NOVEL NEXT Chapter 179: The Furious Feng Wumian, Plans Become _2
He could use this to express his benevolence.
But the Luo Family,
must die.
Moreover, it must be the kind where the entire clan is wiped out, not a single one spared.
...
In the dimly lit great hall,
just as Feng Wumian, quietly seated in the seat of honor, was about to stand and take a walk to stretch his legs,
there suddenly came a sound of footsteps from outside the hall.
The footsteps grew closer and closer.
Hearing this, Feng Wumian sat back down on the seat of honor inside the hall.
"Is it Zhong Yu?"
"Could it be that something else has happened?"
Feng Wumian squinted slightly, pondering silently in his mind.
However, as the footsteps drew nearer,
and as that figure entered the hall,
Feng Wumian realized,
the person before him was not his subject, Zhong Yu,
but rather his third brother Feng Wuyi, who was the first to fail and be eliminated in the competition among the three direct successors of the Royal Feng Family.
"My dear elder brother,"
"it seems your complexion looks somewhat unsightly..."
"What's wrong?"
"Could it be something unexpected has occurred?"
Feng Wuyi stood silently,
with a smile that was not quite a smile, he gazed at his brother Feng Wumian, who sat in silence on the seat of honor with an expressionless face.
"Here, you should call me your Imperial Brother,"
stated Feng Wumian with an icy tone, devoid of expression on his face.
Around him, gradually,
waves of the unique majestic aura of an Emperor began to radiate.
"Imperial Brother?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Wuyi couldn't help but snicker twice, then casually remarked, "If you say Imperial Brother, then it shall be Imperial Brother...
"My good Imperial Brother, the Luo Family, with their control over three prefectures, is not easy to deal with, right?"
"Even when they leave,
"they still create some last-minute trouble for you."
"Now, with significant losses of over three hundred thousand troops in a short period of time and low morale among the soldiers, assembling another effective offensive would be nothing short of a fool's dream."
"Coincidentally, during this period, our second brother's position in Qingcheng Prefecture is not yet secure."
"At this time, what do you plan to do, Imperial Brother?"
"What can you do next?"
"Just like this, watch helplessly as our second brother firmly takes control of Qingcheng Prefecture, and then slowly drives your forces out of the territory?"
As he spoke, the smile on Feng Wuyi's face became increasingly intense.
The mocking undertones in Feng Wuyi's words,
seemed to grow stronger as he went on.
"Right,
"unless I'm mistaken..."
"it was you who forcefully opened the gates to Qingcheng Prefecture, right?"
"You spent time and effort to force open the gates of Qingcheng Prefecture, yet all the benefits have been taken by our second brother, and you haven't gained even the slightest advantage."
"This is truly, somewhat sad..."
...
Feng Wuyi's words echoed throughout the great hall.
Every time Feng Wuyi finished speaking,
the face of Feng Wumian, seated in the seat of honor, would turn visibly uglier with each sentence.
The atmosphere in the hall became increasingly oppressive.
"Shut up, shut up, I told you to shut up..."
Eventually, Feng Wumian, seated in the seat of honor, couldn't bear it anymore.
He stood up, eyes red,
pointing at Feng Wuyi in front of him, he bellowed, "You're nothing but a loser, what right do you have to talk about me?"
Feng Wuyi laughed coldly, "A loser? Indeed, I am a loser, but how much better are you than me? The most powerful in the Da Feng Dynasty, in possession of two prefectures, and yet you find yourself in this predicament, continuously outwitted by the Luo Family, time and again. Tell me, how are you any better than me???"
Following Feng Wuyi's words,
the suppressed anger in Feng Wumian had been thoroughly ignited.
At this moment, he was like a barrel of gunpowder about to explode at any second.
He glared fiercely at Feng Wuyi before him,
as if he wanted to devour him alive.
Being an Emperor, how long had it been since anyone dared speak to him like this?
When people saw him, wouldn't they all show the utmost respect?
Some would even kneel and bow their heads.
And now, at this moment...
"My good Imperial Brother, what are you staring at me for, intending to do what?"
"Do you intend to make a move against me?"
"Dare you? I'm asking you, do you dare?"
Feng Wuyi said these words as he unabashedly walked towards where Feng Wumian was.
As a ruler, Feng Wuyi might have had many inadequacies.
But if he were solely a cultivator...
Feng Wuyi's cultivation and his innate potential were not inferior to Feng Wumian's.
Moreover, if a family wishes to exist for a long time,
the most taboo thing is fratricide within the clan.
Don't be fooled by the seemingly glorious appearance of Feng Wumian as the new Emperor of the Da Feng Dynasty.
But if he dares to assassinate a member of his own clan,
he would instantly be expelled from the Feng Family and no longer be part of the Royal Feng Family.
And this vast Da Feng Dynasty, in the end, would likely fall into the hands of Feng Wuyi's second brother.
...
In Luo Mountain Prefecture, Qingshi City, Luo Family Ancestral Land,
inside the room of the Luo Family Patriarch.
At this moment, Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family,
was sitting at the head seat as usual.
While drinking the tea in his hand, he dealt with the official documents at hand.
Of course, the way others dealt with documents
required writing out various methods of handling them in detail.
But for Luo Ping, the head of a family, dealing with documents only required writing the words "approve" or "reject."
"Hmm?"
"Is everything dealt with?"
Sitting at the head seat, Luo Ping silently read the details of the battle report while sipping his tea.
He couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
In this way, all the schemes unfolded completely in the direction intended by the Luo Family.
Weakening the strength of the new Emperor Feng Wumian's side,
enhancing the competitiveness of the forces belonging to Feng Wuhen.
To create an endless regional balance between Feng Wumian and Feng Wuhen.
This was the scenario originally envisioned by the Luo Family.
"Now, the three core competing forces of the Da Feng Dynasty are in a three-legged deadlock."
"Over in Jiangnan Prefecture, it seems they are still communicating with the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family."
"Wan Shan Prefecture's Xu Family is still eyeing the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family."
"Inside White Lotus Prefecture, the White Brahma Temple, one of the Three Great Demonic Forces of Buddhism, is immersed in developing itself."
"Looking at this situation..."
"For the next period, there should be a peaceful phase where every force is focused on their own development."
"As for the final battle..."
Thinking of this, Luo Ping couldn't help but quietly put down his tea cup.

He lifted his head and slightly narrowed his eyes,
gazing in the direction of White Lotus Prefecture.
"As for the final battle..."
"I suppose it will depend on the actions of the White Brahma Temple."
Luo Ping thought to himself.
...
In Luo Mountain Prefecture, Qingshi City, Luo Family Ancestral Land,
inside the small courtyard where the Ancestor of the Luo Family resided,
underneath a stone pavilion constructed from blue stone,
Luo Changfeng was currently fiddling with a somewhat special storage ring.
This storage ring was specifically for storing Spiritual Fire or Beast Fire.
Just a moment ago, people from the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect had brought over this special ring containing approximately five portions of Black Crow Flame.
Indeed, the Main Sect
had just recently given the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect permission to purchase Black Crow Flame during this period.
However, there was a limit to this.
The amount purchased could not exceed twenty portions in a year.
Now Luo Changfeng had bought five portions all at once.
Meaning that the amount of Black Crow Flame the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect could purchase for the rest of the year was only fifteen portions.
Considering he had to reserve ten portions of Black Crow Flame for the disciples of the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect...
By these calculations, the number of Black Crow Flames he could purchase for the rest of the year
was only five remaining portions.
Actually, it wasn't that the Main Sect of the Wan Dan Sect strictly limited the Sub-sect's ability to purchase Black Crow Flame.
Primarily, the limit was on buying one portion of Black Crow Flame for ten thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.
If one was willing to pay the original price, namely one hundred thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones for one portion,
then there was no limit on the amount that could be purchased.
But here's the prerequisite:
the Black Crow Flame stock at the Main Sect of the Wan Dan Sect had to be sufficient,
and one had to have enough Spirit Stones in hand.
Otherwise, if one did not have enough Spirit Stones, how could they apply to the Main Sect of the Wan Dan Sect to purchase the Yellow Grade, low-quality Beast Fire known as Black Crow Flame?
