Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate Chapter 2209 1129: Territory (Part 2)

With the Yang Clan utterly destroyed, the Lin Family's might has surged tremendously.

During this pivotal moment, the Lin Family truly has no need to keep propping up the Myriad Cultivators Alliance.

Thus, when Lin Tianming stated his position, Liang Zhuoying wasn't taken aback. Instead, a wave of relief washed over him from this result.

To him, Lin Tianming's demeanor wasn't overly hostile.

Particularly on territorial matters, the Lin Family displayed scant greed.

Additionally, toward the Liang Family, Lin Tianming maintained a friendly posture, refraining from demanding any harsh alterations from them.

This very point had worried Liang Zhuoying the most, leaving him deeply uncertain.

Yet now, it appeared the Liang Family's fears were perhaps overstated.

Still, to show genuine intent, Liang Zhuoying, once the Yang Clan lands and Myriad Cultivators Alliance matters were settled, proactively declared the Liang Family's position.

Moreover, from Liang Zhuoying's perspective, the Liang Family had seized vast territories over time. After the Jinfeng Nation upheavals concluded, they claimed huge swathes from powers like the Yuanchen Sect and Tianqing Sect, nearly doubling their holdings from pre-turmoil days.

Nevertheless, years of losses had decimated Liang Family members, and their present power couldn't sustain such sprawling domains.

Consequently, following senior-level deliberations, the Liang Family chose to cede a chunk of land adjacent to the Lin Family, handing it over gratis.

This region housed more than a dozen bustling city markets and hundreds of spirit land ventures, comprising roughly 20% of the Liang Family's entire domain.

This prime zone yielded massive yearly revenues, a prize any Golden Elixir force would crave fiercely.

By offering up this enormous tract voluntarily, the Liang Family openly recognized Jinfeng Nation's new reality and their own precarious spot.

Today, Jinfeng Nation boasts just two dominant powers, the Lin Family—a Nascent Soul powerhouse—effectively dominating the entire nation.

Any hint of defiance from the Liang Family would surely spark Lin Family distrust.

To secure breathing room and survival time, the Liang Family needed to align wisely.

Their sacrifice of gains proved a shrewd strategy.

As for ripple effects, it was clear across Jinfeng Nation: the Liang Family's move signaled the Lin Family harbored a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Otherwise, a millennium-old Golden Core lineage like the Liang Family wouldn't bow so low to the Lin Family.

Even beyond Jinfeng Nation, foreign cultivators could deduce Lin Family shifts from Jinfeng's changes.

Thus, the Lin Family's actions screamed that someone had ascended to Nascent Soul.

Lin Tianming, though, dismissed such concerns.

In his eyes, overwhelming personal power rendered these trivial.

Besides, hiding Lin Family secrets was impossible anyway.

After all, the Blood Red Alliance's crushing loss—all Jinfeng Nation sect disciples annihilated, even Early Nascent Soul Song Chufeng slain—demanded a Lin Family Nascent Soul amid the chaos, or no one would buy it.

With exposure inevitable, further cover-ups were futile.

Hence, the Lin Family shouldn't suppress truths, skip rightful gains, but boldly seize their due.

On Blood Red Alliance vengeance, the Lin Family now fretted little.

After all, Lin Tianming's Nascent Soul breakthrough matched typical Mid Nascent Soul prowess.

Plus, Lin Family Golden Core ranks had exploded: nearly fifty now, several at Golden Core Great Perfection.

Many more lingered at Late Golden Core too.

Backed by this might, the Lin Family scoffed at any Qingzhou Nascent Soul force.

Blood Red Alliance and Yulan Sect posed no real threat either.

Grasping this, Lin Tianming welcomed the Liang Family's overture without hesitation.

No sense in feigning reluctance over their offered lands.

Note that this 20% Liang slice dwarfed a third of the Lin Family's current holdings.

Controlling it would let Lin Family sway over half of Jinfeng Nation's cultivation realm.

Moreover, it featured numerous markets, including mid-tier Haoyue City—slightly smaller than Nanfeng City yet among Jinfeng's top metropolises.

These lands and spirit industries would bolster Lin Family foundations immensely.

Thus, confronting such riches, Lin Tianming—publicly and privately—refused to let it slip.

Lin Shilu shared this eagerness fully.

With top Lin leaders aligned, rejecting Liang goodwill made no sense.

So, to Liang Zhuoying's words, Lin Tianming replied uprightly, "Since the friends of the Liang Family find it challenging, the Lin Family is willing to share some of your burdens."

Couched politely, he delivered it shamelessly.

Liang Zhuoying and kin knew it was mere courtesy; taking it literally might flip Lin Family's tune instantly.

True rupture with Lin Family would doom Liang utterly.

Though Blood Red Alliance loomed fearsome and tyrannical, it remained an outsider to Jinfeng Nation.

Plus, Blood Red Alliance's foes abounded, including mighty Nascent Soul groups.

Their every scheme met fierce pushback, spawning endless tangles.

The Lin Family, however, loomed immediate and equally terrifying.

Such a near threat chilled deeper than distant Blood Red might.

The Liang Family, well-acquainted with Lin ways, and informed Liang Zhuoying especially, grasped their dreadfulness.

Thus, post-Lin Tianming's declaration, Liang Zhuoying's relief deepened.

To him, Lin acceptance signaled no Liang ambitions—for now at least.

In the near term, Lin Family eyed them harmlessly.

Instead, Liang could huddle under Lin shelter; any Blood Red strike would draw Lin restraint.

This matched a key Liang visit goal.

Lin Tianming's clarity delivered precisely that.

Thus, Liang aims stood fulfilled.

Realizing this, Liang Zhuoying and sister brimmed with satisfaction, sighing in relief.

Yang Clan and Myriad Cultivators Alliance resolved, Liang goodwill embraced, the hall's vibe soared to heights.

Lin Tianming and Lin Shilu's elation fueled the festive peak.

Next, Lin Family seniors chatted idly with Liang Zhuoying on territory handover.

He suggested heading home first to send Liang reps linking with Lin side.

Lin Xingyuan would helm Lin efforts fully.

Matters sealed, Liang Zhuoying, per Lin Tianming's setup, lingered days at Lin Clan Grounds to recuperate.

Then he departed for Liang home, reported back, and kicked off the land shift.
