Chapter 3539 Collection of taxes

Rumble——

Following a violent sound, two powerful spells finally came into contact in mid-air.

Unexpectedly, the sword wielded by the Ancient Sword Saint Master was severely crushed by the handprint of Lu Yu as soon as it came into contact with Lu Yu's handprint. The sword energy was torn into pieces and not a single bit remained.

After a loud rumbling sound, the long sword in the hand of the Ancient Sword Saint directly fell into pieces.

And he himself was slapped hard on the ground by his handprint, and blood was spitting out from his mouth.

After a while, the Ancient Sword Saint Master no longer hesitated, his eyes staring at the ceiling aimlessly.

He is dead.

The surroundings fell into deathly silence.

Those sect leaders originally planned to watch the fun, but they didn't expect that the fight between the two would end so quickly.

This is just a palm!

The majestic Holy Lord of the Holy Land was actually shot to death?

Some sect leaders originally looked down upon Lu Yu because of their age and seniority. But now, the way they look at Lu Yu has changed, and there is even a hint of fear.

In the heaven, everything is respected by strength. If Lu Yu didn't have enough strength, no one would really obey him.

"Does anyone else have any opinions?" Lu Yu asked coldly.

All the sect leaders present were silent, no one dared to say anything.

Lu Yu continued: "In the past, I didn't care what Wang Muzhi did to you. What I said was an order. I'm not discussing with you, do you understand?"

"From today on, I will give you one month to collect the taxes you owed before. If you can't collect them all, disband the sect, otherwise when the imperial army arrives, you will be wiped out."

The sect leaders present looked at each other, with a bitter smile in their eyes.

The imperial court has always imposed heavy taxes on sects.

Therefore, many sects directly bribed the Wang family in order to avoid paying taxes.

The entire Xiliang Mansion is under the orders of the Wang family, so as long as the Wang family gives an order, the Xiliang Mansion will naturally not send anyone to check the taxes of these sects.

Therefore, the taxes collected by the imperial court from the Zuojun Mansion each year decreased year after year. In fact, most of the money fell into the pockets of the Wang family.

"Fortunately, it's just money."

Many sect leaders had expressions of relief on their faces.

Although it is a heavy tax, it is still acceptable to people in these sects.

As long as we don't destroy them, everything will be fine.

"The governor is joking. This is what we should pay. I was deceived by Wang Muzhi before, so I owed the court money. We will definitely pay it in full this time."

"That's right, we all work for the imperial court, and everything must comply with the imperial court's rules."

"That Ancient Sword Saint Lord is simply looking for death. He actually dares to provoke you. I really don't know how he got to where he is today."

Some sect leaders quickly said flatteringly.

Lu Yu didn't take these flattering words seriously.

He said calmly: "The Ancient Sword Holy Land will be taken over by the imperial court from now on. All the disciples will be dismissed, and the sect's property will be completely taken back to the government. I will send people to investigate. You should not think about getting involved in the Ancient Sword Holy Land in the near future."

As soon as Lu Yu said these words, he immediately silenced those present who had ulterior motives.

Some people saw that the Ancient Sword Holy Master was dead and planned to take advantage of the chaos to rob the property of the Ancient Sword Holy Land.

But as soon as Lu Yu said these words, it was no longer possible to do this.
