Submission

The extremely sharp sword intent came towards him, and Ji Xuan suddenly felt pain all over his body, as if a blade had scratched his face.

He also felt a strong sting in his eyes and closed them involuntarily.

At the same time, since the entire process was extremely unexpected, the pain immediately eliminated 99% of the strength in his grip!

In the end, facing this ordinary punch, Long Chen swayed lightly and immediately avoided the opponent's attack.

Ji Xuan felt the failure of the attack and was stunned, about to open his eyes to see what was happening.

Swish--

a sound exploded in the air, and a cold wind hit his face. Before Ji Xuan could react, Long Chen waved his sleeve, spread his fingers, and flicked Ji Xuan directly on the face!

Boom!

There was a strong explosion, and the terrifying physical force from the innate sacred body erupted!

Although the force was small, Ji Xuan, a monk at the first level of the innate realm, was instantly sent flying. His body flew over ten meters and hit the wall. The force spread, breaking the wall and causing dense spiderweb cracks!

Ji Xuan slowly slid down the wall and collapsed on the ground.

His face was red and swollen, and he felt as if his skeleton was collapsing, the intense pain making his muscles tremble.

Within a few breaths, as energy flowed from the body, the injury eased, and the pain diminished.

Ji Xuan opened his eyes, placed his hands on the ground, suddenly stood up, raised his head, and looked at Long Chen, saying in disbelief, "Sword intent?!"

This situation completely exceeded his expectations.

He never really expected that Long Chen not only possessed the first level of cultivation in the innate realm but also understood the sword intent that many monks in the spiritual expansion realm might not be able to master!

This was beyond his imagination. After all, sword cultivators who can understand sword intent in the innate realm are undisputed geniuses, even if you look at the entire Tiandu Palace.

Even if you look at the entire Dragon Kingdom, they are rare, and it can be said that they are unique!

It's truly strange. I've never seen Long Chen's talent in swordsmanship being this terrifying before?

When Ji Xuan was in a state of shock and doubt,

Long Nian couldn't prevent himself from being shocked.

He never expected that the lord of his family could actually master sword intent!

You should know that it is not necessarily the case that a person who masters sword intent exists, even if you look at the surrounding cities.

It is said that the Sky Sect, one of the ruling sects of Nanchang Province, only their sect leader mastered such skills.

Since the family lord comprehended the meaning of the sword with his cultivation in the innate realm, he is truly a genius.

It seems everyone has greatly underestimated the patriarch's talent. Long Nian's eyes were filled with admiration.

When he looked at Long Chen's back, he couldn't help but admire him secretly.

At this time, under Ji Xuan's gaze, Long Chen appeared indifferent and said mockingly, "City lord, do you still want to test my skill?"

After the words fell, Ji Xuan looked gloomy, with fierce veins bulging on his temples on both sides.

Although he really wanted to teach the other party a profound lesson at this moment, he was not strong enough and could only grit his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

He lowered his head silently, his chest continuing to rise and fall, gritted his teeth, and said fiercely, "The chief Long is indeed a good trick! This time I was wrong, my skills are inferior to others, I admit defeat!"

A person who can bend and stretch will naturally not risk his life just for face!

Immediately afterward, Ji Xuan was unwilling to stay here for another moment. He waved his sleeve and immediately turned around, preparing to leave.

But as soon as he took a step, a voice came from behind. "Wait a moment."

Ji Xuan froze, his right foot stopping in mid-air, then turned his head and looked at Long Chen, "What? Does Chief Long still want to keep my life?"

Long Chen shook his head and said calmly, "It seems that the city lord forgot what I said earlier. I asked you if you wanted to die, and what was your answer clearly?"

Ji Xuan asked, gritting his teeth, "Long Chen, do you still want my life?"

Long Chen shook his head, "I don't want your life now, but as you know, just open your consciousness if you don't want to die."

"Long Chen, what do you want to do?"

"3"

"2"

"1"

"Okay," looking at those cold, indifferent eyes, he knew that if he didn't agree, he would die here,

"Okay." Long Chen tapped Ji Xuan on the forehead and extracted a strand of Ji Xuan's soul essence.

With this strand, he could easily control Ji Xuan's life and death.

"In the future, will the city lord transfer the commercial tax from my Long family?"

According to the laws of the Dragon Kingdom, if ordinary families run restaurants, markets, shops, escort agencies, and other business activities, the court extracts part of the business tax to fill the national treasury.

According to the previous situation, the four major families must settle their accounts every month and hand over 20% of the income from that month's operations to Ji Xuan, the city lord.

Later, Ji Xuan handed it over to Tiandu Palace in the capital, and then Tiandu Palace handed it over to the imperial court. However, after layers of transfers, it is still unknown how much money will eventually enter the national treasury.

Since this world is an extraordinary world, there are many powerful families, no less powerful than some powerful sects.

Together they can compete with the imperial court. Under these circumstances, the business tax is a heavy burden on ordinary or weak people, but for aristocratic families and the powerful, it is just decoration.

At this time, after thinking for a while, Ji Xuan said, "Half ..."

He was about to ask the Long family to hand over half of the business tax, but after noticing Long Chen's cold eyes and remembering that he was under his control, it felt like a large basin of cold water was poured on him, extinguishing his anger instantly.

Fearing he wouldn't be able to walk out the front door of the Long family, he quickly changed his words, "No... no need, the Long family will be completely exempt from future business taxes."

As soon as these words came out, Ji Xuan immediately felt relieved and light all over his body.

But then, he began to feel some pain again. The Long family today is by no means comparable to the past, especially after the destruction of the Feng family and the swallowing of the family wealth accumulated by the Feng family for hundreds of years.

The monthly income is undoubtedly astonishing. The Long family doesn't pay business taxes.

This means you can't get any oil or water from it. But if you have money, you don't have a life to spend it; life is more important...

Ji Xuan shook his head, put all these hesitations behind him, turned, and walked out the door. But as soon as he took a step, a voice came from behind.

"Don't forget, you are now a subordinate of the Long family."

Ji Xuan froze, his right foot stopping in mid-air, then continued walking, "Yes, I will keep this matter. I am a subordinate of the Long family, right?"

After a while, only Long Chen and Long Nian were left in the meeting hall.

Long Chen looked around and saw the bodies on the ground.

Without any hesitation, he immediately walked out of the hall, quickly summoned his clan members, and went to the residences of Sun, Gao, and Luo to eradicate the roots!

Facing absolute power, the two large families couldn't resist. After struggling for a while, they were destroyed by the Long family one after another!

When a group of Long family children passed through the street carrying boxes containing a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, spirit stones, land documents, and other materials, many onlookers were shocked.

"It's only been a week, and the Long family has taken action again?"

"Hiss ~ last week, the Feng family was destroyed. I wonder which family suffered such a catastrophe today?"

"I just heard someone say that the places where the Sun family, the Gao family, and the Luo family were based have become rivers of blood and corpses scattered everywhere. It must be the Long family."

"Hmph! In the past, these four major families were similar. But isn't the Long family's behavior a bit unkind?

They killed every member of the family at every turn. In one week, they killed four families totaling hundreds of lives.

It is said that this kind of behavior is the worst in demonic behavior.

No one can do much, right?"
