My Cultivation Prowess Peaks after I Buried the Great Emperor's Corpse

Chapter 222  Aristocratic Families Surrender, Great Dragon of the North Sea!

"Young Master, there's a group of people outside. They claim to be Pei Shan from the Langya family and Zhao Xuanming from the Panlong family. They said that they wanted to see you."

Suddenly, Han Qingshan came over and reported respectfully.

Hmm? The Langya Family and the Panlong Family were here?

Lin Wudao was surprised to hear this.

"Let them in."

"Yes, sir," Han Qingshan bowed.

A moment later, he led an old man in black and a middle-aged man in green to the hall.

"Zhao Xuanming of the Panlong family greets the City Lord."

"Langya Family's Pei Shan greets the City Lord."

The two of them lowered their stance.

After all, the person in front of them was peerlessly ruthless and had destroyed the Shangqing Sword Palace. They did not dare to act rashly.

"Please take a seat."

Lin Wudao glanced at them and pointed at the seats at the side.

However, whether it was Zhao Xuanming or Pei Shan, they did not sit down. Instead, they stood uneasily on the spot.

Seeing this, Lin Wudao didn't insist and just smiled faintly.

"May I know why the two of you have come to City of Sin?" He asked as he sipped his tea.

Hearing this, Pei Shan was silent for a while before taking the lead to step forward.

"City Lord, to be honest, I'm representing the entire Langya Family to express our submission. I hope the City Lord will accept us."

He bowed.

As he spoke, Pei Shan took out a spirit ring with a flip of his hand and respectfully presented it to Lin Wudao.

The spirit ring was filled with all kinds of rare treasures, as well as a large number of resources that the Langya Family had accumulated for thousands of years.

"The Langya Family is one of the five great aristocratic families of Jiuzhou. You're actually willing to submit to the City of Sin?"

Lin Wudao said with a smile as he held the spirit ring in his hand.

"Everyone in the Green Heaven Region has heard about the City Lord's great deeds. Although the Langya Family has been around for thousands of years, we can't resist the wheel and torrent of history. Instead of being stubborn, we might as well choose a good master. This is the common wish of all the members of the Langya Family. We hope that we can become citizens of the City of Sin and walk the path of glory under your leadership. We hope that one day, we will be able to achieve great glory. City Lord, please grant our wish."

Thump!

Pei Shan knelt and kowtowed heavily. His expression was extremely respectful and devout.

Lin Wudao smiled when he saw this.

The Langya Family was very proficient in the ways of the world.

Since they now took the initiative to submit, it saved him the trouble of sending people to attack.

"The Langya Family is so thoughtful. Since you sincerely want to become a citizen of the City of Sin, I will grant your wish. From today onwards, the Langya Family is a part of the City of Sin. From now on, you will achieve glory together with the City of Sin," Lin Wudao said calmly.

After saying that, he sacrificed all the treasures and resources in the spirit ring.

In the end, he obtained 20 million Fate Energy value.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, host. With your powerful strength and charisma, you have subdued the Langya Family and made them voluntarily become a citizen of the City of Sin. Fate Energy value +10000000.]

...

A cold notification sounded in his mind.

Lin Wudao's face lit up with a smile when he saw that he had earned 30 million in one go.

Then, he then turned his gaze to Zhao Xuanming.

"What is the purpose of the Panlong family?"

"City Lord, the Panlong Family also admires your supreme reputation and hopes to become a citizen of the City of Sin. From now on, the Panlong family is willing to take the City of Sin as its master."

Zhao Xuanming kowtowed respectfully.

Soon after, he also handed over a spirit ring with both hands. There were also some treasures inside.

It was just that the Panlong family's assets had already been robbed clean by Qin Daofu and Zhao Zichen. As such, the treasures and resources that they could take out as gifts naturally could not compare to the Langya family's. In fact, it was not even one-tenth of the latter's.

Regarding this, Lin Wudao, who knew the situation, didn't mind. What he wanted was the attitude of the Panlong family anyway.

"Very well, since the Panlong family also has this intention, I will naturally fulfill it. From today onwards, you are also a part of the City of Sin."

"Thank you, City Lord!"

Thump!

After receiving Lin Wudao's shelter, Zhao Xuanming immediately bowed excitedly. To be able to obtain the protection of the City of Sin was undoubtedly a great blessing for the Panlong family. With this, they would not end up annihilated.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, host. The Panlong family has voluntarily joined the City of Sin and become your citizen. Fate Energy value +10000000.]

Another notification sounded.

[Name: Lin Wudao]

[Fate Energy value: 44,450,000]

...

In just a short moment, he had earned 40 million Fate Energy value. This was naturally a joyful thing for Lin Wudao.

With this, his gaze toward Pei Shan and Zhao Xuanming also became much gentler.

Whoosh!

Then, he took out two high-grade Imperial Dao ancient spiritual weapons and gave them to the two.

In response, Pei Shan and Zhao Xuanming were naturally extremely grateful. The respect they had for Lin Wudao in their hearts also became stronger.

"Alright, you guys can go back first. Just like the Heishui Family, the City of Sin will not interfere with the management of your families or any specific matters."

"Yes, sir."

...

Pei Shan and Zhao Xuanming were exceptionally happy.

At this moment, the huge rock in their hearts was finally lifted.

Although they would lose their freedom in the future by submitting to the City of Sin, it would allow their families to continue. This was undoubtedly a blessing for them.

After that, Pei Shan and Zhao Xuanming introduced the current situation of the two families to Lin Wudao. At the same time, Lin Wudao gave them some advice before they left the City of Sin.

Whoosh!

As soon as the two of them left, Xiao Jinglun and the other two from the Penglai Family came to the City Lord's Mansion again.

"City Lord, the Taicang Ancestral Land is about to open."

"Yes. I've already settled my matters. Next, let's make a trip to the Panlong Ancient City first before heading to the Myriad Great Mountain Range."

With this, Xiao Jinglun immediately bought everyone on the ancient ship of the Penglai Family and left the City of Sin.

Half a day later, the group arrived at Panlong Ancient City.

In the Myth Inn, Lin Wudao called Yin Siming and Li Zangtian over, then took out the map of Demon Emperor Lietian's resting place.

"Yin Siming, do you know what kind of demon this is?" He pointed at the ancient demon on the map and asked.

Hearing this, Yin Siming glanced at the map and nodded.

"City Lord, this is a xenogenic demon that originated from the immemorial era, the hornless dragon."

Hornless dragon?

Hearing this name, Lin Wudao was a little confused.

"City Lord, the immemorial xenogenic creature, the hornless dragon, likes to live in the deep sea. They can lie dormant under the sea for thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years. Great demons like this are extremely rare. Not only do they have huge bodies, but their bodies often form a space of their own, containing many mysterious and wondrous things. Therefore, in ancient times, some powerhouses liked to build their residences, dojos, and graves inside the hornless dragon's body. City Lord, according to this map, there seems to be a hornless dragon in the North Sea?" Yin Siming asked in surprise.

"Yes. This map shows the location of Demon Emperor Lietian's resting place ten thousand years ago. According to what you have just said, the former Demon Emperor Lietian must have hidden his grave inside the body of the North Sea's hornless dragon."

Lin Wudao frowned.

He didn't expect Demon Emperor Lietian to be so cunning as to hide his resting place in the body of the North Sea's hornless dragon.

"Is there a way to lure the hornless dragon out?"

"Yes. City Lord, the Nine Netherworlds Secret Realm is about to open soon. At that time, the North Sea will have a huge tide that occurs once every thousand years. Spiritual energy will pour into the world and bless all living beings. At that time, the hornless dragon of the North Sea might appear," Yin Siming replied.

"What if it doesn't?"

"Oh, if it doesn't, then we can only use natural treasures as bait to attract it. It would be best if it was something related to the dragon race because the bloodline of the dragon race flows in the hornless dragon's body. According to ancient legends, it is the son of the true dragon."

Dragon race?

Hearing this, Lin Wudao nodded thoughtfully.

"Okay, we'll talk about it when the time comes. Next, the Taicang Ancestral Land of the Myriad Great Mountain Range is about to open. Let's make a trip there first and find the Seal of All Living Beings to construct the Golden Pool of Fate."

"Yes, sir!" Yin Siming bowed in response.

Soon after, after resting for a while, they met up with Xiao Jinglun and the others and steered the
