Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood Chapter 376 - 176: The Way Out for the Ke Family?2

...

Qingcheng Prefecture.

Luowu County.

Within a city that occupied an extensive area and had a population that had already surpassed a million, atop its walls,

Yan Xun stood quietly.

It was noon at that mont.

The blazing sun was hung high in the sky, ceaselessly showering the land with its harsh rays.

As ti passed,

Gentle breezes suddenly swept through.

However, these slight winds did nothing to dispel the irritability in Yan Xun’s heart.

Instead, they gradually ignited an unnad fla within him.

Just as Yan Xun was about to leave this city, to stop pondering over the matters concerning the Luo Family,

And to first seize all the territories within Qingcheng Prefecture that could be taken,

His mind suddenly conjured a sowhat terrifying possibility.

His army’s position,

Was directly opposite the direction of the Lu Family’s forces.

That is to say, it seed like the Luo Family was marching towards the position of his army.

However, if that was indeed the case,

Then the next problem arose.

What exactly did the Luo Family’s troops, marching in his direction, intend to do?

Did they want to battle him?

Or did they have so other purpose?

...

After thinking this,

Yan Xun’s face gradually took on a more unsightly expression.

Regardless of the reason,

At this point in ti,

The Luo Family, which controlled three prefectures, was looking to trouble him.

This was going to be an extrely troubleso problem for both him and the Da Feng Dynasty’s New Emperor, Feng Wumian, who supported him.

"Soone..."

Atop the city walls, Yan Xun, clad in a robe of purple and gold armor, with a waistband sheathing a slightly glowing, chilly blade,

Suddenly called out loudly.

"General?"

Upon hearing the call of his general, the deputy who had already gone so distance,

Quickly turned and rushed towards where General Yan Xun was.

When the deputy finally reached Yan Xun’s side,

He bowed slightly, with a deep look of respect in his eyes.

"Lean in close; there’s sothing I have to discuss with you..." Yan Xun waved the deputy over.

After a mont of hesitation, the deputy silently moved forward.

So, after a bit of whispering,

The deputy’s eyes suddenly widened,

Sparkling with a look of disbelief.

"Rember, return swiftly,"

"Report this matter to His Majesty."

"If it’s just being overly concerned, then so be it."

"But if things are indeed as I suspect, then we are in for so trouble..."

As Yan Xun spoke,

His eyes flickered with expressions of caution and seriousness.

In a head-on confrontation, he wasn’t afraid of the Luo Family.

He even had confidence in gaining so advantage.

But if the Luo Family, which controlled three prefectures, decided to trouble him at this critical juncture—when seizing Qingcheng Prefecture was of utmost importance—

Then, it wasn’t hard to imagine what could happen next.

Neither the New Emperor Feng Wumian nor the Luo Family,

Had many more opportunities to act against Qingcheng Prefecture.

anwhile, His Majesty’s brother and rival, Feng Wuhen,

Could seize this perfect opportunity

To lay claim to most of the territories within Qingcheng Prefecture.

As a result, Feng Wuhen’s power would see a significant enhancent.

And the structure within the Da Feng Dynasty...

Would undergo a drastic change.

...

In the blink of an eye, another day had passed.

Da Feng Dynasty, Xunyang Prefecture, Ke Family estate.

Inside the room where the Family Head of the Ke Family resided,

Ke Xiaowen, the current Family Head of the Ke Family, was sitting solemnly in the main seat.

Before him stood a young man who appeared quite handso and carried a slight smile on his face, quietly standing.

"Ke Family Head, have you made your decision?"

"Now, the gates of Qingcheng Prefecture have already swung wide open."

"New Emperor Feng Wumian, Feng Wuhen, as well as the Luo Family that possesses the territory of three prefectures, are all dividing up every bit of revenue from Qingcheng Prefecture."

"At this ti, not only is it an opportunity for these three powers to expand, but it is also the Ke Family’s only and sole chance."

"If this opportunity can be seized, the rise of the Ke Family is just around the corner."

"But if it’s missed..."

"Once the land of Qingcheng Prefecture is completely divided up by those three powers,"

"the next one to fall could very well be the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture."

"Besides, there’s another very important point."

"The White Brahma Temple, one of the Three Great Demonic Forces of Buddhism, is nearby Xunyang Prefecture."

"At this mont, if we don’t quickly expand our own strength,"

"the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture could very well beco the next Qingcheng Prefecture..."

Inside the room.

The handso young man smiled slightly as he spoke in a low voice.

The ease in his words seed to show no worry that the Ke Family Head before him would refuse at all.

In fact, the Ke Family of today

also had no other choice left.

The Xu Family of Wan Shan Prefecture was still closely watching every move of the Ke Family. Find exclusive content at empire

The White Lotus Temple within White Lotus Prefecture was growing at a terrifyingly fast pace.

The three great powers within Qingcheng Prefecture were also dividing up the land at the fastest speed.

Now, it seed calm.

It seed like the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture had no issues at all.

But as ti passed,

with the continued growth of the White Brahma Temple,

with the complete fall of Qingcheng Prefecture,

with the political situation within the Da Feng Dynasty gradually becoming clearer,

the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture’s position would also beco increasingly perilous.

When that ti cos, not only the White Brahma Temple from within White Lotus Prefecture

will lock its sights onto the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture.

Even New Emperor Feng Wumian, Feng Wuhen, and the Luo Family that possesses the territory of three prefectures

will set their sights on the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture.

And if that ti really cos, to say the Ke Family is the next Qingcheng Prefecture would not be an overstatent.

"The political situation within the Da Feng Dynasty is becoming clear."

"New Emperor Feng Wumian, Second Prince Feng Wuhen, and the Luo Family that possess the land of three prefectures."

"And also, our Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture."

"At this ti, the powers within your Jiangnan Prefecture looking to withdraw from the competition likely find themselves in a difficult position, don’t they?"

"So, rather than saying you in Jiangnan Prefecture want to lend a hand to our Ke Family, it’s more like..."

"Now Jiangnan Prefecture wants to pull out of the competition and leave the Da Feng Dynasty, even hoping to use the territory of Jiangnan Prefecture to acquire a sufficient amount of resources."

"Besides our Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture, you have no other choice..."

In the room, atop the main seat,

the Ke Family Head Ke Xiaowen, wearing a brown coat and exuding an aura of authoritative presence inherent to a Family Head,

was silently observing the young man in front of him.

And as the standoff between the two continued,

the young representative from Jiangnan Prefecture finally began to feel the pressure.

His complexion finally lost the calmness it had at the beginning.

In his eyes flickered thoughts that seed to be increasingly agitated.

The Ke Family Head was right.

The relationship between Jiangnan Prefecture and the Ke Family should be one of mutual help and use.

The familial powers within Jiangnan Prefecture wished to disengage,

to leave the endless strife of the Da Feng Dynasty,

to seek a life in other peaceful dynasties,

and furthermore, before leaving,

they still wanted to strike a considerable deal using the land of Jiangnan Prefecture.

For Jiangnan Prefecture, the only choice was the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture,

because whether it was the Luo Family that possessed the land of three prefectures, New Emperor Feng Wumian, or Feng Wuhen,

any one of these three parties would only employ absolutely forceful thods

to completely take over the land of Jiangnan Prefecture.

Who would be willing to pay a significant price when they can get it for nothing?

And even if soone among those three powers were willing to pay a certain price to acquire Jiangnan Prefecture,

the issue is, who could outbid the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture?

Keep in mind, the Ke Family now only had two paths,

either to pay a hefty price to acquire Jiangnan Prefecture,

or to wait for death.

Between these two choices, the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture would certainly choose the latter.

Under such circumstances, the price the Ke Family was willing to pay was sure to be sothing the three powers could not match.

So in the end,

for Jiangnan Prefecture, when it ca to withdrawing from the Da Feng Dynasty’s struggle and making a substantial gain before exiting,

their only option

was indeed the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture.
