The town outside the Luo Family Village was not very noisy at first. However, after the Kuaiyi Sect was destroyed, Luo Tian established the Luo Family Village, and the town was renamed Luo Family Town.
After the influence of the later generations, he had seen pigs run even if he had not eaten pork. He had conveniently activated the business in the town. In addition, the outside of the Luo family town had become a gathering place for the Luo family bodyguard agency.
In just a short three months, he had changed greatly. As the land here belonged to the Luo Family Residence, the taxes were collected by the Luo Family Residence. Moreover, Luo Tian had ordered a large number of medicinal herbs and recruited many people to be escorts. More and more people came here, and it slowly became noisy. The town became more and more prosperous.
Of course, Hongchang Casino had also set up its headquarters here. The people's gambling personality had not changed. After a few rounds of cleaning up, Luo Tian's wealth was rolling in. The Kuaiyi Sect already had nearly ten million taels of silver, so they had a lot of money at their disposal. That was why Luo Tian didn't focus on this matter and had left it to Xiaoyao and Feng Wu to manage.
As the flow of people increased, Wushuang City became more vigilant. Then, they sent Laolao and Mingyue out to secretly monitor every move of the Luo Manor. However, what they didn't expect was that their identities had already been exposed. They just hadn't seen Luo Tian make a move.
In an alley in Luo Town, a family of grandparents and grandchildren had just moved in. They had been living here for seven days now, and they had been walking around Luo Town as doctors.
A thirteen-year-old girl rushed into the medicine shop. She didn't even have time to wipe the sweat off her forehead and said anxiously,"Grandma, it's bad. All the spies in Wushuang City were killed by Luo Tian. Their bodies are hanging outside the town.”
This woman was Ming Yue of Wushuang City's Ming family, and Granny, who was standing in the medicine shop fiddling with medicinal herbs, was the leader of the previous generation of the Ming family. Now that the Ming family had declined, the entire Ming family only had the grandfather and grandson in front of them.
They had been ordered to investigate if the Luo Family Village had the ambition to attack Wushuang City.
Grandma suddenly heard her granddaughter Mingyue being so impatient and scolded,""Granny has taught you a few times. You must be calm when you encounter things. If you are impatient, how can the Ming family dare to hand over to you in the future?”
She had expected the spies sent by City Lord Dugu to be eliminated. Since Luo Tian dared to wipe out the people of Lian Cheng Village, Shaolin Temple, and Jindao School, and he did not let go of the World Association, one of the two major forces connected to them, Wushuang City was also on Luo Tian's list of clean-ups.
Xiong Ba had also put in a lot of effort to hide the fact that Luo Tian had subdued his two slaves. Moreover, Luo Tian had not made it public. The two slaves had helped Luo Tian in secret, and no one had noticed anything strange. Therefore, he had sent a group of spies out as sacrifices.
It was because of this that Xiong Ba managed to deceive his grandma.
" Why didn't we help them?" Ming Yue asked, confused." We just watched them get killed by Luo Tian."”
" Hmph!" Granny snorted." These people were just used by the City Lord to test Luo Tian's determination. Now that he knows Luo Tian's intentions, the City Lord will deal with this matter."”
Just five days ago, the spies of the World Association had been eliminated. However, Luo Tian was very cunning. He did not announce it to the public. Instead, he hung the corpse of Wushuang City after killing it.
From Luo Tian's actions, she could tell that Luo Tian was more afraid of the world than Xiong Ba. He was also up to no good. Luo Tian was provoking Dugu Yifang and making him feel that he was inferior to Xiong Ba.
At the very least, Luo Tian didn't make a big fuss when he destroyed the spies of the World Association. However, after destroying Wushuang City, he was afraid that no one would know. From this, it could be seen that if Xiong Ba and Dugu Yifang tried to rope him in, Luo Tian would definitely choose Xiong Ba over Dugu Yifang.
However, there was one thing that made Granny feel strange. Luo Tian didn't have any intention of reaching out. Instead, he shrank the territory originally occupied by Kuaiyi Sect. He only held some of the more elite places in his hands, and gave up the rest of the jurisdiction, leaving these places to fend for themselves.
Ming Yue was smart, but she was still young. After hearing what Granny said, she immediately understood and mocked,"Luo Tian is so cunning.”
Granny suddenly laughed and pointed at Ming Yue's forehead.""You're still young and don't know much about contingency. He was now recruiting escorts on a large scale to let the City Lord and the World Association know that he had no ambition, nor did he have any intention of dominating the martial arts world. He only wanted to make a fortune. As long as they did not interfere with his path to making a fortune, he would not make enemies of anyone.”
"I don't believe that he doesn't have ambition." Ming Yue lowered her voice and said.”
"Whether he has ambition or not, he won't reach out for at least five years. That's for sure." As for five years later, that was another matter.”
"Why?" Ming Yue asked in confusion.
Grandma sorted the herbs and placed them on the medicine rack as she said,""What he wants now is stability, not chaos. Moreover, the City Lord does not dare to act rashly because he has no reason to do so. After all, the Kuaiyi Sect and the Luo Family had a feud of extermination. No one in the martial arts world would think that Luo Tian was wrong to exterminate the Kuaiyi Sect. This was a blood feud. As a child, no one would not want to take revenge. Even if he exterminated the Kuaiyi Sect, no one would say anything bad about him.”
However, she was still worried. The mission given to her by City Lord Dugu was to test Luo Tian's strength, and she wasn't very confident. With her current cultivation, she might not be as strong as Patriarch Kuaiyi, but he had died at Luo Tian's hands.
Once her identity was exposed and the test failed, she would very likely bring disaster to Peerless City.
Just the World Association alone was enough to stab Wushuang City in the throat. If Luo Tian was added, Wushuang City might not have the confidence to win. Although Xiong Ba had stopped expanding recently, his strength was not to be doubted. He was definitely not inferior to Dugu Yifang.
Forefather Kuaiyi had not been suppressed by both sides because of his strength. Dugu Yifang had sent Shi Wuzun to test Grandmaster Kuaiyi three years ago, and he had almost been killed by Grandmaster Kuaiyi. Since Luo Tian could kill Grandmaster Kuaiyi, he must be stronger than Grandmaster Kuaiyi.
Based on this, Dugu Yifang would only try to win Luo Tian over and not suppress him. In fact, he would even get more benefits than Patriarch Kuaiyi.
Ming Yue was not an ignorant person. Three years ago, she still remembered clearly that Shi Wu Zun was seriously injured during the martial arts competition with Grandmaster Kuaiyi, and it was her and her grandma who healed him. He had sent her and his grandmother here to test the waters.
Looking at Ming Yue's anxious face, he knew what she was worried about. Granny smiled and sighed." Don't worry, Granny. Would Granny still go if she knew that she was no match?" Moreover, Luo Tian had just destroyed the Kuaiyi Sect and had taken in two wives and concubines. It was obvious that his heart was not in the martial arts world. As long as you did not provoke him, he would not come to kill you for no reason.”
" Granny, I'm very curious," Ming Yue said curiously." According to the information we've received, he doesn't seem to be very old. He's not even twenty years old yet, but his cultivation is actually so high. If he didn't have a master, I wouldn't believe it even if I were beaten to death."”
Granny's body couldn't help but stop. Her hand stopped on the medicine rack. After a long time, she came back to her senses and frowned a few times. Then, she slowly said,"This is also what makes people curious. As far as I know, many people have been investigating him, but in the end, they all returned empty-handed.”
"Granny, why are the heads of the five sons of Kuaiyi all here, but not the head of the old ancestor Kuaiyi? Don't you think it's strange?" Ming Yue asked.”
Grandma looked at Ming Yue with a bitter smile. She nodded in approval of Ming Yue's analysis and was very satisfied. She felt that there was hope for the Ming family to revive.
However, when she thought of Dugu Ming, she felt sad again. In her heart, if she married Mingyue to Dugu Ming and cultivated the Peerless Sword Art, Wushuang City would once again shine and shock the martial arts world.
Although Dugu Ming's current character was arrogant, he was extremely lax in his cultivation of armaments. Furthermore, he was incomparably lecherous. He wasn't a hero, but a plaything that squandered. If Ming Yue were to marry such a person, it would indeed be a waste.
Thinking of this, she could only sigh to herself. At present, the undercurrents of Jianghu were surging, and the world was coming aggressively. Originally, Wushuang City had great hopes of rising again and unifying the martial arts world, but the Sword Saint was obsessed with the sword and did not care about the prosperity of Wushuang City.
Although Dugu Yifang was ambitious, his martial arts skills were ordinary and he didn't have many achievements. As for the Ming family's sword technique, she similarly did not obtain any proud achievements.
The Ming family and the Dugu family hadn't been in-laws for several generations. Even the Dugu family didn't know about the secret of practicing the Peerless Swordsmanship. Only the Ming family still inherited this secret.
She thought of Luo Tian and shook her head, thinking,""If Luo Tian is from the Dugu family, then let Mingyue and him develop feelings and become spiritually connected. With Luo Tian and Mingyue's talent and comprehension, they will definitely be able to master the Peerless Sword Technique.”
Luo Tian was able to reach Dugu Yifang and the others 'realm at such a young age. This showed how talented he was. He was a person that was rarely seen in a hundred years.
Although she could make Ming Yue captivate Luo Tian and preserve the Ming family's bloodline in the future, she had to abide by the Ming family's ancestral teachings. If anything happened to Ming Yue now, the Ming family's bloodline would be cut off in her hands. This was something she could not accept.
The situation in the pugilistic world seemed like Wushuang City was not in danger, but it was already at the mouth of the storm. If they were not careful, they would be wiped out. Under the Qing Dynasty, there were no intact eggs. If the Dugu family was destroyed, then the Ming family would also disappear.
