Peerless Taoist

"Master, you might not know, but we have to take the risk to hunt some dangerous Demonic Beasts in the mountains in exchange for money."    

A cultivator complained: "The Spiritual Illusion Sacred Land has taken over the City Lord's Mansion and ordered all the people in the villages and towns to pay taxes. The tax they wanted was complicated and extremely heavy. We were forced to hunt in order to pay taxes in order to make a living. "    

Another person said: "It's better for us to have some cultivation levels, but for those ordinary people, it is even more tragic. Many of them have to leave their homes and escape to the deep forest in order to survive."    

Lu Yu frowned: "It's actually so serious. How much tax did the Spiritual Sacred Land collect?"    

A few cultivators gathered around and started to discuss the amount they had to hand over at once. Every single one of them was an astronomical figure.    

This didn't seem like they were going to properly manage the Netherworld at all, and it seemed like a group of bandits had come to exhaust the pond and catch the fish.    

"The experts sent by the Spiritual Sacred Land are called tax emissaries. Anyone who doesn't pay the full amount will be punished."    

One of the cultivators sighed: "The lightest case would be to have your cultivation level crippled, and the heaviest case would be to lose your life. Even those rich and powerful families would not be able to withstand this pressure. "    

Right now, for the Nether Realm, it was a complete and utter chaos.    

When the Duan Clan was in power, they would restrain themselves a bit. However, these people of the Spiritual Illusion Sacred Land didn't restrain themselves at all.    

Chaos suddenly came from the distance, and there was the sound of crying as well as the cries of children.    

The crowd gradually started to become shocked.    

"It's the people from the Spiritual Illusion Sacred Land! They're here to collect taxes again!"    

"These people are too greedy! They've just swept through several big cities, and now, they're not even letting go of the small villages!"    

The people around them cursed, but their faces were filled with fear.    

It was obvious that the experts of the Spiritual Illusion Sacred Land had brought them a great deal of pressure.    

Some of them were already scared and ran far away, not planning to fight the people of the Spiritual Sacred Land head on.    

However, whatever they were scared of would come true. The people from the Spiritual Sacred Lands seemed to have heard the news of this place a long time ago, and they rushed over as soon as they appeared.    

Hu ~ ~    

The black wind howled wildly, and a dozen or so knights appeared in the sky, riding Demonic Beasts, swaggering their way over.    

They had a straight Cloud Pattern Badge on their bodies. This was the symbol of the Spiritual Illusion Sacred Land, and it made many people's expressions change when they heard it.    

The leader of the group was a knight captain who didn't seem very old. He had a handsome face, but his eyes were extremely dark.    

"All of you, get lost!"    

"Those who don't want to die, get out of the way!"    

Behind the knight, the group of knights raised their horsewhips and whipped the surrounding cultivators.    

The cultivators weren't the knights' match to begin with, and with the Spiritual Sacred Land's power, they didn't dare to fight back.    

Arghh! Screams sounded one after another as many people were beaten to a pulp. However, they only dared to retreat and didn't dare to fight with the knights of the Spiritual Sacred Land.    

Pang Nianqiu stood up in anger and shouted, "Stop! How can you casually injure people!?"    

The knights heard Pang Nianqiu's clear and crisp female voice and immediately stopped their whips. Their gazes all fell on Pang Nianqiu's body.    

"You must be the famous Fairy Doctor from this small town, right?"    

The commander sized Pang Nianqiu up from head to toe. His eyes were bright as they swept over Pang Nianqiu's exquisite body.    

Pang Nianqiu's brows were tightly knit as he asked in a deep voice, "What are you planning to do?"
