Chapter 1157 Shameless
Seeing that no one dared to speak up, Soul Chasing Ghost Lord stood up and said, "I just said that I would recommend a person with strong strength and high moral character to be the leader. Do you believe this Ghost King, Senior?"
Not to mention the former leader of the Ten Kings Hall like the One-Horned Ghost King, even if it was a random Nascent Soul cultivator who came to the Fallen Ghost Abyss to be the leader, few people would dare to stand up and oppose it. Naturally, no one was unconvinced at this time. Soul Controlling Ghost Lord even knelt down at the feet of the One-Horned Ghost King and said, "Senior One-Horned Ghost King, I was blind before and offended you. Please forgive me."
The prestige that should be established has been established, and some sweetness must be given. The combination of kindness and force is the way to control people. The horned ghost king said: "You don't have to do this, Yuhun Mingzun. Ignorance is not a crime. As long as you work hard in the future, I will naturally not treat you unfairly. Apart from other things, at least I have some experience in the condensation of the Nascent Soul of ghost cultivators. Just a few pointers will benefit you a lot."
The horned ghost king was telling the truth. In cultivation, it is much easier to have someone to guide you than to have no one to guide you. At least you can avoid many detours. The seven people present were all ninth-level Jindan cultivators. Breaking through the Nascent Soul was an imminent matter for them, especially the Soul-Chasing Ghost Zun and Yuhun Mingzun. Their cultivation had long reached the perfection of the Jindan, but they just couldn't find a suitable method.
I thought that this was the end of my life, and there was no hope of breaking through the Nascent Soul. I didn't expect to meet the horned ghost king at this time. If there was such an experienced senior to guide me, maybe there would be hope of breaking through the Nascent Soul in this life.
As long as you become a Nascent Soul cultivator, you will be the top figure in the entire Ancient Wind Continent. Where can you not go in the future? No longer have to stay in a small place like the Fallen Ghost Abyss.
When he thought of this, Yuhun Mingzun was so excited that he could not restrain himself. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply, saying: "Thank you for your magnanimity, Senior Ghost King. I am grateful. In the future, I will follow your lead. Whoever dares to disrespect you, I will be the first to not forgive him. In addition, in front of you, I dare not call you Mingzun. In the future, you can just call me Yuhun."
Yuhun Mingzun's rapid change of face opened the eyes of others, but no one felt disgusted. Facing a great senior like the One-horned Ghost King, no matter how you behave, it seems to be the right thing to do. Some people even secretly regretted why they reacted so slowly and let Yuhun Mingzun get ahead?
Although Wuliang Saint and Jade-faced Bodhisattva are immortal cultivators and have little to do with ghost cultivation, the One-horned Ghost King is a ghost cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage after all. It is always good to learn from the experience of Nascent Soul ghost cultivators. It is hard to guarantee that you will have a breakthrough when you have an epiphany.
Although the Soul-Chasing Ghost Lord had expected that no one would stop the One-Horned Ghost King after he showed up, he was still shocked by the influence of the One-Horned Ghost King when he saw everyone bowing down. Even a troublemaker like the Soul-Controlling Ghost Lord had no objection, and things would not change. The Soul-Chasing Ghost Lord said to the One-Horned Ghost King, "Senior, when do you think the Alliance Leader's Inauguration Ceremony will be held?"
Who knew that the One-Horned Ghost King waved his hand and said, "I don't like to meddle in other people's business. Let's forget about the inauguration ceremony. If the people below are really obedient, it doesn't matter whether there is an inauguration ceremony or not." Soul-Controlling Ghost Lord hurriedly said, "Senior, you are right. It is people like us who have no confidence in our own strength, so we will use the inauguration ceremony to increase our deterrence. The Ghost King has a huge influence, so naturally he doesn't need such means."
Looking at the shameless appearance of the Soul-Controlling Ghost Lord, the Soul-Seeking Ghost Lord next to him was very disgusted and snorted coldly, "I don't know who was saying that just now It's the first time for everyone to form an alliance. We have no experience, so it's inevitable that some mistakes will occur. We need to be more cautious. "
Seeing that Soul-seeking Ghost Venerable was trying to sabotage his own plan, Soul-controlling Dark Venerable couldn't refute in front of the One-horned Ghost King, so he could only smile and say, "Others must be more cautious if they can't convince the public. Senior Ghost King is the leader of the alliance, so there's no need to be so cautious. Since the inauguration ceremony of the leader doesn't need to be held, Senior Ghost King is now our official leader. Didn't we say before that each family should contribute 20% of the tax revenue in their respective areas for the alliance to use? I think 15% is still too little, so each family should contribute 30%. Only in this way can we express our respect for Senior Ghost King. "
Soul-controlling Dark Venerable has already said so, even if others are unwilling, it's not easy to raise objections at this time, so they all said that as the leader of the Fallen Ghost Abyss, Senior Ghost King must have more wealth in his hands, the better, it seems that only in this way can the Fallen Ghost Abyss have better development.
The current One-horned Ghost King is naturally not the One-horned Ghost King who was the master of the first hall of the Ten Kings Hall. He is extremely poor. Apart from the Soul Gathering Flag given to him by Qingyang, he only has the Object Collection Talisman he got when he killed Shi Ruyu two years ago. This is seriously inconsistent with his previous identity. Therefore, the One-horned Ghost King's demand for various resources is the more the better. However, he is a newcomer and has the demeanor of a senior master. He needs to maintain a certain demeanor and cannot be too ugly when eating.
Each overlord has many people to support. Most of the taxes collected every year are spent on this, leaving only about 30% for themselves. If they take 30% themselves, they will have nothing left. It's okay for a short time, but if it takes a long time, someone will definitely rebel.
So after some refusal, the One-horned Ghost King still insisted on setting the amount of tax to be paid at 15%. However, when paying for the first time, everyone will pay the 15% tax for the previous three years at one time. This is also a proactive proposal by everyone, and the One-horned Ghost King can't refuse it.
As the overlords of the Fallen Ghost Abyss, they all had no shortage of spirit stones, and most of their accumulated wealth was carried with them. Since they had already decided to pay taxes, the sooner the better. Everyone handed over their spirit stones and underworld stones on the spot, and some even gave some greeting gifts.
This was a huge fortune. For Wuliang Mountain, they could collect about 200,000 spirit stones in taxes a year. One and a half percent was nearly 40,000, and almost 110,000 in three years. The seven families collected all of them, and the total amount reached more than 700,000. Back then, Qingyang spent only a few hundred thousand spirit stones on purchasing materials for refining the Golden Pill, which he had accumulated for decades. As a result, the One-horned Ghost King just showed up and received several times more spirit stones than him. Many ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators outside probably have this amount of wealth.
After talking about the tax issue, Yuhun Mingzun also suggested that everyone work together to build a cave for the One-horned Ghost King. Everyone strongly recommended their own Taoist temples. As the saying goes, those who are close to the water get the moon first. If the One-horned Ghost King lived with them, wouldn't he be able to ask for advice often in the future?
