"Tenfold!? Are you kidding me!" Hanji Immortal Lord was so frightened that he hurriedly stood up.
Yushu Immortal Lord was equally astonished. Looking at the envoys, he asked, "Did your investigation uncover some problem? How could the tribute possibly be increased tenfold?"
"Heh heh, how could we arrive at a figure ten times higher than before without conducting a thorough investigation? You must be Yushu Immortal Lord, right? You're a hereditary Immortal Lord, so you'll have to shoulder a little more of this tribute." One of the envoys smiled.
Yushu was so furious that his face turned livid. "Even if you stripped our Qinglu Immortal City bare, it still wouldn't amount to ten times the tribute!"
"Then I'm afraid there's nothing we can do. You still have more than half a month to prepare. If the other immortals flee to other cities for refuge, we'll turn a blind eye. But Yushu Immortal Lord, you may be able to leave—your possessions can't run away, can they?" The female envoy sneered.
Yushu slammed his palm onto the immortal chair beneath him, blasting one corner clean off. "Are you saying you intend to massacre the city?"
"We never said that. We're merely advising you: resources are nothing more than worldly possessions. Don't bring disaster upon yourself."

"What is the basis of this investigation? How did you arrive at such an exorbitant tenfold tribute?" I had already vaguely guessed that this investigation had something to do with me.
"What are you supposed to be? Do you think you're worthy of questioning us?" an elderly envoy barked coldly.
I smiled. Jiuxiao
