Chaos hegemony

Chapter 812 The Water Family's Crisis!
Shen Haoxuan pondered for a long time, but he didn't have any clues. The specific situation would not be known until Shui Ruolan's family. Afterwards, Shen Haoxuan changed the subject and asked some questions about the local conditions and customs of Zhongyu.

The two soon came to a bustling city near the Chiyan Mountains. The road to the central region was very long, and it would take a year for Shen Haoxuan to fly there. It would be easier and less laborious to pass through the space channel.

Putting on the robes of the fourth-rank alchemist, Shen Haoxuan and Shui Ruolan also received VIP-level treatment, and they took the shuttle smoothly into the space passage.

After three months of trekking, Shen Haoxuan finally stepped into the land of the Central Territory. Feeling the rich spiritual power in the surrounding world, Shen Haoxuan couldn't help being a little excited. The Central Territory is the lifeblood of the entire Xingluo Continent. It is also the most developed region, and the spiritual power of the world here is indeed much richer than other regions.

"Miss Ruolan, you're finally back!" Just as the two of them left the square, several figures surrounded them and shouted anxiously at Shui Ruolan.

"Uncle Zhang, I'm back!" Shui Ruolan said with a bitter expression as she looked at the middle-aged man in front of her.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back, let's go, the patriarch is waiting for you!" The middle-aged man called Zhang Bo by Shui Ruolan pulled Shui Ruolan and walked out. in a hurry.

"Wait Zhang Bo, I brought a friend back this time, he is here to help us!" Shui Ruolan quickly pulled Zhang Bo back and introduced Shen Haoxuan.

Hearing Shui Ruolan introduce herself, Shen Haoxuan gave Zhang Bo and the others a friendly smile as a greeting.

Zhang Bo and the others looked at Shen Haoxuan, and then frowned. They couldn't feel the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power in Shen Haoxuan's body, and the whole person seemed to have nothing special about him other than being handsome. The robes of the fourth-rank alchemist, but the fourth-rank alchemist is nothing in this middle region, the Shui family has two sixth-rank alchemist guest elders, so Shen Haoxuan, the fourth-rank alchemist, is not rare.

Zhang Bo and the others casually glanced at Shen Haoxuan, and then looked away, not paying attention to Shen Haoxuan at all. Although the Shui family is not a big family, they still have at least some strength, and not everyone can join their eyes.

Shen Haoxuan also saw the indifference in the eyes of Zhang Bo and the others, but he didn't care. After all, the small world in his body was sealed, and he looked like an ordinary person. It was natural for others to look down on him. After all, he was a strong man. Besides, they are all members of Shui Ruolan's tribe, so Shen Haoxuan naturally laughed it off.

"Miss, something big is happening in the clan. The Qin family and the Xue family came to find it together, and also came with an inner disciple of the Eight Desolation Sword Sect. Let our Shui family disappear, but they have tripled the tax this year, and my Shui family can't afford it. The patriarch is discussing this with them now, and today is the deadline!" Uncle Zhang said anxiously.

"What, you said that the Qin family and the Xue family invited people from the Eight Desolation Sword Sect? Are they in the clan now?" Shui Ruolan's expression also tightened, and she asked worriedly.

"Yes, miss, let's go, if it's too late, maybe the patriarch won't be able to hold on anymore!" Uncle Zhang said, and walked out first, Shui Ruolan saw this, looked at Shen Haoxuan, and hurried out run.

Along the way, several people increased their speed to the fastest speed, Shen Haoxuan lost his spiritual power, Suzaku Yi was also injured in the battle with Ouyang Feng, and they could only be led by Shui Ruolan at the moment. In this scene, Zhang Bo and the others Their faces were full of contempt, but there were more important matters now, and they didn't have the heart to care about Shen Haoxuan.

The speed of the few people was very fast, and it took only half a day to arrive at the city where the Shui Ruolan family was located. Along the way, Shen Haoxuan also learned about it. There are three major families in this half-moon city, namely the Shui family. , the Xue family and the Qin family, the three major families are all affiliated forces of the Eight Desolation Sword Sect. The management rights of the three major families in Banyue City are rotated once a year, but each year the three major families have to pay a certain amount of taxes to the Eight Desolation Sword Sect. After all, to be protected by the Eight Desolation Sword Sect, it is natural to pay protection fees.

It's just that recently both the Qin family and the Xue family have disciples who have entered the Eight Desolation Sword Sect, and they are also disciples of the inner sect. The two families have joined forces and are eyeing the Shui family's assets, so they resorted to a strategy to directly transfer the taxes that the Shui family needs to pay. The increase has been tripled, how could the Shui family have so much resources at once, but both the Qin family and the Xue family have power in the Eight Desolation Sword Sect, and the Shui family is weak, how can they be the opponents of the Qin family and the Xue family.

And today is the deadline for the Qin family and the Xue family to give the Shui family a grace period. If the Shui family still cannot pay the triple tax, the Eight Desolation Sword Sect will intervene forcefully, and the resources of the Shui family will be withdrawn to the capital. It is light, and the Qin family and the Xue family will definitely do something in it, and the Shui family will definitely be abandoned by the Bahuang Sword Sect. Without the protection of the Bahuang Sword Sect, the Shui family will never see the sun the next day up!

At this time, in the meeting hall of the Shui family, a middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Shui Ruolan was sitting at the head, his face was full of vicissitudes. This was Shui Ruolan's father and the head of the Shui family. Wuyou, and below him are the proud Qin Family Patriarch Qin Chuan and Xue Family Patriarch Xue Gui!
"I said Shui Wuyou, today is the deadline, can you pay all the taxes?" Qin Chuan put the tea cup in his hand on the table and asked lightly.

"Qin Chuan, when did the Eight Desolation Sword Sect increase the tax by three times? Do you dare to say that you were not involved?" Shui Wuyou snorted coldly, staring at Qin Chuan intently.

"Shui Wuyou, this tax was set by the Eight Desolation Sword Sect, how could the two of us tamper with it, this year is the first year of reform, who told you that the Shui family will be the manager of Banyue City this year, you have to pay the tax Of course there are too many!" Xue Gui said with a smile on his face, but the cold look in his eyes made it clear that this guy is not a good guy!

"Hmph, you two are working together, I think you want to annex my Shui family!" Shui Wuyou clenched his fists, the veins on his arms popped out, if he wasn't the head of the Shui family, he would have done it long ago!

"Master Shui, you say that, do you think that I, the Eight Desolation Sword Sect, joined hands with the Qin and Xue families to attack your Shui family? Hmph, don't take a pee and take a good photo to see what kind of virtue you are, if you don't have us Under the protection of the Eight Desolation Sword Sect, can your Shui family have what it is today? Wouldn’t it just raise some taxes, if you can’t even pay this amount, what’s the use for my Eight Desolation Sword Sect to raise such a waste?” When Wuyou felt angry, a young man sitting between Qin Chuan and Xue Gui snorted coldly, looking at Shui Wuyou with disdain in his eyes.

Hearing this young man's words, Shui Wuyou didn't dare to express the slightest dissatisfaction, because this young man is the inner disciple of the Eight Desolation Sword Sect, Wang Zhan, the inner disciple of the Eight Desolation Sword Sect, and his status is higher than his There are many patriarchs in such a small family, for the sake of the Shui family, no matter how angry Shui Wuyou is, he can only swallow it all...
