I have been slaying demons in the Demon Slayer Division for thirty years

Everything that happened on Wusheng Mountain was clearly seen by many experts.

I have some understanding of Emperor Hongde's skills and character.

Ruthless and decisive!

Many of the experts who came to see Emperor Jingtai off today had another purpose, which was to see if they would continue to pay the fairy tax.

Emperor Jingtai formulated the Immortal Tax back then and collected it according to the eleventh day of the Daqian Law.

Many sects believed that the ratio was not high and reluctantly agreed in the face of force and oppression.

Who would have thought that through tax collection, the imperial court would use many tricks to tightly control many sects. The invisible benefits far exceeded the tax collection, and it became the second level of imprisonment over the sects.

The first level is, of course, the Daqian Law.

Now that Emperor Jingtai is dead, whether he still pays the immortal tax depends on Emperor Hongde's skill.

Emperor Hongde was not a strong man in martial arts. Even if he was blessed by martial arts saints and national luck, he was just a mortal, and his soul and will could hardly withstand the pressure of his sect.

The only trouble is the support of Wu Sheng!

Zhou Yi was not interested in these. Seeing that Emperor Jingtai had already been buried, he said goodbye to many experts. .

"Pindao is going back first!"

"It just so happens that the old Taoist and the layman are together."

Sanwu said, turning into a escaping light and flying towards Luo Jing.

Qingfeng Xiaozhu.

Zhou Yi made the spiritual tea and asked, "What's the matter with fellow Taoist?"

"Yesterday someone in the Dao Alliance suggested that we could take this opportunity to refuse to pay the Immortal Tax."

Sanwu said: "Now that the Yunxiao Taoist Palace has the blessing of a true immortal, he has become the leader of the Taoist sect, and the old Taoist is a member of the royal family. The Taoist Alliance hopes that the old Taoist will take the lead in resisting!"

"As long as Yunxiao Dao Palace takes the lead in deducting taxes, if the imperial court dares not forcefully collect it, other sects will not pay it!"

Buddhism and Taoism are the most repulsive to the gods and gods. Due to the scriptures of the exercises, Taoism must be pure in heart, and Buddha must be free from delusions. Therefore, true practitioners of Buddhism and Taoism often live in seclusion.

The emergence of the Immortal Tax caused Taoists and Buddhas to fall from the outside world into the world of mortals, which had a great impact on the practice of disciples.

The Taoist League's proposal to boycott the Immortal Tax is understandable.

Zhou Yi thought for a moment and said: "The Yunxiao Taoist Palace has the blessing of a true immortal. It is only a matter of time before it rises. Paying taxes or not will not have much impact. So why take the lead and give others an advantage?"

"The old Taoist thinks the same way."

Sanwu sighed: "However, they not only found the old way, but also worked with hundreds of officials in the court and the Fang family to try to abolish this tax."

Just after Jingtai died, the sect family was ready to make a move.

"Aren't they afraid of that one?"

Zhou Yi said, pointing in the direction of the palace.

"Of course I'm afraid! However, considering the longevity of our ancestors, how long can we live? Thirty or fifty years is not a long time."

Sanwu said: "What's more, how can a mighty Martial Saint have such a leisurely mind? Emperor Jingtai didn't have the Immortal Tax before, right?"

"This Emperor Hongde is not a soft persimmon!"

Zhou Yi shook his head helplessly. Wherever there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, struggles, life and death.

This kind of thing can never be solved by changing the emperor!

Jingtai has been under great pressure for decades, and various problems have been accumulating under his strength. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, without Jingtai's skill, things will inevitably break out violently.

The fairy tax is just an introduction, a beginning!

"The old Taoist will just sit back and watch to see how this junior compares to Jingtai..."

Sanwu drank the spiritual tea in the cup and slowly disappeared.

Zhou Yi's eyes flashed, a strand of hair fell, and he transformed into a clone and flew towards Wusheng Mountain.

Soon after.

The clone's escaping light rolled up the corpses of a monk and a layman and returned to Qingfeng Xiaozhu.

The two people who assassinated Emperor Hongde were both second-level masters.

Zhou Yi waved his hand and grabbed it, and wisps of residual soul floated out from the corpse. He used the soul search technique to investigate, but unfortunately the soul was too damaged and nothing valuable was found.

"Is it just a show played by Emperor Hongde?"

There is nothing wrong with the play, but the price paid by Emperor Hongde was too high!

A second-grade expert is not a cabbage. They are absolutely high-level people in any continent. Even when Emperor Jingtai was in power, he would not be so wasteful.

What's more, the second-grade masters are all very afraid of death. They have always been on the safe side in times of trouble, but they would listen to Emperor Hongde and commit suicide.

"Is it arranged by the Martial Saint?"

This is the most reasonable explanation!

Zhou Yi waved his hand, carried the two corpses away, and returned them to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

Sitting alone in the courtyard, drinking slowly and thinking about what to do next.

The first important thing is still to use the Demon Slayer Division's convenience to achieve the medium goal.

The second is to find those who have enough merit to be conferred as righteous gods before the Demon Court is established.

Others, such as Yin Shen cultivation, body refining methods, etc., have to be moved to the back. Compared with the plan a few years ago, there have been many changes.

"Times have changed, and after the demon court is solved, the poor Taoist will be able to practice freely!"

…

Fulong Palace.

Emperor Hongde received the summons from the Martial Saint and hurriedly came to see him.

Li Long has refined the longevity pill and his complexion has recovered a lot.

The immortal lotus root spiritual body was refined into the body to replace the seriously injured muscles and bones, and most of the injuries were healed.

Emperor Hongde knelt down and said, "My grandson pays homage to our ancestor!"

"Get up."

Li Long looked at Emperor Hongde with strange eyes, looked at Emperor Hongde for a moment, and said: "I didn't expect that the new king who ordered it casually would be so good at it!"

"Behead the censor, behead the assistant, behead the emperor's uncle, and easily capture the power of the imperial court!"

Emperor Hongde's expression changed slightly and he said: "My grandson is so frightened that I have no choice but to do this!"

"No need to explain, I've seen this kind of thing many times."

Li Long waved his hand carelessly and said: "But you must always remember that the Demon Court is about to be established, and the biggest crisis for Daqian comes from outside the territory. Try to do as little internal damage as possible!"

"Shisun always remembers this!"

Emperor Hongde explained: "The reason for this is that the Taoist Alliance, headed by Yunxiao Taoist Palace, relies on the True Immortal Patriarch and secretly plots to refuse to pay the Immortal Tax. Only by showing iron-blooded methods can the descendants intimidate the rebels."

Li Long frowned slightly and asked, "Is this the intention of the Taoist Alliance, or is it being manipulated secretly by the True Immortal?"

"Shisun believes that there are true immortals who are adding fuel to the flames. Only those Taoist priests dare to disobey our ancestors. The immortal tax is just testing your bottom line!"

Emperor Hongde said in a deep voice: "Now that Daqian has our ancestors in charge, it can still scare the real immortals. In the future, you will pass away..."

Li Long had a troubled look on his face. The true immortal had a treasure to protect him, and he was not willing to provoke him.

After all, true immortals have a long lifespan and can reincarnate after death. It is unwise to create a big enemy for Daqian in vain!

"Ancestor, the Demon Court is facing a formidable enemy. The imperial court must centralize power and gather the power of all races in order to survive the catastrophe."

Emperor Hongde continued to persuade: "So the taxation of the gods is small, but it is depleting the strength of the country. Not to mention the establishment of the Demon Court in the future, if we go south to Qingqiu to ripen the fairy lotus, once the Taoist Alliance drags us down..."

"That makes sense!"

Li Long immediately nodded in agreement. Ripening the fairy lotus was a first-class and important matter in his eyes.

When the Immortal Lotus matures, it is necessary to cultivate and succeed the Martial Saint, so that the great cadres can not fall, and the human race can be immortal.

"It just so happens that the true immortal has a fighting agreement with me. Now for this reason, we should have a discussion with him!"

"Thank you for your hard work, ancestor!"

Emperor Hongde asked: "The whereabouts of the real immortal are uncertain. Do you know where he is?"

"A true immortal is otherworldly. No matter how much you hide it, you can't escape my feeling!"

Li Long looked confident, pointed to the east and said.

"He is in Dongshi, transforming into a mortal Taoist, helping people tell fortunes and divination!"

…

Ministry of Things.

Zhou Yi walked in and saw Chen Ying arriving early in the morning.

"Didn't you go to Chunfeng Tower yesterday?"

Chen Ying said helplessly: "Brother Zhou, the late emperor is newly mourned, so all the Goulan brothels have been closed for a month as a mark of mourning."

"Brother Zhou, you don't know that Brother Chen has become famous now and is known as the number one talent in Luo Jing."

Cui Yuan smiled and said: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you are a better fighter, and you can win with one against two. You have a new nickname, what is it called No. 1 Quick Spear?"

Chen Ying said quickly: "It's a lightning gun!"

As he spoke, his fingers changed, flashing with wisps of electric light, and he actually integrated the spear technique into the fingering, and he had already practiced to the state of transformation from the heart.

"Not bad, your marksmanship talent is so high!"

Zhou Yi nodded in praise. He was extremely talented to achieve such results in just a few days.

When Chen Ying heard this, he couldn't help but said proudly: "When we conquer Qingqiu in the south, I will definitely pick out the vixens and let them see the power of the lightning gun!"

News has circulated in the court that the Northern Expedition has turned into a Southern Expedition to avenge General Gongsun.

Emperor Hongde said this and won the support of the generals in the army, taking the opportunity to win over many confidants.

"Ha ha!"

Zhou Yi couldn't help laughing and said: "There are already many vixens who have seen it."

Chen Ying asked in confusion: "Brother Zhou, what do you mean?"

"You will understand then, but I would like to advise you..."

Zhou Yi said: "When you arrive in Qingqiu, you'd better change your name. Don't call her Chen Ying!"

Chen Ying was even more confused: "Why do I want Chen Ying's name to be resounding throughout the demon clan?"

"Just listen to me. When have I ever harmed you?"

Zhou Yi used the magical power of marrying a dream, but he knew that "Chen Ying" who was far away in Qingqiu had become famous and was on the must-kill list of dozens of demon kings.

Chen Ying looked suspicious of life and began to think about giving herself a new name.

——I worked overtime today and didn’t finish it. I updated it first. I’m working hard on it. I’m extremely sorry! It will take about half an hour, just refresh~

Fulong Palace.

Emperor Hongde received the summons from the Martial Saint and hurriedly came to see him.

Li Long has refined the longevity pill and his complexion has recovered a lot.

It will take some time for the immortal lotus root spiritual body to be refined into the body and replace the seriously injured and damaged muscles and bones.

Emperor Hongde knelt down and said, "My grandson pays homage to our ancestor!"

"Get up."

Li Long looked at Emperor Hongde with strange eyes, looked at Emperor Hongde for a moment, and said: "I didn't expect that the new king who ordered it casually would be so good at it!"

After all, true immortals have a long lifespan and can reincarnate after death. It is unwise to create a big enemy for Daqian in vain!

"Ancestor, the Demon Court is currently facing a formidable enemy. The imperial court must centralize power and gather the power of all races in order to survive another great catastrophe."

Emperor Hongde continued to persuade: "So the taxation of the gods is small, but it is depleting the strength of the country. Not to mention the establishment of the Demon Court in the future, if we go south to Qingqiu to ripen the fairy lotus, once the Taoist Alliance drags us down..."

"It just so happens that the true immortal has a fighting agreement with me. I'll go and compete with him in a few days!"

"Thank you for your hard work, ancestor!"

Emperor Hongde wondered: "The whereabouts of the true immortal are uncertain. Do you know where he is?"

"No matter how hard he tries to hide it, he can't escape my feeling!"

Li Long looked confident, pointed to the east and said.

"The true immortal is in Dongshi, transforming into a mortal Taoist, telling fortunes and divination!"
