Chapter 320: Chapter 158 The Miao Family Wants to Take a Gamble_1
 

The training model of the Shadow Guard.

It could indeed squeeze out a person’s greatest potential.

But this pain.

Whether that little guy can bear it…

No one knows.

However, if one wants to gain great power, to become a strong person,

there’s always a price to pay, right?

…

Watching as the young man codenamed Abyss slowly walked away.

Even disappearing from his line of sight.

Luo Changfeng then walked towards his own courtyard with his hands clasped behind his back and in silence.

Returning to the small courtyard, beneath the Stone Pavilion.

He once again picked up a cup of hot tea from the stone table.

He brought it to his lips, slowly savoring it.

This leisurely lifestyle, if he could live like this forever…

Luo Changfeng would certainly not refuse it.

But all too often, this cold and cruel world would force people to keep moving forward.

“Blood Cultivation Late Stage…”

“Blood Cultivation Perfection…”

“Mortal Transcendence…”

“And even, above Mortal Transcendence…”

Luo Changfeng murmured softly.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

There were bursts of light flickering in them.

In the Da Feng Dynasty, Blood Cultivation was enough to be considered top-notch, and Mortal Transcendence was enough to be called the strongest.

But what about outside the Da Feng Dynasty?

Was the cultivation of Mortal Transcendence Realm still sufficient?

Clearly, it seemed somewhat insufficient.

The struggles within the Da Feng Dynasty were the struggles of mortals, while the conflicts outside the Da Feng Dynasty were those between the Immortal Sects and families of Immortal Cultivators.

A mere Da Feng Dynasty might not even attract the attention of those Immortal Realm Cultivators.

…

Following the order given by the Luo Family Patriarch, Luo Ping,

Luo Yong, Luo Qingshan,

and that big swindler Tang Jian, dressed in a Taoist robe and holding a White Feather Fan,

as well as the Luo Family’s armored elite, tens of thousands strong,

all hurriedly proceeded towards the border of the Miao Family in Chenguan Prefecture.

Countless supplies and provisions,

as well as weapons, were also being transported towards the direction of the Miao Family border in Chenguan Prefecture.

Regarding this move by the Luo Family,

many families within the Da Feng Dynasty were contemplating their motives.

What was the intention of the Luo Family this time?

And on the Miao Family’s side in Chenguan Prefecture,

the atmosphere within the clan turned somewhat heavy upon learning of the Luo Family’s actions.

…

Chenguan Prefecture, Miao Family clan grounds.

Inside the chamber where the family head resided,

Miao Xingjian, the current head of the Miao Family, was sitting in the main seat.

In front of him stood a member of the Miao clan,

who was slightly bowing his head, hands clasped together as if in the middle of reporting something.

But Miao Xingjian’s face was stern,

and his complexion seemed to turn unpleasant.

“Family Head, the Luo Family from Luo Mountain Prefecture has already gathered over half a million armored elites at our Chenguan Prefecture border,”

“Countless provisions, resources, and weapons,”

“are also being transported towards our Chenguan Prefecture border.”

“What should we… do next?”

Seeing the family head not responding for a long time,

the Miao clan member could not help but ask again.

“What should we do?”

Hearing this question, Miao Xingjian’s already furrowed brow furrowed even deeper.

What should we do?

How the hell would I know?

Who could have expected that just by following the Luo Family and getting a piece of the action,

the Luo Family from Luo Mountain Prefecture would bear such a grudge?

Not long ago, the Ke Family from Xunyang Prefecture suggested,

in a letter, that we join forces to divide the territory of Changli Prefecture.

Half for you, half for me.

Wouldn’t this situation be wonderful?

Miao Xingjian, as the current head of the Miao Family, didn’t hesitate before agreeing to the suggestion from the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture.

He dispatched troops towards the border of Changli Prefecture.

After all, this was beneficial to his Miao Family and caused them no harm.

By taking over half of the territory of Changli Prefecture,

the strength of the Miao Family would greatly increase,

and their say within the Da Feng Dynasty would become much more significant.

This was indeed a win-win for both the Miao and Ke Families.

But who could have imagined that upon hearing this news,

the Luo Family from Luo Mountain Prefecture would immediately mobilize their armored elite,

and start sending them to our Chenguan Prefecture border?

Though the Luo Family hasn’t openly declared war on Chenguan Prefecture,

even so, who could not understand the Luo Family’s intentions?

…

After pondering for a long while,

Miao Xingjian’s feelings became even more complex.

“How are things now with the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture?”

Suddenly,

he asked the clan member standing before him in a low voice.

“Family Head, the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture has already gathered about half a million armored elites, encamping at the borders of Changli Prefecture,”

“They’re saying they’re just waiting for our Miao Family…”

As these words were spoken,

the atmosphere in the room,

of course, became even heavier.

“I understand the situation; you may leave now…”

After thinking for a long time,

and still not knowing what to do,

Miao Xingjian could only wave his hand in resignation, signaling that the person before him could leave.

“But, Family Head…”

“How should we respond to the Ke Family next?”

In the room, the Miao clan member suddenly looked up and asked.

Sitting in the main seat, Miao Xingjian’s expression became even uglier.

Searlier, he was worried about,

how to respond to retaliation from the Luo Family of Luo Mountain Prefecture.

And now, he was annoyed that the person before him was really being too clueless.

Didn’t you see I told you to leave?

And yet you’re still here asking questions?

What do you mean by this?

If I really knew how to respond, wouldn’t I have told you?
