If one does not act for oneself, heaven will punish and earth will annihilate.
Luo Chengkong's eyes flickered, because he had thought of a solution!
He couldn't possibly confront Hong Biao alone. He couldn't rely on Xiao Meifeng's character to handle Hong Biao, could he?
Xiao Meifeng is Hong Biao's aunt. What if she silences him if he reports to her?
Luo Chengkong saw his terrified juniors, pale-faced and frightened by Hong Biao, and he felt even more uneasy.
Weakness is a sin. The juniors of his Luo family are being bullied and humiliated by this scum, Hong Biao. He can only watch and endure being pointed at by Hong Biao, being called a dog!
Although he is used to being the mayor and has to be deferential in front of many important figures, he has never been humiliated like this before!
Therefore, Luo Chengkong decided that he must find external help.
And this help comes from the other families in Great Harmony Town, the three major families: An, Liu, and Wang.
Luo Chengkong doesn't want to harm the An family and the other families, but he knows that families like the Liu and Wang families also have connections in Cottonwood City.
These connections may include people related to the cultivation sects.
Indeed, Hong Biao is much stronger than him, but so what?
Hong Biao is only a second-level Qi Refining Stage cultivator in the Immortal Cultivation World, which is considered low-level.
Even Xiao Meifeng, who is currently in charge of this area according to the information Luo Chengkong obtained from Hong Biao, has not reached the Foundation Building Stage and is only at the fifth level of Qi Refining Stage.
So, there may be other opportunities.
Luo Chengkong apologizes in his heart to the An family and the other three families.
I'm sorry, fellow Daoists, but I won't let myself die!
Seeing Hong Biao frowning, Luo Chengkong continues to explain.
"Our Luo family moved to Great Harmony Town wh I became the mayor. The environment shapes th people. The major families that were originally stationed here are all martial artists, martial dao families. Their junior girls are all very beautiful.
If I really go to find beauties for you, Immortal, I can only go to their families... but... some of them are much stronger than me, and I'm afraid... I'm afraid I won't succeed."
As soon as Luo Chengkong finished speaking, Hong Biao stood up with a bang, his eyes revealing a hint of lust.
Just by looking at him, Luo Chengkong knew that Hong Biao had ulterior motives. The burning desire in his eyes was like flames!
At the same time, he curled his lips, showing a hint of disdain, and laughed at Luo Chengkong, squinting his eyes slightly.
Then, he picked up a wine glass and threw it towards Luo Chengkong.
Luo Chengkong didn't dare to dodge and could only take the wine glass head-on.
The wine glass hit his forehead with a bang, causing blood to flow.
"You want to deceive me in front of me, huh?
Hehehe, not to mention Great Harmony Town, even in Cottonwood City, so what? Even if I can't do it, with the reputation of my aunt, who dares not to listen to me?
Let me enjoy first, and then you can go to those so-called major families and prepare the beauties. If they don't comply..."
Speaking of this, Hong Biao's eyes turned cold and a murderous intent emerged.
"That's just asking for death! In front of cultivators, ordinary people are all ants. Now get lost and spread my orders."
Hong Biao sat down again, and Luo Chengkong nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, okay."
At the same time, he cursed inwardly. This Hong Biao is a lunatic, always either hitting or scolding him.
Hong Biao's actions also frightened the eight young women from the Luo family, their souls trembling and cold sweat pouring out.
Hong Biao said to one of them, "Go to the pavilion.
Hong Biao said to one of them, "Go to the pavilion behind and bring me a few more wine cups. You
serve me the wine. I want it warm, not with anything else, just use your cherry-like mouths to warm it up for me. And these fruits, take a bite first, then feed me, hehehe..."
As Hong Biao spoke like this, a lewd and evil expression appeared on his face.
That appearance made the eight young women from the Luo family even more unbearable.
But trembling with fear, they could only do as they were told.
Hong Biao stretched out his hands, and suddenly, a burst of energy flashed, forming hand-like shapes on his hands, directly pulling two of the Luo family beauties to his side and embracing them.
Looking at their unhappy faces, Hong Biao frowned and said, "Smile for me, or... there will be many lives lost in my hands."
"Now there are demons appearing in Great Harmony Town, and those demons were released by me."
"What?"
One of the Luo family womenwidened her eyes and asked subconsciously.
But immediately after, Hong Biao slapped her cheek hard, and instantly, her beautiful face swelled up.
Hong Biao chuckled, "Did I ask you to speak? Go fetch the basin of foot-washing water and kneel down to wash my feet."
It turned out that a demon that killed Chang Yuanwai appeared in Great Harmony Town, and it was released by Hong Biao!
Enjoying the service of the eight Luo family beauties, Hong Biao looked extremely satisfied and continued to speak.
"That demon is a Huapi demon. Only cultivators like me can defeat it. Ordinary mortals, even someone like Luo Chengkong from your Luo family, a top-notch expert at the First Layer of the acquired realm, or even a Martial Dao Grandmaster, would be defeated by the Huapi demon."
"Let the Huapi demon cause chaos outside Great Harmony Town first, and see who dares to defy me and not contribute good things to me. Hehehe... Serve me quickly, or else you'll understand the consequences!"After all, your elder Luo Chengkong is dispensable. As long as the Huapi demon brings me good things, what do I have to worry about?"
With one sentence, goosebumps appeared on the bodies of the eight Luo family beauties.
It turned out that a demon appeared in Great Harmony Town, and it was released by Hong Biao himself, all for the purpose of causing chaos.
Even if Luo Chengkong didn't obey, the Huapi demon could still bring various good things to Hong Biao.
Money, wealth, and beautiful women.
There might even be some rare treasures!
This Hong Biao is not just an empty vessel, but rather has high intelligence!
After Luo Chengkong came out, he returned to the Luo residence.
It was already midnight.
When he heard the report from his subordinates, An Yingxiong's expression turned unpleasant. After Liu Feng, Wang Qiang, and An Yingxiong came to the Luo family to look for him, Luo Chengkong thought that An Yingxiong was coming to hold him accountable.
Just as he sat down, his subordinate immediately rushed in anxiously.
Mayor, there is a monster in Great Harmony Town.
That monster has already sucked out all of Chang Yuanwai's brain fluid, and the entire Chang family has been killed, including the infants! According to many reports, that monster seems to have a human form and moves incredibly fast.
Judging by its speed, it seems to be even stronger than a Martial Dao Grandmaster.
Mayor, what should we do about this?"
"By the way, Mayor, it seems that An Yingxiong and the others, the heads of the families, have come to find you to discuss this matter. Someone from the An family has contacted me."
This subordinate is the leader of the Great Harmony Town patrol, with a cultivation level slightly lower than Luo Chengkong's, but still quite strong.
Listening to the report from his subordinate, Luo Chengkong stood up with a bang. "How could this happen?"
Luo Chengkong originally intended to find Hong Biao to deal with this matter.
After all, according to the report from his subordinate, although the monster had a human form and was not huge, its strange speed would definitely cause a series of bloodshed in Great Harmony Town.
Faced with such a monster, he was simply no match!
Even Martial Dao Grandmaster An Yingxiong probably wouldn't be able to defeat the monster. Only by finding the cultivator Hong Biao or Xiao Meifeng could they kill it.
Just as Luo Chengkong stood up to leave, he suddenly shook his head. Going to find Hong Biao now would be asking for humiliation.
Hong Biao would not allow him to enter the Huangshi Forest and find the fairy Xiao Meifeng.
Based on his appearance, it was estimated that he couldn't exterminate the monster!
In bitterness, Luo Chengkong stopped in his tracks and slowly sat back down on the chair.
The leader of the Great Harmony Town patrol was stunned.
Luo Chengkong waved his hand. "Forget it, forget it, let's not worry about this matter for now. We can't handle it."
Speaking of which, Luo Chengkong thought of something else. "By the way, has anything happened at the An family today?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the subordinates who had been puzzled all showed expressions of shock and reminiscence.
In addition to the leader of the patrol, there were also some people from the Luo family.
They had been waiting for Luo Chengkong to come over, and even people from other government offices were there.
After all, the matter of the monster was too important, and they also wanted to discuss countermeasures with Luo Chengkong.
Listening to Luo Chengkong's words, before the leader of the patrol could speak, the others immediately started talking, revealing what had happened.
"Something big really happened at the An family. An Yingxiong's grandson, Lin Yi, displayed great power today. He is actually a Martial Dao Grandmaster and even broke the arm of the so-called Heavenly Elder Martial Dao Grandmaster, a master alchemist, with just one move!"
"Yes, yes, not only is he a Martial Dao Grandmaster, but also an alchemist. And that's not all, at that time... at that time, there were leaks of aura from Lin Yi's body.Those auras even formed into strands of sword energy. The combination of those sword radiance strands seemed capable of killing a person each. It's too powerful, really too powerful!"
"And that's not the most explosive part. I heard that Lin Yi is highly likely to have a Spirit Root and could become an immortal cultivator. Moreover, he is exceptionally handsome.
By the way, he has also married three wives. Despite having hundreds or even thousands of people wanting to marry him, Lin Yi only chose three wives: Wang Yuran from the Wang family, Liu Zhixuan from the Liu family, and a common peasant girl named Jiang Mingyue."
"I envy him so much, really envy him. Unfortunately, our Luo family..."
The people from the Luo family stopped talking, and the atmosphere became extremely quiet.
They stopped talking, but someone else spoke up. Some of these Luo family members had a higher seniority than Luo Chengkong.
And what they said was derogatory towards the An family and the other two major families.
"Yes, indeed, he married three wives.
And I heard that those two families acted extremely unscrupulously.
Ha ha ha, it's simply a disgrace to the Liu and Wang families.
They actually sent their own female clan members to the An family without even getting married yet, without any wedding banquet.
They didn't care about their face at all!"
"I think so too, ha ha ha. Isn't it just to bind An Yingxiong? Isn't it just to get this young man? It's really disgusting!"
However, although these guys were saying it was disgusting, their eyes revealed envy.
There is no doubt that Lin Yi, at such a young age, is already a Martial Dao Grandmaster, and it is said that he may have a Spirit Root. Who wouldn't want to marry their own children or acquaintances' eligible women to Lin Yi?
Unfortunately, Luo Chengkong didn't do any of these things. He didn't attend the family banquet this time, nor did he give the Luo family this opportunity.
On the surface, they were reprimanding the Liu and Wang families for being shameless, but in reality, these people were looking at Luo Chengkong with dissatisfaction!
These people didn't know that Xiao Meifeng and Hong Biao came to find Luo Chengkong. Otherwise, when they realized they had missed the chance to have a potential son-in-law who could become an immortal cultivator, their hatred towards Luo Chengkong would be even greater.
With just a few words, everyone's discussions became lively. Luo Chengkong immediately understood. Now, the An family, the Liu family, and the Wang family are in a complete alliance.
What surprised him the most was that the rumors about An Yingxiong having a problem with his brain were false, and Lin Yi was indeed a talented young man.
Luo Chengkong was stunned.
Many people around noticed that Luo Chengkong's face didn't look good, so everyone stopped talking.
Although many of those who were discussing earlier were elders of the Luo family, in the end, Luo Chengkong, as the mayor of Great Harmony Town, had the final say.
Bang!
Luo Chengkong slammed the table, "This must be done! The Luo family must marry our daughters to the An family. Let the daughters of the Luo family become Lin Yi's wives. This must be done!
Quickly, bring all the eligible women from the Luo family to the An family, quickly!"
Luo Chengkong was so excited and had an unpleasant expression because he realized that what he did today was wrong, terribly wrong!
Although he didn't have any ill intentions towards the An family and the Liu and Wang families, in the end, he wanted to shift the hatred and conflicts.
And now, there was a bright future right in front of him!
