Chapter 603: Chapter 289 Greedy Royal Feng Family_2

A mysterious man with his face hidden in the shadows.

At this moment, he was softly reporting some information.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

“The situation with the Qingshi City Luo Family is as I had anticipated,” he said.

“What about the White Brahma Temple?”

From his seat of honor,

Yan Buming fell silent for a moment before he quietly asked the black-clothed cultivator beside him.

...

The expressionless black-clothed man quietly responded, “In the past half month, the forces mobilized by the White Brahma Temple have been growing increasingly large, and that evil thing, the White Brahma Lotus rooted above White Lotus Prefecture, seems to have been gradually extending its roots toward the territory of our Great Flame Dynasty. Although at this time the White Brahma Temple hasn’t launched a real attack, if things continue this way…”

“The situation may become extremely unfavorable for our Great Flame Dynasty,” he said.

Having said this,

the mysterious man clad in black clothing,

whose face was buried in the shadows,

proceeded to lower his head, ceasing to speak.

In the grand hall, sat silently on the throne, seemingly radiating traces of imperial majesty, was Yan Buming.

After hearing these words,

a somewhat grave expression involuntarily appeared on his always calm face.

As time trickled by,

the situation seemed to be growing increasingly complicated.

Originally, if things had gone according to his previous plan,

the Qingshi City Luo Family would be doomed.

The White Brahma Temple, located within White Lotus Prefecture and known as one of the Three Great Demonic Forces of Buddhism,

would soon follow in the footsteps of the Qingshi City Luo Family.

And the Feng Family, with its profound foundation and the role of master of the Da Feng Dynasty,

would also gradually decline

under the incremental absorption by the Royal Yan Family,

and perhaps even disappear from the long course of history.

But man’s calculations are no match for heaven’s; no amount of planning can ever outpace the speed of unexpected developments.

“What stance has the Da Feng Dynasty’s Imperial Feng Family taken on this matter?” he asked after a long while.

After a lengthy silence, the seated Yan Buming once again spoke up to inquire.

The black-clothed cultivator, with his head lowered, replied, “It seems they don’t intend to get involved…”

Upon hearing this, Yan Buming couldn’t help but narrow his eyes slightly.

“Don’t intend to get involved?”

He repeated the phrase, the emotions swirling and changing more and more rapidly in his slightly narrowed eyes.

Then, as more time passed,

Yan Buming eventually returned to his senses.

Only then did he shift his gaze back to the black-clothed cultivator beside him.

He waved his hand dismissively and said softly, “You may go.”

With Yan Buming’s voice still echoing,

the black-clothed mysterious cultivator

vanished into the somewhat dimly lit grand hall, out of Yan Buming’s sight.

“Don’t intend to get involved…”

Alone, Yan Buming sat silently in his seat of honor.

Raising his head, he looked in the direction of the Imperial Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty, muttering to himself, “Is it that they don’t intend to get involved, or do they wish to use the White Brahma Temple and Qingshi City Luo Family to weaken the power of our Great Flame Dynasty?”

“Or could it be that the Imperial Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty would prefer to see the tripartite powers of our Great Flame Dynasty, Qingshi City Luo Family, and White Brahma Temple all suffer mutual defeat?”

As he thought this over,

Yan Buming’s expression grew increasingly unsightly.

At first, he had simply thought

that the Da Feng Dynasty only intended to sit back and watch.

Letting his Great Flame Dynasty take the lead first,

and if possible, the Imperial Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty would then get involved,

to share in the spoils of the Qingshi City Luo Family with the Great Flame Dynasty.

It never occurred to Yan Buming, however…

that the Imperial Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty

would be so greedy.

The Qingshi City Luo Family alone was not enough to satisfy the appetite of the Imperial Feng Family.

They were even thinking of waiting for the right moment,

waiting until the strengths of the Qingshi City Luo Family, White Brahma Temple, and the Imperial Yan Family of the Great Flame Dynasty

had all been sufficiently depleted.

He struck fiercely, capturing all three powers in one fell swoop.

“With such actions, is your Feng Family not being a bit too greedy?”

“Human desires are never satisfied, like a snake swallowing an elephant…”

After muttering to himself,

Yan Buming, who sat in the seat of honor, slowly stood up.

He silently looked outside the hall.

Then, he walked out.

…

Soon,

another day had passed.

In the Da Feng Dynasty, at Luo Mountain Prefecture.

Within the Luo Family Ancestral Land in Qingshi City, in the room where the Luo Family Patriarch resided,

Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family,

sat quietly in the seat of honor, slightly bowing his head,

looking over the governmental affairs in his hands while sipping the cup of steaming spiritual energy tea in his grasp.

“Family Head…”

Suddenly, a mysterious and somewhat blurry figure appeared in the room,

standing before Luo Ping.

Luo Ping, the current Luo Family Patriarch, did not look up.

He merely glanced at the person before him.

Then, he returned his gaze to the governmental affairs in his hands,

asking in a low voice as he examined them, “What’s the matter?”

The mysterious black-clothed cultivator, his head lowered and his face full of respectful expressions, said, “Family Head, the White Brahma Temple has started to mobilize its forces, sending the demonic monks from within and the puppeteers controlled by the evil entity White Brahma Lotus within the White Lotus Prefecture to the borders of the Great Flame Dynasty. Pressured, the Great Flame Dynasty had no choice but to withdraw the troops that were gathered at the borders near our Qingshi City.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Ping nodded, saying, “This is within expectations. Is there anything else?”

The black-clothed cultivator, his head still lowered, said, “Additionally, the evil entity White Brahma Lotus rooted above the White Lotus Prefecture has seemingly extended its roots towards the Great Flame Dynasty over the past half-month…”

With the cultivator’s words,

Luo Ping, who was silently reading a document,

suddenly raised his head.

Frowning slightly, he looked at the black-clothed cultivator before him and asked in a low voice, “Are you certain?”

The black-clothed cultivator did not make a sound, but simply nodded his head.

“Good, I understand,” Luo Ping said as he gestured with a wave of his hand,

until the person before him gradually vanished from the room.

Then, Luo Ping, who sat in the seat of honor, began to ponder over this matter in his mind.

“White Brahma Temple…”

“Evil entity White Brahma Lotus…”

“It seems that not only does the Qingshi City Luo Family want to leverage the power of the White Brahma Temple, but the Temple also seems to be trying to use the strength of our Qingshi City Luo Family to expand its territory and power…” he thought to himself.

Afterward, Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family, turned his head,

looking towards Luo Yao at his side.

“How have the matters I charged you with been handled?” he asked Luo Yao in a low voice.

“They are mostly taken care of…” Luo Yao put down the government affairs he was handling,

then turned his head.

Forcing a smile onto his face, he replied softly.

“Is that so?” Luo Ping quietly nodded, keeping his gaze on Luo Yao for a moment, feeling that the young man was somewhat strange.

But he couldn’t quite put his finger on what was odd.

With no alternative, he withdrew his gaze,

and picked up the document he hadn’t finished reading, perusing it slowly.

And Luo Yao, seated next to Family Head Luo Ping,

who had just been directly addressed,

looked calm on the surface at this moment,

but inside, he was already feeling a bit panicked.

Slacking off at work, and now being questioned by his own Family Head about it.

If it weren’t for Luo Yao’s quick reactions and the neat way he had handled the situation,

things would have become troublesome.
