Chapter 72: Chapter 72: The Fall of Huangqu Town!_1
“`
In the blink of an eye, several days had passed.
After the Luo Family of Qingshi Town had made all the preparations,
Luo Yong took thirty thousand regular troops with him.
And marched towards the direction of Huangqu Town.
Once Luo Yong reached the area where Huangqu Town was located,
he deployed his troops and generals, completely besieging the town.
The encirclement was so tight that not even a fly could escape, let alone a person.
As for this action by the Luo Family of Qingshi Town,
the families within Huangqu Town were filled with panic and extreme unease.
But under the temptation of absolute power,
nobody chose to surrender to the Luo Family.
Whether it was out of wishful thinking or some other reason,
the war between the Luo Family of Qingshi Town and Huangqu Town
was now unavoidable.
…
In Huangqu Town, in the territory of the Huang Family,
Huang Baidao, the current Family Head of the Huang Family,
was silently sitting under the Stone Pavilion in the courtyard,
appearing quite relaxed as he sipped warm tea.
“Father, the Luo Family’s troops have already arrived at our doorstep…”
“They’ve completely surrounded Huangqu Town…”
Youth Huang Zeng suddenly appeared in the courtyard.
Seeing his father seemingly as carefree as ever,
he couldn’t help himself.
He spoke softly to his father in front of him.
“Who told you these things?”
Huang Baidao glanced at his son Huang Zeng beside him and asked in a calm voice.
“No, nobody told me, it’s all my own thinking…”
After swallowing nervously, Huang Zeng said with a somewhat panicked expression.
“Was it the Wu Family, or the Bai Family?”
“Or perhaps other families within Huangqu Town are involved too?”
While speaking, Huang Baidao couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter.
Power is indeed like a poison,
once touched, it seeps into the bone marrow.
The situation is now very clear.
Nobody in Huangqu Town can stand against the overwhelming force of the Luo Family.
Yet the Wu and Ba Family, as well as some other families within the town,
wish to cling to their power and compete with the Luo Family.
Isn’t that seeking their own destruction?
“The current prevailing force is in the hands of the Luo Family.”
“So no matter who taught you to say what you said today,”
“you need to forget it all.”
“From now on, stay quietly within our family.”
“Chaos like this won’t last long.”
After pondering for a moment, Huang Zeng asked in a low voice, “Father, are you saying that it won’t be long before Huangqu Town falls to the Luo Family?”
“Three days at the shortest, seven at the longest.”
“Huangqu Town will be breached…”
…
The ensuing events were not much different from what Huang Baidao, the Family Head of the Huang Family, had foreseen.
It took only five days
for the Luo Family of Qingshi Town to breach Huangqu Town.
The Luo Family took over the town quite smoothly,
after losing about one thousand soldiers from their thirty thousand-strong army.
Of course, some killing was unavoidable.
Luo Qingshan, a young generation member of the Luo Family, also joined the slaughter.
Because of this killing, Luo Qingshan’s cultivation once again soared rapidly, like riding a train, reaching the Initial Realm of Bone Refinement.
“`
During this period, there were several times when Luo Qingshan felt he could barely control himself.
However, fortunately, the suppression of the Calming Heart Pill was in place.
Thus, he wasn’t completely taken over by the endless slaughter that threatened to dominate his heart.
…
Following the Luo Family’s army’s entry into Huangqu Town,
The first matter Luo Yong had to deal with was the reckoning.
Initially, the Luo Family had not expected to expend such great effort to take over Huangqu Town.
However, due to the obstruction by the Wu Family within Huangqu Town, the Bai Family, and a slew of other familial forces,
The Luo Family ended up losing a full thousand soldiers in this place.
Consequently, after the war,
The Wu Family, Bai Family, and those other familial forces that hindered the Luo Family were naturally subjected to retribution.
…
In less than half a day’s time,
The Wu and Bai families in Huangqu Town, as well as a multitude of other familial powers, were annihilated one after another.
As for the so-called Huang Family of Huangqu Town,
This family happened to be an exception.
They became one of the few powers within Huangqu Town that still stood steadfast under the Luo Family’s purge.
“Dad, the Wu Family has fallen, and so has the Bai Family…”
“You were right, in the face of the Luo Family’s overwhelming power, no one in Huangqu Town could stand in its way,” said Huang Zeng,
In the courtyard of the Huang family, beneath the Stone Pavilion.
The Young Master of the Huang Family, Huang Zeng,
Was silently standing by his father’s side at this moment.
His expression seemed to carry a trace of panic and unease.
The Wu Family, the Bai Family.
These two great families had been known within Huangqu Town as the three great families alongside their Huang Family.
But now, these two great families had collapsed just like that.
Huang Zeng indeed felt a chill as if when one’s neighboring walls collapse or a sense of sorrow like when one fox mourns the death of another.
“I had advised them…”
“However, it seemed to have been of no use.”
“They ultimately did not listen to me,” said Huang Baidao, seated under the Stone Pavilion with a slight sigh, his words tinged with helplessness.
“Dad, do you think our Huang Family…”
“Will follow in the footsteps of the Wu Family and the Bai Family?” Huang Zeng hesitated for a moment before asking.
“From the very beginning, our Huang Family never hindered that Luo Family from Qingshi Town, and at most, they would have us hand over the lands and key industries we held.”
“At most, it would merely be paying with money to save our lives.”
“We won’t fall to that extent…” Huang Baidao said in a low voice while picking up the cup of tea that had already cooled on the stone table.
…
The next day, at dawn,
After the Luo Family had thoroughly dealt with the Wu and Bai families, as well as several other families that had obstructed them,
Luo Yong and Luo Qingshan finally stepped into the territory of the Huang Family.
“Is this the Huang Family territory?”
“The family force that has been rumored to have produced an Immortal?” Clad in armor and with a treasured sword fastened at his waist, Luo Yong gazed at the scene before him which seemed not much different from other family forces.
Except for being larger in size and carrying a certain ancient charm, there was nothing particularly special about the Huang Family territory.
Luo Yong’s narrowed eyes could not help but sparkle with a glint of light.
Luo Qingshan, standing beside Luo Yong, remained silent, but the curiosity towards the Huang Family in his eyes was already brimming over.
“Let’s go, let’s take a look inside…” Luo Yong said in a low voice.
Subsequently, he led his son, his deputy general,
And several personal guards with cultivation reaching the Initial Realm of Bone Refinement,
And entered the Huang Family territory with a rather calm demeanor.
