C4253 The Price for the Aftermath.
However, under the watchful eyes of everyone, she still held it in. She could not lose face.
The three girls and Ah Silver all looked over with curiosity and doubt.
Seeing this, Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes. "What is this?"
When Xiao Long saw this, his face also became serious. He looked deeply at Mu Hu, and his heart was filled with admiration. He was worthy of being one of the few Immortal Realm experts in the Immortal Artifact Sect. His attacks were truly ruthless.
The weakest cultivators among these dozens of corpses were at the Prominent Divine Stage, and there were two Tribulation Immortals. It was already very sincere of him to give them to Chen Xiao as an explanation.
In addition, the Flood Dragon from the river had already killed three Tribulation Immortals. The price was not small.
Mu Hu's face was cold as he said, "They are all accomplices and spies that the Yi Clan planted in the Endless Sea. They were uprooted by me. Chen Xiao, what do you think?"
Seeing this, Chen Xiao's tensed expression eased up a little. He said, "I can see Elder Mu Hu's sincerity. It seems that it was indeed a misunderstanding before."
As he spoke, Chen Xiao waved his right hand, and a green flame descended. In the blink of an eye, the corpses on the ground were all burned to ashes and disappeared into nothingness.
"It's much cleaner like this." Chen Xiao chuckled and said.
Mu Hu was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud. "Alright, it's settled. Sigh, I didn't expect that the Flood Dragon would actually eat the outsiders. Its fate should be like this."
Chen Xiao did not answer, but changed the topic.
There were some things that everyone could understand. Since Mu Hu had made such a big decision and paid such a high price, he would not let this matter go.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go and drink together."
"Alright, let's drink. One drink and we will stop."
...
On the other side, while Chen Xiao and Mu Hu were drinking and chatting happily, a battle was going on in a dark corner.
"Hurry up, hurry up. Move faster. Didn't you finish today?"
"Work harder. Don't be lazy. If anyone dares to be lazy, I won't let him go."
"Hurry up, yes, you, you. Go and carry that demon beast over."
On the seaside of Tianhai Island, on the bustling dock, the people were rolling and bustling like boiling water.
A few fishing boats that were emitting a bloody smell were lined up on the surface of the sea, quietly waiting to unload the goods.
The noisy voices rose and fell, and the dock seemed to be in chaos, but it was still orderly. Everything was going according to plan.
At this moment, on a huge fishing boat, it was like a small mountain standing on the sea.
On the deck, the corpses of cultivators and demon beasts were mixed together. It was messy and disgusting.
In the cabin, it was a different scene. It was extremely luxurious and enjoyable. It was extravagant and extravagant, made of gold and jade, as if they were in a heavenly palace.
It could be seen that the owner of this ship was enjoying himself.
However, the atmosphere in the cabin was a bit off.
"Xiao An and the manager, this is not right. Why is it that after your ship sailed out of the sea, the harvest is so little? It's half the harvest of the other harvest ships. Please explain it to me."
In the hall, a Heavenly Sea Island guard wearing armor coldly stared at Xiao An and the manager.
In the huge cabin, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Xiao An and pushed away the charming female cultivator in his arms and stood up. He cupped his hands and explained, "Ah, my lord, please listen to me. We were too unlucky and didn't get anything. We really lost a lot."
"Hmph, is that so?"
The guard obviously didn't believe Xiao An and the manager's words. He had seen many things like this and was used to it.
Since Violet Cloud City had defeated the Dragon Palace, the rights to harvest and hunt demon beasts in the sea naturally belonged to the Heavenly Sea Island.
According to the decree issued by Qin Daoyuan, if a harvest ship wanted to go out to harvest sea beasts, they must have a harvest order. Furthermore, the harvest order was one-time use. Once they went out to harvest, they must apply for a new harvest order. Violators would be severely punished.
Moreover, after the harvest ship sailed out of the sea, they must sell the things they harvested on the Heavenly Sea Island and not sell them to the outside world.
As a result, the entire chain was firmly controlled by Violet Cloud City.
The Purple Cloud City side would get a big share of the profits, and the participating parties would also be able to get a little bit of the soup and make a small profit. It was a pretty good deal.
However, the benefits made people jealous. Some people abided by the rules, and some people did not follow the rules and did things as they pleased.
If the sea beasts and fish harvested from the Endless Sea were not sold on the Heavenly Sea Island but transported to other places, such as White Stone City or Heaven Battling City, they would be worth a lot of money, and it would be enough to make a big profit.
Thus, in order to make more money and gain more benefits, many cultivators took risks and did not mind breaking the rules.
The guard knew this very well, and his expression was extremely ugly. “Steward Xiao, we both know what’s going on. We’ve always been at peace before, but this time, you’ve gone a little overboard.”
Even though he was threatened, Xiao Anhe still had a blank look on his face.
“What? What’s going on? What did you say? I don’t know what you’re talking about. I abide by the rules and abide by the rules of the Heavenly Sea Island. I didn’t take any risks at all. I just had bad luck.”
Obviously, Xiao Anhe did not want to give in and continued to pretend that he did not know anything.
The guard was a little angry at this, and he berated, “Xiao Anhe, since you’ve said so, don’t blame me for not showing you any mercy. I suspect that you’ve secretly stored the fish. You need to be searched.”
To secretly store the fish harvested from the fishing boat and then sell them elsewhere to earn huge profits.
It seemed that this was something that could not be blamed. The only loss was the loss of Violet Cloud City.
In the recent period of time, Qin Daoyuan had issued a death order to investigate this matter.
0
As one of the guards, he had to carry out the order. Moreover, he did not have a good impression of the Xiao Clan.
After he finished speaking, the guard wore a mocking expression as he slowly approached Xiao An and.
"Search him? You dare!"
Xiao An and was furious as he cursed.
In fact, he was a little flustered in his heart. However, as long as he thought of Elder Xiao Heng backing him up, he became firm again.
"You are just a mere guard, an early stage Prominent Divine Realm cultivator. You dare to make an enemy out of my Xiao Clan? If you dare to search me, you should know the consequences. Hmph."
Xiao An and turned to threaten him. This was also his greatest confidence.
"This…"
The guard hesitated a little. Indeed, it was as Xiao An and said. The Xiao Clan was powerful, and it was not something a mere soldier like him could provoke.
Seeing that the other party was a little lax, Xiao Anhe laughed and said, "That's right. Wouldn't it be fine if you just turn a blind eye? It's better for everyone to be well together. Come, this is your share."
As he spoke, Xiao Anhe took out a large bag of immortal jades and threw it to the guard, attempting to buy him over.
