If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 516: No Time to Pay Tax, Then Confiscate It

The news of the Eye of the Sky appearing in Dayu Dynasty, Baidi City, and Qianzhou quickly spread.

Wulong and others who were arranged to live in the palace were almost scared to the ground after hearing about this.

Just as they left, something as grand as the Eye of the Sky appeared in Qianzhou. How could this be a coincidence!
They knew that their surrender to Dayu on behalf of Taoism would definitely cause action from Tianxu Tower, but they never thought that Tianxu Tower's reaction would be so great!

Wu Long and others immediately ran to the Ministry of Revenue to ask to see the Minister of Revenue Ye Shen.

"Master Ye Shen! Master Ye Shen! When will it be our turn to pay the taxes? We must pay the taxes immediately!"

The super sects have to make up for the taxes that have been owed for hundreds of thousands of years, which is a huge workload, so even the Ministry of Revenue has not yet come up with a specific number.

Wulong and his men were very happy just now. Although the taxes must be paid, one day late is one day late.

But they couldn't laugh now. Before paying the taxes, the Dayu Dynasty would definitely not seriously protect super sects like them, and Tianxu Tower might want to deal with them seriously now. The Eye of the Sky might be a signal to the Dayu Dynasty, threatening the Dayu Dynasty not to interfere!
Emperor Yu was not yet ready for a full-scale war with Tianxu Tower, and they were not naive enough to think that Emperor Yu would be merciful enough to protect them. So they had no choice but to quickly bind themselves to the Dayu Dynasty. As long as they became a part of the Dayu Dynasty, Emperor Yu would never stand idly by in order to defend the Dayu Dynasty's absolute dominance in the world.

Ye Shen was worried about the fact that the super sect had too many bad debts. When he saw Wu Long and others coming to urge him to pay, he immediately got angry. However, after hearing what others said and knowing that the Eye of the Sky had suddenly appeared in Qianzhou, Ye Shen immediately smiled.

But he certainly couldn't go to see Wulong and others with a smile, so he immediately cut out a face with a paralyzed expression.

"What's the matter with you all suddenly coming to my place?"

Wu Long felt a sinking feeling in his heart when he saw Ye Shen's cold attitude. This man was the Minister of Revenue among the six ministers. How could he not know about the sudden appearance of the Eye of the Sky in Qianzhou? This cold reaction was telling them that the Dayu Dynasty would not fall out with them just because of a super sect like them who said "Your Majesty, go to Tianxu Tower".

"Lord Ye Shen, we are here to pay the taxes. We are very uneasy when we think about the fact that our sect has been in arrears of taxes for hundreds of thousands of years. So is there any way to pay the taxes quickly?" Wu Long rubbed his hands anxiously, but did not dare to urge him directly.

You and I both know that these super sects need the help of the Dayu Dynasty to resist the pressure from the Tianxu Tower. Both sides know it, but they tacitly agree not to bring it up. If he shows it too obviously, the Dayu Dynasty will definitely be unhappy.

So he must never rush.

"Hmph! How dare you talk like that! Look at what you've handed in. Not only is the format incorrect, but the contents are also a mess. Some of them are account books from two or three hundred years ago. Now the entire Ministry of Revenue is settling accounts with you guys!" Ye Shen raised his hand and threw the account book in his hand on the table.

Wu Long and others looked embarrassed but didn't know what to say.

The fire was burning at their butts, so they had no time to count the assets of the super sect first. Of course they surrendered first. Besides, how could they have expected that the usually low-key Tianxu Tower would make such a big fuss.

"Well, thank you Ye Shen and everyone in the Ministry of Revenue for your hard work. I wonder how long it will take to settle this account?"

Ye Shen snorted and raised three fingers.

"Three days?" Wu Long breathed a sigh of relief.

Three days is still okay.

Ye Shen shook his head.

Wu Long's heart sank, "Thirty days?"

Ye Shen still shook his head.

"Three months!?"

"It's three hundred years!"

"What? Lord Ye Shen, don't be ridiculous! It won't take three hundred years, will it?" Wu Long fretted, suspecting Ye Shen was acting on Emperor Yu's instructions to test the limits of these super sects. "Do you really think we can fully account for the hundreds of thousands of years of experience of your super sects and calculate the tax burden in three months?" Ye Shen laughed, his laughter not fake.

"We in the Dayu Dynasty have always been fair and just, even to you!"

"Every Emperor Yu would make changes and reforms to the tax system. We must first determine when your industries were established, and then calculate how much tax you need to pay based on the tax revenue collected during each Emperor Yu's tenure!"

"The premise for completing this task in just three hundred years is that we work here without eating or drinking, and the information provided by you super sects has no loopholes!"

Ye Shen was so angry that Wulong and others fell silent.

If he had heard yesterday that the Ministry of Revenue needed three hundred years to calculate how much tax should be paid, he would have laughed out loud.

It would be great to be able to drag it on for three hundred years.

But now, three hundred years?
Three months is enough to kill me, and you're still dragging it out for three hundred years! ?

"Well, well, I'm sorry to trouble you all, but is there any other faster way?" Wu Long rubbed his hands. The leaders of other super sects had the same reaction.

"You know what? There's actually a way to pay taxes without having to calculate how much."

"Really?" Wu Long was stunned and opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"Confiscate it."

Wulong was struck by lightning, and Gui Moye and other super sect leaders were also petrified.

Indeed, if they were to confiscate the property directly, there would be no need to calculate how much tax these super sects would have to pay.

"So, um, what does confiscation mean?"

"From today on, those industries will be fully taken over by the Dayu Dynasty. They have nothing to do with you," Ye Shen said, crossing his fingers and looking businesslike.
"How can this be possible!" The leader of a super sect couldn't help but shout out loud.

The super sect is wealthy and powerful, with a strong foundation, so naturally they don’t care about one or two assets being confiscated, but the question is, could it be just one or two assets that Ye Shen said would be confiscated?
Ye Shen was asking them to hand over all their additional assets other than the super sect itself.

This is something they cannot accept no matter what.

Even Wu Long put away his smile and said, "Master Ye Shen, we need to think about this."

"No, I won't..."

Ye Shen was not in a hurry at all.

After leaving the Ministry of Revenue, Wulong and others seemed to be encouraging each other, and as if to give themselves confidence, they cursed Ye Shen for his bad behavior of taking advantage of the situation.

"That's too much! This isn't a tax collector! He's a blood-sucking worm!"

"Everyone, they want to chop off all our hands and feet! If we take a step back, there will be no way back!"

The leaders of the super sects were talking to each other, which was very exciting, until they heard that the super sects of the Tianxu Tower Alliance were acting strangely and seemed to be preparing for war.

“Confiscate!!!!”
