Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood

The Ke Family, who had control over three prefectures, would also become a pampered pet of the Great Flame Dynasty.

And by that time, the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture would have completely lost their ability to act autonomously.

"Assistance beyond military strength?"

Inside the room, at the seat of honor.

Ke Xiaowen narrowed his eyes slightly, murmuring to himself as he silently gazed into the distance.

However, after a long period of contemplation,

he ultimately rejected the so-called help beyond military strength offered by the Great Flame Dynasty.

Perhaps, he wanted to try again?

Or maybe, he wanted to maintain the last bit of dignity and face that belonged solely to the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture.

...

Compared to the increasingly improving situation of the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture.

Deep within the Ke Family Ancestral Land,

there was a small courtyard overgrown with weeds that seemed uncared for.

Dressed in a blood red coat,

his face concealed behind a mask,

was Ke Chengsong of the Ke Family, exuding an eerie charm from his body.

At that moment, his emotions seemed somewhat complex.

Ke Chengsong had never anticipated the Ke Family embarking on the road to dominance, developing, and growing to what it was today,

even now possessing three prefectures.

This was also beyond the expectations of Ke Chengsong, the ancestor of the Ke Family.

Certainly, he had established the Ke Family, striving to reproduce and expand his lineage.

All of this was for his own sake.

Yet why... did things gradually, bit by bit, bit by bit, become what they were today?

"Now, the numbers of the Ke Family are still insufficient, far from enough..."

"To break through to Blood Cultivation Perfection and reach the last realm of the Five Realms of Mortality, Mortal Transcendence Realm."

"Perhaps it will still take some time..."

Musing silently in his heart,

Ke Chengsong, the ancestor of the Ke Family, then slowly disappeared within this mysterious courtyard.

...

The next day,

As the sky began to brighten,

at Luo Family Clan Land in Qingshi City of Luo Mountain Prefecture,

outside the room where the Luo Family Patriarch resided.

Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family, was holding a cup of tea, making his way toward the room.

It was visibly apparent that there was a hint of weariness on Luo Ping's face.

"Lately, the offenses by the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture just outside Wan Shan Prefecture seem to be growing more and more intense,"

Luo Ping said as he walked into the room,

speaking in a low voice to Lu Jun by his side.

"Indeed!" Lu Jun nodded silently before adding in a low voice, "After all, the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture has received help from the Great Flame Dynasty..."

Luo Ping walked on,

pausing as if a thought had struck him, then inquired softly, "I've heard that the Great Flame Dynasty also proposed to send military assistance to the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture. Do you think the Ke Family will agree?"

Having said that, Luo Ping suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He turned his head to look at Lu Jun by his side.

Luo Ping halted, and Lu Jun likewise came to a stop,

slightly squinting his eyes as he pondered the question Luo Ping had just raised.

"Support in terms of military strength?"

Lu Jun repeated the question,

and, after a moment of silence,

he lifted his head to look at Luo Ping and spoke quietly, "The Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture will probably not agree, will they?"

"Resources are one thing,"

"but if the military forces of the Great Flame Dynasty were to enter the territory of the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture,"

"then would the three prefectures under the Ke Family's command truly belong to them or to the Great Flame Dynasty?"

While speaking,

Lu Jun couldn't help but shake his head with a smile after a moment: "However, even if the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture is not keen on it, it seems that in the end, they will still have to let the troops of the Great Flame Dynasty in. The Dynasty wishes to settle internal chaos and extend its reach into the Da Feng Dynasty; their aspirations and desires are certainly not limited to just this..."

Luo Ping, hearing this, nodded silently.

Lu Jun's words indeed made some sense.

To surrender autonomy and allow the Great Flame Dynasty's forces to enter their territory, gradually allowing the Dynasty to preside over the three prefectures under the Ke Family's command.

The Ke Family naturally would be reluctant.

But even if the Ke Family was unwilling, what could be done?

Does the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture still have a choice in their current situation?

After receiving the first wave of support from the Great Flame Dynasty,

the situation of the Ke Family had indeed improved a lot compared to before.

However, if subsequently the Ke Family displeased the Great Flame Dynasty and they directly cut off the aid for the Ke Family,

wouldn't the Ke Family still be doomed?

"Since that's the case,"

"after the Great Flame Dynasty's forces enter Ke Family territory,"

"we will also need to slightly strengthen the defensive capabilities on our side, especially towards Wan Shan Prefecture,"

"The only question is, will Feng Wumian seize this opportunity to make a move against us, the Luo Family as well?"

"If Feng Wumian, Feng Wuhen, the Ke Family and that Great Flame Dynasty, these four powers attack us at the same time,"

"things really could become troublesome..."

...

A moment later,

Luo Ping, the current Luo Family Patriarch,

had already entered the room carrying a cup of hot tea in his hand.

Deep within the Luo Family Ancestral Land,

inside a small courtyard that exuded an ancient charm,

Luo Changfeng, at that moment, stood silently with his hands clasped behind his back, beside a spirit field that he had poured countless efforts into.

"Oh?"

"This thing, it's actually a tree?"

Luo Changfeng was looking at the very center of the spirit field, at a mysterious little tree that seemed like it had been shrunk countless times and was only about the size of a palm,

but it was somewhat different from ordinary trees,

sending out waves of green spiritual energy and life force all around it at all times.

His eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly.

"Interesting..."

"I wonder what this mysterious little tree will look like once it grows..."

Luo Changfeng thought silently to himself.

However, just a brief moment later,

he shifted his gaze away, and instead looked towards the direction of White Lotus Prefecture.

Things had been fine before,

but as time passed, in the past three months, the demonic monks within White Brahma Temple seemed to be growing increasingly active.

If it were anywhere else, that would have been fine.

But the monks from White Brahma Temple had even dared to step into Luo Family land.

Of course, as soon as the monks from White Brahma Temple set foot into Luo Family land,

they were captured by the Shadow Guard and taken into custody.

They hadn't been killed yet, mainly because Luo Changfeng was curious.

What exactly did those monks from White Brahma Temple want to accomplish with their activities in various places?

"Come here..."

In the small courtyard,

after Luo Changfeng walked to the Stone Pavilion,

he called softly to the empty space beside him.

Following the sound of his voice, a young figure dressed in black, gradually appeared beside him.

The youth, called Abyss, had already reached the level of Viscera Refinement Perfection,

and it seemed he wasn't far from the Blood Cultivation Realm, which sat just above Viscera Refinement Perfection.

"Bring him out..."

Luo Changfeng glanced at the youth known as Abyss and spoke softly.

"Yes,"

Abyss nodded slightly.

Afterward, he slowly vanished beside Luo Changfeng.

At that moment, a refreshing breeze suddenly brushed past.

Quietly striking Luo Changfeng's face,

it made him comfortably narrow his eyes.

Just as he was about to close his eyes to savor the feeling of the breeze on his face,

Abyss, who had disappeared, suddenly reappeared beside him.

And with Abyss's return, an old monk dressed in a white robe embroidered with lotus flowers,

appeared in Luo Changfeng's view at that moment.

Of course, on the old monk's person,

aside from the robe embroidered with white lotuses,

there were also shackles of millennium Xuan iron that flickered with cold light, extremely heavy and incredibly sturdy.

"Amitabha, well said, well said..."

"Benefactor, you and Buddha are fated,"

"Would you be willing to embrace Buddhism and save countless souls that are still struggling in this world?"
