Glancing at the clothes of Lin Shaogen and the others, the middle-aged man in the black room turned his head to the other side, and stretched out one of his hands to the former people, obviously meaning that he was willing to tell them if he wanted to give money. Just as Lin Shaogen was about to give money, a burly man next to him said kindly, seeing this, the middle-aged man in the black room glared at him with an annoyed and complaining face.

In this regard, the burly man ignored it at all, and then told Lin Shaogen and others that in the past, he only needed to pay 100 yuan to enter the city, and since today was the succession ceremony of the new courtyard of the Ming Emperor, today's entry tax had to be paid 500 yuan.

"Taxes can only be collected by the imperial court and local governments, and the Ming Emperor and Elder are so openly collecting city taxes and succession taxes, doesn't the city lord's mansion of Meridian City care?" Looking at the people and warriors who lined up in front of them to pay taxes and enter the city in turn, Hong Qianjiao couldn't help but turn around and asked the burly man with some incomprehension, except for the imperial court and local government, the general forces dare not openly collect taxes even if they are strong and big.

"Now that the Emperor of the Kunlun Empire has to grovel when he sees the Ming Emperor, because his strength is so strong that he can easily destroy the entire Kunlun Empire, what does the Meridian City City Lord's Mansion dare to say to the Eastern Regions God King's Mansion to collect taxes?"

Immediately, Lin Shaogen and others paid 500 yuan to enter the city in accordance with the regulations, although with the strong cultivation of these people, they could enter the city directly without paying money. But if it really starts, it will inevitably alarm the Ming Emperor and the people of the Eastern Regions Divine King's Mansion, and he must try to deal with them, but he is afraid that he will not be able to reach the Eastern Regions Divine King's Mansion smoothly.

As soon as they entered Meridian City, Lin Shaogen and the others saw that both sides of the street were full of beggars who were reaching out for food, many of them were dressed in tatters, and their parents were asking for money and food from passers-by, and there were even people who openly sold their children. On both sides of the street, the begging procession stretched to a kilometer, and the number of people was as many as tens of thousands, and in the past, only a few beggars were seen in Meridian City, and it increased to tens of thousands in less than a month.

Lin Shaogen originally thought that they were all refugees from other places, but when he inquired later, he learned that these beggars were all ordinary people in Meridian City, and it was the various harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes of the Eastern Regions Divine King Mansion that made them bankrupt, so that they were reduced to the point where they are now living on the streets and begging for food.

"This Ming Emperor is simply a tyrant who eats people and doesn't spit out bones, and he actually exploits the people of Meridian City like this." His eyes swept over the tens of thousands of begging teams on both sides, and Bai Qiushuang's delicate cheeks couldn't help but pass over a trace of irrepressible anger.

Looking at the begging teams on both sides of the street, Lin Shao was more sympathetic to their plight, but also had an incomparably bitter hatred for Emperor Ming, for the sake of the thousands of people in Meridian City, even if he really reached the demigod realm, he must be eliminated as a great scourge. Originally, I was quite jealous and uneasy about Emperor Ming's breakthrough to the demigod realm, but I could see these tens of thousands of people begging on the streets.

Lin Shaogen's heart had a calmness of justice and evil, and there was no fear or retreat on his face, and immediately, he asked Hong Qianjiao and the Eastern Regions Divine King Mansion to take out the money and food they had with them and distribute them to these begging people.

But there were so many people begging that their money and food were completely insignificant, so when the people behind them reached out to them for money and food after giving alms to a small number of people, they had to be forced to choose to fly around in desperation.

"The family really doesn't have the money to pay the succession tax, I beg you, let go of my two daughters, if you want to arrest you, you will arrest us!" After flying through the air for half an hour, Lin Shaogen suddenly saw more than a dozen disciples of the Eastern Regions Divine King Mansion below, who were about to forcibly take away the two daughters of an ordinary family, and their father was wearing a coarse cloth coat with a patch nail embroidered on it.

"This is the order of our new head of the court, Emperor Ming, if you can't pay the succession tax, you will use your children to pay off the debt, and if you dare to talk a lot of nonsense in front of us, we will send you, this old guy, back to the west with a knife." A disciple of the Eastern Regions God King's Mansion was vicious, raised his foot and kicked the opponent out directly, slamming into the wall behind him, and then fainting with bleeding from the back of his head.

Seeing that their father was bleeding from the back of his head and fainted, the two daughters shouted and tried to rush over, but they were indeed forcibly pulled by the two disciples of the Eastern Regions Divine King Mansion next to them.

"Wait a minute, let these two girls go, otherwise, I will let you be carried back to the Holy Mountain of the Eastern Regions without turning into corpses." Suddenly, Lin Shaogen's figure swept over his head and slowly fell in front of the disciples of the Eastern Regions Divine King's Mansion. Although the other party's behavior of forcibly robbing the people's girls is intolerable, as the owner of the courtyard, because he takes into account the friendship of the same family, Lin Shao does not want to directly injure and disable them.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have talked about this nonsense, and if it had been someone else, they would have rushed over and dealt with them with a few punches and kicks. Seeing Lin Shaogen's sudden appearance from the sky, more than a dozen disciples of the Eastern Regions Divine King's Mansion suddenly took a few steps back and became vigilant.

"You are a traitor Lin Shaogen, we don't go looking for you, we dare to come to Meridian City to send you to death, it just so happens that today is the succession ceremony of the old master of the emperor's house, and he will be very happy to arrest you back as a big gift."

A disciple of the Eastern Regions Divine King's Mansion was about to ask Lin Shaogen who was waiting for him? At this time, a companion next to him took a few steps forward and recognized him, since he had only joined the Eastern Regions Divine King Mansion for a few days, the above-mentioned disciple did not recognize their former courtyard master at all, this companion was twenty-five or sixteen years old and was wearing a Nine Crane Regiment embroidered martial arts robe.

Because the current Eastern Regions Divine King's Mansion is in full swing, and the Ming Emperor respects the old cultivators and is so powerful that even the Kunlun Empire Emperor is groveling in front of him, so, although Lin Shaogen is strong one by one, and he is arrogant on weekdays, so they don't have the slightest fear and jealousy.

Immediately, a few Eastern Regions Divine Mansion disciples behind him stepped forward to arrest Lin Shaogeng, but before he could reach the front, a hundred-meter-long sword slashed out, and in an instant, the two Eastern Regions Divine Mansion disciples who stepped forward to arrest people directly exploded There was not even blood and bones left, and only this young man wearing the embroidered martial arts robe of the Nine Crane Regiment was left among the dozen disciples.

Seeing that more than a dozen companions were slashed by a sword in the blink of an eye, there was not even blood and bones left, and the face of the young disciple wearing the Nine Crane Group Embroidery suddenly changed with a pale color, and then, he quickly reacted and unfolded his body and ran away.

Seeing this, after an indifferent sneer appeared on his face, Lin Shaogen waved the Divine Dragon Light Saber in his hand and slashed out a sword, and in the next second, the opponent's body directly exploded into nothing, and there was not even a drop of blood and bone residue left.

"Thank you for saving my daughter, but if you kill the people of the Eastern Regions God King's Mansion, they won't let you go, so you better leave Meridian City quickly!" After rushing over and hugging the two daughters, the middle-aged man in a coarse cloth coat said gratefully to Lin Shaogen and the others, but soon his face turned gloomy into a worry.

"Uncle, I am the ...... of the Eastern Regions Divine Palace, no, it should be the messenger of the Heavenly God Temple, it was God who sent us to get rid of the big villain of Emperor Ming, with us in charge of you, you don't have to be afraid." When Lin Shao was about to reveal his identity, he suddenly changed his words, because even if he saw one and killed the other, he could only save a few people, not thousands of people in Meridian City.

But if it is said that the envoys of the Heavenly God Temple, so that they all have the backbone, they will not pay any taxes in the future? will even resist the dictatorship and brutality of the Ming Emperor. But there is one thing that really needs the help of the four Wang Yan, after all, if they don't pay taxes or resist, these powerless people are the opponents of the disciples of the Eastern Regions God King.

Immediately, Lin Shaogen called out Wang Chuang and the four of them, and said all the good things bitterly, asking the four of them to put a sevenfold divine halo on the heads of all the people of Meridian City, and use it to protect the safety of all the people. Originally, why didn't the four of them want to? Therefore, this was an easy thing for him, but he felt that he was only here to secretly protect Lin Shaogen and Yan Sen, and he had no responsibility or obligation to protect the people of Meridian City.

But Lin Shao couldn't stand it, and he used the method to provoke them and say that they didn't have this ability, and then, in order to prove that they had this ability, Wang Yan and the four of them gave each of the people of Meridian City a sevenfold divine halo, of course, it was usually invisible, and it would only appear when they encountered a threat. Soon, the disciples of the Eastern Regions Divine King's Mansion who came to collect the succession tax were all seriously injured by the sevenfold divine halo above the people's heads.

Then, Lin Shaogen and the others, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of people in Meridian City, swaggered towards the Holy Mountain in the Eastern Regions. At this time, in the hall of the main hall of the Eastern Regions Divine King Mansion, all forces, the royal family of the Kunlun Empire, and the five major junior super sects were standing on both sides, waiting for the beginning of the succession ceremony of the courtyard master.

Located on the west side of the main peak of the Holy Mountain in the Eastern Regions, there is a Divine King Peak, which has a cosmic deep space full of stars, and the stars in the sky are the holy souls of the masters of the past dynasties. Half an hour later, an old figure swept out of the Star Pavilion, he was about sixty years old, his facial features were completely deep in flesh and blood, and from a distance it looked as if he only had a nose, eyes, and a mouth without a face.

Although the eyes under the thick eyebrows are cloudy, they can indeed directly travel through time and space to see the past of hundreds of years, and only by cultivating to reach the peak of the ninth layer of the Divine Void Realm can they reach this point.

He wears a dark blue robe with wide sleeves, and his chest is inlaid with egg-sized crystals, which form a pattern of eight trigrams. He was none other than the successor of the Eastern Regions Divine King Mansion, Emperor Ming.

The Yuan Force aura on his body was no different from a few days ago? Obviously, there was no sudden Divine Void Realm ninth layer reaching the demigod realm, even if he succeeded in devouring and absorbing the holy souls of the previous courtyard masters. He could have continued to stay in the Star Pavilion to impact the demigod realm, but because it was the auspicious time for the succession ceremony of the courtyard master, he had to leave the customs in advance.
