Luo Ping raised an eyebrow, then asked, "Different? How so? And what exactly entails this cooperation?"
With a slight sigh, Lu Jun responded somewhat helplessly in a low voice, "Roughly, about half a year ago, the Crown Prince of the Da Feng Dynasty joined an Immortal Sect hidden deep within the mountains, and was even favored by a Supreme Elder of that Sect.
Adding to that, the current Emperor of the Da Feng Dynasty is willing to serve the secluded Immortal Sect by routinely offering up a vast number of Spirit Stones and a variety of resources every year."
"Consequently, the Da Feng Dynasty began its rapid rise."
"In just under a month's time, they quelled all chaos within their borders."
"Afterwards, they gradually started to earnestly develop their overall strength."
"By now, the Da Feng Dynasty probably feels that its own development has reached a bottleneck, so they wish to make a move on our Da Feng Dynasty, which is still in a state of disarray."
"As for what the cooperation entails..."
"The envoy from the Da Feng Dynasty said they were only willing to discuss it when you are present."
...
The words of Lu Jun,
echoed slowly in a room filled with many people.
Seated in the main seat, Luo Ping's brows slightly furrowed upon hearing these words.
In his eyes, a flash of concern briefly appeared.
If it were merely the struggles within the Da Feng Dynasty,
he was absolutely certain that his Luo Family would emerge victorious in the end.
However, if in the midst of the Da Feng Dynasty's struggles,
external variables were added into the equation,
what would the outcome be?
Even as the current Family Head of the Luo Family, Luo Ping could not be sure.
"Tsk..."
With his head slightly lowered and after a long stretch of silence,
Luo Ping couldn't help but click his tongue in some resignation.
The matters at hand seemed to be getting increasingly complicated.
The involvement of White Brahma Temple from White Lotus Prefecture, one of the Three Great Demonic Forces of Buddhism, was already enough to give Luo Ping a headache.
And now there was the Da Feng Dynasty backed by an Immortal Sect to contend with...
Problem after problem just kept cropping up!
"If the Great Flame Dynasty wishes to get involved, they wouldn't merely send an envoy to negotiate with our Luo Family's side, right?" Luo Ping speculated and then quietly inquired of Lu Jun beside him after a moment's thought.
This time, Lu Jun simply nodded silently without uttering a word.
"Has the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family been approached as well?" Luo Ping asked again, somewhat surprised.
Lu Jun spoke softly, "They have. The envoy from the Great Flame Dynasty even mentioned that if the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family was willing to pay a sufficient price, the Great Flame Dynasty would become the Ke Family's strongest ally, assisting them out of their current encircled situation.
Even in the face of the White Brahma Temple, one of the Three Great Demonic Forces of Buddhism, the Great Flame Dynasty would not fear."
Of course, the reason the Great Flame Dynasty is not afraid of the White Brahma Temple,
is mainly because of the Immortal Sect supporting them from behind.
Thus, the backbone of the Great Flame Dynasty is much sturdier than many other forces.
Without that Immortal Sect's support, not only would the Great Flame Dynasty struggle to be involved in the chaos of the Da Feng Dynasty, but quelling the chaos within their own borders would also become incredibly challenging.
"Has the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family agreed?" inquired Luo Ping within the room.
Lu Jun responded softly, "Whether they have agreed or not is unknown to anyone. However, if one were to speculate, it would be easy to reach a conclusion. The Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family has no choice but to accept the conditions of the Great Flame Dynasty. As for who the Great Flame Dynasty ultimately chooses to ally with, that decision is not up to us..."
Listening to these words,
Luo Ping slightly squinted his eyes in contemplation while his right hand rested on the wooden table, gently tapping it. Read exclusive chapters at empire
After a long period of thought, he seemed to have an idea,
and again spoke to Lu Jun beside him in a low voice, "Do you know the name of the Immortal Sect behind the Great Flame Dynasty? And what is the strength of that Sect?"
This time, Lu Jun shook his head in silence, "I am not clear about its strength, but the name of that Sect seems to be Five Elements Sect..."
Inside the room, Luo Ping looked up and silently stared into the distance,
muttering to himself, "Five Elements Sect?"
After repeating it, he shook his head.
He had never heard of this Five Elements Sect.
And that was perfectly normal.
The expanse of Dong Huang Divine State was boundless, and naturally, he could not be expected to have heard of every Immortal Sect Power out there.
...
After speaking with Lu Jun,
Luo Ping, the current Head of the Luo Family,
silently stood up, his hands clasped behind his back, and walked out of the room.
He planned to first head to the guest hall.
To meet with the envoy from the Great Flame Dynasty.
To see what exactly the Great Flame Dynasty wanted to cooperate on with their Luo Family.
...
Before long,
Luo Ping arrived at the guest hall within the Luo Family Ancestral Land.
And in the midst of the Luo Family Ancestral Land,
within a courtyard that emanated an aura of mystery and antiquity,
there sat Patriarch Luo Changfeng of the Luo Family, calmly sipping tea under the Stone Pavilion.
At this moment, he slightly raised his head,
casting his gaze in the direction of the Luo Family Ancestral Land, towards where the guest hall was located.
He, of course, already knew about the matters concerning the Great Flame Dynasty.
Even the Immortal Sect Power hidden behind the Great Flame Dynasty was not a mystery to him.
Its name seemed to be something like Five Elements Sect, an Immortal Sect Power.
Established, roughly, ten thousand years ago.
When compared to most Immortal Sects, its existence was not so long.
Its overall strength was probably among the lower levels of those of most Immortal Sects.
Its highest level of cultivation seemed to be just above Mortal Transcendence, the first major realm of the Immortal Realm, Gathering Spirit.
As for cultivators in the Mortal Transcendence Realm,
he guessed there were no more than three.
Yet even so, the Five Elements Sect could still claim kingship and dominate the world of mortal cultivators.
"The Great Flame Dynasty..."
"One of the Immortal Sects, the Five Elements Sect..."
"The variable, after all, has appeared..."
In the courtyard, beneath the Stone Pavilion,
Patriarch Luo Changfeng murmured quietly with a calm expression.
However, there was no need for him to be overly flustered.
The Five Elements Sect, after all, is an Immortal Sect.
The primary purpose of an Immortal Sect's existence is to cultivate, to seek immortality, to pursue the Great Dao, until becoming a true Immortal.
As for the Great Flame Dynasty?
It's nothing more than an insignificant vassal under the command of the Five Elements Sect.
And the struggle within the Da Feng Dynasty?
To the Five Elements Sect, that's just minor squabbles among mortals.
It's not likely that for a mere internal struggle within the Da Feng Dynasty,
that the only Supreme Elder of the Five Elements Sect who has stepped into the Gathering Spirit realm would choose to intervene, right?
Such a thing is unlikely to happen.
After all, even the Gathering Spirit realm is but the first step beyond the mortal and just entering the Immortal Realm.
Cultivators in the Gathering Spirit realm still have extremely limited lifespans.
Therefore, for that Supreme Elder of the Five Elements Sect,
rather than helping the Great Flame Dynasty expand its territory, it would be better to spend time in secluded cultivation, striving to enhance their power and break through their current realm.
Unless, the Five Elements Sect really faced an existential crisis,
those old monsters would definitely not choose to make an appearance.
"Although, the emergence of the Great Flame Dynasty adds a touch of uncertainty to the Da Feng Dynasty,"
"the overall direction of events is unlikely to change much."
"Even if there are some unfavorable changes,"
"at worst, I will intervene to redirect the course..."
