2155 This is the Undesirable Outcome!
Lin Yuan scrutinized Jin Qianxun as he spoke.
Given Lin Yuan’s understanding of Jin Qianxun’s character, he had not expected to hear such words from him.
By saying such a thing at such a time, it showed that Jin Qianxun, at the very least, did have ambition.
Su Yiren was also momentarily impressed with Jin Qianxun.
If Jin Qianxun was able to gain the sworn loyalties of the leaders of the secret aristocratic families with Lin Yuan’s help, he would be able to control the core of the entire Great Lush Federation through them.
!!This would be a smart move with lasting effects.
Hou Meng had been suppressing his emotions.
From the way that he was able to distinguish himself from the other leaders of secret aristocratic families and already gain slight acknowledgment from them, it proved that Hou Meng was not an ordinary person.
However, the combination of his disappointment and bitterness toward Jin Qianxun caused Hou Meng to lose control and try to put Jin Qianxun on the spot.
“Jin Qianxun, what gives you the right to ask all of us to swear our loyalty to you?”
Hou Meng was not the only person who had been eyeing the throne of the Great Lush Federation.
The Wei and Gu families had comparable power to the Hou family.
Wei Haodong and Gu Wanting already had high positions in their families before Fifth Page Truth died. They had been in charge of managing their families’ main affairs.
However, it was inevitable that they would face pushback from other members of their families.
Now that they had managed to become their families’ leaders, they wanted to advance their families’ power.
After Hou Meng spoke up, Wei Haodong and Gu Wanting also chimed in. Both of them came in with more force in their demeanors than Hou Meng did.
The few families who had allied with the Hou, Wei, and Gu families also voiced their agreement.
However, they were all quickly silenced by Jin Qianxun’s dominance.
Jin Qianxun could not help but glance at Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan caught Jin Qianxun’s eyes and said, “I already made myself clear. You can do whatever you want.”
Jin Qianxun bit his lip and said something that shocked even himself, “Kill everyone who doubts me! Then, I’ll need to trouble Elder Weng’s beloved disciple to help me to pick out a spokesperson from the families whose heads are killed.”
The moment Jin Qianxun finished speaking, a black shadow shot out from the shadow under Lin Yuan’s feet.
A trail of bloody fallen bodies was left wherever the shadow streaked past.
The sudden deaths caused the leaders of the secret aristocratic families who had been watching from the sidelines to slap their hands over their mouths.
The timid leaders of secret aristocratic families felt their legs go weak, and their bodies start to tremble.
These people had all basked in the comfort of their statuses within their families and had never been in a position like this where they were dispensable and could be killed at any moment.
Hou Meng, Wei Haodong, and Gu Wanting had been larger than life but had died as though they had amounted to nothing.
Now, it made sense that even a Class 5 Creation Master had bowed to this young man and that his presence gave even Jin Qianxun the courage to try and fight for that coveted seat.
The blood spilled from their bodies had not yet turned cold.
It did not take long for the first leader of a secret aristocratic family to step out to swear his loyalty to Jin Qianxun.
After the first one, the second one soon followed.
Under the formidable pressures of confusion and the risk of death, the people present had no backbone to speak of.
Weng Baochuan was slightly displeased with Jin Qianxun ordering him around.
But at the same time, he knew that Jin Qianxun was wielding the might provided by this young man.
Furthermore, his master had also pledged his loyalty to this young man, meaning that he also needed to do the same.
His master had told him to go out and train, and there was a high chance that he meant for Weng Baochuan to accompany this young man.
Hence, leaving a good impression on this young man was imperative.
For this reason, Weng Baochuan became very serious when he left to carry out his task of picking out a spokesperson from each of the families whose leaders had just been killed.
The people who Weng Baochuan picked were all excited but nervous at the same time. They tried to guess why Weng Queji needed to see them and thought, Did I do something to catch the Class 5 Creation Master’s eye? Why else would a Class 5 Creation Master suddenly ask to meet someone as insignificant as me?
The moment they entered the tent, the metallic stench of blood filled their nostrils.
The instant that they glanced at the bodies littering the ground, every single one of them started to quiver.
But before they could make any guesses as to what led to this horrific scene, Jin Qianxun said sternly, “Your original family heads refused to become loyal to me and have paid the price for that decision.
“If you swear your loyalty to me now, you can become the next head of your family. Otherwise, you will meet the same end as they did. I wonder who in your family will be the lucky next candidate to be selected after your death.”
Jin Qianxun’s words were not just meant to frighten them but also laid out the potential gains and losses.
Those who were loyal to him would have the chance to become the leaders of their families and enjoy untold riches and glory.
The only other option was death!
None of the people who had just arrived dared to question the truth of what Jin Qianxun said because the bodies on the ground were proof enough.
It did not take long for all of the leaders of the secret aristocratic families who were present to swear their loyalties to Jin Qianxun.
Although Jin Qianxun had not become the king of the Great Lush Federation, it could be said that he already had a legitimate claim to the throne.
Even Fifth Page Truth had not had such an iron-fisted control over the Great Lush Federation as Jin Qianxun did now.
While the leaders of the secret aristocratic families were taking turns swearing their loyalties to him, Jin Qianxun’s mood was going through a series of changes.
Jin Qianxun enjoyed the feeling of power he now wielded but also felt gratitude and fear for Lin Yuan.
He knew that everything he had came from Lin Yuan.
If Lin Yuan was unwilling to give him these things, anyone from the Great Lush Federation, no matter how low their background was, would be able to take the throne of the Great Lush Federation.
The fear and gratitude pounded into Jin Qianxun that the most important thing he needed to do after taking the throne was to do his best to please Lin Yuan.
After the last leader of a secret aristocratic family had sworn his loyalty to Jin Qianxun, he said, “Go back to your families and lead them back to Clean Brahma City! I trust that you know what to do and say. Once you’re back in Clean Brahma City, I don’t want to hear a peep of discontent at my coronation ceremony. Otherwise, you can expect to meet the same end as these people on the ground!”
