Out of the seven clans in the world, the Nian Clan was undoubtedly ranked first.
However, the Nian Gang was ranked first not only because of its large number of members, but also because there were many experts in the Four Seasons Altar and the 24 Solar Terms Hall.
Under the intentional spread of Lei Yuan and the others, the news that Su Xin was going to barge into the Nian Gang to look for the Altar Master of the Autumn Altar, Dong Buyi, to ask for the transportation tax had spread like wildfire.
When the sects in Jiangnan heard about it, most of them sneered and said, "Ridiculous!"
Even a branch of the Nian Gang was comparable to a first-rate sect.
The Altar Leader of the Autumn Altar, Dong Buyi, was at the peak of the Transformed God Realm and was only one step away from the Harmonious God Realm. He was ranked 61st on the Terrestrial Ranking and was one of the few experts who was ranked on the Terrestrial Ranking at the Transformed God Realm.
Where did Su Xin get the courage to ask for taxes from Dong Buyi? If it was Tie Zhan, it would be more likely.
However, Su Xin still went. He didn't let Li Bo and Huang Bingcheng follow him and went to the Nian Gang alone.
Among the seven sects in the world, almost all of them relied on their territories to make a living. At the same time, they also controlled some other businesses. However, the Nian Gang was different.
As the largest gang in the world, the only business they controlled was the transportation. It wasn't just the transportation of the Zhou Kingdom, but the transportation of the entire world!
The Nian Gang could earn money by managing the transportation of the Zhou Kingdom, but by managing the transportation of the entire world, the Nian Gang could gain the cultivation resources of the entire world.
For example, the Zhou Kingdom and the Eastern Jin Kingdom were enemies. Neither of them would sell their cultivation resources, precious ores, and weapons to the other.
However, the Nian Gang did these things secretly. After all, it controlled the transportation of the entire world. Although it was a taboo, as the largest gang in the world, who dared to do anything?
The imperial court of the Zhou Kingdom knew about this, but they couldn't do anything about it. Once they did, they would be digging up the foundation of the Nian Gang. They would definitely fight the Nian Gang to the death. Moreover, the imperial court of the Zhou Kingdom had obtained some resources from the Eastern Jin Kingdom from the Nian Gang, so they turned a blind eye to it.
Having said that, the necessary supervision was still necessary.
Therefore, there would always be inspectors from the Six Fan School at each of the Nian Gang's ports. If the Nian Gang was transporting some ordinary cultivation materials, they would ignore it. However, if there was something particularly illegal, they would seize it.
Because of this, when Su Xin found out that the Jiangnan Gang hadn't been monitoring the Nian Gang's transportation for many years, he knew he had to make a trip.
Not only did he have to deal with the Nian Gang, but he had to.
From Tie Zhan's words last time, Su Xin could tell that although the Tie family made him the chief of detectives of Jiangnan, the headquarter of Six Fan School must have some complaints about this matter.
It had been less than ten days since Su Xin took office in Jiangnan, but he had already caused so many jokes. The headquarters of Six Fan School had probably received the news by now. It was time for him to give Iron Zhan an explanation.
The Nian Gang was rich and overbearing. Even the huge transportation port was built by the gang itself. On the river, there was an endless stream of tall ships sailing on it.
The Nian Gang Autumn branch was made up of huge pavilions. The most peculiar thing was that at the top of the pavilions, every building was decorated with a withered yellow leaf, highlighting the Autumn branch's identity.

When Su Xin arrived at the entrance of the Autumn branch, a disciple of the Nian Gang immediately came over and cupped his fists. "May I ask why you are here, young hero?"
As one of the Seven Gangs, the Nian Gang was not a small sect. The disciples in the sect were not very powerful, but they were all arrogant.
As the face of the Nian Gang, this disciple welcomed and sent people off every day. Everyone he met was a big shot, and he was polite to everyone.
Su Xin said, "I'm Su Xin, the chief of detectives of Jiang Nan branch. I would like to meet the Altar Master of the Autumn branch, Dong Buyi."
As soon as he heard Su Xin introduce himself, the disciple's expression changed and he didn't know what to say.
Two days ago, someone from Jiang Nan branch's Six Fan School came. However, when he went to inform Dong Buyi, he was chased away by Dong Buyi.
He remembered that when he told Dong Buyi about the news, Dong Buyi only said one word, "Get lost."
As soon as he heard this word, he immediately knew what to do. However, he did not expect that the people of Six Fan School of Jiangnan Road would come again. Moreover, it was the chief of detectives of Six Fan School who came in person. Was Su Xin deliberately looking for trouble?
Although that was what he thought, the gang member who welcomed the guests still had to report to Dong Buyi.
After all, Dong Buyi was the chief of detectives of Jiang Nan branch appointed by the imperial court. He had to show some respect to him, right? Even if he did not want to meet Dong Buyi, he had to ask the Altar Master himself.
He excused himself to Su Xin and immediately went to inform Dong Buyi that Su Xin wanted to meet him.
Hearing that Su Xin had come, Dong Buyi's face showed a hint of playfulness. He did not understand what the young chief of detectives of Jiang Nan branch was thinking.
To be honest, Dong Buyi paid little attention to these young martial artists because he did not take them seriously at all.
As the Altar Master of the Autumn branch of the Nian Gang, he had fought his way up from the lowest level of the gang.
When Dong Buyi joined the Nian Gang in his teens, he was only qualified to learn the lowest level of martial arts when he was nearly 20 years old.
For so many years, he had never been on the Ranking List of Young Masters, nor had he competed with those talents on the Ranking List of Young Masters. In the end, he still reached his current position.
Therefore, in his opinion, the Ranking List of Young Masters was nonsense. Only a genius who grew up was a genius. If one died halfway, who would remember whether he was on the Ranking List of Young Masters or not? What glorious achievements did he have?
Although that was what he thought, Dong Buyi still asked the gang member to bring Su Xin to him.
After all, Dong Buyi was the chief of detectives of Jiang Nan branch. Since he had come personally, it would be too much if Dong Buyi did not even meet him.
After receiving the order, the gang member immediately brought Su Xin to the meeting hall of the Autumn branch respectfully.
It was also Su Xin's first time meeting the famous Altar Master of the Autumn branch.
To be honest, Dong Buyi looked very ordinary and was dressed casually as if he was an old farmer.
However, no matter who saw Dong Buyi, their first impression was not his appearance, but his majestic aura that was as deep as the sea.
The four altar masters of the Nian Gang all came from humble origins and fought their way up from the bottom. None of them were simple.
Apart from Dong Buyi, there were a few deputy altar masters in the Divine Transformation Realm in the Autumn branch. However, they were not present today, and only Dong Buyi was present.
Su Xin took the lead and cupped his hands. "Greetings, Altar Master Dong."
Dong Buyi sneered and said, "Are the juniors nowadays so impolite? I've been practicing martial arts for longer than your father, but you don't even call me senior. "
Su Xin said faintly, "If I came to see you as Su Xin on the Ranking List of Young Masters, of course, I would have to call you senior.
But now I'm here to see you as the chief of detectives of Jiangnan. Of course, we should address each other as equals. Do you think you're one generation older than the chief of detectives of the Sect of Six-Fans? "
Dong Buyi was a little surprised. This Su Xin was very bold. He even dared to play word games in front of an Essence Soul Realm Martial Artist.
However, Dong Buyi felt relieved after thinking about it. If Su Xin was a wastrel who would tremble at the sight of an Essence Soul Realm Martial Artist, he would not be able to become the chief of detectives of Jiang Nan branch even if he was the illegitimate son of the chief of detectives of Six Fan School, 'Divine Eagle' Tie Ao.
Dong Buyi looked at Su Xin with a playful look. "Then why are you here today, Chief Su?"
Su Xin said in a deep voice, "It's very simple. I hope that the Nian Gang will return the taxes to Six Fan School. From today on, the constables of Six Fan School will be in charge of the supervision of the transportation."
After hearing Su Xin's words, Dong Buyi suddenly burst into laughter. His arrogant laughter showed that he did not take Su Xin's words seriously at all. It was as if he had heard a joke.
After laughing, Dong Buyi suddenly stood up, and a fierce aura like that of a prehistoric beast rushed toward Su Xin.
"Kid, do you know what you're talking about? Do you know what it means to get back the taxes of the transportation and the supervision of Six Fan School?
It's always been us, the Nian Gang, who snatch other people's things. Others can forget about getting a single thing out of us! "
Dong Buyi's aura was so amazing that the atmosphere in the hall changed as if it would explode in the next moment.
This was the power of a Essence Soul Realm Martial Artist. He borrowed the Primordial Force of Heaven and Earth, and when he was angry, the world would change!
Under the pressure of this aura that was like a stormy sea, Su Xin silently activated the Mountain Character Scripture. His body emitted a hazy radiance that was like a Buddha's aura, but it wasn't, like a dream or an illusion, appearing extremely magnificent.
Dong Buyi was surprised to see that Su Xin could resist his aura with an unknown cultivation method.
This cultivation method was dreamy and illusory. It was originally very evil, but it had the taste of the orthodox Taoist cultivation method, which was very strange to Dong Buyi.
As a warrior of the Primordial Soul Realm, it was a compulsory course for him to study the techniques of other clans. However, he swore that he had never seen such a mystical technique before.
However, Dong Buyi did not care too much.
There were countless cultivation methods in Six Fan School, which were even more comprehensive than some top sects. It was estimated that even the Sutras Depository of Shaolin Temple could not compare with Six Fan School in terms of the number of cultivation methods.
When the Zhou Kingdom attacked the Central Plains, they took over all the cultivation methods collected by the Great Jin Dynasty. Together with the cultivation methods they obtained from destroying sects, the number must be terrifying.
As the chief of detectives of Six Fan School, Su Xin might have exchanged the cultivation methods he found by chance in the sea of books.
Seeing that his aura couldn't suppress Su Xin, Dong Buyi didn't waste any more time and withdrew his aura. Su Xin stopped chanting the Mountain Character Sutra, but what he said next made Dong Buyi explode on the spot.
"Hall Leader Dong, I want back the taxes of the transportation and the supervision of Six Fan School for your own good. Otherwise, your Nian Gang will be in big trouble!"
