Chapter 860: Even the Dog Swaggers When Its Master Wins Favor

Carving up territories was a wonderful thing.

Mystical Materials, many affiliated families and extended spaces were all that would come with territories. Larger territories and added Mystical Materials could provide support to more warriors. Powerful warriors would come, which could make the family stronger.

Even the dog swaggers when its owner wins favor.

Lu Li was not a saint. The Lu Family was his family. Naturally, it was his hope to help the Lu Family become stronger. The five families either escaped or were ruined. He would not give such a vast area away up to other families.

Lu Li had given his consent. That was final. Patriarchs of the Lu Family discussed in excitement. How should they divide the territory? Which part should the Lu Family take? Only after the Lu Family had decided would they invite Great Buddhist Temple, Pavilion of Delicacy and Tumulus of Universe to join them.

The Central Plains was a pie that was cut up to 12 slices. Now, five were untaken. Four forces had come to share the five slices among them.

Patriarchs of the Lu Family decided that the Lu Family would take two out of the five and the Pavilion of Delicacy, Great Buddhist Temple and Tumulus of Universe each would have one.

Upon obtaining two more pieces of territories, the Lu Family would claim the most territories in the Great Land, which could manifest Lu Family’s distinguished status. Lu Family would grow from that point on and become more prosperous.

But which two? That was a question that troubled Lu Family patriarchs. Only the piece of land that once belonged to the Pavilion of Blossoms was close to the Lu Family, just to the west. The other four pieces were far away from the Lu Family.

The Samsara Palace was at the southwest of the Central Plains, Yaksha Race was at the south, Life League was in the middle and the Hades Society was in the northwest.

The only way for Lu Family to have connected territories was to give up their place at the east and relocate to where the Samsara Palace was, and then combine with the territories of the Yaksha Race and the Life League in the middle.

To have disconnected territories would add difficulties in management and development. Toward the end, a patriarch proposed a bold idea. The Lu Family would stay where they were. They would take Pavilion of Blossoms’ territory and Tumulus of Universe’s place which was at the southeast.

In this way, the three pieces could be connected. Lu Family could have an extended area at the east and southeast. In the future, this layout could be convenient whether for management, development or defense.

Of course!

Obtaining Tumulus of Universe’s place did not mean that they were going to be destroyed. The Lu Family’s plan was to give Tumulus of Universe territories of the Samsara Palace and the Yaksha Race. The Samsara Palace owned the most prosperous lands of the entire Central Plains with the largest number of mines and lodes. Once, Emperor of Heaven Reverse resided at the Samsara City!

If Tumulus of Universe agreed to this plan, then everything could work out fine. The Pavilion of Delicacy could have Hades Society’s territory, which was close. The Life League was right to the east of the Great Buddhist Temple. Both the Pavilion of Delicacy and Great Buddhist Temple should be satisfied.

After rounds of discussion, Patriarch Eight invited over Ye Luo, who was still living on the Mountain of Mystic Armor. The former informed Ye Luo about their initial ideas. Ye Luo found it both surprising and delightful. He was surprised that Lu Family wanted Tumulus of Universe’s territory and delighted that they could obtain two pieces of vast territories.

Ye Luo could not make the decision on such an important matter. He teleported to the Tumulus of Universe to informed elders and leaders in the family of Lu Family’s proposal for them to decide.

The proposal took the Tumulus of Universe by surprise. Ye Luo’s father immediately gathered all the leaders of the Tumulus of Universe in a meeting to discuss.

The meeting lasted for an entire day and night. Many were in favor while others objected. The Tumulus of Universe was at the southeast and they had been here for hundreds of thousands of years. Many found it uncomfortable to give away their territories.

What was more!

When the Tumulus of Universe was relocated, what should their affiliated families do? Should they turn to the Lu Family? The big affiliates had smaller affiliates and so on and so forth. The Tumulus of Universe could not possibly take all of them away.

In the end, Ye Luo’s father gave the final verdict—they agreed to hand their territory over to the Lu Family and move to the territories of the Samsara Palace and the Yaksha Race.

His reasons were simple. It was because of Lu Li and Lu Renhuang!

From where the Lu Family stood, nobody could stop them unifying the world. Lu Li was a young man. It would not be a problem for him to dominate the Great Land for a few thousand years. On the other hand, if they displeased Lu Li, not only would the Tumulus of Universe be deprived of new territories, they might even be destroyed.

Furthermore, the Samsara Palace once controlled the most fertile place at the Great Land. For the time being, the Tumulus of Universe might experience some troubles by moving to where the Samsara Palace and the Yaksha Race were. However, after hundreds of years, the Tumulus of Universe would stand to gain.

After the decision was made, Ye Luo’s father brought other leaders with him and went to the City of Mystic Armor. They talked it over with Lu Zhengyang and made several confidential decisions.

What happened next came easy. Lu Zhengyang invited Family Patriarch of the Kong Family of Great Buddhist Temple and Jiang Wuwo over to discuss about territories.

Kong Family Patriarch and Jiang Wuwo were both delighted. Who would turn down the offer of free territories? The four families spend several days together to discuss. After all, matters were settled, they returned to their families to prepare!

The Samsara Palace was destroyed, and the other four forces had run away. That being said, their affiliated forces were still here. Many of such forces had snatched a large number of mines and lodes alike. A war would not be avoided for territorial disputes. Those forces would fight back when their resources and prosperous lands were going to be taken away from them.

Jiang Qiling came to the City of Mystic Armor with Jiang Wuwo, but she returned with him to prepare for the upcoming battle. She was the Jiang Family Patriarch so she must do her shares.

Lu Li sent four Earth Immortal Realm soul slaves to go with Jiang Qiling. That was more than enough to defeat the Hades Society.

Tumulus of Universe sallied forth toward the Yaksha Race and the Samsara Palace. Lu Li lent Tumulus of Universe two Earth Immortal Realm warrior. But… Lu Li did have one condition. The 30 regions located at the ancestral grounds of the Cyan Phoenix Race, Mammoth Race should be saved for them and the Titan Race.

Thirty regions were not too much, and Tumulus of Universe could not say no to Lu Li’s requirement. They agreed more than happily. The Great Buddhist Temple moved out as well. All the warriors were from the Kong Family. Lu Li dispatched two Earth Immortal Realm soul slaves to assist.

For the Lu Family, Lu Ling came back to command in person. Bai Qiuxue was in closed-door cultivation, but Bai Xiashuang came. She insisted on going with the army.

Lu Li did not refuse her. However, he did not go with them. For him, this fight was meaningless. The outcome had already been determined.

Lu Li sent the remaining Earth Immortal Realm soul slaves to go with the army. Lu Ling and Bai XIashuang both went. It was not a surprise that he would worry about them. Lu Zhengyang even sent Great Grandfather Five.

The four families joined hands. Flames of war raged across the Central Plains. The entire Great Land was shocked.

With the four families took actions almost at the same time, even the dumbest would know that they had finished planning and now they were sharing the spoils!

Palace of Heaven’s Roars, Palace of Immortal’s Inquiries and the Red Lunar were scared out of their wits. The four families did not show the intention to deal with them for now, but who could say for sure how the four families were thinking? What if the four families wanted those forces dead, so as to divide the entire Great Land among them?

Lu Li!

The three forces were convinced that he was the key. The four families must have been approved by Lu Li before they took actions. Whether the three forces could survive or not was entirely dependent on Lu Li.

Masters of the three forces brought lavish gifts to the City of Mystic Armor to beg for an audience with Lu Li at once. For one thing, they wanted to inquire about Lu Li’s intention. For another, they were here to play up to Lu Li.

It did not end with the three forces. Leaders of forces at the Frost Plains, Cyan Plains, and Wings Plains all came to Lu Li. All were fearing that he would attack and annex their lands…
