"Patriarch Lai, the Yu family's territory is also vacant. There is also a second-rate iron mine in their family's territory. The nobles can send their clansmen to receive the resources here, and they only need to hand over 70% of it."
After hearing this, Patriarch Lai's expression brightened up and he immediately agreed.
Compared to the Yu family’s high-quality iron ore, the Yu family’s mine is not of such good quality.
However, compared to the unimportant mine, he valued the Yu family's territory and other resources within the territory more. Although they were not too rare, they were very good for the family.
It seems that the family's surrender this time is indeed extremely important.
The expressions of the other family heads changed constantly when they saw this. They had not expected that the Chen family would be so generous as to give up all the territories they had conquered before and choose to hand them over to other small families.
If they had known this, they would not have shown this sincerity today.
However, although they did not get the resources, the clan leaders of each tribe saw the courage of the Chen family. If there is such an opportunity in the future, do they also have hope?
Many clan leaders showed slight changes in expression, and immediately prepared to return to their clan to discuss in detail how to improve their relationship with the Chen family.
After allocating these two resources, Chen Tianjing spoke again:
"Everyone, since my Chen family has collected 30% of the resources from each clan, we will not choose to take them for free. My clan members will give you a token of my Chen family later. If any of you have any major issues related to the safety of your clan, you can also come to my Chen family with this token to seek help!"
Chen Tianjing's words did not make everyone too happy, because this was not an isolated case for the Chen family. When they were dependent on the Zhou family before, the Zhou family had also promised this.
But normally, the family is not in life-and-death crisis, so it is not necessary to use it. Even if it is, it depends on the strength of the enemy. If it is any other medium-sized family, the Chen family will not offend it rashly. Moreover, asking the Chen family to take action will probably cost another price, which is not included in the 30% of resources handed over by the family.
Therefore, people did not take the Chen family's promise seriously. However, the family still needed to get the Chen family's token, so that they could use the Chen family's name to intimidate others in the future.
As for how useful it is, it is unknown. After all, the Chen family is not well-known now, and other medium-sized families may not buy into it.
Chen Tianjing just smiled and didn't say much about the reactions of various tribes.
In fact, it is impossible to expect the family to give full support. Chen Tianjing does not mind taking action only when the matter is within the family's strength and has little impact on the family.
"Everyone, that's all for today. The resources brought by each tribe will be received by the tribe members soon."
With the departure of Chen Tianjing, the clan leaders present did not stay any longer and immediately prepared to leave the side hall. The head of the Tao clan walked even faster as he needed to send his clansmen to the iron mine as soon as possible to take over the resources.
"Patriarch Lai, please move aside. My clan leader wants to discuss something with you."
The head of the Lai family, who was about to leave, changed his expression slightly, but still nodded.
Although the other clan leaders were curious, they did not dare to ask.
After a while, the head of the Lai family arrived at the main hall of the family under the guidance of the clan members.
"Greetings, Chief Chen. Is there anything else you would like to discuss?"
Lai Peixuan asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Chen Tianjing smiled slightly:
"I asked Patriarch Lai to stay this time just to answer some small doubts in my mind. I hope Patriarch Lai will not be too rigid."
Lai Peixuan's heart froze slightly after hearing this, but his expression was still quite natural.
"Patriarch Chen, please tell me what you are talking about. As long as I know something, I will definitely help you solve your doubts."
"Okay, then I'll be frank. I heard that the nobles were very successful in the Tongji League before. I guess they were doing well in the past six months. But why didn't they attack my Chen family a few days ago?"
Chen Tianjing asked with a smile, not hiding his doubts at all.
The actions of the other families present that day were all reasonable.
Among them, the Yu family had a feud with the family and chose to go down the same path to the end.
The other families were exploited by the Yu family and did not want to get involved, so they chose to wait and see and not help either side.
Only the Lai family, which had been an absolute supporter of the Yu family before and had done well in the Tongji Alliance and even gained a lot of benefits, did not choose to go all the way at the critical moment.
Today, they are taking actions that are opposite to those of most families.
In the wooden box, there were more than ten blood bodhi seeds. This item could help the innate realm warriors to condense their qi and blood, and the effect was very good. This was why Chen Tianjing was so happy after seeing it. After all, the family was seriously lacking in this aspect.
And judging from the wooden box, the Lai family had obviously been prepared in advance, rather than changing their minds at the last minute.
But this also made Chen Tianjing even more curious. If the Tao family had not been so enthusiastic, the family would have chosen to hand over the resources of the iron ore to the Lai family instead of the Tao family.
When Lai Peixuan heard Chen Tianjing's question, his expression changed.
He originally thought that Chen Tianjing would ask about the source of the blood bodhi in the wooden box, or ask if there were more blood bodhi. After all, the Chen family would definitely covet such resources.
And he had already thought of the answer and was ready to answer truthfully.
But he didn't expect that Chen Tianjing did not ask about this, but instead asked another question.
Under Chen Tianjing's gaze, Lai Peixuan's expression changed slightly.
"If it is inconvenient, Patriarch Lai can choose not to answer."
Chen Tianjing continued, but Lai Peixuan said with a wry smile:
"Patriarch Chen has a keen eye. In fact, this matter is related to our totem. Our totem has no other great power, and it cannot improve the strength of our people, but it can avoid danger and seek good fortune. This is why our people can make the right decision at the critical moment. However, the totem can only give rough guidance, and it cannot be accurate to the exact matter. Moreover, every time it gives guidance, it will consume a lot of divine power of our totem."
Chen Tianjing was a little surprised when he heard this, but there are so many spiritual creatures in the world, it is not surprising that the power of totem has a different effect.
Judging from the current situation of the Lai family, the power of the totem is indeed somewhat magical, but it has not reached its ultimate effect, otherwise the Lai family would not have not produced a single person in the Qi Control Realm.
Lai Peixuan felt a little uneasy after telling the truth. The family totem effect had been kept secret by the family because they did not want it to be discovered by outsiders. Otherwise, they might be in crisis. After all, some medium-sized families would probably covet the effect of this totem.
But today he had no choice. If he didn't say it, the Chen family might attack his family tomorrow.
"I see. It was Chen who was presumptuous."
Chen Tianjing nodded slightly.
As for the Blood Bodhi, Chen Tianjing did not ask much. With the strength of the Lai family, there probably were not many such resources, otherwise the Lai family would not have offered this item this time.
Precisely because they didn't have much, the Lai family didn't worry about arousing the covetousness of other families.
