"Shh."
Luo Ning suddenly made a gesture to be quiet, shot Long Chen a look, and whispered, "There are so many disciples of the Luo family in the Luo Sect. If you say that, they'll turn against you if they hear that." "
It's nothing, I'm just telling you. It's just the two of us here, no outsiders. I'm curious—how did your Luo family suddenly have such a rule? What exactly triggered your family head?" Long Chen asked curiously.
Luo Ning hesitated for a moment, glanced around, and finally couldn't hold back. She whispered,
"I can tell you, but you must not tell anyone, especially my sister."
Long Chen's eyes lit up, his heart involuntarily quickened, and he quickly nodded:
"I swear to heaven that I will keep the secret. If I break my promise, heaven will strike me with five thunderbolts."
This oath meant nothing to Long Chen; he was already used to being beaten; whether he kept it or not, he would be beaten up.
"Let me tell you, our family head is the most outstanding powerhouse in the Luo family's ten thousand years..."
Just as Long Chen had predicted, Luo Ning was simple-minded, without any scheming, and she was someone who couldn't keep secrets. As soon as Long Chen started, she revealed everything like sifting beans.
It turns out that the current head of the Luo family is named Luo Zichuan. At the age of forty, he ascended to the rank of Immortal King, fought throughout his life, and eliminated countless hidden threats to our family. He can be said to be the head of the Luo family who, aside from the first generation, has contributed the most to the Luo family in history.
Although the Luo family has a long history, by the time of Luo Zichuan's generation, they were already on the verge of collapse, surrounded by powerful enemies, facing numerous dangers, and the situation was as precarious as a pile of eggs.
The Luo family is already strong on the outside but weak inside. Some of their superficial tactics are just for scare. If anyone dares to fight them, they'll be exposed immediately.
Although the surrounding major powers were eyeing the Luo family hungrily, they dared not act rashly and could only secretly suppress the Luo family.
When Luo Zichuan was still young, the Luo family fell into crisis. The surrounding major powers seemed to have figured out the family's strengths and weaknesses and began annexing their territory and industries.
The Luo family, unable to resist, contended with them while giving up their assets and seeking help everywhere, hoping to catch their breath.
As the saying goes, weak countries have no diplomacy. When the Luo family is weak, those former allies and those who have benefited from the Luo family not only fail to help but instead kick them when they're down, accelerating their annexation.
The Luo family fought desperately, with countless Luo family members dying in battle every year. It was in this environment that Luo Zichuan grew up.
At the age of ten, he began going to war, narrowly escaping death countless times and activating his ancestral bloodline. It is said that his bloodline even mutated by chance.
Luo Zichuan went to war at the age of ten, spending thirty years pacifying all directions, uprooting and wiping out every force that had invaded the Luo family.
Thirty years of warfare, bloodshed everywhere, countless factions sought peace, but Luo Zichuan ignored them completely, using bloody means to eliminate powerful enemies.
During the wars, the Luo family had also faced threats from powerful forces, but Luo Zichuan was fierce and proud. He bluntly stated that from his generation onward, the Luo family could only die standing, never live kneeling.
Whoever intervenes is the Luo family's mortal enemy. Unless he can destroy the Luo family, as long as one member survives, the family will seek revenge for generations.
Luo Zichuan was so powerful that he offended many forces, but in the end, these forces could not stop the Luo family's revenge. In the end, the Luo family reclaimed their territory and assets, and took over all the assets of the hostile forces, making the Luo family's current power unprecedentedly strong.
Luo Zichuan grew up through warfare throughout his life, which shaped his extremely stubborn character. The rules he set had to be strictly followed by members of the Luo family, and no one dared to defy them, so the Luo family's discipline was extremely strict.
Luo Zichuan had three wives, but only two sons and one daughter, and all of them were born to the same mother.
Luo Zichuan was extremely strict with his two sons. Luo Zichuan only married and had children after reaching the Immortal King realm, so both sons and one daughter were astonishingly gifted. Especially the youngest daughter, Luo Ningshuang, whose talent surpassed her two brothers and also had the potential to become Immortal King.
Luo Zichuan doted on his little daughter deeply, but his demands were also extremely strict.
Luo Zichuan's youngest daughter not only inherited her father's strengths but also his stubborn personality. Facing her strict father, she often confronted him and refused to yield even when punished.
There were many times when the Zichuan Immortal King was so angry that he trembled all over. At some point, after a huge argument between father and daughter, Luo Ningshuang suddenly disappeared the next day.
It is said that he stole the Lower Realm talismans of Immortal King Zichuan and, along with a group of Immortal Realm disciples, went there to train there.
The Immortal King of Zichuan flew into a rage and immediately ordered a pursuit. But the routes to the lower realm were not fixed; they were all chosen by the people of the lower realm, and no one knew where she had gone.
More than twenty years passed like this. One day, Luo Ningshuang suddenly returned. After she returned, father and daughter hadn't seen each other for twenty years, and when they met, they had another big argument.
Upon learning that Luo Ningshuang had actually married and had children in the mortal realm, the Immortal King Zichuan trembled with anger. Luo Ningshuang had given birth so early, wasting all her talent.
You have to understand, only those with very poor talent, whose cultivation has reached its limit and can no longer break through, would have children so early.
The more talented a person is, the more likely they are to have children after reaching the limit, because the higher the parents' cultivation, the better the inherited talent, and the greater the chance of surpassing their parents in the future.
However, the higher one's cultivation, the more restricted it is by the Heavenly Dao, and the lower the chance of conception. Therefore, some powerful individuals, even after thousands of years of marriage, still might not be able to have a child.
Seeing Luo Ningshuang marry and have children so early, Immortal King Zichuan nearly went mad with anger and directly ordered Luo Ningshuang to be thrown into a bitterly cold land, leaving her to fend for herself.
"That bastard... Long Chen's face turned cold, his fists clenched tightly—his mother had actually been treated as a criminal.
Luo Ning continued to tell the story. Luo Ningshuang was left in a bitterly cold place, but unexpectedly, she managed to escape on her own.
Not only did she escape, she also cultivated a body of icy power, subduing the overlord of the Bitter Cold Land, the Frost Spirit Dragon, as her mount.
After escaping, the first thing she did was storm into the Chu family, slaughter three branches, and slaughter a million disciples.
However, this also alarmed the Chu family's experts. In the end, Luo Ningshuang, alone and her dragon, fought their way out of the Chu family's encirclement and managed to escape.
It is said that after that battle, Luo Ningshuang was seriously injured. The Chu family sent countless powerful warriors to pursue her with all their might, but the Frost Spirit Dragon was too fast, and they couldn't catch up. In the end, Luo Ningshuang disappeared, and for more than twenty years, there was no news of her.
Some said they had seen her in other domains and said she was building her own faction, but Luo Ning didn't know much about the specifics.
Ever since the incident with Luo Ningshuang occurred, Immortal King Zichuan was furious and ordered all the Luo family women to only marry within the Luo family, forbidding them from marrying outside. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Do you know which region she's in?" Long Chen tried to keep his voice calm, but he still felt his voice trembling.
"I don't know. The older generation should know." Luo Ning shook her head.
Long Chen secretly clenched his fist. At this moment, his mother didn't know whether he was alive or dead; she must have been tormented. He must...You must quickly grow up.
"Knock knock knock"
Just then, there was a knock at the door. Luo Bing walked in. Seeing Luo Ning looking so lively, she breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Long Chen, saying,
"The inner disciples have started gathering. It seems there's something important to announce. Let's hurry over."
