Chapter 262: Chapter 139: Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect Gains Absolute Advantage, Turn Bai Family?_1
 

In the small courtyard, beneath the Stone Pavilion.

Following Fu Qiu’s question.

The man dressed in black robes and hat, his hands tucked into his sleeves, looking just like the most ordinary elder in the village, Zhong Mudao.

At this moment, also couldn’t help but silently nod his head.

“Logically speaking, whether it’s Changping Prefecture or Wan Shan Prefecture, they should have chosen to support the Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect,”

“Yet they suddenly openly chose to support our Luo Mountain Prefecture Sub-sect.”

“This matter is indeed somewhat unusual…”

When Luo Changfeng heard this, his expression remained unchanged.

He simply narrowed his eyes slightly.

Picking up the cup of tea on the stone table.

After taking a small sip, he muttered, “Is there a possibility that Wan Shan Prefecture Sub-sect and Changping Prefecture Sub-sect have not only received benefits from Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect but also chose to support our Luo Mountain Prefecture? They want the benefits, and they also want to support us in our moment of need!”

This confused Fu Qiu somewhat, “Brother Luo, why is that?”

“After receiving benefits, shouldn’t they choose to support the Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect?”

“Why would they choose to support our Luo Mountain Prefecture Sub-sect?”

“Could it be that Wen Zaichu of Wan Shan Prefecture Sub-sect and Feng Qi of Changping Prefecture Sub-sect are not afraid of the wrath from Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect?”

“After all, Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect is still the holy land of alchemy for the former Da Feng Dynasty.”

“It has its heritage.”

Hearing this, Luo Changfeng slightly shook his head, and whispered to the two people in front of him, “Perhaps, it is precisely because Wen Zaichu and Feng Qi fear Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect’s wrath that they have chosen to openly support our Luo Mountain Prefecture Sub-sect.”

“Currently, the system between sub-sects has gone through another reform.”

“The Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect ranked first in a certain region will be granted significant authority by the Main Sect of Wan Dan Sect.”

“If used well, a sub-sect could even use this authority to easily suppress the development of other sub-sects.”

“Even gradually erode the power of other Wan Dan Sect Sub-sects, and perhaps absorb the alchemists from other sects into their own.”

“It is because Wen Zaichu and Feng Qi fear future reckoning by Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect that… ”

At this point, Luo Changfeng stopped speaking.

The other two in the courtyard under the Stone Pavilion.

At this moment, have come to a realization, nodding their heads as if it all made sense to them now.

If explained this way, one could understand why Wan Shan Prefecture Sub-sect and Changping Prefecture Sub-sect, after receiving benefits, would not support Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect but rather openly support Luo Mountain Prefecture Sub-sect where Luo Changfeng was.

“Brother Luo, if it’s as you say.”

“Then doesn’t that mean whoever first woos those two sub-sects, which stay neutral, will be at a loss?”

After thinking for a moment, Fu Qiu once again whispered a question to Luo Changfeng in front of him.

Luo Changfeng silently nodded and said in a low voice, “That seems to be the case…”

…

Da Feng Dynasty, City of Changqing Prefecture.

In a slightly dim palace of the Wan Dan Sect’s Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect.

At this moment, Nangong Ming, the current Sect Master of Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect.

Was standing silently in the center of the palace.

In front of him was a Yellow Grade top-quality Alchemy Furnace.

Standing behind him was Zhuang Hong, the Deputy Sect Master of Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect.

“Sect Master, Wan Shan Prefecture Sub-sect and Changping Prefecture Sub-sect have already chosen to openly support Luo Mountain Prefecture Sub-sect,”

Zhuang Hong spoke in a low voice, slightly bowing his head.

“Has the benefit been sent?”

Nangong Ming asked expressionlessly.

Zhuang Hong silently nodded and replied in a soft voice, “It was sent three days ago, but what was unexpected was that after receiving the benefits, Wan Shan Prefecture Sub-sect and Changping Prefecture Sub-sect directly chose to betray us, not only not supporting our Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect but even openly choosing to support Luo Mountain Prefecture Sub-sect.”

“The leaders of Wan Shan Prefecture and Changping Prefecture Sub-sects truly deserve to die…”

As Zhuang Hong’s response fell,

The dim palace once again became very quiet.

The atmosphere inside the palace also gradually became tense.

The sound of heartbeats, gradually amplified.

The sound of breathing, clearly audible.

And just when Zhuang Hong could barely withstand the tension,

Within the palace, Nangong Ming waved his hand and said in a low voice.

“I understand, you may leave…”

Zhuang Hong silently nodded and said, “Yes.”

…

After that, Zhuang Hong turned and left the palace.

With the departure of Zhuang Hong, the Deputy Sect Master,

The vast palace once again had only Nangong Ming, the current Sect Master of Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect,

And the Yellow Grade top-quality Alchemy Furnace placed in front of him.

“Having received benefits, but instead choosing to openly support Luo Mountain Prefecture Sub-sect…”

“Could it be that I have done something wrong?”

Nangong Ming frowned slightly as he muttered to himself,

As if asking someone else,

As if questioning himself.

“Young Master, should we inform the old master of this matter?”

“If the old master makes a move, it’s not just the number one seat of sub-sect within the Da Feng Dynasty we can aim for, even if the Young Master wants to vie for the top position among the sub-sects in the entire Dong Huang Divine State, it wouldn’t be impossible.”

In the empty palace,

Behind Nangong Ming,

A middle-aged man dressed in black, whose cultivation level was unknown but clearly considerable, suddenly appeared.
