Zhutian: Starting from being forced to bind

"Learning literary and martial arts and selling them to the imperial family, do you think those so-called masters in the martial arts world are really masters?" Chen Xi said disdainfully: "The real masters may be serving the royal family."

"Ah this..."

"The simplest example is Dongfang Bubai's Sunflower Manual. Do you think the palace is short of eunuchs?"

Kawakami Tomie remained silent.

"Don't get carried away just because you learned some martial arts. We are not invincible." After Chen Xi finished speaking, he looked at the sky helplessly.

In this world, there is still the suppression of the world's will. He couldn't feel it when he first came here. He insisted on exercising every day and obtained +1 in all attributes. After so many years, his four-dimensional attributes have long been unknown. But in fact, when he turned 18 and became an adult, he felt the limitation of the world's will. He could only exert a maximum of 500 points of four-dimensional attribute strength. The martial arts world is ten times more endurable than the regular world.

Chen Xi's current invincible strength is based on the combination of 500 four-dimensional attributes and peerless martial arts. If martial arts are not counted, he is a hundred times stronger than an ordinary person, so he can fight with gold swordsmanship without using internal force.

If he really let go of everything, he would have become a superman long ago.

It is precisely because of this that he did not dare to attack the palace rashly. This is probably why the will of the world restricts him. He can become the strongest in the world, but he can never become a superman.

Chen Xi also realized that different world ceilings determine the tolerance of the world's will. This world and the previous Zanmei world probably have a tolerance of one hundred times, or it can be said that most of the extraordinary worlds are like this. Only extremely strong worlds can withstand a thousand times the four-dimensional attribute. The only thing he can think of is "One Piece". As for the tolerance of ten thousand times, it can only be the world of immortal cultivation or "Dragon Ball".

Nappa, whose combat power is only a few thousand, can destroy a city with a single blow. It can be said that the ceiling of the Dragon Ball world is too high. Even with ten thousand times the attribute points, he may not feel safe, so he doesn't dare to go there.

Now, it is not impossible for him and Kawakami Tomie to kill the emperor, but the effort and reward are not proportional. Even if they kill the emperor, what's the use? He can't become the emperor, and it will make the court crazy. It's not worth it.

The best way to treat the court is actually very simple. Chen Xi said two words: "Pay taxes."

Kawakami Tomie: (?_?)

"Don't always think about fighting and killing, it's so boring. If something can be solved with money, it's not a problem."

“What if we spend money and someone still won’t let us go?”

"Then kill them." Chen Xi said decisively: "Kill those who dare to plot against us as a demonstration, and pay taxes to the court to show goodwill, this is the only way to last long."

"I understand. I will deal with this matter when I return."

"Well, I have to make some arrangements for Huashan Sword Sect as well. We have a lot of businesses now, so we should pay taxes when they are due, and don't let the court find fault with us."

The actions of Huashan Sword Sect and Yihua Palace shocked the entire martial arts world. My goodness, you are such cowards.

Monks were exempt from taxes. Because of this policy, many dynasties resented the preferential treatment given to monks. In many cases, the biggest landlords and powerful people were monks.

Huashan Sword Sect's sudden move has put the other sects in a difficult position. The worst hit is Shaolin Temple, there is nothing they can do about it, as they have the most land.

Before, the Shaolin Temple would have gone to the door to demand an explanation, but now, they don’t dare.

Master Fang Zheng and other elders died at the Black Wood Cliff. There is also Chen Xi in charge of the Huashan Sword Sect. Who would dare to provoke such an existence?

What can Shaolin Temple do?

Just be angry silently.

The most they could do is issue a statement in the martial arts world, strongly condemning the Huashan Sword Sect's behavior, which was too un-martial.

Chen Xi didn't care about all that. He transformed himself from a gangster sect into a large taxpayer who paid taxes according to the law, with the support of the imperial court and formal documents endorsed by the government.

The same goes for Yihua Palace. This force originally belonged to the nature of a chamber of commerce and paid a large amount of taxes, which made the prefect so happy that he could see his back teeth. Such a sophisticated enterprise must be supported!

The court's favorability towards Huashan Sword Sect and Yihua Palace has greatly increased. The previously prepared strategies have also been sent back for revision. We cannot disappoint the taxpayers and instigate a war between the Sun Moon Sect and other forces. Let's change the target to other sects.

It’s not that other martial arts sects don’t want to learn from them, but they can’t afford it. Even though they are wealthy and powerful, their expenses are also huge. How many people do they have to support in their sects?

Huashan Sword Sect is different. The number of people has always been small. Apart from the formal disciples, there are also some servants responsible for cleaning. Moreover, it is a one-man show, and no one dares to oppose Chen Xi's decision.

There are many factions within other sects, and the interests of the sect leaders and elders are intertwined. Whenever a decision is made that is detrimental to each other, there will always be someone who jumps out to oppose it.

It is extremely difficult to get these people to take the money out of their pockets.

Not to mention the Sun and Moon Sect, which has a complex personnel structure, unclear internal industries, a messy account of income and expenditure, and not many healthy industries. They basically rely on plunder to make a living.

Such forces belong to the underworld in the world of martial arts, and in the conventional world, they are the mafia.

Blow!

It must be severely cracked down!

This is also because the situation is unstable. The imperial court cannot take care of the forces under the rule of the outside world. The Tatars and the Oirat are eyeing them covetously from outside, and Prince Ning is ambitious from within. The imperial court's main energy is focused on these.

If they don't have the energy to attack directly, then they will continue with the old method and instigate in various ways. Anyway, people in the martial arts world have bad tempers, and sometimes they have to go to war even though they know it's a misunderstanding. This is related to the reputation of the sect, and the fighting will eventually turn into a real fight.

The first to start the war was the Shaolin Temple. You guys don't want to pay taxes, right? So that's a perfect opportunity, I'll start with you.

The Shaolin Temple and the Sun Moon Sect started a fight.

In the past, it was the Shaolin Temple and the Wudang Sect who instigated from behind and let the Five Mountains Alliance take the lead, and they were waiting to take advantage of the opportunity. Now, they have to take part in the battle themselves.

The Five Mountains Alliance was also in turmoil. To be more precise, the Songshan Sect was about to be destroyed.

Chen Xi is not a magnanimous person and has been causing trouble for me time and time again. Since he dares to provoke me, he must be prepared for destruction, which can be used to establish his authority.

Being strong is not enough to intimidate everyone, it also requires ruthlessness. The Songshan School is like the chicken that scares the monkey.

The people from Huashan Sword Sect did not move. Chen Xi took the people from Yihua Palace to Songshan Sect. Those disciples were there to prevent the people from Songshan Sect from escaping. Only Chen Xi and Kawakami Tomie took action in the early stage.

Zuo Lengchan was leaning on a sword, his body covered in blood, and he was extremely sad and angry. His life's work was destroyed just like that.

"Why?" Zuo Lengchan murmured, "Why does someone like you exist? It shouldn't be like this."

"You sent people to deal with me twice, and I returned you two swords. You led people to deal with Yihua Palace once, and the rest will be settled with you and Fu Jiang." Chen Xi took back the Chixiao Sword and ignored Zuo Lengchan.

Zuo Lengchan died in a blaze of glory and launched a final attack, wanting to take Kawakami Tomie with him. However, his icy Qi was not as good as the Jade Skill, and under the Art of Transferring Flowers and Jade, the Qi was rebounded to himself, and the broadsword in his hand slashed across his neck.

Kawakami Tomie held Zuo Lengchan's head in her hand, freezing the wound to stop the bleeding, which was not disgusting.

"He is a great hero after all." Chen Xi said with regret: "Feed the dog."

other people:"???"

Shouldn't this be a grand funeral?

Chen Xi didn't have the time to dig a grave for Zuo Lengchan, so he simply ordered: "Kill everyone and burn it all down."

The Songshan Sect perished in the raging flames. Fortunately, there was a barrier between the buildings and the forest, so no forest fire occurred. However, the entire sect was completely destroyed, and nothing was left.

Chen Xi brought all the martial arts of Songshan School back to Huashan Sword School. He and Yihua Palace had no use for them, so he kept them as reference books for the people of Huashan Sword School.

The demise of Songshan Sect caused great panic among the other three sects. Thinking of the previous incident of going to Huashan to threaten Yue Buqun, they were annoyed and hurriedly sent people to Huashan Sword Sect, hoping to reconcile.

Yi Lin also came this time, and her identity was finally known to Monk Bujie. In order to support his daughter, Monk Bujie also came, as well as the silly Six Immortals of Taogu.

The Six Immortals of Taogu were crazy and didn't care about time or place. They started making trouble in front of the gate of Huashan Sword Sect. They happened to meet Kawakami Tomie, so there was no need to say anything and they started fighting.

Kawakami Tomie, along with Yaoyue and Lianxing, the three women easily killed the Six Immortals of Taogu. Monk Bujie wanted to take action, but he was firmly locked by a force of energy. If he dared to move, he would die.

Monk Bujie stood there, his back covered in cold sweat, and looked towards the depths of the Huashan Sword Sect with fear. This aura was coming from there, and he knew who it came from without asking.

"Bah!" Kawakami Tomie spat softly, looking at the corpse of Taogu Six Immortals with disdain: "What a piece of rubbish."

After saying that, Kawakami Tomie took Yaoyue and Lianxing away slowly, and no one present dared to stop them.

The people from Huashan Sword Sect then invited the people from the other three sects to join the sect. At this time, Monk Bujie no longer dared to show off and only wanted to protect his daughter.

The person who met with the other three sects was Chen Xi. Both sides exchanged some business flattery and expressed their own attitudes. Chen Xi's meaning was simple and clear. It was a personal grudge between him and the Songshan Sect, and it was over when the matter was over. That was the end of it.

Seeing that the Huashan Sword Sect had no intention of destroying other sects, these people breathed a sigh of relief. As for the time when they had made things difficult for Yue Buqun before, Chen Xi did not even mention it. After all, it was Linghu Chong who caused it, and in the end, they were still in the wrong.

Both parties were happy.

Seeing that Chen Xi was so easy to talk to, Monk Bujie was not as nervous as before. He just felt quite regretful. He looked at Chen Xi and then at his own daughter, and felt worried as a father.

How could such a good man get married?

If Chen Xi was single, Monk Bujie could force his daughter to return to secular life and then marry Chen Xi. Now it's too late, and his daughter won't become someone's concubine.

If it weren't for the Tian Boguang incident, Yi Lin would have no feelings towards Linghu Chong, and she had never been tempted by any worldly desires. If she continued like this, she would most likely remain a nun forever, which Chen Xi thought was fine.

After the internal affairs of the Five Mountains Sword Sect were resolved, some people asked about the affairs of the Shaolin Temple and the Sun Moon Sect, meaning whether they should intervene?

Judging from this attitude, it is obvious that they have already regarded Huashan Sword Sect as the leader, and Chen Xi is the uncrowned leader.

"Don't worry about it. It has nothing to do with us." Chen Xi waved his hand, too lazy to get involved in this matter.

"What if the Sun Moon Cult wins?"

"That would also seriously damage their vitality and they would not have the energy to continue the attack. Besides, even if Shaolin Temple is destroyed, we still have Wudang Sect."

The people from the other three factions immediately felt relieved.

Chapter 113 Blackwood Cliff

Another year passed. At the beginning of spring, Huashan Sword Sect held a succession ceremony. It did not send out invitations widely and remained low-key. Only people from Yihua Palace and the other three sects came to watch the ceremony.

Yue Buqun resigned from the position of Sect Leader and concentrated on raising children from then on. He wanted to train Yue Le'an to see if the little guy had a chance to become the next Sect Leader. If not, he could only choose from among Chen Xi's disciples.

Chen Xi succeeded as the leader of Huashan Sword Sect, and he became the number one in the righteous way.

Strength is confidence. No one dared to cause trouble at his succession ceremony. However, a few people came uninvited and hid in the crowd.

Looking at Chen Xi on the high platform, Linghu Chong had mixed feelings. He had long understood that his junior brother was more suitable to be the head of Huashan Sword Sect than himself, so his junior brother kept a low profile for fear of stealing his limelight. But he still let his junior brother down.

"Brother Chong." Ren Yingying held Linghu Chong's hand, which was cold.

"Nothing, I'm fine." Linghu Chong turned his head and forced a smile.

Looking at those familiar faces, how could Linghu Chong not be moved? This is where he grew up.

Lan Fenghuang on the side looked at Chen Xi and gritted her teeth. She was so angry when she thought about the tricks she had played on her before, but she didn't dare to move.

Yaoyue and Lianxing were standing right next to the three of them. Did they really think they were just decorations?

When the ceremony was successfully concluded, the only thing left was to entertain the guests. Yao Yue then said, "Hero Linghu, the young master has already arranged a banquet, especially for your entertainment."

Linghu Chong: "Where?"

"The Cliff of Reflection."

"Heh~" Linghu Chong chuckled and said nothing more. He took Ren Yingying and Lan Fenghuang and walked towards the back mountain.

The Cliff of Repentance was not a big place, and a table had been set up, on which were all the dishes made by Chen Xi himself. Seeing Linghu Chong coming, he stood up and said, "Big Brother."

"Why are you standing up? You are the head of the sect now, and I am just an abandoned disciple of the Huashan Sword Sect."

"That's also the eldest brother."

Linghu Chong looked at Chen Xi deeply and sat down. Ren Yingying and Lan Fenghuang sat on both sides. The latter looked at Chen Xi with fire in her eyes.

Chen Xi smiled slightly and didn't take it seriously. He turned around, waved his hand towards the distance, and shot out a sword energy.

Soon, a figure came over from afar: "Chen boy, why are you calling me?"

Seeing the person coming, Linghu Chong stood up and saluted: "Granduncle Feng Taishi."

"Huh? It's you, kid. You're back?"

"Ah... come back and take a look."

"Well, then sit down. We're one family, so don't be nervous." Feng Qingyang looked at Ren Yingying and Lan Fenghuang and didn't ask any more questions. Apart from the people from Huashan, he wasn't very interested in other people.

Another figure floated over, Linghu Chong turned around and saw that it was Yue Lingshan. She was already a mother, but she looked like a young girl.

"Senior Brother~~" Yue Lingshan rushed over with a smile. No matter Linghu Chong was expelled or not, in her eyes, he was still her senior brother, like a brother to her. She had played with him a lot since childhood.

"Junior Sister." Linghu Chong was also happy, and his heavy mood relaxed a little.

The six people sat together, eating and drinking. Linghu Chong liked the wine brewed by Chen Xi because it was strong.

"I've prepared it for you a long time ago." Chen Xi said with a smile, "Take it all with you when you leave. I don't like drinking."

"Hahaha!" Linghu Chong laughed loudly. "You're the one, Junior Brother. Then I won't be polite."

"Take it away. Take it all."

Feng Qingyang on the side also said: "Chen's cooking skills are really amazing, leave me a few jars of that wine."

"Uncle Grandmaster, I have already reserved it."

"That's great. Send it here later and I'll get it myself."

As outsiders, Ren Yingying and Lan Fenghuang could not get a word in. Fortunately, Yue Lingshan was there and did not let the conversation become awkward. She pulled them aside and talked to them in a girlish way.

After all, she was Linghu Chong's woman, so Chen Xi didn't look at her much. However, when he glanced at her from time to time, he noticed something different: "Sister-in-law, can I take your pulse?"

Linghu Chong: “???”

Ren Yingying: “???”

The couple looked at each other, Linghu Chong nodded, and Ren Yingying stretched out her arm.
