The Zither Sound Mountain range was wide and rich with resources, but the city only had one large city. Most of the other places were villages where ordinary people or rogue cultivators gathered, and the place where the rich gathered was the Zither Sound City.

Cultivators were people as well. They ate and drank, and did business outside the house. They spent a lot of money on things like this. Although silver was not omnipotent, it was still something that anyone needed. Naturally, a sect that was made up of cultivators needed more silver to maintain its operations.

As for local gangs like the Heavenly King's Gang, the annual protection fees they received in the city were a large amount of income. This didn't even include the gray income that he had obtained through other means, so naturally, the cultivation sect was jealous of him.

In this way, the larger and more cultivated sects in the Zither Sound Mountain sent out people to support a local faction in two of the Zither Sound City. This was used to obtain the annual share of income from these factions. It became a part of the annual economic income of those sects that had been trained.

Behind the Heavenly King's Gang was the Clear World Sword Sect. Back then, the Great Heavenly King had been helped to establish the Heavenly King's Gang by sending a lot of men and women to help him!

However, in the eyes of the Sword Faction, the Heavenly King Gang was just a small figure, and in their eyes, it was nothing. Furthermore, the money the Heavenly King's Gang contributed to the Clear Sword Sect each year was only a drop in the ocean of income that the sect earned each year.

This could also explain the reason why the Heavenly King's Gang only had one disciple in the Clear Moon Sword Sect, and that was because the Heavenly King's Gang had put in a lot of effort and had finally picked out a talent. The reason why they sent the members of the Clear Moon Sword Sect was to make the relationship between the Heavenly King's Gang and the Clear Moon Sword Sect even closer. Only then would they be able to obtain more support and help from the Clear Wind Sword Sect. Only then would their power and territory in the Zither Sound City be increased.

However, recently, the attitude of the Clear Sword Sect towards the Heavenly King's Gang had become a little less enthusiastic. Although in the past, the Heavenly King's Gang's attitude towards the Clear Moon Sword Sect could not be considered as that, this time, the attitude of the sect towards the Heavenly King's Gang was completely different.

Last time, when the Green Forest Sect and the Heavenly King Gang had a conflict, the Clear Moon Sword Sect had been preparing to send five Fifth Meridian Stage experts to the Heavenly King Gang, together with the disciple they sent to help the Heavenly King Gang. However, before they left, the higher ups of the sect called back these people. As for the Heavenly King Gang, they did not even bother to give an explanation.

This caused the people from the Heavenly King's Gang to feel that something was strange. After some careful investigation, they finally understood that it was because the money they had sent to the Clear Underworld Sword Sect was too little. On the other side, the Ax Head Gang of the Zither Note City's other top ten gangs increased the benefits they gave to the Clear Sword Sect every year.

Last time, the Heavenly King Gang and the Green Forest Sect had a grudge, but the gang was very willing to see this happen. As such, when the gang made a ruckus, the Clear Sword Sect took back their men without even an excuse, making the members of the gang very angry.

"What's the use of us getting angry?" Qin Xiu De shook his head and sighed with a helpless look on his face. "It's useless. The Clear Sword Sect has never treated us coldly or warmly. If they didn't see the value in us, how would they pay attention to us!"

The Second Heavenly King Qi Lin's expression was indignant, and he unhappily echoed from the side, "That's right, damn it, we give the Clear Sword Sect hundreds of thousands of silver taels every year! "He just gave the gang a little more silver. If he has milk, then he's a mother!"

The Great Heavenly King laughed, patted Qi Lin on the shoulder and said loudly, "This is a normal thing, we have reduced our tribute to the Clear Sword Sect over the years! Lin Yu's performance in the quiet sword sect is also becoming more ordinary. The quiet sword sect will naturally put pressure on us! "

Long Chu frowned slightly, looking at the three Heavenly Kings in front of him with a strange look, "According to you guys, it's the Clear Sword Sect. You guys don't even have anything to say?"

Qin Xiu De looked a little embarrassed as he turned around to look at the Great Heavenly King. The Great Heavenly King smiled calmly and said, "That's not right. It's just that I don't know if Dragoon has anything to say about the Clear Sword Sect through us? "

Long Chu smiled gently, "Don't worry, I am not looking down on all of you Heavenly Kings. My original plan was to pass through your Heavenly King's Gang and strike up a line with the Clear Moon Sword Sect!" However, from the looks of it now, your attitude towards the quiet sword party was not that important! But that's fine, since you have connections with the Clear Sword Sect. Then, we will re-associate it with the Clear Sword Sect. But this time, we must not only make them think highly of us, but also let them know that it will be very hard for them to lose us! "

The Great Heavenly King and the others all looked at each other, looking at Long Chu with a strange expression. Qin Xiu De frowned and said, "Dragonomics, this old man does not object to the relationship between the Green Forest Sect and the Clear Sword Sect! However, you must understand that those people from the Clear Sword Sect all want money! Especially when we're facing these local gangs of ours, they're as despicable as vampires! "

The Great Heavenly King nodded his head, "Yes, although Elder Qin's analogy is a little inappropriate, but when it comes to the silver, those schools that have been cultivating are just acting like vampires. This old man has experienced the feeling of being taken away by them every year for free for over a hundred thousand taels of silver! That feeling was too unbearable, as if there was an obstruction! "

Long Chu smiled mysteriously at the three great heavenly kings, and said indifferently, "Yes, a few hundred thousand taels of silver in exchange for such a cold attitude from the Clear Sword Sect. If it was us, we would also be angry! But what if one million silver, or even more than two million silver falls into the hands of the Clear Moon Sword Sect? "

When Long Chu's words came out, not only the three Heavenly Kings, even Mu Xinshu, Luan Cheng, and the rest all exclaimed out at the same time as they looked at Long Chu in shock.

"What does that mean?" The Great Heavenly King frowned as he looked at Long Chu strangely, "A million silver taels and just obtaining the title of support from the Clear Sword Sect is not worth it!" With this much money, we might as well recruit more cultivators and increase the strength of our gangs. This is always the best choice! "

Long Chu shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Supporting our Green Forest Sect doesn't necessarily mean that it's the Clear Moon Sword Sect. We can also get this reputation from another large sect that cultivates through the use of tens of thousands of silver! What I want is not an empty title, but someone from the Clear Moon Sword Sect! "
