You are already cultivating immortality, who would fight with you alone?

Chapter 400 It’s Senior Liu 1! We are saved!

"Sir... Sir, why are you doing this?" One of them asked tremblingly, his voice shaking like a candle in the wind.

Another person also quickly agreed, "Yes, sir, even the highest commercial tax in our area is only 20%!"

Another person cried bitterly, "These are opportunities we fought for with our lives. In order to save our lives, we have spent a lot of our resources! If you really take away half of them, we will lose a lot!"

The Jinyiwei had a cold smile on his face. He turned his wrist, grasped the long sword in his backhand, and stabbed it into the ground.

With a "puff" sound, the long sword was deeply embedded in the ground, and the handle was still trembling slightly.

Then, he half-knelt down, and his eyes, like a venomous snake, slowly swept across everyone's faces, full of teasing.

"Humph! When I asked you to pay just now, you all played dumb and refused to pay."

He paused, raised his voice and said sternly, "You want to pay now? It's too late! Time is money, all of you have to pay me the late payment fee!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in confusion.

Late payment fee? What is that?

And what does the saying “time is money” mean?

In their previous knowledge, they had never heard of such a novel statement.

For the monks, their daily meditation and practice often last for more than a month without them opening or closing their eyes.

And the time it takes to do a cup of tea is the fastest and most efficient time standard that they can understand.

Now the sudden emergence of late payment fees and the idea that time is money has left them confused and bewildered.

But Liu Yi understood it. After staying with Liu Yuntian for a long time, he had learned some things from him.

He was certain that these Jinyiwei did not understand what he was saying, because these were all orders from Liu Yuntianxia.

The purpose is to force them into a desperate situation.

They dare to resist only when they have no way to survive. If you want to arouse their bloodiness, you must force them into a desperate situation!

"Don't pay?"

Jinyiwei snorted coldly, "Humph! I can still get it even if I kill you!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the Jinyiwei around him drew their swords one after another, and the atmosphere of the whole scene instantly became tense.

"Since you, the dog officials of Liang State, don't want us to live, then no one will live! Brothers, grab your weapons and fight them!"

"That's right! Let's fight!"

"How can we let them take advantage of what we have risked our lives to obtain?!"

Seeing someone rushing out first, the people behind him immediately rushed forward like a tide.

The war is like an arrow on a string, ready to break out at any moment.

However, this group of independent cultivators had their own ideas, and most of them were thinking of breaking out, trying to push others out to block the attack so as to buy themselves a chance to escape.

Therefore, in the fierce battle, one could see the independent cultivators treating their weaker counterparts as weapons, throwing them fiercely at the Jinyiwei, and then taking advantage of the opportunity to run away.

But the situation is completely different for the Jinyiwei. They have been carrying out tasks together for a long time, and their cooperation with each other is seamless and tacit.

In the blink of an eye, the number of independent cultivators dropped drastically.

Liu Yi looked at this scene and shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself that Mr. Liu had once again predicted things so well.

It turns out that in addition to the pressure from those in power, these "sheep" at the bottom will also fight against each other. There is no need to rule them deliberately. Just apply a little pressure and they will kill their own people.

There is still a long way to go to bring together such a motley crowd.

When the number of casualties was almost the same, Liu Yi seized the perfect opportunity and appeared again in a strong posture.

“Stop it all!!!”

Following Liu Yi's angry shout, both sides stopped fighting instantly, retreated to a safe area, and turned their eyes to him.

"Sir, you are asking for taxes, and we are willing to pay 20%. Why do you have to press us so hard?"

"Besides, when you, the Jinyiwei, entered the secret realm, you also suffered heavy casualties. If you continue to fight like this, it will be a hundred harms and no benefit to both sides. When the higher-ups come to investigate, I'm afraid you will have a hard time explaining it, right?!"

Liu Yi's identity is very mysterious to the outside world, but within the Jinyiwei, everyone knows it.

It was all thanks to Liu Yuntian's favor that he was given the Feiyu Clothes and the Embroidered Spring Sword, and he even personally held a ceremony to crown him.

If people said that Liu Yi was Liu Yuntian's illegitimate son, everyone would believe it without a doubt.

Although only Liu Yuntian and Liu Yi knew about this "Head Sheep Plan", the rest of the Jinyiwei were just following orders.

But when seeing Liu Yi, even the dumbest person could notice something.

Since Master Liu did not want to reveal his identity, they would not be foolish enough to expose him. They all pretended to be embarrassed.

"Who are you?!"

Liu Yi took a step forward, releasing his own cultivation aura, and said loudly: "Liu Yi, I am just a casual cultivator!"

"The peak of the Divine Transformation?!"

“He’s actually a casual cultivator at the peak of the Spiritualization Stage?!”

"Your Excellency has such a high level of cultivation! In that case, why wouldn't it be a problem for me to give you a little face?!"

When the Jinyiwei heard this, they immediately exclaimed in exaggeration.

Liu Yizhe's forehead was covered with black lines when he heard this.

What kind of lame acting is this? Is it necessary to be so exaggerated? It's not too late to give in after a few moves!

Only a fool would believe this!

"Ha! Thank you, Senior Liu Yi!"

"Long live Senior Liu Yi!"

"It turned out that Senior Liu Yi took action. We are saved!!!"

Liu Yi staggered again and almost fell to the ground.

This world... really has no shortage of fools...

…………

In the western part of Zhongzhou, where the Buddhist holy land is located.

The majestic temple stands tall and proud in the core area of ​​the holy land, from which the sounds of chanting sutras and reciting Buddha's name can be heard one after another, endlessly.

And the one who ranked first among them was Xuankong, the Holy Lord of this Buddhist holy land.

At this time, a disciple walked quickly into the hall and came to his side and spoke softly,

"Holy Lord..."

Xuan Kong slowly opened his eyes and looked at the disciple who was calling him softly. He then raised his hand to stop the other person from speaking, "Don't disturb your fellow disciples from reciting the sutras. Come with me and we'll talk later."

Soon, the two of them arrived at the meditation room in the side hall.

Xuan Kong sat cross-legged on the couch, his hands clasped together, and asked calmly, "What is the situation in the secret realm?"

"Reporting to the Holy Lord, there were thousands of people who entered the secret realm, but only a few hundred people came out alive... In addition, the Jinyiwei also collected 20% of the taxes from them. In my opinion, this matter does not seem to be a fraud!"

After hearing this, Xuan Kong slowly closed his eyes again, placed his hands naturally on his legs, and muttered to himself:

"It's better to be cautious. We Buddhists don't fight or compete with each other, but the person in the northern border has an extreme mind, so we must be on guard."

"It's a narrow escape..."

"In this case, when another secret realm appears in the world, let Buddhist disciple Yuan Sheng lead you there to share a piece of the pie."
