A swarm of heavy artillery bombarded the cultivators.

Chapter 1392: Immortal Weapon Sect’s Rule over the Lower Domain

In a corner of the Lei Ze region, the sky was filled with colorful clouds and the envoy of the Immortal Weapon Sect arrived.

At this time, the Jiuxiao Shenlei Zhenzong and the Xuehu Shigushan Lianxu did not go to pay a visit, but respectfully sent disciples to greet and accompany them.

A team led by many Divine Transformation Monks also went to the Swamp Demon City.

This is because the envoy of the Immortal Weapon Sect had just crossed the boundary wall and was seriously injured. Any Void Refining cultivator who approached would be directly regarded as harboring malicious intentions and rebelling.

If the two great sects did not want to start a rebellion now, they would not do anything that would cause misunderstanding.

"I don't know how strong the Immortal Weapon Sect's envoy is..."

Jiang Ding looked toward the distant sky filled with colorful clouds and muttered to himself.

According to common sense, this kind of cultivator who does miscellaneous work must not be a top-level Void Refining cultivator in the Immortal Weapon Sect, nor a Void Refining genius. This kind of important combat power will definitely not appear in such routine administrative affairs, even if there are lucrative benefits in it.

This question has also been carefully considered by the lawless True Master of the Swamp, who was born as a casual cultivator.

His inference was that the Immortal Artifact Sect's envoy must be very powerful, and must have some special trump cards to use as a deterrent, otherwise it would be impossible for so many True Sects to be so respectful and pay more than 80% of their tributes every thousand years.

Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents.

Not to mention the wealth in the world of immortal cultivation, which is directly related to strength, lifespan, dreams, the great way and everything else. Not every immortal cultivator is rational, calm at all times, and able to weigh the pros and cons.

Such heavy taxes cannot be enforced simply by relying on reputation.

"I hope he can do business honestly, otherwise I will beat him up."

Jiang Ding thought quietly.

Killing, but not for the time being, will lead to a break with the giant Xianqi Sect and cause more intense conflicts.

There are always many things in life that we cannot help.

The injuries sustained by the Immortal Weapon Sect's envoy from crossing the realm will be healed within about thirty years. At that time, he will begin to truly take action, meet with the True Lords of Refining Void from all sides, and once again declare the power of the Immortal Weapon Sect.

……

In the palace of the Immortal Sect on the boundary wall of the Leiyan Realm.

An old man with a stern look was sitting cross-legged.

The middle-aged monk next to him was the opposite of him. He had a smiling face and was very friendly, which made people feel good about him.

These two people are naturally the Immortal Weapon Sect's worshiper Caishan Zhenzun and the Tiangong Tower's head Duofu Zhenzun.

One of them is responsible for taxation and directly collects offerings from the lower regions, while the other is responsible for re-dumping in the lower regions through trade, implementing the Xianqi Sect's policy of strengthening the trunk and weakening the branches in a more tactful and gentle manner.

Naturally, it is only natural to have some conveniences to meet their own needs. The top leaders of the Immortal Sect also know that the elders below are working hard, and they will not care as long as it is not too excessive.

In front of the two of them, a faceless mechanical puppet in white armor was kneeling on one knee, reporting. It was the famous "Sleepless Puppet" of the Immortal Artifact Sect.

Legend has it that it is one of the top masterpieces among the mechanical puppets of the Immortal Artifact Sect, specialized in lurking and spying. It can disguise itself as rocks, plants, monks, disciples and elders of sects at all levels, and even the children, wife and children of the sect's ancestor, making it impossible for even the True Venerable Lianxu to detect it. It is extremely terrifying.

In the many realms, there are very few things that the Wumian Puppet of the Immortal Weapon Sect does not know.

The Immortal Sect seems to have free rein on the Lower Realm, with no restrictions. They only collect taxes every thousand years or conscript Taoist soldiers to fight in distant places. Apart from that, there is nothing else and it is very lenient.

But this is just an illusion, there are also various strict monitoring measures.

“…The Blood Lake Corpse Mountain has a tendency to unify the Thunder Flame Region, and the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Sect is no match for it.

…suggesting that the sect intervene…

...When necessary, recruit Taoist soldiers from nearby realms, and send inner sect disciples to lead the way to destroy the Blood Lake Mountain of Corpses, or order the Blood Lake Patriarch to commit suicide, and purge the cultivators of the current Patriarch's lineage to serve as a warning to others..."

"...Thunder Flame Territory has enjoyed good weather and abundant natural treasures over the past thousand years. Tax revenue is expected to increase by 15% compared to the previous thousand years..." "...The True Lord of the Swamp Demon City seems to be searching for something recently. He has been purchasing a large number of low- and mid-level skills and natural treasures. It is impossible to determine his purpose..."

The sleepless puppet reported to the Immortal Weapon Sect's envoy.

Over the past thousand years, the various changes that have taken place in the Lei Yan Territory, from products to political situations, and even whether the production of certain natural treasures has decreased, are extremely detailed, perhaps even clearer than the two great sects themselves.

After the report was completed, the sleepless puppet disappeared silently.

This is something between life and a mechanical puppet, resembling the land god in mythology. If they are not summoned, they will not appear on their own. It is one of the important foundations of the Immortal Weapon Sect.

"Infinite Spiritual Lord!"

"This blood lake is really ungrateful!"

The cold and stern old man Caishan Zhenzun had murderous intent in his voice: "As early as a thousand years ago, I had already told him that for the sake of the Blood Puppet Elder who founded the sect a hundred thousand years ago, I could recognize the other territories of the Jiuxiao Shenlei Zhenzong that were invaded at that time."

"But not again and again!"

"It seems that he turned a deaf ear to my words."

Elder Blood Puppet, the former outer sect elder of the Immortal Weapon Sect, established the Blood Lake Corpse Mountain one hundred thousand years ago to house his own disciples and relatives.

This kind of thing is very common within the Immortal Weapon Sect’s sphere of influence.

Even if it was the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Sect, tens of thousands of years ago, it might have been related to a cultivator from the Immortal Weapon Sect.

"Infinite Spiritual Lord!"

“Haha, it seems that this fellow Daoist Xuehu is not far from the peak of the Void Refining Peak.”

Duofu Zhenzun, the head of Tiangong Tower, smiled and said, "This fellow Taoist should be looking at the Hedao realm now and starting to ignore the rules of the Immortal Sect."

"He, Hedao?"

"wishful thinking."

Caishan Zhenzun sneered.

It's not that he looked down on the lower realm's refining of emptiness, but with the Blood Lake Ancestor's talent and foundation, even if he was allowed to break through to the Dao, there would not be a one in a million chance, which is almost impossible to happen.

“However, if left unchecked, the order in the Thunder Flame Domain will be disrupted, and it will also cause many Void Refiners in the lower domains to follow suit.”

"It must be suppressed by thunder."

Caishan Zhenzun showed murderous intent on his face and made a decision.

The Immortal Weapon Sect's priest has this kind of power and can make arbitrary decisions. As long as the final result is good, the order in the lower domain is not disrupted, and there is no reduction in short-term tax revenue and long-term continuous tax revenue in the future, he will be considered meritorious.

hum!
At this time, a communication talisman flashed in the hand of Duofu Zhenzun. He took it out, looked at it, and handed it to Caishan Zhenzun.

"Brother, please take a look. This is a message from Brother Mukui, the inner sect elder of the Spirit Puppet lineage."

"Senior Brother Mukui's ancestor is Elder Xuekui."

Duofu Zhenzun sighed slightly.

"A message from Master Wood Puppet?"

Caishan Zhenzun frowned.

After a long time, he withdrew the orders that had been issued to the surrounding areas and stopped recruiting Taoist soldiers from the nearby Zhen Sect. The many disciples from the Xianqi Sect who were gathering in the Xian Sect also canceled their actions.
