Chapter 670 The Netherworld Messenger?

He knew the ambition of the Netherworld Cult and understood that their so-called "support" was not unconditional help.

He was about to open his mouth to refute, but Luo Yunfeng gently patted his shoulder, signaling him to stay calm.

Luo Yunfeng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "The words of the Netherworld Messenger will be seriously considered by this city lord, but please remember that Qingshi City is the root of the Luo family and the home of countless people."

"We will never sacrifice the peace of Qingshi City for the benefit of anyone."

The Netherworld Messenger smiled slightly, and seemed to be quite satisfied with Luo Yunfeng's answer.

"The City Lord is indeed very righteous. The Netherworld Cult looks forward to establishing a closer relationship with Qingshi City."

"Let's stop with today's affairs."

"Goodbye."

After that, the Netherworld Messenger flashed and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Only shock and discussion echoed in the banquet hall.

Luo Yao looked at the direction where the Netherworld Messenger disappeared, and his heart was full of worries.

He knew that although the crisis was temporarily resolved, a bigger storm might be brewing.

He secretly made up his mind to work hard to improve his cultivation and protect Qingshi City and the people in the city.

The celebration banquet continued, but the atmosphere was not as good as before.

Everyone prayed silently in their hearts, hoping that Qingshi City could safely survive the coming storm.

As time went by, Luo Yao's worries did not dissipate with the end of the celebration banquet, but became heavier like a dark cloud.

He knew that the power of the Netherworld Divine Religion should not be underestimated. Their ambitions were like an abyss, and once they fell into it, they would be difficult to extricate themselves.

For the future of Qingshi City, he must plan ahead and make full preparations.

After the celebration banquet, Luo Yao walked towards the direction of the Luo family in Qingshi City.

Although it is almost impossible to compete with the Netherworld Divine Religion with the power of Qingshi City.

But if, with the power of the cultivation family, the Luo family that gave birth to him and raised him.

It would be a very simple thing to compete with the Netherworld Divine Religion.

Even a head-on confrontation with the Netherworld Cult would not be a big problem.

......

Qingshi City, Luo Family Land.

In the room where the head of the Luo Family is.

At this time, Luo Ping, the current head of the Luo Family, was sitting quietly on the main seat.

The elders of the Luo Family and the think tank members were sitting around.

At this time, the people of the Luo Family seemed to be discussing something.

And the footsteps of Luo Yao and his appearance.

Suddenly interrupted the discussion.

"Head of the family."

Luo Yao entered the room and lowered his head slightly.

Luo Ping raised his head, his eyes fell on Luo Yao gently, and whispered: "You are back? How about the celebration banquet?"

Luo Yao paused slightly, and then replied respectfully: "The celebration banquet is over, but the child has something in his mind, so I will leave first."

Luo Ping nodded gently, indicating Luo Yao to continue.

Luo Yao took a deep breath and told Luo Ping and the elders present the news that the Netherworld Messenger had appeared and conveyed.

The room suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere was so solemn that everyone's heartbeat could almost be heard.

Luo Ping's eyes became deep, as if he was thinking about some important decision.

After a moment, Luo Ping slowly said: "The Netherworld Cult is indeed a difficult opponent."

"Their influence is spread all over the world, and their actions are secretive and unpredictable. We have to be on guard."

"What the head of the family said is very true."

An elder nodded and agreed: "But since the Netherworld Cult has made its attitude clear, we can't just sit there and wait for death.

"We must take action as soon as possible to strengthen the defense of Qingshi City and improve the cultivation of our clansmen."

Another elder frowned and said worriedly: "The power behind the Netherworld Cult is unfathomable. Although our Luo family has a certain strength, it is still weak compared to it. If a conflict really occurs, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist. "

Luo Ping pondered for a moment, his eyes swept over everyone present, and said in a deep voice: "What the elders said makes sense, but Qingshi City is the foundation of our Luo family and the home of countless people. We must not retreat because of fear."

He paused and continued: "From today, we will strengthen the patrol and vigilance of Qingshi City, and at the same time select elites from the clan for special training to improve their actual combat capabilities."

"In addition, I will go to the Netherworld Divine Religion in person to negotiate with them and strive to resolve this matter peacefully."

Everyone was shocked when these words came out.

As the head of the Luo family, Luo Ping went to the Netherworld Divine Religion in person, which undoubtedly put himself in danger.

Luo Yao shouted anxiously: "Head of the family, I think we still need to discuss this matter again..."

Luo Ping smiled slightly, patted Luo Yao on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Don't worry, I know my limits."

"The future of Qingshi City requires the efforts of each of us."

"And as the head of the family, I must take this responsibility. "

After hearing this, Luo Yao still had some concerns in his heart, but he also understood Luo Ping's determination.

He could only nod silently to show his support.

Afterwards, Luo Ping began to arrange various matters.

He personally selected several elders of the clan with high cultivation to accompany him to the Netherworld Divine Religion.

At the same time, he also ordered people to strengthen the defense of Qingshi City to ensure that Qingshi City would be safe during his absence.

......

A few days later, Luo Ping and several elders embarked on a journey to the Netherworld Divine Religion.

They traveled through the vast mountains and forests, and after untold hardships, finally arrived at the territory of the Netherworld God Sect.

The territory of the Netherworld Cult is located in a dark valley, surrounded by thick fog, and seems to be isolated from the world.

When Luo Ping and others stepped into this territory, they couldn't help but feel a strong sense of depression.

They walked along the winding path and soon came to a magnificent palace.

The palace door was closed, and there were strange patterns carved on the door, giving off a gloomy atmosphere.

Luo Ping took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "I am Luo Ping, the head of the Luo family in Bluestone City. I am here to pay homage to the leader of the Netherworld Cult. We have important matters to discuss."

The door opened slowly, and a messenger in black robes walked out. He gave Luo Ping a cold look and said, "The leader knows that the Luo family master is coming, please follow me."

Luo Ping nodded and followed the envoy into the palace with several elders.

The interior of the palace is luxuriously decorated, but there is a cold atmosphere everywhere.

They walked through long corridors and finally came to a spacious hall.

Sitting in the center of the hall was a middle-aged man in black robe. He had a stern face and deep eyes, as if he could see into people's hearts.

This person is the leader of the Netherworld Religion, the Netherworld Demon Lord.

Luo Ping took a step forward, bowed and said, "I, Luo Ping, have met the Netherworld Demon Lord."

The Nether Demon Lord nodded slightly and motioned for Luo Ping to sit down. He picked up the tea cup at hand, took a sip, and said, "Master Luo has come all the way, why do you have to do so?"

Luo Ping said solemnly: "I am here to resolve the grievances between Bluestone City and the Netherworld God Sect."

"The Nether Messenger once said that the Nether Cult has no ill intentions towards Bluestone City, but only hopes to establish closer ties in the future."

"But Bluestone City is the place that our Luo family has protected for generations, and we will never allow any force to invade its peace."

The Netherworld Demon Lord smiled slightly and said: "The Luo family leader's words are reasonable, but as a force, the Netherworld Divine Sect naturally has our interests as well."

"Qingshi City is located in a strategic location and is rich in resources. Naturally, we cannot turn a blind eye."

Luo Ping frowned when he heard this.

He knew the intentions of the Netherworld Demon Lord, but he was not willing to compromise easily.

He said in a deep voice: "Does the Netherworld Demon Lord want to bring Bluestone City under the control of the Netherworld Divine Religion?"

Nether Demon Lord shook his head and said: "Master Luo has misunderstood. We have no intention of annexing Bluestone City, but we want to share its prosperity and seek common development."

"The Netherworld Cult and Bluestone City could have become allies instead of enemies."

When Luo Ping heard this, he felt a little more relaxed, but he still remained cautious on his face: "What the Demon Lord said is certainly pleasant, but how can we ensure that the Netherworld Divine Religion will not become a threat to the future of Bluestone City? After all, conflicts of interests have arisen in history. The flames of war are not uncommon.”

The Netherworld Demon Lord put down his tea cup, his eyes became deep and serious: "The Luo Family Master's words make sense. Trust must be built on honesty and strength."

"We, the Netherworld Divine Cult, are willing to put forward three conditions to show our sincerity."

"First, the Netherworld Divine Religion will send envoys to be stationed in Qingshi City to serve as a bridge of communication between the two parties to ensure smooth flow of information and avoid misunderstandings."

"Secondly, the Netherworld Divine Religion promises that it will never interfere in the internal affairs and people's livelihood of Bluestone City without the consent of the Luo family."

"Third, and most importantly, the Netherworld Cult is willing to work with the Luo family to resist foreign enemies. Whether it is an invasion by monsters or other forces, we will fight side by side to protect the peace of this land."

After Luo Ping heard this, he thought to himself.

Although these conditions cannot immediately eliminate all doubts, they at least lay the foundation for cooperation between the two parties.

He looked up at the Netherworld Demon Lord and said slowly: "Luo Mou needs to discuss the Demon Lord's proposal with the clan elders before he can reply."

"But Demon Lord, please believe that the Luo family also longs for peace and stability, and does not want innocent people to suffer from the flames of war."

The Nether Demon Lord nodded to express his understanding: "The leader of the Luo family is right. We, the Netherworld Cult, are not a warlike clan. We hope that the Luo family can give us an answer as soon as possible and start a new chapter of peaceful coexistence together."

Therefore, Luo Ping took several elders to temporarily leave the palace of the Nether God Sect and return to Bluestone City.

The scenery along their way was still dark and mysterious, but Luo Ping had more hope in his heart.

Returning to Bluestone City, he immediately summoned all the core elders and relayed the Nether Demon Lord's proposal in detail.

In the hall, the atmosphere was solemn and tense, and everyone was seriously considering the importance of this decision.

Luo Yao was the first to speak: "Master, the strength of the Netherworld Cult is unfathomable. If we believe in them easily, we may fall into a more dangerous situation."

Another elder, Luo Yun, also expressed similar concerns: "Indeed, in history, many forces have formed alliances for temporary gain, but eventually turned against each other. We must proceed with caution."

However, some elders hold different views.

Luo Feng, the leader of the younger generation of the Luo family, stood up with a firm gaze: "I think this is an opportunity. Since the Netherworld Sect is willing to put forward such conditions, it means that they also intend to coexist peacefully. We cannot because of the past. Shadow and reject all possible paths to peace.”

Luo Ping looked at the elders and had some concerns in his mind.

He knows that any decision requires weighing the pros and cons, and the situation at hand is undoubtedly complicated.

He spoke slowly: "I understand the concerns of all the elders, but as Luo Feng said, this is also an opportunity. Our Luo family has guarded Bluestone City for generations for the peace and prosperity of the people."

"If we can reach a true peace with the Netherworld Religion, it will be a blessing for Qingshi City and also a blessing for our Luo family."

He paused and continued, "Of course, we can't believe it blindly."

"I suggest that we can try to cooperate with the Netherworld Religion for a period of time to observe whether their actions are sincere."

"At the same time, we must also strengthen our own strength to ensure that we can protect the safety of Qingshi City under any circumstances."

The elders nodded in agreement after hearing this.

They knew that Luo Ping's decision was the result of careful consideration and for the future of Qingshi City.

So Luo Ping embarked on a journey to the Netherworld Religion again and informed the Netherworld Demon Lord of the decision of Qingshi City.

After hearing this, the Netherworld Demon Lord also smiled with satisfaction.

He knew that the Luo family's decision was not easy, but it also proved their sincerity and determination.

From then on, Qingshi City and the Netherworld Religion established a preliminary cooperative relationship.

The envoys of the Netherworld Religion were stationed in Qingshi City, and the information exchange between the two sides became more frequent and transparent.

The Luo family also strengthened their own defense and training to ensure that they could deal with unexpected crises under any circumstances.

As time went on, the relationship between Qingshi City and the Nether God Cult gradually warmed up.

The originally dark borderland showed some unusual vitality due to this new cooperation.

With the cautious acceptance of the Luo family, the influence of the Nether God Cult was no longer regarded as a threat, but became a potential help.

The residents in Qingshi City also began to feel the subtle peace brought by this change. There were discussions on the streets and alleys, all of which were full of expectations for the future.

The meeting between Luo Ping and the Nether Demon Lord was no longer limited to the negotiation table. Occasionally, the two leaders would patrol the city defense together or discuss strategies to resist the invasion of monsters.

They found that in the face of a common goal, the past grievances and prejudices seemed to become insignificant.

Luo Ping personally witnessed the efforts of the Nether God Cult in maintaining local peace. Whether it was sending masters to help clear the hidden dangers in the mountains and forests, or providing precious cultivation resources to the younger generation of Qingshi City, they all demonstrated their sincerity and strength.

The Luo family also continued to grow in this process.

They borrowed the training methods of the Netherworld Cult to improve the martial arts skills of the clan members. At the same time, Luo Ping also encouraged the clan members to communicate with the outside world and learn new knowledge, making Qingshi City no longer a closed little world, but gradually integrating into the wider world.

The younger generation of the Luo family thrived in such an environment. There are many ambitious people among them who dream of leading Qingshi City to a more glorious tomorrow one day.

However, the days of peace are not long after all.

Just today, the Luo family in Qingshi City suddenly received something shocking.
