You must know that even the former king of spiritual beasts, who was so powerful and invincible, did not dare to go into full-scale war with human cultivators. In the end, a tacit understanding of balance was reached. How could a mere Suzaku dare to have such courage and ambition?
"Humans bully me and humiliate my spirit beast clan like this. Fellow spirit beast brothers, what do you think we should do?" Qinglong provoked on the spot without any concealment.
"Paralyzed, kill humans, pay with blood!"
"That's right, let humans pay the price, we spirit beasts cannot be cowards!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!..." All the spirit beasts in the audience suddenly erupted with terrifying murderous aura, and even the sky was affected by the sudden change of the wind and clouds. Originally, the sky was clear, but at this moment, it was suddenly covered with dark clouds, with lightning and thunder.
Some deliberate instigation has completely aroused the overwhelming anger of all the spirit beasts. Any powerful spirit beast is inherently unruly. In their eyes, human cultivators are nothing more than food. Now they suddenly realize that they are majestic spirit beasts. A clan has been oppressed to this extent by humans, how can there be any reason to continue to compromise?
"Everyone, be quiet." Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Qinglong once again signaled the spirit beasts to quiet down, and said in a deep voice: "The cost of launching a war is too high. We cannot take this step unless it is absolutely necessary. However, according to the king's will, we spirit beasts Even if we don’t go to war against shameless humans, we must at least hold our own territory in our hands. Nanzhou belongs to our spirit beast clan, and we will never allow them, humans, to come and leave as they please!”
Lin Yi and Guidongxi were shocked when they heard this. Hearing Qinglong's tone, could it be that he wanted to expel all the humans in the nearby Nanzhou Sea, or even kill them all?
If this is the case, although it is not as serious as a full-scale war, it is definitely not a trivial matter. If something goes wrong during the process, it may become out of control.
The two of them were secretly frightened, but the powerful and excited spirit beasts present had no such concerns. Except for a very few cautious individuals, the vast majority of them were full-fledged militants. They can't wait to start an all-out war. If the above said that these humans in the Nanzhou Sea should be wiped out, they would definitely support it with both hands and feet.
"So in accordance with the king's will, Elder Zhuque and I will discuss and decide together. We will fully dispatch city lords and administrative departments to the main cities in the Nanzhou Sea to be responsible for collecting taxes in each Nanzhou Sea. From now on, all All human cultivators who come to travel and live in Nanzhou must pay taxes to our spirit beast clan!" Qinglong took advantage of the situation and announced loudly.
Pay taxes? Lin Yi and Guidong were stunned at the same time, with strange looks on their faces. It turned out that this was the idea. Dare Suzaku and this new Qinglong were not going to start a war, but they wanted to use this name to prepare to make a lot of money...
"The Demonic Sea Area is the most prosperous and stable among all the sea areas in Nanzhou, and the location is relatively close to our Anluo Cultivation City. Therefore, after discussion between Elder Suzaku and I, we decided that this sea area with the most oil and water should be handed over to us. This is for all the spirit beast brothers present. The king needs you to maintain law and order, and more importantly, he needs you to collect taxes on his behalf. Are you willing?" Qinglong encouraged.
"Yes!!!" All the spirit beasts immediately responded in unison. Everyone was delighted and excited: "Your Majesty is wise, these shameless humans should have paid tribute to your Majesty long ago. We are willing to serve your Majesty and ensure that we complete the mission..."
Although the human sect is huge in power, as far as the Nanzhou Sea is concerned, all the human cultivators gathered together are no match for their spirit beast clan. Just dispatching a few powerful spirit beasts is enough to wipe out all the people in the Nanzhou Sea. There is no suspense about the suppression of all these human cultivators.
So just order it down. The fate of these human cultivators in the Nanzhou Sea has been doomed. Facing behemoths like the Spirit Beast Clan, they have no power to resist. Anyone who refuses to follow will be crushed to pieces.
For the spirit beast clan, this is simply a business without capital. A piece of naturally fat and oily meat hangs in front of you, and you can swallow it in one gulp at any time as long as your superiors give the order.
Listening to the rising and falling voices, Qinglong turned around and smiled at each other. This was a plan they had arranged long ago, and collecting taxes was only the first step in their plan. Judging from the reactions at the scene, this crucial first step was obviously successful.
"As expected, Suzaku, this ambitious guy, really doesn't know what to do with peace. He has just started to make money wantonly after taking control of the power of the spirit beast clan. This bastard is too greedy. Let him continue to do whatever he wants. , I’m afraid the spirit beast clan will be doomed, alas..." The ghost sighed helplessly.
Lin Yi nodded in agreement and levied taxes on human cultivators in the Nanzhou Sea. This matter sounded reasonable and understandable.
Because the Nanzhou Sea is attached to the South Island, it is indeed the territory of the spirit beast clan in theory. Even renting a house has to pay rent, not to mention so many human cultivators thriving in the Nanzhou Sea?
But the problem is that human cultivators have not only come to the Nanzhou Sea in the past two years, but have been stationed here for thousands of years. Their understanding and recognition of the Nanzhou Sea is only higher than that of the spirit beast clan. In terms of time span alone, it is no exaggeration to say that they are the masters of the Nanzhou waters.
For thousands of years, although the human cultivators in the Nanzhou Sea and the spirit beast clan in the South Island are only a few feet apart, they have always lived in peace with each other. But now this rule has been broken because of Suzaku's selfish interests. Can so many human practitioners be convinced?
As the saying goes, if a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. For the spiritual jade, which is an external possession, many people, even their brothers, can raise their swords and drop them. No one can hand over the spiritual jade in their hands! Even if the human sect comes to impose taxes, it is impossible not to have turmoil in the waters of Nanzhou, let alone the opposing spiritual beast clan...
Once taxation suddenly starts, it is foreseeable that a fierce battle will inevitably be inevitable. Even if these human cultivators in the Nanzhou Sea are not opponents of the spirit beast clan, if it really reaches the point of no retreat, there will always be people who can't help but rise up. .
With the overwhelming strength of the spirit beast clan, it is more than enough to crush these human cultivators in the Nanzhou Sea to death!
I just don’t know if Suzaku and Qinglong have ever thought that a single spark can start a prairie fire. Once this kind of thing catches fire in the Nanzhou Sea, it will be impossible to extinguish it in the Nanzhou Sea. In the end, it will inevitably destroy the humans on other Tianjie Islands. Practitioners are involved... (To be continued.)
