292: Chapter 292 The New Domain Lord?

Hmm?

It wasn't until Jiang Chen finished speaking.

Lin Batian and the others didn't react for a long while.

What?

What did Jiang Chen mean just now?

Not giving the money?

And even going to teach that Lingcang Domain Lord a lesson?

Is this something a human would say?

Because you killed someone's Disciple and fear their revenge, you're just going to... wipe them out first?

Though it sounded perfectly logical...

Applying it to the Lingcang Domain Lord made it seem quite unreasonable.

The Lingcang Domain Lord was on a completely different level; he was definitely not someone a force like the Zhao Family could compare to.

"Ahem, Jiang Chen... things might not necessarily come to blows with the Lingcang Domain Lord. How about finding a mediator to talk it over?"

"Everything is negotiable."

After Lin Batian snapped out of it, he immediately tried to persuade Jiang Chen. If this matter escalated, it would be serious.

However, before Jiang Chen could speak,

Lin Youer, who was standing to the side, stepped forward and said,

"Father, don't harbor such delusions. Have these years not shown you how petty and greedy the Lingcang Domain Lord is, and how much he values Face? Now that his Disciple has died here, he will certainly not let the matter rest."

Lin Youer said while shaking her head slightly, a hint of determination and madness in her eyes.

"I actually think Jiang Chen is fully qualified to be the new Domain Lord of Lingcang Domain!"

A new Domain Lord!?

They had thought Jiang Chen's words were already quite outrageous, but they hadn't expected Lin Youer's words to be even more so.

"New Domain Lord!?"

"This... it's not that I don't believe in Great Hero Jiang's strength, but the position of Domain Lord involves very deep connections. It's not something that can be achieved through strength alone. In this Cangxuan Realm, one ultimately needs the approval of the Cangxuan Sacred Land."

Lin Batian said, feeling as though he was about to break into a cold sweat.

He knew the world of young people was different, even a bit crazy, but Lin Batian never imagined it could be this insane.

To directly aim for becoming the new Domain Lord.

This was a bit too much.

Even the elders of the Lin Family were thoroughly frightened.

"The Cangxuan Sacred Land doesn't care who the Domain Lord is. They only care about the stability and prosperity of the Lingcang Domain, and that the annual tribute is delivered on time."

"As long as Jiang Chen can defeat the Lingcang Domain Lord and become the new Domain Lord, it won't be a problem at all. For the follow-up, our Lin Family will utilize all our connections to win over enough forces for support. Even the Cangxuan Sacred Land won't have much to say about it."

Lin Youer's eyes shimmered with light.

At this moment, she seemed quite excited.

Never mind Lin Batian and the others; even Jiang Chen was very surprised. He hadn't expected Lin Youer to have such an idea.

Making him the Domain Lord?

The idea wasn't bad, but unfortunately, he currently had no such intention.

"Ahem, stop right there. I have no interest in being a Domain Lord or anything like that. I'd rather spend that time killing more demons to increase my strength."

Jiang Chen said with a wave of his hand.

No interest in the position of Domain Lord?

Killing more demons to increase strength?

Although what Jiang Chen meant was accumulating enemy killing value,

to Lin Batian and the others, it sounded like he wanted to go deep into demon territory and increase his combat power through fighting demons.

They instantly felt a deep respect for Jiang Chen.

This is the kind of attitude our generation of Cultivators should have.

No wonder Jiang Chen has such a high cultivation Realm.

Compared to him, their eyes were only fixed on interests, resources, and status.

They felt utterly ashamed.

Even Lin Youer looked at Jiang Chen with a peculiar light in her eyes.

To be able to say such things...

Not caring for the position of Domain Lord showed that Jiang Chen had even broader goals in his heart.

Such a man was truly rare in this world.

"In that case, there's even less of a rush."

"As long as you are here, the Lingcang Domain Lord will come to you. Why not rest here and wait for the target to come to us?"

"Furthermore, since you destroyed the Zhao Family today, some forces might come to invite you."

"If those Hidden Families are willing to step forward, things will be much simpler."

"After all, if you fight a decisive battle with the Lingcang Domain Lord now and can't kill them all at once, it might affect the Great Lan Dynasty."

Lin Youer reminded him.

Originally, she thought of striking while the iron was hot. Once he arrived with overwhelming power, they could immediately start a series of follow-up procedures. Once it began, even the experts attached to the Lingcang Domain Lord would find it hard to seek revenge later. After all, those people wouldn't be blindly loyal; they would eventually have to assess the situation.

When they realized the Lingcang Domain Lord's influence was gone, they naturally wouldn't clash with the new Domain Lord.

But since Jiang Chen didn't have that intention for now, there was no need to rush.

"You have a point."

Jiang Chen looked at Lin Youer.

She really was a clever girl.

Although Rouer was also smart, her insight into such matters was naturally inferior to someone like Lin Youer.

In terms of experience and exposure, she was far behind Lin Youer.

Of course, that might not be the case in the future.

"In my opinion, it's better to just wait for them to come to us."

"Based on the Lingcang Domain Lord's past temperament, he will definitely send a few of his Disciples here first to capture you."

"We just need to be prepared here to cut off his claws."

Seeing that Jiang Chen agreed, Lin Youer continued.

If Jiang Chen hadn't agreed with her idea and insisted on attacking, that would have been fine too, though the risk would naturally be higher.

After all, no one knew what would happen if the Lingcang Domain Lord died and the group became leaderless.

"Fine, then I'll wait a few days for him."

"It's good that I'm here to deter the petty people around."

Jiang Chen said.

What they were standing on now was a business worth tens of millions of Spirit Stones annually.

There would always be people thinking of taking risks or even wanting a piece of the pie.

Naturally, there would be those who valued money over their lives.

Furthermore, Jiang Chen was also thinking about continuing to open the martial arts scrolls.

When he said he would open the scrolls later, he didn't mean leaving them all until the very end.

Rather, it was best to save one or two for a critical moment or for when his cultivation was stronger.

To truly get something good, once was enough.

This time, he still had a five-fold scroll in his hand.

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Lin Batian's eyes lit up.

He hadn't expected Jiang Chen to be willing to stay and help.

Now that the Zhao Family was destroyed and the mine had changed hands, many jackals and wolves would surely want to pounce.

The Lin Family was confident they could withstand the pressure, but it would inevitably cost them some price and even require some bribing.

But with Jiang Chen sitting here, things would be much simpler.

"That's wonderful."

"But rest assured, I will immediately send people to closely monitor the news from the Lingcang Domain Lord's side."
