Chapter 133: Chapter 96: The Fall of the Ding Family Patriarch, The Demise of the Five Towns Alliance_2
And this time, it seemed Ding Qianqiu was not as lucky as before.

Under the thundering column of light composed of two hundred stacked Thunderstrike Talismans,

Ding Qianqiu’s body turned directly into flying ash.

Slowly dissipating into the void.

…

“I was hoping to economize their usage,”

“but I didn’t expect to end up using all three hundred Thunderstrike Talismans…”

Luo Yong silently walked towards the direction where Ding Qianqiu had fallen.

However, when he arrived at the spot where Ding Qianqiu had died,

he discovered a charred, damaged sphere lying quietly on the ground.

“What’s this?”

“How could this thing maintain its form under an assault from three hundred Thunderstrike Talismans?”

“Might as well take it back for Patriarch Changfeng to have a look…”

After murmuring to himself,

Luo Yong returned to the military camp.

What followed was much simpler.

With the Ding Family ancestors dead, it was time for the Luo Family to harvest the fruits of victory.

…

Outside East Earth Town,

within a military camp,

Luo Yong was fiddling with the charred sphere in his hand, teasing Tang Jian in a low voice beside him,

“You ran quite fast just now!”

“I didn’t even say anything, and you took off?”

Upon hearing this, Tang Jian quietly waved his White Feather Fan, his expression was still very calm as he replied, “When Viscera Refinement cultivators fight, those in the Bone Refinement Realm suffer. If I hadn’t run earlier, you might not ever see me again, would you?”

Luo Yong nodded silently.

There seemed to be some truth in what this sly Tang Jian said.

Initial Realm of Viscera Refinement, though only one realm higher than Bone Refinement Perfection,

the gap between Viscera Refinement and Bone Refinement was substantial.

Only those who truly reached the Organ Refinement Realm knew

the distance between Viscera Refinement and Bone Refinement.

“Earlier, when you said something was off about East Earth Town, you meant the Initial Realm Viscera Refinement Ding Family ancestor, didn’t you?”

Waving his White Feather Fan, Tang Jian replied in a low voice, “It’s probably that Ding Family ancestor…”

“Hey, by the way.”

“Do you know what this sphere is?”

“It managed to withstand the damage from three hundred Thunderstrike Talismans created by Patriarch Changfeng.”

“It’s almost unbelievable…”

After shaking the sphere in front of Tang Jian, Luo Yong asked.

“This object…” Tang Jian narrowed his eyes slightly; after pondering for a while, he gave a somewhat serious answer: “It seems to be a lower Yellow Grade spiritual artifact, capable of withstanding a full-force strike from someone at the Pefection level of Viscera Refinement; I just don’t know where the Ding Family ancestor acquired it from.”

“A lower Yellow Grade spiritual artifact?”

Hearing this, Luo Yong couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

If that was the case, then this item was a treasure!

Spiritual artifacts were not something an ordinary cultivator could handle.

Even the current Luo Family didn’t possess a single spiritual artifact.

Oh, that’s not quite right.

If the lower Yellow Grade Furnace Cauldron in the hands of their ancestor was considered a spiritual artifact,

then the Luo Family did indeed possess one.

“When I get back, I’ll show this thing to Patriarch Changfeng…”

Thinking thus,

Luo Yong then silently made his way outside the tent.

At this moment, the war between the Luo Family and East Earth Town continued.

Overall, the Luo Family firmly held an absolute advantage, while East Earth Town was resisting with all its might.

But it looked like,

if nothing unexpected happened, in at most three days,

the people of East Earth Town would not be able to hold on any longer.

On one hand, the so-called Five Towns Alliance was boasting of its participation.

On the other hand, it was a mere flock of motley crowds.

Their cohesion was forced solely by the fearsome cultivation of the Ding Family ancestor.

If the Ding Family ancestor were alive, that would be one thing.

But if the Ding Family ancestor had fallen,

this so-called Five Towns Alliance would likely disintegrate in an instant.

“After fighting for so long, this war should come to an end…”

Outside the military camp, Luo Yong mumbled to himself,

then swiftly approached the direction of East Earth Town.

With the Ding Family ancestor gone,

the Five Towns Alliance of East Earth Town no longer had any means to withstand the Luo Family’s advance.

Therefore, Luo Yong planned to personally enter the battlefield,

to personally put an end to both the Ding Family and the so-called Five Towns Alliance.

…

At dusk, the setting sun dipped low.

The golden afterglow of the sunset spread across the land.

Within East Earth Town, the Ding Family’s council hall,

Luo Yong, as the commander of the Luo Family army, sat casually in the seat of honor.

In front of him sat many Family Heads.

It was evident that the notables of the five towns, and the heads of the major families, were all bowing their heads,

their faces filled with fear and trepidation, and they didn’t even dare to take a deep breath.

“Brother Tang, what do you think should be done with the people of the Five Towns Alliance?”

“Should they be punished and that will be the end of it?”

“Or should we perform a clean sweep, leaving none behind?”

After a long silence in the council hall,

Luo Yong, sitting in the seat of honor, suddenly turned his head

and asked Tang Jian beside him, who was wearing a Taoist robe and holding a White Feather Fan in his hand.
