BXBX NOVEL Chapter 4531 4529-True Motive
"F * ck, F * ck the humans! Blood for blood!"
"That's right, let the humans pay the price. We, the spirit beasts, can't be cowards!"
"Kill! Kill! ..." All the spirit beasts in the area suddenly burst out with a shocking murderous aura. Even the sky was affected by it. The originally clear sky was now covered with dark clouds, with lightning and thunder.
The deliberate instigation had completely aroused the monstrous anger of all the spirit beasts present. Any powerful spirit beast was arrogant and unruly. In their eyes, human cultivators were just food. Now that they suddenly realized that their dignified spirit beast clan had been bullied by humans to this extent, how could they continue to compromise?
"Everyone, be quiet." Seeing that the effect had been achieved, the Azure Dragon once again gestured for the spirit beasts to quiet down. He said in a deep voice,"The price of starting a war is too great. We can't do this unless it's the last resort. However, according to the king's decree, even if we don't start a war with the shameless humans, we must at least control our own territory. The South continent belongs to us, and we won't allow the humans to come and go as they please!"
Lin Yi and the damn thing were both shocked. From the Green Dragon's tone, could it be that he wanted to expel all the humans in the nearby South continent sea, or even kill them all?
If that was the case, although it was not as serious as a full-scale war, it was definitely not a small matter. If something went wrong in the process, it could very likely escalate to an irredeemable stage.
The two of them were secretly shocked, but the powerful spirit beasts present did not have such concerns. Except for a few more cautious individuals, most of them were warmongers who could not wait to start a full-scale war. If the higher-ups said that they wanted to exterminate the humans in the South continent's sea, they would definitely support them with both hands and feet.
"So, in accordance with Your Majesty's decree, elder Vermilion Bird and I have discussed and decided that we will send a city Lord and an administrative department to all the main cities in the South continent's waters. They will be responsible for collecting taxes in the South continent's waters. From now on, all human cultivators who come to the South continent to travel must pay taxes to our spirit beast clan!" Azure Dragon seized the opportunity and announced in a clear voice.
Paying taxes? Lin Yi and the damn thing froze at the same time, a strange look on their faces. So this was Vermilion bird's plan-they weren't starting a war with this new Azure Dragon, but were using this name to make a fortune ...
"The moleng Sea region is the most prosperous and stable Sea region in the South continent Sea region. It's also relatively close to our Anluo cultivation city. Therefore, after a discussion between elder Vermilion Bird and I, we've decided to hand over the most profitable Sea region to the spirit beast Brothers present. The king needs you to maintain law and order and collect taxes on his behalf. Are you willing?" The Azure Dragon encouraged him.
"I'm willing!" The group of spirit beasts immediately responded in unison, all of them dancing in joy and excitement.""My King is wise. These shameless humans should have paid tribute to my King Long ago. We are willing to serve my King and guarantee that we will complete our mission ..."
Although the human sects were powerful, all the human cultivators in the South continent's sea were no match for the spirit beast clan. They could easily dispatch a few powerful spirit beasts and suppress all the human cultivators in the South continent's sea. There was no doubt about it.
Therefore, as long as the order was given, the fate of the human cultivators in the South continent's Sea area was already doomed. They had no power to resist the behemoth spirit beast clan. If anyone disobeyed, they would be crushed to pieces.
To the spirit beast clan, this was simply a business without capital. It was a naturally fat piece of meat hanging in front of them. As long as the higher-ups gave the order, they could swallow it at any time.
The Azure Dragon and the Vermilion Bird exchanged a smile as they listened to the commotion. This was a plan that they had long since planned. The collection of taxes was only the first step of their plan, and from the reactions of the crowd, this crucial first step had clearly succeeded.
"Just as I expected, the Vermillion Bird is an ambitious fellow who doesn't know his place. He has just taken control of the spirit beast clan, and he's already starting to amass wealth. This bastard is too greedy. If he continues to act so recklessly, I'm afraid the spirit beast clan will be doomed. Sigh ..." The demonic thing sighed helplessly.
Lin Yi nodded in agreement. Collecting taxes from human practitioners in the South continent sea sounded reasonable and reasonable.
Because the South continent's Sea area was affiliated with the South Island, it was indeed the territory of the spirit beast clan in theory. Even renting a house had to pay rent, let alone so many human cultivators living in the South continent's Sea area.
However, the problem was that the human cultivators had not just come to the South continent sea in the past one or two years. They had been stationed here for thousands of years. Their understanding and recognition of the South continent sea were only higher than that of the spirit beast clan. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were the Masters of the South continent sea.
For thousands of years, although the human cultivators in the South continent's waters and the spirit beast clan in the South Island's territory were only a stone's throw away, they had always lived in peace with each other. But now, this rule was broken because of the Vermillion bird's selfishness. How could so many human cultivators in the South continent's waters accept this?
As the saying goes,'every man for himself', many people would even kill their own brothers for something as insignificant as a spiritual Jade. No one would ever hand over the spiritual Jade in their hands! Even if a human sect came to impose tax, it was impossible for the South continent's sea to remain calm, let alone the opposing spirit beast clan ...
Once the tax was suddenly imposed, it was foreseeable that a fierce battle would be inevitable. Even if these human cultivators in the South continent sea were not the opponents of the spirit beast clan, if it came to the point where there was no way to retreat, some people would inevitably rise up.
The overwhelming strength of the spirit beast clan was more than enough to crush these human cultivators in the South continent's Sea area!
It was just that he didn't know if the Vermillion Bird and Azure Dragon had ever thought that a single spark could set a Prairie on fire (once this kind of thing started burning in the South continent's waters, it would be impossible to exterminate it in the South continent's waters (in the end (it would inevitably involve the human cultivators of the other Sky Class islands ...
