There is a magnificent palace in this most prosperous city, in which lives the "goddess" of the second level of heaven. She is an extremely delicate-looking woman, who looks to be in her early thirties, tall and tall.

She is not tall and has a small frame, but she exudes a charming charm that is very attractive to men. At this moment, she was walking out of the temple quickly with a look of panic, and knelt down respectfully on the stone steps in front of the temple. Many people also followed her.

When they got here, they lay down respectfully on the ground, not even daring to raise their heads. Chu Xiao and the other three people also came, but they just hid in the corner from a distance and watched coldly what was about to happen.

Several figures teleported over, all of them were at the beginning of the divine realm. The leader was a middle-aged man in white. He looked gentle on the outside, but Chu Xiao could feel the brutal aura exuding from this man.

"Servant Yadan respectfully welcomes all the gods." It turns out that this "goddess" of the second level of the heaven realm is named Yadan. From what she said, she should know these powerful gods. They must have been here before.

here.

"Yadan, this year's tax day is here, you haven't forgotten it, right?" The man in white said loudly, as if he was talking to a slave.

"Yadan dare not forget that this year's taxes have been prepared." Yadan's expression was obviously a little panicked. She winked at an attendant in the distance, and the attendant hurried away. In a moment, a large group of people appeared.

The soldiers carried bags of grain, jars of liquid that was either oil or wine, baskets of various dried vegetables, boxes of various energy crystals, and large groups of livestock arrived. After a while,

The entire open space in front of the temple was almost full. The most infuriating thing was that there were more than a dozen young and beautiful girls who were dressed up and brought to the open space. Although they were very beautiful, they had a look in their eyes.

But he was full of panic and despair, and the tears in the corners of his eyes were still clearly visible.

The man in white took a cursory look at these things, and then became furious: "Yadan, I think you are tired of living? Didn't I tell you last year that taxes would be increased by 20% this year? Do you dare to play tricks on me?"

Yadan hurriedly bowed to the ground and said: "Please calm down God's anger and report back to God, 'Jiuquan Realm' has suffered from insect pests for three consecutive years. This year, the river overflowed in the spring and caused severe waterlogging. The grain harvest was greatly reduced. These things are already in the treasury."

Everything, except for next year’s grain, is here. Please God’s grace, I will definitely make up for next year’s harvest.”

The man in white smiled, a smile that made people shudder. "Are you kidding? Yadan, look at your people. They are all red-faced and well-dressed. You are reluctant to increase taxes on them, but you come to me to cry about poverty? You

Do you think we are easy to deal with? Or do you think you have the ability to bargain with me?" The man in white began to exude an awe-inspiring murderous aura, and many of the people lying on the ground were even frightened by this terrifying murderous aura.

Pants.

Yadan's delicate face has turned pale: "No, no, no, Yadan would never dare to have such an intention. I will increase taxes now and collect the amount within a month. Please give me another chance."

The man in white still had a smile on his face: "Okay, I have always been generous. Since you said so, I will give you a month's grace. But how should the late payment fees and interest be calculated?"

Yadan was just about to say thank you, but when he heard the interest and late payment fees, he was immediately confused: "This... this..."

"There are regulations for late payment fees. It's a thousand fees a month. I won't charge you one more." The man in white waved to the people behind him. One of them raised his hand and sprinkled water droplets all over the sky. Then the water droplets were inexplicably blown away.

The force flattened them into discs the size of plates and as thin as cicada wings, and suddenly flew towards the people lying below.

"No!" In Yadan's shrill screams, the heads of the common people were cut off by discs, and the surroundings suddenly became chaotic. The common people ran away crying, but they were still being harvested continuously.

In just a moment, the square in front of the temple was filled with corpses, and blood flowed into rivers. All the living people ran away. The water god took back all the water droplets with a wave of his hand, and then stretched out his hand to grab it in the air. Countless people

The heads flew over and were piled neatly on the steps of the palace, forming a large black mass. Yadan was stunned, looking at the countless heads in front of him with blank eyes.

"I keep my word. If you don't believe me, just count it. There will definitely not be one more head among a thousand people. Even if the late fee is paid, what about the interest?" The man in white still smiled and looked at Ya, who was kneeling on the ground in a daze.

Dan.

Behind the corner, Chu Xiao and Yilan were trembling with anger, and they were about to rush out, but Lin Luo sent a message to them with a look of helplessness: "You see, this world is originally about the jungle, who will eat the strong?"

Whoever has a bigger fist can do whatever he wants, and it’s the same in the God Realm. This kind of thing happens every day, and you can’t kill him innocently.”

The man in white leaned down, raised Yadan's chin with his fingers and said, "Why, you are sad when your people die? Then should your people bear the interest or should you personally bear it? You make your choice.

"

Yadan raised his head and looked at the man in white: "I will bear the interest myself."

"Very good, we won't go too far, let alone take your life. As long as you take turns to accompany us. But we must make it clear first. If you don't cooperate at all, we will kill you a hundred times.

People." The man in white had a lewd smile on his face, and several people behind him also laughed.

Yadan's face was ashen, and a look of determination appeared in his eyes. The man in white quickly said: "You are the backbone of this plane. If you have something wrong with you, not even one of the tens of millions of people in this small place will survive."

It won’t work.” Obviously, he was afraid that Yadan would risk his life to protect his innocence, and would use the lives of all the civilians in this plane to threaten her into submission.

"Let's go, let's go to your bedroom. We can't do things in broad daylight, right?" The smile on the man in white's face was disgusting, but Yadan's eyes were full of despair. She didn't dare to resist, because even if it was her

A slight hesitation may cost a hundred fresh lives. She stood up and walked into the palace. The man in white followed with two other people, leaving two people to count in front of the palace stone steps.

"Taxes" and income bracelets, as well as the group of young girls, had already collapsed on the ground, crying and trembling with fear.

Chu Xiao calmed down at this moment. He looked at Lin Luo and said word by word: "Perhaps the hearts of the gods in this world are indeed so cold. But this Yadan can help a group of civilians who are regarded as ants by others.

Sacrifice yourself. I know that we cannot kill innocent people in this world, but today, I just want to be innocent before my eyes."

Lin Luo's eyes changed when she looked at Chu Xiao. In the past, she had a pure love between a man and a woman for Chu Xiao, but now, a kind of respect and admiration arose in her heart. "Yes, you are my big brother.

Hero." Yilan patted Chu Xiao's shoulder gently and looked at Linluo, as if waiting for her to express her stance.

"I finally understand why so many people are willing to follow you in your conquests. Maybe you can really be like a breeze, blowing away the filth and turbidity of the God Realm for countless years. You two have been fighting side by side for many years.

, I will also join this time to show you what I am capable of. Don’t forget, I was also a fierce general galloping on the battlefield back then." A rare smile appeared on Linluo's face, and she truly felt that as long as there was someone,

With Chu Xiao's existence, there would be no haze in my life and no darkness in my heart.

Yadan and the man in white have been in the palace for a while. The two people left outside have also collected their things and are teasing the girls. Space treasures are not something ordinary people can possess in the God Realm. They must not be able to take them away easily.

These girls and herds of livestock, but I guess the man in white must have a way, otherwise why would he come here to collect taxes?

A gust of breeze blew through the square outside the palace, and two wind needles had quietly shot into the eyebrows of the two powerful men in the divine realm. One of them immediately collapsed and fell, while the other turned into a phantom and grabbed the road.

escape.

"It's the 'external incarnation method'. His body has been destroyed, don't let his soul escape." Lin Luo sent a message to Chu Xiao, who smiled slightly and did not see any movement from him, but the soul that escaped

It had stopped, and his eyes were full of numbness and confusion. Then the soul began to be illusory and dissipated, and in the blink of an eye there was no trace. Chu Xiao's soul attack trick "Dream" is also for the soul of a strong person in the divine realm.

Able to kill people silently and invisible. Yilan took off all the bracelets on the corpse and made a silent gesture to the group of girls paralyzed on the ground.

The three of them rushed into the palace quickly. The envoys here had long since escaped without a trace. They followed the scent of the men in white and cautiously pursued them. The palace was very large. They climbed through several corridors, then went upstairs, and walked along the corridor.

There was a huge door inlaid with gold at the end of the corridor. Chu Xiao knew that the man in white and the others were behind the door.

At this time, there was no point in hiding anymore. Chu Xiao kicked the door open without hesitation and rushed in with Yilan and Linluo.

What he saw in front of him made Chu Xiao furious. Linluo and Yilan even turned their heads and refused to look directly. They saw Yadan's white body without a piece of hair, and her hands were tied and hung under the beam. Two naked people.

The gods-realm men were sandwiching her one after another, shaking her up and down. Yadan's face was covered with tears, but she did not cry. There was no trace of the aura of a living person in her eyes, and she was so turbid that she looked like a walking corpse.

The man in white now has no clothes to speak of, and is drinking from a wine bottle. What is sitting under him is not a chair or a bench, but a naked man kneeling and whispering like a dog.

The trembling maid actually had a fluffy dog ​​tail stuck behind her. Her fair body was covered with scratches and bruises. She had obviously suffered inhuman abuse. A snow-white pet puppy died on the coffee table.

His tail had been pulled off, and his mouth was filled with blood and foam.

Seeing Chu Xiao and the others rushing in, the three beasts were stunned for a moment, and the next moment they rushed over with ferocious faces. "Damn beasts!" Chu Xiao had never wanted to kill someone like this before, and no one wanted to kill anyone.

I didn't see how he drew the sword, but I saw a flash of blood-red ripples in space, and the heads of the two beasts flew out. Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining men in white planned to capture Yadan as a hostage, but

He was not as fast as Chu Xiao. Before he could reach Yadan's side, Chu Xiao grabbed his hair. The latter suddenly exerted force and forced him to kneel on the ground. Both of his kneecaps were shattered.

The clicking sound was unusually harsh.

"Hero, spare your life, I have something to say!" The man in white screamed heartbreakingly and begged for mercy, but when Chu Xiao grabbed him, he forcibly sealed the energy around him in a domineering way, and did not give any help at all.

He had no chance to play tricks, otherwise how could the fragile floor smash his kneecap? Chu Xiao didn't say anything, and he didn't intend to stop. He grabbed the arm of the man in white and squeezed hard, only to hear a "click".

One of his left arms was suddenly pinched off and fell directly to the ground.

A blood-curdling howl sounded, and then the man in white continued to beg for mercy: "You can't kill me! I belong to Cat Shark, you can't kill me!"

Lin Luo's message rang in Chu Xiao's mind: "Cat Shark is the leader of a huge pirate force. He used to be a subordinate of the 'Eight-faced Shura', but was kicked out by Cheng Ze for some reason. That guy is ruthless and does all kinds of evil.

, it didn’t take long to form a team, and its power is getting stronger and stronger, but now I don’t know what happened.”

"This is easy to handle." Chu Xiao said with a murderous look. The hand holding the man in white's hair was pressed on the top of his head, and he used the most cruel technique in the "Witch Code" - "Soul Search". After a moment, the man in white was

Foaming at the mouth, he fell to the ground, his whole body twitching. Although he was still alive, his soul was permanently damaged. Now all his memories have been reviewed by Chu Xiao. Regarding the situation of the cat shark, Chu Xiao

Basically we all know it.

Yilan had already put Yadan down and found a nightgown for her to put on. The frightened maid was also helped up by Linluo and put on a bed sheet.

"Who are you?" Yadan regained some consciousness, but the look in his eyes was still ashen.

"When the road is unfair, draw your sword to help. Now you can take revenge." Chu Xiao handed her the Hanying Knife. At this moment, Yadan's eyes suddenly burst into flames of revenge, filling them like evil ghosts rushing out of hell.

He was full of murderous intent and ferocity. In the flash of the sword, the man in white was chopped into pieces by him, and the whole bedroom was filled with the smell of blood. After taking revenge, Yadan calmed down and looked at the long knife in his hand, his eyes filled with tears.

It is a life without love.

"Do you want to commit suicide?" Chu Xiao asked calmly, but it made Yadan tremble. "I admire the 'goddess' who sacrificed herself for her people just now. Although she is only the second level of heaven, but in my eyes

In my eyes, she is definitely worthy of being called a god. Think about your subjects, what will be their fate without your protection?"

"You have seen that I can't protect them. I can't even protect myself, so what qualifications do I have to protect them?" Yadan shed tears in his eyes.

"No, you sacrificed yourself. Many people have been saved by you. We took action because of you. Although you are not strong, for your people, you are the only one who is truly willing to protect them.

Man, you have ruled here for many years, you should know how to control and make choices, so don’t worry about the cat shark." Chu Xiao said.

Yadan looked at Chu Xiao in surprise. After a long time, she suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Chu Xiao several times. When she raised her head, her eyes had regained their perseverance and brilliance, and she became her former self again.

That goddess.

"Xiaoqing, come here." Yadan waved to the maid. The maid who was still sobbing in shock walked over tremblingly. Yadan hugged her and said softly: "Xiaoqing, my good sister, I am the one who is responsible for this."

After all this happened to you, I promise you that I will take good care of all your family members in the future, and will always remember the sacrifices you made for me and the 'Jiuquan Realm'." With that, there was a "click" on Xiaoqing's neck.
