After Gu Tianyuan left, Gu Meng threw a token to Ye Mo and said, "Patriarch of the Dragon Blood Sect, this is the token of the Baoyue City Castellan. With this token, you can mobilize the guards of the Baoyue City. But these guards will only help you collect taxes and maintain order in the city."
Ye Mo took the token and nodded. The so-called control of Bao Yue City was equivalent to Ye Mo becoming the City Lord of Bao Yue City. However, as the City Lord, he only had some power in Bao Yue City. If anyone dared to cause trouble in Bao Yue City, Ye Mo would give the order and the guards of Bao Yue City would immediately kill them.
Of course, that wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was the taxes. Baoyue City's transactions were huge, and all of the Tong Prefecture's sects' businesses were in Baoyue City. Other than the Baoyue Pavilion, all of the shops and restaurants in Baoyue City had to pay taxes. Other than the Baoyue City guards' monthly stipends, the rest went to the Dragonblood Sect.
Ye Mo had successfully seized control of Bao Yue City. He had truly risen to the top. The other sects were secretly shocked when they saw this, but they did not do anything.
Logically speaking, after Ye Mo successfully seized control of Baoyue City, he would basically be able to become one of the top powers in the Tong Province. These sects would all come forward to curry favor with him. However, when Ye Mo received the token, the experts from the sects remained unmoved. Only Fairy Huo Yun cupped her hands and congratulated Ye Mo. Evidently, they knew that after Ye Mo seized control of Baoyue City, he would face endless revenge from the Tianyuan Sect.
The Ancient Spider Mother's clone was already so powerful, so no one could imagine just how powerful her true body was. Now that the Dragonblood Sect had offended the Heavenly Abyss Sect, they were doomed without a doubt. There was no chance of survival. No one would be foolish enough to curry favor with the Dragonblood Sect at this time.
Facing Fairy Huo Yun's congratulations, Ye Mo wasn't overly enthusiastic. At the moment, he couldn't be too close to the Fire Cloud Clan. The strength of the Ancient Spider Mother had already exceeded his expectations. At the moment, he had to find out the strength of the Heaven Yuan Clan.
"Dragonblood Sect disciples, follow me back to the sect. We'll hold a banquet for three days to celebrate."
Ye Mo shouted as he led the Dragonblood Sect disciples back to the sect.
As soon as he returned to the sect, Ye Mo held a banquet for three days straight. The entire Dragonblood Sect was in jubilation, and all the disciples were extremely excited.
While the disciples were celebrating, Ye Mo gathered all the experts in the sect and held another meeting.
"Ming Zhenwu, try to heal Zhan Haotian as soon as possible. Zhan Haotian has followed Gu Tianyuan for many years and should be more familiar with the Tianyuan Sect than you are."
Ye Mo, who was sitting in the Clan Leader's seat, said.
"Understood!"
Ming Zhenwu nodded.
"Qi Tiandi, you've made a name for yourself after this battle. So I'll leave all the matters of Baoyue City to you. Investigate the monthly taxes. The taxes of Baoyue City are extremely important to the Dragonblood Sect."
Ye Mo continued.
"Yes!"
Qi Tiandi also nodded.
"Sound Fox Fairy, keep a close eye on the Tianyuan Sect. Report to me immediately if they do anything strange."
Ye Mo said.
"Master, don't worry."
The Sound Fox Fairy said.
Although the Dragonblood Sect had successfully taken control of Baoyue City, the Tianyuan Sect could launch an attack on the Dragonblood Sect at any time. Ye Mo had to be prepared.
What Ye Mo was most afraid of was the strength of the Ancient Spider Mother and the combined strength of the Tianyuan Sect. The Tianyuan Sect had controlled Baoyue City for so many years. No one could imagine how much power they had accumulated. As for the Ancient Spider Mother, her strength was probably unparalleled.
Now, all he had to do was wait, wait until the Fire Spirit Sect convinced the Sword Dao Sect and the Heart Severing Valley. When the time came, the four sects would unite and truly have the strength to contend against the Tianyuan Sect.
It had been a month since the Dragonblood Sect had taken control of Baoyue City. The overall strength of the Dragonblood Sect had been continuously increasing, while the Tianyuan Sect was still locked in place and hadn't made any big moves.
Qi Tiandi had also handed over the monthly taxes of Baoyue City to Ye Mo. All of them were Divine Energy Pills, an amount that couldn't be described with numbers.
Since the Tianyuan Sect hadn't made any moves, the Dragonblood Sect naturally had to speed up and start increasing the strength of their disciples.
"All sect disciples, gather at the square now!"
As soon as he received the taxes, Ye Mo began to gather all the disciples of the sect. Regardless of whether they were in the Lower Deity Realm or Shattering Realm, they all began to advance.
Some sects seemed powerful, but they didn't have any cohesion internally. That was because their sects didn't allow their disciples to improve, nor did they let their disciples see hope.
However, the Dragonblood Sect was different. The disciples who joined the Dragonblood Sect would see the Dragonblood Sect slowly grow stronger, and their own strength would also greatly increase. Even if they faced the Heavenly Abyss Sect in the future, they would still band together.
After the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, the bell and drum sounded in unison. Everyone gathered in the square.
"Sect Leader, why have you gathered us here? “
Vice Sect Leader Illusory Blade could not help but ask.
"Qi Tiandi has just handed over a month's worth of taxes from Bao Yue City to me. These taxes are very large, so I will use them to create a spiritual rain in the plaza. You guys can absorb as much as you want. How much you can absorb and how much you can improve will all depend on your abilities."
As he spoke, Ye Mo waved his hand. In an instant, the entire Dragonblood Sect started to rain Spirit Rain. This Spirit Rain was the result of Ye Mo igniting all the Divine Energy Pills, erupting as a rain of energy.
As the spiritual rain fell, all the disciples sat down cross-legged and began to absorb it like crazy.
"Haha, what a powerful spiritual rain. I've broken through to the Middle Deity Realm."
"I originally thought that I would need at least three more years of cultivation to reach the Deity King Realm. I didn't expect to break through so quickly."
"I've finally broken through to the Shattering Realm. This spiritual rain is too powerful. It allowed me to break through the bottleneck of the Shattering Realm in one go."
Many of the disciples who had reached bottlenecks began to break through with this spiritual rain. As for those who hadn't reached their bottlenecks, they also experienced quite a bit of improvement. In short, this spiritual rain had increased the Dragonblood Sect's strength by quite a bit.
"Thank you, Sect Leader!"
All the disciples knelt down, their hearts filled with excitement.
"Disciples, we're going to face a huge challenge next," Ye Mo said. "The Heavenly Abyss Sect hasn't made any moves yet, but sooner or later, they'll attack us. So, I hope that we can unite against a common enemy and face this crisis together. As long as we can overcome this crisis, our Dragonblood Sect will be unstoppable."
Ye Mo shouted. His voice spread out, making everyone's hearts surge.
