Xu Fan's appearance completely disrupted Lord Huang Mang's tax collection plan.
He had come to the market to collect taxes on the orders of the Snake King, but he hadn't expected to run into such a troublemaker.
Moreover, he was certain that the other party was exceptionally strong and not someone he could easily provoke.
His enormous, blood-red tail alone speaks volumes about his extraordinary status.
In addition, he easily caught his own side.
Lord Huang Mang knew that he had used all his strength just now, enough to shatter even diamonds from the surface world.
After all, what he was holding was a real dragon tendon.
And he himself possessed the strength of a Ghost King.
The fact that such an attack was easily caught by the opponent proves that the opponent's strength far exceeds my level.
Lord Huang Mang immediately let go and curled up his tail.
He immediately prostrated himself at Xu Fan's feet, his voice trembling and filled with sobs.
"My lord, please forgive my poor eyesight and my rudeness. I was too impetuous just now. Please forgive me!"
Xu Fan was taken aback by the other party's explanation.
This isn't right; the other side isn't playing by the rules.
A normal script shouldn't be one where the bully looks down on you and then attacks you relentlessly.
In the end, he emerged unscathed, defeated the bully, and won a warm welcome and applause from the surrounding residents.
They would selflessly give him the only blood bodhi seeds they had as protection money.
However, Lord Huang Mang, who played the role of the bully, knelt down immediately, making it difficult for him to extricate himself from the situation.
"This is going to be difficult!"
Xu Fan quickly helped Lord Huang Mang up with both hands and said gently.
"Ah, it's alright. This dragon lady and I came down from above for an inspection. We just happened to witness your violent enforcement of the law and wanted to give you some good advice. You don't need to be too nervous."
Xu Fan spoke casually, but his revelation of his identity was enough to shock all the snake people present.
"Wow, so he was sent down from above. No wonder he has such an aura of dominance."
"Yes, I knew he was no ordinary person the moment I saw him."
The surrounding residents were talking amongst themselves, but Lord Huang Mang did not stop them. Instead, he lowered his stance and spoke in a gentler tone.
"Greetings, Your Excellency. Your Excellency has come from afar. I apologize for not greeting you properly."
His words were almost identical to those of the two snake-man guards, indicating a strong bureaucratic atmosphere here, where such polite language has become a part of the culture within the snake-man community.
Xu Fan had no choice but to adopt a superior attitude and order Lord Huang Mang to speak.
"We are here to seek out the suffering of the surrounding residents. We would like to ask Lord Huang Mang to be merciful and temporarily return the collected taxes to the residents. We will make further plans after their businesses are running normally. What do you think?"
Lord Huang Mang was still hesitating, after all, charging fees was the order of the Snake King, and refunding taxes was the order of the special envoy. He was caught in the middle and looked very awkward.
However, he couldn't refuse, so he had to bite the bullet and agree. After all, a local official is more powerful than a distant one, and one has to bow one's head when under someone's roof.
If you insist on looking up, you'll surely get hurt.
So he handed the bag of blood bodhi beads he had just received to Xu Fan, asking Xu Fan to distribute the blood bodhi beads in the bag to the residents here one by one.
The snake-people thanked the special envoy with great gratitude.
After picking up the blood bodhi, they immediately pushed their carts and fled the scene as fast as they could.
To prevent Lord Huang Mang from changing his mind at the last minute, the Blood Bodhi was taken back.
After everything had settled down, Xu Fan asked.
"We want to continue onward and find the gathering place of the ancient dragons. I wonder if you could lead the way?"
Upon hearing that he had a chance to prove himself, Lord Huang Mang immediately stood up and happily led Xu Fan toward the elevator.
What appeared before Xu Fan was a true elevator, technologically advanced and completely out of place with its surroundings.
"Your Excellency, given your distinguished status, it should be no problem for you to descend directly to the lowest level. Simply place your badge on the display screen."
Nine times out of ten, special envoys from above are from mysterious organizations.
They will receive medals from the organization, which will also serve as their pass to leave.
Xu Fan didn't know if the blank badge in his hand was usable.
After he and Daisy had entered the elevator, they placed the blank badges on the monitor.
The elevator display screen began to show rows of buttons.
I never imagined that this bottomless blood pool would have 18 layers.
To be honest, this is really bad luck.
Isn't this the equivalent of the 18 levels of hell in Chinese legend?
However, as the guide had mentioned before, the ancient dragons lived on the lowest level.
Xu Fan pressed the button to go directly to the -18th floor.
The motor gate slowly closed, and Xu Fan waved goodbye to Lord Huang Mang.
Lord Huang Mang remained humble.
As the elevator slowly descended, scenes unfolded before Xu Fan's eyes.
The elevator is open on all four sides, allowing you to see the living conditions on each floor.
Next to it are groups of pythons, including python-people.
Then came the python that grew venomous fangs and small wings on the sides of its head.
Then came the dragon, which grew out of the shape of a giant serpent with a single horn.
And at the very end lies the dwelling place of the ancient dragon race.
According to Xu Fan's prediction, the level of affluence will increase with each floor one goes down.
