Chapter 3648: Three Families Alliance

“Because these two beasts, they conspired to harm my father!”

After Luo Bingyan finished speaking, she flicked her hand, and a letter fell in front of the Elders. It was the handwritten letter Luo Wusheng had given her back then.

Luo Wushan opened the letter, and the others also read it together. After seeing the content, their expressions changed drastically.

If it was just Luo Bingyan’s own narration, it would be unsubstantiated, but with the handwritten letter from the old Family Head, they immediately believed it without a doubt.

Coupled with Luo Wuqian's slip of the tongue in his rage earlier, directly calling Luo Tianyang his son, this matter was completely settled, with no further suspense.

Most critically, after Luo Wusheng's death, Luo Tianyang's tenure as Family Head was lackluster, causing the Luo Family to continuously decline, which made him quite unpopular.

If it weren't for the title of Luo Wusheng’s sole heir, he would have probably been driven out of the Family Head position long ago.

“Damn Luo Wuqian, to commit such a shameless act!”

After learning the truth, Second Elder Luo Wushan cursed loudly.

The others were also like that, deeply hating Luo Wuqian and Shao Fengyun.

“Take the bodies of these two beasts out and feed them to the dogs.”

Luo Wushan waved his hand, instructing his subordinates to dispose of the bodies of Luo Wuqian and Shao Fengyun.

Next was the joint worship of Luo Wusheng. Under Luo Bingyan’s leadership, the core members of the Luo Family all came to the ancestral hall.

Upon arriving before the spirit tablets, Luo Bingyan used the heads of Luo Wuqian and the other two as offerings, then lit incense and candles, before kneeling to kowtow and pay respects to her parents.

The other members of the Luo Family did the same, kneeling in succession. Ye Bufan was not considered a Luo Family member; he only offered a few sticks of incense as a Junior, then retreated outside to wait.

After about a quarter of an hour, Luo Bingyan and the others walked out of the ancestral hall.

Ye Bufan glanced at the woman. Although she was as cold as ever, there was still a significant change from before; the hatred that had accumulated in her heart for many years had disappeared.

Upon arriving in the main hall, Luo Bingyan introduced him to everyone, but the Luo Family members didn't pay much attention, thinking he was just a fellow disciple of the Young Miss, and being so young, he couldn't amount to much.

Ye Bufan didn't care about others' opinions and sat quietly to the side, enjoying the peace.

After everyone was seated, Luo Wushan said, “Young Miss, you cannot leave again this time. The position of Family Head must be yours!”

Luo Wunian followed, saying, “Yes, Young Miss, in three days it will be the day of our Three Families Alliance, which happens once every hundred years.

At that time, the allocation of the Immortal Herb Valley will be decided. At this moment, we need the Young Miss to step forward and lead our Luo Family.”

Although the others standing by did not speak, their eyes were full of anticipation and longing.

The Luo Family’s current situation was not optimistic. If they were leaderless, the consequences would be unimaginable, and a new Family Head had to be re-elected.

Luo Bingyan’s strength was not the strongest in the Luo Family, but to have such cultivation at such a young age was definitely something other Luo Family disciples could not compare to.

Most importantly, she was Luo Wusheng’s only daughter, so it was only natural for her to serve as Family Head.

Luo Bingyan did not decline: “Yes, I have two purposes for returning this time. One is to take revenge and kill those evil villains.

The other is to inherit my father’s dying wish and make the Luo Family prosper.”

Seeing her agree, everyone present cheered.

Luo Bingyan waved her hand, signaling everyone to quiet down, then turned to look at Luo Wushan and the others.

“Is the Three Families Alliance day approaching?”

As a member of the Luo Family, she naturally knew about some important dates.

However, for so many years, she had been immersed in hatred, thinking only of revenge every day, and had forgotten about the Three Families Alliance.

Luo Wuyu said, “Yes, it’s in three days.”

Luo Bingyan asked, “How is the Luo Family’s situation?”

“It’s not optimistic.”

Luo Wushan shook his head: “Among our three Families, Dragon Head Mountain’s strength is the strongest, there’s no doubt about that. They took 50% of the share in the last alliance.

Even the Gu Family of Gu Family Stronghold has strength superior to our Luo Family. They took 30% of the share last time, while we only had 20%.”

Third Elder Luo Wunian sighed: “This year’s situation is even worse. The old Family Head passed away, and our strength has been greatly reduced.

As for Gu Family Stronghold, it is said they hired an Eighth-Rank Immortal Pill Master, and their strength has significantly increased.

Two of their Elders have already reached the Great Supreme Immortal Peak, and the Family Head, Gu Qianzhou, could break through to the Great Luo Immortal Realm at any time.

If that truly happens, our Luo Family might be completely wiped out in this year’s alliance, unable to even get 10%.”

Fourth Elder Luo Wulian said, “Family Head, we must find a solution quickly, otherwise the Luo Family is truly in trouble this time.

Previously, Luo Wuqian said he hired a super powerful expert with a large sum of money, but we don’t know who that person is. He had a single-line contact, and now he can’t be reached at all, so we can’t rely on him.”

When they finished speaking, all of them had solemn expressions. The crisis the Luo Family faced now was suffocating them.

Originally, the strongest person in the Luo Family was Luo Wusheng, but he had fallen. Although Luo Wuqian’s character was extremely poor, he was also at the Great Supreme Immortal Late Stage before.

Losing these two people was a severe blow to the Luo Family, greatly reducing their strength.

In contrast, the other two Families were growing stronger. In this situation, there was no chance of victory.

However, this Three Families Alliance was of great importance, concerning the Luo Family’s development for the next hundred years.

It was precisely because of this that all the Luo Family members were worried and at a loss.

Luo Bingyan, however, remained calm. After listening to the Elders, she waved her hand: “Alright, I understand this matter. You may withdraw.”

“This…”

Luo Wushan and the others' expressions changed. They had originally thought that after explaining the situation, Luo Bingyan should take it very seriously, but looking at her now, it seemed she didn't care at all.

They hesitated for a moment, and in the end, could only withdraw.

The door closed, leaving only two people in the main hall.

“Senior Brother, thank you for helping me avenge myself. From now on, Bingyan's life is yours.”

Luo Bingyan was filled with gratitude. She bent her knees, preparing to kneel, but Ye Bufan pulled her up.

“I told you not to be so polite. I am your Senior Brother. If I don't help you, who will? Besides, this is not a big deal.”

Ye Bufan said, “What is this Three Families Alliance they just mentioned?”

“It’s like this…”

Luo Bingyan began to explain, “In our celestial domain, there are three major powers: Gu Family Stronghold, Luo Family Fort, and Dragon Head Mountain.

And between us, there is a valley with abundant Spiritual Qi and countless Immortal Herbs, named Immortal Herb Valley.

Resources are the most important thing for cultivators. For this valley, the three Families fought for countless years, with innumerable casualties.

Later, the heads of the three Families felt that fighting like this was not a solution, as the casualties were too heavy, so they sat down to negotiate together.

After discussion, Immortal Herb Valley was divided into ten regions, and a Three Families Alliance would be held every hundred years, with victory determined by martial prowess.

At that time, ten arena matches would be set, and for each victory, one could obtain 10% of Immortal Herb Valley’s resources.”

This rule has continued for thousands of years, up to today.

The Luo Family was once a very strong party, but in recent millennia, their strength has continuously weakened, and now they have become the weakest of the three Families…”
