Chapter 163 The Four Major Families
The next moment the sound stone lit up, as if its owner had been holding it and waiting for news.
Di Xuanming's cold voice came through the sound transmission stone, with a hint of imperceptible anxiety, "Ali, you're back?"
Luo Li nodded with a smile, "Yeah, I just got back today."
Di Xuanming smiled lightly, his voice carrying some allure, "Can I come find you?"
Luo Li thought about it and said, "No!"
Di Xuanming's voice suddenly dropped, a hint of grievance mingling with it. "Why? I wanted to go to Wushengte to find you, but you wouldn't let me. Even after returning to the imperial capital, you still wouldn't let me."
His voice became hoarse, "We haven't seen each other for two months. Don't you miss me? I miss you every day."
Luo Li's ears turned slightly red as she whispered, "Don't give me that! I clearly sensed your presence in the Wushengte Forest."
She counted on her fingers, "Also, the noise I made destroying the dungeon was quite loud, but the people from the Tianyu Palace were so slow to notice. Even if they were careless, they wouldn't have noticed so slowly. Who else besides you could have done that?"
Even the old man Huo Cang was fooled.
Di Xuanming coughed lightly, "How did you find out?"
Luo Li tapped the bed with her fingers and said with a smile, "Anyway, I found it."
"Okay." Di Xuanming's eyes and eyebrows revealed doting, "Then when can I see you?"
Luo Li thought for a moment and said softly, "It won't be long. After the Four Clans Competition is over, I'll be free."
"Hmm, alright." Emperor Xuanming replied softly, but in his heart he was thinking that the Ancient Temple seemed to have also received an invitation to the Four Clans Competition...
As the sky gradually darkened, Luo Li fell into a deep sleep after the sound transmission stone was cut off.
This was the most comfortable night's sleep Luo Li had had in the past two months. The next morning, Luo Li sat up and stretched, feeling refreshed.
He blinked his confused eyes, got out of bed, changed his clothes, then left the yard and headed towards the martial arts training ground.
Luo Yunqi and Luo Yuanxiu were standing on the high platform of the martial arts training ground with their hands behind their backs, their calm eyes fixed on the disciples on the training ground.
"Yuan Xiu." Luo Yunqi's gaze remained fixed on the training grounds, but he asked in a deep voice, "Do you have confidence in this year's Four Clans Competition?"
Luo Yuanxiu's face was calm, but his voice was firm, "Father, this year, I will get back everything they owe me."
Luo Yunqi sighed softly, "Okay! Your father believes in you!"
"Alright!" A gentle and graceful voice came from behind, "That Nangong Yuan, I've disliked him for a long time. Big brother, please don't show any mercy!"
Luo Yunqi and Luo Yuanxiu turned around and looked, their faces lit up with joy, "Xiao Li?"
Luo Yuanxiu took two steps towards Luo Li, "Did you have a good rest?"
Luo Li blinked her clear and beautiful eyes and smiled, "You must be resting well at home."
Luo Yunqi chuckled, "Xiao Li, you're right. Although I don't take this kind of junior seriously, and he wasn't the mastermind behind that incident, he is indeed very unpleasant!"
Luo Yuanxiu raised the corner of his lips, "This time, he won't have another chance to take advantage of me."
The disciples in the martial arts training ground also noticed Luo Li's arrival and looked up and shouted, "Hello, Miss!"
Those who have been training in the martial arts field these days are all disciples who are going to participate in the Four Clans Competition. They are between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five, and there are about three hundred of them.
Luo Li took two steps forward, looked around, and said in a clear and pleasant voice, "Are you confident that you can win the championship in this year's Four Clans Competition?"
The disciples' eyes sparkled, their hearts filled with excitement. "We have confidence!"
Luo Yunqi smiled with satisfaction, stood beside Luo Li, and said loudly, "Train well!"
The disciples scratched their heads and said, "Yes!"
"I'm training hard!"
“I’m not being lazy!”
Luo Yunqi laughed out of amusement, and the seriousness on his face faded a little.
The disciples below trained even harder. Luo Yunqi watched with a smile and said,
"Xiao Li, each of these children has contracted a sacred beast you brought back. They were so excited yesterday that they would have run into your yard if we hadn't stopped them."
Luo Yuanxiu also smiled proudly, "That's right, Xiaoli, this is the Holy Beast Army that you personally assembled."
Luo Yunqi also looked at Luo Li with a gloomy expression. That's right, their Xiaoli is not a sparrow under the eaves, but a phoenix soaring in the sky. Tianyuan Continent will never be her end.
All they could do was to silently protect her from behind.
He patted Luo Li's shoulder and said, "That's right, Xiao Li, this is your sacred beast army!"
Luo Li's heart was filled with excitement, and she clenched her fist and said to herself: One day, she will also form her own power!
Thinking of the purpose of coming today, Luo Li flew off the platform and walked to the pavilion next to the martial arts training ground and sat down.
Luo Yuanxiu and Luo Yunqi followed over in confusion, "Xiao Li, what's wrong?"
Luo Li waved her hand, and a cup of tea appeared on the table. "I came here today mainly to learn about the other three families. Uncle, brother, please sit down and tell me."
Luo Yunqi and Luo Yuanxiu were stunned for a moment after hearing this, then they smiled and sat down, "Okay!"
Luo Yunqi took a sip of tea and said, "The four major families of the Longyue Empire are the Nangong family, the Mo family, the Mu family, and the Luo family. The status of the four major families was established a thousand years ago."
"Among them, the Nangong and Mu families have a very close relationship. Similarly, we have always had a good relationship with the Mo family. In recent decades, the Nangong family has consistently held the top spot among the four clans, with the Mo family following closely behind in second place. Therefore, there is now a balanced and restraining relationship between the four clans."
Luo Li took a sip of tea, thoughtfully saying, "It's precisely because the Mo family has a good relationship with us that the Nangong family doesn't dare to act rashly against the Luo family. Are they afraid that the Mo family will be caught by surprise?"
Luo Yunqi smiled and nodded, then continued, "That's right."
"The Nangong family has risen rapidly in recent decades. In the past two years, their momentum has completely overwhelmed the Mo family. Not to mention the Mu family, which is almost becoming a subsidiary of the Nangong family."
"The current strength of the Nangong family is also very terrifying. Just talking about the elders of the main family, there are nearly 3,000 of them. Each one is as powerful as a Spiritual Sect, not to mention the Spiritual Emperors and Spiritual Kings below them, who are countless."
Luo Li was slightly shocked when she heard these numbers for the first time. The current leader of the four clans was indeed not a false title.
Luo Yunqi also sighed softly, "If it weren't for you, Xiaoli, returning to the clan, this year, compared to previous years, we would probably only be able to surpass the Mu family and compete with the Mo family for second place."
The Luo family did enter a trough period a few years ago, but it has also been developing positively in recent years and is more than enough to surpass the Mu family.
Luo Li thought for a moment and said, "Oh right, this year's Four Clans Competition, is it possible that we have to go to the Nangong Clan's headquarters?"
Luo Yunqi looked back in surprise, then patted his head as if he had thought of something. "Look at me, I forgot to tell you that the Four Clans Competition will not be held in any one clan. Instead, it will be held at the War God Tower, which was built by the ancestors of the four clans at the beginning of their establishment."
Luo Li was a little surprised, "The God of War Tower?"
She knew that the War God Tower was built in the center of the imperial capital. It was extremely large and could easily accommodate a million people, but she always thought it belonged to the Longyue royal family.
It turned out that the huge building built in the center of the imperial capital did not belong to the Longyue royal family.
Luo Yunqi nodded. "The ancestors of the four major families accompanied the founding emperor of Longyue in his campaigns, never losing a single battle. After the Longyue Empire was established, the founding emperor divided a large area in the center among the four families, allowing them to control it as they pleased."
"Our ancestors used their own strength to build the War God Tower as a training ground for the young men of the four tribes. Moreover, the concentration of spiritual energy inside is many times higher than outside!"
Luo Li held her chin with one hand, "Isn't that just an enlarged version of the Seven Star Tower?"
Luo Yunqi chuckled, "That's not wrong!"
"Oh right," Luo Yuanxiu asked curiously, "Rumor has it that the ancestors of the four clans and the founding emperors were all Divine Kings. Is that true?"
Luo Yunqi pondered for two seconds and said, "Although it has not been confirmed, based on records from various sources, it is highly likely to be true."
Luo Li took a deep breath, "I didn't expect that the ancestor of the four tribes would be a God King!"
Luo Yunqi then told Luo Li about the specific situations of the other three tribes. Luo Li had a pretty good understanding of them, so she stood up and said, "I'm going back first. I'll come out on the day of the Four Tribes Competition!"
Luo Yunqi and Luo Yuanxiu nodded immediately, "Okay, let's go back."
