A swarm of heavy artillery bombarded the cultivators

In a corner of the Lei Ze Domain, the sky was full of colorful clouds, and the envoy of the Immortal Weapon Sect descended.

At this time, the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect and the Blood Lake Corpse Mountain Refining Void Sect did not go to pay a visit, but only respectfully sent disciples to greet them and accompany them.

A team led by many Divine Transformation cultivators also went to the Mud Swamp Demon City.

This is because the envoy of the Immortal Weapon Sect had just crossed the boundary wall and was seriously injured. Any Refining Void cultivator approaching would be directly regarded as malicious and rebellious.

If the two major True Sects did not want to launch a rebellion now, they would not make a move that would cause misunderstanding.

"I don't know how strong the envoy of the Immortal Weapon Sect is..."

Jiang Ding looked at the distant sky full of colorful clouds and said to himself.

According to common sense, this kind of cultivator who does miscellaneous work must not be the top Refining Void cultivator of the Immortal Weapon Sect, nor will he be a Refining Void Tianjiao. This kind of important combat power will definitely not appear in such routine administrative affairs, even if there is a lot of money in it.

This problem was carefully thought about by the lawless Mud Swamp True Venerable, who was born as a casual cultivator.

His inference is that the strength of the Immortal Artifact Sect's envoy must be very strong, and he must have some super-standard trump cards as a deterrent, otherwise it would be impossible for many True Sects to be respectful and pay more than 80% of the tribute every thousand years.

Cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents.

Not to mention that the wealth of the immortal cultivation world is directly related to strength, life span, dreams, the Great Dao, and everything else. Not every immortal cultivator has reason, can be calm at all times, and can weigh the pros and cons.

This heavy tax cannot be implemented just by reputation.

"I hope he can do business honestly, otherwise I will beat him up."

Jiang Ding thought quietly.

Killing, for the time being, cannot be done, which will break with the giant Immortal Artifact Sect and trigger more intense conflicts.

There are always many things that are helpless in life.

The injuries of the Immortal Artifact Sect's envoy who passed through the realm can be healed within about 30 years. At that time, he will start to really move, meet with the various Lianxu True Lords, and once again declare the majesty of the Immortal Artifact Sect.

…

In the palace of the Immortal Sect in the boundary wall of the Leiyan Domain.

An old man with a stern look sat cross-legged.

The middle-aged cultivator beside him was the opposite of him, with a smiling face and a very friendly manner, which made people feel good when they saw him.

These two people were naturally the Immortal Artifact Sect's worshiper Caishan Zhenzun and the Tiangong Building's owner Duofu Zhenzun.

One of them was responsible for taxation and directly collected the tributes from the lower domains, and the other was responsible for re-dumping the lower domains through business channels, and implementing the Immortal Artifact Sect's policy of strengthening the trunk and weakening the branches in a more tactful and gentle way.

Of course, it is reasonable to have some conveniences that meet their needs. The high-level leaders of the Immortal Sect also know that the elders below are working hard, and as long as they are not too excessive, they will not care.

In front of the two, a faceless white-armored mechanical puppet knelt on one knee and was reporting. It was the famous "Wumian Puppet" of the Immortal Artifact Sect.

Legend has it that it is one of the top masterpieces among the puppets of the Immortal Artifact Sect, specializing in lurking and spying. It can disguise itself as rocks, plants, monks, disciples and elders of various sects, and even the children, wives and children of the ancestors of the sect, so that even the True Master Lianxu cannot detect it, which is extremely terrifying.

In many realms, there are very few things that the Wumian puppet of the Immortal Artifact Sect does not know.

The Immortal Sect seems to let the lower realms go freely and unrestrained, but only collects taxes every thousand years, or recruits Taoist soldiers to fight in distant places. Apart from that, there is nothing else, which is very relaxed.

But this is just an illusion, and there are also various strict monitoring methods.

"...Blood Lake Corpse Mountain has a tendency to unify the Thunder Flame Region, and the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect cannot resist it.

...It is recommended that the sect intervene...

...When necessary, recruit Taoist soldiers from nearby realms, and the sect will send inner disciples to command, destroy the Blood Lake Corpse Mountain, or order the Blood Lake Patriarch to commit suicide, and purge the cultivators of the contemporary Patriarch to serve as a warning to others..."

"...The Thunder Flame Region has enjoyed good weather and abundant natural treasures over the past thousand years, and tax revenue is expected to increase by 15% over the previous thousand years..."

"...The True Lord of the Swamp Demon City seems to be searching for something recently, purchasing a large number of various low- and medium-level skills and secret techniques, natural treasures, and it is impossible to determine his purpose..."

The Wumian Puppet reported to the Immortal Weapon Sect's offering envoy.

Over the past thousand years, the various changes that have occurred in the Thunder Flame Region, from products to political situations, and even whether certain natural treasures have been reduced, are extremely detailed, and may even be clearer than the two True Sects themselves.

After the report, the Wumian Puppet disappeared silently.

This is something between life and mechanical puppets, shaped like the land gods in mythology. If they are not summoned, they will not appear on their own initiative. They are one of the important foundations of the Immortal Artifact Sect.

"Wulian Lingzun!"

"This Xuehu really doesn't know how to show respect!"

The cold and stern old man Caishan Zhenzun had murderous intent in his voice: "As early as a thousand years ago, I had told him that for the sake of the face of the Blood Puppet Elder who founded the sect 100,000 years ago, I can recognize the territories of the Jiuxiao Shenlei Zhenzong that were invaded at that time."

"But not again and again!"

"It seems that he has turned a deaf ear to my words."

Elder Xuegui, the former outer sect elder of the Immortal Artifact Sect, established the Blood Lake Corpse Mountain 100,000 years ago to accommodate his own disciples and relatives.

This kind of thing is very common within the Immortal Artifact Sect's sphere of influence.

Even the Jiutian Shenlei Zhenzong, if it goes back more than 100,000 years, may have a relationship with a certain Immortal Artifact Sect cultivator.

"Wulian Lingzun!"

"Haha, it seems that this fellow Xuehu is not far from the peak of the Refining Void."

Tiangong Building Master Duofu Zhenzun smiled: "This fellow Taoist should be eyeing the Hedao realm now and starting to ignore the rules of the Immortal Sect."

"He, Hedao?"

"Wishful thinking."

Zaishan Zhenzun sneered.

This is not that he despises the lower domain refining emptiness, but with the talent and foundation of the Blood Lake Ancestor, even if he is allowed to break through the Hedao, there will be no chance, which is almost impossible.

"However, if it is left alone, the order of the Leiyan domain will be chaotic, and it will cause many lower domain refining emptiness to follow suit."

"It must be suppressed by thunder."

Zaishan Zhenzun made a decision with murderous intent on his face.

The Immortal Weapon Sect's worshiper has this power and can make arbitrary decisions. As long as the final result is good, the lower domain order is not chaotic, and the short-term tax revenue and the long-term continuous tax revenue in the future are not reduced, he will be meritorious.

Buzz!

At this time, a communication talisman flashed in the hand of Duofu Zhenzun on the side. He took it out and handed it to Caishan Zhenzun.

"Brother, take a look. This is a message from Brother Mukui, the inner sect elder of the 'Spirit Puppet' lineage."

"Brother Mukui's ancestor is Elder Xuekui."

Duofu Zhenzun sighed slightly.

"A message from Master Mukui?"

Zaishan Zhenzun frowned.

After a long time, he withdrew the orders that had been issued to the surrounding areas, and no longer recruited the Taoist soldiers of the nearby Zhenzong. The many inner sect disciples of the Xianqi Sect who were gathering in the Xianzong also canceled their actions.
