138 This is the Lu family’s order
The Lu clan had picked a small clan in anling city-the Huang clan.
The entire Huang family had 20 Qi cultivation stage cultivators and one foundation establishment stage cultivator. The foundation establishment cultivator was Huang shengxi, a second-tier Foundation establishment cultivator.
Huang shengxi had only been in the foundation establishment stage for a short period of time. It had only been eleven years. When he was building his Foundation, he had never used a foundation building elixir. He had been prepared to die and had tried to break through. In the end, he had been lucky and succeeded.
After his success, the Huang family’s status rose greatly.
However, the resources that foundation building cultivators needed to cultivate were not something that he could compare to when he was still in the Qi refining stage. In the past ten years, he had been lucky enough to reach the foundation establishment stage, and he had gradually felt the pressure of insufficient resources.
However, in anling city, the profits had already been divided.
As a new group of interest, it was very difficult for the Huang family to gain their own living space.
To break the existing interest system, one needed sufficient power. Obviously, Huang shengxi did not have that power.
But now, there was a good opportunity.
Pingan County.
The Zhao family was already finished, and the interests in Pingan County were emptied out. However, although the Zhao clan had fallen, their might still remained. In addition, the Zhao clan still had some extraordinary power in the sect. As a result, no one dared to take over the benefits that had been left empty in Pingan County in the past few months.
However, Huang shengxi dared to.
In any case, the living space in anling city was no longer enough for the Huang family. It was just right to go to Pingan County.
As for the risk, it was huge. If the Zhao clan cultivators from the sect came, the Huang family wouldn’t be able to stop them.
But how could there be benefits without risk in the world? If he wanted to fight for his own living space, he had to take this risk.
Once their Huang family … To be able to gain a firm foothold in Pingan County, even if the Lu family was given a few hundred spirit stones as an offering every year, the remaining amount was still a huge sum of money for the Huang family. The clan would be on the right track in the future, and Huang shengxi could cultivate properly. Perhaps, he might have a chance to strive for Qiming in the future and take the Huang clan to great heights.
Lu Qing was very happy to see that this matter had been settled.
At this point, the entire anling Prefecture had been arranged.
He could see from the system that the Lu clan’s control over Pingyao County had reached 92%. His control of Sishui County had reached 73%. However, his control over the entire anling Prefecture was already 54%.
According to Lu Qing’s understanding, this controlled proportion represented the Lu clan’s right to speak in the region. It did not just refer to how much benefits they had.
In Pingyao County, the Lu clan was a clan that kept their word. Lu Qing estimated that the 8% that was missing came from the scattered villages and towns outside the county. In the current situation, the possibility of achieving 100% control was very low, and it was unnecessary.
Although the Lu family didn’t have direct control over si Shui County, mu Yangcheng was the current head of the county. He needed the support of the Lu family to gain a foothold in si Shui city. Therefore, he would listen to the Lu family’s words.
In order for the Lu clan to maintain their control over Sishui County, they had to see how much control the Lu clan had over the MU clan, and how much control the MU clan had over the Sishui County.
It was similar in Luyi County, but it was not as high as Sishui. However, seeing the Han family’s obedient attitude, the situation in Sishui County should be similar.
As for Changhong, Pingan, and anling, he would have to see how they developed.
In the early stages of the engagement ceremony, after the negotiations regarding anling city had ended, it was basically a big deal for the Lu family.
This would be a brand new interest system for the anling Prefecture, built with the Lu clan as the core. In the following years, what the Lu family needed to do was to completely implement the entire interest system and maintain it.
The key to protecting them was the strength of the Lu family. As long as the Lu clan did not decline, the order of anling Prefecture would be decided by the Lu clan.
……
The male party had invited more guests, and because they wanted to talk about ‘business’, they all arrived earlier.
However, there would naturally be people from the bride’s side among the guests at the engagement banquet.
Naturally, most of them were the cultivators of the Qingfeng sect.
For example, Zhang Shiman had rushed over from the Qingfeng sect with Lu Wenen. She was Li Yanling’s direct disciple, so it was normal for her to come to her master’s engagement. In addition, Li Yanling’s other disciples, as well as her senior and junior brothers and sisters, who she had a good relationship with in the sect, had also come. Most of them were at the foundation establishment stage, but there were also four initial enlightenment cultivators.
The purpose of these people coming to Yuyan mountain was much purer. They were Li Yanling’s close friends and family, and since Li Yanling was getting engaged, it was only natural for them to come and congratulate her.
However, on the day before the engagement ceremony, a group of uninvited guests arrived at Yuyan mountain’s entrance. This caused everyone on Yuyan mountain to become nervous.
“Congratulations to junior martial sister Yan Ling’s engagement ceremony!”
The person who had just arrived was Zhao Zhengdong.
There were three initial enlightenment cultivators who came with him.
The Lu family was on high alert when they saw Zhao Zhengdong from afar, but they did not activate the protective formation.
That would be overreacting.
If it was during normal times, even if he lost some face, he had to ensure his safety.
But not now.
There were many guests on Yuyan mountain. Furthermore, the Lu clan had just finished negotiations with the major clans of anling. How could they turn around and reveal their weak side?
Even though they were a little afraid that Zhao Zhengdong would barge in without a care, the Lu family still decided to show off.
Moreover, the aftershock from Lu Qing killing Zhao Zidan was still there. Zhao Zhengdong should be the one who should be afraid. What if patriarch Lu Qing thought that this was a great opportunity to exterminate them and come out to kill them? what could he do? He was at the ninth level of the initial enlightenment stage and had a chance of reaching the Golden core stage. However, in front of a great cultivator at the peak of the fifth level of the Golden core stage, what was he? Even if Zhao Zhengdong had a hundred guts, he wouldn’t dare to be so presumptuous in front of the mountain Gate.
Furthermore, there was still Li Yanling, the future daughter-in-law of the Lu clan, on Yuyan mountain, and her strength was not any weaker than Zhao Zhengdong’s.
In actual fact, Zhao Zhengdong did not dare to act out of line.
His face was as calm as an old dog’s, but he was panicking inside.
He was really afraid that Lu Qing would come out and kill someone.
Before he came, he had carefully considered that Lu Qing would not kill him if he did not do anything too presumptuous.
Lu Qing had killed Zhao Zidan because Zhao Zidan had attacked the Lu clan. There would not be too much of a moral issue if he killed Zhao Zidan.
However, he, Zhao Zhengdong, had come openly to congratulate his Junior Sister on her engagement. He was not here to kill anyone, and he had no intention of taking revenge on the Lu clan.
Under such circumstances, Lu Qing could not possibly come out and kill someone without asking for the reason, right?
He, Zhao Zhengdong, was at least in the ninth level of the initial enlightenment stage, and could be considered one of the higher-ups in the Qingfeng sect. If Lu Qing really killed him without a valid reason, the sect would not let him off the hook, no matter what.
Even so, Zhao Zhengdong was still panicking. After all, this concerned his life.
However, when he saw that Lu Qing did not charge out immediately, he felt more at ease. However, when he saw Lu chaoxi and Li Yanling, the fiancé and fiancée, leaving the house together, his heart sank.
He didn’t have any thoughts about Li Yanling, but he didn’t want old ancestor Zhao’s golden core to end up in Li Yanling’s hands.
