Elder Yu remained silent. Elder Shen collected most of the items from those spatial bags into the large spatial bag, then tossed it to Elder Yu and said, "Take these to the sect's warehouse and have them put them in the accounts. I'll use the rest to bribe the higher-ups. You'll get a portion of the rest. Go."

Elder Yu responded and then took the large spatial bag. However, he did not leave, but instead said to Elder Shen, "Hall Master, what should we do about the Dao Yi Sect? The people from the Dao Yi Sect who came to deliver tribute are still waiting for me there."

Elder Shen thought for a moment, then said, "They have already sent their tribute, so of course we can't make things difficult for them anymore. Go and tell him that we won't blame them for this, and that this matter is over. Let him go back in peace. But when he gets back, tell his sect leader that the amount of tribute they send each year will be increased by 10%."

Elder Yu responded, and Elder Shen waved his hand. Elder Yu bowed to him, then turned and left. After Elder Yu left, Elder Shen murmured, "I didn't expect him to be so sensible." He then stood up. Although he looked fat, he didn't seem to have much trouble standing up. He then walked outside, as he had to report this matter.

Meanwhile, Elder Yu had already returned to his room. When he arrived, he saw Qingbo sitting there obediently with a cup of tea in front of him, which he had already drunk half of.

Upon seeing Elder Yu return, Qingbo immediately stood up. Elder Yu greeted him with a smile, saying, "Elder Qingbo, please don't stand on ceremony, have a seat."

Qingbo responded and sat down. Elder Yu also took his seat and then looked at Qingbo, saying, "The Hall Master said that this matter is over, but starting tomorrow, the tribute you offer will be increased by 10%. What do you think? Any problems?"

Qingbo quickly replied, "No problem, Elder Yu, please rest assured that we will deliver the supplies on time."

Elder Yu nodded and said, "Alright, then you can go back now." Qingbo responded, stood up, bowed to Elder Yu, then turned and walked out. Soon he returned to the teleportation array, sat down, and left.

Meanwhile, Elder Shen, carrying the supplies, arrived at a courtyard on the third floor. There were two courtyards in front of this courtyard. Elder Shen clasped his hands in a fist salute to the two disciples and said, "Please announce that Shen Xing requests an audience."

The two disciples responded and bowed to him. Then one of the disciples walked into the courtyard and came out a moment later. He said to Shen Xing, "Elder Shen, please. The hall master is waiting for you in the study."

Shen Xing responded and then walked into the courtyard. Although Elder Yu addressed Shen Xing as the Hall Master, Shen Xing was not actually the Hall Master. He was the Deputy Hall Master. The person he was meeting today was the Hall Master of the Feudal Hall. They were specifically responsible for the affairs of the various feudal clans. Because the Hall Master was powerful and held a high position, he usually didn't manage affairs much. The affairs were generally handled by people like Shen Xing.

Shen Xing arrived at the study quickly. He stood in front of the door, knocked twice gently, and then said, "Shen Xing requests an audience."

A deep voice came and said, "Come in." Shen Xing responded and then pushed open the door and went in.

This is a small study, and there aren't many things in it. There's a bookshelf with some books on it, and several walls covered with various kinds of calligraphy. Judging from the signatures, all the calligraphy is from the same person, and the person's personal seal reads "Iron Pen Old Man".

This Iron-Pen Elder is Yan Yu, the head of the Feudal Hall. Right now, Yan Yu is standing behind his desk, holding a large brush and writing. He is writing very seriously, and Shen Xing, seeing this, did not dare to make a sound. He just stood there obediently. He knew very well that Yan Yu disliked being disturbed when he was writing, so he could only stand there obediently.

A moment later, Yan Yu put down his pen, glanced at his writing, nodded in satisfaction, then looked up at Shen Xing and asked, "What is it?"

Shen Xing hurriedly replied, "Reporting to the Hall Master, the people from the Yidao Sect of the Meteorite Domain have sent today's tribute. They previously said that someone was attacking them and asked the sect for help. As usual, I made them wait for a month, but before the time was up, they said that the matter had been resolved. This time, they came to deliver supplies, which also means that they have resolved the matter. Moreover, they also sent 20% more supplies. I have already instructed my subordinates to put all the sect's supplies into storage. This is the extra 20%. Please take a look, Hall Master."

Yan Yu nodded, and with a flick of his wrist, the spatial bag Shen Xing had produced was in his hand. He scanned the bag with his spiritual power and saw the supplies inside. Then he nodded and said, "Well done. We originally planned to send someone to take over the affairs of the Yi Dao Sect, but it seems that won't work now. Perfect, take half of the supplies they sent and give them to that family as compensation. You can keep the rest." After Yan Yu finished speaking, he tossed the spatial bag to Shen Xing. Shen Xing responded and then continued, "I've already spoken to the people of the Yi Dao Sect. Starting next year, their annual tribute will increase by 10%."

Yan Yu nodded after hearing Shen Xing's words and said, "Good, well done. Go and make the arrangements." Shen Xing responded, then took the spatial bag and turned to leave.

After he left, Yan Yu picked up the words she had written on the desk and looked at them carefully, her expression becoming more and more satisfied.

Meanwhile, Shen Xing had already left the Yan residence and returned to his office. He then instructed his subordinates to get things done. First, they delivered the compensation supplies to the family. After that, he began distributing the remaining supplies. In matters like this, the entire vassal hall would share the spoils. He, Elder Yu, and the hall master would receive a larger share. The hall master's higher status meant he deserved a larger share, and he and Elder Yu, as the handlers, would also receive a larger share. Others would receive much less. This was the rule; regardless of the amount, everyone had to get a share. This was how others handled such matters.

With that, the matter was considered closed. For the Nine Yang Immortal Palace, it was just a minor issue. Such matters would never be brought up to the sect leader, because to the sect leader of the Nine Yang Immortal Palace, it was far too trivial to be handled by subordinates.

Meanwhile, Qingbo had returned to the Yidao Sect. As soon as he arrived, he went to find Qingxuan, who was already waiting for him. Upon seeing him return, Qingxuan immediately asked, "How did it go?" He was actually quite worried about this matter. He knew the sect's intentions; the sect didn't want the people from the Nine Yang Immortal Palace to know the true situation here. If things didn't go well, the Nine Yang Immortal Realm might actually come to investigate. Therefore, Qingxuan had been dealing with the Yidao Sect's affairs these past few days, so that if things didn't go well and the Nine Yang Immortal Palace sent people to investigate, they could at least prepare for the situation.

Qingbo knew Qingxuan was anxious, so he didn't keep him in suspense. He nodded and said, "It's settled. The people from the Nine Yang Immortal Palace said that this matter is over, but they require that the tribute materials for next year be increased by 10%."

Upon hearing this, Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief. Then, when Qingbo mentioned that the tribute would be increased by 10%, he burst into laughter, saying, "An increase of 10% is nothing to us. As long as they don't send anyone, there won't be any problems. Go back and rest. I need to report this matter to Elder Wen immediately."

Qingbo responded, then bowed to Qingxuan before turning and leaving. After Qingbo left, Qingxuan immediately called Wen Wenhai. Wen Wenhai answered the phone quickly, and as soon as the call connected, Qingxuan bowed to him and said, "Greetings, Elder Wen." His strength was inferior to Wen Wenhai's, but he now understood the Blood Slaughter Sect very well. Precisely because he understood the Blood Slaughter Sect, he was very clear about Wen Wenhai's status, and he dared not be disrespectful to Wen Wenhai.

Wen Wenhai smiled and said, "Elder Qingxuan, there's no need to be so polite. What can I do for you?"

Qingxuan immediately replied, "In response to Elder Wen, it concerns the Nine Yang Immortal Palace. We have already sent the tribute to the Nine Yang Immortal Palace, and the people there have said that the matter is considered closed. However, they have requested that we send them 10% more tribute next year."

Wen Wenhai nodded and said with a smile, "Good, well done. You deserve credit for this. The sect has just taken over the Meteorite Domain and needs time to digest it. At this time, not letting those people know the true situation here is the best choice. You did a good job. In the next period of time, the sect will carry out a transformation of the entire Meteorite Domain. You should also be mentally prepared and cooperate well with the sect. Do you understand?"

Qingxuan quickly replied, "Yes, Elder Wen. Please rest assured, Elder Wen, we will cooperate fully."

Wen Wenhai nodded, and then he said, "Now, some other sects and families have also dealt with the people behind them. It seems that things are going very smoothly. It's because the Meteorite Domain is too remote that those people don't have any interest in it, which is why this situation has occurred. We should make good use of this time to properly digest the Meteorite Domain."

Qingxuan nodded. Wen Wenhai looked at Qingxuan and then smiled and said, "You can enter the sect in batches to study. Even when you are doing missions outside, don't forget to study. As long as you don't neglect your duties, it's fine."

Qingxuan responded again, and Wen Wenhai nodded and said, "Okay, that's settled then. If anything happens on your end, let me know immediately." Qingxuan agreed, and Wen Wenhai then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Qingxuan let out a long sigh of relief. To be honest, he felt that everything had become much easier since joining the Blood Slaughter Sect. With the sect supporting him, he felt more confident and relaxed. (End of Chapter)
