"Since you have seen my face, why don't you bow?"
Chen Qinghe said calmly.
But these plain words made Lu Kaiming break out in a cold sweat.
He never expected that the person who came was not from the Gongyang family, but from the Chen family!
Although they had only met once, Lu Kaiming had a very clear impression of the appearance of Chen Qinghe and the others.
At this moment, Lu Kaiming's heart was like a mess. He didn't understand why people from the Chen family would appear in the Gongyang family, and walk out swaggeringly without any fear.
As his mind raced, Lu Kaiming quickly came up with a terrible guess.
Although this speculation was extremely outrageous, the scene before him made it difficult for him to come up with any other reasons.
Lu Kaiming, who reacted very quickly, also bowed and said:
"Lu Kaiming, head of the Lu family, greets Master Chen."
Chen Qinghe smiled faintly, did not answer, but continued to ask:
"What is the matter with Chief Lu coming here this time?"
There was a hint of murderous intent in the plain questioning, and the bloody smell coming from his nose made Lu Kaiming's heart tighten.
He knew in his heart that if his current answer did not satisfy Chen Qinghe, his life would most likely be in danger.
After a little thought, Lu Kaiming chose to answer truthfully:
"My Lord Chen, I came here specifically to pay a visit to Chief Gongyang and ask why my people have not returned."
After waiting for a while, Lu Kaiming did not hear the sharp sound of the aura, but Chen Qinghe's reply slowly rang out:
"All warriors of your clan have died."
When Lu Kaiming heard the answer, his face turned pale, but he didn't say much, as if he already knew the result.
The next moment, Chen Qinghe said bluntly:
"The Gongyang family has been destroyed. Now Yelang County is under the jurisdiction of my Chen family. I would like to trouble Chief Lu to notify all the affiliated families in Yelang County and tell them that if there are people who are willing to submit to my family, our family will not hold them accountable. However, each family must hand over 20% more resources than the Gongyang family in the first three years!"
When these words came out, Lu Kaiming's eyes were shocked.
Sure enough, my guess was not wrong.
The Gongyang family, a long-standing upper-class family, was actually wiped out.
Although it was a little hard to believe, Lu Kaiming remained calm after the fact.
Because compared to the demise of the Gongyang family, what he should consider more now is the survival of his family. When Chen Qinghe said this, he already understood that his life and even the life of his family were probably saved for the time being.
Lu Kaiming, who had figured it out, immediately requested:
"Sir, please give me a noble identity token so that I can persuade the various tribes."
"Can!"
As a family token fell into his hands, Lu Kaiming also saw the word Qinghe on it, and his heart froze.
"Okay, Chief Lu can go now. Come back here to report in three days. I hope Chief Lu will not let our tribe down."
Hearing the words coming from his ear, Lu Kaiming immediately replied in a sonorous and powerful voice:
"I will definitely fulfill your mission!"
Sensing that the figure in front of him had left, Lu Kaiming slowly raised his head.
In the field of vision, a touch of bright red color came into view from the Gongyang family, which made Lu Kaiming's heart tremble. He immediately turned around and headed towards the direction of the family.
The annihilation of the Gongyang family is such a major event that it will probably be known to everyone in a few days. By then, all tribes will be shaken, and Yelang County, as the territory of the Gongyang family, will certainly be greatly shaken.
As for his Lu family, it was already a spent force. During the battle between the Gongyang family and the Chen family, they were repeatedly used as breakthrough points by the Chen family. The family suffered enormous losses.
But compared with the loss of resources and clan members, the survival of the family is the most important.
And from what Lord Chen just said, it seems that the Chen family is not planning to wipe out other families in Yelang County. This is also an opportunity for the Lu family today.
Moreover, he had heard that the affiliated families under the Chen family were all living a good life, and many of them were even able to exchange other resources from the Chen family with their own resources.
This is also the reason why he chose to accept it.
Furthermore, there was no direct conflict between his Lu family and the Chen family. The conflicts between the two clans were all caused by the Gongyang family. Now that the Gongyang family has been destroyed, there is no conflict between the two clans.
Now that he has the Chen family token in his hand, it can be said that his Lu family is already one of the affiliated families under the Chen family.
Therefore, he had to complete this mission well no matter what.
In Chen Qinghe's words just now, he did not say what the fate of the family that did not submit to the Chen family would be, but not saying it meant that there was only one choice.
If you don’t surrender, you will die!
After sorting out his thoughts, Lu Kaiming sped up again.
Three days is plenty of time, but if he really went to report after three days, his family would probably be destroyed.
…
"Uncle Qinghe, the clan attacked the Lu family twice. Not only did they plunder all the clan's resources, but even the clan's totem was taken by the clan. Can the Lu family really obey the clan's orders?"
In the Gongyang family, Chen Hanli, who had just been following Chen Qinghe, asked.
He really couldn't trust this clan. According to his thinking, even if the family needed a messenger in Yelang County, they should choose another family.
Facing Chen Hanli's doubts, Chen Qinghe explained:
"Between families, interests come first, followed by family strength. It is precisely because the family has taken action twice that the Lu family knows the power of the family even more."
"Besides, this Lu clan leader is a smart man. He should know what to do to protect the family."
Seeing Chen Hanli nodded, he seemed to understand something.
There was an inexplicable look of melancholy in Chen Qinghe's eyes. He vaguely remembered that he was the one who asked the question at first, but now he had to answer it.
Although the family destroyed the Gongyang family this time, the family’s losses cannot be explained in a few words.
…
"Chief, Chief, I have something to report!"
In Yuyang County, in the Ouyang family's ancestral land, Ouyang Borong, who was sipping tea comfortably, heard loud shouts outside the yard and frowned slightly.
When the tribesmen arrived, Ouyang Borong had already scolded them:
"Fenghua, you are already a warrior at the Three Flower Realm. In a few years, you will be promoted to the position of clan elder. Why are you so flustered over such a small matter? How can you handle such an important position of clan elder when you are so impatient?"
Hearing the patriarch's reprimand, the middle-aged man who hurried in nodded repeatedly, not daring to refute.
Seeing that the middle-aged man still had an anxious look on his face, Ouyang Borong shook his head slightly, and then slowly said:
"What's the matter? Tell me."
"Yes, clan leader, the family has just received news that the Gongyang family has been exterminated!"
Ouyang Borong looked calm after hearing this, then nodded slightly and said:
"Since Gongyang Junyue has already broken through the realm of martial arts, it is naturally easy for him to destroy the Chen family. In fact, the Gongyang family's speed is a little later than I expected."
