The word "tax" was very sensitive.
Usually, everyone was willing to pay the tax to Tianzheng city because they could get protection from Tianzheng city. Big forces could also get a lot of resources because the people below them would also give them resources. This was a food chain, but now they were not willing to pay the tax because no one was willing to listen to them. Tianzheng city had lost its popular support. Even if they paid the tax now, the people below them would not be convinced.
However, no one spoke.
Because they were waiting for Xiatian's response.
Now Xiatian was the number one master in the wilderness. Everyone was convinced by Xiatian. If Xiatian paid the tax, then they would pay it. If Xiatian did not pay it, then they would not pay it.
When he heard this, Xiatian finally understood the purpose of the female city lord calling him to preside over the wedding. She was obviously using his reputation to swindle people here.
The female city lord saw that no one responded, so she said with a smile: "Since everyone is not talking, then everyone knows about this matter. Then I don't need to say more. Everyone can eat."
She was obviously trying to get away with it. If no one stood up after he said that, then she would say that everyone had already agreed to it. However, if anyone stood up, then it would be obvious that they were the first to stand up, and the female city lord would definitely take revenge on that person.
At the same time, everyone's eyes were all looking at Xiatian.
"Let me say it first. Whoever wants to pay the tax can pay it. My Tianzheng city will not pay it." Xiatian said lazily.
As soon as these words came out.
The big sects and big cities on the scene all breathed a sigh of relief. They were worried that Xiatian and the female city lord would collude. Then they could only accept their fate. After all, today Xiatian was the presiding officer of the female city lord's wedding. These people present did not know what Xiatian was thinking, so they could only wait for Xiatian to speak.
Now that Xiatian said this, these people all understood. Although Xiatian was the host of today's wedding, he obviously did not associate himself with the female City Lord.
"Oh right, I forgot to mention earlier. Uncle Xia has contributed a lot to the wilderness, so Spirit Heaven City's taxes will be waived for life." The female castellan hurriedly said.
To win people's hearts.
Everyone could hear that the City Lord was trying to buy people's hearts. At the same time, she was telling them that Xiatian didn't want to pay because she was already exempt from paying taxes. Now that the City Lord had taken the lead, Xiatian, the people below suddenly became headless flies. The current situation had once again returned to how it was before.
"I'm sorry, I don't need you to waive the taxes. I didn't even think about paying them. And I don't understand, why should your Tianzheng City collect the money?" Just when everyone didn't know what to do, Xiatian spoke again.
Under normal circumstances, Xiatian was too lazy to meddle in other people's business. But these people had helped him build Spirit Heaven City, so he had to say a few words for them. He also understood that these people really didn't dare to offend Tianzheng City. Although the Spirit Heaven City Lord was dead, the foundation of Tianzheng City was still there. If Tianzheng City really wanted to destroy their city, then they were really afraid.
As soon as Xiatian's words came out, the female city lord's face turned cold. She had tried her best to give Xiatian benefits, but Xiatian actually went against her, which made her very unhappy. She understood that if Xiatian didn't speak, then most of the people present could only accept their fate. Because compared with life and power, money was not so important.
But now, Summer was actually the first to stand out for these people.
Then she had to deal with Xiatian first, otherwise these people would never submit. But it was not so easy to deal with Xiatian.
"Uncle Xia, what are you talking about? This rule has been in place for a long time." The female city lord hurriedly said.
"Rules are made by the strong, and followed by the weak." Xiatian lightly said. As soon as he said this, everyone felt that what he said was the truth.
"Our Tianzheng City has the recognition of a Level 6 City. We can communicate with a Level 6 City. If there are any difficulties, the Level 6 City will help." The female city lord used a Level 6 City as a backer. After all, a Level 6 City was a legend in the Wasteland.
Even a Three Cauldron Master was just a floating cloud in front of a Level 6 City.
"Oh? Is that so? Didn't our Spirit Heaven Mountain pay before? Didn't the residents of Spirit Heaven Mountain pay? Why didn't your Tianzheng City help when they were massacred by Three Cauldron Masters? We also haven't seen anyone from a Level 6 City. Could it be that your Level 6 City is just a bluff? "As soon as Xiatian said this, the female city lord was directly pushed into the limelight.
After all, the matter of Spirit Heaven Mountain was there, and the whole Wasteland knew about it.
"That matter was just a misunderstanding. I promise that it will never happen again in the future." The female city lord firmly said.
"Misunderstanding? You want tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of people to die because of a misunderstanding? Then your word 'misunderstanding' is really worth a lot of money. Also, I want to know how you can guarantee that this kind of thing will never happen again in the future. " Xiatian didn't want to shed all pretense of cordiality before, but yesterday, the female city lord's husband came up and gave Xiatian a show of strength. This was obviously to make Xiatian behave today and not stand out. They also had Three Cauldron Masters.
But would Xiatian be afraid of him?
If he was scared by his imposing manner, then Xiatian would not have challenged Ah 'Bao with the strength of a Second Cauldron Master.
The female city lord thought that she was smart, but she had already angered Xiatian.
If she didn't let her husband go and give Xiatian a show of strength, then maybe Xiatian would give Bishop Cao some face, and then he wouldn't have said some things. But since they thought that Xiatian was easy to bully, then Xiatian would let them see what it meant to be strong.
"Humph." The female city lord's husband gave a cold snort.
"What do you mean by 'humph'? I remember that I should be your wife's savior, right? If it weren't for me, she would have been killed by Ah 'Bao. But when you saw me for the first time, you showed your ridiculous imposing manner, what's wrong? Are you trying to scare me? Do you think you can scare me? "Xiatian looked at the female city lord's husband and said.
Originally, his cold snort was just to express his dissatisfaction, and at the same time to give Xiatian a warning, but this time, it could be said that he had completely angered Xiatian.
Xiatian was originally full of anger, but now that the other party had shed all pretense of cordiality, what was there to be afraid of?
"You are forcing me to kill you." The female city lord's husband said.
