Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood Chapter 374 - 175 The Fall of Qingcheng Prefecture2

At this mont, Ke Xiaowen, the current Family Head of the Ke Family, was sitting silently in a chair of honor.

Before him stood a figure clad in black,

whose body faintly exuded bursts of icy chill.

"Family Head, the New Emperor Feng Wumian, Feng Wuhen, and the Luo Family, these three forces have each deployed armies of nearly five hundred thousand or even more into Qingcheng Prefecture, seeming intent on dividing the territory in the shortest ti possible..."

The man in black slightly bowed his head, speaking in a low voice.

"What about the Xu Family of Wan Shan Prefecture?"

"Are they still watching us here?"

From the seat of honor, Ke Xiaowen fell silent for a mont before once again raising his voice to inquire.

The man in black, upon hearing this, silently nodded in response.

Seeing this, Ke Xiaowen’s expression gradually turned even grimr.

Not long after, the man clad in black disappeared from the room.

Within this sowhat oppressive atmosphere,

only Ke Xiaowen, the Patriarch of the Ke Family, remained.

"Wan Shan Prefecture, the Xu Family..."

Ke Xiaowen murmured under his breath.

On his rather unsightly face,

a trace of helpless resignation began to erge.

Ever since the New Emperor Feng Wumian decided to create so trouble for the Luo Family, consequently aiding the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family,

the Ke Family had entered a stage of rapid developnt.

In an incredibly short span of ti, the Ke Family had occupied the territory of Changli Prefecture.

In an incredibly short span of ti, the Ke Family had gained complete control over the territory of Changli Prefecture.

In an incredibly short span of ti, the comprehensive strength of the Ke Family had seen an extrely swift surge.

Not to say they could stand shoulder to shoulder with the New Emperor Feng Wumian or the Luo Family, which possessed three prefectures,

but compared to so forces with only a single territory,

it was still very easy for the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture to gain an edge.

Even for the Xu Family of Wan Shan Prefecture, if the Ke Family was willing to make sacrifices,

the Xu Family would ultimately still be no match for the Ke Family, which controlled two prefectures.

However, for the future of the Ke Family,

Ke Xiaowen could not act in such a way.

He absolutely must, must retain enough strength; he must keep enough troops.

Only by doing so could the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture take advantage of the chaotic tis

and then rise to prominence completely,

even surpassing the New Emperor Feng Wumian and the Luo Family, which possessed three prefectures.

However, what gave Ke Xiaowen a headache

was that ever since that incident had occurred,

the Xu Family Patriarch of Wan Shan Prefecture had set his sights on his Ke Family.

At first, it was manageable,

as the Xu Family had no evidence, and with their elders’ strong opposition, the Patriarch of the Xu Family did not imdiately declare war on the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture.

But as ti went on, and as the Luo Family provided one excuse after another to the hands of the Xu Family Patriarch,

even though the Xu Family Patriarch could see at a glance

that it was the Luo Family stirring up trouble,

he still chose to turn a blind eye.

Disregarding the opposition of the elders,

he publicly declared war on the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture.

After the declaration of war, the Xu Family of Wan Shan Prefecture stuck to the Ke Family like a stubborn plaster,

unshakeable by the Ke Family’s efforts to rid themselves of it.

The Ke Family wished to mobilize its armies to crush the Xu Family’s troops in one fell swoop.

But the cavalry composed of the Mo Yu Kylin under the Xu Family’s command

were slippery like eels.

When the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture had a large number of troops, they simply fled.

And when the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture paid them little heed,

the Xu Family’s Mo Yu Kylin cavalry

would make brazen raids within Xunyang Prefecture.

To call this style of warfare shaless would not be an exaggeration.

Moreover, the current ti,

coinciding with the fall of Qingcheng Prefecture and the mont the armies of the three forces—the New Emperor Feng Wumian, Feng Wuhen, and the Luo Family with three prefectures—entered Qingcheng Prefecture,

was also the most opportune mont for the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture to expand.

To let the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture give up such an opportune chance for developnt in favor of a head-on conflict with the Xu Family of Wan Shan Prefecture?

That was clearly sowhat unrealistic.

...

In the room.

Ke Xiaowen, the current family head of the Ke Family, sat alone in contemplation for a long ti.

He then slowly exhaled a sigh.

Standing up, he clasped his hands behind his back.

And silently walked towards the outside of the room.

The issue with the Xu Family from Wan Shan Prefecture was a major one that he needed to resolve imdiately.

And the wide-open gates of Qingcheng Prefecture presented a pri opportunity for his family in Xunyang Prefecture.

He couldn’t just easily pass it by.

However, he wondered how he could balance all these matters.

At the mont, Ke Xiaowen seed to have no clues.

...

In Luo Mountain Prefecture, Qingshi City, at the Luo Family Ancestral Land.

Inside the room where the Luo Family Patriarch was situated.

At that mont, a large number of middle-aged n in uniform were sitting quietly around a wooden table.

Bowing their heads slightly, they appeared quite earnest in dealing with the stacks and stacks of docunts piled high.

Sitting at the head of the table,

Luo Ping, the current Patriarch of the Luo Family,

was leisurely brewing tea at that ti.

While brewing tea, he also glanced silently at the people before him.

And whenever Luo Ping’s gaze lingered on soone,

those n in uniform would intentionally straighten their backs.

It seed they were eager to make a good impression in the eyes of Luo Ping.

"Huh..."

Picking up the teapot, he poured a cup of hot tea.

Then, Luo Ping lifted the cup of hot tea to his lips,

and gently blew on it.

Now, the gates of Qingcheng Prefecture were wide open.

The New Emperor, Feng Wumian, was already deploying his armies into the lands of Qingcheng Prefecture in an unending flow.

Feng Wuhen, who was watching eagerly nearby, hoping to profit from the situation,

had also mobilized his troops and entered the lands of Qingcheng Prefecture. Stay tuned for updates on empire

Of course, the Luo Family, which already controlled three prefectures, was no exception.

However, unlike what others might assu,

The actions of the Luo Family this ti were not aid at expanding their territory as much as possible but at slowing down the movents of Feng Wumian as much as they could.

They aid to prevent Feng Wumian from expanding his territory.

In doing so, the Luo Family could consider themselves successful.

"Patriarch..."

Suddenly, Fang Chaowu, who was sitting next to Luo Ping at a table, stood up.

He bowed slightly, gesturing respectfully towards Luo Ping.

"What is it?"

Luo Ping quietly set down his teacup and turned his gaze to Fang Chaowu before he asked in a low voice.

"Not long ago, the monks from the Great Hanging Temple ca by once again, saying they wished to et with you..."

"The monks from the Great Hanging Temple say that the threat and terror of White Brahma Temple, one of the three great demonic Buddhist forces, far exceed what ordinary people can imagine. If it’s not eradicated in ti..."

"It might lead to a catastrophic disaster..."

Fang Chaowu spoke softly, his head slightly bowed.

"The Great Hanging Temple?"

"And they wish to see ?"

"The threat of the Great Hanging Temple far exceeds the imagination of the common folk?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Ping couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head.

Was he not aware of the threat posed by White Brahma Temple?

The mont White Brahma Temple erged, he had inquired with the ancestor of his family.

He had asked the ancestor’s opinion on White Brahma Temple.

Yet the answer he received was that it need not be a concern.

Moreover, the Feng Family, part of the royal household of the Da Feng Dynasty, also remained indifferent to White Brahma Temple and showed no reaction.

Investing a great deal of effort in competing for the lands of Qingcheng Prefecture,

In such a situation, why should his Luo Family bother?

Even if things turned to the worst,

If death ca, it would befall everyone together.

Surely the Luo Family wouldn’t be the only ones to perish?

Thus, upon reflection, what was there to fear from White Brahma Temple?

"They’re just a few surviving monks from the Great Hanging Temple, pay them no mind..."

Luo Ping spoke in a low voice to Fang Chaowu in front of him while continuing to sip his tea.
