Blood Python Guild President Mu Yang's eyes turned cold: "I'm not borrowing from you! I'm asking you if you have found any good prey recently?"
"We also ordered our men to look for prey." Vice President Lai Mo explained, "But you also know that the Void True Gods in Huyang City are very cautious and don't reveal their treasures, so it's difficult to select suitable prey. In the past century, I slaughtered 122 Void True Gods and obtained a total of 1,800 cosmic sands. I will take 10%, and you, President, will take 90%. I gave it to you a long time ago."
"In the last century, I have killed 132 prey and obtained a total of 1,200 cosmic sands. I have given you what I owe you." Vice President Mu Lin said, "We all signed a causal contract. We will not lie about these things."
Mu Yang said coldly: "I want good prey! Not these poor prey!"
The two vice presidents shook their heads.
"We can't find good prey. The City Lord's Mansion has already set a bottom line." Vice President Lai Mo said, "The number of people who can be slaughtered in the city is very limited, and those Void True Gods are very cautious. Even if they get the treasure, they will not make it public."
Vice President Mu Lin said worriedly, "President, you have made enough money since we established the Blood Python Society. I have never seen you so anxious in the past. Why are you getting more and more anxious recently?"
He and the president are from the same ethnic group and drifted to Huyang City together. There are many things he can say that Vice President Lai Mo dare not say.
"How is the housing fee collected?" asked the Blood Python President. "Has it increased?"
"Most of the vast number of true gods in the city make a living by hunting exotic beasts. Every time they go out for adventure and make a fortune, they will return to the city to live peacefully. Except for occasional shopping, they usually stay in seclusion in the city. We can't collect any residence fees at all." Vice President Lai Mo shook his head.
"Is there any overall growth?" Mu Yang asked.
"No." Lai Mo shook his head, "It's probably even declining in this era."
"A bunch of rubbish!"
Mu Yang was furious. "The Blood Python Society has so many subordinates just to let them look for suitable prey in the city so that they can collect housing fees! If they can't find prey, the housing fees will also be reduced this century? What's the use of these rubbish? Those incompetent people, drive them out of the Blood Python Society!"
The cost of raising a subordinate is also quite high. The subordinates also have to pay the City Lord's Mansion a residence fee of "one Chaos Crystal per century", plus the subordinates also need training resources. Therefore, the average cost of raising a True God-level subordinate is about 3 Chaos Crystals per century.
The stronger the subordinates, the higher the cost of maintaining them!
A huge dark force has high operating costs. After all, it is impossible to ask the Eternal True God to collect housing fees from a large number of residents, right
Finding fat sheep is not easy.
"The City Lord's Mansion has rules. As long as the True Gods live in the caves, the City Lord's Mansion will guarantee their absolute safety. In many places in Huyang City, there are True Gods everywhere. If we take action, we will be discovered by other True Gods. Once there is solid evidence, the City Lord's Mansion must catch the murderer." Mu Lin shook his head. "The City Lord's Mansion uses various methods to ensure the safety of those residents, so it becomes difficult for us to collect housing fees."
The City Lord's Mansion collects residence fees, which are official collections that every True God must pay. But once paid, there are also various protections, which is why many True Gods yearn to live in big cities.
Dark forces are also collecting residence fees, but most residents try their best to avoid them.
For example, they usually hide in caves! When traveling, they go to places where there are many true gods, or even a group of true gods act together!
"I'm the one supporting the Blood Python Society. You two should think of something!" President Mu Yang's eyes were fierce. "How can we find good prey? How can we collect more housing fees?"
"We'll find a way." The two vice presidents agreed, but the Blood Python Society has been operating for so long that all possible methods have already been used.
"Hmm?" President Mu Yang suddenly looked outside, "Mo Li Meng is here, you two should go out first."
"Okay." Vice Presidents Lai Mo and Mu Lin breathed a sigh of relief and left immediately.
Soon, a middle-aged man with four purple curved horns named 'Mo Li Meng' walked in.
"Here to collect the debt again!" President Mu Yang sighed.
"It's time for me to give you the 50,000 cosmic sands for this era." Mo Limeng looked at him. "You can't be unable to pay back the 20,000 cosmic sands you paid to Luo He, right?"
President Mu Yang shook his head: "It's only 50,000 cosmic sands, of course I can afford it. But Mo Li Meng, for our Blood Python Club's small territory, we have to pay 50,000 cosmic sands every century. Isn't that too much? Can it be less?"
"There's nothing I can do." Mo Limeng looked at him and chuckled, "Unless you disband the Blood Python Society and give up your territory. The rule of Huyang City is that whichever dark force controls the territory will pay the cosmic sand. This is the bottom line of the five major families."
President Mu Yang was quite depressed.
When he was fighting for territory with other dark forces, he was unwilling to pay fees to the five major families and was punished by them. He suffered a great loss that time and finally took a step back, and only then did the five major families tolerate him.
“In that case, can the Blood Python Society have a higher killing quota each epoch?” said the president, Mu Yang. “The death rate in the city each epoch cannot exceed one in a thousand. This ratio is too low. The True Gods and Void True Gods will have conflicts and fights during the long epoch in the city. The normal death rate is close to one in a thousand. There are too few places for us to kill!”
"It can't be more than one thousandth!" Mo Limeng said calmly, "In the past century, your Blood Python Society should have assassinated more than a million True Gods in the city, and hundreds of Void True Gods. That's enough!"
"There are countless true gods in Huyang City. The number we killed is far less than the normal death." Mu Yang shook his head and handed a jade bottle to Mo Limeng, "Fifty thousand cosmic sands, not a single one less."
Mo Limeng took it and his expression became better. He said, "Let me remind you that in the past few decades, you Blood Pythons have gone too far in some things!"
"What's going on? How come I don't know?" Mu Yang was surprised, "Don't put everything on me."
Mo Limeng glanced at him, said nothing more, and turned and left.
Mu Yang watched the other person leave.
"The five major families in the City Lord's Mansion are the most ruthless!" Mu Yang's eyes were grim, but he knew very well that once the bottom line was crossed, the five major families would be able to completely crush the Blood Python Society at all costs.
"Every member of the Blood Python Club asks for a large amount of cosmic sand every era. The five major families also ask for cosmic sand. That Luo He also took away 20,000 cosmic sands." Mu Yang also felt that he was very poor. "After calculating this era, I didn't make much."
Mu Yang's mind moved, and the formation in the hall started to work, completely isolating it from the outside world.
Buzz~~~
A mirror condensed in the void in front of him, and in the mirror there was a figure in a white robe wearing a red mask.
"Lord Blood Cloud." President Mu Yang also said a little more modestly.
The two most terrifying forces in the entire Huyang City are naturally the five major families of the City Lord's Mansion, which are the ruling forces, and the other is the Food Kingdom forces. There is an extremely terrifying existence lurking in the Food Kingdom forces, named "Blood Cloud".
The conflict between the Food Kingdom and the five major families of the City Lord's Mansion is the most intense, and it is not a small fight like attacking the dark forces.
"Why did President Mu Yang suddenly come to me?" Xueyun's voice was calm, as if there was no ups and downs at all.
"The second part of the "Blood of Iron and Sand" requires one million cosmic sands, but I really can't get them together." Guild President Mu Yang said, "Can I buy some cosmic sand on credit? I'll give you half first?"
Xueyun smiled softly, "With the bloodline cultivation method, the limit is to cultivate to the Chaos Realm, and the 'Pure Iron Blood Sand Method' is a 'perfect' Chaos Realm bloodline cultivation method, and it is very suitable for you. Such a cultivation method is rare for you. If you have not made great contributions... we will not give you the opportunity to purchase it."
"I know, but one million cosmic sands are too difficult to collect." President Mu Yang said.
"You have this opportunity to buy it only because you work for my Food Country. If you go to the Yanfeng Guild Hall and try, you won't be able to buy it at all." Xueyun said.
President Mu Yang certainly understands.
Shi Guo was so generous that he was willing to take out the "Pure Iron Blood Sand Method", which was considered to be the most advanced blood cultivation method. Naturally, this made Mu Yang crazy.
With ordinary cultivation methods, he would never be able to reach the Chaos Realm in his lifetime. However, this most perfect bloodline cultivation method at least gave him a glimmer of hope of reaching the Chaos Realm.
"You run the Blood Python Club slowly, so of course you make money slowly." Xueyun said softly, "If you want to make more money, you have to take some risks. Think about it carefully."
Then the contact was severed.
Chairman Mu Yang was thinking, he had dealt with all parties in Huyang City, and had deep entanglements with the City Lord's Mansion and the Food Kingdom.
"Normal businesses in Huyang City are all under the infiltration of the City Lord's Mansion, so it's impossible to make too much money. It takes time to accumulate slowly. If you want to make a lot of money, you have to take some risks." President Mu Yang's eyes became colder and colder. "As long as I get the "Iron Blood Sand Method", I will leave Huyang City immediately. No matter how fierce the fight between the City Lord's Mansion and the Food Country is, I will not get involved."

Chaos A Cave No. 913.
High on the mountain, Luo Feng sat on a big rock and drank alone.
In fact, he was practicing the Great Destruction Heart Refining Method, and his mind and will were constantly being destroyed and eroded, making his mind and will more condensed every time. This was a normal survival adaptation.
Under the extremely strong attrition and destruction, every time of condensation, it is natural to resist this attrition and destruction.
The short-term progress is not as good as the "Seven Emotions Mind Refining Method", but the advantage of the "Great Destruction Mind Refining Method" is that it can be carried out for a long time, and the effect will be good over time.
"With Brother En Tianyan's guidance, it won't take long for me to thoroughly study the theory of the second level of the Chaos Power Diagram." Luo Feng had a deep understanding of the laws, so he naturally comprehended them quickly. "But even if I comprehend them thoroughly, what can I do?"
"I'm so poor! I can't afford the materials needed for the second body refining." Luo Feng also had a headache.
"The first time I refined my body, I consumed 100,000 cosmic sands just to build the foundation."
"According to the inference, the second body refining will require at least several times more materials."
"The third time I refined my body, it continued to increase several times."
"Where can I get cosmic sand?"
Luo Feng was very troubled for a moment.
With his current strength, if he wants to significantly improve his strength, he must either make a breakthrough to the 'Peak Will of the Chaos Realm', or undergo a second round of body refinement to the 'Perfect Divine Body'.
His divine body was so huge and his divine power was so pure that the growth brought about by each body refining was naturally obvious.
"Improving your willpower cannot be achieved in a hurry. You need to hone yourself slowly over time." Luo Feng knew this clearly. "I need to think of a way to get the materials for the second body refining. Alas, I am still too poor!"
Thinking of this, Luo Feng had an idea and sent a message through the Dark Hall of Yanfeng Guild Hall to start investigating the bounty mission.
