Chapter 15 – Undercurrents
Cursing out an Elder, messing with the Patriarch, all of what happened on the martial training grounds was quickly spread out to the entire Jade Mountain City.
Whether it be on main streets, small alleyways or restaurants, they were all discussing about this.
South side of the city, the Zhu family.
“This Luo Tian seems like he won’t be alive for much longer.”
“Old Three, it’s good that Zhu Mei backed out of the marriage early enough or else we’ll be dragged down as well.”
“The once arrogant genius had now become a crazy person; this was all the internal conflicts of the Luo family. The current Luo family is similar to the current Luo Tian; it won’t be long before they too will disappear from the Jade Mountain City…”
“Patriarch, do we need to prepare anything for this?”
“No need, there’s no need for us to interfere with this situation. Old Three, have Zhu Mei firmly grasp onto Luo Yue. I need to use this connection to control the whole Luo family in the future. Once we gain all the territories of the Luo family, the Jade Mountain City will become our Zhu family’s. Hahaha…”
“Interesting, very interesting. Old Four, secretly keep an eye out on those two Zhou and Song families. If there are any signs of trouble or movement, immediately let me know.”
In another area.
Western side of the city, the Zhou family.
“Death is truly imminent for Luo Tian. He actually dares to participate in the hunting contest, isn’t that equivalent to digging his own grave?”
“Once Luo Tian dies, Luo Jianshan will certainly use this chance to officially become the Patriarch. But will the other Elders of the Luo family also use this chance to rise up?”
“The Luo family has been very peaceful these few years because of Luo Tian’s existence. We can say he has a very unique existence. But after this incident, Luo Jianshan will definitely get rid of him. Once Luo Tian dies, this will break the balance of the Luo family and internal conflicts will bound to rise.”
“Patriarch, what if Luo Tian doesn’t die?”
“Doesn’t die?”
“Patriarch, I think Luo Tian has to die because this will create a chance for our Zhou family…”
Zhou Tai narrowed his eyes and mumbled, “That kid Luo Tian has to die, it looks like this time I’ll have to stir up the muddy waters of the Luo family.”
On the surface of the Jade Mountain City, the four major families look like they live in harmony and don’t mess with each other. But they have been secretly fighting for decades and no one has come out on top.
Each of the four major families had always wanted dominance to occupy the Jade Mountain City.
The power of the Luo family has gradually lessened these several years, giving the other three major families a glimmer of hope.
As long as they can grab the Luo family’s territories and bring it into their fold, then dominating Jade Mountain City will be a matter of time!
North side of the city, the Song family.
Song Yannan was frowning as he was lost in thought.
A while later…
Song Yannan raised his head and asked again: “You really personally saw Luo Tian breakthrough Luo Xiaoshan’s profound energy palm?
“This disciple personally saw it.” A youth wearing the clothing of the Luo family disciples answered in a serious manner.
On the surface he was a disciple of the Luo family while he was actually a member of the Song family.
Each of the families would have these types of undercover 007 slipped into each other’s rank.
The eyebrows of Song Yannan wrinkled up before he asked: “How many levels do you think Luo Tian’s strength has been recovered by?”
The youth was thinking for a while before saying: “This disciple doesn’t know, but the feeling Luo Tian gives me is that he’s very strong. The aura from his body could instantly double, and the fist skills he displayed is something I’ve never seen before. The set of fist skills should be at Grade 1 or above.”
“His aura suddenly increased?”
“A martial skill that’s at least at the Grade 1 level?”
Song Yannan’s eyebrows wrinkled a bit more before he waved his hand, “You can go back for now. Housekeeper Liu, go to the accounts room and give him 100 silvers as a reward.”
The youth’s eyebrows rose and immediately cupped his fists, “Thank you Patriarch.”
After the youth left, Song Yannan’s expression became normal again and lightly asked: “What do you all think?”
There were five other people in the main hall; they were the Song family’s five Elders.
