The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 310: Many Birds in the Southern Wilderness

In less than five minutes, a black line appeared rapidly across the sky.

That speed of escape is obviously unique to birds.

This is something Wang Wu cannot match at this moment.

How to compare?

An ordinary swallow can fly at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, let alone a second-grade swallow monster that has practiced martial arts. It can easily fly hundreds of thousands of miles back and forth in a day. When attacking Wushui City two years ago, the monster soldiers who came back to deliver letters were basically these little swift monsters.

That’s awesome!
The last time they robbed the west coast, one of the two second-grade monsters who were left behind was Yuyan, who was also the elder of Master Yan.

"Brother Xiong Wu, how are you?"

The voice came from afar, and before it fell, a man with a cold face appeared in front of Wang Wu. He took Master Yan away, and his body was still in the air, but he had used his magical powers several times in a row, trying to break the blood talisman. But after three seconds, he still obediently put Master Yan back to his original place, and his originally cold face finally showed a smile.

Second-grade monster!

One of the six generals under the Zuo Yaodi.

His name seemed to be Feihen, the same as Tieyao, but Tieyao seemed to be dead.

pitiful.

"Brother Xiong Wu, I am a man of no moral integrity and outspoken, and I dared to offend the princess. I deserve death! But I hope that Brother Xiong Wu will spare my life because I once fought alongside you and because I also fought fiercely under the city of Wushui! From now on, the spiritual taxes of the twelve mountain and forest fiefdoms of the Yan clan will not be reduced by a cent. If there is any omission, I will let you punish me!"

"Fellow Daoist Yan, you are too kind. I am the new director of the Royal City Taxation Bureau, and I still need your support. Dragon Snake City is the front line of our Southern Wilderness Monster Clan against the human race. The brothers on the front line are risking their lives and shedding their blood. We in the rear must not hold them back and disappoint them."

Wang Wu also smiled, looking sincere.

"That's right, General Xiong is far-sighted and enthusiastic. He is truly a blessing to our Southern Wilderness Monster Clan."

Yan Feihen could only follow Wang Wu's words with the same sincerity on his face.

At this point, Wang Wu waved his hand and took back the blood talisman. Master Yan's body swayed and he almost lost his balance. He still looked a little unconvinced, but the next second he was slapped several times by his father.

"General Xiong, I will never break my promise. We will not pay even a penny less in taxes to the Yan tribe! Goodbye!"

After saying that, Yan Feihen grabbed Yan Zhenren and fled away in a flash. Wang Wu saw him off with a smile, not worrying that Yan Feihen would go back on his word.

At this moment, in the tax office of the royal city, Master Xi had disappeared, leaving only Master He and Master Ya. Even half of the two thousand little demons had run away.

There is no doubt that some of the monster families have no intention of submitting.

Wang Wu was not in a hurry. He continued to sit there, closing his eyes and resting. As time passed, the sun set in the west and it was about to get dark. Finally, Master He stepped forward.

"General, is there really no room for maneuver in this matter?"

"Yes, I can make concessions. Other taxes can be exempted, but the tax on the mountains and forests must be paid, not a penny less!" Wang Wu was still very sincere. According to his fiefdom, with an income of three million spiritual energy per day, the tax on the mountains and forests would be 120 million, which was not bad.

"General, I am willing to be a middleman and mediate between the two parties. From now on, the tax will be adjusted to only 500,000 buckets of spiritual essence for every 500 miles in radius. This is the price offered by the Nine Clans of the Southern Wilderness. They are giving the general a face, and they also hope that the general will stop while he is ahead, so as not to hurt the relationship."

"Five million?"

This is a half-price cut and then another discount.

"I'm sorry, Master He, please tell me that Longshe City is an important line of defense for the future of our Southern Wilderness and the most important fortress against the human race. You can either go to Longshe City to garrison and enjoy tax exemption on the front line! Or, you have to pay taxes in the rear. There is no possibility that you can enjoy comfort and not want to take responsibility!"

"I am just trying to persuade you with good words. Today, I will only collect the most basic land tax from the mountains and forests. Don't blame me for turning hostile tomorrow!"

Wang Wu said coldly, this is a very simple truth. If the frontline Dragon Snake City wants to develop rapidly, it needs resources. How can it resist the human race without resources?

Don't talk about the Demon Emperor Zuo insisting on attacking Wushui City. Strategic space is fought for. Now that we have occupied Wushui City, we have the city defenses left by the human race. This is a great line of defense.

While the Human Immortal Alliance is encircling and suppressing the Snake Emperor, we should develop vigorously. Even if we are defeated in the future, we can still hold on for a few hundred more years.

They kept saying that they didn't want the past events in the Western Wilderness to happen again.

In the end, what was the difference between what he did and what the warlords and wealthy families in the Western Wilderness did back then?
Instead, they mocked him as a fool! A scapegoat!

What a deal!

Wang Wu sneered in his heart, and his murderous intent grew stronger!
And Master He said nothing more. He just bowed, sighed, and left silently.

Night falls and the day ends.

The two thousand little demons had all escaped, and in the huge tax office of the royal city, only the trembling Master Ya was left, hiding in a corner and shaking.

"Why don't you leave?"

Wang Wu was quite curious. "Hey, brother-in-law, no, general, where am I going? I am Princess Skylark's cousin, we are a family."

Master Ya came up to him with a fawning look on his face.

"Then tell me, what is going on with the Nine Clans of the Southern Wilderness? Do you dare to tell me now?"

"I dare, I dare. I was unsure before, haha. Who would have thought that you, the great general, have been promoted to the second rank? Ahem, these so-called nine tribes of the Southern Wasteland are actually relatives. They are all birds. The leader is the peacock. The current tribe leader is Zuo Yaodi. But this time, the peacock tribe was seriously injured, so it is inevitable that there will be some different opinions in the tribe. The main one is Zuo Yaodi's uncle Tiezhua."

"Then there are the Crane Clan, Crow Clan, Eagle Clan, Swallow Clan, Goose Clan, and the clans that have already split off, such as the Magpie Clan and Raven Clan within the Crow Clan, as well as the Falcon Clan and Eagle Clan that split off from the Eagle Clan. In fact, there are hundreds of clans, big and small, and these are the main body of the Southern Wilderness Monster Clan."

"As for the group like the Right Demon Emperor, they are actually outsiders. How can they be qualified to call themselves the Southern Wilderness Demon Clan? Ah, General, I am not targeting you. You are a descendant of a famous family, hehe!"

Wang Wu was moved when he heard this, "You said that the majority of the Southern Wilderness monsters were once bird monsters?"

"Yes, that's what the ancient books record anyway. The Western Wasteland has more beasts, the Southern Wasteland has more birds. The Eastern Wasteland has more poisonous insects, and the Northern Wasteland has more dragons and snakes. I will never get these four sentences wrong, even if you kill me."

"So that's how it is? That's why the Snake Emperor hid in the North Sea, because the Dragon Clan flourished in the Northern Wilderness?" Wang Wu repeated it silently in his mind and found it quite interesting, just like a platter of side dishes prepared by a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

"Um, the Dragon Clan, I don't know, it's too long ago, even ancient books rarely record it..."

"I see. So the Nine Clans of the Southern Wilderness are the leaders. If they don't pay taxes, then the other clans won't pay taxes either, right?"

"Yes Yes."

Wang Wu seemed to be lost in thought and stopped talking. In the distance, there were constant prying eyes and whispered plans in the night, sometimes ferocious, sometimes vicious and cruel, and sometimes indescribable, but no one dared to rush forward.

Even if it is also a second-grade monster.

The night passed just like that, the sky became bright, and along with the golden sunlight, countless spiritual essences fell.

Wang Wu held the seal of the royal city in his hand, which showed the location of each family's manor and forest, as well as the current situation of their spiritual income.

This is a magic weapon that can prevent tax evasion.

Of course, it is possible to secretly take away some spiritual essence, but the spiritual essence cauldrons used by each family are synchronized with the seal of the royal city.

In addition, the spiritual energy only lasts for a moment, so it is difficult to evade taxes.

Soon, the spiritual energy stopped falling from the sky. Wang Wu then held the tripod in his hand and set off the evil wind. He first went to his own fiefdom to collect taxes as usual, and then prepared to go to the fiefdom of General Tieyao next door, as well as several other fiefdoms.

The characteristics of these fiefdoms are that they are all within a thousand miles of the Xuanwu Royal City, and they are all trusted confidants of the Zuo Yao Emperor.

Even if a general like Tieyao dies in battle, his successor will pay taxes honestly.

As long as they paid taxes, they would be protected and eligible to develop and grow within this fiefdom.

"King Xiongwu, do you need me to mobilize troops?"

Outside their own fiefdom, Yuan Bupo, Lao Niu and Lao Zhu looked at him worriedly.

How can one collect taxes alone?

"No, you just need to guard the fiefdom and make the best use of your time to practice. Of course, you can't waste your practice."

Wang Wu waved his hand, holding the tripod in his hand, with two demon emperor's flags floating behind him, and flew across the river. The widows of General Tieyao had been waiting outside the fiefdom for a long time.

When the two sides met, the widows of the three iron-waisted generals first brought a few young demons to pay homage to the two demon emperors' flags, and then paid homage to Wang Wu, who returned the greeting.

"I am shocked to hear the tragic news. I am heartbroken! Please accept my condolences, my three sisters-in-law!"

Wang Wu spoke very sincerely.

"Thank you, General Xiong. We are an orphan and a widow. Please, General, give us a chance to live for the sake of General Tieyao." General Tieyao's wives and concubines suddenly burst into tears, and even those little demons glared at Wang Wu angrily.

"My three sisters-in-law, please make it clear. I am only here to collect taxes. You only need to pay the forest and land tax. How can this be called leaving no way out?"

"General Xiong, are you really confused, or are you pretending to be confused? The nine tribes of the Southern Wilderness have publicly threatened that whoever dares to pay taxes first will be isolated and targeted. How can we, an orphan and a widow, fight against them? If you force us to pay taxes now, aren't you forcing our family to be broken up? Anyway, our head is dead, and all the legions of the family have died. There is no one left to take over. General Xiong might as well kill us all and put an end to it all!"

Wang Wu was stunned when he heard this. He really thought the matter was too simple.

But it’s really interesting. The Nine Clans of the Southern Wilderness, are they forcing him to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys?
After thinking for a while, he slowed down his tone and said, "Three sisters-in-law, this is my fault. You are threatened by the thieves. You don't have to pay the tax for now. We can pay it after I deal with the thieves. It's not too late to pay it. Empty words are not enough. I will be back soon!"

After saying that, he bowed once more, and when he turned around again, his whole body turned into a demonic wind. It was no longer a demonic wind that posed no threat or even could not be perceived like the gentle breeze and bright moon, but a demonic wind that was as bloody as a curtain and half-covered the sky with demonic energy!
nothing left!

This evil wind even spans thousands of miles and can be felt tens of thousands of miles away.

Tell me, who wants to be exterminated?
