Chapter 193: Cooperation? Tearing off the mask!_2
The young eunuch clad in a yellow robe held his head high.
At this time, his eyes were looking down on everything.
He even no longer considered the current Luo Family Head, Luo Ping, who stood before him, worth his attention.
...
"The Five Elements Immortal Sect is indeed powerful,"
"But what does that have to do with your Great Flame Dynasty?"
"And what does it have to do with you, a eunuch?"
"Can your Great Flame Dynasty represent the will of the Five Elements Immortal Sect, or can you represent their will?"
"Don't tell me that with just one word from you, the Five Elements Immortal Sect will rush out in full force?"
"Just to annihilate my Luo Family from the mortal realms?"
"Do you think that's reasonable?"
In the room, Luo Ping, who sat in the seat of honor, was silent for a moment
but eventually could not help but burst out laughing.
Let's not even talk about that eunuch in a yellow robe.
Even if the Great Flame Dynasty truly faced a crisis of life and death, what of it?
Is the Great Flame Dynasty the father or mother of the Five Elements Immortal Sect?
Would the Five Elements Immortal Sect choose to emerge in full strength for a mere Great Flame Dynasty, to the point where even the only Immortal Realm cultivator in the sect, the old ancestor at the Gathering Spirit stage, would stand up for the Great Flame Dynasty?
Heh, don't make me laugh.
There's no such idyllic world.
In the eyes of the Five Elements Immortal Sect, the Great Flame Dynasty is nothing more than a tool for delivering spirit stones and various precious resources to their sect.
If the Great Flame Dynasty is just a tool,
and if it breaks, then it breaks.
In the worst case, they would just replace it.
It's impossible for the Five Elements Immortal Sect to go to bat for the Great Flame Dynasty.
Dispatching a few disciples from within the Five Elements Immortal Sect to help resolve some chaos within the empire is already the limit.
Wishing for more help is simply wishful thinking.
And let's not even mention that the Crown Prince of the Great Flame Dynasty has become a disciple of one of the Supreme Elders of the Five Elements Immortal Sect.
Even if the Crown Prince becomes the disciple of the only Immortal Realm old ancestor in the Five Elements Immortal Sect.
It will be the same.
You should know that on this world, what we have in ample supply are so-called geniuses,
and geniuses who have not yet grown up, who bite the dust midway through.
They are just geniuses after all.
A genius who dies young will never be as good as an existing higher-end combat force.
"You, you..."
The young eunuch's eyes bulged as he pointed at Luo Ping before him.
For a moment, his face couldn't help but turn somewhat red,
and he was even somewhat at a loss for words.
"The Luo Family, huh?"
"Good, I'll remember you all..."
The young eunuch dressed in yellow robes left behind such a threatening remark.
Afterward, he intended to leave this room, to leave the Luo Family Ancestral Land.
And when he returned to the Great Flame Dynasty,
he would surely have a good talk with his wise monarch about the Luo Family's insolence.
If he could get his wise monarch to join forces with others,
to eliminate the extremely arrogant Luo Family first, that would be ideal.
Even the prospective allies were clear in the mind of the young eunuch.
Choose the Ke Family from Xunyang Prefecture, already beset by enemies on all sides, in an extremely dangerous situation.
Considering the Ke Family, they would surely accept no matter how unreasonable his conditions, simply because the Ke Family had no other choice.
"Leave?"
"Where do you think you're going?"
Luo Ping gazed at the young eunuch before him, who had turned around, seemingly intending to leave,
and he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
In his narrowed eyes, a fleeting trace of icy coldness flashed by.
"What, you're not letting me leave?"
The young eunuch turned back around, his cold gaze fixed on Luo Ping, who sat quietly in the seat of honor.
In his eyes, there seemed to be a hint of a provocative expression—
as if to say, if you dare, why not come at me?
Come on, take action!
...
As the two faced each other,
the atmosphere in the room gradually became more oppressive, increasingly suffocating.
Behind the young eunuch in the yellow robe,
a faint silhouette appeared.
This figure emitted an incredibly terrifying aura, seemingly around the Organ Refinement Late Stage.
This person was precisely the arrogant trump card of the young eunuch.
Similarly, this was also one of the Great Flame Dynasty's foundations.
After countless resources and an extremely long time cultivating, the Great Flame Dynasty had finally managed to train these Death Warriors with great difficulty.
However, before that silhouette had fully entered Luo Ping's eyes,
the space behind the figure dressed in grey seemed to distort slightly, and soon after, another figure dressed in black appeared.
A dark shadow that seemed to emit an intense cold year-round, as well as the aura of someone at the Perfection stage of Viscera Refinement.
Just like that, it silently appeared behind the Death Warrior from the Great Flame Dynasty.
Then, a glimmer of cold light flashed by.
A large head silently fell to the ground.
Bright red blood splattered in every direction.
The thick scent of blood gradually began to spread throughout the room.
At this time, the young eunuch seemed to have not noticed anything unusual.
Only when he felt something warm splashing onto his face,
did things seem to have settled down.
...
After dealing with the Death Warrior at the Organ Refinement Late Stage, who had been behind the young eunuch,
Zhen, the third Commander of the Shadow Guards, dressed in a black robe, also slowly disappeared from the room.
Vanished from Luo Ping's line of sight.
"Dead, dead?!!"
The young eunuch clad in a yellow robe touched the warmth on his face with his hand.
Then, he looked at the smear of blood on his hand.
He looked again at the body that had fallen to the ground, severed into two.
The top Death Warrior tasked with protecting him from the Great Flame Dynasty.
He couldn't help but be a bit stunned.
However, it was only a moment later.
His eyes slowly widened, and it seemed that a hint of disbelief flashed through them.
"You, how dare you?"
"How dare the Luo Family do this?"
The young eunuch in yellow robes looked unbelievingly at Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family who sat at the head of the table.
But as he listened to these words, Luo Ping's expression remained calm as he sipped the tea in his hand.
"How dare we?"
Luo Ping cracked a smile, then looked somewhat silently at the young eunuch in front of him and said in a low voice, "Now that we have shown our true faces, you don't think you can still leave here alive, do you?"
The young eunuch's face flushed red, and his cheeks twitched slightly, "Luo Ping, are you truly not afraid of the Great Flame Dynasty, not scared of the Five Elements Immortal Sect backing it?"
"Luo Ping, do you realize that you're digging your family's own grave!!!"
The young eunuch shouted loudly.
He seemed to want to intimidate Luo Ping with these words,
seemingly looking for a last glimmer of hope for his own life.
Unfortunately,
if it had been someone else, they might have hesitated because of fear of the Great Flame Dynasty and the Five Elements Immortal Sect behind it and not acted against the young eunuch.
But for Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family...
He didn't care about any of the eunuch's words at all.
The Great Flame Dynasty?
Heh, if they should come, then they'll just have to face it.
The Luo Family, even if fighting on two fronts,
did not need to worry at all.
As for the Five Elements Immortal Sect?
Forget it, better save it...
The Five Elements Immortal Sect, that's an Immortal Sect!
A Sect with true Immortal Realm Cultivators.
Would such an existence take action for a mere dead eunuch?
What kind of joke is that?
Forget about the eunuch, even if the Great Flame Dynasty were to fall, the Five Elements Immortal Sect probably wouldn't bat an eye.
As long as the next ruler is sensible, knows his place, and continues to provide the necessary Spirit Stones and resources, that would be enough.
As for which power provides these Spirit Stones and precious resources,
the Five Elements Immortal Sect wouldn't care about that.
...
After the young eunuch had died,
Luo Ping called a few servants.
He asked them to clean up the guest hall, which now reeked slightly of blood.
And what of him, the current Family Head of the Luo Family?
At this time, he walked out of the guest hall alone, with his hands behind his back, in silence.
The young eunuch was dead.
The Five Elements Immortal Sect didn't merit too much concern.
But as for the Great Flame Dynasty... the face-off had escalated.
It looked like it wouldn't be long before the Luo Family would face the pressure of fighting on two fronts, right?
"Looking at it like this, it really is a season full of troubles..."
