Spirit Emperor - C91

With Le Heng leading the way, the journey was rather smooth. This really broadened the horizons of Lee Xun and the others. Although Tianshan Sword Sect was like a pillar supporting the heavens, it was not so exaggerated, and of course, this was also related to the Tianshan Sword Sect itself. Tianshan Sword Sect never had the thought of developing outwards, it was just that in the traditional sense of the word, the only special thing was to guarantee the safety of Tianshan Country. However, the Dongting Sword Sect were different. They were like the overlords of the eastern regions, surpassing all the countries in the eastern region. According to Le Heng, every year, the countries of the east would pay tribute to the Dongting Sword Sect according to the income of their own treasury, which would normally be one-tenth of the way. Once they found out, the current emperor would be the one to the end, those who were unconvinced would even be exterminated, and there would be many countries fighting to send troops to help Dongting Sword Sect s to “fight for justice”. One could imagine what exactly this super Sword Sect meant.

It was precisely because the development of the Dongting Sword Sect was getting bigger and bigger, that Le Heng was honest and said it. There were a lot of problems inside the Sword Sect and the wind of decay was gradually spreading. However, because the area that the Dongting Sword Sect controlled was vast, the resources that he received over the years were also very large. These resources mainly referred to talented people, spirit medicines, treasures, so the number of experts that were produced was also many, almost every year there was a powerhouse of the twelfth step, and every five years there would be a powerhouse of the Human Rank. Among these people, those that had not made any progress for twenty years would be allocated to the various countries in the east to scare them, so of course he could make his own application. But just from the number of Human Rank experts that were born, one could tell that the background of the Dongting Sword Sect was very deep. No wonder the Dongting Sword Sect could control such a large region.

Other than the various nations having to pay tribute to the Dongting Sword Sect every year, the other Sword Sect that one wished to establish a foothold in the east had to also pay tribute to the Dongting Sword Sect. The minimum standard was ten thousand purple gold coins every three years, it would not even reach the top. This objectively restricted the development of these Sword Sect, so the various Sword Sect in the east did not dare to say anything, but when people were under the roof, they had no choice but to lower their heads. Every three years, when the days of the various Sword Sect s paid tribute, there would be a tournament that every Sword Sect in the east would have to participate in. In other words, it was a martial competition. Every Sword Sect could be sent to participate in the competition, and the age limit was twenty-five years old, with no limit to the number of people. Under the elimination system, those who could obtain the top three places would be respectively granted a 50% reduction in the amount of tribute required for their own Sword Sect, or 30%, or 20%, and the top three people who could still challenge the disciples that had been selected for the Dongting Sword Sect. This kind of action that seemed to be very beneficial for all kinds of Sword Sect, was actually filled with mystery, because it would often lead to enmity between two Sword Sect s, because some Sword Sect that had a better development would require more than one hundred thousand purple gold coins to be paid in three years, and if one obtained first place, it would be reduced by fifty thousand or even more. The disciples had to put in all their effort, and many of the deaths and injuries were inevitable.

Regarding all of this, Le Heng had privately conversed with Lee Xun, and although Lee Xun could hear that, although Le Heng was very emotional about Dongting Sword Sect, he was also very dissatisfied with it. He had taken the initiative to request to be sent outside to take a breath of fresh air, and Le Heng had never been able to find anyone to express his displeasure.

After more than twenty days of travel, they finally arrived at the largest city on the outskirts of the Dongting Sword Sect, Jiang Du city.

River Capital was located on the west side of the Dongting Sword Sect and faced the river. It did not belong to any country, but to any other country. With a population of around four million, it could be considered a relatively prosperous city. The biggest business in the city came from shipping, and all ships heading from west to east would have to change their Dongting Sword Sect here, thus the city became a large transfer station. The reason why they had to change ships here was because half a day’s journey to the east would be the Dong Ting Island, while the Dongting Sword Sect was built on the Dong Ting Island. For safety reasons, every place that was half a day’s journey away from the Dong Ting Island would have to be changed to a ship of the Dongting Sword Sect.

After entering the Jiang Capital, Lee Xun realized that the city was bustling with noise and excitement, even more so than the Magazine City. Under Le Heng’s lead, Lee Xun and the others arrived at the branch hall set up here by the Dongting Sword Sect. However, unlike other places, when he passed by those branch halls, as long as Le Heng showed his identity card, the people there would all fart and provide all kinds of treatment for Le Heng. But at this point, after Le Heng revealed his identity card, he was sent to check if it was real and to verify Le Heng’s identity.

But after checking that there were no mistakes, a fatty who was around Le Heng’s age walked out and laughed: “Junior Brother Le Heng, you must have waited a long time, but these are all rules of the Sword Sect, I believe you understand as well.” As the fatty spoke, his eyes were focused on Qin Qing, who was covered by a mask, causing Lee Xun to feel somewhat upset.

“Senior Chang Gui, these are my friends who want to tour around Sword Sect with me. I also ask that you help me arrange a boat as soon as possible. I thank you senior brother.”

“Aiya, Junior Brother Le Heng, this is a bit troublesome, you should know that in a few days time the Sword Sect will pay tribute, they would start to come here to reserve a ship a few days ago, ah, I have already made all the arrangements, if you want to board the ship, you have to wait until the evening of the day after tomorrow at the fastest.”

Hearing Chang Gui’s words, Le Heng walked forward and took out some gold notes, and stuffed it into Chang Gui’s hands, then laughed: “Senior Brother, I know that you have worked hard for the Sword Sect, and this is just a small matter, I’ll have to trouble you to help us arrange it. This little brother has not returned to Sword Sect for over a year, I am really worried about him, please forgive me, Senior Brother. ”

Chang Gui did not hold back and kept the gold notes, saying, “Junior Brother, you are acting like a foreigner. Since you want to return home, let me think. Oh right, in three hours, there will be a boat that will be sending Jade Immortals Sword Sect over. You also know that the Jade Immortals Sword Sect s are all women, and they request that they do not wish to be on the same boat as the other Sword Sect s. This is the token from the ship today. It’s two o’clock, don’t forget. ” With that, Chang Gui glanced at Qin Qing a few more times, then laughed and turned to leave.

After Chang Gui left, Le Heng shook his head and sighed, “Hey, Brother Lee Xun, don’t take offense. One of Chang Gui’s seniors was currently a Class 1 Elder in the clan, so he had managed to get this benefit. He is so rich and lecherous, even the disciples of our sect have to pay a few hundred gold coins to bribe him to arrange for a ship.

“Brother Le Heng, this has nothing to do with you, you don’t need to be concerned about it.”

“Sigh, forget it. Let me take you to have a meal, the whole fish feast of Jiang Wang Jiang Lou in Jiang Cheng is very famous, and you guys don’t even want to leave after eating. ”

Hearing Le Heng’s words, the happiest person was Little Zixing, constantly clapping his hands. had gotten along well with Le Heng. Although Le Heng could tell that Zixing was definitely not a simple person from the way Lee Xun and the others doted on him, especially her astonishing appetite, she still did not know that Zixing was actually a Spiritual Beast of the twelfth stage, formed from a top quality Spiritual Beast.
