Chapter 1,278: To Save the Common People

"By the way, Sect Master, there is one thing I have to tell you." The scholar's face suddenly became serious: "Then Dongfang Ke'er has now taken control of the royal family of the Xiuyun Empire, and has imposed additional taxes. From the first two days, times, it has reached ten times now!”

"ten times?!"

Bai Chen couldn't help being shocked: "Ten times the tax, doesn't that mean that even if ordinary people work hard for a year, they have to pay taxes on their harvest!"

"Yes, so now the entire Xiuyun Empire is full of beggars, and people's lives have become like hell..."

The scholar's words made everyone in the Chenyao Sword Sect and Wuxin and others look angry. Such atrocities were so heinous that they would be punished on the same day!

If Dongfang Ke'er hadn't been too strong, and if there wasn't a stronger Xing Tian beside her, Wu Xin would have led everyone out long ago.

Bai Chen took a deep breath and looked at Xiaoya: "Leave the next golden bead to Chu Junran, I need her!"

Hearing this, Xiaoya nodded obediently, she could distinguish the pros and cons.

Perhaps Chu Junran is the only one who can fight alongside Bai Chen now.

"Junran, come here."

Bai Chen suddenly turned around and looked at Chu Junran, who was as cold as ice in the corner.

Chu Junran's red lips parted slightly, and she wanted to say something, but she walked over wordlessly.

Staring at Chu Junran's cold eyes, Bai Chen suddenly held her hand.

Chu Junran's delicate body trembled, and a hint of shame and anger suddenly appeared: "What are you doing!"

Buzz——

A strange sound came next.

Bai Chen gradually let go of his palm, and then said seriously: "Listen, I left a soul imprint on your palm. I will go out and take a look first. You stay and wait for the next golden bead. If you pass the Xumi cultivation, If your strength can reach the star realm, just find me through the soul mark!"

"Starry Realm...Huh, whatever realm you can reach, I can definitely do it too!"

After hearing Chu Junran's words, Bai Chen smiled calmly, stopped talking nonsense, and walked straight towards the stone gate.

Seeing this, the scholar couldn't help shouting urgently: "Sect Master! Why don't you wait until Miss Chu finishes her training before we can act together!"

"It's okay, I'll go take a look first." Bai Chen still didn't stop.

"Brother, I think the military advisor is right. There is the Xingtian Demon God next to Dongfang Ke'er now!" Bai Zhixue couldn't help but shout.

"Don't worry, I will do what I can." Bai Chen's cold face was filled with anger: "I can't just watch those innocent people starve to death."

Such an unruly person, a person who considers himself the evil emperor, is thinking about the world at the critical moment.

Although Bai Chen was misunderstood by the world and slandered by traitors in his previous life, he was notorious.

But in this life, he has so many trusted companions, and everyone knows his character well.

The so-called evil emperor, the so-called destruction, is only for the evils of time.

Bai Chen never tires of letting those who live in darkness experience unprecedented fear!

Looking blankly at the back of the stone door that was gradually opening, Lin Mengyao bit her lip unwillingly: "Brother Bai, as long as I reach the star realm, I can go to you?"

A pause in his steps.

Hearing this voice mixed with unwillingness, Bai Chen's calm eyes showed a hint of emotion.

"ah."

With a sigh, his figure instantly disappeared into the twisted space.

Ever since Chu Junran appeared, Lin Mengyao, who had always been known for being as gentle as jade, showed strong jealousy.

Bai Chen knew this in his heart, so he was also looking forward to seeing how much room for improvement Mengyao's potential had.

After the stone door closed by itself, Wu Xin sat in the corner and finally sighed softly: "Sect Master Bai, the hope of this world depends on you."

…

A luxurious golden-covered carriage, carrying a mighty army, has arrived in Qingzhou.

Compared with the beggars scattered on the streets, these soldiers were all majestic and full of looks.

Now, the size of Xiuyun Empire's soldiers has expanded dozens of times. Just a little bit of the taxes paid can be enough for all these soldiers to absorb the rain and dew.

Therefore, when the soldiers set foot on this once fertile soil and saw the extremely miserable scene, they could only sympathize silently.

In the carriage, a white-haired woman looked at the poor beggars outside the carriage window with interest. A hint of contempt appeared on her face, which was not beautiful but heroic.

"Master Priest, not far ahead is the Tang Sect." A greasy man with a mustache, sitting in the carriage, said with an awe-inspiring smile.

And the so-called "priest" in his mouth is the white-haired woman in front of him, Bai Chang!

Bai Chang was originally the president of the Heavenly Punishment Guild. Logically speaking, the Heavenly Punishment Guild was the only one left among the five major guilds. As the president, she should shoulder the mission of saving the common people.

But due to her fear of Dongfang Ke'er, Bai Chang actually went there in person and bowed her head to him.

No, in a sudden change, she became a minor priest of the Xiuyun Empire, her position was second only to the high priest, and she was a second-rank official.

It can be said that he is the one who controls the wind and rain and acts as an aide for the tiger.

As for the higher-ranking high priests, they were naturally two ruthless men who were feared by the entire empire.

There are two high priests, and they are called Dongfang Keer’s right-hand men, Jing Haichuan and Jing Haiqing!

Seeing that they were about to arrive at Tangmen, Bai Chang lowered the car curtain and slowly closed her eyes.

Their arrival in Qingzhou with such great momentum would naturally attract the attention of Tang Clan and Yang Clan secret sentries.

At this time, in the Tangmen main hall, the secret whistle had already informed the matter truthfully.

This news is not a good thing for Tang Clan.

"Ling'er, Bai Chang is already very strong, and now she has become Dongfang Ke'er's eagle dog. You must be more courteous later." Mr. Tang shook his head helplessly.

To live to this day and actually have to look at other people's faces, to him, this is simply an insult to the wisdom of the ancestors of the Tang clan.

But now that things have come to this, what choice can he make?

only……

With everyone's eyes gathered, Tang Xiaoling, who was wearing a slender blue neon dress, gradually turned around. Her pretty face, which was not stained by pink and white, frowned with doubts: "Grandpa, the other party is obviously a bad person. Even if we are polite, how can we do it?" how?"

"Well said!"

The space next to Tang Xiaoling was suddenly torn open by a square hole under the astonished gazes of everyone. Immediately, a young man in black robe carrying an ancient sword walked out of it with a slight smile on his face.

"Bai Chen!"

Tang Xiaoling was overjoyed when he saw the visitor. He finally appeared.

However, other people in the Tang Clan looked strange. Even Mrs. Tang showed a look of disdain. It could even be said that they did not want to have anything to do with him at all.

The gathered gazes were like looking at a god of plague, full of contempt.
