SWNOVELXO Chapter 607: Successful Seal, Punishment of the Two Great Dynasties?_2
They understood that subduing the Demon Suppression Tablet would undoubtedly be a great asset for their next task.
After all, the Demon Suppression Tablet itself was a powerful sealing artifact. With its assistance, sealing the source of that mysterious power would become easier.
However, they also knew it was not yet time to relax.
The source of that mysterious power had not been fully sealed.
They still needed to work hard and completely seal the source of that mysterious power to ensure the stability of the Northern Desolate Divine Continent.
Thus, the two of them started acting again, preparing to seal the source of that mysterious power.
...
Beneath the Demon Suppression Tablet lay a mysterious black hole.
Previously, when the two of them left, they had temporarily sealed the black hole.
Preventing the mysterious power within it from leaking out.
But clearly, such a method would not last long.
It was evident to the naked eye that the seal on the black hole was already on the verge of collapse.
"The issue with the Demon Suppression Tablet has been resolved; now we must handle this black hole."
"To completely deal with this matter, the only solution is to thoroughly seal the black hole."
Luo Qing and Luo He stood before the black hole, their faces filled with grave expressions.
They knew that the black hole contained an incredibly powerful force.
A single misstep could lead to unimaginable consequences.
However, they also understood that this was a challenge they had to face.
For the stability of the Northern Desolate Divine Continent, they had to completely seal the black hole.
Thus, the two exchanged a glance and simultaneously activated the Qi-Blood Force within their bodies, channeling it toward the black hole.
As their Qi-Blood Force surged forth, the sealing power around the black hole began to gradually strengthen.
Suddenly, a dense black light erupted from the black hole, rushing straight toward the two of them.
Luo Qing and Luo He's expressions changed, quickly channeling their Qi-Blood Force to form a barrier that blocked the impact of the black light.
"The force within this black hole is indeed unimaginably strong."
Luo Qing spoke deeply.
Luo He nodded in agreement, "We must remain cautious and not let our guard down."
The two of them knew that the power within the black hole was far beyond their expectations.
A single mistake could lead to injury for either of them.
But even so, they did not retreat; instead, they continued to channel their Qi-Blood Force to enhance the sealing power around the black hole.
Time passed minute by minute.
The black light within the black hole grew increasingly intense.
Each surge made their hearts pound anxiously.
Still, they refused to give up and persisted in their efforts.
At last, after enduring immense difficulty, the two managed to enhance the sealing power around the black hole to its maximum strength.
Then, with a simultaneous cry, they poured all the Qi-Blood Force within their bodies into the black hole.
As their Qi-Blood Force surged inward, the black hole suddenly erupted with a dazzling black light.
This black light was stronger than any before.
Yet, under the impact of this light, the sealing power around the black hole began to contract gradually.
Finally, the black hole was completely sealed, unable to release any power.
Both Luo Qing and Luo He breathed a sigh of relief, their faces showing weary smiles.
They knew they had finally completed their task.
The Northern Desolate Divine Continent could finally return to stability.
...
After Luo Qing and Luo He sealed the black hole, the Northern Desolate Divine Continent indeed settled down.
The source of that mysterious power no longer showed any disturbances.
The war between the two great empires also gradually came to an end.
However, the current Family Head, Luo Ping, did not relax his vigilance because of this.
He understood that although the black hole was sealed, it did not mean it was entirely safe.
After all, the black hole still contained an immensely potent force.
If the seal showed any signs of loosening, that mysterious power would once again wreak havoc.
Thus, the Luo Family continued to monitor the black hole's condition in secret, ensuring no further disturbances.
...
Qingshi City, Luo Family ancestral land.
In the room of the Luo Family Patriarch.
Luo Ping, the Family Head of the Luo Family, sat silently in the main seat, sipping his hot tea.
At his side, Luo Yao appeared bored, gazing aimlessly toward the view outside the room.
Around the room stood members of the Luo Family's Brain Trust.
"The seal on the black hole has been successfully established."
"The struggle between the two great empires has also gradually ceased, nearing its conclusion."
"But the repercussions of their actions..."
"Don't seem to be favorable!"
Luo Ping sat in the main seat with a slightly furrowed brow.
If other empires acted similarly due to various reasons...
How could the Luo Family in Qingshi City still suppress the Northern Desolate Divine Continent?
How could they manage and control such a vast Divine Land?
"What do you all think of how we should punish those two empires?"
Luo Ping placed his teacup down, looking toward the others.
Hoping to hear a satisfactory response from them.
...
Inside the room.
Upon hearing Luo Ping's question, everyone fell into deep thought.
They understood that Luo Ping was seeking their opinions.
After all, the matter concerning those two empires had stirred up quite a commotion, becoming widely known across the Northern Desolate Divine Continent.
If an appropriate punishment were not meted out, it might incite dissatisfaction and suspicion from other empires.
However, determining an appropriate punishment for those two empires posed a dilemma.
After all, the two empires were quite powerful; overly harsh punishment might lead to greater disorder.
Yet, too lenient a punishment would fail to serve as a deterrent.
The room's atmosphere grew heavy with tension.
Luo Ping chose not to rush them but waited quietly for their answers.
He knew this matter needed careful consideration and could not be handled recklessly.
Finally, after some deliberation, someone spoke up.
"Family Head, I believe we should impose some punishment on the two empires but not make it overly severe."
The speaker was an elder of the Luo Family.
He continued, "After all, the two empires acted under the influence of that mysterious power. It was not entirely their fault."
"Moreover, now that the mysterious power has been sealed, they seem to recognize their mistakes."
As the elder finished speaking, a wave of discussion erupted in the room.
Some agreed with the elder's perspective, believing in imposing a punishment, albeit not too harsh.
After all, the empires had been influenced by the mysterious power, and now that it was sealed, they acknowledged their faults.
However, others expressed dissent.
They argued that the conduct of those two empires had severely violated the rules of the Luo Family and warranted strict punishment as a warning to others.
Otherwise, if other empires emulated their behavior, chaos would ensue across the Northern Desolate Divine Continent.
Once again, the room's atmosphere grew tense.
Luo Ping refrained from making an immediate decision and instead listened quietly to the discussion.
He understood this matter required prudent deliberation.
After all, it concerned the Luo Family's prestige and dominance in the Northern Desolate Divine Continent.
Finally, after a heated debate, Luo Ping reached a conclusion.
"I believe we should inflict some punishment upon the two empires."
Luo Ping's voice resonated through the room, startling everyone.
They had not expected Luo Ping to favor punishing the two empires.
After all, Luo Ping had always been known for his leniency.
Yet they quickly grasped his rationale.
"But the severity of the punishment needs to be carefully measured."
