"On my fiefdom, no matter who you are.

No one is allowed to bully the market, buying things without paying.

If you eat or take someone else's belongings, you must pay for them.

And those who owe money and don't repay it.

Repaying debts is a matter of course; if you have the money and maliciously don't repay.

Ask yourselves with a clear conscience, in your most difficult times.

Who extended a helping hand to you?

Who treated you as a friend and lent you money to get through tough times?

Once you've overcome your difficulties and have money.

But still don't repay, others may not deal with you.

But I certainly will!"

At this point, Guo Feilong's expression suddenly became extremely serious.

His voice grew louder, "What I hate most in this life are those.

Who clearly have money, but shamelessly act like dead pigs unafraid of boiling water, refusing to repay.

I give you seven days to repay the money with interest.

If you don't repay within seven days, as soon as I find out.

All your property, houses, and land will be confiscated.

Even your children and descendants, for five generations, will be slaves."

The crowd in the square was taken aback.

They didn't expect Immortal Master Guo to stand up for the common folk.

Instead of selecting beauties to marry or take as concubines.

Some people in the crowd suddenly knelt down at this moment.

Bowing to Guo Feilong on the high platform: "Thank you, Master, for standing up for us common people."

Their eyes were filled with tears and gratitude.

Their relatives and friends were those who had money but didn't repay their debts.

They complained to the town mayor.

But the mayor took money from those people.

They had no way to seek justice.

They thought they would never recover their debts in this lifetime.

Unexpectedly, today, there was hope.

Those who owed money and didn't repay were now sweating profusely.

Wiping their foreheads endlessly.

Fortunately, Immortal Master Guo gave them seven days.

Without punishing them immediately.

Guo Feilong asked those kneeling in gratitude to stand up.

Then he read out the names of more than a dozen people.

These were all bullies from Yellow Rock Town, committing all sorts of evil.

Where there's a bully.

There must be a protector.

Without a protector.

Bullies have no soil to grow.

Bullies in other places can't be managed.

But on his own turf, no bully is allowed.

Even if his descendants become bullies in the future.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

He would still punish them.

Killing his own descendants is impossible, but breaking their legs is inevitable.

But if others are bullies.

They can be directly killed.

When he first arrived in Yellow Rock Town, during those few days of incognito visits.

He had already found out from the mouths of the common folk who the bullies were and who their protectors were.

The dozen people named.

All had several lives on their hands.

The town mayor of Yellow Rock Town and several town officials.

Were also named and stood in front of the crowd.

They thought it was something good.

They thought Guo Feilong had taken a liking to their daughters or granddaughters.

However, in the next moment.

Something that made everyone widen their eyes happened.

Guo Feilong patted the storage bag at his waist.

A flying sword appeared, glinting coldly in the sunlight.

"Today, I'm going to set some rules for you."

Guo Feilong waved his hand with a murderous aura.

The flying sword slashed towards the town mayor of Yellow Rock Town and others like a bolt of lightning.

How could ordinary mortals possibly dodge the flying sword of an Immortal Cultivator?

Before the town mayor of Yellow Rock Town and others could react, the flying sword had already sliced through the necks of more than a dozen people.

Thud, thud, thud...

More than a dozen heads fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and stopped.

More than a dozen bodies collapsed to the ground, leaving a pool of blood.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen living people were decapitated.

Everyone gasped in shock.

"Father!"

"Grandfather!"

"Second Brother!"

"Third Brother!"

The relatives of the Yellow Rock Town mayor present rushed over, some kneeling, some lying on their bodies, crying bitterly.

"You demon, why did you kill my father?"

"What grudge did my father have against you?"

A beautiful young girl looked up at Guo Feilong on the high platform, her eyes full of hatred.

She was the youngest daughter of the Yellow Rock Town mayor. Guo Feilong glanced at her and, as if speaking to her and everyone else, said calmly:

"The Yellow Rock Town mayor, 53 years old, has been mayor for 28 years, colluding with the town bully Dong Tianlin, has killed 17 people over the years, the most recent murder was a month ago."

Guo Feilong looked at the mayor's daughter and said, "You can't possibly be unaware or have no inkling of what your father has done. Such a villain, if not dealt with by me today, would be dealt with by someone else eventually."

The girl's face turned pale instantly, knowing what kind of person her father was.

"Well done!"

"Well done!"

In the crowd, a young man in his twenties suddenly knelt on the ground, crying, "Wife, your revenge has finally been avenged."

Half a year ago, he married a beautiful wife from the neighboring town.

The young couple was deeply in love.

A month ago, on their way to work in the fields.

His beautiful wife was taken by the mayor.

He went to the mayor's house to save his wife.

Not only was he beaten up.

The next day, his wife was found dead on the street.

Naked.

Covered in whip marks.

She died a very tragic death.

His wife's belly was already three months pregnant.

Two lives lost.

He desperately wanted to avenge his wife and unborn child, but as an ordinary small farmer, how could he possibly kill the mayor, who was always surrounded by a dozen attendants and guards?

This grudge.

He thought he would never be able to avenge in this lifetime.

Unexpectedly.

The Immortal Master avenged his wife and child today.

Bang, bang, bang!

One head after another knocked on the ground, "Thank you, Immortal Master, for avenging my wife and child."

In the next moment, at least a hundred people in the crowd knelt down, kowtowing.

Among them, some had been bullied by the mayor and bullies, some had family members who died at the hands of the mayor and bullies.

Each one was an ordinary person without power or influence. If it weren't for Guo Feilong killing the mayor and others, they would never have been able to avenge their grievances in this lifetime.

Today, their deep-seated hatred was finally avenged, and they felt infinite gratitude and respect for Guo Feilong.

Guo Feilong pointed at the bodies of the Yellow Rock Town mayor and others and said, "From now on, all their family property and land will be confiscated. In seven days, I will distribute some economic compensation to the families or individuals who were harmed by them.

Before I finish speaking about three matters, no one is allowed to leave the square. Anyone caught will be killed without mercy!"

Guo Feilong cast a spell, and a white cloud appeared under his feet, lifting him twenty meters into the air, giving him a broader view.

If anyone dared to sneak away to inform the mayor's family, his flying sword was not just for show.

"The second matter I want to announce today."

Guo Feilong held up two fingers and said, "All those who farm the land, starting this year, only need to pay a 20% tax annually."

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Immortal Master!"

Thousands of people knelt on the ground excitedly.

They were all farmers.

Every year, they had to pay a 60% tax.

Which meant that if an acre of land produced an average of 300 pounds of grain.

They had to hand over 60%, which was 180 pounds of grain.

They could only keep 120 pounds of grain for themselves.

If there was a year of natural disasters.

And the grain yield was reduced or there was no harvest at all.

The farming common folk still had to owe money to the government.

Because the government didn't care if the grain yield was reduced.

They just collected taxes based on how much land you had.

Even in years of good harvest.

After paying the taxes.

The remaining grain.

Was only enough to feed a family.

All year round, they couldn't save even three taels of silver.

Farmers were already living in such poverty.

The mayor and bullies would still find ways to exploit them through high-interest loans.

Before crossing over to the Cultivation World, Guo Feilong's family were farmers, so he cared more about the interests of the farming common folk.

He reduced the farming tax to only 20%.

So that an acre of land producing 300 pounds of grain.

The farming common folk could keep 240 pounds for themselves.

Only needing to hand over 60 pounds of grain.

They could not only eat well and be full.

But also have extra money to buy clothes.

And improve their living standards.

In the square, thousands of farming common folk knelt down in gratitude.

The prospect of a better future was right in front of them, who wouldn't be happy, excited, and grateful?

Looking at the thousands of farming common folk kneeling on the ground, Guo Feilong was genuinely happy for them, "Alright, everyone, stand up."

Once everyone stood up.

Guo Feilong said, "Now, the third matter I want to talk about is to follow me to raid the homes of those bullies and villains. From now on, my fiefdom will not allow any bully."

In the square, thousands of common folk were like they had been injected with chicken blood, their eyes gleaming green as they shouted.

"Raid the homes!"

"Raid the homes of bullies and villains!"

"Raid the homes of bullies and villains!"

The dozen people Guo Feilong killed came from nine families.

He divided the thousands of men, women, and children in the square into nine groups, instructing them to surround these nine town officials and bullies' homes, waiting for him to confiscate their properties one by one.

It's said that the rich die rich.

And the poor die poor.

***

This raid left Guo Feilong stunned by the wealth of the town officials and bullies.

Especially the mayor's home.

Twenty thousand taels of silver.

Ten thousand taels in silver bills.

Countless copper coins, piled up in heaps.

Other gold and silver jewelry and treasures were worth at least ten thousand taels of silver.

What surprised Guo Feilong the most was that in the secret compartment of the Yellow Rock Town mayor's underground chamber.

He found 2,387 low-quality spirit stones and a high-quality defensive spiritual instrument, the Kunmu Shield.

In his hundred years at the Spirit Creek Sect, he hadn't managed to get a high-quality spiritual instrument.

The flying sword in his hand was only a medium-quality spiritual instrument.

The price of a high-quality defensive spiritual instrument starts at least at ten thousand spirit stones.

Not only did he find spirit stones and spiritual instruments in the mayor's home, but in another bully's secret chamber, he also found 568 low-quality spirit stones and a medium-quality flying sword spiritual instrument.

A medium-quality flying sword spiritual instrument is worth about 1,500 to 2,000 spirit stones.

It's not uncommon for ordinary families to have spirit stones and spiritual instruments in the Cultivation World, after all, whose ancestors haven't had an Immortal Cultivator?

According to investigations, the Yellow Rock Town mayor's family settled in Yellow Rock Town over a hundred and fifty years ago from elsewhere, but no one knows where their ancestors came from.

Perhaps, only the mayor, whom he had already killed, knew, but that was unimportant to Guo Feilong.

Anyway, those spirit stones and the high-quality defensive spiritual instrument, the Kunmu Shield, were his now.

Regarding the management of Yellow Rock Town, Guo Feilong only wanted to be a hands-off manager enjoying the benefits, not wanting to manage personally, so he needed to appoint a new town mayor.

Among the people nominated by the common folk, he chose someone with good character and high prestige to be the town mayor, responsible for handling town affairs.

The former mayor's mansion now became his mansion, with new maids and guards, totaling more than fifty people.
