Seeing that Chen Tianjing gladly accepted it, Lai Peixuan felt relieved.

But the patriarchs of several other families nearby were stunned where they were.

This step was not included in the discussion among the tribes before.

Originally, everyone thought that the Lai family had been the closest to the Yu family before, and the resources they brought this time were not much different from theirs. If the Chen family was really dissatisfied, they would probably be the first to target the Lai family.

If the Chen family reacts strongly, they will act accordingly.

But the head of the Lai family had actually been prepared for a long time, and now he was putting several of their clans on the fire.

This made several family patriarchs who had previously discussed matters with the Lai family couldn't help but cast angry glances.

Facing several unfriendly glances, Lai Peixuan remained calm.

Doesn't he know what these families are planning?

He still wants his family to be the first to take action. This is really naive. The Lai family has been able to survive until now and has repeatedly seized the opportunity in various crises. There is a secret to this.

Seeing that Chen Tianjing looked unhappy and seemed to want to continue to attack, the other clan leaders could no longer hold back and stood up one after another:

"Chief Chen, our tribe still has some ferocious beast resources. We raise some black gold beasts, but they are quite large and have bad tempers. That's why we didn't bring them here this time. I will personally lead my tribesmen to deliver them later."

"Patriarch Chen, in fact, our family's sincerity this time is not just on that list. The family still has some resources to offer..."

“…”

Chen Tianjing's expression was slightly cold, and he did not speak for a while, which made the people below even more worried. However, if they did not want to be remembered by the Chen family, they could only use some family resources again.

"If that's the case, then my Chen family will forgive you for what happened this time, but I hope you won't miss anything next time."

Hearing this, everyone felt relieved. It seemed that the family would not face revenge from the Chen family in the short term.

However, after listening carefully, many families were stunned again.

Next time? And next time?

Seeing the doubtful looks from everyone, Chen Tianjing said calmly:

"Now that all the tribes are here, I don't need to waste words. From today onwards, all small tribes within a hundred miles will have to pay tribute to my Chen family every year. As for the resources to be paid, we will take 30% of each tribe's unique resources. If you have any opinions, please feel free to speak up!"

After Chen Tianjing finished speaking, the clan leaders of all the tribes below were all stunned.

Even though the Yu family had a martial artist at the Yu Qi level before, they only formed the Tongji Alliance. Although all the clans later discovered that the Tongji Alliance was actually a pretext for the Yu family to get their hands on the resources of other clans, under the general trend, everyone had no choice but to accept it.

I thought that the Chen family usually kept a low profile, and now that the family had apologized, everything would be fine. But I didn't expect that the Chen family didn't intend to keep a low profile as usual. Instead, they were more direct and asked each clan to provide 30% of the family resources. This was almost clear, and they wanted all the clans present to become vassals of the Chen family!

After a moment of stagnation, everyone's expressions changed, they seemed to want to speak but hesitated, but finally fell into silence.

The Yu family has been destroyed, and even the Le'an Sun family and the Chen family have offended them, but they are obviously not afraid.

With such strength, how could he continue to hide in the mass grave like before?

Although this matter was beyond everyone's expectations, upon closer thought, it was reasonable.

If the Chen family continues to keep a low profile, it will make them feel that something is not normal.

However, thinking that their families would return to their previous state and pay tribute to the Zhou family of Yunmeng City, the clan leaders of each clan still had many thoughts in their minds.

After all, giving away so many resources for no reason would cause the family's development to lag behind.

But if you don't pay tribute, I'm afraid the Chen family will not show mercy.

Amid the silence of the crowd, several families spoke up and echoed:

"My Tao family has no objection. Patriarch Chen has the final say."

"I have no objection to Lai's family either."

“…”

Among the patriarchs who were the first to agree, except for the Lai family, the strength of the other families was generally weak.

The Tongji Alliance formed by the Yu family earlier also made them see the facts clearly.

That is, it is simply impossible for the family to hide here and develop peacefully.

In front was the Zhou family, in the back was the Tongji League, and now there is the Chen family.

Even if they do not provide for the middle-class families, they will always face oppression from other families. This is inevitable.

The only way out is to have a strong family.

Before the family becomes weak, it is better to take the initiative to rely on a family, and to avoid endless demands like the Yu family.

The current Chen family may not be a bad choice.

Apart from anything else, the fact that the Chen family dared to offend the Le'an Sun family is the best proof.

Seeing this, the other families who were still hesitating had no choice but to agree.

The general trend has led to the fact that even though the family's strength is still good among other small families, facing the now more powerful Chen family, they can only choose to surrender.

Seeing all the tribes bowing their heads, Chen Tianjing also showed a smile on his face.

From today on, although the family still has a certain gap in population, it has already become a well-deserved middle-class family.

Although there is still a gap between his family and other medium-sized families in the surrounding areas, he believes that in the near future, other families will sooner or later be surpassed by his family.

After the joy, Chen Tianjing quickly calmed down.

He adheres to Chen Xingzhen's philosophy and wants to make his family stronger. A middle-class family is just a beginning. His goal is to become an upper-class family, or even a top family!

But crossing the next step is not an easy task, and he must not become complacent about it, lest he loses his rationality and vigilance.

"Chief Tao, listen to my orders!"

"exist!"

Tao Lewu's expression froze, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, but he still stood up immediately, lowered his head slightly and pretended to listen.

Since they have chosen to become a subsidiary family of the Chen family, then at certain times, the clan leaders of them must also cooperate with the Chen family. However, what puzzles Tao Lewu is why the Chen family would choose him first, which makes Tao Lewu feel a little uneasy.

"The Yu family has been destroyed, and the iron mine is still ownerless. Chief Tao can lead his clansmen to station at the iron mine. After that, they only need to hand over 70% of the iron ore they mine to the family."

The clan leaders of various tribes who were originally watching the show were stunned after hearing this, but those who reacted immediately looked at Tao Lewu with envy.

They had thought that for resources like the iron ore, the Chen family would definitely send people to guard and mine it, but they didn't expect that the Chen family would choose to hand over these resources to the small Tao family!

Although the Tao family only occupies 30% of the iron ore resources, for them, how is this different from picking up resources for free?

Tao Lewu was also a little confused at the moment, but after he reacted, he smiled happily and immediately thanked him.

Sure enough, the family’s choice was not wrong.

Thirty percent of the high-quality iron ore is enough to make up for the family’s losses this time.
