Chapter 1360: Chapter 667: Returning to Qingshi City, Hosting a Banquet!_2

Luo Yao accepted the order and left, having already planned everything in his mind.

He first returned to his residence, prepared so necessary items, and then began to contact friends scattered throughout various places.

After so effort, he finally got a few cultivators with remarkable cultivation to agree to his invitation and co to assist.

A few days later, a formidable team personally led by Luo Yao was ford.

They were all highly skilled, deeply cultivated, and full of confidence for the impending battle.

On the city wall, Luo Yunfeng watched them departing, feeling both worried and hopeful in his heart.

He knew well the perils of this battle, but understood it as the only way to protect the residents of Qingshi City from bandit threats.

The team moved through the dense forest, sunlight flecking their resolute faces, each step heavy and powerful.

As the team leader, Luo Yao not only had to command the overall strategy, but also remain vigilant for potential dangers lurking around.

He knew this was not just a simple bandit eradication mission, but a great test of their cultivation, intelligence, and teamwork.

In the mountain forest, bird songs gradually faded, replaced by strange and low howling sounds.

Luo Yao furrowed his brows, signaling the team to halt, and dispatched several mbers adept in qinggong to scout ahead.

Soon, the scouts returned with tense expressions, reporting signs of bandits ahead, far more nurous than previously estimated, with the leader seemingly a highly cultivated cultivator, surrounded by faint spiritual energy fluctuations.

“Surely not simple,”

Luo Yao thought to himself, and imdiately gathered all team mbers to lay out the battle plan.

“Our goal for this trip is to dismantle the bandit lair and rescue the captured townsfolk.”

“But rember, do not underestimate the enemy, and victory should be achieved through wisdom.”

His words carried an undeniable firmness.

As night fell, the team, cloaked by the darkness, silently approached the bandit camp.

Inside the camp, lights shone brightly, and the sounds of revelry and aromas of food filled the air, clearly indicating that the bandits hadn’t detected the incoming danger.

Luo Yao instructed the team to disperse, so tasked with distracting the guards while others snuck into the camp’s depths to seek out the captured villagers and the bandit leader.

The battle erupted in an instant, flas soared, and shouts of combat echoed.

Luo Yao led the charge, wielding a longsword, cutting through the enemy like lightning, bringing down bandits wherever the sword light reached.

His cultivation was fully displayed in combat, each sword stroke containing imnse power, awe-inspiring.

However, the bandit leader was no ordinary foe.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, he imdiately rallied his n to besiege Luo Yao.

Though Luo Yao fought fiercely, he could not help but feel so strain facing so many enemies.

At this mont, his friends tily arrived, each deploying their ultimate skills, fighting alongside Luo Yao, instantly turning the tide of the battle.

After a fierce exchange, the bandit leader was finally struck down by Luo Yao, and the surviving bandits, upon witnessing this, threw down their arms and scattered. Luo Yao and his team did not give chase, instead swiftly turning towards the inner camp to search for the captured villagers.

In a secluded prison cell, they found the villagers tightly bound.

The villagers, upon seeing the rescue team, had hope shining in their eyes, with so even moved to tears.

Luo Yao and his team quickly untied the villagers’ ropes, cald their emotions, and guided them to safety.

The retreat path was not peaceful, though the bandits were defeated, remnants remained lurking.

Luo Yao stayed vigilant, knowing that any laxity at this mont could have grave consequences.

He ordered the team to heighten their guard and expedite the pace to ensure the safe return of the villagers to Qingshi City.

After a night of intense battle, the horizon began to lighten.

As the first rays of sunlight touched the walls of Qingshi City, Luo Yao and his team, along with the rescued villagers, returned to the city.

The city’s people ca out upon hearing the news, cheering and expressing their deepest respect to Luo Yao and his team.

City Lord Luo Yunfeng personally greeted Luo Yao and his team.

He held Luo Yao’s hand tightly, his eyes brimming with excitent and relief.

He knew this battle not only eradicated the bandits but also safeguarded the peace of Qingshi City and its people.

To comnd Luo Yao and his team’s significant contribution, Luo Yunfeng held a grand feast in the city.

“You did well this ti, young man.”

“I must say, you surprised …”

“You were still sowhat immature back then, and I didn’t expect that you would grow to this extent after rely a bit of trial.”

Hearing this, Luo Yao felt a warmth in his heart, humbly bowing his head, softly saying, “Uncle, you’re too kind. This achievent is the result of everyone’s joint effort.”

“Without your and the city’s people’s support, we couldn’t have achieved such a victory.”

Throughout the celebration, laughter and joy never ceased as Luo Yao and his friends gathered, sharing battle monts and the joy of victory.

They raised their glasses together, celebrating the hard-won victory and their deep friendship and seamless cooperation.

However, just as the celebration reached its peak, a mysterious man in a black robe quietly appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall.

His posture was upright, with a cold, stern face, surrounded by an unsettling aura.

Everyone turned vigilant eyes towards him, the atmosphere instantly tensing up.

Upon seeing this, Luo Yunfeng imdiately stood up and asked in a deep voice, “Who are you? Why dare you intrude on our Qingshi City celebration banquet?”

The mysterious man smiled slightly, his voice low and magnetic: “I am a ssenger of You Ming, here to deliver a ssage.”

Luo Yao: “What ssage?”

The mysterious man said: “Those bandits were controlled by our You Ming Cult. Regarding the matter of those bandits, our You Ming Cult will not pursue it this ti, but next ti might be different…”

The mysterious man’s words caused the entire banquet hall to fall into a deathly silence.

Everyone’s eyes focused on the sudden appearance of the You Ming ssenger, filled with shock and confusion.

Luo Yunfeng’s expression grew solemn, knowing well the formidable power of You Ming Cult, a force that could shake all of Qingshi City.

Luo Yao stood up, his gaze firmly eting the You Ming ssenger, asking in a deep voice, “Why does You Ming Cult control the bandits to harass Qingshi City? We have no enmity with you, why pursue such aggression?”

The You Ming ssenger smiled slightly, though his smile lacked any warmth, freezing one’s soul.

“Mr. Luo, so things aren’t as simple as they appear. Qingshi City sits at a strategic juncture, rich in resources, hence attracting many factions, You Ming Cult being just one of them.”

Hearing this, Luo Yao’s heart filled with anger, but he restrained himself from erupting, knowing that confronting You Ming’s ssenger directly wasn’t wise.

He took a deep breath, maintaining a composed tone: “Then, what is your intention coming here, You Ming ssenger?”

The You Ming ssenger slowly paced to the center of the banquet hall, surveying the surroundings, finally fixing his gaze on Luo Yunfeng.

“City Lord, our You Ming Cult harbors no ill will towards Qingshi City but hopes to establish closer ties in the future.”

“As for the bandits, they are rely pawns.”

Luo Yunfeng frowned deeply, aware that the You Ming Cult’s intentions weren’t so simple.

But he also knew better than to clash openly with You Ming Cult at this ti, choosing temporary forbearance.

“Your words, You Ming ssenger, this city lord notes them. However, Qingshi City is a place that the Luo Family has guarded for generations and won’t be easily yielded to others.”

The You Ming ssenger smiled slightly, seemingly unsurprised by Luo Yunfeng’s response.

“City Lord, you speak too seriously. You Ming Cult harbors no intent to seize Qingshi City.”

“We rely hope that in crucial monts in the future, Qingshi City might offer us so support.”

Hearing this, Luo Yao’s heart alarmingly rang with warning.
