The council pavilion in Dragon City was magnificent and grand.
The main hall could accommodate thousands of people simultaneously.
Late at night, luxury cars arrived at the pavilion's parking lot.
Everyone who attended was a behind-the-scenes leader of Dragon City's major and minor factions.
At this moment, they were all filled with confusion.
What did the City Lord intend? To convene such a grand meeting in the dead of night.
"Elder Jiang, I didn't expect you to be here," the head of the Wu Clan respectfully said to an old man in black outside the pavilion.
This Elder Jiang was the ancestor of the Jiang family in Dragon City, a peak Grandmaster realm expert.
As one of Dragon City's four great families, the Jiang family was not only prosperous in martial arts but also possessed immense wealth.
"It was the Alliance Leader's order, how could I refuse?" Elder Jiang said.
"We don't know what the Alliance Leader wants? To summon us so suddenly," another person asked.
"Something big must have happened, perhaps related to the war with the Mo family."
"With the seven ancient clans joining forces, the Mo family is already at its last leg. Why would they need us?"
"I really can't figure it out, what is it all for?"
The crowd chatted in groups of three or five as they walked into the council hall.
Although no one had assigned seats, everyone was tacitly understanding.
The strongest factions naturally sat in the front row, with others following suit.
An hour and a half later, all of Dragon City's factions had arrived.
It was at this moment that a large number of imperial guards swarmed in.
This scene startled everyone.
They could feel that something had happened!
"Everyone, please remain calm!"
Just then, the City Lord walked out.
"City Lord, what is the meaning of this?" Elder Jiang asked with a deep frown.
"You will know soon," the City Lord said with a smile from the stage.
The imperial guards surrounded everyone, their killing intent making everyone feel heavy.
Faced with technological weapons, except for those in the late or peak Grandmaster realm, everyone else was no different from ordinary people.
At this moment, everyone was restless, knowing that this was a "Hongmen Banquet."
Just then, Qin Hanchu walked out with Elder Lu Song and others.
"Who are these people?"
"Is that Qin Hanchu? The Dragon Alliance has issued a warrant for his arrest, why is he here?"
"Why is the City Lord with him? Is the City Lord going to rebel?"
"With the Alliance Leader in charge of Dragon City, how could the City Lord possibly rebel?"
Qin Hanchu's appearance caused a stir among the crowd below.
Tapping the microphone, Qin Hanchu said with a smile, "Everyone, please be quiet."
Hearing Qin Hanchu speak, the hall immediately fell silent.
"Let me introduce myself first, my name is Qin Hanchu, from the Qin Clan."
"All of you present should be quite familiar with the Qin Clan and with me."
"I am here to announce a piece of news: starting today, the master of Dragon City will be our Qin Clan, no longer the Alliance Leader of the Dragon Alliance."
"Who agrees, and who opposes?"
Qin Hanchu said with a smile.
"The Qin Clan is too audacious, daring to seize Dragon City while the Alliance Leader is away!"
"When the Alliance Leader returns, your entire Qin Clan will die!"
As soon as Qin Hanchu finished speaking, Elder Jiang stood up furiously.
As a peak Grandmaster, he was not afraid of the armed guards surrounding him.
In his eyes, as long as he wanted to leave, no one could stop him.
Elder Jiang assumed that the Alliance Leader had temporarily left Dragon City, which gave the Qin Clan an opportunity.
At this moment, his actions were to show loyalty to the Alliance Leader.
Once the Alliance Leader recaptured Dragon City, his Jiang family's status would be even more stable.
"Indeed, my Zhong family also opposes!" The elder from the Zhong family was also a peak Grandmaster.
At this time, only those in the late or peak Grandmaster realm dared to openly oppose the Qin Clan.
Qin Hanchu asked with a smile, "Who else opposes?"
"I!"
"I!"
...
A continuous seven people stood up proudly.
Including the previous Elder Jiang and Elder Zhong, a total of nine people stood up in opposition.
These nine people represented nine powerful factions.
"Is there anyone else?" Qin Hanchu asked with a smile.
The crowd fell silent, sensing something was amiss.
Seeing that no one else spoke, Qin Hanchu looked at the nine who had stood up and said, "Take a look at this, and then I will give you another chance to choose. Remember, this is your last chance. If you maintain your current stance, I will greatly admire you."
At Qin Hanchu's gesture, Qin Clan members carried an item forward.
The item was covered with a red cloth, so its contents were not visible.
Qin Hanchu grabbed the red cloth and pulled it off.
As the red cloth fell, the Alliance Leader's head appeared before everyone.
Bang bang!
The nine people who had been standing were so frightened that they collapsed onto their chairs.
The Alliance Leader had been killed!
"In the past, Dragon City only had one Martial King realm expert!"
"Now, the Qin Clan has two Martial King realm experts!"
"Who will become the new master of the Dragon Gate, I think you know very well."
"Now tell me, do you still oppose?"
Qin Hanchu stared at Elder Jiang and the others and asked in a cold voice.
Two Martial King realm experts!
No wonder the Alliance Leader was beheaded!
Who would have thought the Qin Clan had become so powerful!
After the shock, Elder Jiang rushed forward and knelt on the ground with a bang, shouting, "My Jiang family is willing to surrender and follow the Qin Clan's lead!"
Seeing Elder Jiang's reaction, Elder Zhong and the other eight people also frantically left their seats, kneeling on the ground and trembling as they shouted.
Before the Martial Kings, their strength was insignificant.
Moreover, the Qin Clan now had two Martial King realm experts!
The crowd who had not yet expressed their stance now secretly rejoiced.
Even if the Qin Clan didn't kill Elder Jiang, the Jiang family's future days would not be easy.
"The Qin Clan wants to form a Shura Army, do you have anything to say?"
Qin Hanchu asked Elder Jiang with a smile.
"All my Jiang family's martial artists above the seventh rank are yours to choose from!"
"In addition, the Jiang family is willing to contribute five billion for the Shura Army's supplies."
Elder Jiang understood what Qin Hanchu wanted and immediately stated his position!
"The Zhong family is the same!"
Seeing Elder Jiang's declaration, the other eight people kneeling on the ground also quickly expressed their allegiance.
This was exactly the effect Qin Hanchu wanted. He looked at the others and said sternly, "All martial artists above the eighth rank from all factions are to report to the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow! Those with outstanding military achievements can have the opportunity for realm advancement! Even Grandmasters can exchange for this opportunity!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present showed astonishment.
As the leaders of the major factions, they understood very well why the Qin Clan had been destroyed.
The sudden appearance of two Martial King realm experts in the Qin Clan must be related to the rumored Primordial Medical Scripture.
It was rumored that the Primordial Medical Scripture could help martial artists improve their realm.
Qin Hanchu's words confirmed this rumor.
Even without this reward, people dared not disobey the Qin Clan's orders.
Since there was a chance to obtain the qualification for advancement, why not strive for it?
"Yes, we will fully support the Qin Clan," Elder Jiang stated first!
"We are willing to go through fire and water with the Qin Clan!" Elder Zhong quickly pledged his loyalty.
These people's words were just for show!
As long as they possessed overwhelming strength, these people would obediently submit.
