Just when Li Xinge thought this system broadcast was over.

The system voice sounded again:

[Congratulations to the host, it has been detected that your luck Lineage has met the conditions for promotion to level 2 Lineage. Do you want to be promoted?]

Li Xinge said without hesitation, "Yes."

[Lineage level promotion...]

When the system announced the promotion of Lineage, the sky above the entire Green Maple Valley suddenly burst into dazzling colorful rays of light. Faintly, a Dragon Roar sound seemed to be heard. This was a vision of luck being promoted.

Hearing this long series of system prompts, Li Xinge couldn't help but take a breath, especially after seeing clearly the rewards provided by the system, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. This was an all-round enhancement for himself and Lineage.

System, you are awesome!

Li Xinge gave the system a thumbs up.

At the same time, in the sky above Green Maple Valley, countless colorful stars invisible to the naked eye slowly fell like snowflakes, integrating into the bodies of every Li Lineage person, quietly strengthening their spirits and transforming their bodies.

And Li Xinge, after obtaining Innate Realm, Saint Body and Profound Tier Top-grade Cultivation Method, couldn't wait to start practicing.

As soon as he entered the cultivation state, Li Xinge felt that his mind was clear and his thoughts were clear. His cultivation speed had increased several times compared to before.

Sure enough, hard work and talent are still not as good as him.

"Great Elder, Song Family still has two fish that slipped through the net. These two fish that slipped through the net have some special identities, and it is not easy for us to deal with them."

Li Xuanzhong, the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall who was responsible for hunting down and killing the remaining members of the four families, said to the great elder.

The great elder raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "What's going on?"

"One of these two fishes that slipped through the net is our Baihe County's County Lieutenant, and the other is County Magistrate's master. Now these two guys have escaped our pursuit and hid in the county government office and refused to come out."

Li Xuanzhong smiled bitterly.

The great elder frowned slightly, if this was the case, then things would be difficult to handle.

Li Family is not arrogant enough to rush into the county government office and kill people. This is a serious crime tantamount to conspiracy.

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty is now weak, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. If you really want to be serious, you can kill hundreds or even thousands of the Li Family like this Lineage with just a breath.

After thinking for a long time, the Great Elder said in a deep voice, "I will personally go to Prefectural Office to negotiate with County Magistrate."

Baihe County, inside the gate of county Prefectural Office.

County Lieutenant Song Tianlie and County Magistrate master Song Tao knelt down in front of County Magistrate Gu Zhitíng and cried with tears in their eyes.

"Sir County Magistrate, you must make the decision for us. That Li Family looks so arrogant and tries to kill an official of the imperial court in broad daylight. This is completely disrespectful of the imperial court and does not take you seriously."

Gu Zhitíng was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, sipping the newly brewed hot tea comfortably, looking at the two guys kneeling on the ground in a miserable state, a hint of sarcasm and ridicule flashed in his eyes.

These two guys, relying on the Song Family's power, had their eyes above their heads and ignored him, but they didn't expect that they would be here today.

Of course, although I was gloating in my heart, I didn't show it on my face.

He just flicked his sleeves and pretended to be angry. "This Li Family is too presumptuous."

Seeing that County Magistrate was furious, the master's eyes were filled with joy, and he quickly said, "Master County Magistrate, under your rule, this Li Family wantonly slaughtered the Aristocratic Clan family and harmed the common people. This is a clear rebellion. If you can write to the imperial court and ask the imperial court to send troops to destroy it, then you will have done a great job."

County Lieutenant also followed. "Master is right, Master County Magistrate, maybe with this merit, you will be able to move up the ranks."

Seeing the two of them trying their best to seduce him, County Magistrate sneered in his heart, these two idiots, the abacus beads fell on his face, did they really treat him Gu Zhitíng as a fool?

I'm afraid that as soon as he sends the letter, news will come out that the county government office has been breached by bandits and that Mr. County Magistrate died a heroic death for his country.

"I understand the mood of both of you, but these are troubled times. The imperial court is deploying troops everywhere, and it really has no spare time. And Li Family, there is no conclusive evidence to prove that he is treason. He is falsely accusing a good person, which is against the imperial court's wisdom."

Gu Zhitíng said with careless eyes.

How could County Lieutenant not know that Gu Zhitíng was fooling them? They couldn't help but secretly cursed Gu Zhitíng as a coward. Just as they were about to continue speaking, a government servant came in, whispered something in front of Gu Zhitíng's ear.

Gu Zhitíng showed a solemn look on his face, nodded to the Yamen servant, and said, "Please ask the guests to wait, I will be there soon."

"Yes, Master County Magistrate."

The yamen officer retired.

For some reason, County Lieutenant and Master suddenly felt uneasy in their hearts. They quickly hugged Gu Zhitíng's thigh and begged, "Sir County Magistrate, for the sake of your colleagues, you must save us."

"You are all officials of the imperial court. Such behavior is really disgraceful to the imperial court."

After saying that, he left the two of them and walked towards the living room.

In the living room, Li Family First Elder Li Xuantong has been waiting for a long time.

Seeing County Magistrate arriving, Li Xuantong stood up first, bowed his hands and said, "Li Family First Elder Li Xuantong, I have met Mr. County Magistrate!"

Gu Zhitíng quickly waved his hand and said with a smile, "Li Family First Elder, you are a rare visitor. Why are you here today?"

Li Xuantong got straight to the point and said without any hesitation, "Master County Magistrate, please hand over those two Song Family remnants."

Seeing that Li Xuantong was so strong, Gu Zhitíng squinted his eyes, feeling displeased, and said lightly, "Where did the remnants of the Song Family come from in the important place of the county government?"

Li Xuantong chuckled and gave a low high-five. In Gu Zhitíng's confused eyes, a Li Family monk held a box in front of Gu Zhitíng. He opened the box, and the dazzling golden light made Gu Zhitíng unable to move his eyes anymore.

After the box was closed, Gu Zhitíng reluctantly moved his eyes away from the box, pretending to be angry and said, "Great Elder, what are you doing?"

"Five hundred taels of gold, no thanks."

The great elder chuckled.

Gu Zhitíng: "People are in the backyard."

"One more thing, the position of County Lieutenant is about to be vacant. I, Li Family Disciple, am very willing to serve the imperial court!"

Gu Zhitíng shook his head. "County Lieutenant is an eighth-grade official. I only have the right to make suggestions, not appointments. The right to appoint is in the hands of Prefectural Office."

The great elder chuckled and said, "I, Li Family, will take care of it myself in the state capital. Master County Magistrate just needs to report the name of my son, Li Family."

Gu Zhitíng was shocked and nodded immediately.

Seeing that the purpose of this trip had been achieved, the great elder stood up and said with cupped hands, "County Magistrate is busy with business, so I won't disturb you anymore. Please stay."

After saying that, he stood up and left.

Watching the great elder's retreating back, the smile on Gu Zhitíng's face gradually disappeared, and he felt a sense of powerlessness welling up in his heart.

A Song Family fell, and a stronger Li Family came.

How long will he be a puppet?
