After the destruction of the Immortal Realm, I took in the fallen fairy.

Chapter 230 The Jiali Bull Tribe and the Ando Sheep Tribe

In fact, Tian Qianchen's thoughts were not hard to guess, and he didn't even try to hide them.

Since the General Administration sent an elder to handle matters, he would naturally have to deal with Lin Heng.

Both sides traveled thousands of miles to the Western Regions for their own needs.

However, there are many examples of people who, while interacting and fighting, suddenly start fighting each other for their own interests.

If such a situation were to actually occur, the one who would look bad would undoubtedly be Tian Qianchen, who is also an elder of the General Administration Division.

Therefore, in order to avoid such a thing from happening, Tian Qianchen had no choice but to act as the middleman himself.

However, Lin Heng did not feel that there was any conflict of interest between him and the General Administration.

After all, he had already learned from Tao Hongzhou that the capital and the General Administration's objective was the Zaxi Pass right beneath his feet.

Lin Heng's target, however, is Yunma Snow Mountain, which contains the next divine artifact in the Chaos Demon Lord's notes.

So, with Tian Qianchen by his side, Lin Heng and his group headed towards the entrance of the Cloud Oasis before it got completely dark.

"Lord Lin Heng."

At the entrance, Pema Metok was talking to a sergeant who had come up from the Tashi Pass.

Seeing Lin Heng and the others arrive, Baima Meiduo quickly asked Lin Heng, "Are you going down now to check out the Zhaxi Pass?"

Lin Heng said calmly, "Let's just wander around for now."

Baima Meiduo nodded slowly: "I'm sorry, Lord Linheng, I'm currently showing the officers at the Zhaxi Pass the procedures for taking over the territory, so I'm afraid I can't go down with you right now... But don't worry, I wrote to Dorje a few days ago, and he will bring people to welcome Lord Linheng."

"Okay, you go ahead and do your thing."

After Lin Heng signaled Bai Ma Meiduo to continue handling the affairs of her Sand Fox family, he led his people down the vine-covered corridor.

As the long corridor descends, the scenery of Zaxi Pass gradually comes into view.

While the sky was still dimly lit, this was a vast plain.

There are oases on the plains, and also lifeless deserts.

At the foot of the oasis in the clouds, at the Zaxi Pass, there is a vast oasis covered with many flower tents.

Lin Heng remembered that Gesang Nazha had mentioned that such flower tents were called "Zhamei" in the Western Regions, and were a symbol of wealthy families in the Western Regions.

However, looking further into the distance, the boundary between this oasis at Zaxi Pass and the distant desert appears quite abrupt.

What was once a perfectly good grassland has suddenly turned into barren soil and covered with deathly dust.

It's like Xia Feng, who was playing cosplay with his immortal servants at home one second, suddenly suffered from altitude sickness in the Western Regions and became instantly listless...

"Master, this oasis is actually the work of a deity descended by the Five Source Immortal Venerable."

At this moment, Gesang Nazha noticed that Lin Heng was observing the environment and terrain below, so she took the initiative to provide an answer in Lin Heng's mind.

"That's why Mother was able to successfully apply for the territory at Zaxi Pass. But before our original territory was destroyed by the demon tide, I remember that this place was managed by the demons of the Jiali Niu tribe."

"The reason I warned my master to be careful before was because the demons of the Jiali Bull Clan once wanted to buy the fox spirit of our Sand Fox Clan, but my mother refused. The chief of the Jiali Bull Clan immediately cut off many of our businesses until our Sand Fox Clan migrated..."

Lin Heng nodded slowly.

Just as everyone was about to descend from the cloud oasis, Gesang Nazha suddenly paused for a moment.

Because below the oasis in the clouds, more than a dozen demons had already gathered, including the Jiali Bull Clan that she had just mentioned to Lin Heng.

"Master, that's the Jiali Bull Clan I mentioned to you earlier, but it's not just them..."

Gesang Nazha frowned and said in a deep voice.

Lin Heng also realized that the demons below were not only bull demons, so he asked Gesang Nazha, "Then what is the background of the sheep demons mixed among these old bulls?"

"They are the Ando sheep tribe."

Gesang Naza said in a deep voice, "No wonder we didn't see Xiannu at Zaxi Pass along the way. It turns out that the Ando sheep tribe and the Jiali cattle tribe have mixed together..."

"Hey! You out-of-towners upstairs, get down here right now!"

Suddenly, the cows, sheep, and demons below started shouting at Lin Heng and the others.

Just by listening to their tone, you could tell that these demons weren't very friendly.

However, after descending the vine-covered corridor, Lin Heng accurately located a sheep demon and a bull demon who appeared to be the two minor leaders, and then revealed his signature smile: "Brothers demons, what brings you here?"

The demon from the Jiali Ox tribe arrogantly snorted, "Hmph, outsiders coming to our Zhaxi Pass need to pay taxes, you know that? Let's see how many spirit stones you have to pay..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Heng was both amused and exasperated.

Although he learned from Gesang Naza that the Zaxi Pass was in a state of chaos.

Unexpectedly, the place was so chaotic that as soon as we entered the territory, people were clamoring for spirit stones!

Back when they were in the slums of Linxian City, Chi Hu came to collect Ancheng tax on behalf of the city lord's mansion, but at least he did so under the guise of maintaining order in the slums.

But the heretics here don't even have a slightly decent reason?

"Hey, Brother Niu, wait a minute."

At this moment, the Ando sheep demon next to him noticed the fox tail on Lin Heng's neck, and then followed the tail to look at Gesang Nazha who was standing next to him.

"Did you see that? That kid has a fox spirit with him, and a top-quality nine-tailed one at that!"

The sheep demon made no attempt to hide the greed in his eyes.

Especially striking are the lines around Gesang Nazha's waist and abdomen above her colorful dress, coupled with her aloof expression yet the contrast of her proactively handing her tail to the human mortal beside her...

It's absolutely the best of the best!

It is said that the fox spirits in the Sand Fox family have an extraordinary taste, and now that I have seen their true appearance, it is indeed mouthwatering.

Then the sheep demon said meaningfully to the Jiali bull demon beside him, "Brother Bull, I remember that your Jiali bull clan's ancestor once had the opportunity to taste the fox spirit, but after your clan leader proposed a trade, it seems that the Sand Fox clan refused?"

Yes, that's true.

Jiali the Bull Demon nodded slightly.

"How about this?"

The sheep demon narrowed its eyes slightly and said in a low voice, "We'll forgo the tax. How about we help our ancestor taste the fox spirit?"

"you mean?"

The bull demon raised an eyebrow.

"That's right."

The sheep demon looked at Gesang Nazha and smiled slightly, "Look at that fox fairy, don't you feel envious, Brother Ox?"

"Alright!"

The bull demon nodded heavily, then said to Lin Heng, "Hey kid! You don't need to pay taxes, but we have other requirements."

"Oh?"

Lin Heng maintained his smile: "Brother demon, what are your requests?"
