Chapter 684: Chapter 330: One of the Shadow Guard Three Great Commanders, Zhen_1
Qiuyue City.
On a bustling street,
Luo Yao strolled forward, holding a snack he had bought from a street vendor.
Behind him, Luo Ze held a Spiritual Sword,
his expressionless face following Luo Yao closely.
Indeed, the incident in Dai Mountain City had left Luo Ze feeling irritable.
A tumultuous emotion lingered in his heart, seemingly impossible to dispel.
But as time passed, his mood eventually became much steadier.
From time to time,
he would still recall the events that had taken place in Dai Mountain City.
Yet overall, he felt much better than in the beginning.
Martial prowess relied not only on one’s own realm but also on the state of the Heart Realm.

Initially, before leaving his family,
Luo Ze hadn’t fully appreciated this concept.
He believed that a person’s strength depended on their cultivation level and realm.
Strong cultivation, profound realm—
that meant a person was powerful.
The cultivation of the Heart Realm should come after one’s own realm.
However, after experiencing those events, Luo Ze’s thoughts had gradually changed.
While he still believed that his realm and power were very important,
from then on, he no longer underestimated the cultivation of his Heart Realm.
In fact, for a physical cultivator,
until reaching the final stage of the Five Realms of Mortality, the Mortal Transcendence Realm,
the improvement of the Heart Realm had little impact on one’s own realm and strength.
At most, it would cause irritability and a restless heart.
But for a Sword Cultivator…
The situation was entirely different.
With a troubled Heart Realm and unsettled emotions, how could a Sword Cultivator even focus on practicing their swordsmanship,
and thus, how could they further advance their understanding of the Sword Dao?
…
Within Qiuyue City,
after Luo Yao and Luo Ze had walked for some time,
the leading Luo Yao suddenly stopped his steps.
He stood silently beside a brothel,
squinting his eyes, calmly observing.
“Qingliu Fang…”
Luo Yao looked at the brothel in front of him and the few big characters engraved on its signboard.
A hint of surprise flashed through his squinted eyes.
If he wasn’t mistaken, some time ago in Qingshi City,
he also seemed to have seen a place of entertainment called Qingliu Fang.
Driven by curiosity, he had visited that Qingliu Fang, had some food, listened to some music,
and then left.
What he hadn’t expected was to come across Qingliu Fang, a brothel with the same name, in this Qiuyue City.
It was quite a surprising coincidence.
“Let’s go…”
After shaking his head,
Luo Yao turned around and quietly walked away.
After his last visit to Qingliu Fang, he felt weakened for several days.
Although he wasn’t sure whether his condition was related to Qingliu Fang,
being cautious was never wrong.
Moreover, his main purpose for coming to Qiuyue City
was not the brothel Qingliu Fang,
but… the Lu Family, the local tyrants of Qiuyue City.
Lu Family of Qiuyue City.
He was curious to see how the Lu Family truly was,
daring to brazenly meddle with the tax collection.
Even more so, to do so without any concealment of their actions.
Did the Lu Family in Qiuyue City truly think that the Luo Family of Qingshi City didn’t care at all about such matters?
Well…
In truth, once reaching the level of the Qingshi City Luo Family,
they weren’t particularly concerned about the money from taxes.
A small part of the tax revenue was used for the ordinary members of the Qingshi City Luo Family, and the majority was allocated to improve the city’s infrastructure and enhance the welfare of the city’s residents.
Money, to a cultivating family or power, just needed to be sufficient.
Even the Royal Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty
maintained such a view regarding mundane wealth.
For a cultivation family like the Qingshi City Luo Family, what truly mattered was the reserve of Spirit Stones
and the collection of various heavenly and earthly treasures.
So, while worldly riches didn’t matter much to the Luo Family,
it didn’t mean that
one could simply take these things from the Luo Family’s hands just because they weren’t particularly important.
…
Qiuyue City.
Outside the estate of the local tyrants, the Lu Family,
a luxurious inn stood five stories tall, and in a top-floor room,
Luo Yao, the successor of the Luo Family, stood silently by a window.
He slightly lifted his head, his expression calm as he looked at the palatial, glittering Lu Family estate as if it were an Imperial Palace.
An icy smirk appeared on his unchanging face.
The Lu Family of Qiuyue City was quite interesting.
Merely a family within a city,
yet their estate was built in such a grand fashion.
The radiance that shot up to the sky was almost piercing to Luo Yao’s eyes.
Ancients said that wealth should be kept out of sight.
Despite the Luo Family of Qingshi City having grown to such an extent,
