The Immortal Lord Yunlu was a middle-aged man. The moment he saw us, he smiled. "The two High Immortals arrived at just the right time. Seeking Dao Immortal City needs you both right now!"
"What does Seeking Dao Immortal City need us to do?" Li Guxian asked.
After a moment of bewilderment, Immortal Lord Yunlu smiled. "Seeking Dao Immortal City is in crisis right now, and yet most of the merchants want to flee the city and escape elsewhere. Do you know why?"
"We heard about it on the way. With a tenfold tribute, it would be strange if they didn't leave," Li Guxian said with a laugh.
"Exactly! That's why I can't let them leave. I had no choice but to seal the city first, then figure out a way to deal with this!" Immortal Lord Yunlu said anxiously.
"Our Green Deer Immortal City did the opposite. We sent them all away," I said.
"Huh? How could you let them all go? Our city opened every door of convenience for them, allowing them to live and work in peace. But the moment the city encountered trouble, they fled. That's betrayal!" Immortal Lord Yunlu said with some displeasure.
"That may be true, but not everyone can pay ten times the tribute. What are those who can't pay supposed to do? They can't exactly stay behind and be buried with the city, can they?" Li Guxian countered.
"The tenfold tribute naturally means that wealthy immortals pay more and poor immortals pay less. But simply fleeing—what does that make us? Do they think Seeking Dao Immortal City is somewhere they can come and go as they please? Besides, they should think about it: this is actually persecution! Do you know where most of them are fleeing?"
