Chapter 291: The Power of the Martial Saint

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 would far exceed the tax collection, and it would become the second level of imprisonment on the heads of 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 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 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. Then 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 and said, "But you must always remember that the Demon Court is about to be established, and the biggest crisis of Da Gan comes from outside the domain. Try to do as little as possible to avoid internal losses!"

"Grandson, always remember this!"

Emperor Hongde explained, "The reason for this is that the Dao League, headed by Yunxiao Dao Palace, relies on the True Immortal Ancestor and secretly plots to refuse to pay the Immortal Tax. Grandson can only show iron-blooded means to deter the disobedient."

Li Long frowned slightly and asked, "Is this the intention of the Dao League, or is it secretly controlled by the True Immortal?"

"Grandson believes that there are True Immortals fanning the flames, and only those Taoists dare not disobey the ancestor. The Immortal Tax is testing your bottom line!"

Emperor Hongde said in a deep voice, "Now that Da Gan has the ancestor sitting in charge, it can still deter the True Immortal. In the future, when you die..."

Li Long looked embarrassed. The True Immortal has a treasure to protect himself, and he is not willing to provoke him.

After all, the True Immortal has a long life span and can be reincarnated after death. It is unwise to create a big enemy for Da Gan for nothing!

"Ancestor, the demon court is facing a great enemy. The court must centralize power and gather all the human forces to survive the catastrophe."

Emperor Hongde continued to persuade: "So the immortal tax is a small matter, but it is a loss of national strength. Not to mention the establishment of the demon court in the future, we are going south to Qingqiu to ripen the immortal lotus. Once the Taoist Alliance drags down..."

"That makes sense!"

Li Long nodded in agreement immediately. Ripening the immortal lotus is a top-notch matter in his eyes.

When the immortal lotus matures and the successor of the Martial Saint is cultivated, the great cause will not fall and the human race will not be destroyed.

"It just so happens that the real immortal has an appointment with me to fight. Now that there is this reason, I should learn from him!"

"Thank you, ancestor!"

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

"The real immortal is extraordinary and detached from the world. No matter how he hides, he can't escape my induction!"

Li Long said confidently, pointing to the east.

"He is in the East Market, transforming into a Taoist priest, helping people to tell fortunes!"

...

Monobu.

Zhou Yi entered the room and saw Chen Ying coming early in the morning.

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

Chen Ying said helplessly: "Brother Zhou, the late emperor has just passed away, and all the brothels have been closed for a month to show mourning."

"Brother Zhou, you don't know that Brother Chen is now famous and known as the best talent in Luojing."

Cui Yuan laughed and said: "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, a high-level battle, and one against two. He got a new nickname, what is the first fast gun?"

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

As he said this, his fingers changed, flashing with wisps of lightning, and he actually integrated the gun method into the finger method, and he has practiced to the state of changing by heart.

"Not bad, not bad, the talent for gun method is so high!"

Zhou Yi nodded and praised, with such results in just a few days, he can be said to be gifted.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ying couldn't help but say proudly: "When I march south to Qingqiu, I will definitely use my spear to pick up fox spirits and let them see how powerful the lightning spear is!"

The court has already spread the news that the northern expedition has been changed to the southern expedition to avenge General Gongsun.

Emperor Hongde said this and won the support of the generals in the army, and took the opportunity to gather many confidants.

"Haha!"

Zhou Yi couldn't help laughing and said, "There are already many fox spirits who have seen it."

Chen Ying asked in confusion: "What does Brother Zhou mean?"

"You will understand when the time comes, but I advise you..."

Zhou Yi said: "When you arrive in Qingqiu, you'd better change your name, and never call yourself Chen Ying!"

Chen Ying was even more confused: "Why is this? I want the name of Chen Ying to resound throughout the demon clan!"

"Just listen to me, when has it ever harmed you?"

Zhou Yi knew through the magical power of marrying dreams that "Chen Ying" far away in Qingqiu was already famous and on the must-kill list of dozens or hundreds of demon kings.

Chen Ying looked doubtful about his life and began to think about giving himself a new name.

——I didn't finish writing today because I was working overtime. I'll update it first. I'm working hard. I'm very sorry! It will take about half an hour. Just refresh it~

Fulong Palace.

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

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

It will take some time to refine the immortal lotus spirit body into the body and replace the severely injured bones and muscles.

Emperor Hongde knelt and said, "Grandson, pay your respects to the ancestor!"

"Get up."

Li Long looked at Emperor Hongde with a strange look, and said, "I didn't expect that the new emperor I casually appointed would have such good means!"

"Behead the censor, behead the prime minister, behead the emperor's uncle, and easily take the power of the court into his pocket!"

Emperor Hongde's face changed slightly, and said, "Grandson is terrified, and he has no choice but to do so!"

"No need to explain, I have seen a lot of such things."

Li Long waved his hand and said, "But you must always remember that the demon court is about to be established, and the biggest crisis of Dagan comes from outside the domain. Try to do as little as possible to reduce internal losses!"

"Grandson, always be careful Remember!"

Emperor Hongde explained: "The reason for this is that the Dao League, headed by Yunxiao Dao Palace, relied on the True Immortal Ancestor and secretly plotted to refuse to pay the Immortal Tax. The only way for the Grandson to deter the disobedient is to show iron-blooded means. "

Li Long frowned slightly and asked: "Is this the intention of the Dao League, or is it secretly controlled by the True Immortal?"

"Old Ancestor, the demon court is facing a great enemy. The court must centralize power and gather all the human forces to survive the catastrophe."

Emperor Hongde continued to persuade: "So the immortal tax is a small matter, but it is consuming the strength of the country. Not to mention the establishment of the demon court in the future, we are going south to Qingqiu to ripen the immortal lotus. Once the Taoist Alliance drags down..."

"That makes sense!"

Li Long nodded in agreement immediately. Ripening the immortal lotus is a top-notch matter in his eyes.

"It just so happens that the real immortal has an appointment with me to fight. After some time, I will go and learn from him!"

"Thank you, old ancestor!"

Emperor Hongde asked in confusion: "The real immortal's whereabouts are uncertain. Do you know where he is?"

"No matter how he hides, he can't escape my induction!"

Li Long said confidently, pointing to the east.

"The real immortal is in the East Market, and he is transforming into a mortal Taoist to tell fortunes!"
