Chapter 122: Chapter 92 The Opportunity Has Arrived, Sending Troops to East Earth Town_3
However, what set this elder apart from the typical cultivator at the Initial Realm of Viscera Refinement was…
His aura was evidently much stronger than that of an ordinary cultivator at the same level.
Even, the gap to the Intermediate Stage above the Initial Stage…
Seemed to be just a step away.
“Who is this senior…?”
As everyone in the hall looked at the elder before them and felt the terrifying aura that emanated from him, which was enough to make one feel despair,
All the people in this council hall couldn’t help but widen their eyes and swallow hard.
The atmosphere inside the hall also became increasingly tense for a moment.
“This is our Ding Family’s ancestor, Ding Qianqiu.”
“More than twenty years ago, he has already broken through to the Organ Refinement Realm.”
“However, due to our ancestor’s dedicated cultivation,”
“His existence has thus remained unknown to outsiders.”
“Nowadays, our ancestor is only a step away from the Intermediate Stage of Organ Refinement.”
“I wonder, in a match against the Luo Family’s old ancestor, who would be stronger or weaker?”
…
A moment later,
Ding Family’s ancestor Ding Qianqiu left the hall,
Returning to his own courtyard.
He continued in seclusion, striving to break through to the Intermediate Stage of Organ Refinement.
In the great hall filled with representatives from various major clan forces located in the Ding Family Manor,
Ding Fan, the current Family Head of the Ding Family,
was now sitting quietly in the chief seat.
Looking at the people before him, his face was full of smiles.
“If things are indeed so, in the future, my Wang Family will follow the Ding Family’s orders without question.”
“My Li Family will also regard the Ding Family’s commands as paramount in the future.”
“My Bai Family shall do the same.”
As everyone in the hall declared their stance one after another, Ding Fan gradually shifted his gaze towards the Feng Family.
Among the five towns, if his Ding Family was considered the best,
then the Feng Family would undoubtedly be the second.
And in their hands, they held even more substantial resources than the Ding Family.
The allegiance of other clans was not important.
But the Feng Family, they had to bow their heads.
Otherwise, he would be forced to take some unconventional measures.
…
“Sigh…”
Seeing the increasingly cold expression of Ding Fan, the current Family Head of the Ding Family,
Feng Xingwen, the current Family Head of the Feng Family, also couldn’t help but slightly lower his head,
and said in a somewhat helpless low voice, “From now on, my Feng Family will also heed all the commands of the Ding Family…”
“Good!”
Ding Fan nodded vigorously.
Then, this meeting that was related to the future fate of the five towns came to an end.
The representatives of the various clan forces went their separate ways toward their respective clan territories.
There was a very important message that the representatives had to relay to the higher-ups in their families.
The Luo Family of Qingshi Town was powerful,
That was true.
But now, considering what had been seen and heard today, it seemed that the Ding Family of East Earth Town,
in terms of comprehensive strength, was far above the Luo Family of Qingshi Town!!!
…
In the blink of an eye, another day passed.
Early in the morning, when the sky had not yet fully brightened,
Luo Yong led the thirty thousand armored elite troops under the command of the Luo Family.
At this time, they had already arrived at a nearby town named East Earth Town.
And as time passed,
Luo Yong gradually surrounded East Earth Town.
It seemed he intended to employ the same tactics he used against Huangqu Town to deal with East Earth Town.
…
Luo Family’s military camp.
Inside the tent of the commanding officer.
Luo Yong was casually sitting in an armchair.
His expression remained calm and unchanged.
On the wooden table was a map of Huai Shui County.
This map was not purchased.
Instead, it was drawn bit by bit by Luo Yong, who had sent people to explore the surrounding areas over time.
Purchased maps are good,
but they are never quite accurate.
Therefore, it’s better to create your own map.
“The area of this East Earth Town…”
“seems to be several times larger than that of Huangqu Town!”
“The population within the city walls must also be over four hundred thousand.”
“And there should be quite a number of soldiers inside as well.”
“What do you think should be our next move in order to take down East Earth Town???”
…
As the commanding officer threw out this question,
a group of officers immediately started clamoring to fight, faces flushed with eagerness.
As if they did not take East Earth Town seriously at all.
“Directly attack the city?”
Luo Yong silently stood up and walked out of the tent.
His eyes slightly narrowed as he gazed at the city that stood tall upon the land before him.
After contemplating for a moment, he nodded to himself.
Just when Luo Yong was about to order an initial attack,
beside him, dressed in a Taoist robe,
holding a White Feather Fan in his hand,
looking more like a big swindler, or perhaps those fortune-telling charlatans on the streets, was Tang Jian.
At that moment, Tang Jian casually waved his White Feather Fan,
a slight smile on his face as he spoke in a low voice, “Brother Luo, this East Earth Town is not simple…”
“Not simple?”
Hearing Tang Jian’s remark, Luo Yong’s brows slightly furrowed.
If someone else had said this,
Luo Yong would not have paid it much mind.
But coming from Tang Jian, this major swindler, this charlatan,
he had to take it into serious consideration.
After all, the main reason he was able to intercept one hundred Mo Jade Kirins meant for the Tang Family, as well as a Tang Family caravan loaded with ample foodstuffs,
was largely because this charlatan was with him.
“Where is it not simple?”
After a moment of thought, Luo Yong asked quietly, looking down.
“Brother Luo, look…”
As Tang Jian spoke, he pointed at East Earth Town with the White Feather Fan in his hand, “Do you notice anything unusual?”
“Unusual?”
Luo Yong lifted his head and examined East Earth Town more intently.
The more he looked, the more confused he became.
What unusual thing? Isn’t there nothing at all?
