Chapter 100 – The Ancient Scroll
The inter-family competition had concluded.
And the Luo family had won everything.
The Song family only existed in name now, and the Zhou family that withdrew from the competition was not the Luo family’s opponent.
The moment when Luo Tian used his Blood Devouring Wild Blade to chop Zhu Changfeng in half, Zhou Tairan knew he wasn’t Luo Tian’s opponent anymore.
But…
The Zhou family didn’t quickly leave Jade Mountain City as if they were waiting for something.
There was still some time before the sky gets dark…
That’s why Luo Tian could only hold in his temper while he waited.
Midday, inside the Luo family’s main hall.
Luo Tian was sitting at the highest position with an imposing expression. Although they had won this time, they also paid an extremely heavy price for it.
Feng Lei was seriously injured, Luo Kunshan was seriously injured, and there were many disciples that had died.
This was undoubtedly considered one disaster after another for the Luo family.
A while later, a Luo family disciple rushed into the main hall and said: “Patriarch, the Third Elder’s injuries have been stabilized after taking your Fire Dragon pill. As for brother fatty, he is…”
Luo Tian frowned, then stood up to ask: “How’s fatty doing?”
The disciple scratched his head and said: “Brother fatty is snoring… the doctor said his sleep is so deep that he won’t wake up.”
Luo Tian felt like a rock had been removed from his heart as he waved his hand: “You can withdraw for now.”
If something bad were to really happen to fatty, Luo Tian would go to hell and pull him back up. It’s not easy to meet a brother that one’s willing to go through life or death with so Luo Tian will treasure it with all he’s got.
Since Feng Lei and Luo Kunshan were both fine, Luo Tian was finally able to feel at ease. He then looked over at Song Yannan and asked: “Elder brother Song, do you have any plans for the future?”
Out of the four major families of Jade Mountain City, the Zhu and Song family only existed in name now. Wanting to re-establish themselves was an impossible task.
Whatever choices Song Yannan chose, Luo Tian will support him the best he can.
The Song family being destroyed was more or less connected to him, that’s why Luo Tian has been feeling guilty about it. This was the reason he handed Zhu Yaozong over to the Song family to deal with in the end.
An expert at the Profound Master 9th rank was quite a bit of experience points, but Luo Tian understood that there’s certain tasks one must do personally in order to let go of the weight in one’s heart.
The enmity of the Song family must be resolved by their own people.
Having Zhu Yaozong die in their hands could be considered giving an account to all those Song family members that had died.
Song Yannan bitterly laughed before saying: “Today I was determined to fight until my death, yet I never imagined I would muddle my way through and survive the ordeal. As for future plans, I haven’t even thought about them.”
“Oh right!”
Song Yannan suddenly stood up and turned to the six Song family members and said: “Song family members listen up! Kowtow to our benefactor!”
As his voice faded…
All seven Song family members kneeled down and said in unison: “Thank you benefactor!”
Luo Tian rushed forth and supported Song Yannan up while frantically saying: “Elder brother Song, what are you guys doing? Quickly get up; are you guys not treating me as a friend?”
With Song Yannan’s cultivation at the Profound Master 9th rank, Luo Tian wasn’t able to lift him off his knees that long. Song Yannan heavily landed on his knees again and said: “Luo Tian, without you, it would be impossible for us to avenge the deaths of our four hundred plus clan members. I am representing the Song family members alive and dead, in sincerely thanking you.”
After saying that, he heavily kowtowed on the ground.
A loud “bang” was heard making the tiles seemed like they were about to crack.
“Ding!”
“A C-rank quest has been triggered – Recruit Song Yannan. The reward will be 200 experience points.”
Song Yannan’s act of kneeling would even kneel out a C-rank quest? The experience reward was so little that Luo Tian didn’t even care about it.
Luo Tian supported Song Yannan up and said: “Elder brother Song, how about you all stay at my Luo family for now? If you’re willing, our Luo and Song family can even become one and you be the Patriarch. What do you think?”
It would be best if Song Yannan could become the Patriarch.
Jade Mountain City was simply too small and Luo Tian would eventually leave it. And Song Yannan will certainly not have any selfish motives based on his personality. Under his leadership, the Luo family will certainly become the ruler of Jade Mountain City without a doubt.
The Luo family didn’t have any good candidates.
