When Dajun of the imperial capital set out, the imperial guards guarding the imperial capital were also on alert. After all, there were not many Asura cultivators. Although the imperial court had been constantly cultivating new blood for the past few thousand years, it could not make up for the lack of numbers.
In order to maintain their rule in the Asura Realm, the imperial court specially introduced those powerful foreign cultivators to fill the troops. At the same time, they also took care of those ascended cultivators and used this to rope them in to serve the imperial court.
However, things were always two sides. The imperial court's noble cultivators were divided into conservatives and radicals, who had opposite attitudes towards these policies. The conservatives believed that a large number of foreign cultivators would inevitably lead to a decline in the strength of the Asura army, and they would no longer be as powerful as the first Holy Emperor 30,000 years ago.
The radicals believed that now in the Nine Upper Realms, except for the Lower Three Realms and the Devil Realm, they could make friends with cultivators from the other realms. Only by learning from each other's strengths could it be more conducive to the long-term stability of the Asura Dynasty.
After the two sides couldn't argue, they brought the conflict to the imperial court to discuss politics. Later, the Asura Empress divided the army in her hands into several armies. Among them, except for the imperial guards guarding the imperial capital, the rest of the armies could absorb powerful foreign cultivators as the backbone.
The Earl of Silvermoon Lake who came to visit today was one of the more powerful figures in the radicals, and with his strength, it could be said that he was second to none among the noble cultivators.
With the identity token given by Hao Ren, Yi Tian led a team of ten patrolling cultivators directly to the mansion of the Earl of Silvermoon Lake. After showing the identity token, the steward of the mansion naturally didn't dare to stop them and could only lead them into the main hall of the mansion later.
Sitting in the main hall, Yi Tian used the Thousand Faces Technique to change his appearance, but his name was still the same. He only called himself 'Commander Yi'.
Not long after, he found that someone was hurrying over from the back hall. The spiritual pressure on his body didn't disappear, and he was a Severed Soul cultivator.
After a while, the Count of Silvermoon Lake, Pu Changhao, walked in with large strides. Everyone present hurriedly stood up and knelt down to greet him like the nobles of the Empire. As for Yi Tian, he placed his hands in front of his chest as a sign of respect. Fortunately, the token that Hao Ren gave him indicated that he was a noble. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to kneel.
After everyone sat down, Pu Changhao said, "I wonder why Commander Yi of the City Defense Department has graced us with your presence. What brings you here?"
To be honest, Yi Tian did not have a good impression of the Count of Silvermoon Lake. He was filled with the rotten smell of Asura nobles. He was dressed in noble attire, but he looked like a boor who did not care about his appearance. His messy hair was not even combed.
How could such a person be the mainstay of the aristocratic radical faction? You should at least put on some makeup. Although he thought about it, Yi Tian did not dare to reveal his identity so easily. He could only reply with a smile, "I dare not. I'm here under the order of the Imperial Censor to understand the trade dispute between the Count and the Cool Breeze Branch Station."
"Then it's good that you're here. Speaking of which, when did the Asura people get bullied by foreign cultivators? And it's in the Imperial Capital. If this matter spreads out, I'm afraid the other nobles will laugh at me behind my back," Pu Changhao said angrily.
"Count, please don't be angry. Since this matter has been reported to the City Defense Department, we will naturally do our best to investigate it. We will make sure that you are satisfied," Yi Tian smiled apologetically.
"I hope so," Pu Changhao snorted and replied.
Yi Tian looked at the other party and did not find any omissions in his words. However, when he looked at him, there was always a strange feeling in his heart, as if he had seen the same type of cultivator before.
After thinking about it, he changed the topic and asked, "I have read the Count's lawsuit. There are a few questions that I would like to ask my lord."
"Go ahead and ask. I can't guarantee that I can answer all of them," Pu Changhao said casually.
"May I know where the batch of goods is now? Can my lord take out some samples for me to check?" Yi Tian asked.
Pu Changhao was obviously prepared for such a question. He reached out his hand and took out a piece of 'dark spirit stone' from his storage bag and placed it on the table.
After using his Divine Thought to scan the 'dark spirit stone', he found that its material was almost between the peak of Earth Grade and the early stage of Heaven Grade. Speaking of which, the 'Cool Breeze Branch Station' was really suspected of using shoddy goods as good ones.
After checking, Yi Tian directly put away the 'dark spirit stone' and said, "This thing is material evidence. I need to go to the company to find the person in charge to investigate. If it's true, how do you want the other party to compensate? This matter requires further instructions, as this is also the responsibility of our city defense. "
When Pu Changhao heard this, his eyes flashed and he said, "Since it's like this, I ask Commander Yi to uphold justice for me. The most important thing for the Cool Breeze Sub-Station to do business is to pay attention to the authenticity of the goods and the price. Since they have put out the signboard that they will compensate me 10 times if it's fake, then I will ask for compensation based on this point. "
"1 to 10 is probably a bit difficult. I don't know if sir Count can give us some space so that we can deal with it at our discretion. If you insist on 1 to 10 times if it's fake, I think the company may not have so many goods." Yi Tian's face changed back. But in his heart, he expressed deep doubts about Pu Changhao's character. Even if those companies put out a gimmick, they would not really honor it like this.
What's more, the 'Cool Breeze Branch Station' was also backed by one of the 3 major sects in the spiritual realm, the Taiqing Pavilion. To put it bluntly, if they really annoyed them, the asura nobles would not chase them to the spiritual realm to collect the debt.
The Count of Silver Moon Lake was taken aback when he heard that, then he looked at Yi Tian and asked, "I know that usually these things are the city defense, so I will get some commission. So be it, 1 to 3 is my minimum. The extra will be considered as me giving face to Hao Ren. How about that?"
Yi Tian found it funny that this was called giving face to Hao Ren. He was afraid that this could only be said in front of a cultivator of his cultivation level. If he really saw Hao Ren, Pu Changhao might not have the courage to say this out of his mouth.
After thinking about it, he replied with a smile on his face, "Since sir Count is giving us face to make money, of course, it would be impolite to refuse. Please rest assured at this time. Let me lead a team to thoroughly investigate the foreign company. After that, I will definitely give sir a satisfactory answer. "
"Okay, then we are rid of it." Pu Changhao replied without hesitation.
After the large group of people left the Count of Silver Moon Lake's mansion, Yi Tian did not directly go to the foreign company's commercial area. After that, he wanted to settle them down, but he returned to the mansion first to rest first. Previously in the Silver Moon Lake mansion, he had a strange feeling in his heart. After coming out, he combined the use of the 'underworld spirit stone' and the compensation amount that Pu Changhao asked for and secretly doubted in his heart.
To be honest, there were not many space type treasures like the 'underworld spirit stone'. Now that he asked for 3 times the compensation, naturally there was such a gap.
