Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2482: Chapter 14: Hatred for Evil (Part 3)

The convoy from the escort agency continued to move forward.

The gates of Canglang City drew nearer, and the majestic wolf head at the top of the city walls was faintly visible.

But after walking for a moment, Luo Master saw, outside the north gate ahead, a wolf head banner raised high, and his expression turned solemn.

”Stop.”

Luo Master ordered the convoy to halt, furrowing his brows in thought.

Ying Lady also looked serious and whispered, ”Father, how about entering the city through the northwest gate?”

Luo Master pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded and said, ”Take the northwest gate.”

Mo Hua’s eyes flickered, but he said nothing.

Thus, the convoy from the escort agency turned off the main road at a fork, took a small road, and headed towards the northwest gate.

After about an hour, the path was rugged and deserted, with not a single carriage in sight.

As Luo Master walked, he sensed something amiss, his complexion changed, and he said:

”Oh no, let’s go back.”

But before he finished speaking, another wolf head banner rose by the roadside, and at the same time, seven or eight cultivators emerged from there.

These cultivators were all clad in wolf-patterned Taoist robes.

At the forefront was a young cultivator wrapped in a kaleidoscopic cang wolf-skin robe, his complexion fair, with slightly upturned eyes, and a Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivation.

Behind him was an old man, also with Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivation.

The others were all at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refinement.

Luo Master felt a chill in his heart.

The wolf robe youth glanced at Luo Master and said with a smile, ”Luo Master, are you hiding from me?”

Luo Master clasped his hands, forcing a smile, ”Why, Elder Duan, Elder Sun, my respects to both Elders.”

Mo Hua’s mind stirred slightly.

The wolf robe youth was likely surnamed ”Duan”, and the elder behind him was surnamed ”Sun”. The style of their wolf robes was identical to the ones Mo Hua had seen worn by members of the Canglang Sect in Tongxian City.

These two must be Elders of the Canglang Sect.

The wolf robe youth said, ”Luo Master, have you thought over the matter I discussed with you?”

Luo Master replied, ”I still need some more time to think...”

The wolf robe youth sighed, ”I’m short on time...”

He looked at Luo Master and said:

”My Canglang Sect has always been swift and decisive, with clear rewards and punishments. In the sect, when there are benefits, there are more wolves than meat to go around, and it’s about grabbing it. If you can grab it, it’s yours; if not, the sect won’t value you anymore.”

”The Sect Leader entrusted your Luo family’s escort agency to me. If I don’t produce some achievements, I can’t justify it to the Sect Leader.”

”However...” The wolf robe youth’s gaze turned cold, ”I spoke to you sincerely, yet you, Luo Chief, repeatedly brushed me off. Could it be you look down on me?”

Luo Master hurriedly said, ”I wouldn’t dare, Elder Duan’s words are always on my mind.”

The wolf robe youth said, ”Then the matter I discussed with you...”

Luo Master still said, ”I need more time to think.”

The wolf robe youth’s gaze darkened, showing impatience.

A moment later, his eyes fell on Ying Lady beside Luo Master, and he casually said:

”Alright then, let me give you an idea... I’ll take a loss and marry your daughter, and you merge the Luo family’s escort agency into my Canglang Sect. What do you say?”

Luo Master’s expression changed.

Ying Lady’s face turned pale.

The wolf robe youth said, ”If I marry Ying Lady, sooner or later, your Luo family’s escort agency will be mine, and sooner or later it will merge into the Canglang Sect to become one family. Since we’re bound to be one family, you need not worry anymore.”

Luo Master remained silent.

The wolf robe youth glanced at Luo Master and sneered,

”What? I am a respectable Foundation Establishment cultivator, willing to lower myself to marry your daughter of the Qi Refining Realm, aren’t you satisfied?”

Luo Master frowned, his heart wrenched.

If it were a normal Foundation Establishment cultivator willing to marry his daughter, he would naturally consider it carefully.

But this Canglang Sect’s ”Elder Duan” was infamous...

Every time the Canglang Sect annexed other powers, this young, influential ”Elder Duan” would boast about marrying their daughters, granddaughters, or other direct lineage women.

But he never truly married them.

It was just a false marriage, toying with others.

Once the Canglang Sect completed the annexation, he would promptly find a reason to discharge the ”wife” and marry the next.

Many powers within Canglang City were thus eradicated by him.

Even when confronted later, he wouldn’t acknowledge it.

Marriage was a private matter, often leaving no ground for argument.

No one dared to challenge the Third Grade Great Sect, Canglang Sect, either.

Luo Master understood this, thus he couldn’t possibly push his daughter into the fire pit.

He could only say, ”My daughter is dull and plain, unworthy of marriage to such a talented young man as Elder Duan.”

The wolf robe youth sneered, ”Are you mocking me?”

Luo Master insisted, ”I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare...”

The wolf robe youth’s piercing eyes swept over Ying Lady, examining her from head to toe, then laughed:

”No matter, as the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”

”You say your daughter is plain, yet I find her pleasing. This suggests a mutual attraction, a destined connection, she is my fated wife...”

Luo Master’s complexion changed, ”Elder Duan, you...this, is not acceptable!”

The wolf robe youth’s face turned unpleasant as well:

”I said, as an esteemed Foundation Establishment cultivator, willing to marry your daughter, is giving you face, could it be you truly cannot appreciate any favor?”

Luo Master frowned.

The other escort guards were also outraged, but due to the wolf robe youth’s status, they dared not voice their anger.

The wolf robe youth’s gaze shifted from Luo Master to Ying Lady, and he said:

”Oh, I almost forgot, this matter can’t be decided by you two alone, we must ask Ying Lady if she is willing.”

Ying Lady gritted her teeth and said, ”I am not willing!”

The wolf robe youth laughed loudly and said, ”See, Ying Lady says she’s willing.”
