Chapter 44 Daomen

Li Yanmo didn't listen much to what Feng Shouyun said afterwards, nor did he dare to listen, and he didn't even dare to call up the interface of the management system.

Anyway, it's just praise.

The governor of Risheng City, who was at the peak of the spiritual transformation stage, called him "Brother Li" all the time in a very cordial manner.

But Li Yanmo liked the prefect's previous attitude more.

However, Feng Shouyun was a prefect after all, and he did not really abuse his power for personal gain. After praising him, he started to talk about business.

"The appearance of the Xiang Mo Venerable this time is probably not a coincidence."

When Venerable Xiangmo was mentioned, everyone present became serious, even Mei Chai Shao.

If they had not been attracted by Li Yanmo's infatuation and taken action, they would probably have become a member of the ghost world of Xiangmo Zun last night.

"According to the records of the Great Yu Dynasty, the Xiangmo Venerable had already fallen, but I didn't expect that his spirit survived and even borrowed the power of the Demon Immortal Sect to break through the fusion stage and achieve a body that can transcend tribulations," Feng Shouyun said with a serious expression. "I suspect that other demons may also exist in the world in the form of spirits like the Xiangmo Venerable."

Feng Shouyun paused and spoke slowly.

"I'm afraid there is a sect behind them helping them."

The elders of Qingshan Sect fell silent.

The unknown cultivator who appeared last night also had the cultivation base of the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm. There were very few people of this strength in Ganzhou, but looking at the entire universe, there were countless of them. That unknown cultivator was obviously also here to slay demons and break through the realm, otherwise he would not have asked Mei Chai Shao to take action on the condition of slaying demons and breaking through the realm.

The unknown monk directly revealed the identity of Venerable Xiangmo, which meant that those monks were not deceived by Venerable Xiangmo, but were cooperating with Venerable Xiangmo in a transaction.

Cooperating with demons is no small matter, and ordinary sects simply cannot afford such a responsibility.

Then the answer is obvious.

"When the Confucian sect was first established, demons were rampant and wanted to destroy the sacred pillar. Emperor Yu held a demon-slaying ceremony, and Xiangmo Zun was one of the demons who took action. The only ones who could protect Xiangmo Zun's soul at that time were the Taoist sect who also participated in this matter," Feng Shouyun held his forehead and sighed, "If there was another demon who was in his own world... I'm afraid there would be chaos in the Yu Dynasty."

The elders of Qingshan Sect were feeling uneasy. Although Qingshan Sect was inconspicuous, it was also a member of the Alliance of Millions of Sects.

The unidentified Divine Transformation cultivator had already escaped last night. If the mastermind behind this incident was indeed some super sect in Taoism, then the other party must have known that their Qingshan Sect had stepped in to help Feng Shouyun.

Mei Chai Shao, as the ancestor of Qingshan, was not only fearless, but also blunt, "I'm afraid it's to hinder the clan registration system of your Dayu Dynasty."

"Sect registration?" Li Yanmo was a little curious.

Feng Shouyun and Leng Ningshuang looked at each other, still struggling over what to say.

After all, they had already discussed with someone in the military sect to persuade Li Yanmo to register with the sect, and the existence of that infatuated swordsman also increased Li Yanmo's power. If they did not persuade him well, Li Yanmo would most likely resist registering with the sect.

But Mei Chai Shao had already started talking.

"In order to connect the three thousand great ways and increase the success rate of cultivators attaining enlightenment and becoming immortals, Emperor Yu refined the Dao Pillar and established the Dao Sect with it."

"The original purpose of the Dao Sect was to break the decadent era at the end of the Great Wilderness, to allow the sect to rise, and to strengthen the power of the Dayu Dynasty itself."

"It was fine at first, but some ancient sects stole the truth, borrowed the power of the Taoist sect, and gradually won over other sects."

"The final result is that the Dao Sect has become an alliance of millions of sects, and has been secretly diluting the ruling power of the Dayu Dynasty, trying to destroy the Dayu Dynasty and return to the Great Wilderness."

The leader of Qingshan Sect was horrified and said quickly, "Grandmaster, you can't say that!"

Mei Chai Shao glanced at the Sect Master and said, "Do you think I'm wrong?"

“…No, not really.”

The leader of Qingshan Sect fell silent.

Li Yanmo had not expected that so many things would be involved, and his head suddenly became heavy. Seeing this situation, Feng Shouyun also knew that he had said too much.

"Brother Li, you don't have to worry about this, but... I do want to talk to you about the registration."

Feng Shouyun looked embarrassed and even found it hard to speak. If it were yesterday, he would never have dared to imagine that he would be like this.

"I wonder if you are willing to accept the laws of the Dayu Dynasty and register your sect. Of course, we will not make this public, and we will provide you with certain assistance and protection in secret."

The first reaction of the elders of Qingshan Sect was to persuade Li Yanmo to refuse.

The sect registration system will subvert the existence of Taoism. Any sect that accepts the sect registration system may be ostracized by millions of sects. The most terrifying are those sects from the Great Wilderness period that disguised themselves by stealing the show.

But they soon thought of the unknown monk who had escaped.

The Dao Sect will definitely take some action. If they can get the secret help and protection from the military sect, they can at least defend the Qingshan Sect. As for the fairy sister mentioned by Li Yanmo...

What Li Yanmo said was right. If they were too persistent, they might make the other party unhappy.

After exchanging glances, the elders of Qingshan Sect chose to remain silent. After all, their ancestor had already given Qingshan Sect to Li Yanmo.

Li Yan crossed his fingers. He was not interested in security, but he was curious about what the Dayu Dynasty wanted.

"So what do I need to pay?"

Seeing that Li Yanmo was not confused by the help and guarantee of the military sect, and pointed directly to the crux of the problem, Feng Shouyun was a little surprised and couldn't help but praise him, "You are worthy of being favored by the infatuated swordsman."

Li Yanmo immediately waved his hands in shame, while Jian Xin closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"The military sect will not restrict the freedom of the people in the sect, but it will take inventory of the sect's property and collect taxes," Feng Shouyun's eyes couldn't help but wander when he mentioned the word tax.

This is the most fundamental reason why millions of sects are united.

Once the registration system is accepted, the sect must be unilaterally transparent to the Dayu Dynasty, and the Dayu Dynasty also has the right to send troops.

"Okay, I accept. When will the tax be collected? How will it be collected?"

"I know this is hard for you to accept, but...ah?"

Feng Shouyun originally wanted to give some advice and state the conditions for opening the military gate, but Li Yanmo's overly straightforward answer made Feng Shouyun unable to react for a while, and even Leng Ningshuang was dumbfounded.

"This... your spiritual field and animals... no—"

Feng Shouyun glanced at the raccoon and corrected his statement.

"The Spirit Beast Garden and its affiliated sects are all considered your sect's assets. The Military Sect will take 30% of the profits based on actual benefits. Of course, it also includes certain security guarantees. If the sect's business affects the order of mortals, or even causes large-scale deaths, the Dayu Dynasty will collect a fine."

Li Yanmo felt a little regretful.

When he heard about taxes, he thought it could be cut in half, but 30% would be good too.

The Qingshan Sect would provide one million low-grade spirit stones every year, and the Dayu Dynasty could cut off 300,000 spirit stones at once.

"Of course, the Dayu Dynasty would not collect taxes for no reason."

"The Military Gate will provide your sect with industry protection and convenient channels, intelligence, spiritual treasures, and elixirs. Of course, these parts are still under construction because the registration system has not yet been implemented..."
