Wei Hexuan paused when he heard this, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, but then he smiled again.
He laughed at the arrogance of the boy in front of him. Even though the Chen family was quite extraordinary, the person who came this time might not be the family's rival.
If a warrior at the Controlling Qi Realm came in person, he would have to be more careful. However, it would be too naive for him to expect the Wei family to surrender just because of this young man who was only at the Innate Realm!
What did his Wei family become? Just a bunch of chickens and dogs?
Wei Hexuan's eyes darkened and he was about to answer, but as two auras rose, the smile on Wei Hexuan's face froze again.
It was because two armored soldiers with deep auras had appeared beside the young man in front of him at some point.
The appearance of these two figures made all the elders in the field terrified, because the aura revealed by the two was already at the level of Controlling Qi. A family could still use the power of totems to repel one person, but it would be difficult for the family to deal with two warriors in the Controlling Qi realm.
Seeing that the young man in front of him was about to take action, Wei Hexuan's face turned ugly and he quickly said:
"Wait a minute, although my clan is no match for the nobles, we can hold out against them for a while. Do the nobles really want to take action at this time? Aren't you afraid that the families above will cause trouble for you? During the Five Domains War, all clans are forbidden to fight!"
Wei Hexuan said in a timid tone that now he could only rely on the news that this family had just received in an attempt to make the people from the Chen family retreat!
Hearing this, Chen Hanning laughed out loud:
"Yes, during the Five Realms War, all tribes were forbidden from fighting, but what if your tribe was slaughtered? Who would know?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Wei Hexuan's face turned pale instantly, and many elders on the side were also shocked and angry. They did not expect that the Chen family would dare to do such a bold thing at this time!
Wei Hexuan looked doubtful and said again:
"Even if your clan wipes out my Wei family, the world will be full of rumors, and the matter will spread sooner or later. I wonder how your clan will explain it then!"
Chen Hanning just sneered:
"Our elders have already gone to the southern border to participate in the war. Your Wei family is just a small, second-rate family. You don't even have the qualifications to participate in this war. Even if this matter gets out, what will happen? Is there any other family that dares to cause trouble for our clan?"
"Even if there is a time to question the culprit, I hope that Chief Wei will still be able to see it then."
Wei Hexuan's heart sank, and the elder beside him also fell silent.
It was just because what Chen Hanning said made sense. Even if some families traced the matter afterwards, the family would have been destroyed by then. Could it be that other families would really go against the Chen family, which is now at its peak, just because of a small Wei family like him?
"Chief Wei, let me ask you one more question, surrender or death?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the momentum of the two armored soldiers beside him rushed towards him. Several elders of the Wei family all felt a sense of solemnity and murderous intent at this moment.
As long as the family refused, they believed that the young man in front of them would order the massacre without hesitation!
Such a domineering behavior also made everyone in the Wei family tremble with fear.
“Chief!”
All the elders present turned their eyes to Wei Hexuan, waiting for the answer from the family patriarch.
If the clan leader does not surrender, the clan will fight to the death.
Seeing all the family members looking at him, Wei Hexuan had a complicated expression, but in the end he sighed softly, then bowed his head and clasped his fists and said:
"My Wei family is willing to surrender."
He may not consider himself, but he cannot help but consider the entire family. The Chen family is coming with great force. Compared with fighting to the death, it is of course more important to save the lives of the family and clansmen.
On the side, when the clan leader spoke, the elders present also lowered their heads, not daring to look at Chen Hanning.
Upon hearing the result, Chen Hanning looked calm and was not happy about the Wei family's surrender, because in his opinion, this was inevitable. If the Wei family really did not want to surrender, he would never be polite.
"Humph, this is your clan's first surrender. One month later, your clan must bring 50% of the clan's resources to our clan and participate in our clan's conference."
This moment made Wei Hexuan shocked:
"Fifty percent of the resources, isn't that a bit too much?"
"Whether to hand it over or not is up to you, Chief Wei. Goodbye!"
After saying that, Chen Hanning rode on the Green Wolf and turned around and left with his family members. The Green Wolf's figure soon disappeared.
Seeing the Chen family members leave, several elders on the side could no longer hold back and spoke up:
"Clan leader, this Chen family is simply too arrogant. Even the Zhou family in the past only took 30% of the family's resources, but this Chen family asked for 50% right away, which is 20% more than the Zhou family. This is really too much."
"That's right, Patriarch. The Chen family is so overbearing. How can our family be controlled by them? If it doesn't work, we will unite with other clans and fight back together!"
"Rather than becoming a vassal of this clan, it is better to leave now. Otherwise, if things continue like this for a long time, the clan will also be doomed."
Listening to the words of several elders beside him, Wei Hexuan sighed:
"Since the Chen family dares to take 50% of the resources, they must have absolute confidence in the family's strength and are not worried about the family's resistance or escape, otherwise why would they not impose restrictions?"
"It seems that the Chen family's ability to resist the attack of the Gongyang family is not a lie. Let the clan prepare early. I will go to the Chen family in person in a month."
"Chief, that's a full 50% of the resources!"
At this moment, Wei Hexuan's eyes were filled with a hint of calmness:
"The Chen family has developed to this point, so they are definitely not an ordinary family. Even the affiliated families of the Chen family before did not pay as much as 50%. I think this must be a special case. We will know the details when we go to the Mass Burial Hill."
After hearing this, the elders present said nothing more.
"Brother Han Wu, which family is next?"
On the way, Chen Hanning asked.
The young man beside him also looked at the list in his hand and replied:
"I heard that the Lu family in Jinyun Mountain has two warriors in the late Xiantian realm..."
After listening to the general information about this tribe, Chen Hanning nodded slightly.
On the side, Chen Hanwu, who was sitting on the back of the blue wolf, couldn't help but ask in confusion:
"Brother, if the family takes 50% of the resources at once, will it cause dissatisfaction among the tribes, and then cause them to flee or unite to fight against the family? At that time, it will be troublesome for the family to quell the war."
Chen Hanning smiled after hearing this:
"Don't worry, my brother. The tougher the family's attitude is and the more they ask for, the more they will be afraid and will not dare to take any action. If the family asks for too few resources, then the other clans may be dissatisfied and think that the family can be bullied."
"Besides, the family is now facing a powerful enemy like the Gongyang Family. We should do everything in our power to enhance the family's strength. Otherwise, after the Five Domains War is over, the family will no longer have such an opportunity."
Chen Hanwu and other tribesmen nodded after hearing this:
"Brother Hanning, you know so much!"
Facing the compliments from his tribesmen, Chen Hanning smiled and said:
"In fact, this is all the knowledge that the elders of the family taught me in dreams. You must not have listened carefully."
"By the way, have you collected all the souls of the Wei family just now?"
“It’s already been put away.”
"Okay, let's go."
