RULING SYSTEM
The Weakest
The five shadows of Jiu Wei directly attacked the two figures of the snake human race, resulting in a fierce fight there.
The other family that saw it was intent on meddling in the fight to help the two snake-human races.
But before they took a step, suddenly hundreds of wooden spears floated between them, bringing them to a standstill.
"I thought the whole family would unite to fight us, but it turns out that many of them ran away like rats being chased by cats" Xian Ran said in a derogatory tone.
At first Xian Ran was afraid that the whole family would unite forces and fight them but it turned out that most of the family were cowards who ran away in a storm when they saw Bing Hua's strength.
At this time of course Xian Ran had the confidence to fight them alone despite being outnumbered but Xian Ran was confident that he was winning in terms of strength.
"You're a lot of basic self-knowing shit!!
Attack it!!
An entire family of 60 monsters surrounded Xian Ran forming a formation to carry out an attack.
Xian Ran remained silent and did not intend to escape from within the formation.
"With our current numbers and strength, then you will be unable to do anything" said one family with high confidence that they could defeat Xian Ran.
They thought that Xian Ran was the weakest of the two, so they all underestimated Xian Ran's ability.
Xian Ran who understood their path of thought. It could be seen from the facial expressions of those who looked disdainful of themselves.
Xian Ran did admit that he was the weakest of his five sisters after Yan Lin, but seeing that he was underestimated like that somehow made him very upset.
"Do you think if I am weak between the two of them then you can easily defeat me? if you think like that, dream!!"
Xian Ran pointed his hundreds of spears towards the enemy who was besieging him. Those hundreds of spears could be easily avoided or stalked by the heads of those families.
There were twenty family heads as well as family members who were dealing with Xian Ran. But among them there are only 5 families that have high enough strength and worth to watch out for.
Xian Ran realized that and remained vigilant even though he was confident that he could defeat them with a lot of effort and energy drained.
The five families in question were the Liang family led by Liang Bufang, the Qun family led by Qun Nan, the Sui family led by Sui Lao, the Bai family led by Bai Zeng, and the Zhang family led by Zhang Xiu.
The five families were the five wind-eye gatekeeper families in the dark empire. They are in charge of protecting the inner regions from the attacks of wild beasts or evil spirits.
"The "wooden element and life energy are very concentrated as well as pointed ears. You must be from the elf race. To my knowledge the elf race has never been interested in fighting or meddling in it or even making trouble with other races. Isn't that so Miss?" Liang Bufang asked and there was a veiled intention in his words.
Xian Ran of course was aware of that and did not lower his guard, because if he left just a little it would be fatal for him.
"That's true."
Liang Bufang smiled at Xian Ran's reply.
"If it's like that then we'll give you an offer."
"Offer?" Bing Hua was a little interested in the offer.
After defeating him, you will be given abundant resources and prosperous life in this realm without any interference under the protection of my Liang family."
Liang Bufang made an offer that he thought would be beneficial for Xian Ran. Seeing the potential of Xian Ran being so promising then it is better to invite him to be his ally rather than kill him
And if it is under the protection of his family then it will bring benefits to his family because it will increase a strong figure again.
With that then the Liang family will become a very feared family among the 5 gatekeeper families.
Liang Bufang smiled sumringah for having made a big move that would bring about a change for his family.
The other families who were aware of Liang Bufang's intentions did not stay silent and made the same offer as Liang Bufang towards Xian Ran.
"You'll be under the auspices of my alchemist association and will enjoy the limitless resources there with a wide variety of high-level pills." said Sui Lao who is the leader of the Sui family as well as the chairman of the alchemist association.
The Sui family was indeed known as a prominent alchemist gathering place in the empire of darkness, because even high-ranking imperial officials had to be respectful when meeting him.
"No he will be under the auspices of my treasure association! there he will enjoy unlimited resources and possessions."
"You'd better join the association of weapons and artifacts.You'll be treated special there by freely choosing whatever weapons you want."
The family heads of the five gatekeeper families were competing to recruit Xian Ran into their families.
The other family who saw that looked puzzled. Still in formation to attack them remained there waiting for the commotion made by the old man to humble.
Xian Ran laughed inwardly when he heard the offer from the 5 families and surely Xian Ran knew the foul intentions of those who wanted to harness his power to gain even more power.
'The five of them are really very greedy." even with the power and strength they currently have, it hasn't been enough for them and want to add more power to eat each other.
All the races that lived - both humans, demons, monsters and races themselves - had an unusually large lust for greed. They will not hesitate to use others for their own sake.
The five families suddenly stopped favoring each other to make Xian Ran interested.
The five family leaders looked towards Xian Ran. They wanted to hear which family Xian Ran had chosen.
"I'm flattered by your offer and I'm interested in Liang Bufang's family's offer so I want to destroy it first" Xian Ran said grinning and then making a hand seal.
Liang BuFang Yang initially smiled now burned with anger after hearing Xian Ran's words afterwards.
"You overestimate yourself, young man, it's too bad that a genius like you rejected our offer and died more."
Xian Ran did not care. Xian Ran's body was surrounded by a deep green aura. From that aura felt an extremely concentrated life energy, even around Xian Ran grew some plants as a result of that life energy.
"Autmost control."
Wuss!
From the ground came many roots running towards the family who surrounded him.
"Liberate Wind!!" The 4 members of the Bai family cut the roots with their wind element. But no matter how much they cut, the roots grew again and attacked towards them like endless.
