Chapter 669: Chapter 322: The Three Great Families of Dai Mountain City, Bound by Common Breath, Are as One Family_2
“`
Yes, the two young men before him were by no means ordinary.
This much was certain.
But a person is a person, and power is power.
Even if the forces behind these two young men were not weak.
Even if the identities of these two young men were extraordinary.
But so what?
In other places, Wei Qiankun might not dare to say, but in this Dai Mountain City, in his own stronghold, he had never feared anyone.
He truly didn’t believe that if these two were to die at his hands.
The powers behind them would, for the sake of these two, stand opposed to his Wei Family, let alone the entire Dai Mountain City.
Cultivators must not be insulted.
Especially those whose cultivation had reached a certain level, their dignity was worth its weight in gold, a veritable fortune.

“If that’s the case, there’s no need to continue talking.”
“Let’s do it!!!”
Wei Qiankun whispered.
The next moment, countless figures dressed in black, each emitting a chilling and deadly aura, appeared from various corners into everyone’s line of sight.
And they moved towards the Shadow Guards caught in the midst of slaughter.
Although the overall strength of the Shadow Guards was greater than that of the Shadows.
But there was no helping it; the number of Shadows was just too great.
Even using sheer numbers, they could easily wear down the Shadow Guards, whose own numbers didn’t even reach two hands’ worth.
“How about it?”
“Can that old man take care of it?”
Luo Yao saw the situation seemed to be getting progressively worse.
So, he put on a serious face.
And whispered to the Shadow Guard Commander by his side.
“Being at the same Organ Refinement Perfection Realm, killing him isn’t the problem.”
“But…”
As he spoke, the Shadow Guard’s words suddenly stopped.
Although he didn’t continue.
Luo Yao was already very clear about the Shadow Guard Commander’s meaning.
“Sigh…”
“Had I known this trip would turn out like this, I should have sought the protection of a Shadow Guard Commander from Patriarch Changfeng in advance.”
“Even if that wasn’t possible, to have more Shadow Guards follow by my side would’ve been better.”
“That way, I wouldn’t have ended up in a situation like this.”
He let out a slight sigh and shook his head.
Luo Yao then turned his gaze back to the people in front of him.
The crowd that had surrounded them.
Clearly, there were three types.
The first was the Chen Family, one of the three great families of Dai Mountain City.
The second was the Wei Family, the head of Dai Mountain City’s three great families.
As for the last party…
It seemed to be the Ma Family, one of Dai Mountain City’s three great families.
Look, there’s Ma Zhong, the current Family Head of the Ma Family.
Standing there as if watching a play.
The reason Luo Yao had such information.
Mainly because, upon his arrival in Dai Mountain City, he had already begun to understand the local powers.
Primarily, he was thinking.
To experiment within Dai Mountain City and to professionalize the brothels and gambling houses.
To control the opening rights of these two industries in his own hands.
Then, it was necessary to have some understanding and contact with the local powers.
Clearly, this was essential.
What Luo Yao hadn’t anticipated, however.
Was that he would meet these local powers of Dai Mountain City in such a manner.
“Brother, or perhaps…”
Just as Luo Yao was deep in thought.
Luo Ze, who was behind him, suddenly stepped forward, appearing to have something to say.
But before Luo Ze had a chance to speak.
Luo Yao interrupted him, cutting off his next words.
From the look on the young man’s face, Luo Yao could easily guess what he was about to say.
It was nothing more than offering himself to resolve the situation.
Then asking those clans within Dai Mountain City not to involve anyone else and so on.
But was there a need for that?
Obviously, there wasn’t.
The situation had not yet reached that level of desperation.
Who were they? They were from the Luo Family of Qingshi City.
How esteemed were their identities?
Was there a need to bow before these local powers?
To beseech these people for forgiveness?
Although revealing his identity would mean these local powers wouldn’t dare to do anything to him.
“`
But Luo Yao, as the heir to the Family Head of the Qingshi City Luo Family.
That status alone already forbade him from easily bowing to others.
The identity he held no longer simply represented himself.
It represented the entire Qingshi City Luo Family.
Shared glory, shared loss.
This was no joke.
“Must it be this way?”
After a moment of silence, Luo Yao suddenly looked up and said in a low voice to the Wei Family Elder Changfeng in front of him.
Wei Qiankun did not deign to consider Luo Yao’s words.
Let alone a normal exchange, even if the two young men in front of him bowed their heads, begged for mercy, or even knelt on the ground and pleaded bitterly.
He had no intention of easily sparing the two before his eyes.
“Fine then.”
Luo Yao shook his head.
He hadn’t planned to do this originally.
But under the pressing circumstances from the Wei and Chen Families, he had no choice.
Reluctantly, it seemed that Luo Yao had no choice but to resort to that one move.
“Ma Family’s… ”
“Ma Zhong, I’m talking about you, stop looking around.”
“Do you know who I am?”
“Do you know what my status is?”
Luo Yao shifted his gaze to Ma Zhong, the current Family Head of one of Dai Mountain City’s three major families, the Ma Family, who was standing by and enjoying the scene.
And Ma Zhong, as the current Family Head of the Ma Family,
suddenly found his name called out by Luo Yao.
Confusion and incomprehension flickered in his eyes.
“You… you know my status?”
Ma Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly, scrutinizing the young man before him who seemed somewhat extraordinary.
Attracting Ma Zhong’s attention,
Luo Yao smiled, then continued, “Whether I know your status or not is not important, the important question is whether you want your Ma Family to control Dai Mountain City all by yourselves?”
“Do you want to see the Ma Family of Dai Mountain City prosper and grow under your leadership?”
“Do you want to swallow up the influence of the Wei and Chen Families?”
“Do you want the Ma Family to be revered in Dai Mountain City in the days to come?”
Luo Yao’s words reached Ma Zhong’s ears, clear and distinct, the current Family Head of one of Dai Mountain City’s three major families.
Upon hearing Luo Yao’s words,
a hint of hesitation appeared in Ma Zhong’s eyes.
Of course, he desired those things Luo Yao mentioned.
He dreamed of them.
But the biggest question was, who the hell are you?
You say my Ma Family can prosper if you tell them to, and so they will?
You think that if you say the Ma Family will be revered in Dai Mountain City, it will simply happen?
Do you really think that the Wei Family, the head of the three major families of Dai Mountain City, and the Chen Family, one of the three, are pushovers?
Those two families are no trifling matter.
“Well, that, what…”
“What are you looking at me for?”
“Surely you don’t really believe that a few casual words from that kid could make me change my stance?”
“The three great families of Dai Mountain City: the Chen Family, the Wei Family, and my Ma Family.”
“How good are our relations?
“As close as branches on the same tree, almost like one family.”
“Your stance is my Ma Family’s stance. Such a position is absolutely unwavering, with no possibility of change.”
Ma Zhong, seeing many people at the scene turn their eyes to him,
thus spoke these words with fervent righteousness.
This was also a declaration of loyalty.
Mainly, not declaring loyalty was not an option.
Though there were three great families in Dai Mountain City,
the Wei and Chen Families had long been as one.
For his Ma Family to survive in this city and coexist peacefully with the Wei and Chen Families
was already difficult enough.
And this kid before him, he was close to death as it was,
and yet he still thought about, dragging someone down as a cushion before his demise.
He wanted to make his Ma Family the target of the Wei and Chen Families.
Such malice was indeed profound.
“Oh?”
“Ma Zhong, are you certain about that?”
Luo Yao looked at Ma Zhong before him, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.
Ma Zhong’s expression, however, remained resolutely firm as he declared loudly, “The three great families of Dai Mountain City are like branches on the same tree and have long been like one family. Very well, you need not say more to try and divide our three great families of Dai Mountain City.”
After Ma Zhong finished speaking, he took another look at Luo Yao.
He saw that smirk in Luo Yao’s eyes that wasn’t hidden in the slightest.
Suddenly, with a hint of curiosity, he asked in a low voice, “Exactly what is your status?”
