Chapter 2622 New Covenant
"After all, strength is the most respectful! These people are willing to pay tribute to me the cultivation resources accumulated with great effort? However, in order to please me, the emperor and the minister, they can only bear the pain of giving up their love! Fortunately, I am not a tyrant who is greedy for money and ignores the life and death of others, otherwise they would have really had a heavy bleeding this time." Ge Dongxu's eyes swept over everyone, and he felt in his heart.
With emotion in his heart, Ge Dongxu raised his hand slightly, and the thirty-six jade slips fell back to everyone's hands.
Seeing this, everyone's face turned pale suddenly!
Could it be that he still thinks it’s too young?
"You don't have to think too much, just sit down first. The list you brought is much richer than I thought!" Ge Dongxu saw that everyone's faces turned pale, but he didn't know what they were thinking, so he quickly smiled.
Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief and sat down one after another, but they were extremely confused. I wonder if Ge Dongxu thought the list was rich, why didn't he accept it?
"I heard that you will pay tribute to Bayan once in ten years. The number is huge. Just last year, you paid tribute once. Now, just one year has passed, and the island owner is changing, but you have to take out a huge amount of resources to pay your respects. I am afraid that this time you will emptiate your treasure house!" Ge Dongxu said.
"The master of the Great Island is good and good, and we are honored to join the Lord of the Great Island. The master of Monta is the blessing of ours. These items are willing to be dedicated to the Lord of the Great Island. The treasure house is empty, and as long as the owner of the Great Island is protected by the Lord of the Great Island, they will soon be filled with the treasure house." Everyone was overjoyed when they pointed out their pain and said quickly.
What they fear is that Ge Dongxu didn't know their suffering, he thought they were very rich, or he thought they should have paid so many tributes and asked for excessive demands!
Now that Ge Dongxu said this, he at least knows their difficulties and cares about their hard work.
Ge Dongxu made such a statement, and their purpose of this trip was basically halfway, which means that the new island owner is still more sympathetic and easier to meet. Even if he doesn't come forward for the matter with the Eighteenth Prince, he should at least be able to maintain his previous state without getting worse.
"If you join me, Jiangnan Island, I will protect you and try to cultivate you. It is also necessary for you to provide some resources regularly, just like the secular state governments pay taxes to the court. This is the rule and the basis for both sides to achieve healthy development at the same time."
"But the matter is from both sides. The king regards his ministers as brothers and sisters, and the ministers regard him as his confidant; the king regards his ministers as grass, and the ministers regard him as enemies. I hope that no matter whether he is in normal times or when an enemy attacks, we can be as friends as enemies, rather than as enemies as enemies. It is not easy for everyone to practice, and they all lack resources. You just paid tribute last year, and the treasure house is in short supply, so how can I bear to collect such huge resources again?"
"You can keep these resources separately. In the future, your income will not need to be paid according to one-third of the amount specified by Bayan. It only needs five percent. If the surplus comes out, you can cultivate more children of the disciples and prosper the power in the island." Ge Dongxu said.
"Master of the Big Island!" Yun He and others were all so shocked that they stood up one after another, almost unable to believe what they heard in their ears.
Ge Dongxu saw everyone stand up with a look of surprise and raised his hand to signal everyone to be calm. However, his face became serious at this time, and a powerful and cold aura swept across the hall in an instant.
"But you must remember that you should not bully the weak, and do not kill innocent people indiscriminately. When an enemy attacks, you must work together and not betray your comrades, otherwise your leader will kill you!"
"We will not violate the laws of the Great Island Master when he is so kind to us!" Everyone knelt on the ground with a solemn expression on their faces.
"Okay, since you have no objection, the alliance between my Jiangnan Island and the islands has been decided. Every year from now on, I will have Taoist immortals who open the altar to teach the Tao. If I have time, I will open the altar to teach the Tao in person. If you and the real immortals on the island are interested, you can also listen to the Tao." Ge Dongxu glanced over everyone and said.
"Can we and the real immortals on the island come and listen to the sermon?" Everyone showed disbelief and surprised when they heard this.
Especially the two half-dao immortals and the True Immortal Island Masters were even more shocked.
They are all considered to be born as casual cultivators. Unlike the children of some major sects and major forces, they have the opportunity to listen to the Taoist masters in the sect, especially powerful figures like Ge Dongxu who can kill middle-grade Taoist immortals. If they want to listen to his Taoist masters, they are simply a fool to dream of them.
But now Ge Dongxu clearly told them that they could come and listen to the great way. Maybe they would have the opportunity to use this to see the true meaning of the great way and become the Tao immortal. How can they not be ecstatic?
"Of course, but how much you can understand depends on your own opportunities! Some of the sayings, I can explain them thoroughly to my disciples and teach them carefully, but I don't know how to you. You must understand this." Ge Dongxu nodded calmly and said.
"That's nature, that's nature!" Everyone lit their heads like a chicken pecking at rice, and left the matter behind the eighteenth prince behind their heads and stopped mentioning it.
For them, the big island owner gave too many benefits this time, so how could they be embarrassed to cause trouble to the big island owner?
After all, the Eighteenth Prince himself is not weak, he has many soldiers and horses under his tent, and he is even more backed by the West Sea Dragon Palace. If he really wants to bring up this matter, I am afraid the island owner will be in a dilemma!
Ge Dongxu had just entered Jiangnan Island and had a limited understanding of the surrounding islands. Everyone did not mention another purpose this time. Ge Dongxu himself did not know that they were bullied by the 18th Prince of the Dragon Palace in the West Sea for many years.
Ge Dongxu had a little talk with the thirty-six island owners in the hall, and asked Wu Yan and Ziyun to accompany him. He stood up and left the hall and headed all the way to Shushan.
After all, he is the master of the big island, the master of the sect, and personally came forward to receive thirty-six island owners. It would be enough to have the meaning of it. It is impossible for him to be a guest all the time.
When they arrived at Shushan, they called Shang Yuanxuan. The two brothers did not build a void channel and directly carried Xiangyun all the way to the host mansion of Kuisu.
The host mansion is located in the sea of Zhan. The mansion is like a giant city, magnificent and majestic, higher than a giant mountain.
"Haha, two brothers are here, and the brilliance is shining!" Before Ge Dongxu and Yuan Xuan arrived at the host mansion, Kui Su had already come to the air and said with a smile on his face.
"Haha, what a singular thing? Brother is so literary, don't you feel tired?" Ge Dongxu came forward and joked.
