Chapter 455: Chapter 215: The Decision of the Great Flame Dynasty, Three Months Later (2)
Then wouldn’t his original investment have been in vain?
Even more so, by doing so, does it not mean that he was wrong in his initial decision to get involved in the internal strife within the Da Feng Dynasty?
Originally, he chose to take over the entire territory of the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family.
Could this also be a mistaken choice?
No, Yan Buming didn’t want to easily admit his mistakes.
He didn’t want to concede so easily.
What about the White Brahma Temple?
What about the Luo Family?
And the Royal Feng Family, what about them?
His Great Flame Dynasty was not weaker than anyone.
Moreover, aside from the comprehensive strength of his Great Flame Dynasty itself,
you must know that the Five Elements Immortal Sect was behind his Great Flame Dynasty as a supporter.
If, and this is an if,
If his Great Flame Dynasty truly couldn’t match that branch of the Three Great Demonic Forces of Buddhism known as the White Brahma Temple,
he would simply bow slightly to the Five Elements Immortal Sect,
seek their help, and wouldn’t everything work out?
If the Five Elements Immortal Sect were willing to take action,
to say nothing of the White Brahma Temple, even if you add the Luo Family and the Royal Feng Family,
I’m afraid none would be a match for even one hand of the Five Elements Immortal Sect.
…
After pondering this,
Yan Buming, sitting at the main seat inside the palace, finally relaxed.
He let out a breath of pent-up frustration.
Even his mood,
at this very moment, brightened a bit.
The Five Elements Immortal Sect, that was a force of the Immortal Sect.
There wasn’t a single one known as an Immortal Sect force that was simple.
If the Five Elements Immortal Sect were willing to lend a hand,
dealing with a few secular forces would be a piece of cake, wouldn’t it?
…
No longer depressed, no longer irritable,
Yan Buming also slowly stood up.
He straightened the slightly dishevelled hem of his robe.
With his hands behind his back,
and his expression and mood gradually becoming calm,
he then slowly walked towards the outside of the palace.
At this moment, it was high noon.
A fierce sun hung high in the sky.
The scorching sunlight incessantly shone down on this expanse of land.
This made Yan Buming, having just stepped out of the palace, squint his eyes slightly.
He hadn’t come out for a walk and basked in the sun for a long time.
Now, suddenly coming out,
Yan Buming really felt that today’s sunlight seemed especially dazzling.
…
In the blink of an eye,
another three months had passed.
During these three months,
the situation within the Da Feng Dynasty remained the same.
The White Lotus Prefecture’s White Brahma Temple continuously drove its controlled army of creatures, fiercely assaulting the territories held by the Great Flame Dynasty.
The people on the Great Flame Dynasty’s side were continuously contracting their defenses and then launching counterattacks.
Yet, the counterattacks of the Great Flame Dynasty seemed to be of little use.
As for the Luo Family that owned territories spanning four prefectures within the Da Feng Dynasty?
And the Da Feng Dynasty’s Imperial Feng Family?
These two…
Oh, no, to be precise, these three parties,
over these three months, were silently focusing on developing their own strength.
The White Lotus Prefecture’s White Brahma Temple was indeed a somewhat troublesome issue.
But now, after all, someone is bearing the brunt.
Someone is taking on the vast majority of the pressure from the White Brahma Temple.
In that case, why should the Luo Family and the Royal Feng Family care so much?
Under the current circumstances, the most crucial thing is to work hard to improve one’s own comprehensive strength.
As for other matters?
For example, the troubles of the White Brahma Temple.
Such things could be put aside for the time being.
When the time comes that the Great Flame Dynasty can no longer hold out, when the troubles of the White Brahma Temple truly confront the Luo Family and the Royal Feng Family,
It is estimated that only then will the Luo Family and the Royal Feng Family slowly start to pay attention to and consider solving the problem of the White Brahma Temple.
…
In Luo Mountain Prefecture, Qingshi City, within Luo Family Ancestral Land.
Inside the room where the Luo Family Patriarch resides.
At this moment, Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family,
was sitting still upon the main seat, his head lowered as he studied a map of the territory within the Da Feng Dynasty.
On the map, the region of White Lotus Prefecture occupied by the White Brahma Temple, as well as the territories held by the Great Flame Dynasty,
were the most conspicuous.
The four prefectures occupied by the Luo Family and the regions held by the Royal Feng Family were in less conspicuous positions.
“What exactly are the higher-ups of the Great Flame Dynasty thinking?”
“They have actually clenched their teeth and held on for a full three months.”
“The losses on the side of the Great Flame Dynasty over these three months must not be small, right?”
“It is said that even many monks from the White Brahma Temple have entered the fray.”
“To deal with the monks from the White Brahma Temple with cultivation, it is estimated that the Great Flame Dynasty has expended a lot of energy…”
In the room,
Atop the main seat,
Luo Ping, while looking at the map before him, spoke in a low voice to Lu Jun, who was sitting beside him.
“Perhaps, they just want to hold on a bit longer?”
“Or perhaps, it’s because the Five Elements Immortal Sect behind the Great Flame Dynasty has given them endless confidence?”
Lu Jun quietly set aside the government affairs he was handling.
After glancing at Luo Ping beside him and pondering for a moment, he spoke softly.
“The confidence given by the Five Elements Immortal Sect?”
Upon hearing this, Luo Ping’s eyes slightly narrowed, “Do you say, if the Great Flame Dynasty were to seek help from their backing, that is, from the Five Elements Immortal Sect, would the sect actually take action?”
“Take action to help the Great Flame Dynasty solve their current problems?”
“Help the Great Flame Dynasty directly deal with the trouble of the White Brahma Temple?”
Without pondering this question for long, Lu Jun simply shook his head and spoke quietly, “Not to mention that the Five Elements Immortal Sect is considered to be of the lowest standing among the Immortal Sects, within the sect, the individuals whose cultivation has surpassed the mortal realm and reached the Immortal Realm, those who can be called Immortal Cultivators, amount to only the founding patriarch of the Five Elements Immortal Sect. The significance of the Great Flame Dynasty alone is not sufficient for the Five Elements Immortal Sect to help them deal with troubles like the White Brahma Temple.”
Atop the main seat, Luo Ping lifted a cup of hot tea from the table.
After taking a sip, he continued, “It is said that the Crown Prince of the Great Flame Dynasty is a disciple of one of the several Supreme Elders of the Five Elements Immortal Sect. Even with this status, it’s not enough?”
Upon hearing this, Lu Jun reflected for a moment, then spoke softly, “If the Crown Prince of the Great Flame Dynasty was a direct disciple of the founding patriarch of the Five Elements Immortal Sect, there would be a somewhat possibility that the sect might help the Great Flame Dynasty to resolve the current predicament. However, if he is merely a disciple of one of the several Supreme Elders, then this level of importance… is obviously still not quite sufficient!”
Following Lu Jun’s response,
He reopened the official documents on the table that had not yet been addressed,
and continued with his work for the day that he had not yet completed.
And inside the room, Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family sitting atop the main seat,
was slightly squinting his eyes.
While drinking the hot tea in his hand, he silently gazed into the distance.
In his heart, he seemed to be pondering something.
“Three months…”
“They still want to hold on a bit longer?”
“If it had been three months ago, trying to withdraw from the strife within the territory of the Da Feng Dynasty, choosing to quietly sit high above, silently watching the chaos unfold within the territory of the Da Feng Dynasty,
“Then, to pick a time to resolve it, returning to the Da Feng Dynasty’s territory. I would indeed hold you in higher regard, but now…”
“The situation of the Great Flame Dynasty within the territory of the Da Feng Dynasty has already deteriorated to such an extent.
“The Great Flame Dynasty, even if it truly wishes to withdraw from the strife within the territory of the Da Feng Dynasty,
“This, I estimate, has almost become an impossible task now, hasn’t it?
“Unless, the Great Flame Dynasty there makes a bold decision to amputate the diseased limb?”
As he thought this, Luo Ping couldn’t help but shake his head.
If the Great Flame Dynasty truly had the courage and the resolve to make such a drastic measure,
how could they have gradually sunk so deep into the quagmire of the Da Feng Dynasty,
to the extent that they are nearly unable to extricate themselves?
