Chapter 760
"Since you see my face, why don't you worship me?"
Chen Qinghe said lightly.
But the plain words made Lu Kaiming's back break into cold sweat.
He never expected that the person coming was not a member of the Gongyang family, but a member of the Chen family!
Although they only met once, Lu Kaiming knew the looks of Chen Qinghe and others very clearly.
At this moment, Lu Kaiming's heart was like a ball of mud. He didn't understand why people from the Chen family appeared in the Gongyang family and walked out without fear at all.
With his mind racing, Lu Kaiming quickly came up with a terrible speculation.
Although this speculation was extremely outrageous, the scene in front of him made it difficult for him to think of other reasons.
Lu Kaiming, who reacted very quickly, also hurriedly bowed his head and said:
"Lu Kaiming, the head of the Lu family, pays homage to Mr. Chen."
Chen Qinghe smiled faintly and did not answer, but continued to ask:
"What's the matter with Patriarch Lu's visit this time?"
The plain questioning also revealed a hint of murderous intent, and combined with the smell of blood coming from the tip of his nose, Lu Kaiming felt even more nervous.
He knew in his heart that if the current answer did not satisfy Chen Qinghe, his life would most likely be in danger.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Kaiming chose to answer truthfully:
"Back to Master Chen, I came here specifically to pay homage to the leader of the Gongyang clan. I want to ask why my clan members have not returned."
After waiting for a while, Lu Kaiming's ears did not hear the sound of cold air, but Chen Qinghe's reply slowly sounded:
"All the warriors of your clan have died."
Lu Kaiming's face turned pale when he heard this answer, 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. Yelang County is now under the jurisdiction of my Chen family. I would like to trouble Chief Lu to inform all the affiliated families in Yelang County that there are those who are willing to submit to our clan. The family will not be blamed, but each clan will surrender for the first three years. The resources need to be 20% more than those of the Gongyang family!”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Kaiming's eyes were shocked.
Sure enough, his guess was not wrong.
The Gongyang family, a long-established upper-class family, was actually wiped out.
Although it was a bit unbelievable, when the fact happened, Lu Kaiming felt calm in his heart.
Because compared to the demise of the Gongyang family, what he should consider now is the survival of the family. From the moment Chen Qinghe said this, he already understood that his life and that of his family were probably saved for the time being.
Lu Kaiming, who wanted to understand, immediately requested:
"Sir, please give me the identity token of a nobleman, so that I can persuade the various tribes."
"Can!"
As a family token fell into his hand, Lu Kaiming also saw the word Qinghe on it, and his heart froze.
"Okay, Patriarch Lu can leave. He will report back here in three days. I hope Patriarch Lu will not let our clan down."
Hearing the words coming from his ears, Lu Kaiming immediately replied sonorously and forcefully:
"You will definitely live up to your destiny!"
Sensing that the figure in front of him had left, Lu Kaiming slowly raised his head.
In the field of vision, a bright red color came into view within the Gongyang family. This made Lu Kaiming's heart tremble, and he immediately turned around and headed in the direction of the family.
The Gongyang family has been destroyed. Such a big event will probably be known to everyone in a few days. At that time, all the clans will be shaken, and Yelang County, which is the territory of the Gongyang family, will definitely be in great shock.
As for the Lu family, they were already at the end of their tether. In this fight between the Gongyang family and the Chen family, they were repeatedly used as a breakthrough point for the Chen family. The family suffered huge losses.
But compared with the loss of resources and clan members, the survival of the family is the most important.
And according to what Mr. Chen just said, the Chen family does not seem to be planning to wipe out other families in Yelang County. This is also an opportunity for the Lu family today.
What's more, he has long heard that the affiliated families under the Chen family are living a good life, and there are even many affiliated families that can use their own resources to exchange for some other resources with the Chen family.
This is also the reason why he chose to accept it.
Furthermore, there is no direct conflict between the Lu family and the Chen family. The conflicts between the two families are all caused by the Gongyang family. Now that the Gongyang family has been destroyed, there is no conflict between the two families.
Now that he has the Chen family token in his hand, it can be said that the Lu family is already one of the affiliated families under the Chen family.
So for this mission, he had to complete it well no matter what.
In Chen Qinghe's words just now, he did not say what would happen to the family that did not submit to the Chen family, but it did not mean that there was only one choice.
Failure to surrender means death!
After sorting out the thoughts in his mind, Lu Kaiming speeded up a bit again.
Three days is quite a lot of time, but if he really went to report after three days, the family would probably be in trouble.
…
"Uncle Qinghe, the family has attacked the Lu family twice. Not only has the family's resources been plundered, but even the family's totem has been taken by the family. Can the Lu family really obey the family's orders?"
In the Gongyang family, Chen Hanli, who had just followed Chen Qinghe, asked.
He really couldn't trust this family. According to his opinion, 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, the first priority is interests, followed by family strength. It is precisely because the family has taken action twice that the Lu family knows the power of the family."
"Besides, this Chief Lu is a smart man. He should know what to do to save the family."
Seeing Chen Hanli nodded, he seemed to have some understanding.
Chen Qinghe had an inexplicable look of sadness in his eyes. He vaguely remembered that he was the one who asked the question, but now he was the one who answered the question.
Although the family destroyed the Gongyang family this time, the family's loss cannot be explained in one word.
…
"Clan Chief, Clan Chief, I have something to report!"
In Yuyang County, among the Ouyang family, Ouyang Borong, who was enjoying tea comfortably, frowned slightly when he heard the loud shouts outside the courtyard.
When the tribesmen rushed to him, Ouyang Borong had already reprimanded:
"Feng Hua, you are already a warrior in the Three Flower Realm, and you will be promoted to the clan elder in a few years. Why are you panicking over a trivial matter? How can you take on such an important position as clan elder in such a hurry?"
After hearing the clan leader's reprimand, the middle-aged man who hurriedly walked in nodded repeatedly, not daring to refute.
Seeing that the middle-aged man still had a look of eagerness on his face, Ouyang Borong shook his head slightly, and then slowly said:
"If you have anything to do, tell me."
"Yes, patriarch, the family just received the news that the Gongyang family has been exterminated!"
Ouyang Borong looked indifferent after hearing this, then nodded slightly and said:
"Since Gongyang Junyue has broken through to the realm of martial arts true elixir, it will be easy to destroy the Chen family. Even the Gongyang family's speed is a little later than I expected."
