"Master, what does this an?"
Suddenly abandoning such a large profit.
However, she hurriedly responded through voice transmission, "Yes, Master, Qing Lian will handle it imdiately."
Although puzzled in her heart, Qin Ke had previously instructed her that anything the master commanded must be executed imdiately, without a mont’s doubt.
After giving his instructions, Chen Xuan resud his cultivation; his focus now was on recovering his vital essence as quickly as possible.
Everything else was secondary.
One’s own strength is the most crucial.
...
Compared to Chen Xuan’s place, in the Imperial City, the atmosphere among the top families had plumted to an ice-cold point.
Especially the clan leaders of the top ten families, who at this mont looked ashen faced.
Combined, they controlled nearly half of Great Yu’s mining rights.
However, Great Yu suddenly took action to investigate this matter, and even the Liu family was not spared. They realized the severity of the situation.
Liu Gong Mansion.
"Uncle, please make a decision for the Liu Family. This ti they’re blatantly targeting our family."
A middle-aged man in black clothes kneeled, sobbing bitterly as he looked at Liu Daoxin.
Liu Rui, the current Patriarch of the Liu Family, a master at the Peak of Seventh Layer of Dao Realm.
In such a state, he cried like a child.
"Alright, as the Patriarch of the Liu Family, behaving in such a manner is inappropriate. Stand up!"
Liu Daoxin slowly opened his eyes and gave a light shout, instantly a great pressure appeared in the main hall.
"Uncle...."
Liu Rui wiped the tear stains from his eyes, although he was a thousand years old, he was still like a child in front of Liu Daoxin.
This ti, one of the legitimate line killed was even his son.
Although he never really cared for him, it was after all his blood.
His current state wasn’t an act in front of Liu Daoxin on purpose.
Sending the old to the grave before the young, how could he not be heartbroken.
"Alright, stand up."
Liu Daoxin’s tone also softened; his nephew had been conscientious for the Liu Family over the years, he had seen it all.
Now facing such a situation, he even lost a son; he could understand.
Liu Rui trembled as he rose, looking towards the pillar of support for the Liu Family. His expression was sorrowful, "Uncle, what should we do now?"
"Ah!"
Liu Daoxin let out a long sigh.
The Three Judicial Departnts, Ritual Departnt, and Shadow Guard, the three major forces of Great Yu were mobilized simultaneously, it was obvious whose idea it was.
"It seems the initial probe by the Three Judicial Departnts was just testing the waters. This is the real deal."
Even though he was one of the Three Dukes, he too felt a sense of helplessness rising within.
Facing Emperor Yu...what could he do?
"Stop making any more moves with the mining rights, or...hand them over to Great Yu."
The dangerous areas suppressed by Great Yu consu an astronomical number of Spirit Stones daily; Emperor Yu was also desperate.
As one of the Three Dukes, he knew, so for the greater good, he could only first oblige the Liu Family.
As for the future...we’ll see.
"Uncle... without those mining rights, the Liu Family will lose nearly half of its inco. Do you know how many mbers the family has now?"
Liu Rui imdiately panicked upon hearing this.
He ca here wanting his uncle to intervene; he didn’t care about other families, but the Liu Family’s interests couldn’t be compromised anymore.
"With your status, can’t you discuss with those parties?"
"Foolish!"
Liu Daoxin shouted angrily, his drowsy eyes suddenly widening, and his aura burst forth.
A trendous pressure appeared again in the great hall.
Even as a master at the Peak of Seventh Layer of Dao Realm, Liu Rui was like a lone leaf in the ocean under this pressure.
"Uncle..."
Frightened, he imdiately knelt down, his expression terrified; it was the first ti he saw Liu Daoxin this furious.
"Do as I say, otherwise, I...will no longer care for the Liu Family!"
"Boom!"
Instantly, Liu Rui felt as if struck by lightning.
No longer care for the Liu Family....
These four words echoed endlessly like a death knell in his mind.
The Liu Family’s current status wasn’t due to anyone else; it precisely relied on Liu Daoxin.
If he no longer cared for the Liu Family, it would be the end for them.
"No! Uncle, your nephew listens to you; you can’t disregard the Liu Family."
Liu Rui nearly burst into tears again.
Accursed fate!
If he knew it would co to this, he wouldn’t have co to Liu Gong Mansion; now his uncle not only refused to intervene but also asked him to give up the Liu Family’s mining rights.
"Enough!"
Liu Daoxin only felt ntally exhausted.
Family...family...there was no choice, he bore the Liu surna after all.
How could he not care?
He was just trying to intimidate Liu Rui.
"First go back, be honest about the burial grounds, the rest...we’ll talk later."
Liu Daoxin waved his hand.
"Yes!"
Liu Rui said no more, respectfully saluting before withdrawing from the hall.
"Ah!"
Looking at the empty hall, Liu Daoxin sighed deeply.
Even as one of the Three Dukes, in the face of imperial power, he was equally powerless.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to intervene, but...an annoying old man’s image erged in his mind.
Zhan Tian would never give him any face.
As for Liu Sheng, the two of them were as close as brothers.
And regarding the Shadow Guard...that was even more impossible.
"Forget it, everything can be discussed after the burial grounds."
...
The Liu Family surrendered all their controlled mining rights to Great Yu.
With the Three Judicial Departnts and Ritual Departnt fanning the flas, the news quickly spread throughout Great Yu.
The families that had been observing were deeply shocked.
Behind these two great families were Liu Sheng and Liu Daoxin.
Even they surrendered their acquired mining rights; these people finally understood that this was no joke.
For a ti, hearts were in turmoil.
To surrender the mining rights was unbearable, but not to surrender; when the ti cos, heads would roll.
