Chapter 57: The Powerful Udumbara Clan

  "Hiss..."

  The entire hall was filled with the sound of gasps, Zhao Tianbo and Hua Taigi's eyes were full of incredulity and disbelief. Feng Wuxie looked at Xu Hua's dazzling eyes, revealing a faint evil smile.

  "Brother Xu has great guts! Single-handedly resisting many strong opponents, we two are no match for him!"

  Xu Hua shook his head and said, "If I hadn't been forced to do so, I wouldn't have wanted to either. However, if it weren't for this, perhaps I wouldn't have hidden in the Taihang Mountains, and perhaps I wouldn't have met Feng Xiong, Zhao Xiong, and Hua Xiong."

  "One drink, one peck, everything in life is like this!" Feng Wuxie sighed.

  Just then, Xiao Bai's voice came from outside the house, "Young master, I'm back." Immediately after that, he pushed open the door and entered, it was indeed Xiao Bai and Hei Pao.

  After entering, Hei Pao softly said "Young Master" to Xuhua, then stood aside.

  Xiao Bai said to Zhao Tianbo and Hua Taigi: "So it's Master Zhao and Master Hua who have arrived."

  The two of them nodded at Xiaobai in unison. Feng Wuxie said to him, "Go take a bath and change your clothes, you're covered in blood."

  Xiao Bai's white clothes clearly showed a large patch of bloodstains, while his own black robe didn't show any.

  "Xu brother, I don't know if you want us to support you or if you'd rather just stay in Qing City. Generally speaking, people from Luo City won't come to Qing City."

  "No need to stay in Qingcheng, I plan to stay in the Taihang Mountains for now, it's a great place to cultivate. As for resources, I do need some, and I have some subordinates, so resources won't be a problem. Later, I'll let Hei Pao and Feng brother get in touch." Xu Hua pointed at Hei Pao.

  Several people chatted for a long time, and then Feng Wuxie took Xu Hua and the others to stroll around the entire Luoyue Town. Luoyue Town was indeed extraordinary, not only was it much larger than Qing Shan Town, but Xu Hua also felt a lot of powerful life energy, these people were all strong martial arts masters, just this could show how extraordinary Luoyue Town was.

  After staying in Luoyue Town for one night, Xu Hua and Hei Pao left because they had more important things to attend to.

  Watching Xu Hua's receding back, Feng Wuxie was slightly distracted. Xiao Bai said beside him: "Xu Gongzi is indeed extraordinary, and even the person by his side is extraordinary."

  Feng Wuxie smiled and said: "Perhaps in the future, he will surprise many people." Then he said again: "Go back, the current situation is not very optimistic."

  ……

  Outside Luocheng, at the edge of the Taihang Mountains, several men wearing black armor gathered together, and then another person came from afar.

  "Reporting to several seniors, I just received news that the target has appeared in Luoyue Town of Qingcheng." The man approached and immediately knelt down on one knee.

  Among several men wearing black armor, someone immediately said: "It turns out that the kid actually went to Qing City, no wonder we couldn't find his whereabouts."

  "Now that we know his whereabouts, let's hurry up and kill him, then go back and report!"

  "I also want to know just how strong this young man is who killed the seventh elder of the Luo Sect!"

  A group of people quickly headed to Luoyue Town, and it had to be said that the power of the Luo Sheng Sect was indeed very strong, as they were even able to obtain news from Qingcheng. However, the outcome would clearly disappoint them, after all, Xu Hua had already left Luoyue Town by now.

  In Luocheng, the city lord's mansion, Wu Ding Hao had not received any news from Gai Lao for a month, making him think that Gai Lao might have encountered danger.

  "Damn it, Xu Hua, are you really that strong?! I don't believe it!" At this moment, he was filled with shock and his face was twisted in a scowl. Originally, he thought Xu Hua was just a small-time player with some talent, but now it seemed his judgment had been wrong!

  "Third Master, the Old Master is calling for you." Just then, the voice of the steward suddenly came from outside the house.

  "How could Father summon me at this time." Wu Ding felt a bit puzzled in his heart. He opened the door and immediately greeted the butler, "Ta Shu."

  "Third Master, hurry up and go over, don't let the old master wait, Eldest Master and Young Miss have also gone over." This butler called Ta Shu is not simple at all, even people of their generation in the Wu Ding clan must show some respect when they see him.

  "I'm going right now."

  When Wu Ding Hao Ran arrived, his elder brother Wu Ding Cheng Feng and younger sister Wu Ding Yue Lu were already there. Except for the second brother who was traveling outside, this was a rare gathering of their family of five.

  "Father, I'm here." Wu Ding Hao Ran looked at the middle-aged man who looked exceptionally handsome sitting in the main seat, then looked at the other two and said: "Big brother, little sister, how have you been lately?"

  The two did not respond, Wu Dingwen looked at them and said: "If you've come, then sit down!"

  After Wu Ding sat down, Wu Ding Wenqiang continued to say to him: "This recent thing is your doing, right?"

  Wu Ding Wenqiang, as the lord of Luo City, had a grasp on intelligence that no one was clear about. Wu Ding Hao Ran naturally didn't think to hide it from him and said: "Yes, Niu Dajie is planning to surrender to me, but he has only one condition - to kill Xu Hua."

  "Third brother, do you also want this foolish goods like Niu Daqi?" Wu Dingwen spoke strongly, showing extreme disdain. In his eyes, among the younger generation of the Niu family, Niu Daqi was the most unbearable.

  Wu Ding Hao Ran smiled faintly and said, "Big brother, I don't have your skills, and I can't manage that many things. As long as they can be used by me, I don't care if they're idiots or fools."

  Wu Ding Yue Lu remained silent on the side, quietly watching the two argue, until Wu Ding Wen finally interrupted them and said to Wu Ding Hao Ran: "You did a good job with this matter, I plan to put the Xuan Army under your command."

  Everyone was shocked by this remark. Wu Ding Yue Lu slightly revealed a look of surprise and then regained her composure. Wu Ding Hao Ran was extremely delighted, as this was too unexpected for him. However, Wu Ding Cheng Feng was incredulous and even angrily asked, "Father! Why?"

  "Thank you, Father." Wu Ding Hao Ran immediately took the Xuan Jun Hu Fu handed to him by Wu Ding Wen Qiang, excited and slightly trembling.

  Wu Ding Wenqiang looked at Wu Ding Chengfeng and said, "Whether it was intentional or unintentional, this time Haoran has made a contribution to the Wu Ding clan. This reward is given by the elders, not something you can block."

  As soon as he heard that it was decided by the elders of the clan, Wu Ding Chengfeng did not dare to have any dissatisfaction. After all, the elders of the Wu Ding clan were at least strong warriors who had reached the peak of martial arts and were about to enter the realm of martial arts, even if Wu Ding Wenqiang, as the lord of the city, was inferior to these elders in terms of status.

  "Father, you didn't call us here just to watch Third Brother receive his reward, did you?" Udumon suddenly spoke up.

  "This time I'm telling you mainly to let you know that our Wu Ding family will be taking action soon, so you can mentally prepare. If you can stir up trouble in Luo City and make it a mess, that's even better. Also, the Luo Sheng faction has already become an ally of ours, so you can all keep in touch with each other. As for the other three families, if you have the ability to win some people over, that's fine too."

  The long-silent Wu Ding is about to take action, and if this news gets out, it will inevitably trigger a storm.

  "Are the elders really going to take action against the Niu, Xu and Mingyang Sects? It's just that taking on three major forces at once might be a bit too much pressure!" Wu Ding was still somewhat puzzled.

  Wu Dingwen smiled and shook his head: "It's time for you to know some things, you still don't understand Wu Ding clan well enough."

  "My Wu Ding clan existed before the founding of Song, and when Song was founded, we followed the founding monarch to conquer the south and north, making great contributions. After the founding of the country, my Wu Ding clan was appointed as the hereditary lord of Luo City. The depth and strength of my Wu Ding clan are not comparable to those of Niu, Xu, or Mingyang sects, which were established after the founding of the country. If it's just Niu, Chen, and Mingyang sects, it wouldn't be difficult for my Wu Ding clan to destroy them."

  All three were shocked, hearing for the first time that Wu Ding was so formidable, overturning their previous understanding. Wu Ding Yue Lü continued, "Then why should my Wu Ding clan still tolerate these forces? Is there a powerful force in Luo City that we don't know about?"

  "Of course, in fact, the three major forces are not even considered the masters of Luocheng. The master of Luocheng has always been only two, I am Wuding and also Chengtanggu!" Wu Ding said with great pride.

  "Cheng Tang Valley? How can it be Cheng Tang Valley?! The previous master of Cheng Tang Valley has already passed away, and the current Northern Cheng Tang is only eighteen years old, what does that mean to me, Wu Ding clan!" Wu Ding Cheng Feng found it hard to believe that Cheng Tang Valley had surpassed the power of those three major forces.

  "You know too little about Chengtang Valley, this ancient power is even older than my Udumbara Clan. Its strength is beyond your imagination. My Udumbara Clan has always been low-key because of the existence of Chengtang Valley. If the previous valley master was still around, not even the royal family would dare to underestimate it."

  "Do you think there is only one person in Chengtang Valley?"

  "Isn't that so? Is the title of Cheng Tang Du Gu just a mere formality?" For a long time, most people in Luo City knew about the three great eccentrics: Cheng Tang Du Gu, Xi Chu Jian Zong, and Luo Shui Jia Ren. Now, suddenly saying that Cheng Tang Du Gu is not one person makes it difficult for them to accept immediately.

  "You've all been deceived by this title, 'Cheng Tang Gu' is not wrong, but Cheng Tang Valley is not a person, Cheng Tang Gu represents the orthodox of Cheng Tang Valley, and there can only be one master of the valley at any given time. However, within Cheng Tang Valley, there are also many servants of the valley master, among whom there are also many strong individuals."

  "If it weren't for the protection of the strong among them, our Udong clan would have killed Beichengtang long ago when the previous Chengtang Valley Master passed away, and he wouldn't be alive until now."

  "Why then, now I, Wu Ding, have to take action again?" Wu Ding asked.
