Chapter 1281 Expropriation
The people who delivered the supplies had already set off. The Immortal Court had experienced two great battles, and the consumption was enormous. In addition to Su Yun"s ruckus in the Immortal Court, everyone in the Immortal Court was busy. The Underworld Demon Front had already been set up and officially declared war on the Immortal Court. If it was only a True Demon Realm, the Immortal Court would naturally not take it seriously. However, with the addition of an Underworld Realm and the involvement of the Underworld Empress, the significance would be different. No matter how arrogant the Immortal Court was, it would not dare to ignore it.
For this reason, the Immortal Court had no choice but to ask the various Immortal Sects for supplies and tribute. Although this would cause the Immortal Sects to be dissatisfied with the Immortal Court, at this juncture, the Immortal Court had no choice but to follow suit. The various immortal sects in Su Yun"s hands had already compromised, and the transport team had already set out, but how could Su Yun just hand over the items to the Immortal Court unharmed? He had already ordered the Eight Trigrams Sect, Great Linglong Palace, Xiaoyao Palace, and Qianlong Hall to send elite troops to quietly follow behind the convoy that was transporting supplies.
The Immortal Court will set up a collection point in each area. The tributes paid by the immortal sects in this area will be gathered and sent to this collection point, which will then be transported to the Immortal Court by the experts in the collection point. Su Yun did not wish for the Immortal Court to obtain new blood and abundant vitality from the hands of these immortal sects. Wasn"t this giving him trouble? Therefore, the four immortal sects corresponded to the collection points in their own areas and were ready to attack. The other four sects had sect leaders leading them. There was no need to worry. Immortal Sect"s strength was the weakest, so Su Yun would lead them.
Immortal Sect"s team had already set off. Su Yun led the five thousand elites and quietly followed. These elites were all peak Ling Xuan Immortal existences. Su Yun had ordered Xiang Yang to spend a large amount of immortal coins to carefully nurture them in order to cope with such an occasion.
The Immortal Court had collected a lot of resources this time, As a result, the scope of the levy is also very wide, Although the Immortal Court was powerful, There were many people, The number of collection points has also been large, However, there weren"t many immortal court guards a.s.signed to each collection point, There were only a thousand people, To deal with more than a thousand people, In fact, with Su Yun"s methods, There was no difficulty at all, Not only Su Yun, If the people of other immortal sects wanted to destroy these thousands of people, And it won"t be hard, However, the Immortal Court was clearly considering that there would be a snack party to disturb them, As a result, a lot of preparations were made, According to the investigation sent by Xiang Yang, The Immortal Court had specially arranged for two immortals who were proficient in spatial immortal arts at each collection point. These immortals were all related to the spatial elemental powers within the Immortal Court, Whenever something unexpected happens to a collection point, These two Immortals who were proficient in spatial immortal techniques would quickly cast their spells and set up a temporary portal. The experts of the Immortal Court would also instantly cross s.p.a.ce and rush from the Immortal Court to the place where the accident occurred. Their speed was extremely fast. It could be said that with these two spatial immortals present, the Immortal Court could support the Immortals at any collection point at any time.
"Therefore, we need to find a way to deal with these two s.p.a.ce Immortals first."
Su Yun thought in his heart, looking at the Immortal Sect Material Team walking in front of him, he thought of a plan for a while.
However, not long after, the team in front slowed down.
It turned out that the Immortal Sect Material Team had already approached the collection point set up by the Immortal Court in this area. In front of them, there were already people from the Immortal Court checking the ident.i.ties of the people from Immortal Sect, and the person in charge of Immortal Sect was negotiating with them.
Su Yun"s cultivation was strong, and his eyesight was also very wide. He slowly looked around and found that there were quite a few immortal teams heading towards this collection point. There were forty to fifty immortal sects in this area, large and small, and the amount of materials collected at this collection point was not small.
Su Yun waved his hand, and the five thousand people behind him immediately activated the magic treasure they had prepared. Everyone"s body gradually became transparent, and the aura emitted from their bodies gradually weakened. Not long after, they could no longer emit any aura. All he had to do now was wait, waiting for the people from the various immortal sects to leave. If he attacked here, Su Yun did not dare to guarantee that the people from these immortal sects would help the Immortal Court. Even if they did not help the Immortal Court, they would at least expose their ident.i.ties. This would not be worth it.
This collection point had been opened for a total of six days. The time limit of the Immortal Court was fifteen days. If there were still immortal sects that did not pay their dues in fifteen days, then the people at the collection point would remember their names and leave directly. During this period, there would be people who came to collect the dues. Of course, there would only be three chances.
Su Yun sent people to stare around, quietly waiting for nine days. The people from Immortal Sect left immediately after paying for the supplies and returned to the sect. Su Yun continued to stare at them. However, in the process of paying, there were many things that made him disgusted.
How much resources should the Immortal Sect pay, It wasn"t decided by the Immortal Sect, but decided by the Immortal Court, As for how to decide, It is said that the Immortal Court deduced this from its previous a.s.sessment of the overall strength of the various Immortal Sects, Although there were specialized people who calculated, their calculations were not accurate. Some immortal sects" strength had increased dramatically, while others had retreated because of various reasons. As a result, many problems would arise. For example, the most common problems … Some immortal sects were unable to pay the required materials, causing difficulties for the immortal court people at the collection points.
This was the most common thing that Su Yun had seen in the past few days, and in this Immortal Dimension region, it was estimated that the most miserable person was the people from the "Pu Yi Sect".
There were only ten people from the Pu Yi Sect, The goods were only carried by a skinny Heavenly Horse, The Pu Yi Sect was a small immortal sect, It is said that the people of this Immortal Sect, They rarely partic.i.p.ated in conflicts of interest between immortals, They don"t have a fixed spirit mine, nor do they occupy resources, Therefore, the development of the sect was extremely slow, Almost everyone in the sect cultivated through personal experience and epiphany, Not to mention his strength, Even his own magic treasures were extremely rare, There were actually quite a few immortal sects in the Immortal Dimension, However, if they were to take out supplies, but it was very difficult, In the first hundred years, The Pu Yi Sect also had a rare Heart Yang Mine to support it. enough to cover the expenses of the sect, However, this Heart Yang Mine was extremely small and could not last long. Fifty years ago, the Heart Yang Mine had already been depleted. However, the Immortal Court did not know about it, nor did they send anyone to investigate it. This time, they had requested the Puyi Sect to donate the reserves of the 300-year-old Heart Yang Mine. Not to mention the fact that the Heart Yang Mine had already been mined out, even without it, the Puyi Sect would not be able to take so many things.
When the team of the Pu Yi Sect was examined by the people of the Immortal Court, the expression on their faces was extremely strange. Su Yun stared at the team, and his gaze would occasionally look towards the people of the Immortal Court who were in charge of the examination, but his expression changed from disdain to disgust and anger.
"Where"s the Heart Yang Mine? Why is it only this small?"
The people from the Immortal Court shouted in such a loud voice, and fiercely threw a small bag in their hands downwards. The bag continued to fall until it fell onto a thick cloud below.
Many immortals saw this scene from afar, but no one spoke.
The expressions of the people from the Pu Yi Sect varied, but everyone remained silent. Only the person in charge at the front cupped his fists and bowed respectfully, saying, "Sir, unless we are unwilling to pay, the entrance is really empty. Our Pu Yi Sect"s only Heart Yang Mine was already emptied fifty years ago. There really isn"t any more Heart Yang Mine left. This is all of it, Sir."
"Cai Kong? Why haven"t I heard you say it before? You only said it when our Immortal Court was collecting resources? Stop lying!" The people from the Immortal Court didn"t believe it.
The man bitterly said, "My lord, the Heart Yang Mine is exhausted. Every year, we pay tribute to the Immortal Court."
However, it was useless. The person in charge of the Immortal Court pointed at the person in charge of the Pu Yi Sect and shouted, "There are still four days left before the end of the collection. I"ll give you two another chance to go back and collect the specified amount of materials immediately. If you can"t collect all the materials for me, then your Pu Yi Sect will be finished!"
"Your Excellency … the amount is simply too large. There"s nothing we can do about it."
The man shook his head.
"There"s nothing you can do? Does that mean you can"t do it?"
"This …"
"Very good!" Your Immortal Court member sneered and waved his hand and shouted, "Come on, tie them all up, send them back to the Immortal Court, send them to prison, and wait for the people from the Pu Yi Sect to redeem them with resources!"
"Ah? My lord… this… this…"
"Sir, we really can"t take it out. Even if you take us down, the Pu Yi Sect won"t be able to take it out."
"The Pu Yi Sect has always been peaceful. There are few people here. There really aren"t so many supplies…"
The people from the Pu Yi Sect panicked and hurriedly shouted.
However, none of their confused words seemed to reach the ears of the people from the Immortal Court. The people from the Immortal Court frowned, as if they were too lazy to waste any more words. They only waved their hands and retreated. Dozens of Immortals walked out from the nearly 1,000 people from the Immortal Court behind him and surrounded the people from the Universal Sect.
The people of the Pu Yi Sect were close together, but they didn"t dare to resist. They had all been taken down with their unique bracelets and ankles. They were all taken to a specific formation on the right side of the collection point and temporarily imprisoned. In this formation, apart from them, there were nearly a hundred immortals. They were all immortals who had not paid their tribute and were captured according to the rules.
When the other immortals saw this, some were angry and some were scared. However, no matter who it was, they didn"t dare to step forward, much less speak. They just watched as the Immortal Court did all these things that caused the heavens to be angry and the earth to be resentful.
Seeing this scene, Su Yun naturally felt somewhat indignant in his heart. However, he did not have the qualifications to criticize the Immortal Court. The Immortal Court was doing this only for the sake of profit, and the person who was interested was not only the Immortal Court, but also him.
Fifteen days pa.s.sed quickly. Countless such things happened, and the number of imprisoned immortals quickly broke through a hundred.
The people of the Immortal Court recorded the names of the remaining sects that had not yet paid their tributes. They no longer sent people to urge them. They directly packed up their things, gathered their supplies, and escorted the immortals on their way back to the Immortal Court.
Seeing this scene, Su Yun immediately waved his hand, indicating that all the people who were hiding were ready to follow.
The time is ripe. The date for the collection points to withdraw and return to the Immortal Court is today and tomorrow. I believe there will be a good show in these two days.
