Su Chen wants the entire Eastern Domain, so he needs these people to help the Su Family manage Eastern Domain.
If they were all killed, the entire Eastern Domain would descend into chaos, which was something Su Chen did not want to see.
Seeing their frightened expressions, Su Chen nodded secretly.
They should be able to behave themselves now.
The Qingran Holy Lord and the Zhou Family Ancestor exchanged a glance, both swallowing hard before obediently sitting down in their chairs.
The previous dissatisfaction with Su Chen had long since vanished.
In this world, right and wrong are determined by strength.
When you have power, everything you do is right, even if it's terribly wrong, and a large number of people will still follow you and flatter you.
Su Chen remained silent, and the atmosphere in the hall became heavy once again.
With the Tianlang Holy Lord having perished, they dare not provoke Su Chen at all.
The key is that Su Chen's strength is extremely powerful. Even if the Tiansheng Sect came, they would definitely not escape unscathed.
This is a Saint Venerable level powerhouse!
In an era where Great Emperor and Sages are absent, the Saint Venerable is the ultimate powerhouse.
Although there is an Ancient Sage Realm above the Saint Venerable, cultivators at this level are extremely rare.
After a long while, Su Chen said calmly:
"I've called you all here today to discuss something."
Discuss?
Everyone looked at Su Chen, but seeing his indifferent expression, they quickly looked away.
Is it really possible to... negotiate?
Zhou Yunlong swallowed hard. Although he was somewhat afraid, he still gritted his teeth and forced a smile, saying ingratiatingly:
"I don't know what you want us to do, sir, but I will Certain do my best."
I'll do it!
Everyone turned to look at Zhou Yunlong. "You think you're so clever?"
They knew Su Chen had no intention of negotiating, so what was about to happen would definitely cost everyone present a fortune.
But they still held onto a sliver of hope: what if Su Chen didn't care about their interests?
Su Chen looked at Zhou Yunlong, who immediately lowered his head, his face full of humility.
For the Zhou family to continue to survive, they must rely on a powerful figure, and Su Chen is a perfect fit.
As long as Su Chen takes a liking to the Zhou family, then even after his demise, the Zhou family will Certain be able to survive well in this world.
Su Chen continued calmly, "It's good to have this awareness; it can prevent a bloody conflict."
"What I want to discuss is very simple: my Su family wants to unify the entire Eastern Region, and all of you, including but not limited to, must submit to my Su family."
"Who here agrees and who disagrees?"
After Su Chen finished speaking, he looked at them calmly.
Unify the Eastern Domain!
These words were like Sky Breaker, leaving everyone present stunned.
Even the three members of the Su Family were somewhat dumbfounded.
Su Chen summoned these people not to demonstrate his power, but to seize control of the Eastern Domain in one fell swoop.
Su Qingtian's eyes were filled with excitement. If these people really Submission to the Su Family, their power would be unprecedented.
Faced with Su Chen's words, all the Saint present felt as if their breath had stopped.
They initially thought Su Chen only wanted them to offer some benefits.
But no one expected that Su Chen intended to take them all for himself.
However, it was clear that no one was very willing, and their faces showed hesitation.
As the Ancestor or patriarchs of various powerful forces, they have always been the most influential figures. Now, however, they are to become vassals of others. How can they accept this?
However, Su Chen's strength was too great, and his tone was very cold, which made them dare not refuse easily, for fear that they would be the next Tianlang Holy Lord.
For a moment, the hall fell into dead silence.
Su Chen didn't bother with pleasantries. He said in a detached tone, "Qingran Holy Lord, why don't you make your first gesture?"
Qingran Holy Lord's expression froze instantly. How could I express myself? What could I possibly say?
If I refused, I'd probably be killed on the spot, right?
In fact, he had already thought it through and agreed to submit to Submission Su Family.
However, the Qingran Holy Lord was still somewhat unwilling.
His Qingran Holy Land was, after all, a Saint King Realm- level power. In the past, others had always been their vassals, but now they were about to become vassals of others.
That's so embarrassing.
If word gets out, how will their Qingran Holy Land save face?
The Qingran Holy Lord felt helpless, but he still forced a smile and said, "The Eastern Domain has indeed been in some chaos recently and urgently needs a strong leader to guide it."
"The Su Family a perfect fit, so I agree to Young Master Su Chen's request. From now on, my Qingran Holy Land will be a vassal of the Su Family."
Hearing these righteous words, Zhou Yunlong glanced at him silently.
The old man's flattery skills remain as impressive as Past all these years.
Those present were all shrewd old men; even if they were unwilling, they showed no sign of it on their faces.
On the contrary, they all seemed very happy, completely demonstrating the meaning of hypocrisy.
There was really no other way; Su Chen's strength was too great, and they simply couldn't withstand it.
Resistance is a dead end.
Now they can only hope that the Su Family will show mercy and not exploit them too harshly, otherwise they really won't be able to survive.
Su Chen nodded in satisfaction. "Don't worry, my Su Family has always been lenient in its dealings. The forces present here only need to pay their dues annually as usual."
"According to the rules of my Su Family, there are two types of tributes. One is to hand over 20% of the income each year, and the other is to hand over a certain amount of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. My Su Family will inform you of the specifics when the time comes."
"But don't worry, there won't be too many."
20%?
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although 20% was still a significant amount, it was still within their acceptable range.
They were actually prepared to hand over half or even 60%, but they didn't expect the Su Family to only ask for 20%.
In an instant, the resentment people felt towards the Su Family lessened considerably.
If it's only 20%, then everyone can accept it.
Although Submission the Su Family is somewhat shameful, they are powerful Saint Venerables, and the law of the jungle prevails, so it's understandable.
The main problem is that they only have two choices: Submission or die.
Nobody wants to die.
Zhou Yunlong quickly expressed his willingness to Submission.
Neither of the two Saint King Realm- level forces resisted, and although the others were still resentful, they had no choice but to agree.
"We are also willing to submit to the Su family."
Seeing a group of powerful Saint submit Submission the Su Family, Su Hongyuan and his two companions appeared calm, but their hearts were already churning with turbulent emotions.
All the powerful forces in the Eastern Domain Submission to the Su Family. Does that mean the entire Eastern Domain now belongs to them?
Good heavens!
In just a hundred years, the Su Family has undergone earth-shattering changes, making them feel as if they are living in a dream.
