Chapter 313: Chapter 314: Prosperous Guild

Chu You turned around and reached the lifting device, through which he descended from the city wall that was a hundred meters high.

’Creak...’ At that moment, a loud sound came from the massive city gates. When the gate reached three meters open, Chu You stopped it from opening any further and walked out.

About 30 meters from the city gates, the officials and soldiers representing the court and Yan Emperor had all stood upright, watching Chu You approach.

As Chu You halted two meters from them, everyone gave a slight bow. Then, an elder that was more extravagantly dressed than the rest moved two steps closer. He had a smile on his face, but there was not a trace of joy in his eyes. It seemed their long wait had greatly annoyed them.

"Greetings to the Champion Marquis, I, as an old servant, have been ordered by the Emperor to convey... "

"You’re here for the taxes, isn’t it?" Chu You interrupted.

"Indeed, I hope for the cooperation of the Champion Marquis."

"How much is it?" Chu You stared directly at the other party, who peered down their nose, body slightly bowed. From the moment he began speaking, he hadn’t looked directly at Chu You.

Upon hearing this, the tax officer was taken aback. He looked up at Chu You, then quickly lowered his head again, "According to the agreement between you and the Emperor, it is indeed 1 million Gold Coins."

"Oh, good Sir, do you know why I have only just arrived? I have only just received notice, otherwise, why would I have made you wait so long?"

"Ah?" The tax officer was quite confused and he didn’t understand how Chu You’s words were related to the taxes at all.

"I’ve only been in command of the fortress for a week, when it needs a large number of gold coins and manpower. So, let me tell you, the fortress is currently empty. Therefore, about this tax, could it be deferred a bit?"

"Ah? Uh..." Upon hearing Chu You’s non-explanatory explanation, the tax officer was slightly relieved, but then choked on Chu You’s last statement, his face a picture of awkwardness.

"Have you seen the main body of the fortress? With its golden runes, the awakening of the fortress is already halfway there, and the entrance to Hell is almost sealed by me. The Abyssal Flare which has been harming the people of the Yan Kingdom is likely about to disappear. This is a matter of eternal significance, do... you understand?"

"In my personal opinion, I deeply respect and appreciate what the Champion Marquis is doing. But the tax..."

"Here are 400,000 Gold Coins. I won’t let you leave empty-handed. As for the remaining 600,000, you can tell the Emperor that all the money has been used for essential matters and can’t be paid temporarily." Chu You stated firmly.

Soon after, the tax officer left with a troubled expression on his face.

Yan Emperor, Yan Emperor, you have me to pacify the chaos of the Abyss for you, a credit that will last for ages, and you still demand tax from me. This isn’t kind of you! The matter of the privately set tax agreement between Chu You and the Yan Emperor had always been a thorn in his side. The tax he collected this week was 1,040,000, and now that he had given 400,000 to the court, he was left with 640,000 Gold Coins.

In the blink of an eye, Chu You was confident the Yan Emperor would not be angry at this moment, and at most, he would only be slightly displeased.

After handling this matter and closing the city gates, Chu You directly used the Guild Return Teleportation Skill and appeared in the City Above the Clouds the next instant.

Chu You had originally planned to continue collecting ores, but a thought surfaced in his mind and he gave up on the idea, especially since he had Lin Luor and two others continuing to gather the ores.

Opening his friend list, Chu You sent a voice message to someone.

"Old Flower, can you tell me the coordinates of the Level 5 guilds in Wei Country that you know of?"

"Stubborn, the boss is finally going to take action." The expectation on the other end is palpable.

"No shit, I can’t keep everyone in suspense forever."

"Heh, true, you know, a lot of people have been living in fear, all because your guild hasn’t reached level 7."

"Then let them rest easy today!" Chu You said nonchalantly.

"Alright, boss, just hold on a sec, let me find out." As soon as Falling Blossoms finished, she started talking to her two confidants.

"Night Ghost is on the move; the target is in Wei Country. So tell me, which guilds are threatening our branch in Wei Country? I want Level 5 Guilds."

A sharp-witted man responded, "Level 5? There aren’t any right now. But, if our guild’s branches in Wei Country begin to grow, the Huangtian Guild and the Domineering Sky Guild will undoubtedly become massive threats. Their development patterns are very similar to ours in Wei Country. A conflict is inevitable."

Falling Blossoms’ eyes lit up, "In that case, let these two guilds disappear. Do you know the coordinates of these two guilds?"

Soon, Falling Blossoms got the answer and asked the confidant to keep it a secret, at least until Night Ghost makes a move. She didn’t want to risk anything, even if the trouble seemed insignificant, better safe than sorry.

"Boss, I’ve got the results. I only know the locations of two Level 5 guilds in Wei Country." Falling Blossoms gave her affirmative answer soon enough. Chu You felt quite satisfied, with only two Level 5 Guilds left for his guild to level up to 7. He asked promptly, "Good, tell me."

"First one is in Jinyang City of Wei Country, coordinates are 454.145.214. Another guild is in the wilderness, Pine Sea Plain, coordinates are 987.244.787."

Upon hearing the locations, Chu You opened the map and zoomed into Wei Country. When he saw the coordinates of one of the guilds, he lit up and nodded approvingly. But the other guild was quite distant. After some calculation, he estimated it would take two hours to reach by flying.

Never mind, first off, taking down that guild!

Little did Chu You know, the fact that his guild hadn’t yet upgraded to Level 7 had many Level 5 guilds on tenterhooks. Even the Level 4 guilds were frustrated. According to their intel, the Yan Kingdom big shot only needed two more Level 5 guilds to upgrade his own. They didn’t know which guilds he would target, causing them a lot of distress. And why were Level 4 guilds worried? Simple, reaching Level 5 meant they might become a target!

Of course, despite this concern, many Level 4 Guilds still yielded to the temptation and leveled up to Level 5 during this time.

Chu You arrived at the Divine Tree, summoned all 40 Battle Demon Princesses to his side and then came to the teleporter. Via the teleporter, they arrived at Wei Country, the same place where the guild was destroyed previously.

Chu You was planning to wipe out a Level 5 Guild, so his own Level 6 Guild could be upgraded to Level 7!

According to the location Falling Blossoms initially provided, Jinyang City in Wei Country wasn’t too far away. Looking around at the empty surroundings, Chu You pulled up a smirk and spread his wings, ascending into the sky with the Battle Demon Princesses!

In a location not far from Jinyang City, at the northeastern corner, a guild indeed sat in place. Its name: Huangtian Guild! Quite a grand title.

This area has already reached Level 25, indicating that this guild had migrated once. For a guild to relocate, it had to wait three days. Within these three days, no other guild’s territory should appear in the area of relocation, or the migration fails, wasting both time and costs. Apart from numerous other factors, to put it simply, moving a guild is a matter that the guild founders must handle meticulously.

From a bird-eye’s view, this guild was bustling. Many players shuttling back-and-forth between the various buildings. Even the guild’s gates were wide open, with several players leading carts to enter.

Such a prosperous sight! The players of Huangtian Guild were pretty satisfied with the current state. The Huangtian Guild wasn’t a dictatorship but a ’republic’, created by a group of friends who played well together. The guild was very democratic, which was loved by its members who willingly provided selfless dedication.

Precisely this reason contributed to the bustling scene of the Huangtian Guild.
