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

...

After the Miao Family decided to abandon their assault on Changli Prefecture,

the pressure on the Miao Family in Chenguan Prefecture

suddenly decreased a great deal.

Countless provisions and supplies,

that were initially transported towards the border of Changli Prefecture,

were now redirected towards the cities under attack by the Luo Family’s army.

A large number of new troops conscripted by the Miao Family

was also being transported towards the frontlines of the war against the Luo Family’s army.

It seemed that all this was merely done to delay the inevitable by a slight margin.

... Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Time flew swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

In the early morning, when the sky was not yet fully bright

and the surrounding mist was still somewhat thick,

in Qingshi City, within the Luo Family Ancestral Land,

inside the room where the Luo Family Patriarch resided,

Luo Ping had already woken up early.

He sat in the chief seat, leisurely sipping tea while quietly reading the information sent by Luo Yong.

As for the troublesome matters listed in the reports?

Those were now naturally handled by the people in front of Luo Ping.

At most, he would write "yes" or "no."

Writing such responses was already the limit.

Any more than that was not feasible.

...

In the room, upon the chief seat,

Luo Ping held the battle report in his hand with a fairly calm expression.

As he read, he suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Oh?"

"The Miao Family in Chenguan Prefecture has actually decided to give up attacking Changli Prefecture?"

"And even mobilized back the more than five hundred thousand elite armored troops that were stationed at the border of Changli Prefecture?"

"All the provisions and supplies are also being transported towards the cities currently under attack by our Luo Family’s army?"

Upon reading this,

a knowing smile appeared on the tranquil face of Luo Ping.

A look of satisfaction also flashed through his eyes.

Oh Miao Family, you have today as well?

When you snatched food from the mouth of the Luo Family, you should have expected this day, should you not?

This time, the Miao Family in Chenguan Prefecture has truly lost both their wife and soldiers.

Not only have they lost a county’s territory within Changping Prefecture,

but even the threshold to their own home base in Chenguan Prefecture has been forcefully opened by the Luo Family.

More than twenty cities, with a combined area nearly equal to that of a county’s territory,

are now likewise under the control of the Luo Family.

Even if they now plan to give up the attack on Changli Prefecture,

and call back the elite army amassed at the border of Changli Prefecture,

I am afraid it is a bit too late.

"Family Head..."

Just as Luo Ping was secretly enjoying the situation,

the man sitting close by his side, dressed in a light blue robe,

a middle-aged man with an elegant appearance,

suddenly stood up.

He bowed slightly towards Luo Ping, seated on the chief seat, and spoke with a respectful tone,

"What is it?"

Luo Ping glanced at the middle-aged man beside him, who seemed to be called Fang Chaowu, and asked in a low voice.

"Family Head, in Chenguan Prefecture, a force from the Fang Family has approached me, suggesting they can help us, the Luo Family, to quickly capture two more counties in Chenguan Prefecture..."

Fang Chaowu said calmly, with his head slightly bowed.

"Oh?"

Luo Ping’s interest was piqued upon hearing this, and he asked in a low voice, "A force from Chenguan Prefecture? Please elaborate..."

Fang Chaowu nodded slightly,

and then glanced at his colleagues nearby, whose eyes betrayed a hint of jealousy and animosity.

He could not help but let a faint smile form at the corner of his mouth,

and then he continued speaking in a calm tone.

"Although the Miao Family is predominantly in control of Chenguan Prefecture,

"in Chenghua County and Upper City County within Chenguan Prefecture,

"the Wu Family’s power is also considerable."

"However, due to the Miao Family’s dominant position, the Wu Family has always remained dormant."

"Now that the Wu Family has learned that our Luo Family has forced its way into Chenguan Prefecture and even occupied territories nearly the size of a county,

"they have reached out to me, expressing their willingness to lend a helping hand to our Luo Family."

...

The words of Fang Chaowu echoed slowly within the room.

The rest, upon hearing his words, fell into a thoughtful silence,

except for one individual, who, after hearing this, spoke with a sarcastic tone.

"Brother Fang, can we trust this Wu Family?"

"We must not end up falling into the Miao Family’s trap in Chenguan Prefecture because of our trust in the Wu Family..."

With that statement,

everyone’s gaze swiftly turned towards Fang Chaowu,

including Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family, who was sitting in the chief seat,

who involuntarily looked towards Fang Chaowu.

That person was not wrong.

The Wu Family indeed resided within Chenguan Prefecture.

What the Wu Family was planning, nobody knew.

If because of trust in the Wu Family, the Luo Family were to suffer losses,

would that not squander the advantageous situation at hand?

"Family Head."

Taking a deep breath, Fang Chaowu spoke confidently to Luo Ping: "Family Head, currently the Young Master of the Wu Family, as well as many of the Wu Family clan members, are in Qingshi City. Shall I summon them?"

Luo Ping’s eyebrows raised slightly as he asked Fang Chaowu in a low voice, "The Wu Family’s Young Master and other clan members are in Qingshi City?"

Fang Chaowu affirmed with a nod: "Indeed, that is the case."

Upon hearing this,

Luo Ping’s eyes narrowed slightly.
