Chapter 697: Inspection by the Main Sect of Wan Dan Sect? 2

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

The figure clad in black slightly bowed his head, his expression one of utmost respect as he replied, “The Young Family Head said that there are still some loose ends that need to be tied up, which will probably need…”

At this point, the black-clad figure seemed somewhat hesitant.

He seemed unsure whether or not to disclose the timeline.

“How much longer will it take?”

Luo Yao’s brows couldn’t help but slightly furrow as a somewhat unpleasant premonition rose in his heart.

The figure in black was silent for a moment.

However, eventually, he still conveyed the timeline that the Young Family Head had mentioned to him.

“Approximately… one month.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Ping was first slightly stunned, and then he found it hard to control his emotions, “What did you say? A month???”

“Was this said by that brat, Luo Yao?”

The figure clad in black silently nodded his head.

“A month is too long.” After taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly, trying as much as possible to remain calm, Luo Ping coldly said to the figure before him, “At most, I’ll give that kid another seven days. Tell him to come back within seven days, or else… let him face the consequences!!!”

The figure in black silently nodded again.

Then, he slowly vanished from the room.

Disappearing from the vision of everyone present.

“Sigh…”

As the black-clad figure fully disappeared,

someone in the room couldn’t help but sigh softly.

Truth be told, Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family, had been in rather good spirits during this period.

After all, the Great Flame Dynasty had fallen.

The Qingshi City Luo Family had annexed a vast expanse of the Great Flame Dynasty’s territory and a large number of the resources they had gathered.

This effectively greatly increased the resource stockpile of the Qingshi City Luo Family.

However, whenever the matter concerned Luo Yao,

Or whenever someone mentioned Luo Yao,

Their esteemed Family Head would, as if turning into another person, not only become extremely irritable but also drastically change his style of conduct.

And at such times, people in the think tank would often dare not touch upon this touchy subject.

With their own matters still unresolved,

Who would dare to provoke a Qingshi City Luo Family current Family Head in such a foul mood?

…

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

At this moment, it was high noon.

A fierce sun hung high in the sky.

The scorching sunlight poured down evenly upon this land.

The heat was sweeping across the earth,

Making countless people living on this continent furrow their brows.

If not absolutely necessary,

Under normal circumstances, no one would choose to work outside in such conditions.

…

Da Feng Dynasty, Luo Mountain Prefecture.

Deep within the Luo Family Ancestral Land of Qingshi City,

Inside a courtyard emitting an aura of age and mystery,

Underneath a stone pavilion constructed from ordinary bluestone, which seemed to have seen many years,

Luo Changfeng, the Ancestor of the Luo Family, was sitting silently.

He was idly chatting with the old man before him while sipping the now cold tea in his hand.

“Are you saying that the Main Sect plans to send someone for an inspection to the Sub-sect?” Luo Changfeng inquired in a low voice to the old man before him, Fu Qiu.

After taking a sip from his tea to moisten his throat, Fu Qiu replied with some helplessness, “It seems so. As for why the Main Sect is sending someone for an inspection, I’m not quite sure of the reason. What I do know is that not only is our Sub-sect being inspected; the Main Sect has basically arranged for inspections in other Wan Dan Sect Sub-sects too.”

“Unless, of course, it’s a Sub-sect so weak that it can be ignored. Generally, those with some degree of strength will have inspectors arranged by the Main Sect.”

Luo Changfeng listened to these words.

After silently nodding, he narrowed his eyes.

At this moment, he was pondering some questions relating to this matter.

Originally, due to the interventions of the Shou Family, one of the Alchemist Families from Nanhuang Divine State,

There had indeed been a period of peace between Wan Dan Sect and Divine Elixir Sect.

But as time passed and as frictions between the two Alchemist powers increased,

The clash between the Wan Dan Sect and the Divine Elixir Sect began to unfold once more.

This time, people from the Main Sect of the Wan Dan Sect were dispatched to inspect each sub-sect.

Luo Changfeng estimated that the clash between the Wan Dan Sect and the Divine Elixir Sect may have reached an intense stage.

That’s why the Main Sect had such an action.

The Main Sect was probably afraid that their sub-sects would gradually lean towards the Divine Elixir Sect.

A couple of Wan Dan Sect sub-sects quietly choosing to side with the Divine Elixir Sect wasn’t really a big issue.

But if a large number and wide reach of Wan Dan Sect sub-sects were attracted over to the Divine Elixir Sect,

the situation afterward would be quite troublesome for the Wan Dan Sect.

“Do you know when people from the Main Sect will arrive?”

After pondering for a moment, Luo Changfeng asked the old man, Fu Qiu, in front of him in a low voice.

After thinking it over, Fu Qiu replied, “When they will arrive is not certain, but it should be in the near future…”

Luo Changfeng listened to this.

He couldn’t help but fall silent.

After a moment of silence, Luo Changfeng shook his head to himself.

His expression gradually regained its initial calm.

Forget it, forget it.

Since things had come to this, he could only choose to face them calmly.

After all, it was people from the Main Sect of the Wan Dan Sect coming to inspect.

Basically, as long as his sub-sect did not directly defect and choose to side with the Divine Elixir Sect,

the Main Sect of the Wan Dan Sect probably wouldn’t really do anything to them.

At times like this, though the Main Sect was strong,

the support of the sub-sects was still an essential factor if they wanted to compete with the Divine Elixir Sect.

“You can go back later,”

“As for the people from the Main Sect of the Wan Dan Sect…”

“If they come, just deal with them normally.”

“Surely, the people from the Main Sect wouldn’t unreasonably act against us, would they?”

Luo Changfeng said calmly.

Sitting still in the Stone Pavilion, opposite Luo Changfeng,

was Fu Qiu, the current Deputy Sect Master of the Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect in the Da Feng Dynasty. He could only silently nod to Luo Changfeng’s words.

At this point, it seemed there was no other choice.

They would have to wait and see.

See what exactly the people sent by the Main Sect of the Wan Dan Sect wanted.

If they came without causing trouble, they would be allowed to stay in the sub-sect.

But if they tried to exploit their sub-sect…

then they would simply find an opportunity to discreetly dispose of the envoy from the Main Sect.

At such a critical juncture, the Main Sect could afford a few deaths.

This should not draw too much attention from the Main Sect.

After all,

the real enemy and rival for the Main Sect of the Wan Dan Sect right now is still the Divine Elixir Sect.

As for the sub-sects of the Wan Dan Sect within the Great Da Feng Dynasty,

they are but existences as insignificant as ants.

They would not draw much notice from the Main Sect of the Wan Dan Sect.

…

Soon after,

Fu Qiu, the old fellow and Deputy Sect Master of the Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect in the Da Feng Dynasty, disappeared within this mysterious courtyard.

And in that courtyard, under the Stone Pavilion,

sat Luo Changfeng, the Ancestor of the Luo Family.

At this moment, he was slightly squinting his eyes,

drinking the tea in his hand and silently gazing into the distance with apparent interest.

It seemed as if he was contemplating something.

After thinking for a while, Luo Changfeng silently shook his head.

Then, he directly took out a sky-float boat from his storage ring. It was about the size of a palm

and looked somewhat immature and unripe.

“It should… be about time, right?”
