Chapter 316: Breaking Arrows
In the Lone Star Valley, everyone was also looking at the huge city that was slowly rising in the distance.
After being shocked for a long time, Mo Ren said to Zhang Dacang beside him: "Cannon, you have been to the Xuanling Realm, is there such a city in the Xuanling Realm?" β
"Nope!"
Zhang Dacang shook his head: "At least I haven't seen it all the way from Beizhou to Zhongzhou!" Mountain Lord, have you seen such a scene in other parts of the Mysterious Spirit Realm? β
Qi Xingyu, who was in front, heard the opening and said: "No, no, don't say it, I haven't even heard of it!" Lifting such a large city into the air, even the immortals can't do it! β
His voice was visibly trembling, and he was clearly shocked by the sight.
"Xuantian, hanging above the sky, the Xuantian Dynasty is really bold!"
Lu Fang also sighed in the crowd.
Jiang Ye looked into the distance and muttered, "Yes, it's really magnificent!" β
"Teacher, the people of the Xuantian Dynasty have arrived at the Yin Moon Sect, it should not be long before they arrive in Heishui Town, will they come to the valley then?"
At this time, Xu Qilin walked over, glanced at the situation in the distance, and came to Lu Fang's side and said.
A few days ago, news came back from other places in Tiannan that people claiming to be officials of the household department of the Xuantian Emperor Dynasty arrived in various clans and cities one after another, and directly approached the city lord to ask for the household registration list.
At the beginning, naturally some people who didn't know why didn't cooperate much, but after some officials took action to deter them, they all cooperated one by one.
"It should come."
Lu Fang nodded and said, "It's okay to come, when the time comes, you will sort out the list of teachers and students in the valley and hand them a copy!" β
"Good!"
Xu Qilin paused after speaking: "Do you also have to hand in the names of the teachers present?" β
"Handed over, Xuantian should be in the census, and it's nothing to hand it in."
Lu Fang continued: "Besides, we don't have anything unsightly in the Lone Star Valley, and there is nothing to hide. β
"Understood, then the disciple will go and sort out the list!"
Xu Qilin nodded and walked back.
"What does the census mean?"
Jiang Ye heard this word for the first time and asked Lu Fang.
"Literally!"
Lu Fang saw that the others also looked at him and explained, "Since the Xuantian Emperor Dynasty is the ruler of this land, then of course they need to know how many people exist in this land, so that their decrees can be better implemented. β
"Decree?"
"The decree is the policy of the imperial court!"
Lu Fang explained again, and said: "In the past, we Tiannan were governed by the sect and the city, but in the future, I am afraid that it will change!" β
After speaking, he asked Qi Xingyu, "Lord Qi Mountain, how do the other dynasties in the Xuanling Realm rule the people under their rule?" In other words, how is the Imperial Dynasty of the Xuanling Realm different from the current Xuantian? β
"I don't know much about the affairs of the dynasty."
Qi Xingyu thought for a while and said: "I only know that in every big city, the city lord is appointed by the imperial court, and there are also garrisons sent by the imperial court, of course, the strength and number of garrisons are determined according to the size of the city."
Within the imperial dynasty, there are also many sects, and unlike you, the sects are all in sparsely populated places, and they are basically built by mountains.
The sect is not allowed to meddle in the affairs of the city, and every year, it will pay a certain amount of materials to the dynasty, such as spirit stones, pills, minerals and other things, if not, the court will send the nearest garrison to clear it! β
"Send troops to clear it?"
Zhang Dacang hurriedly asked, "Then do we have to hand over things to the dynasty every year?" β
"My Blue Sky Mountain is a holy place!"
Qi Xingyu said loudly: "In terms of status, we are equal to the dynasty, no one can, and no one dares to let us hand over things!" β
"Equal to the dynasty in status?"
Zhang Dacang's eyes lit up: "In that case, other cities or sects still have to pay things to our Bikong Mountain?" How many spirit stones can we collect each year? β
"Uh......"
A trace of embarrassment flashed in Qi Xingyu's eyes: "Young Master, our Bikong Mountain has not been concerned about the world for many years, and we haven't received anything from other sects and cities many years ago!" β
"Don't accept it?"
Zhang Dacang was stunned: "Why don't you accept it?" β
"Uh......"
Seeing that Qi Xingyu's expression was a little unnatural, Lu Fang said: "Accepting other people's things means that you have something to stand up for others!" With the 10,000-year-old heritage of Bikong Mountain, how can you covet this little profit? β
"Petty profits?"
Zhang Dacang nodded after hearing this: "Also, it's easy to end this matter at the beginning, but it is a little inconsistent with the purpose of Bikong Mountain not to ask about the world!" β
Speaking of this, Zhang Dacang frowned and asked, "Mountain Lord, who set the purpose of this unasked worldly matter?" Not asking about the world means not participating in the struggle, but if you don't fight, where will you get the resources for cultivation?
Although we have so many years of heritage in Bikong Mountain, we can't sit and eat the sky! If it goes on like this, no matter how thick the foundation is, sooner or later it will be spent out! β
"Uh......"
Qi Xingyu was embarrassed for a while, he couldn't say that he set it himself, right?
It's not good to admit in front of so many people that the name of the holy land of Bikong Mountain has long been unworthy of its name.
After thinking about it, he had to say: "Young master, there are not many disciples in the mountain, and they usually need to cultivate, and the expenses are not very large, and the things in the treasure house are enough for us to use a few more, hmm...... Thousands of years! β
"Even for thousands of years, you can't sit and eat nothing!"
After Zhang Dacang finished speaking, he saw that he was a little slurring when he spoke, and thought that he had a taboo: "Mountain master, shouldn't it be my master who has set the purpose of not asking about the world?"
Master, his old man is really good!
How could such a sect be set for purpose?
No, when he comes out, I'm going to have to mention it to him!
How can you sit and eat empty......"
It's not that Zhang Dacang realized it later, he really didn't expect that Qi Xingyu, who has the cultivation of the Tribulation Realm, would manage Bikong Mountain to a somewhat embarrassing situation!
"Can't mention!"
Qi Xingyu hurriedly said: "Young master! Don't mention this to your ancestors! β
"Why?"
Zhang Dacang was stunned.
"Because ......"
Qi Xingyu's mind spun fast: "Because if you mention it rashly, the ancestors still think that our juniors are dissatisfied with him!" The ancestor had just come out of Xuantian, what if he was upset? β
"That'sβthat'll do!"
Zhang Dacang also felt that there was some truth: "Wait until I find a chance to tell Master in the future!" β
Lu Fang had never been to Bikong Mountain, so he naturally didn't know the situation in Bikong Mountain, and after seeing them chatting, he asked, "Lord Qi Mountain," If there is a fight between the sects, the court will not care?" β
Qi Xingyu was afraid that Zhang Dacang would say something more, so he hurriedly said: "Generally, I won't care, unless it hurts the people who have not cultivated, the imperial court will not pay attention to the battle between the sects." β
As soon as he finished speaking, he paused and added, "Hmm...... According to my observation, the imperial court not only does not care about sect fights, but even deliberately provokes conflicts between sects!
For example, the imperial court will take out the mining rights of the spirit stone mine for public auction, or simply hold a competition, so that the winner can get the mining rights. β
Lu Fang nodded, it was normal for the imperial court not to want to see the rise of other forces under his rule.
Jiang Ye asked Qi Xingyu on the side at this time: "The Lord of Qi Mountain just said that if the sect angers the imperial court, the imperial court will send troops to clear it, then, what kind of strength do these so-called garrisons have?" β
For Jiang Ye, Qi Xingyu also had some understanding during this time, and Tiannan, who was not small in his opinion, became the sect master of the largest sect, and naturally he was not an ordinary person.
He usually answers some of his questions, and now he is no exception.
"The garrison is generally a cultivated military exercise, and the strength is as strong and weak as the sect, and even generally speaking, the strength of the ordinary garrison is much stronger than that of most sects.
However, they represent the imperial court, and under normal circumstances, the sect does not dare to do anything to them, because once they do, there will be a more powerful army, and when the time comes, it is very likely to cause the disaster of destroying the sect! β
"Extermination?"
Jiang Ye's pupils shrank.
"That's right, destroy the sect!"
Qi Xingyu continued: "The imperial army has the Broken Gang Arrow, even if it is an ordinary person who has not cultivated, as long as he can open the bow, he can kill the person who builds the foundation and even cultivates in the Jindan period!"
There is also the Broken Gang Crossbow, which is powerful enough to break through the ordinary Sect Protector Array, as long as thousands or even tens of thousands of people use the Broken Gang Arrow Crossbow at the same time, the ordinary sect will not be able to withstand it! β
"The Broken Gang Arrow is so powerful?"
When Mo Yin and Mo Ren father and son heard this, they immediately exclaimed.
"It's amazing!"
Qi Xingyu nodded: "Moreover, the Breaking Gang Arrow can only be mastered by the imperial court, if it is found that other sects, or other people have the Breaking Gang Arrow, the imperial court will never give up, and will definitely investigate it to the end!" β
