But just a few days later, several figures quickly appeared in front of Chen Tianquan.
"In Yuyang County, Xiang Tianxiao, the patriarch of the Xiang family, congratulates the elder Chen for coming in person!"
"In Yuyang County, Yuan Shou, the patriarch of the Yuan family, has been waiting for Chen clan elder for a long time!"
"In Yuyang County..."
Looking at the several figures in front of him who were kneeling and holding gift boxes, Chen Tianquan frowned slightly.
When coming to Yuyang County, the family naturally investigated the situation in this county, and the few people coming now were actually the patriarchs of several medium-sized families in Yuyang County.
The original thought was that before the patriarchs of other superior families could come to intervene, these families in the county would unite to obstruct the family and bring some problems to the family, thus forcing the family to retreat.
But now, looking at the kind smiles on their faces and their slightly humble attitudes, it was obvious that this matter had fallen through.
Seeing that Chen Tianquan did not answer for a long time, and there was a hint of displeasure between his brows, the clan leaders below paused in their hearts and spoke hurriedly:
"Patriarch Chen, several of my clansmen have been busy dealing with family affairs recently, so we were unable to come in time. I hope that Elder Chen will forgive us. This time, my clan took the initiative to come and submit to the Chen family, hoping to become a subsidiary family under the Chen family. To show the family's sincerity, my clan will hand over 40% of the family's resources every year! I hope Elder Chen will not despise it!"
On the side, several other elders were stunned when they heard this.
Wasn't it agreed upon 30% before coming here? Why did the head of the family secretly add another 10% to this? Isn't this 10% higher than the previous families in Yelang County?
But seeing that the situation was unclear, the few people did not dare to say much. They all offered to surrender and added 10%.
After all, the right to speak now does not lie with them, but with the Chen family in front of them!
After the war with the Tiandi Alliance, the situation in the southern border counties was obvious, especially the upper-class families in Yuyang and Yunzhong counties, all of which had been destroyed, and only the Chen family remained. This showed that the Chen family was extraordinary.
In the past two days, each tribe was still waiting for people from other upper-class families to come, wanting to see whether these upper-class families would compete for resources because of the two counties. This would also give them more room for choice.
At that time, they will belong to whichever clan is stronger. Otherwise, if the two superior families fight each other and they stand on the wrong side, they will suffer.
But what they didn't expect was that after the Tiandi Alliance was completely wiped out, the other upper-class families had no intention of getting involved in these two counties.
If they don't take action, the next target they might face is the Chen family's army.
After some consideration, the clan leaders decided to surrender voluntarily to avoid the disaster of clan extermination.
Moreover, they heard that the Chen family had a good reputation and treated its affiliated families fairly and did not make things too difficult for them. In this case, voluntarily surrendering was a good choice.
But as Chen Tianquan remained silent, several clan leaders could not help but feel uneasy. Could it be that their bargaining chips did not satisfy the Chen family? Or did the Chen family not want them to surrender at all, but were preparing to directly wipe out their clans? In order to gain more benefits.
Just as the clan leaders were feeling uneasy, Chen Tianquan quickly smiled and stepped forward and said:
"Please stand up quickly, clan leaders. Since you have taken the initiative to join our Chen family, you are now in the same boat with us. Since you have taken the initiative to submit, our Chen family will never make things difficult for you. As for the relevant resources, you only need to hand over 40% in the first three years, and after three years, you can reduce 10%."
"In addition, our tribe is a little short of manpower, and we also have two other counties. It may be difficult to take care of them all by then. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you clan leaders in the days to come!"
When they heard the polite words before, the clan leaders were unmoved. But as Chen Tianquan's last few words came out, their eyes lit up and they soon became much more enthusiastic.
Although the Ouyang family has been destroyed, the remnants of the upper-class family are still there. In Yuyang County, many resources belonged to the Ouyang family, and now they naturally belong to the Chen family. Chen Tianquan's words revealed to them that the control over these resources might fall into their hands.
Even though the bulk of it already belongs to the Chen family, they may still be able to gain some benefits from it.
The clan leaders who understood this all spoke up without hesitation:
"Since we have become a subordinate family of the nobility, we should obey all orders of the Chen family!"
"I hope that Elder Chen will give orders, and our Yuan family will do its best!"
As the clan leaders of each tribe expressed their opinions, Chen Tianquan also smiled. The atmosphere between the two sides was harmonious. Soon, Chen Tianquan, under the leadership of several clan leaders, went to some Feng Shui treasures to preview.
In Yunzhong County, the situation on Chen Tianmo's side was the same.
…
In the family lobby, Chen Tianjing looked helpless when he received the news.
The family was originally unwilling to take over the two counties, as it would attract attention from the noble families as it would attract the wind. However, they never expected that as the family grew stronger, it would be difficult to avoid it even if the family did not want it.
Other upper-class families did not come. One reason was that they were afraid of the family's strength. After all, the family had already become famous in this battle with the Heaven and Earth Alliance, and there was also a True Dan realm warrior in the family. Although he was injured in this battle, he was not someone that an ordinary upper-class family could afford to provoke. Moreover, there was also Chen Qinghe in the family who was able to comprehend great supernatural powers at the True Dan realm.
Secondly, other families also suffered losses in this battle. Not only did each family suffer heavy losses in the Qi Control Realm warriors, but families like the Song family of Cangwu County and the Wu family of Liuxing County no longer had warriors in the Spirit Condensation Realm. Even if they wanted to fight for it, they would probably be powerless.
Furthermore, when the family totem was used before, all the upper-class families, including the three top families, received favors from the family, which reduced the losses of each family. Naturally, they are embarrassed to compete now.
Of course, the most important reason is that the family is strong enough.
Due to several reasons, it is normal that the various ethnic groups do not come to compete for the resources of these two counties.
As for the middle-sized families in the two counties, they naturally did not dare to go against the current family.
With such absolute strength, even if the various tribes wanted to unite, they knew they were no match for the family.
Now that all the tribes have taken the initiative to surrender, under such circumstances, the family absolutely cannot refuse them, otherwise it will arouse suspicion from all the tribes.
Although it conflicts with my original idea, I can only take it one step at a time now.
The family originally occupied Yelang County, and now has two more counties.
The combination of the three counties is comparable to a state where the top families are located.
Excluding the fact that there are not many family members, the family has already become a truly top family!
If it had happened before, Chen Tianjing would have been very happy, because this was the goal that the family had always wanted to achieve, and it was also the pursuit of all the upper-class families.
But after knowing the strength of the aristocratic families, Chen Tianjing realized that, let alone one top family, even ten top families would be difficult to match one aristocratic family.
