Luo Haoyu discovered that not only was he no match for his unfilial son, he couldn't even take half a move from him. If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't use his full strength, he probably wouldn't even have the chance to attack.
With no other choice, in order to ensure the safety of Luo Mingshuang and the others, Luo Haoyu agreed to pass on the position. He also sent out invitations to the marquises of the other three counties to attend the ceremony.
As for the generals and officers, Luo Minglei used both kindness and power to quickly subdue them. Only a few loyal people like Wu Feng were unwilling to submit and were all killed.
Although Luo Haoyu wanted to save them, Luo Minglei didn't listen to him at all. In the end, Luo Haoyu could only use this method. He heavily injured Wu Feng and the others and forced them to listen to Luo Minglei's orders to protect their lives.
Wu Feng and the other three were all brave and scheming people. After thinking about it, they realized the marquis's good intentions. So, they were no longer as impulsive as before. Instead, they calmed down and thought about how to deal with it.
Just as they had no clue and were drinking to drown their sorrows, they met the captain. Because the captain was one of the first people to declare their loyalty to Luo Minglei, Wu Feng disliked them very much.
Similarly, the captain also disliked Wu Feng. So, conflict was unavoidable. That was why Luo Ping appeared to save him.
Half an hour later, Luo Ping and Wu Feng swaggered to the entrance of the county office. Wu Feng, who was originally heavily injured and had his strength reduced to that of a Martial Master, had now fully recovered.
Not only did he recover his strength, he even had a breakthrough in his realm. Right now, he had reached the peak of Great General and was only a step away from becoming a Martial Lord.
Following behind Luo Ping, Wu Feng's heart was filled with indescribable excitement. Looking at the figure in front of him, other than gratitude, admiration, and unswerving loyalty, he also felt.
Wu Feng didn't know why, but standing beside Luo Ping, he had a lofty feeling of wanting to conquer everything. His blood boiled. Even though he had seen Luo Minglei's strength before, he didn't have the slightest bit of worry.
The person in front of him had created too many legends. As long as he was here, there was nothing he couldn't solve. As long as he followed him, nothing would go wrong.
"Stop! The marquis has ordered that General Luo is not allowed to enter the county office. Those who let him pass will be beheaded without mercy."
Just as he was feeling the changes after his advancement, he suddenly heard the guards shout to stop them. Immediately, he took a big step around Luo Ping, and pointed at the guards' noses and started scolding them.
"Look carefully, this is the National Protector General. Do you dare to not let him pass?"
"General Luo, you may not know this, but the commandery marquis has just given the order that if anyone dares to let you in, they will kill all the wives and children of the soldiers guarding the city. We have no choice!"
The other's, he's's's's's, he's for one...
"Are you talking about Luo Minglei? I didn't expect him to call himself Marquis even before the inauguration ceremony."
... he ''s's he''s, '''s right, he '''t to '' ''s..
"Lu' t to's"
After getting the answer, Luo Ping didn't argue with the guards, nor did he force his way in. He knew Luo Minglei wanted to see what he would do.
If he insisted on entering the county office, he would definitely harm these soldiers, provoke their anger, and cause the county office to lose morale.
If he wanted to protect these soldiers, he couldn't brazenly enter the county office. If he sneaked in, he would have to bear the consequences.
"Looks like he's waiting for me in ambush. As you wish!"
Luo Ping smiled faintly. He couldn't think of any secret move his uncle had waiting for him. Even if there was, it wouldn't be a problem for him with his current strength.
"Let's go. Since we can't do it openly, let's do it secretly."
"Secretly? Oh … I understand. Sneak in secretly! "
Wu Feng was puzzled at first when he heard Luo Ping's words. Then, he suddenly understood. He followed Luo Ping to the corner of the county office's gate.
"Let's go!"
Wu Feng felt his shoulder being grabbed by Luo Ping's hand. Before he could react, he was already in the air. In the blink of an eye, they had entered the county office's courtyard.
At this moment, the county office was very quiet. To be exact, it was terrifyingly quiet. There wasn't even a trace of sound. Luo Ping and Wu Feng could clearly hear their own heartbeats.
"Thump thump … thump thump … thump thump …"
"Let's go inside and take a look!"
Luo Ping felt that the atmosphere in the county office was very strange. Since the resignation ceremony was about to be held, it should be very lively. Why was there not even a trace of sound?
After reminding Wu Feng, Luo Ping prepared to walk in. After taking two steps, he hurriedly turned around. His eyes were filled with astonishment. His pupils dilated as he searched back and forth.
He even released his spiritual senses to search the entire courtyard. However, he couldn't find Wu Feng. He had disappeared without a trace.
Moreover, he couldn't find any trace of anyone else. The entire county office's courtyard was like an empty city. There was no one else except for him.
"That's not right. Why is there no one here? What's going on? "
Although he felt that it was strange, Luo Ping continued to walk in. Even if it was a dragon's lair or a tiger's den, he wouldn't shrink back. He just wanted to rescue his parents and Luo Yuntian. At the same time, he also wanted to understand the whole story.
"Ping 'er? You're back? That's great. Come quickly. Come with me to the meeting room. Your grandfather intends to announce his resignation and pass the position of Marquis to your father. "
A voice suddenly rang out. It stopped Luo Ping as he walked through the front yard. The voice was so familiar and so intimate. Who else could it be other than his mother?
"Mother … Mother?"
Shen Rong's appearance was so sudden that Luo Ping didn't notice it at all. He was a little suspicious.
"That's not right. Mother, why are you here? Weren't you captured by Uncle? Also, you said that Grandfather is passing the position of Marquis to Father? Isn't it Uncle? "
Luo Ping instantly sensed that something was wrong. He vaguely felt that a pair of eyes were staring at him. However, everything in front of him didn't seem real.
"Silly child, what nonsense are you saying? Why would your Uncle capture me? Also, the next Marquis is your father, not your Uncle. Come, let's go to the meeting room. "
Shen Rong walked over as she spoke. She grabbed Luo Ping's hand and walked towards the meeting room. Feeling the warmth of his mother's hand and the familiarity of his mother's aura, Luo Ping really couldn't tell whether his mother was telling the truth or not.
In the meeting room, Luo Haoyu sat on the main seat as usual. The Luo Family members sat below him. When Luo Ping and Shen Rong appeared, everyone looked at them.
Luo Ping's expression was calm as he swept his gaze across everyone's faces. He followed his mother to their seats and sat down.
In the following time, Luo Haoyu first praised Luo Ping's performance in the national competition and told the third generation to learn from him. Then, he talked about the matter of passing on the position of Marquis.
Just as Shen Rong had said, Luo Haoyu planned to pass the position of Marquis to Luo Mingshuang. The ceremony would be held in three days.
At this moment, Luo Mingshuang's face, which was originally filled with joy, suddenly turned ferocious. Two rays of cold light shot out from his eyes like shooting stars in the night sky. They streaked across the night sky and into everyone's minds.
"Hahaha, I've waited so long for this day. I've waited so long. Since you've already announced the successor, there's no need to sit there anymore. Come down!"
A palm shadow flew out from his palm and hit Luo Haoyu, who was sitting on the main seat. The latter didn't even have time to react before he was seriously injured and spat out blood.
The sudden change caused chaos in the meeting room. No one expected Luo Mingshuang, who had already obtained the position of Marquis, to suddenly go crazy and attack his father. This was too illogical.
When Luo Minglei and Luo Mingzhen saw this, they immediately took action. They were prepared to capture Luo Mingshuang from both sides. However, Luo Mingshuang waved his palm twice and injured them.
In the entire meeting room, other than Luo Ping, no one was a match for him. Luo Mingshuang walked to the seat of Master without any hesitation. He threw Luo Haoyu out of his seat and sat on it himself.
"Ping 'er, hurry up and capture your father. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Following Luo Haoyu's words, the gazes of everyone in the hall gathered on Luo Ping once again. Everyone fought to be the first to ask Luo Ping to take action, even his mother was no exception.
From the moment he entered the meeting room, Luo Ping had been watching coldly. He seemed to be indifferent to everything in the room. Whether it was Luo Haoyu's speech or Luo Mingshuang's madness, Luo Ping was indifferent from beginning to end.
At this moment, seeing everyone's eager expressions, Luo Ping only smiled slightly and didn't say anything. Instead, he slowly looked into the void. A pair of deep and bright eyes suddenly shot out two beams of light that seemed to have substance. It was as if he had seen through the distant void and reached the boundless horizon.
Just as the light in Luo Ping's eyes lit up, a figure in front of a curtain of blood-red mist suddenly took two steps back. His face was full of disbelief.
Behind this person, in a few cells, countless eyes were also closely watching the blood-red mist in mid-air. This was because in the mist, there was a figure that affected their inner emotions.
"Some tricks. I didn't expect you to see through my 'Demonic Illusion of Desire'. But so what if you see through it? I don't believe you can break it. Unless you want to kill everyone here, but can you do it? Ahaha … "
A sinister laughter rang out. The entire cell was filled with this person's laughter. It sounded very ear-piercing. However, no one cared because his words had already made everyone's mood sink to the bottom.
They knew that with Luo Ping's personality, even if he knew he was in an illusion, he wouldn't kill everyone present. After all, they were his family. However, if he didn't kill them, how could he leave the illusion?
Just now, that person had boasted to them that once one fell into the Heart's Demon's Illusion and was unable to come out, they would remain there forever, enduring the torment of silence and emptiness for all eternity. That was a kind of mental torment, unable to feel sound, unable to experience reality. It was a completely empty space.
None of the people who were trapped in this illusion could endure until they died naturally. They all couldn't endure the silence and terrifying situation and chose to commit suicide.
There were even some people who didn't even have time to commit suicide. They had already become mentally retarded and idiots.
