I can bless thousands of magical powers.

Although the Daoying auction lasted only one day, its impact lasted for a long time inside and outside Xiyuan.

It is talked about by countless people.

What everyone was most curious about was how much money Daoying had earned by auctioning off the stolen goods.

The answer can be estimated by any wealthy businessman who participates in the auction. It is no secret.

Then everyone knew.

Ordinary people would be amazed at the magnitude of this wealth, but the powerful people in Xiyuan City understood that the Daoying, which controlled a channel to make money, would never, ever be subject to any control from the Daoya.

In the dispute between the Taoist officials and the Taoist generals, it is clear that the latter has the upper hand at the moment.

What surprised many people was that almost two months had passed and Fei Hongming had remained idle. Apart from not allocating military funds to the Daoying, he had not taken any other targeted actions.

It seemed as if he tacitly approved of Zhang Yuan’s “arrogance and domineering”.

In fact, only a few people knew that this Taoist official who had been in charge of Xiyuan for ten years did not swallow his anger, but was just waiting for the right opportunity.

As soon as the opportunity came, Fei Hongming took action immediately and soon got the result.

"Brother Mu, are you all right?"

In the Songhe Hall of the Taoist yamen, Fei Hongming bowed respectfully to a Taoist in white clothes and said, "Master, how are you?"

This Taoist in white looks to be around thirty years old.

But there was a sense of vicissitudes in his eyes that was inconsistent with his appearance.

He held a whisk in his hand, looking like an immortal, and bowed his head in return, saying, "Junior Brother Fei, everything is going well for our sect."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the Taoist in white sat opposite Fei Hongming.

Fei Hongming couldn't help but ask, "Brother, did the master receive my letter?"

"Yes."

The Taoist in white smiled and said, "Master already knows what's going on in Xiyuan."

Fei Hongming suddenly perked up: "What does Master say?"

The Taoist in white put away his smile, then pulled out a bamboo ruler from his sleeve and held it in his hand.

This ruler is not a magic weapon. Apart from the fact that the outer layer is covered with patina and is very old, there is nothing special about it.

It can be seen that when Fei Hongming saw the bamboo ruler, his face changed drastically, and he even showed a hint of fear.

Because this ruler awakened his painful memories of the past!
Fei Hongming also understood his master's response.

He couldn't help but laugh bitterly and said, "Brother, I have guarded Xiyuan for ten years. Although I haven't made any great achievements, I have always been diligent and conscientious. Even if I have no achievements, I have worked hard!"

This Taoist official never dreamed that after asking his master for help, he not only did not get help, but was punished instead. The frustration and pain in his heart really cannot be described in words.

The Taoist in white said calmly, "Junior Brother Fei, you have been filial to our Master all these years, and our Master has seen it all, so he doesn't want you to make the same mistake again and again, and make an irreparable mistake!"

Fei Hongming was not an ordinary person after all, so he quickly calmed down: "Is it the Mo family?"

The only answer he could think of was that the Mo family behind Zhang Yuan was putting pressure on his master.

"It has nothing to do with the Mo family."

The Taoist in white sighed and said, "It's mainly because you underestimated Zhang Yuan."

After a pause, he continued, "Just three days ago, Zhang Yuan handed over a tribute of one million taels of silver to the sect through the Mo family, and also sent a report letter. Do you know what was written in it?"

One million taels of silver!
Job report letter!!

Fei Hongming suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.

He knew that Zhang Yuan was training troops and making money by suppressing bandits, and he also knew that the auction a few days ago brought the Daoying an astonishing income of millions of silver. Fei Hongming used this to sue the sect, wanting to charge Zhang Yuan with the crime of wreaking havoc in the local area and levying heavy taxes.

But Fei Hongming never expected that Zhang Yuan actually handed over one million taels of silver as an offering to the sect.

His scalp felt like it was exploding.

You have to know that Fei Hongming himself has been in charge of Xiyuan for nearly ten years, and the total amount of silver he has donated to the sect did not exceed this amount.

After all, he needed resources for cultivation, and he also had to support his family and pave the way for his children...

How long has Zhang Yuan been the general of Xiyuan Province?
This action directly nailed Fei Hongming to the pillar of shame!

Is Shang Jingtian short of a million taels of silver in offering?
The answer is obviously no.

The sect's profound heritage is unimaginable to ordinary people.

But Zhang Yuan’s approach will definitely be rewarded and appreciated by the upper echelons!

Fei Hongming's complaint became a joke.

Moreover, Zhang Yuan also submitted a performance report, so it was impossible for him to say anything good about Fei Hongming.

"Brother Fei, do you understand now?"

The Taoist in white stared at Fei Hongming and said, "You have disappointed our Master."

These words hit Fei Hongming's heart like a heavy hammer, making his expression turn gloomy.

Without the support of his master, it would be impossible for him to continue sitting in the position of Xiyuan Daoguan.

After a long while, Fei Hongming finally said with difficulty: "I was wrong. I will accept the punishment from Master."

He lowered his head dejectedly.

The Taoist in white shook his head and put away the ruler: "Junior brother, you are right to want to defeat Zhang Yuan, but you shouldn't underestimate the enemy and give him your leverage."

"Master has secured the last chance for you, so make the most of it."

"Remember, there won't be a next time!"

Fei Hongming immediately bowed his head and said, "Disciple understands. Disciple will remember Master's teachings!"

When the Taoist priest raised his head again, he found that the Taoist priest in white who was sitting opposite him had disappeared.

He sat there for a long time, his expression changing constantly.

Eventually became deep and cold!
At the same time, Zhang Yuan met Jagade again in the White Tiger Hall for his second visit.

The great merchant of the Tuda tribe respectfully presented a golden box.

Zhang Yuan curiously opened it and saw a thick stack of gold notes inside. He couldn't help but wonder: "What is this?"

Jagad smiled and said, "Sir, this is the money you entrusted me to sell the leftover goods, a total of 25,000 taels of gold, all converted into gold notes, please count them."

Zhang Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Those goods are for you."

Not to mention how much effort the other party put in at the auction, just that gem containing the power of Qianyang is priceless to him, and he should reward this big businessman.

Besides, those leftover goods are not worth so much gold!

"No reward for no merit."

Jagad shook his head and said, "Sir, I just have something that I would like to ask for your help."

Zhang Yuan understood that this was what the other party really wanted!
He said calmly, "You say."

Jagad stood up, his eyes showing a hint of sharpness: "Sir, do you know the Crazy Sand Army?" (End of this chapter)
