"Elder Blade," the man in the light brown robe greeted Su Changkong with a smile and a slight nod, while also taking him in. He didn’t underestimate Su Changkong because of his young appearance.
This ’Elder Blade’ was a newly appointed Guest Elder of the Xia Yan family; none who attained the position of a Guest Elder in the Xia Yan family were weak.
And Dao Wufeng was even more mysterious and powerful, a Great Grandmaster who had cultivated pseudo Divine Skills! No one dared to belittle him!
"Flame Dragon Guard?"
Su Changkong was slightly surprised as well.
He had heard of the name Flame Dragon Guard, directly loyal to the Great Flame Royal Family. When Su Changkong had disguised himself as Hong Zhenxiang in the Sunset Blood Battle, he had turned the tide and averted a major crisis.
Following that, someone had come to Dafeng State City, inviting Su Changkong to join the Flame Dragon Guard, with endless resources and Spirit Pills and Spiritual Medicine at his disposal.
But joining the Flame Dragon Guard required accepting a certain mark, inevitably tying one’s loyalty to the Yan Imperial Family. Su Changkong, who loathed not being the master of his own fate, had politely refused!
Those who could join the Flame Dragon Guard were elites and geniuses chosen from all over the states. Even though they were marked to ensure their absolute loyalty to the Yan Imperial Family, their treatment was unparalleled, whether it was Divine Skill Secret Books or Spirit Pills and Spiritual Medicine, they had it all!
The man in the light brown robe, Gu Feiyang, was of high status and identity, the leader of the Flame Dragon Guard! Unfathomable!
Su Changkong gave a slight nod as a greeting and looked at Xia Yanjie: "What brings you here this time? Even the leader of the Flame Dragon Guard has personally come out?"
Gu Feiyang being the leader of the Flame Dragon Guard, his strength was unfathomable, and the four others he led were also among the top experts of the Flame Dragon Guard. Su Changkong noted that their auras were round and integrated, a sign of the Five Qi converging in the Sea of Consciousness!
With five such powerful figures moving out together, one could imagine that the matter at hand was not simple.
Xia Yanjie’s expression became solemn as he got straight to the point, "Elder Blade… because this time, we need to deal with a family clan."
"A family clan?"
At the mention, Su Changkong too was slightly surprised.
A family clan was the descendant of a Martial Saint, inheriting the Martial Saint’s bloodline! They were generally quite substantial! 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝔲𝔟.𝔠𝖔𝖒
Like the Li Family before, although they had fallen on hard times, they were still far beyond an ordinary family or sect.
And now, even the leader of the Flame Dragon Guard had personally taken action to deal with a family clan!
Xia Yanjie sighed, "The members of the family clan are naturally unwilling to be under others. In the past, they could still be suppressed, but now that the world is in chaos, many family clans have started to make moves. Some excessive ones trample on human lives, establish their own territories as kings, and Emperor Yan desires to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys...
dealing with a particularly excessive family clan."
Su Changkong nodded lightly.
He had a certain understanding of family clans.
Family clans were descendants of Martial Saints. Some were like the Li Family, considered normal. But some family clans, to ensure the potency of their bloodline, would devour and plunder the bloodlines of other family clans.
And some even directly used Demon Monster Crystal Cores to strengthen their own bloodlines.
The offspring of these family clans often became mad and extreme, resorting to slaughter at the slightest disagreement!
Now, with the world in turmoil, many family clans had grown increasingly brazen. The Great Flame Royal Family decided to strike the mountain to shock the tiger and kill the chicken to warn the monkeys!
Gu Feiyang, the leader of the Flame Dragon Guard at his side, said with eyes full of killing intent, "The family clan we are going to deal with this time is the Luo Family, which dominates Diluo City in Central State."
"Diluo City’s Luo Family..."
Su Changkong’s mind conjured relevant information. Having been in Central State for several years, he had read many books and was aware of many forces and intelligence related to Central State.
According to the intelligence Su Changkong had seen, Diluo City lay in Central State, and the Luo Family had made the city an iron fortress. Even the officials appointed by the Great Flame Royal Family were mere figureheads there, with the Luo Family wielding military power, essentially the king of Diluo City!
Gu Feiyang, with killing intent in his eyes, said, "The officials we from the Great Flame Royal Family have sent over the years, those who do not oppose the Luo Family and obediently tow the line might survive. Many more mysteriously disappear or encounter assassins... this is contempt for royal authority! Now we must settle the score with them, bringing down the entire Luo Family.
Those who dare to resist will be put to death without exception!"
Su Changkong did not comment much.
This Diluo City’s Luo Family, being a time-honored family clan, must undoubtedly be formidable. The Great Flame Royal Family’s choice of targeting the Luo Family was clearly well-considered.
Xia Yanjie at the side said, "Elder Blade, we ask for your cooperation with Leader Gu this time, to ensure with absolute certainty that the Luo Family is captured."
To deal with the Luo Family, Leader Gu Feiyang of the Flame Dragon Guard personally took action, leading the top warriors of the Flame Dragon Guard. And to add an extra layer of assurance, to leave no stone unturned, they also enlisted the help of Su Changkong, the newly appointed Guest Elder of the Xia Yan family.
"Understood." Su Changkong nodded calmly, agreeing to the request. Having taken benefits, it was natural to contribute the effort!
"Good, we have already started to marshal our troops. Three days from now, we will take action on time!" Gu Feiyang said, seeing Su Changkong’s agreement.
This time they intended to capture all members of the Luo Family, completely uprooting the Luo Family from Diluo City!
Su Changkong had no objections to this.
As Gu Feiyang and the others prepared, Su Changkong’s task was to wait for the forces to gather and join forces with Gu Feiyang and other top experts to enter Diluo City and capture the Luo Family’s experts!
Three days passed in a blink.
Diluo City, in the dead of night, all was silent, and the soldiers on the city walls stood guard as usual.
Atop the high lookout tower on the city wall, a Diluo City soldier with keen eyesight suddenly paused. Within the hazy fog, he saw figures in armor, knights galloping toward them.
