Chapter 354 Benefits and sacrifices?
Evening
The sun sets.
The afterglow of the setting sun swayed over this land.
Such a situation adds a different kind of beauty to this land.
"You said."
"Then what on earth are the Feng family of the Gale Dynasty thinking?"
"Suddenly they took action against our Luo family in Qingshi City."
"Logically speaking, the best time for the Feng family, the royal family of the Gale Dynasty, to take action was during the period of cooperation with the Yan family, the royal family of the Great Yan Dynasty."
“What’s surprising is that.”
"The Feng family, the royal family of the Great Wind Dynasty, actually watched the fall of the Yan family, the royal family of the Great Yan Dynasty."
"And the territory and resources of the royal Yan family have been almost completely wiped out by our Luo family and the Baifan Temple in the Bailian Mansion."
"The Dafeng Dynasty and the Feng family suddenly made a move on us."
"I don't know what gave the royal family the confidence to do so."
Bluestone City, the land of the Luo family.
In an open space that no one passes through all year round.
Next to a giant tree that is hundreds of meters tall and has existed for at least hundreds of years.
Luo Yao is the next heir to the Luo family in Qingshi City.
As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.
And the young man who was standing in the open space, with his muscular upper body exposed, was holding a long sword and waving it constantly.
After listening to these non-stop complaints.
He slowly stopped practicing his sword.
He put the long sword in his hand back into its scabbard.
He casually picked up a special spiritual weapon gourd filled with water.
He raised his head and started drinking.
The boy drank several sips of water and rested for a short period of time.
The young man then slowly walked step by step in the direction of Luo Yao.
And Luo Yao was concerned about such a scene.
He still didn't stop talking.
Instead, he talked more and more.
"And there is."
"Our Qingshi City Luo family actually has several family forces, and they directly chose to side with the Feng family, the royal family of the Gale Dynasty."
"Even, because of the actions of those family forces."
"Several cities were therefore occupied by the Feng family, the royal family of the Gale Dynasty."
"Although, the loss of those cities does not affect the real overall situation."
"But when this kind of thing happens, it will still make people feel a little bit uncomfortable, a little bit uncomfortable."
"Aze, do you think so?"
Luo Yao raised his head silently. He looked at the young Luo Ze in front of him with a helpless expression. He kept sighing in a low voice.
"Under such circumstances, is there any family power that would turn to the Gale Dynasty?"
When young Luo Ze heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
After he thought for a moment, he couldn't help but whisper: "Perhaps those family forces have never thought of surrendering to our Luo family in Qingshi City?"
"But before, the reason why they chose to surrender to us was just because they were forced to have no choice."
"Now, the Feng family, the royal family of the Gale Dynasty, has chosen to attack our Luo family in Qingshi City."
"The actions of those forces are understandable."
"After all, no matter what."
"The Feng family, the royal family of the Gale Dynasty, has finally controlled the powerful family power of the Gale Dynasty for more than a thousand years. Its profound foundation is far beyond what other family powers can match."
"Its deterrence, its influence."
"Obviously it is not comparable to what our Qingshi City Luo family can compare with at this stage."
Luo Ze said calmly.
Luo Yao nodded silently after hearing these words.
This could be regarded as his approval of what Luo Ze said.
But even if that's the case.
After something like this happens, it will still be a little depressing and uncomfortable.
"Say, what if we invite the shadow guard in the hands of our ancestors?"
"Then, how about killing the chicken to scare the monkey?"
Luo Ze did not answer immediately.
He just narrowed his eyes slightly.
It seemed that he was thinking about the feasibility of what Luo Yao said.
"Alas"
After some time again.
Luo Ze couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Although, this kind of thing is a bit cruel.
But now that things have escalated to the confrontation between the two family forces.
Some things seem to have to be done.
"Killing chickens to scare monkeys is feasible."
“I just don’t know what ancestor Changfeng thinks”
When Luo Yao heard this title, he couldn't help being a little stunned.
Ancestor Changfeng?
Yes, if he really wants to invite the group of forces called Shadow Guards in the hands of ancestor Changfeng.
It seemed that he really wanted to ask ancestor Changfeng for his opinion.
So, before that.
He still needs to go to the small courtyard where ancestor Changfeng lived and take a short walk.
But, that would be fine if it were somewhere else.
But what if it was the small courtyard of Changfeng ancestor.
The situation is somewhat different.
After all, as the ancestor of the Luo family, the shadow that Luo Changfeng left in Luo Yao's heart was a bit exaggerated.
So, under normal circumstances.
Unless he was really forced to do so, Luo Yao would never take the initiative to go to his ancestral home.
Take the initiative to find Ancestor Changfeng.
Aren't you asking for trouble like this?
Forget it, forget it.
Just forget it.
Be patient for a while, the sea will be calm, take a step back, the sea and the sky will be brighter.
Besides, the current head of the Luo family in Bluestone City is Luo Ping, not Luo Yao.
He, Luo Yao, is just the next heir to the Luo family in Bluestone City.
Heir, heir.
In other words, someone who has not yet succeeded as the head of the family.
In this case, why is he still worrying about this?
With the head of the family, Luo Ping, standing in front of him, why should he make himself so unhappy?
"Brother Ze, you continue to practice your sword."
"I'm going out to relax."
After thinking of this, the sadness on Luo Yao's face disappeared.
He even thought about it while there were not too many things going on at this moment.
Get out for a little bit, walk around, do some shopping.
Otherwise, wait until the Luo family of Qingshi City completely collides with the Feng family, the royal family of the Gale Dynasty.
He wanted to go out for a walk and go shopping again.
Live a leisurely life.
This is probably a bit difficult. "Go for a walk? Relax?"
Luo Ze looked at Luo Yao's retreating figure and couldn't help but frown slightly.
There was a look of doubt in his eyes.
What does this mean?
Wasn't Luo Yao still looking sad just now?
Weren't you just talking about killing chickens to scare monkeys or something?
Why is it suddenly like this now?
It's like being light-hearted when nothing happens?
Strange, very strange.
But it doesn’t matter
Anyway, Luo Ze is just an ordinary member of the Luo family in Bluestone City.
Therefore, he only needs to do what he should do.
And what he needs to do is to keep practicing his sword, keep practicing.
Of course, if the family needs his power.
Naturally, he would take action for the sake of his family.
However, under normal circumstances.
If the time really comes, the family needs the power of an ordinary practitioner like him.
The Luo family of Bluestone City is probably at the critical moment of life and death, and may fall completely at any time.
In the blink of an eye, three more days passed.
Bluestone City, deep inside the Luo family.
A small courtyard that always exudes an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
Under a stone pavilion that looks a bit unremarkable, but actually contains something wonderful.
Luo Changfeng is the ancestor of the Luo family in Bluestone City.
He was sitting silently on a stone bench.
On his left hand, he held a cup of hot tea.
On his right hand, he is holding a booklet of various information that looks somewhat similar to government affairs, and he is constantly flipping through it in detail.
"Brother Luo."
"The old monk in Baifan Temple seems to have left."
Under the stone pavilion.
In front of Luo Changfeng.
The old guy Fu Qiu is the current deputy sect leader of the Wandan Sect branch.
He also drank hot tea and whispered to Luo Changfeng in front of him.
"Oh?"
"The old monk in the Mortal Realm in Baifan Temple has left?"
"Are you planning to hand over that floating boat?"
Luo Changfeng lowered his head slightly and murmured in a low voice.
Fu Qiu didn't pay too much attention to what his brother Luo was mumbling.
With his old face, he said with a slightly excited look: "Brother Luo, if our information is not wrong, then there should be only one person in the Mortal Realm in Baifan Temple in Bailian Mansion, and since The only Shifan in Baifan Temple has left. How about we eradicate Baifan Temple directly and take control of Bailian Mansion. ”
"In this way, brother Luo, when your Bluestone City Luo family collides with the Feng family of the Gale Dynasty royal family, you won't have to guard against the backstab of the Baifan Temple behind you."
"Brother Luo, what do you think?"
When Luo Changfeng heard these words, he did not respond immediately.
He just lowered his head silently.
His eyes were slightly squinted, and he was thinking calmly about the feasibility of what the old guy Fu Qiu just said.
In the Baifan Temple within the Bailian Mansion, there was only one person who became mortal.
This matter has been decided for sure.
And with that, the only mortal in Baifan Temple in Bailian Mansion left the place of Bailian Mansion.
Today's Bailian Mansion has become a territory that can be taken at will.
As long as he wanted to, he could easily take down the White Lotus Mansion.
But, if he really does it.
We really took down the Bailian Mansion.
What will happen next?
Are the benefits he receives commensurate with the price he pays?
In other words, the benefits outweigh the costs.
It was not impossible for him and the old guy Fu Qiu to directly take over the Bailian Mansion.
But if so, the payment is far greater than the benefit.
Then, there is no need to get the land of Bailian Mansion in hand.
"Today, the collision between the Wandan Sect and the Shendan Sect is in full swing."
"The Bai family members of the Wandan Sect's main sect also died at the hands of the Baifan Temple in the Bailian Mansion."
"During this period of time, we want to capture the White Lotus Mansion."
"This is not a particularly difficult thing. It can even be said that it is very easy."
"But, have you ever thought about it?"
"If it is at this time, we will destroy the Baifan Temple and take the White Lotus Mansion into our hands."
"What can we gain?"
"The place of Bailian Mansion that has been riddled with holes by Baifan Temple?"
"Or, in other words, those ordinary people who have been dominated by the evil Bai Fanlian?"
"Or is it the Bailian Mansion that has been transformed beyond recognition by the most evil Bai Fanlian?"
Talking and talking.
Luo Changfeng suddenly stopped.
He silently picked up the cup of hot tea in his hand.
Until he drank the cup of hot tea in his hand.
He then looked at the old guy in front of him, Fu Qiu, and whispered: "Sometimes, people can't just see the immediate interests. We need to take a longer-term view."
"Yes, we will indeed gain some benefits by taking over the White Lotus Mansion."
"The territory under our command will indeed improve a lot."
“But compared to the price you may have to pay later.”
"Such a small amount of income is obviously not enough."
"Instead, you and I used all our strength to overthrow the Baifan Temple in the Bailian Mansion, as well as the Feng Family of the Gale Dynasty who suddenly attacked the Luo Family of Bluestone City."
"It would be better for us to coexist with those two forces for a while."
"Until, until our strength reaches a certain level."
"Isn't it a better choice to destroy those two forces in one fell swoop?"
Luo Changfeng's words were very long.
Even others may feel a little confused.
However, sitting quietly in front of Luo Changfeng is the current deputy sect leader of the Wandan Sect branch.
Fu Qiu has always been extremely cunning and cautious.
But he could easily understand what Luo Changfeng said.
On this Xuanyuan Continent, the relationship between forces is nothing more than profit.
When the benefits are sufficient, even betrayal is okay.
But if so, when the benefits are insufficient.
In a situation where the benefits are far outweighed by the price one has to pay.
Some things, even if they can be done, can even be done easily.
But still don't do it, it will be much better.
For example, the current three forces of the Luo Family of Bluestone City, Baifan Temple, and the Feng Family of the Royal Family of the Gale Dynasty.
These three parties have formed a somewhat delicate balance on this land.
The balance here refers to the balance in the eyes of other forces.
If this kind of balance can be maintained forever, it will be fine.
But if so, any force will break this balance.
It even swallowed up the other two forces.
Then, among the three forces, the only remaining one will inevitably appear in the sight of other more powerful forces.
It is not completely impossible to gradually be feared and remembered by other forces.
