At a long table within the Li familyâs hall, the Li familyâs old patriarch sat at the head seat with Li Baiqing sitting next to him. Sitting around the table were other important members of the Li familyâs main family.
The Li familyâs old patriarch said with a serious expression, âNow, Great Qinâs Legatee has revealed his ferocity, and he has caused an uproar throughout the world. Various factions are trying to investigate Great Qinâs Legatee, the Li family should also make preparations. After all, Great Qin is simply too powerful, and even Chinaâs four Great Families have become incredibly wary of Great Qin. The Great Tang Legacy, which is slightly weaker, should do the same. Tell me what you all think.â
Sitting next to Li Baiqing was a middle-aged man who was the patriarch of another one of the Li familyâs bloodlines. However, because Li Baiqing had received Great Tangâs Legacy, all of the other bloodlines had to acknowledge Li Baiqingâs bloodline as sovereign and submit.
When he thought back to the scene from before, his face became somewhat pale. As a patriarch of one of the Li familyâs main bloodlines, his bloodline was extremely pure, and he possessed some of Great Tangâs Fate. As such, he had also heard the domineering roar from Zhao Fuâs Fate Dragon.
At the time, he felt as if there was a savage black dragon that was tens of thousands of meters long in front of him, and its terrifying aura made his entire soul tremble. As such, he said, âI believe we should try to establish friendly relations with Great Qinâs Legatee; at the very least, we must not become enemies!â
Those who had pure bloodlines heard the dragonâs roar, and they became somewhat pale. They could not resist the terror within them, so they all nodded and expressed their agreement.
Seeing how cowardly they were acting, the Li familyâs old patriarch became quite displeased, and he said angrily, âLook how stupid and cowardly youâre all acting. We have the Great Tang Empireâs Legacy, and we were called the âCelestial Empireâ long ago. Do we really have to fear Great Qinâs Legatee when he doesnât even have the Ying familyâs support?â
Hearing this, the others felt a bit more courage and confidence, but they still could not forget the trauma that the dragonâs roar had left on them.
At this moment, Li Baiqing lightly smiled and stood up as he said, âI believe that even though Great Qin is quite dangerous, itâs not yet time to focus on allies and enemies. Right now, the most important thing to do is to upgrade the Advanced Village into a Town, and itâs best if we do this before the four Great Families. Even though roughly 70% of Chinaâs Fate has been gathered by Great Qin, thereâs still about 30% remaining. Even though 30% does not look like much, itâs still a massive amount, and it is all that is left for Chinaâs other Legatees. The Li family must not give up on the Fate that is remaining.â
Those who heard Li Baiqingâs words all nodded, and they approved of what he said.
Following this, someone said, âI think that Great Qinâs Legatee must have some conflict with the Ying family, and now that the Ying family has almost gone mad, they still havenât found him. He must have a very good reason to not join the Ying family. I believe that we should try to convince Great Qinâs Legatee to join us; by openly working with the Wu family, the Ying family is blatantly disrespecting the Li family.â
Many people also agreed with this. However, the problem was that there was no information on Great Qinâs Legatee at all. Let alone trying to curry favor with him, they didnât even know who he was.
Following this, after discussing some more things, the meeting was concluded. After everyone left, only the Li familyâs old patriarch and Li Baiqing were left.
The Li familyâs old patriarchâs attitude was no longer as tough â he had also heard the terrifying dragonâs roar, and his expression became grim as he sighed and said, âQingâEr, right now, Great Qin has taken the number one spot in China. Itâs far more dangerous than any other faction, and it will be your greatest obstacle. You must not relax for even a moment.â
Li Baiqing sincerely nodded and said, âI understand, grandpa.â
The Li familyâs old patriarch cast aside his worries, and a kind smile appeared on his face as he chatted for a while longer. After this, Li Baiqing left to take care of some other matters.
Watching Li Baiqing leave, the Li familyâs old patriarch mused to himself. He was quite satisfied that he had such a talented grandson, and he had no more regrets. He only hoped that his grandson would be able to become Emperor while he was still alive.
As for everything that stood in his way⦠the Li familyâs old patriarchâs gaze became cold as he said, âButler! Find Great Qinâs Legatee at all costs!â
The butler outside walked in and nodded before leaving.
â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦
As for the Ying family, they had nearly gone mad. They had looked almost everywhere, but they still could not find Great Qinâs Legatee.
They didnât mind searching slowly, but their mysterious Legatee had caused shock after shock, each one greater than the last. Ever since Zhao Fu had obtained the Fate Legacy from last time, the Ying family had been the focus of all of China, and it was now even more so. Now, there were definitely hundreds of spies monitoring the Ying family.
The person who had obtained their ancestorâs legacy had now gathered Chinaâs Fate, which brought them glory and made them the focus of the entire world. However, the Legatee had also indirectly slapped them in the face, as he still refused to join the Ying family.
For the Legatee to obtain Great Qinâs Legacy and cause such a disturbance but not join the Ying family, how could that not be interpreted as a slap to the Ying familyâs face?
In actuality, most of the Ying familyâs bloodlines had harbored evil thoughts towards the Legatee. They wanted to find him and find a way to take their ancestorâs legacy.
However, things were different now. Great Qinâs Legatee had made Great Qin the focus of the world without any help â this was enough to demonstrate his extraordinary abilities.
With his abilities, he could surpass everyone in the Ying family. Even though they all looked down on the collateral family bloodlines, if he could really bring Great Qin to glory, the Ying family would truly consider submitting to the Legatee.
However, Great Qinâs Legatee refused to reveal himself, and they were at their witâs end. By this point, a few of the leaders of the Ying family were prepared to kneel down and beg for him to appear. However, this was too shameful, and if it werenât for the other large families, they most likely would have done something along those lines already.
So far, there were only slight clues as to where Great Qinâs Legatee was, based on the direction that Chinaâs Fate had flowed. From this, people had deduced that he was in the northern area of Midland Continent.
However, the northern area of Midland Continent was a large place, and a single region in the Heaven Awaken World was larger than an entire Province in China. There were thousands of regions in the north, and the total area was five times that of the entire earthâs. Even though they had a general direction, it would still be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, the northern area of Midland Continent became a forbidden region to all factions because they all knew that a terrifying existence resided there.
