Chapter 516: No Time to Pay Taxes, Then Confiscate Them

The news of the sudden appearance of the Eye of the Sky in Dayu Dynasty, Baidi City, and Ganzhou quickly spread.

Wu Long and others who were arranged to live in the palace were almost frightened to the ground after hearing about this.

Just as they left, something as grand as the Eye of the Sky appeared in Ganzhou. How could this be a coincidence!

They knew that their surrender to Dayu on behalf of Taoism would definitely cause action from Tianxu Tower, but they never thought that Tianxu Tower's reaction would be so great!

Wu Long and others immediately ran to the Ministry of Revenue to ask for an audience with the Minister of Revenue, Ye Shen.

"Master Ye Shen! Master Ye Shen! When will it be our turn to pay the taxes? We must pay the taxes immediately!"

The super sects have to make up for the taxes that have been missed for hundreds of thousands of years, which is a huge workload, so even the Ministry of Revenue has not come up with a specific number.

Wulong and his people were very happy just now. Although the taxes must be paid, it’s better to pay them later.

But they couldn't laugh now. Before the taxes were paid, the Dayu Dynasty would definitely not seriously protect super sects like them. And the Tianxu Tower might want to deal with them seriously now. The Eye of the Sky might be a signal to the Dayu Dynasty, threatening the Dayu Dynasty not to interfere!

Emperor Yu was not yet ready for a full-scale war with Tianxu Tower, and they were not naive enough to think that Emperor Yu would be merciful enough to protect them. So they could only quickly bind themselves to the Dayu Dynasty. As long as they became a part of the Dayu Dynasty, Emperor Yu would never stand idly by in order to defend the Dayu Dynasty's absolute dominance over the universe.

Ye Shen was worrying about the problem of too many bad debts of the super sect, and when he saw Wu Long and others coming to urge him to pay, he immediately got angry. However, after hearing other people's supplements and knowing that the Eye of the Sky suddenly appeared in Ganzhou, Ye Shen immediately smiled.

But he certainly couldn't go to meet Wulong and others with a smile, so he immediately cut out a face with a paralyzed expression.

"What's the matter with you all suddenly coming to my place?"

Wu Long's heart sank when he saw Ye Shen's cold attitude. He was the Minister of Revenue among the six ministers. How could he not know about the sudden appearance of the Eye of the Sky in Ganzhou? This cold reaction was telling them that the Dayu Dynasty would not fall out with super sects like them just because of a word from their Majesty: Go to Tianxu Tower.

"Lord Ye Shen, we are here naturally to pay the taxes. We feel uneasy when we think about the fact that our sect has been in arrears of taxes for hundreds of thousands of years. So is there any way to pay the taxes quickly?" Wu Long rubbed his hands anxiously, but did not dare to urge him directly.

You and I both know that these super sects need the help of the Dayu Dynasty to resist the pressure from the Tianxu Tower, but both sides know it, but they tacitly agree not to bring it up. If he shows it too obviously, the Dayu Dynasty will definitely be unhappy.

So he must never rush.

"Hmph! How dare you talk like that! Look at what you handed in. Not only is the format incorrect, but the contents are also a mess. Some of them are account books from two or three hundred years ago. Now the entire Ministry of Revenue is settling accounts with you guys!" Ye Shen raised his hand and threw the account book in his hand on the table.

Wu Long and others looked embarrassed but didn't know what to say.

The fire was burning at their butts, so they didn't have time to count the assets of the super sect. Of course they surrendered first. Besides, how could they have expected that the usually low-key Tianxu Tower would make such a big fuss.

"Well, thank you very much to Ye Shen and everyone in the Ministry of Revenue for your hard work. I wonder how long it will take to settle this account?"

Ye Shen snorted and raised three fingers.

"Three days?" Wu Long breathed a sigh of relief.

Three days is still okay.

Ye Shen shook his head.

Wu Long's heart sank, "Thirty days?"

Ye Shen still shook his head.

"Three months!?"

"It's three hundred years!"

"What!? Lord Ye Shen, stop joking. It won't take three hundred years at the least!" Wu Long was anxious. He suspected that Ye Shen was following the instructions of Emperor Yu to test the bottom line of these super sects.

"Do you think that the hundreds of thousands of years of foundation of your super sects can be fully counted by us within three months, and we can also calculate how much tax needs to be paid?" Ye Shen was so angry that he laughed, and he was not pretending.

"We in the Dayu Dynasty have always been fair and just, even to you!"

"Each Emperor Yu would make changes and reforms to the tax system. We must first determine when your industries were established, and then calculate how much tax you need to pay based on the tax revenue collected during the tenure of each Emperor Yu!"

"The premise for us to be able to complete it in just three hundred years is that we work here without eating or drinking, and the information provided by you super sects has no loopholes!"

Ye Shen was so angry that Wulong and others fell silent.

If he had heard yesterday that the Ministry of Revenue needed three hundred years to calculate how much tax should be paid, he would have laughed out loud.

It would be great to be able to drag it on for three hundred years.

But now, three hundred years?

Three months would have been fatal, and it would have dragged on for another three hundred years! ?

"Well, um, I'm sorry to trouble you all, but is there any other faster way?" Wu Long rubbed his hands. The leaders of other super sects had the same reaction.

"You know what, there is actually a way to do this without having to calculate how much tax to pay."

"Really?" Wu Long was stunned and opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"Confiscate it."

Wulong was struck by lightning, and Gui Moye and other super sect leaders were also petrified.

Indeed, if they were to confiscate the property directly, there would be no need to calculate how much tax these super sects would have to pay.

"So, um, what does confiscation mean?"

"From today on, those industries will be fully taken over by the Dayu Dynasty. They have nothing to do with you," Ye Shen crossed his fingers and looked like he was doing his job.

"How can this be possible!" The leader of a super sect couldn't help but shout out loud.

The super sect is wealthy and powerful, with a strong foundation, so naturally they don’t care about one or two assets being confiscated, but the question is, is it possible that the assets that Ye Shen said would be confiscated are just one or two?

Ye Shen was asking them to hand over all their additional assets other than the super sect itself.

This is something they cannot accept no matter what.

Even Wu Long put away his smile, "Master Ye Shen, we need to think about this."

"No, I won't..."

Ye Shen was not in a hurry at all.

After leaving the Ministry of Revenue, Wulong and others seemed to be encouraging each other, and as if to give themselves confidence, they cursed Ye Shen for taking advantage of the situation.

"This is too much! This is not a tax collector! He is simply a blood-sucking worm!"

"Everyone, they want to chop off all our hands and feet! If we take a step back, there will be no way back!"

The leaders of the super sects spoke one after another, which was very exciting, until they heard that the super sect of the Tianxu Tower Alliance was acting strangely and seemed to be preparing for war.

“Confiscate it!!!”
