    Chapter Index

    There are thirteen states in Da Qian.

    The state is different and prosperous.

    For example, Tianling Prefecture, where martial arts schools flourish, Nanyang Prefecture, where great scholars of the Way are often found, and Gangdao Prefecture, where the waterways are well-connected.

    The taxes of the thirteen states are an important pillar to keep the Great Qian running.

    It’s a matter of course.

    Officials and the people, boat and water, the survival of the two, all rely on taxes in the maintenance.

    Just.

    Is it really necessary to levy taxes for a situation like Qingniu Town, like all the villages and towns in similar situations along the borders of Daqian, these existences that don’t belong to any one of the states?

    Believe any normal person, even a six year old child.

    It is also possible to conclude that the levy should not be imposed.

    But Da Qian did it anyway.

    The answer is obvious, the high and mighty Emperor of Da Qian doesn’t care about the life and death of these border towns and doesn’t even station his army here.

    It is also funny that the Daqian army, which is supposed to protect the human race, is stationed at the gateway to the Daqian abdomen.

    Hold back the demons that try to cross the border.

    At the same time, it holds back every civilian trying to escape from hell.

    Wu Ying Xue felt her throat a little dry, like dust and sand scraped the land, dry and rough: “How can ……”

    “Are the people here, are they saying that they can only live on their own?!”

    An overly bizarre truth that completely shatters the inner trinity.

    The 16-year-old girl jerked to her feet.

    She braced her hands on the rough wooden table and leaned forward slightly, looking at Department Xu with trembling eyes full of shock.

    “How can such a thing be, there are obviously so many people here!”

    “Not only is there no protection, but there are levies, so how can anyone be alive in such a situation!”

    The sunlight from outside the house cast in, illuminating the plain white skin of her arms and amplifying the trembling.

    Ten fingers gripped the surface of the table tightly, the force synchronized to the body, and with each minute, each second, the red and white robes bulged and shook up and down.

    Ka-chow–

    Ka-chow–

    That’s the broken simplicity of a teenage girl’s triple vision.

    It was the sound of a wooden table being scratched with finger power.

    In Da Qian, becoming a martial artist is a privilege, such as being exempt from certain taxes.

    At the same time, a martial artist’s own great strength was the greatest base to face demons.

    It’s just that reality is often cruel.

    The qi and blood martial arts of the martial arts world, compared to other transcendental systems, was already very easy to start, but there was still a threshold, not everyone could achieve something, and even more so, not everyone had a good gong method.

    In this world, the vast majority of people could only cultivate the most common Nurturing Yuan Gong.

    It’s a lousy gongfu.

    Anyone, in any location, can find this book, officially publicized by Daqian, a basic gong method to simply run the qi and blood to grow qi in daily life.

    That’s all. That’s all.

    Wanting to become a true martial artist, wanting to avoid the levies of Da Qian, wanting to have the strength to resist the demons.

    It was extremely difficult for the people of Green Oxford.

    “This world is full of falsehoods, only pain cannot lie”, in the face of the young girl’s incredulous expression, Department Xu did not answer directly, but instead reminded the young girl, allowing her to perceive the truth on her own.

    What you see with your own eyes may be an illusion.

    What you hear with your own ears could be a hallucination.

    But the pain that is hidden in people, in things, in the withering silence, cannot be faked.

    Wu Yingxue had also been in Qingniu Town for some time.

    Even though she had never set foot outside of the Hsu family home, that didn’t mean that she couldn’t observe the strange little border town.

    She had seen, with her own eyes, the silly way in which Ah Niu had jumped for joy when he had received the demon’s flesh and blood from the hands of the Xu system, and she had also seen the disoriented way in which a mother had held her baby in a trance, not knowing what the future would hold for her.

    Wu Ying Xue was completely silent.

    The young 16-year-old Sheriff, a lotus flower rooted in clear water since childhood, sees filthy black mud for the first time.

    “Thank you for your teachings ……”

    “What I said earlier was just stupid ……”

    Wu Ying Xue apologized to Xu Xiang.

    With chopsticks in hand, she picked up the demon meat she had spat out earlier, chewing in silence and swallowing in earnest.

    A mouthful of rice paste and a bite of demon meat.

    Do not stop moving until the bottom of the bowl is empty.

    “Hoo–!” , the dragon tattooed big gun was held by the smooth and delicate palm, the young girl alone carried the gun towards the courtyard, collapsing and shaking and stabbing and picking, the gun danced fast, her heart declared her anger.

    With the sound of the whistling wind, the leaves that fell in the courtyard swept up and flew.

    Dance with that fiery figure.

    “Although her temperament is a bit quick and naïve, it’s rare to have a bare-bones new”, Xu system silently chucked a bite of braised demon meat, his heart’s appraisal of the young girl a bit higher.

    It is normal for people to make mistakes, especially past experiences that often limit one’s thinking.

    Wu Yingxue can recognize his mistakes.

    And make a move to spit out the meat and re-gulp it.

    It was enough to prove that she was not simply a hothouse flower, much less a hypocritical commodity who verbally played along.

    “But how should I put it, the world is as black as a crow?”

    The Xu system’s teeth chewed on the dark meat, lubricated by saliva, and the disassembled shreds of meat were swallowed with difficulty down his throat, dropping into his stomach with a gurgle.

    Demon meat is really bad.

    But the current town of Greenbrier couldn’t be in better shape.

    As Xu System ate, he pondered the relationship between Da Qian and the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

    “This sacrifice of a portion of the population is almost of the same nature as the Ellenson incident in the wizarding world, to make a quick connection.”

    “No, rather, an even worse practice.”

    “The gods don’t create disasters as often as they should in order to demonstrate the preciousness of their miracles, and in my last simulation, the destruction of a city like Ellenson City only happened once.”

    “The process of the gods creating disasters, manifesting their power, and rewarding them with divine grace is often done once every few hundred or thousand years.”

    “More often than not, the gods of the magical world are indeed the guardians of mankind.”

    “He sustains the world, being Himself the manifestation of order, and forms a coexistence with mankind.”

    “But the world of martial arts is different ……”

    System Xu put down his chopsticks and frowned slightly, “In the eyes of the demons, people are just pure food and have no status to speak of.”

    “There might be some kind of agreement between Da Qian and the demons.”

    “Or maybe it’s simply tacit understanding.”

    “In short, all the people living on the borders were abandoned by Daqian early on, becoming a reserve of flesh and blood for the demons.”

    “Only this can explain a series of bewildering operations in Daqian.”

    Finish eating.

    The Xu system walked out of the room.

    The first person she saw was Wu Ying Xue, who was dancing with a fierce and powerful spear.

    Then, it was behind Wu Ying Xue, the dark mountain range that was obviously extremely far away from each other, but revealed a deep sense of oppression.

    Towering mountains, one after another, stood in vicissitudes, rolling together, like a stunning black dragon lying on the ground, bowing its spine to encircle the territory of all the ethnic groups.

    “What a fucked up world ……”
