Chapter 1007: Chapter 532: The Great Assembly of a Hundred Tribes_2 Chapter 1007: Chapter 532: The Great Assembly of a Hundred Tribes_2 Lin Shihua had anticipated the thoughts of these people.
After all, he had been serving as the Lin Family Patriarch for nearly a hundred years. With so many years of experience, he had beco a person of ticulous thought. With just a little contemplation, he could understand the cultivators’ thoughts.
Thus, Lin Shihua was quite calm, and without neglecting anyone, he did not readily express his stance.
In his view, the Lin Family’s strength was formidable anyway. The Lin Family clan stood as a Sect Overlord, always controlling the lifeline of these people.
With such conditions, the Lin Family need not compromise with these minor forces.
Understanding this point, Lin Shihua casually greeted so cultivators in the front row, then chatted for a bit.
When the sunlight crossed the peaks and shone on the square, Lin Shihua felt it was about ti.
...
He stood up, looked down at the many cultivators below, and then slowly said, “The auspicious ti has co; the assembly begins!”
“Fellow daoists, I am Lin Shihua, Clan Leader of the Lin Family, and on behalf of the Lin Family, I welco everyone to the assembly.”
As soon as these words were spoken, imdiately so began to offer complints.
“Haha… Chief Lin is too kind. It is an honor for all of us, cultivators from various great families, to attend such an assembly!”
“Indeed…”
“To be affiliated with the Lin Family, and henceforth under the protection of the Lin Family, our families will surely flourish, and our strength will greatly increase…”
“…”
Hearing the praises of the cultivators below, one after another, Lin Shihua, though always composed, felt quite gratified.
For a mont, he felt a surge of excitent within him.
And to speak of such a scene, it would be unrealistic to say he was not stirred.
After all, such a bustling scene was sothing he had not even dared to dream of before, yet now it had beco a reality.
Thus, facing these minor forces aligned with the Lin Family, Lin Shihua’s heart was filled with ripples.
The reason being that he was the leader of a clan; from now on, he would have to manage the family forces present before him.
It was foreseeable that he would be even busier in the future.
After all, the thousand-plus cultivators present all hailed from twelve mountain ranges under the control of the Lin Family.
After a ticulous tally by Lin Family mbers, over seven hundred families within the Lin Family’s domain sent representatives to the assembly.
Among them, seventy-seven were Foundation Establishing Families, and all the rest were Qi Refining Families.
In these Foundation Establishing Families, about forty percent were originally affiliated with Qingyun Sect, all residing within the five mountain ranges acquired later.
The rest of the Foundation Establishing Families ca from territories under the Zhenyang Sect.
The reason why families originally from Huangyang Kingdom accounted for only forty percent of the total number was that most families on that domain moved their clan grounds before the transfer deadline.
Regarding these relocating families, the Lin Family did not obstruct their departure.
Now, only so many remained in the area, and all sent representatives to the assembly today.
In actuality, following the departure of these relocating families, those mountain ranges were left quite vacant.
At the very least, the five mountain ranges later acquired by the Lin Family covered a vast area, not at all smaller—in fact, even larger—than the combined area of the seven mountain ranges obtained from Zhenyang Sect.
These twelve mountain ranges varied in size, but even the smallest, Hengyang Mountain Range, was sowhat larger than Luoyun Mountain Range, where the Lin Family resided.
Even the Songyuan Mountain Range and Lanling Mountain Range, originally belonging to Qingyun Sect, as well as the Qianchuan Mountain Range under Zhenyang Sect control—being closer to the heartland of the country—each had an area equal to two of the Luoyun Mountain Ranges.
With the transfer period approaching, nearly half the families had departed.
Those once crowded mountain ranges also saw many treasured lands beco vacant.
Now, the families settled on these domains controlled by the Lin Family were relatively sparsely distributed.
And for this matter, the Lin Family also made so long-term plans.
Today’s assembly was also to establish so rules and to reveal the family’s layout for maximizing benefits.
Thinking of these matters, Lin Shihua didn’t intend to delay any longer.
He waved his hand, breaking the noisy atmosphere.
As the crowd quieted down, Lin Shihua spoke loudly, “Fellow daoists, your presence at this assembly fills Lin Mou with imnse satisfaction!”
“`
“Next, Lin Mou will read out the rules established by the Lin Family, and I hope that the clansn behind each one of you fellow Daoists will abide by the rules!”
“Lin Mou is putting it plainly now, any family that knowingly violates these rules will be held accountable by our Lin Family!”
As he spoke, Lin Shihua’s tone beca stern, his expression noticeably more serious, and supported by his Foundation Establishnt Seventh Level cultivation aura, he imdiately intimidated the crowd.
Seeing that every cultivator below had a solemn expression, Lin Shihua shifted his tone.
“Hehe…My fellow Daoists need not be overly tense!”
“After all, our Lin Family’s legacy is not long, and the territories we currently hold are quite vacant, with plenty of spirit land industries to go around.”
“Now that Wei Kingdom has just restored peace, it can be said to be in need of rebuilding.”
“In the future, as long as the major families comply with the rules, our Lin Family will naturally not be stingy; on the contrary, we will offer so resources and special policies to support certain powers.”
“You can certainly rest assured about this!”
Hearing these words that combined both a soft and hard approach, the cultivators below reacted, and the atmosphere eased a great deal.
In fact, so cultivators even quickly stood up, complenting the Lin Family while also not forgetting to show their loyalty.
With soone taking the lead, imdiately more cultivators began to speak up, and the scene montarily beca enthusiastic.
Seeing this, Lin Shihua nodded in satisfaction.
Then, he waved his hand to the crowd below, suppressing the noisy atmosphere.
Following that, Lin Shihua began to read out the various rules that the Lin Family had set.
And these simple rules were in fact similar to those set by the Zhenyang Sect, which were also a basic order in the Cultivation World.
It could even be said that if the Lin Family had not gone through this formality, those cultivators would still have been able to continue according to normal order, without creating a chaotic situation over minor disagreents or grudges.
After all, strength has always been paramount in the Cultivation World.
With absolute strength, even annihilating a sworn enemy would not lead the Sect Overlords to pursue the matter too aggressively.
At any rate, as long as the interests of the Sect Overlords were not hard, they would often turn a blind eye to certain issues.
Such as the internal strife that occurred in the Luoyun Mountain Range, the Zhenyang Sect could have stopped it in ti had they wished.
But since the battle did not last long and the Luoyun Mountain Range was remote and relatively barren, practically a place for free range, the Zhenyang Sect couldn’t be bothered to manage such a minor location.
It was for these reasons that the Lin Family was able to overthrow the Jin Family in a very short ti without the Zhenyang Sect pursuing the matter.
Now that the Lin Family had taken control of twelve mountain ranges and resolved the territorial limitations, it was natural to manage them properly.
For this, the Lin Family had complented the existing rules by filling in so common loopholes, aiming to firmly control all the several hundred families under their banner.
Sure enough, after Lin Shihua’s announcent, it quickly sparked heated discussion among the many cultivators.
Generally speaking, the rules set by the Lin Family were not much different from those of the Zhenyang Sect and the Qingyun Sect.
But the rules of the Lin Family were more comprehensive, with stricter control over disputes between different forces.
At the sa ti, the Lin Family’s control over the various spirit lands and workshops was also much stricter.
In fact, the Lin Family took such asures mainly to prevent those powers from losing too much due to disagreents or interests.
After all, with the twelve mountain ranges currently quite empty, should any crisis arise in the future, the cultivators summoned by the Lin Family would likely be of lower strength.
Such a situation was not favorable for the Lin Family.
Thus, the Lin Family commanded those families with disputes to put aside their prejudices and restrain themselves, to recuperate for a while before anything else.
And those family cultivators below, after pondering for a mont, also had mixed views on the matter.
In their eyes, although they would be subject to certain restrictions in the future, upon reflection, the Lin Family was also doing it for a long-term peaceful territory.
And these were what most cultivators wanted to see.
After all, no one wants to live in constant fear, nor do they wish for their families to be constantly embroiled in major wars, thus affecting the normal developnt of their families.
Consequently, although there were intense conflicts between so families, even almost reaching an irreconcilable point,
But due to the current formidable influence of the Lin Family, and the fact that the Lin Family was indeed willing to offer a portion of benefits as compensation, those cultivators with differing views could only let the matter go unresolved in the end.
