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

After dealing with the Huangquan Sect, Luo Yao, the successor to the Luo Family's headship, naturally headed towards Qingshi City, where the Luo Family ancestral land was located.

He was still over ten thousand miles away from Qingshi City, in a medium-sized city called Wumu City.

At that time, it was evening, and the sun was setting.

The remaining sunlight continuously spilled over the land, adding a different kind of beauty to the area.

However, what puzzled Luo Yao was...

In Wumu City, passersby on the streets seemed to carry a sense of melancholy.

If it were just that, it might not have mattered much.

What was truly unusual, however,

was the atmosphere in the city, which was so oppressive that it made people feel uncomfortable.

Luo Yao was puzzled, but he didn't say much; he just chose a tavern with Zhen and the remaining Shadow Guards and sat down to have a good meal.

Wumu City was located at the border between the Da Feng Dynasty and the White Lotus Prefecture.

This area was plagued by constant wars, with many powers entrenched, and the fighting between different forces never ceased.

As a relatively prosperous city in this region, Wumu City was naturally affected by these powers and wars.

After Luo Yao sat down in the tavern, he casually ordered some food and drink and then asked Zhen in a low voice,

"Do you know why the people in Wumu City all look worried and seem oppressed?"

"Could something have happened in Wumu City recently?"

"When we previously eradicated the Huangquan Sect, all members of the sect perished, but the news only spread among some secret forces and powerful circles and didn't cause much of a stir."

"People in Wumu City obviously don't know that everyone in the Huangquan Sect has perished."

"It seems that the fall of the Huangquan Sect has been deliberately suppressed by some major powers."

Luo Yao pondered this. He wasn't actually concerned about the fall of the Huangquan Sect.

After all, no matter how powerful the Huangquan Sect was, it was just another sect, not worthy of his attention.

What he was really interested in was finding out which mysterious power had the energy to deliberately suppress the news of the fall of the Huangquan Sect.

One should know that even if the news couldn't cause a huge stir, it definitely couldn't be hidden from all powers and strong figures.

Yet, the fact was such, clearly, there was a major power deliberately suppressing it.

"Reporting to the Young Family Head," Zhen said, "from what I know,"

"The reason why everyone in Wumu City looks worried and the atmosphere is a bit oppressive is because not long ago, the White Brahma Temple in White Lotus Prefecture suddenly sent a large number of monks here."

"Their purpose seems to be to find something precious..."

Upon hearing Luo Yao's inquiry, Zhen immediately responded respectfully.

"Looking for what?"

Luo Yao was momentarily stunned upon hearing Zhen's words.

Then, he couldn't help but chuckle softly, "That's interesting; it seems that this time, the White Brahma Temple has bitten off more than they can chew."

"What do you mean by that, Young Family Head?"

Zhen asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It's nothing, just that the actions of the White Brahma Temple this time seem unwise."

Luo Yao shook his head, chuckling softly.

"They even dare to look for things within Wumu City, not fearing that the forces in this area would unite to clear them out."

"After all, with the constant wars here and various forces entrenched, if they really provoke the wrong power, even the White Brahma Temple of the White Lotus Prefecture won't be able to protect them."

"So, the people in Wumu City are worried about the safety of the White Brahma Temple, hence everyone looks worried and the atmosphere in the city is a bit oppressive."

Thinking this through, Luo Yao then waved his hand dismissively at Zhen.

"Alright, these matters are none of our concern; we should just focus on eating and drinking."

"Yes."

Zhen respectfully replied, immediately pouring a drink for Luo Yao.

Luo Yao took a sip from his cup and then continued to savor the food in front of him.

Frankly speaking, although these cities were not very bustling,

some places were still quite nice, such as the drinks in this tavern, which, though not exceptionally good, still had their own flavor.

As Luo Yao tasted the food and drink, he pondered his next steps.

Originally, he had planned to directly return to the Qingshi City Luo Family, but now...

Perhaps he could take a detour somewhere else.

Just then, the Shadow Guards received new information, claiming that a precious Spiritual Medicine called Tianshuang Snow Lingzhi had appeared in Tianshuang City. If he could obtain this Spiritual Medicine, he was certain that Elder Changfeng would be pleased.

"Zhen, do you know how far Tianshuang City is from here?"

After eating a few bites, Luo Yao asked Zhen in a low voice.

"Reporting to the Young Family Head, according to what I know, Tianshuang City is several thousand miles away from here,"

Zhen immediately responded.

"Several thousand miles away..."

Luo Yao pondered this in his mind and then waved his hand at Zhen.

"Settle the bill, let's head to Tianshuang City first."

"Yes."

Zhen promptly responded and went to settle the bill.
