Chapter 8 Level Luck
Forest City.

This is a typical clan-ruled city.

The Lin family that rules this city is no simple family. It has been passed down for more than 800 years and has a powerful divine infant in charge.

During this rather long period of time, the position of the city lord of Lincheng has always been held by the Lin family. Neither the Great Zhou Dynasty nor the barbarians who once occupied the northern region have changed this phenomenon.

In the Lin family's ancestral home, in an ancient courtyard.

Two people are playing chess.

"Ancestor, our current situation is quite dangerous!"

Lin Xiao, the head of the Lin family, held the black piece in his hand and said with a frown.

Opposite him sat the ancestor of the Lin family. He had an old face, a slightly hunched back, and a hint of decadence lingering around him.

"Why are you panicking?"

The Lin family ancestor looked calm and said calmly: "In the past eight hundred years, the Northern Territory has changed rulers a lot, right? But who can shake our Lin family?"

Lin Xiao quickly stood up and saluted, "Please give me your instructions, ancestor!"

He felt that this struggle was different from previous ones and he couldn't make up his mind, so he ran back to his ancestral home from Lincheng to ask for instructions.

Report any problems you encounter.

You can never go wrong.

Lin's ancestor stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's still the same as usual, don't take sides, don't oppose, put in less effort, and get more benefits!"

"As ordered!"

Lin Xiao suddenly realized, and all his confusions were solved.

Over the years, the Lin family has relied on this principle to stay firmly in power and gain many benefits from all sides.

The next three days.

City lords kept bringing people to the banquet. When they learned that the Hanbing Sect was destroyed and all the disciples of the sect were killed, they all felt nervous and were shocked and afraid of the King of Liang, whom they had once ignored.

"Maybe. It's time to make a choice!"

The Lord of Tianlang City stood outside the palace. He looked at the three words "Liangwang Mansion" shining brightly in the wind and snow, and finally made up his mind.

He decided to try to find a loyal minister.

Qin Qian ignored the arrival of the city lord.

He just asked Zhao Guangxun to arrange someone to take him to his residence, and then he ignored him.

What does this mean?

Many city lords who attended the banquet were worried and could not sleep or eat well.

On the fourth day, they were taken to the central hall early in the morning. In the empty hall, there were forty-six tables and chairs, with the names of cities placed on the tables.

Many city lords did not speak, found their seats and sat quietly.

at this time.

In the rear hall.

Qin Qian finished his training and asked, "How many people are here now?"

Next to him sat Xiang Yu and Zhao Guangxun.

Hearing the inquiry, Zhao Guangxun quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, as of now, the mayors of twenty cities have come, and six cities have sent representatives."

“So few people?”

Qin Qian frowned slightly. He thought that after destroying the Hanbing Sect, he would be able to intimidate the city lords in various places in the Northern Territory.

But unexpectedly, only half of the people came.

Among them, there are six representatives.

There was a flash of anger in Zhao Guangxun's eyes, and he was about to speak, but at this moment, he suddenly felt his body go cold, and a strong murderous aura filled the hall.

Then Xiang Yu's voice sounded in his ears, without any emotion.

"My Lord, do you want me to destroy these cities?"

Xiang Yu held the spear, his fighting spirit boiling.

When Zhao Guangxun turned his head, he saw endless murderous intent from Xiang Yu. In a trance, there were countless resentful souls lingering around, which made people shudder.

"Not urgent!"

Qin Qian shook his head and said softly: "Let's solve the problem at hand first."

As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards the front hall, where he saw the city lords from all sides who were somewhat fidgeting. Most of them had worried looks on their faces, and only a few remained calm.

"Meet the King of Liang!"

After seeing Qin Qian come out, everyone in the hall stood up and saluted.

"sit!"

Qin Qian sat in the upper seat, while Xiang Yu and Zhao Guangxun stood on both sides, looking down with eager eyes.

"The main purpose of gathering you today is to discuss the future direction of the Northern Territory."

Qin Qian looked solemn, with golden light flashing in his eyes. He said straight to the point: "The court has granted the Northern Territory to the Qin family. I hope everyone here can show some sincerity, for example, hand over the jade seal."

"This"

Everyone in the hall looked at each other, feeling extremely heavy, as if they were being pressed down by a huge rock.

Jade seal!

It refers to the city lord's seal.

Only those who have a jade seal hanging around their waists can be considered the legitimate city lords, with overall power over the city. They can also enjoy the blessing of good fortune and increase their cultivation speed.

If they hand over the jade seal, they will be nothing.

"I am willing to hand over the jade seal."

At this time, the Lord of Tianlang City stood up, walked to the center of the hall, knelt on his knees and said: "The Qin family has protected the Great Zhou for generations, and was conferred the title of King of Liang, ruling over the forty-six cities in the Northern Territory. As the Lords of the Northern Territory, we should obey the orders of the King of Liang."

"Tianlang City is willing to honor King Liang as its master."

As he spoke, he flipped his right hand, took out a jade seal that was shining with divine light, and held it high above his head.

"Very good, Lord Tianlang is thoughtful."

Qin Qian said with a smile.

He slowly stretched out his right hand, and with a slight clench, an extremely terrifying suction force erupted, snatching the jade seal in mid-air.

It was at this moment that the power of luck in his body became much stronger, but it was still not enough to raise the level of luck.

"Aura?"

Inside the hall, everyone stared at Qin Qian, their pupils shrank sharply, and their hearts were filled with turmoil.

Didn’t they say that Qin Qian’s Dantian was destroyed?
Why
And you still have the cultivation level of Xuandan realm?

For a moment, everyone was confused, and they felt that there were many strange things in it.

"Linbei City, I wish to honor the King of Liang!"

Dong Chuan had witnessed Xiang Yu's strength, and now seeing Qin Qian display his skills, he no longer hesitated and knelt down to salute.

"Luanyun City is willing to honor King Liang as its master!"

"Anxuan City is willing to honor the King of Liang!"

"Hongshuo City, I wish to..."

In just a moment, twelve city lords chose to surrender and presented the jade seal with both hands.

Some of them had the same idea as the Lord of Tianlang City, fighting against the big with the small, or they were self-aware and knew that the King of Liang was doomed to fail and continued resistance was like hitting a rock with an egg, or they were afraid of death.
But no matter which possibility it is, there is only one factor that prompted the cities to surrender, and that is.
Strong strength.

After all, even the powerful Hanbing Sect was destroyed, so what were they?

Qin Qian didn't care about the thoughts of these city lords. He collected the jade seals from each city in turn. Every time he obtained one, his luck and power would increase a lot.

Finally, when he obtained the eighth city lord's jade seal, a system prompt sounded in Qin Qian's mind.

[Ding, congratulations to the host, your luck level has been upgraded, and you have a chance to win a prize! ]

Level 4 luck!
Qin Qian was delighted, but he remained calm on the surface. He turned his head to look at the remaining city lords who had not surrendered, and asked with a smile: "What about you? Do you have any ideas?"

"King Liang, if we submit to you, what benefits can we gain?"

The representative from Lincheng who was sitting in the front row stood up and asked with a bow.

"What benefits do you want?"

Qin Qian asked calmly.

"Spiritual Stone, Autonomy!"

Representative Lin Cheng said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the remaining city lords who had not surrendered felt something in their hearts and a hint of heat flashed in their eyes.

"hehe."

Qin Qian smiled faintly and said, "You have a big appetite!"

Representative Lin Cheng said: "This is the court's grace to our Lin family. Your Highness Prince Liang will not object!"

"Humph!"

Qin Qian's face suddenly darkened, and he slapped the table. A powerful aura surged from his body, and golden light flashed, like a young king of ancient times.

He stood up, glanced at everyone coldly, and said without emotion: "Today, I will also tell you something.

All under heaven belongs to the king, and all within the four seas are the king’s subjects!
You guys, don't you respect me, the King of Liang?"
