Chapter 186: Chapter 114: Hate the Luo Family? Want Revenge?_1
Xuanyuan Continent, abundant with Immortal Sects.
Being part of the Wan Dan Sect, where the Ancestor of the Luo Family, Luo Changfeng, resided, it was a colossal entity ranked within the top ten of these countless Immortal Sects in terms of comprehensive strength.
As for the Wu Yue Sect, where Chen Wanliang, Young Master of the Chen Family, belonged,
it, too, was one among the numerous Immortal Sects of the Xuanyuan Continent.
It was just that its overall strength could not compare with that of the Wan Dan Sect.
Atop Wu Yue Peak, amidst swirling clouds and drifting immortal energy within the Wu Yue Sect,
at this moment, a significant number of disciples wearing the sect’s exclusive Taoist robes were silently proceeding forward.
“Chen Wanliang, Chen Wanliang…”
At the entrance to the Wu Yue Sect,
a named disciple of the sect was calling out loudly to a young man over and over again.
“Senior brother, what is it?”
As he looked at the middle-aged man behind him, who seemed amiable, Chen Wanliang couldn’t help but pause.
“It’s something sent over from Huai Shui County, addressed specifically to you…”
“It should be a letter from your family…”
The amiable senior brother waved his hand and took out an unopened letter from his storage bag.
“For me?”
Despite some surprise, Chen Wanliang still took the letter and opened it, slowly beginning to read.
However, upon looking at it,
his expression suddenly turned somewhat ugly.
The hands holding the letter also tightened unconsciously.
“What’s wrong?”
“Has something happened at home?”
The amiable senior brother asked Chen Wanliang in a soft voice.
But Chen Wanliang didn’t speak.
He merely showed a somewhat forced smile on his face.
He shook his head, murmuring, “It’s nothing…”
The amiable senior brother was somewhat skeptical, “Really, it’s nothing?”
Chen Wanliang answered again, “Really, it’s nothing…”
As he spoke, Chen Wanliang put the letter back into his storage bag,
and walked off alone, in silence.
Although Chen Wanliang didn’t say much,
the amiable senior brother could sense a deep sadness and a hint of helplessness from Chen Wanliang’s departing figure.
However, since the junior brother wouldn’t say,
it wasn’t his place as a senior brother to pry further.
…
After Chen Wanliang returned to his dwelling within the Wu Yue Sect,
he took out the letter from the storage bag again.
He unfolded it and looked at it in silence.
Who knows how much time passed,
Chen Wanliang finally finished reading the letter.
The letter was not written by his father, nor anyone from the Chen Family.
It was from his spy left in Huai Shui County.
The content roughly described the downfall of the Chen Family, a slaughter that left no survivors of the entire clan.
Naturally, the letter also revealed who was responsible.
It was the Luo Family from Qingshi Town.
“Competing for supremacy in the world…”
After setting down the letter, Chen Wanliang’s normally calm face betrayed a trace of bitterness.
During his recent visit to his clan,
he had argued with his father about this very issue.
What mattered more, power or authority?
In the end, they could not come to any conclusion.
Later, Chen Wanliang left the Chen Family estate in Huai Shui County to continue his cultivation, returning to the Wu Yue Sect at the summit of Wu Yue Peak, outside the Da Feng Dynasty.
Chen Wanliang had believed that, with the Chen Family’s strength,
even if the bid for control failed, they could still live peacefully in this world.
However, events unfolded beyond his expectations.
His father died, his mother died.
All his relatives were dead.
The entirety of the Chen Family… all had perished at the hands of the Luo Family.
Hatred? Suffering? A fate worse than death?
It seemed he felt all of these to some extent.
Yet none too strongly.
In fact, just now, Chen Wanliang wondered if his cultivation had gradually diminished his attachment to worldly emotions?
Even with the complete extinction of his family.
Aside from a slight stir of emotion, his heart no longer underwent any other changes.
“Qingshi Town, Luo Family…”
Chen Wanliang silently lifted his head, looking into the distance.
Revenge was, of course, necessary,
but clearly not at this moment.
Even though he had joined the Wu Yue Immortal Sect, he was still merely a disciple who had achieved Bone Refinement Perfection, just one among the many named disciples of the Wu Yue Immortal Sect.
He wanted revenge, wanted to exact a bloody justice on his enemies.
But it seemed he was not yet qualified to do so.
…
In the blink of an eye, another half month had passed.
In this half-month,
Huai Shui County gradually returned to its former peace.
Over in Yellow Mountain County, which lay close to Huai Shui County,
there seemed to be no further attacks on Huai Shui County following the initial sneak assault.
Was it because Luo Yong was defending near Yellow Mountain County,
or for some other reason?
Regardless, for any reason,
living in peace was extremely beneficial for the current Huai Shui County Luo Family.
…
It was high noon.
On the outskirts of Qingshi City, by the increasingly vast expanse of farmland,
there was Luo Chuan, the Young Master of the Luo Family,
once again pulled out by Hu Min.
Today was the second harvest time for the Luo Family’s crops.
The first harvest had temporarily relieved the crisis concerning food for the Luo Family,
and this second one added significantly to the Family’s not-so-abundant resources.
“Really, did you have to drag me out here?”
“I was at a crucial juncture in my study of the Formation arts…”
