seduced his daughter into pieces and feed it to the dogs.
“Family Head, the Luo Family is not as simple as you think…”
Jiang Taiqian said, “They’re just a family from a small town within Huai Shui County. Even if they are strong, how strong can they really be?”
After pondering for a moment and organizing his thoughts,
Jiang Yan then seriously and sternly said to Jiang Taiqian in front of him, “Nowadays, the Luo Family already commands the land of seven towns, and they have at the very least over four million subjects. If they were to gather their military forces, two to three hundred thousand would not be a problem.”
Jiang Taiqian spoke dismissively, “Just the land of seven towns, just over four million subjects, just an army of two to three hundred thousand—such an existence is like chickens and dogs in front of our Jiang Family, we can eradicate them with a wave of a hand!”
Upon hearing what the Family Head said, Jiang Yan couldn’t help but interject again, “Aside from what I’ve mentioned before, there is another very important point that I haven’t spoken of.”
Jiang Taiqian urged, “Speak, I’m listening…”
Jiang Yan spoke in a low voice, “The Luo Family has Viscera Refinement…”
With these words from Jiang Yan, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became somewhat strange.
“You’re saying the Luo Family has practitioners of Viscera Refinement?”
After a long silence, Jiang Taiqian asked Jiang Yan in front of him.
Jiang Yan did not answer verbally but quietly nodded.
“If inside the Luo Family Ancestral Land there are practitioners of Viscera Refinement, indeed, they can be considered a formidable clan.”
“However, merely having a family member who is a cultivator at the Initial Stage of Organ Refinement Realm, they still remain weak and vulnerable before our Jiang Family.”
Seeing that the Family Head had spoken these words, Jiang Yan abruptly added another sentence, “The Luo Family’s Viscera Refinement practitioner is not at the Initial Stage, but at the Intermediate Stage, and they are not just any ordinary Intermediate Stage cultivator. In front of that practitioner from the Luo Family, I felt like I was being strangled, even breathing became difficult…”
“Moreover, the Viscera Refinement practitioner I encountered within the Luo Family Ancestral Land did not seem to be the Ancestor of the Luo Family, as the rumors said.”
“It was more like he was an old houseman…”
“If the housekeeper of the Luo Family has such a cultivation level, who knows to what extent the cultivation of the Ancestor of the Luo Family has reached?”
…
As Jiang Yan spilled out all these statements,
the atmosphere in the room grew even more eerie.
Jiang Taiqian, Jiang Yan.
The two of them stared at each other, wide-eyed.
Neither spoke.
Making the room fall into what seemed like utter silence.
“Could it be that merely an old housekeeper of the Luo Family possesses such terrifying power?”
Jiang Taiqian looked at Jiang Yan in front of him, murmuring to himself.
However, just a moment later,
he spoke to Jiang Yan in front of him, “For some reason, I suddenly feel that the Luo Family doesn’t seem too bad.”
“What do you think, Jiang Yan?”
Jiang Yan, looking at Jiang Taiqian’s serious facade, couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly, then softly said, “Didn’t the Family Head just say that the Luo Family was one of those questionable families?”
Jiang Taiqian seriously retorted, “No, I didn’t say that.”
Jiang Yan replied, “Yes, you did.”
Jiang Taiqian still looked very serious as he retorted, “No, I really didn’t say that, you must have heard wrong…”
Left with no choice, Jiang Yan could only silently sigh.
Then, he turned and walked away.
Although he had become aware of the terror of the Luo Family,
The face of their Family Head changed quite swiftly.
But he still didn’t think Luo Yao was any good.
Not considering the family, but the individual,
He always felt that Luo Yao was not as perfect as the young mistress made him out to be.
However, he felt somewhat helpless about this matter.
Jiang Yan was well aware of the current state of the Jiang Family.
In Shang Heng District, of the Five Great Families, the Jiang Family was the weakest.
The other four families had been eyeing the Jiang Family for quite some time; the only reason they had not made a move was their hesitation.
After all, a camel, even when starving, is still larger than a horse.
Even in decline, the Jiang Family was still one of the Five Great Families in Shang Heng District.
If they were to fight back desperately, the power they could unleash was still not to be underestimated.
Therefore, with this consideration,
The four families had not yet moved against the Jiang Family.
But now, the situation was somewhat different.
Recently, within the Four Great Families, two pairs of families started to make frequent contact.
While Jiang Yan didn’t know exactly what those pairs were discussing,
It was always wise to be a bit more cautious.
…
Before long, another day had passed.
In the early morning, as dawn broke,
At the Luo Family Ancestral Land in Qingshi Town, within the courtyard where Luo Changfeng resided,
Fu Qiu, the current Sect Master of the Wan Dan Sect’s Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect, had already arrived early at the location.
“Luo brother, I have accomplished the task without dishonor.”
“Here is the Yellow Grade low-grade Beast Fire, Black Crow Flame, that cost ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stones…”
In the center of the courtyard, beneath the Stone Pavilion,
As Fu Qiu spoke, he waved his hand and produced a clump of fire that seemed to possess a will of its own.
However, since this clump of fire had not yet been claimed,
The moment it was brought out, it tried to madly flee to other places.
But Luo Changfeng, who had been waiting a long time, how could he allow this Yellow Grade low-grade Beast Fire, Black Crow Flame, to run away before his eyes?
Therefore, after waving his hand,
Luo Changfeng built a cage made of his vital energy around the Black Crow Flame.
It seemed that because the state of the Black Crow Flame was weakened to the extreme,
The flame was unable to break through the prison forged from vital energy.
