Longshan Family Great Hall.

Lin Yuan was listening to Longshan Ling's report.

All the trivial matters of the Longshan Family had been delegated to several trusted subordinates for handling, with Longshan Ling being one of them.

Lin Yuan only needed to listen to reports periodically to grasp the overall direction.

In this extraordinary world, individual might towered above power structures, and as long as Lin Yuan maintained his absolute strength, he needn't worry that such delegation of power would result in him being 'ousted'.

On the contrary, the members of the Longshan Family were well aware that the Longshan Family's present glory was all thanks to Lin Yuan.

Without Lin Yuan, the Longshan Family would just be a minor Viscount-level power tucked away in a corner, nowhere near the Earl Longshan who now dominated the southeastern region of the empire.

"Patriarch, over the years, the number of strong warriors stationed in Longshan City has been increasing, with Fourth Level Knights, Fifth Level Great Knights, and even Sixth Level Legendary Knights appearing within the city…"

As Longshan Ling reported, a storm of emotions surged within her.

A century ago, not a single Fifth Level Great Knight would emerge in a span of hundreds of years around Longshan Ling and its vast surrounding regions, yet now they were appearing with increasing frequency, including those above the Fifth Level, Sixth Level Legendary Knights?

In the past, such figures would have been considered supremely eminent individuals beyond Longshan Ling's wildest dreams, even influential figures within the Slan Empire.

"I understand," said Lin Yuan, nodding calmly.

In fact, with the continuous spread of the Martial Tao Cultivation Skill, such phenomena would become even more pronounced. Those powerful beings who were rarely seen would now want to understand the origins of the Martial Tao Cultivation Skill.

And if there were any cultivation methods superior to the Martial Tao Cultivation Skill.

People are greedy; some can suppress their desires, while others cannot.

"Then we..." Longshan Ling hesitated slightly.

"Don't bother about them," Lin Yuan shook his head.

With the deterrence of the Slan Empire, no strong warriors below the Seventh Level Demigod would dare cause trouble.

By bestowing upon the Longshan Family the title of Earl in a public ceremony, the Slan Empire was effectively supporting the Longshan Family.

As for Seventh Level Demigods? If they dared to harbor other intentions, Lin Yuan could crush them with a mere thought.

"Yes," Longshan Ling said respectfully.

Towards the Earl Longshan who was about her age, Longshan Ling felt an almost dependent level of trust.

It seemed as if no matter what, even if the sky were to fall, Lin Yuan would be able to hold it up.

...

Outside Longshan City.

Several breaths hidden in the shadows were communicating with one another.

"What are you old geezers doing here?"

"What you're doing here, I'm doing here."

"Hahaha, in the end, it's all for the secrets behind Earl Longshan."

...

The owners of these breaths were all Demigod-level beings. In fact, by the time one reaches the Seventh Level, Demigods have largely lost interest in most worldly affairs.

Their only obsession was with achieving godhood and continuing to grow stronger.

The emergence of the Martial Tao Cultivation Skill had ignited a certain hope in these Demigods. The intricacy of this cultivation method was such that even Demigods could not possibly have invented it.

Thus, in secret, many Demigods speculated whether Earl Longshan had by chance obtained divine favor?

The so-called divine favor refers to opportunities of the level of gods. To most beings, gods are immortal, but long-lived Demigods know better.

Gods can die.

For example, by initiating a war of the gods? The stars formed by fallen gods would fall from the heavens.

If one is fortunate enough to enter a shattered star, there's a possibility to find the treasures of that deceased god.

This was also why so many Demigods were congregating here.

Opportunities at the level of gods might not allow them to become gods, but they can reveal more secrets. And if by chance they acquire a genuine divine artifact,

they would indeed become invincible under True Gods.

A divine artifact could shield a Demigod, acquiring more belief and concerned with whether they could raise their Divine Kingdom to enter the Ocean of Light or the Abyss of Darkness.

"If Earl Longshan truly obtained divine favor, we can share it equally," said a figure in a gray robe.

He, too, was a renowned Demigod.

"Naturally."

"We are all fellow practitioners; there is no need for violent conflict."

"Indeed, we agree to share Earl Longshan's godly secret equally when the time comes," the other Demigods said, but they harbored other plans in their hearts.

If it's merely secrets, they could be shared equally, but what if it's a divine artifact? With only one divine artifact, how could it be divided?

However, the Demigods present were all old foxes; even if a real fight were to break out, it would only happen upon seeing tangible benefits. Currently, even though it might just be courtesy, none would turn against each other.

"Let's sneak in quietly and after we capture Earl Longshan, directly perform a Soul Search," said a gaunt old man lurking in the shadows.

"Agreed."

"No problem."

The Demigods nodded.

In their eyes, Earl Longshan was already a dead man. Apart from those True Gods high above in the Ocean of Light and the Abyss of Darkness, who on earth could withstand the combined assassination of several Demigods?

You must know, being able to appear outside Longshan City so quickly, these were no ordinary Demigods but rather powerhouses among Demigods.

That Longshan Yuan, targeted simultaneously by these formidable Demigods, was undoubtedly doomed to die.

"Let's go."

"Move in."

The eight Demigods immediately began infiltrating Longshan City with great caution.

Although they were strong, they were not foolish. They knew that many Demigods were watching Earl Longshan, holding back only because of mutual wariness.

If these Demigods were to take action, they would aim to cause as little commotion as possible, lest they attract the attention of other Demigods.

Soon.
