"We are just ordinary sects and families in Tianyao City. How dare we have such ambitions? We just want to live a safe life."
"Before, I was forced to do it due to the pressure from the Heavenly Demon Sect. I also asked Mr. Ling to have a large number of..."
"Give you a chance to choose!" Ling Hao interrupted the other party.
Then he glanced around at the dozen or so people in front of him and spoke loudly.
"From today on, we will move into the City Lord's Mansion. You can consider staying in Tianyao City, or you can choose to leave. We don't force it."
"But one thing is that if you choose to stay, you must unconditionally obey the management of the City Lord's Mansion, otherwise, you will be responsible for all the consequences!"
"Mr. Ling, can you ask me a question?" One of the heads thought for a moment and then spoke.
"Say!" Ling Hao responded.
"If Mr. Ling moves into the City Lord's Mansion, what about the annual tribute?" the other old man asked tentatively.
"No need!" Ling Hao continued to reply: "As long as you stay safe and keep yourselves, I don't need you to pay any tribute!"
What he lacks most now are spiritual stones and cultivation resources. The contents of the ring are enough for them to go a long way.
Moreover, every war can yield a lot, so there is no shortage of spiritual stones from these sects and families.
"No need?" Everyone, including Yao Ting, was stunned at the same time.
Their various forces have been entrenched in Tianyao City for at least hundreds of years, and they have never heard that the city lord's palace does not require tribute!
"I'm just emphasizing one point!" Ling Hao raised his voice a few decibels.
"If there are people who are restless and do things like stealing and stealing behind the scenes, then be prepared to exterminate the entire clan!"
"Mr. Ling, you just killed the people of the Heavenly Demon Sect, they will definitely not let it go." A family head took a deep breath and spoke.
"Moreover, the King of the Western Regions also died in Chiyuan City. The Territory Lord's Mansion will definitely send people to the Western Regions. I'm worried..."
"This is an issue you need to weigh!" Ling Hao responded loudly.
"I might as well tell you the truth, my goal is the Honglan Star Territory Lord's Mansion. So far, I am only 40% sure!"
"So, think it over for yourselves. If you are willing to stay, then fight together. If you are not willing to stay, I will give you three days to move out of Tianyao City!"
quiet!
As his voice fell, the scene fell into silence, and more than a dozen people fell into deep thought at the same time.
Ling Hao wanted to force their team to make this decision. This decision was difficult to make. If he was not careful, he would have to involve the entire sect and family.
"I am willing to submit to Young Master Ling. From now on, Xiaoyao Pavilion will be at your disposal for any assignments from Young Master Ling!" Yao Ting expressed his position first after thinking briefly.
"Leng Yu Palace will submit to Master Ling from now on. If he has second thoughts, he is willing to exterminate the clan!" Leng Pi said at the same time.
"From now on, the Fu family will submit to Young Master Ling, and they will go up to the mountains of swords and the sea of fire without hesitation!" The head of the Fu family continued.
"..."
After a while, a total of seven or eight forces expressed their willingness to stay.
These forces are all the top-ranked sects and families in Tianyao City.
In fact, for them, on the one hand, it was a choice made out of helplessness. With their big families and big businesses, it was not easy for them to move their entire family away from Tianyao City.
Moreover, their family business is basically in Tianyao City. If they leave, they will have to start from scratch, which will be too costly.
On the other hand, the combat prowess Ling Hao and his team had shown before gave them more or less a certain degree of confidence.
Although there is still a big gap compared with the Domain Lord's Mansion now, who can be sure of what will happen in the future!
What if it succeeds?!
Of course, in addition to people like Yao Ting, there are several sects and families who have chosen to withdraw.
Their idea is also very simple. The foundation of the sect and family in Tianyao City is not very strong. Although the cost of starting over in another city is high, at least there is no risk.
For these people, Ling Hao did not make things difficult for them.
Afterwards, Ling Hao continued to talk with Yao Ting and others, and then led Lu Yue and Qin Yuxin into the city lord's mansion.
This can be regarded as their first foothold in the Honglan Star Territory.
As soon as everyone entered, Xuan Pang grabbed a person from the city lord's palace and asked for the location of the warehouse, then he dragged Bai Hu and the judge and ran over.
"Brother, what are your plans next?" Everyone came to a pavilion and sat down. Qinglong looked at Ling Hao and asked.
