Chapter 446: Master Fang, You Are Going Too Far
"Let's discuss the terms!"
Fang Xianyu sat on a chair, while Feng Yuanyi and Shan Zhao stood beside him with serious expressions.
For some reason, Feng Yuanyi, the double agent, eventually sided with the Immortal Lord Liquan.
Ever since he watched the Taiyin Sect's military exercise and learned that the sect had been interacting with the Kunlun Hill Dragon Clan and the Haizhongquan Clan, he found a way to pay a visit to Fang Xianyu and took the initiative to mention that he wanted to buy more powerful "magic weapons" and "spiritual weapons."
He even gritted his teeth and said bluntly: "If we can cause damage to the Golden Immortal, it would be great!"
Fang Xianyu understood a little bit as soon as he heard it, and said bluntly: "I can help Liquan Immortal Lord, but someone with sufficient status must come to discuss it with me in person. I'm afraid you can't make the decision yet."
Feng Yuanyi flatly denied it: "Liquan Immortal Lord has already died, how can we help him?"
Fang Xianyu was not going to indulge him and chose to send him away directly: "Don't play dumb with me. I have a grudge against Piaomiao Jinxian, and I'm taking this opportunity to take revenge. It's very clever. If you are interested, you can bring people back next time! If not, I will kill her myself after some time!"
These people were begging her in the first place. If she didn't hold herself up high, it would be inconvenient to negotiate conditions later!
Sure enough, just a few days later, Feng Yuanyi came to visit again, and brought with him a woman in simple clothes.
The woman said her name was Shan Zhao and she was the last wife of the Immortal Lord Liquan.
Although Shan Zhao's talent was not bad, he had only reached the Nascent Soul stage due to his short cultivation time, and he had no children. After Liquan Immortal Lord died, he escaped from Piaomiao Immortal Sect with the help of the elders who followed him.
The leader of the Liquan Immortal Lord's faction, who has such a low level of cultivation and no successor, is risking his life to come to the Taiyin Sect. It can be said that he is very sincere.
Fang Xianyu pushed a pile of books in front of him towards the two of them and said, "I can do my best to kill her, but your sect has always had a bad reputation, so a major purge is inevitable. I'm sure you two can understand this."
Shan Zhao nodded: "Even if you don't tell me, we will still deal with it properly!"
"No, I'm afraid you don't understand. I suggest you take a look at our contract."
Fang Xianyu supported his face with one hand and said lazily: "We in Taiyin Sect prohibit slaves and monster cultivators. Monster cultivators have the same social status and rights as human cultivators, unless they break the law - but if they break the law, there will be another way to deal with them.
"Anyway, you'd better inform them when you go back. I won't pursue the past. Those who raise monsters, slaves, and ghosts should all be cleared out. Those who should be released should be released, and those who need medical treatment should be treated. However, if there are those who were wrongly killed to evade responsibility, I'm afraid I will investigate one or two.
"As for the taxes and labor service for the people, we should also do our best to prepare for the handover. The Taiyin Sect does not set up labor service and does not collect agricultural taxes. I hope you are clear about these.
"It's not impossible to keep the Piao Miao Xian Sect, but I'm afraid you all hate this name. You can come up with a new name when the time comes. I don't mind you calling it a sect and establishing a city, but the governance, supervision, and laws must all follow the rules of the Tai Yin Sect."
Feng Yuanyi was furious when he heard this: "Sect Master Fang has such a big appetite! Do you want to swallow up the entire Tianying Continent? "
"Your Tianying Continent is already small, not even half the size of our Taiyin Sect. So what if you swallow it up? Besides, do you still have any choice now?"
Fang Xianyu looked at the two people leisurely, smiled, and said, "Give up the conditions I proposed. Either you wait for Piao Miao Jin Xian to recover and kill you, or you fight before she recovers and die a worthy death. It's a death anyway, but cooperating with me gives you a way out, isn't it?"
Feng Yuanyi gritted his teeth and said, "We can also go to Penglai Sect! Sect Master Fang, don't think that only your Taiyin Sect can fight her. There are many powerful sects in the ten continents and three islands, such as Taiyi Qiankun Sect, Penglai Sect, and Suiming Sect!"
Fang Xianyu didn't buy it, and spoke frankly, "If you were willing to submit to the Penglai Sect, you would have gone there long ago. Why did you come to me? Other immortals and gods are afraid of being contaminated by karma and dare not reach out, but I am not afraid. If you hadn't heard of my reputation of destroying the Taiyi Ziwei Sect in one night, you probably wouldn't have taken such a big risk to come find me."
Feng Yuanyi was still unwilling to accept it: "But Sect Master Fang is going too far! Piao Miao Xian Sect is our foundation for thousands of years, how can we give it up so easily!?"
Fang Xianyu even made a joke: "Then let you have a sense of ceremony. I don't care which side you are on. I will just push forward?"
Feng Yuanyi was so angry that his face turned red: "You——"
"I promise."
Unexpectedly, Shan Zhao, who had been flipping through the pile of contract booklets, suddenly nodded.
"Oh, so straightforward!" Fang Xianyu couldn't help but applaud, "Daoyou is really a straightforward person! I like it!"
Feng Yuanyi was a little anxious and called out, "Madam!"
Shan Zhao just shook his head slightly at him, and then continued to ask Fang Xianyu: "These things are not bound by the Heavenly Dao contract, nor are there any restrictions set by the immortals and gods. Why do you want to make them?"
"A sense of ceremony? Or just like an IOU, a guarantee to put your minds at ease?"
For some reason, Fang Xianyu couldn't help himself and made a joke.
Shan Zhao was neither angry nor annoyed, and just said: "Master Fang, I sincerely seek an explanation."
Fang Xianyu put away his smile, and said with a serious look, "This is also the custom of our Taiyin Sect. No matter what, we always write a contract and sign a contract. There may be no heavenly constraints, and we don't ask for any immortals' prohibitions, but there are Taiyin Sect's own legal constraints. Instead of pinning our hopes on heavenly laws and immortals' prohibitions, it is better to create a human way with our own hands - a glorious road that regulates the people of the world with laws!
"Greed breeds theft and robbery, lust breeds adultery and deception. I cannot eradicate greed and lust, for this is human nature, but I can make the consequences of greed unbearable. Only in this way can we clear up the localities and bring peace to the world."
Feng Yuanyi's expression was complicated: "It's just a few pieces of waste paper, what does it have to do with the law?"
"Law is the code of conduct for the world. Punishment does not spare high officials, and reward does not exclude common people. Ordinary people who do not understand the laws of the Tao can still be protected by the law, relying on these 'waste papers'. Even if people do not understand cultivation, they can still rely on 'waste papers' to protect their rights. Isn't it much better than putting hope in the sometimes effective and sometimes ineffective heavenly laws, and the immortals who always have likes and dislikes?"
Feng Yuanyi still looked confused, but Shan Zhao nodded in agreement, then asked, "Thank you for your advice. How do we sign the contract for these things?"
"It's simple," Fang Xianyu took out a box of ink from somewhere and said with a smile, "Just sign your name and put your fingerprints on it!"
