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

After the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family had made arrangements with the New Emperor, Feng Wumian,

The Ke Family, which held dominion over Changli, Xunyang, and Jiangnan Prefecture,

Gradually started to operate like an incredibly precise machine, rapidly turning its gears into motion.

Countless elite soldiers clad in armor,

Were mobilized one after another, heading towards the territory where the Wan Shan Prefecture Xu Family was located.

Innumerable supplies such as food, armor, weapons, and medicine,

Along with various other materials,

Were also, at this moment, transported en masse to a city nearest to the Wan Shan Prefecture Xu Family.

...

As time slipped by,

Soon, three days had passed.

During these three days,

The actions of the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family were inevitably exposed to the public eye.

Perhaps, the Ke Family had no potential to conceal it,

Or perhaps, it was because of the grand scale of the Ke Family’s movements,

That led to the leakage of this affair, even if the Ke Family wished to keep it secret.

Naturally, it was impossible to escape the eyes of the other family powers.

...

Da Feng Dynasty,

Wan Shan Prefecture, Xu Family territory.

Within the room where the Xu Family Head resided,

The current Family Head of the Xu Family, Xu Yicun, was sitting quietly in the principal seat.

The light in the room was somewhat dim,

And as a result of the darkness, his face seemed difficult to discern clearly.

"Ah..."

After taking a deep breath and slowly exhaling,

Xu Yicun, who was dealing with the papers on the desk, couldn’t help but silently raise his head

And calmly gaze into the distance.

"So, you have finally made your move?"

Xu Yicun glanced at the intelligence report beside him,

And shook his head somewhat helplessly.

Today, the Wan Shan Prefecture Xu Family has publicly announced their alignment with the Luo Family’s camp.

If you add the land of Wan Shan Prefecture controlled by the Xu Family,

The Luo Family now held territory over four prefectures,

Engendering a tremendous leap in overall strength.

Yet the Xu Family,

Oh no, more accurately the Luo Family,

Is still targeted by the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family.

For what reason is this?

Is the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family gambling,

Gambling that the Luo Family won’t make a move?

Or does the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family have another card up their sleeve?

Do they have their own strategies?

While pondering, Xu Yicun, as the current Family Head of the Wan Shan Prefecture Xu Family, couldn’t help but frown slightly.

If the Ke Family is merely gambling...

Is their Family Head too naïve?

But if it’s not a gamble,

What then is the Ke Family’s backup plan?

Stay updated with empire

What exactly are their machinations?

Has the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family found their own ally?

But if the Ke Family truly has found an ally, then who could that be?

Is it Feng Wuhen, the Second Prince of the Da Feng Dynasty?

Or is it Feng Wumian, the New Emperor of the Da Feng Dynasty?

Or perhaps... is it the White Brahma Temple within the White Lotus Prefecture, known as one of the Three Great Demonic Forces of Buddhism?

After a long period of thought,

Xu Yicun silently stood up.

He first ruled out the White Brahma Temple of the White Lotus Prefecture,

Because the White Brahma Temple had no such need,

And the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family likely wouldn’t dare to bet their chips on the White Brahma Temple, known as one of the Three Great Demonic Forces of Buddhism.

If the White Brahma Temple was eliminated,

Then the only potential allies left for the Ke Family would be two other options:

Second Prince, Feng Wuhen,

And New Emperor, Feng Wumian.

While he couldn’t be certain which side it might be,

If he had to choose between the two, he would lean more towards the New Emperor, Feng Wumian.

After all, it was because of the Luo Family that the New Emperor lost a significant part of his domain around Qingcheng Prefecture,

While Feng Wuhen’s side reaped a full harvest.

"If it really is the New Emperor, Feng Wumian..."

"It seems the situation is gradually becoming more troubling,"

In the room,

Xu Yicun squinted his eyes, murmuring softly.

...

The Xu Family within Wan Shan Prefecture learned of this news

And naturally, Feng Wumian, the New Emperor of the Da Feng Dynasty, had also learned of it early on.

Da Feng Dynasty, inside the Imperial Palace at Zijin Prefecture,

In a grand hall where only two were present,

Feng Wumian, dressed in the Emperor’s Robe and exuding faint hints of imperial majesty,

Was silently seated on the throne.

And Zhong Yu, who previously represented Feng Wumian to negotiate with the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family,

Stood quietly with his head slightly bowed.

"The Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family, they have made their move?"

In the somewhat silent hall,

Feng Wumian, sitting in the principal seat, suddenly raised his head and quietly asked Zhong Yu in front of him.

Zhong Yu shook his head silently and replied softly, "The Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family is still preparing; however, they should launch an attack on the Wan Shan Prefecture Xu Family within half a month..."

As he spoke,

Zhong Yu raised his head,

Glanced at Feng Wumian sitting in the principal seat,

And continued, "Just yesterday, the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family also sent people to inquire why we were taking action against the Luo Family..."

...

As Zhong Yu voiced this,

The already somewhat somber and oppressive atmosphere in the grand hall,

Briefly became more suffocating.

Zhong Yu, who stood in silence, now bowed his head even lower,

No longer daring to meet the gaze of the New Emperor, Feng Wumian, in front of him.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
