Chapter 68: The Disaster of Human Greed
What Princess Luo didn't know was that she was not the only one who was opposed to this marriage.
At this moment in the Suhe family's territory, Suhe Ji Ming frowned and listened to his father's proposal with resistance on his face.
The head of the Suhe family naturally did not miss his son's expression, but he said with a stern face: "Don't rush to refuse. You know your current physical condition. Even though your body is now well and you can practice normally. But you are born weak, so compared with others, your practice is twice as effective as others."
"Ji Ming, do you know that your eldest cousin is now in the middle stage of foundation building?"
After hearing these words, Su and Ji Ming pursed their lips and turned pale.
He was born weak, and it was very difficult for him to stay alive, so naturally no one dared to let him practice.
But while Su Heji Ming was taking bitter medicine to recuperate, his cousin became a genius praised by everyone, and his cultivation level kept improving.
Even though Su Heji Ming is in good health now, he is still many years behind his cousins, and some of his cousins even have higher cultivation levels than him.
Unfortunately, Su He and Ji Ming's talent for cultivation is not very good. Even if he wants to catch up with his cousin very much, he probably can't do it with his own efforts.
Su He and Ji Ming were clearly aware of this, but they were still unwilling in their hearts: "But father, what does this have to do with my marriage to Princess Luo?"
He had met Princess Luo on the Sunrise Peak.
Princess Luo was not ugly, and could even be said to be pretty. But she had a savage personality and was not someone who was easy to get along with.
Su He Ji Ming doesn't like girls like this. He prefers girls who are gentle and obedient to him.
Come to think of it, the female cultivator he met at the foot of the Sun Peak that day actually had a face that was very much to his liking.
If it weren't for that female cultivator being so crazy, and if the two hadn't met at the wrong time, perhaps Su and Ji Ming would have really had the leisure and elegance to interact with each other.
The thought in his mind passed in an instant, and the voice of the head of the Suhe family sounded again: "We will choose such a wife for you, which will naturally be of great help to your cultivation. The women of the Luo family inherited the power of the ancient feather tribe. If you form a Taoist partner with them, your cultivation speed will be several times faster than that of ordinary single spiritual roots!"
Su Heji Ming's eyelashes trembled. Even though he had no good feelings towards Princess Luo, he couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this.
"Dad, is what you said true? But if the Luo Jurchens had this ability, how could they not be coveted by other cultivators?" Su Heji Ming was a little excited, but still had some doubts in his heart.
Patriarch Suhe said, "This is how clever the daughters of the Luo family are. Their ancestors initially concealed this secret, and then built Yuxing City, making it a refuge for the daughters of the Luo family."
“I don’t know how the first city lord built the city, but as long as the Luo family women are in the city, no one can harm them.”
"Later, a girl from the Luo family leaked the secret in order to please her lover. As a result, she got her lover, but it also brought disaster to all the girls from the Luo family..."
As the head of the Suhe family spoke, Suhe and Ji Ming seemed to see a tragic period of time thousands of years ago that was condensed with the blood and tears of the Luo family women.
The Luo girls who were traveling outside were caught off guard when their biggest secret was revealed. They didn't even have time to return to Yuxing City to seek refuge before they were captured by various forces.
The Luo women were also powerful representatives, but under the siege of so many monks, they were ultimately outnumbered and eventually fell into the hands of the enemy.
But they are descendants of the Feather Tribe, born with an indomitable spirit and a yearning for freedom.
Therefore, the captured Luo girl did not allow herself to be bullied by these monks, but committed suicide as soon as she was captured.
As the Luo women committed suicide one after another, the monks who took action had no choice but to change their strategy. They had to either persuade the Luo women with gentle words or use other methods to make them lose their ability to move.
The former failed, and another group of Luo women committed suicide.
Although the latter was successful, the effect of the practice was far inferior to what was rumored.
Not only that, the then Lord of Yuxing City soon got the news. She blocked the city gates and went out of the city with a sword in hand to rescue her people.
The girl from the Luo family who leaked the secret was the first to be found by the city lord. Even though she was pregnant at that time and begged the city lord desperately, the city lord did not let her go and killed the girl from the Luo family who betrayed her clan on the spot.
The rest of the Luo family girls were also found one by one by the city lord using special methods, and those monks who captured and imprisoned the Luo family girls were all killed by the city lord's sword without exception.
However, the captured Luo girls either committed suicide or were too seriously injured to be saved.
That month was terrifying and bloody for the entire cultivation world.
No one could have imagined that a woman could be so powerful that she not only massacred several major clans, but also killed nearly a thousand people in just a few dozen days!
There were many powerful people among them, and even multiple forces united to eliminate the city lord, but not only did they fail to hurt the other party, they also ruined their own reputation in vain.
"During that month, the wind in the entire cultivation world carried a smell of blood." The head of the Suhe family sighed.
In fact, if those cultivation families hadn't been so foolish as to touch the daughter of the Luo family, their Suhe clan would still be suppressed and wouldn't have developed to where they are today.
"That massacre was called the 'Calamity of Human Greed'. Everyone said it was a disaster caused by greed. Luo Duanjin made Yuxing City famous because of it, and since then no one dared to attack the women of the Luo family."
"However, the Luo clan's women, who were originally few in number, were mostly lost in this disaster, and are even rarer now."
If it weren't for the fact that he had what Luo Pingge needed in his hands, the head of the Suhe family would not dare to have any thoughts about the daughter of the Luo family.
If he were to say, it was fortunate that Su and Ji Ming were his sons that such a good opportunity fell into the hands of this kid. Otherwise, how could it have fallen into the hands of this kid?
But he acted reluctant, which made Su He, the head of the family, very angry.
"Think about it carefully. Is the position of the head of the Suhe family and your future path of cultivation more important, or is your personal likes and dislikes more important?" After saying this, the head of the Suhe family patted his son on the shoulder and turned to leave.
Su Heji Ming, who was left there, had changing expressions on his face, showing how much he was struggling in his heart. He had no idea that he had no say in this marriage.
Xie Liuyin, who was far away in Qingxiao Sect, had no idea that his friend, who had just separated from him, was about to follow the old path of his previous life.
She held Mo Que in her hand and stepped into the sword formation. The entrance to the sword formation behind her closed instantly, as if they were worried that she would escape.
Xie Liuyin exhaled heavily and said to the sword spirit: "Let's go and have a good fight with our master!"
The Mo Que sword hummed, as if it couldn't wait any longer.
Time flies, and a few months pass by like running water.
The sword energy emanating from the sword formation was more and more ferocious. One level, two levels, three levels... one level after another was broken through by Xie Liuyin and Mo Quejian. Even Ah Liu, who was guarding outside the sword formation, was amazed at the speed of breaking the formation.
In the midst of such extremely urgent training, the Juelan Secret Realm is finally about to be officially opened.
