Qi Hao was very discerning and took out a chair directly from the spiritual ring: "Master Hou, sit down."
"Just right."
Zuo Chongming sat down calmly and tapped the armrest with his fingertips: "I am too lazy to go twice. If you want to talk, just kneel down and talk."
When the players heard this, they couldn't help but twitch their mouths.
What a "kneel down and speak", it's such an understatement...and extremely domineering.
Thousands of words can be condensed into one sentence - Zuo Zuo is too handsome.
Compared with Zuo Chongming's calm demeanor, the warriors from various sects and aristocratic families all had their faces as red as pig liver, and their eyes were full of anger.
They all have a high status in their respective forces, especially those big guys in the astrology realm. They are always respected and treated with great courtesy wherever they go, but they have never been so humiliated.
They didn't want to kneel, and they didn't know how to kneel. Instead, they wanted to crush Zuo Chongming into ashes.
But the problem is, it's a lot of pressure.
That terrifying pressure is still weighing on their shoulders, and they can't even move their feet, let alone move their true energy.
"I……"
Click!
As soon as a person opened his mouth, he suddenly felt his shoulders sink, his knees suddenly became sore and weak, and he knelt on the ground with a thud.
As Zuo Chongming said, you must kneel down...to speak.
The man's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "I, we are here to discuss with Mr. Zuo, can we each take a step back?"
"What's the meaning?"
Zuo Chongming's eyes showed a look of amusement.
Just now, this group of people were so aggressive that they wanted to get ready to break into the city, but now their words turned into the word 'discuss'.
Man, what an interesting creature.
After calming down for a while, the person continued: "We will return the route to you, but you have to pay 80% of the original price to take back our spaceship."
They have figured out that whether Feizhou Cailu becomes popular or not, the initiative rests with Zuo Chongming.
It only takes one word to influence the survival of this financial path.
So, they want to put it all back to the way it was.
"Hehehe..."
Zuo Chongming looked at him and suddenly laughed: "In the beginning, you took the initiative to increase investment and insisted on taking away the route from my hands."
"Now that you find you are not making money, you want to go back. Do you feel that the world revolves around you? You can do whatever you want?"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but tremble.
After a moment of silence, someone said: "Actually... the price can be discussed later."
Zuo Chongming scratched his chin and said casually: "It's not impossible to return it. Let's pay 30% of the original price."
A woman stared angrily and said angrily: "Are you...going too far? This way, we will lose more."
Zuo Chongming frowned: "Business is inherently ups and downs. There are ups and downs. Why can others compensate but you can't?"
The man's eyes were pleading, and his voice was trembling: "Sixty percent, at least sixty percent, no less..."
Zuo Chongming saw that he was so anxious that he almost cried. He couldn't help but feel soft in his heart and sighed: "Well, let's each take a step back. How about 50%?"
The man's facial features were wrinkled in pain, and his heart was bleeding: "Fifty percent, five... OK, thank you, Lord Marquis..."
"Don't thank me too much, I haven't finished speaking yet."
Zuo Chongming knocked on the armrest and said softly: "The route will be returned to me. I will take back the flying boat you purchased at 50% of the original price."
"In addition, you must sell all properties, including but not limited to mineral veins, land, etc., and I will purchase them at 50% of the market price."
"Also, from now on, any business involving warriors will have to pay taxes to the court. The tax rate is tentatively set at 20%."
"Also, from today on, if I need you, you must be on call and be ready to serve at any time. The reward will certainly not be low."
Having said this, he smacked his lips without saying anything and said hesitantly: "That's it for now. I'll add more when I think about it later."
Too much!
Any of these demands made by Zuo Chongming can be called excessive.
In the past, they would have dismissed it without even thinking about it, and even had to spit on Zuo Chongming's face.
But now the situation is stronger than the people, because a certain Sabi stirred up trouble, causing the situation to be irreversible.
There are only two ways in front of them, either they bow their heads and give in and get some compensation at least, or they put their lives on hold and have their homes confiscated and their families exterminated.
How many people want to die unless they have to?
Of course they don't want to, so they can only bow their heads.

When it comes to industrial issues, the efficiency of the government is quite fast.
On the afternoon of the next day, all counties within the Xiyun Prefecture received orders from Lu Weiguang.
Led by the magistrates of each county, the professional team convened by First Fragrant Tea went directly to various aristocratic families and sects to start acquiring properties.
The large amount of silver that Zuo Chongming had accumulated before was pouring out like crazy. It was all consumed in just a few days, and was replaced with gold and yuan stones.
More than half a month later, all matters came to an end.
At this point, the Jianghu forces in Xiyun Mansion were completely cut off by Zuo Chongming, and their muscles were removed, leaving no possibility of their rise.
Although they had raised some funds by selling their properties at low prices, they had no stable source of income and could only sit and eat.
Business is not that easy to do. In terms of low prices, it is not as good as players, in terms of hard work and ability, it is not as good as players, and in terms of fantastic ideas, it is not as good as players...
These local NPC warriors have no competitiveness at all compared to players of the same level.
What's more, even if they do business, they still have to pay taxes to Zuo Chongming.
The plight of each force is completely obvious.
Anyone who is not a fool can see this.
As a result, the thoughts of the disciples became more and more wandering.
In just two months, the number of warriors under each force has dropped by one-third, and this trend is getting worse...
It was only at this time that all forces finally understood Zuo Chongming's sinister intentions.
This guy agreed so happily that day. In addition to making a huge profit from the price difference, he also dug a pit.
A big pit that could kill them and leave them with no chance of ever getting over.
Unfortunately, they understood it too late and everything was a foregone conclusion.

Champion House.
Li Jianhui hurried over and took out a yellowed book: "Master Hou, I got the things."
I saw the words "Yu Qing Hui Sword Jue Volume 2" written clearly on the book.
Zuo Chongming knew where this thing was, but he was busy with sect affairs recently, so he asked Li Jianhui to go to Jianfeng.
"good."
Zuo Chongming took the exercises, quickly read through them, stood up and walked towards the quiet room: "I will retreat for a few days, and everything will be as usual."
"As commanded."
Jiang Fenglong and others watched him leave.
After a while, Li Jianhui suddenly said: "Why do I feel that Mr. Hou is about to break through?"
Jiang Fenglong said calmly: "Master Hou's understanding is extremely high, even the best in ancient and modern times. He can even understand the unique skills, let alone the martial arts."
The corners of Li Jianhui's mouth twitched and he asked softly: "Do you still remember the scene where thousands of swords roared together not long ago?"
"Of course I remember." Jiang Fenglong was puzzled.
Li Jianhui whispered: "I went back and checked the ancient books. It is possible that the Marquis has understood the will of martial arts."
Jiang Fenglong's eyes bulged: "Martial arts intention...what? Impossible! Doesn't it say that only Yuanhai realm warriors can condense martial arts will?"
Li Jianhui shrugged: "Master Hou cannot understand it with common sense. After all, even if ordinary people get the secret knowledge, they will never be able to understand it in their lifetime."
"That's true."
"Master Hou told me that martial arts will is actually the prototype of the realm."
"field?"
"I'll take you to Jianfeng to experience it another day, and you'll know."
…
Boom!
The stone door of the quiet room is closed.
Zuo Chongming touched the spiritual ring and took out a large amount of Demon Yuandan.
Just like swallowing eggs, I swallowed a few pieces one by one, called up the panel, glanced twice, and directly improved the skill.
Click…….
In the middle and lower dantian, the solid true essence condensed, was crushed by a huge force, and cracked with a crisp sound.
Then, under the guidance of inexplicable power, the two converged into a torrent, rushing toward the upper Dantian in a mighty way.
At this time, Zuo Chongming's martial arts will burst out, and a vision appeared behind him, merging with the true essence in a strange way.
For ordinary warriors, the process of breaking through from the Guiyuan Realm to the Origin Sea Realm is very painful.
Because they have not understood the will of martial arts and have not reached the level of harmony between Qi and intention, there is no room for buffering in the middle.
But Zuo Chongming was much better. Not only was the process extremely smooth, but even the pain was almost negligible.
When the breakthrough was successful, he clearly felt that his control of the true energy had improved to another level.
For example, when in the Guiyuan realm, true energy is a kind of energy, and the middle Dantian and lower Dantian are equivalent to containers for storing energy.
When he opens up his Dantian, it's like he has enhanced control over energy, and can control its operation and output in more detail...
"The Origin Sea Realm is also divided into front, middle and back."
Zuo Chongming squinted his eyes and thought carefully: "My true energy when I was in the late stage of Guiyuan Realm, but after the early stage of Yuanhai Realm, I can't even fill my lower Dantian."
"A conservative estimate is that the total amount of true energy reserves in the early stage of the Yuanhai Realm has increased by about six or seven times compared to the late stage of the Guiyuan Realm. The change is not small."
Guiyuan Realm and Yuanhai Realm were once the same realm, so there will naturally be no qualitative changes.
Only after reaching the astrological realm can it be called a qualitative change.
However, Zuo Chongming is not in a hurry for now, he has to settle the field first.
Thinking of this, he swallowed some Demonic Yuan Dan and upgraded the secret skill "Dugu Nine Swords" derived from Dugu Hong from the eighth level to the eleventh level.
Although under the effect of the ‘Sword Intent’ talent, the upgrading cost of sword martial arts is reduced by 30%, the demand for cultivation of the ultimate skills is massive.
The Demonic Yuan Dan he accumulated during this period can only be upgraded to three levels after being consumed by upgrading his skills.
The remaining cultivation value is barely enough to upgrade "Sword Shadow Step" by one level.
After getting it done, Zuo Chongming finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the panel with satisfaction.
