Emperor Qiankun

One night passed quietly. Li Qingyuan had been practicing diligently in the Gate of Time. Unknowingly, more than seven days had passed.

After this period of intensive practice, he successfully consolidated the eighth level of the Purple Mansion Realm that he had just broken through, making it more solid and stable.

The next morning, the dawn broke and the soft sunlight fell on the earth.

At the hour of Mao, Yang Shan, along with several newly promoted elders of the Yang family, hurried to the Li family to pay a visit.

Li Qingyuan was meditating in her room at the time and was awakened by a maid sent by Li Changtian.

He opened his eyes, a clear light flashed in them, then he stood up, straightened his clothes, and followed the maid to the main hall of the Li family.

......

At this time, the atmosphere in the main hall of the Li family was a little solemn.

Li Changtian was wearing a dark robe and sitting upright on the main seat at the top. His face was serious and he looked at everyone in the hall with deep eyes. Although he did not say anything, he exuded a sense of majesty.

After Li Qingyuan entered the hall, he first greeted Li Changtian, then walked to the first seat on the right and sat down calmly.

Beside him sat several highly respected elders of the Li family. Some of them had thoughtful expressions on their faces, while others had doubts in their eyes. They were whispering to each other, obviously trying to figure out why the Yang family had come this time.

Yang Shan and others sat down in order from the first seat on the left. He was dressed in a black shirt, with a kind face that showed a bit of shrewdness. The elders beside him also had different expressions, some with bright eyes, some with smiles, but none of them could hide the eagerness and expectation in their hearts.

At this time, Li Changtian took the lead in breaking the silence:

"Brother Shan, you personally brought the elders of the Yang family to my Li family today. I guess there must be something important going on?"

He looked at Yang Shan, waiting for his response.

......

Upon hearing this, Yang Shan sat up straighter, cleared his throat, and said solemnly:

"Since Brother Changtian asked this, I won't beat around the bush and will speak directly."

He paused slightly, his eyes slowly sweeping across the people in the hall, finally settling on Li Changtian's face, and then said:

"I'm here this time to represent the people of Black Mountain City."

"Black Mountain City is currently in turmoil and urgently needs a capable and trustworthy person to take charge. After consultation among the people, they unanimously agreed that the Li family is the best choice."

"Therefore, we earnestly hope that the Li family can take over the City Lord's Mansion, become the decision-makers of Black Mountain City, and lead Black Mountain City towards a more prosperous future!"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a heavy stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing a huge wave among the Li family members!

......

"Wow!"

For a moment, everyone in the Li family was in an uproar. Everyone's faces were full of astonishment, and they were whispering to each other.

Move into the City Lord’s Mansion?

For the Li family, this was something they had never dared to hope for, or even thought about.

After all, the position of city lord seems to be very glorious, but it is actually a hot potato.

If you are not careful, not only will your family be destroyed, but you may also cause innocent people in the city to suffer.

However, despite some concerns in their hearts, the elders of the Li family could not hide their excitement and excitement.

They exchanged glances with each other, thinking secretly in their hearts:

My Li family has endured many years of hardship, and now is it finally time for the opportunity to rise to prominence?

Thinking of this, several elders simultaneously turned their gazes to Li Changtian, who was sitting in the first seat, their eyes full of expectation and hope, as if they were waiting for the patriarch's decision.

......

Li Changtian was also on pins and needles at this moment, as if his heart was overturned with all kinds of emotions surging into his mind.

Letting the Li family take over the City Lord's Mansion was something he had never dared to think about in the past.

Firstly, although the Li family's strength has improved in recent years, compared with the other two major families in Black Mountain City, it is still slightly weaker and not enough to convince the public;

Secondly, disunity has always been a major hidden danger within the Li family. Family members have their own thoughts, and it is extremely difficult to work together to achieve great things.

However, with this turmoil being ended by Li Qingyuan's strong return, all of this seems to no longer be a problem.

Li Qingyuan not only saved the people of the city from danger, but also personally killed the former city lord Zhao Sheng. His reputation for bravery has long spread throughout the streets and alleys of Heishan City.

Li Changtian asked himself, if there is anyone in Heishan City who can sit firmly on the position of city lord, the answer in his mind can only be the Li family, Li Qingyuan!

Because in his opinion, all those other families and characters were not qualified!

Now, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is right in front of us. Should we seize it or give it up?

Li Changtian was a little confused for a moment.

......

"Brother Changtian, what are you hesitating about?"

At this time, Yang Shan spoke again to persuade:

"The Li family taking over the City Lord's Mansion is what everyone wants. Everyone is eagerly hoping that the Li family will step forward and lead everyone to live a prosperous and happy life."

Hearing this, Li Changtian couldn't help but feel moved.

He looked at Li Qingyuan and asked, "Yuan'er, what do you think about this?"

Li Qingyuan hopes that the Li family will prosper and get better and better.

Seeing his father looking at him, he said without hesitation:

"Father, I believe that since this is the wish of all the people, then my Li family, as part of Black Mountain City, should step forward and shoulder the heavy responsibility to carry Black Mountain City forward and live up to the expectations of the people of the city!"

......

Seeing Li Qingyuan say this, Li Changtian felt relieved and nodded immediately.

"In that case, my Li family will respectfully obey your order. It would be disrespectful to refuse."

Afterwards, Li Changtian quickly got into the state and began to arrange the many matters of taking over the City Lord's Mansion in an orderly manner.

One instruction after another was assigned to several elders of the Li family, and each instruction was clear and specific.

After receiving the order, several elders of the Li family showed joy on their faces and nodded in agreement. Then they stood up and left the main hall, going down to arrange various matters in a hurry.

At this time, Yang Shan, who was standing aside, bowed and said to Li Changtian with a smile:

"Brother Changtian, since the matter has been settled, we will not bother you any further. We will take our leave now. If you need us in the future, please let us know."

Li Changtian hurriedly returned the greeting, exchanged a few more pleasantries with Yang Shan, and then personally escorted them out of the Li family mansion.
