After the city gate was gradually opened.

Tao Ji and his army of more than two thousand soldiers entered the city one after another.
However, what happened next was somewhat beyond Tao Ji’s expectations.
As soon as he entered the city, those within the city who were also fully armored, and each one strong and powerful,
emitted an aura of intense killing intent from head to toe.
At a glance, it was clear that this was an army not to be trifled with.
Surprisingly, they surrounded Tao Ji and his armored troops behind him.
“What’s happening?”
“What are all of you doing?”
“Your town head, Yue Jun, is an old friend of mine; aren’t you afraid of being punished for this?”
Those in front of Tao Ji placed the steel knives in their hands against his neck.
His complexion turned ugly in an instant,
and his face flushed red with anger.
Who was he? He was General Tao Ji.
Initially, when the upper echelons called for gold and silver, he came to Qingshi Town with a large army.
Back then, be it the family powers within Qingshi Town,
or the current town head, Yue Jun.
All of them were exceptionally respectful to him, Tao Ji, nearly falling to their knees before him.
But now, how much time had passed?
How dare this old man Yue Jun treat him this way?
Tao Ji could not accept it, he just couldn’t!
“Yue Jun, you old man Yue Jun, come out to me, come out…”
Tao Ji kept roaring continuously.
He even wanted to draw the gem-encrusted sword from his waist.
To create a bloodbath right there and then,
to show the old man Yue Jun that even if a chaotic era had descended and the old emperor had died,
it didn’t mean he could do whatever he wished.
However, as Tao Ji slowly placed his right hand on the precious sword at his waist,
a figure suddenly appeared before him.
A Hundred-Forged Steel Knife gleaming with cold light under the moonlight suddenly appeared at his neck.
The person in front of him was not particularly robust,
nor was the aura about them particularly strong.
Yet from the Hundred-Forged Steel Knife against his neck, Tao Ji could clearly sense
that if he made even the slightest move, he would be decapitated.
“A Bone Refinement Intermediate Stage existence?”
“No, not Intermediate Stage.”
“This guy seems to be in the Bone Refinement Late Stage…”
Tao Ji swallowed his saliva; his face turned from red to pale.
The anger in his heart, under the threat to his life,
gradually dissipated without a trace.
…
After the army of two thousand under Tao Ji’s command was taken control of,
Tao Ji, his deputy general,
and the town head Yue Jun,
all of them went back to the courtyard of the town head’s mansion.
“Yue Jun, long time no see, you really put on quite the show…”
“You gave me quite the scare right away.”
“Well, you really have some nerve!”
Inside the great hall of the town head’s mansion,
General Tao Ji, now out of his shiny silver armor,
was sitting quietly on a guest chair at this moment.
He was holding a cup of warm tea in his hands, continuously drinking it.
The deputy general beside Tao Ji was also drinking the warm tea next to him.
The journey had been hard and fraught with difficulties.
On the road, let alone proper food,
even clean drinking water was scarce.
“Tao Ji, what brings you to my Qingshi Town this time?”
Seeing that Tao Ji had gradually calmed down,
the town head Yue Jun, sitting in the main seat,
At this moment, he finally spoke.
“Naturally, it is to jointly manage the vast Qingshi Town with you.”
“You are aware of my capability.”
“We can divide the responsibilities clearly, you in charge of internal affairs, and I in charge of external affairs.”
“Yue Jun, what do you think?”
Tao Ji slightly grinned, the smile on his face somewhat icy as he spoke.
Of course, this was merely what Tao Ji claimed at the moment.
If the military power were all under his control, then he would surely adopt a different tone.
“To control Qingshi Town together with me?”
Upon hearing these words, Yue Jun sighed helplessly and slightly shook his head.
“What, you don’t want to?” Tao Ji’s eyes gradually narrowed.
His facial expression also slowly turned colder.
“It’s not that I am unwilling, but that I cannot…”
“What do you mean?” Tao Ji’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.
“Now that the New Emperor has ascended the throne, the Da Feng Dynasty’s princes are continuously waging war against each other.”
“Countless refugees, innumerable bandits.”
“Do you truly believe that the land of Qingshi Town can still be in these old hands of mine?”
Having said that, Yue Jun slowly stood up.
And before Tao Ji could recover from his astonishment.
A young-looking man silently walked out from behind.
He then brazenly seated himself in the seat of honor.
“Tao Ji… General?”
“I should be correct in addressing you this way, shouldn’t I?”
Luo Chuan watched Tao Ji before him and spoke softly.
“Who are you?”
Gazing at the young man before him, suspicion deepened in Tao Ji’s eyes.
“It seems that General Tao Ji has a short memory for important people.”
“Qingshi Town, son of the Luo Family Patriarch, Luo Chuan.”
“We should have met before.”
Luo Chuan spoke with a calm demeanor.
“Qingshi Town? The Luo Family?” Tao Ji pondered for a moment, and memories connected to the Luo Family of Qingshi Town gradually surfaced in his mind.
“One of the four major families of Qingshi Town, the Luo Family?”
“Then do you know what this place is?”
“Do you know the crime of occupying a town by oneself?”
“Even if the Da Feng Dynasty is in continuous chaos now, it’s not something the Luo Family can covet at will.”
“Qingshi Town, the Luo Family, are you seeking death?”
Tao Ji’s words became increasingly agitated, his voice growing louder and louder.
It seemed as if he intended to use his volume to drive away the young man before him.
However, he might have underestimated the young man’s capability and ruthlessness.
“General Tao Ji seems to be quite oblivious to the current situation!”
“Bring in a few people, let this general see clearly what the situation is.”
As Luo Chuan’s words fell.
Suddenly, several Bone Refinement Realm cultivators appeared in the room.
They clenched their fists and proceeded to unleash a barrage of beatings on Tao Ji.
“Qingshi Town is the land of the Da Feng Dynasty, what does it mean for your Luo Family to occupy it? If you hand it over now, I can ensure that your Luo Family won’t die!”
“Keep beating!!!”
“Your Luo Family is courting death…”
“Keep beating!!!”
“Your Luo Family will not die a good death, your entire Luo Family will be executed and dismembered by a thousand cuts…”
“Keep beating!!!”
“Luo Family, Luo Family…”
“Keep beating!!!”
“Wait, wait a moment…”
“Keep beating!!!”
Finally, after being beaten for a full three hours, to the point where he was barely recognizable,
Tao Ji ultimately gave in.
“Oh? Is there another person over there?”
“What do you have to say?”
The Deputy glanced at the general beside him who now looked akin to a pig’s head and couldn’t help but swallow his saliva. He then gave a thumbs-up with a forced smile, “Well beaten, well beaten, a person who doesn’t recognize his superiors deserves a good thrashing like this!!!”
