Chapter 29: Chapter 29: The Slaughter Begins!_1
In the courtyard, Luo Changfeng watched as the two people before him gradually walked away.
He then opened the golden finger panel that belonged to him alone.
[Name: Luo Changfeng!]
[Lifespan: 3 days+]
[Cultivation: Bone Refinement Perfection+?270/500?]
[Qi-Blood: 1330?-83?(ps: Safe useable Qi-Blood is 50 points!)]
[Cultivation Technique: Mortal Top-Grade?Fierce Tiger Force (Comprehension: 30%+), Mortal Top-Grade?Feng Ying Steps (Comprehension: 4%+)(Incomplete)]
The familiar golden finger panel.
Still that scant few days of lifespan remaining.
Still that Bone Refinement Perfection in cultivation.
Still that total Qi-Blood count of 1330 for the family.
It seems that apart from the experience value behind the cultivation level, and a slight increase in the comprehension of Feng Ying Steps,
there wasn’t too much of a change in other things.
“Apply today’s 50 Qi-Blood points entirely to my cultivation…”
[Host’s intention detected, deducting 50 Qi-Blood…]
[Cultivation level increasing…]
A cold voice echoed in Luo Changfeng’s mind.
A mysterious and powerful force once again surged within his body.
Until that mysterious energy had strengthened the bones in every part of his body,
that force then slowly dissipated.
“Da Feng Dynasty is a breeding ground for chaos, a storm is coming.”
“This forceful grab at wealth will certainly deplete a wave of the already scarce lifespan of the Da Feng Dynasty.”
“The true era of chaos, it seems, is really about to begin…”
“Fortunately, there is still time.”
“At least, I can strive to elevate my cultivation to the Organ Refinement Realm, which is above Bone Refinement, before the true chaos descends.”
“Once I achieve a breakthrough in my cultivation, the issue of insufficient lifespan will be thoroughly resolved.”
“By then, I can give proper consideration to the growth and expansion of the family and also…”
“the issue of Luo Youwei’s special physique.”
Time flew by swiftly.
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.
Within these three days, a small portion of the family clans seemed unable to withstand the terrible pressure,
and thus sold off the family’s enterprises.
They amassed a great deal of money and handed it over.
In doing so, they sought to secure the continuation of their family in Qingshi Town.
Of course, there were those who could not withstand the pressure and thus surrendered their wealth, while others wanted to gamble with their fortune to try their luck.
Betting that General Tao Ji, who had suddenly appeared in Qingshi Town, would not dare to act rashly.
Betting that Tao Ji would not dare to unsheathe the slaughter-knife that was silently hidden away.
“Mayor Yue, how is the situation now?”
On the city walls of Qingshi Town, which were neither particularly sturdy nor particularly tall,
General Tao Ji, adorned in shining silver armor,
stood silently with his hands behind his back, looking down upon the myriad of beings within Qingshi Town.
“My lord, the majority of the family clans within Qingshi Town have donated their wealth.”
“But there is still a small part of the family clans who claim they are truly in difficulty, that there is no surplus gold and silver within the clan, so…”
As Mayor Yue Jun spoke, his voice suddenly dropped.
Not collecting the prescribed gold and silver truly reflected his inadequacy.
“Mayor Yue, you have done your best.”
“There is no need for you to trouble yourself with the remaining matters.”
Tao Ji said expressionlessly and then waved his hand to summon his lieutenant.
After instructing his lieutenant to seal off all the gates in Qingshi Town,
General Tao Ji, clad in shining silver armor, led those elite soldiers wearing dark red armor, who were faintly emitting waves of murderous aura,
towards the direction of those family clans that claimed they had no surplus gold and silver because of genuine difficulties.
Qingshi Town, Luo Family Ancestral Land.
Luo Changfeng, who was sitting and reading a book under the Stone Pavilion in the courtyard,
suddenly put down the book in his hands.
He gazed beyond the courtyard.
“It’s starting…”
He murmured in a low voice.
Then, he stood up and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.
Qingshi Town, Luo Family Ancestral Land.
In the room where the Luo Family Patriarch dealt with family affairs.
Luo Chuan, who was the current Young Master of the Luo Family, suddenly entered this room.
“Father, the slaughter has begun…”
Luo Chuan silently walked up to his father, Luo Ping, and said in a calm tone.
“The slaughter has begun?” Luo Ping looked up in confusion, furrowing his brows slightly.
“Father, do you want to go see?”
Luo Chuan still spoke emotionlessly, low in volume.
“Are you talking about those foreign soldiers?”
Luo Ping seemed to recall something, finally engaging in the same topic as his son.
“Father, should we go out to see it?”
“This will be an important moment for the complete collapse of the Da Feng Dynasty.”
Luo Chuan spoke calmly, his slightly immature face so calm it was almost unsettling.
“No, I still have…”
“There are still some matters to attend to here.”
“I won’t go out.”
Luo Ping swallowed, suppressing the shiver in his heart and the uneasy feeling.
“Is that so?”
“It’s a pity, Father…”
Luo Chuan shook his head in what seemed like regret, then turned and quietly walked out of the room.
It seemed as though the majority of people had a premonition of the impending storm of blood and gore.
Therefore, even in broad daylight,
The vast Qingshi Town was nearly deserted, with only a few pedestrians on the streets.
[Tap tap…]
[Tap tap tap…]
Suddenly, a series of orderly footsteps came from a distance.
As time passed, the sound of these footsteps drew increasingly closer.
“Aren’t you afraid, little guy?”
Outside the Luo Family Ancestral Land, at the main entrance,
Luo Changfeng looked at the somewhat youthful Luo Chuan.
He silently stepped forward and extended his withered right hand to rest it on the young fellow’s shoulder.
“I feel some instinctual fear, but I’m not too afraid…”
Luo Chuan turned his head to glance at Patriarch Changfeng standing beside him and said with a composed expression.
“Oh?” Luo Changfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, his interest in this young fellow piqued.
“This army is absolutely elite.”
“The murderous aura on these soldiers is heavy.”
“Instinctively, there is bound to be fear, but I know they are not targeting me, nor our Luo Family.”
“So, I’m a bit scared, but not too much…”
Luo Chuan explained emotionlessly.
However, when he turned his head back around,
Looking at the somewhat pale face of his Patriarch Changfeng,
Feeling that scent of decay and that aura… of a man on his deathbed?
His eyebrows slightly furrowed, and a hint of confusion could not help but show on his expressionless face.
“Patriarch Changfeng, you asked me a question, may I ask one in return?”
Luo Changfeng, his curiosity evidently piqued, chuckled and said, “Ask away.”
“Patriarch Changfeng, as early as half a month, or even a month ago, rumors have been circulating in Qingshi Town, suggesting that you…”
“Even standing by your side, I can clearly feel that you…”
“So I want to ask, what exactly…”
Looking at the curiosity plastered over Luo Chuan’s face, Luo Changfeng couldn’t help but laugh, “Your question is good, however…”
“Such questions should not be asked again in the future.”
