Chapter 776: Allegiance
This is the point where a young person might waver in the face of great power. Even if they had already made up their mind, when someone held your fate in their hands and was looking sternly down at you it created a sort of mental pressure. A sort of pressure that was best felt by youngsters trying to break out from their parents' shadows, but it was also something that the Ci Clan Head felt at this moment. The difference in status between the two was far greater than a parent and child, if Xie Bian wished to, she could do to the Ci Clan what they had just finished doing to the Fu Clan and others might only say that it was deserved.
In this world, the powerful made the rules and the Chong Clan was much more powerful than the Ci Clan. It definitely took a lot of courage to openly ask to break off from the Chong Clan. The Ci Clan Head carefully rose to her feet and then gave another low bow, We are sure, Matriarch.nôvel binz was the first platform to present this chapter.
Thankfully, the Chong Clan was not so small minded or vicious enough to make an example out of the Ci Clan. Xie Bian merely nodded and then patted a hand upon the top of the other womans head. From purely appearances, the women looked to be of similar ages, but one of them was looking positively pleased to have her head pat like one might pamper a pet. Then, Xie Bian turned her steely gaze over to the heads of the other three branches and the three of them froze in place.
Do any of the other branches feel the same way?
The Yi Matriarch, Jie Clan Head, and Min Clan Head quickly shook their heads and bowed profusely, adding a quick round of praise for the Chong Clans Matriarch. They glanced at the Ci Clan Head with such pity that Sage felt like they still thought the woman was going to get murdered, but such a moment never came. After such a long period of unease, the Ci Clan Head was sent away after getting a few pats on the head. Without receiving any further abuse or commands, the Ci Clan Head strode over to Yating and knelt in front of him. She lowered her head to the ground and kowtowed for the second time today.
Just like that, the Ci Clan changed allegiance and the Chong Clan let them. There was no further explanation and most were left to wonder about the reasoning behind this decision. Even Sage was surprised by this turn of events as hed imagined that the Chong Clan would make an example out of the Ci Clan. Letting them leave meant they felt quite highly of the Lang Clan and also that they werent quite as worried of the other first rate powers as they seemed previously.
Just like Cultivators are a different class. They think that the normal rules dont apply to those that are of a lower class than themselves.
At some point, Sage stopped thinking about these rumors about himself, the Lang Clan, and the Chong Clan. He had already been back at Lionheart Town for a few weeks now. Most of the Lang Clan had already started to disperse through 10,000 Wave Province in order to inspect and exert their control over the many counties and cities. There were only a few lone Nascent Souls inhabiting the province and Yating made sure to send one of his siblings to meet with these people. One of them was a County Prefect, while two others merely controlled a single village.
These villages were basically made up entirely of their own family clans. They cared little about power, and they controlled a specific resource to provide for their family which over time developed into a whole village. If they wanted to, they could easily have taken a city or county so they were either guarding secrets or truly didnt want any power. Either way, they were the only ones that the Lang Clan had to be careful of. They were treated with respect and given gifts from their new lord. Every city and county had to give a portion of their resources to the province, who then had to give a portion to the kingdom itself. The Lang Clan merely had to make sure the ones below them continued to offer up their tributes.
At least, thats how others saw it. There was also an unspoken rule that the Chong Clan was also putting into practice. When a new leader came into power, they would put their house in order. Anyone that didnt match their standard would be replaced. At this time, the Prefects of Red Jungle, Dawn Mountain, and Daybreak Valley were in the process of changing hands. Sage had already got his vengeance against the former holders of these positions and others had stepped in to take over. As such, they were already on shaky ground so they were the easiest to swap again. Just like other first rate powers, they wanted to control most of the counties with their own people. If they controlled at least half of the counties theyd never have to worry about the others ganging up to overthrow them. Rogue Nascent Souls teaming up with the county prefects had overthrown more than one first rate power in the past, and nobody wanted to repeat that history.
It was also a good chance to inspect all the properties and receive gifts. Those that didnt want to be replaced would go above and beyond to prove their worth and pledge loyalty. If they gave enough they could keep their positions, but if they were too stingy then their new lord would just take it all and put someone new in their place. Yating was especially good at determining the wealth of the counties and cities and knowing just how much they could give.
There were many new City Lords and County Prefects in 10,000 Wave Province, but Sage was no longer concerned with these issues. He had faith in the new Lang Clan and it was far past time that he got back to his own pursuits.
