Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny novel Chapter 467

Chapter 467: Chapter 467 Current Situation of Qingmu (First Update)

Kunlun Secret Realm.

Qingmu Town.

Qingmu Town had long since evolved from the small village it once was into a sizable city.

Normally, caravans from all over Kunlun would shuttle through here daily.

However, since last month, the number of caravans had sharply declined, and now the place was utterly deserted, without a single caravan in sight.

Bian Qingmu sat in the Council Hall, holding a decree from Jizhou City, her expression extremely grim.

Bian Hua looked on and finally couldn’t bear it any longer, standing up and saying, “Sister Qingmu, this new City Lord of Jizhou City is simply too arrogant, actually demanding that we Qingmu Town pay all our back taxes in full! But before he took office, there were none of these damn taxes at all! This is nothing but blatant extortion!”

Bian Qingmu remained silent.

“Yes! Sister Qingmu, these people are truly going too far! Are they not afraid that Immortal Master Xue An will come back and settle the score with them?” Bian Tian, who had grown into a striking young woman, couldn’t help but say angrily.

Bian Qingmu gave a wry smile at her words.

If they really were afraid, they wouldn’t have put us in this situation.

Upon calculating, it had been over two years since Xue An had left Kunlun.

In the beginning, everything proceeded as usual, and Qingmu Town prospered.

But everything had changed since last month.

First the caravans stopped coming, and then came the demands for tax payments.

But Bian Qingmu knew that all this was just the surface of the problem.

Thinking of this, Bian Qingmu couldn’t help but recall the letter she had received a few days ago from Zhu Ruyan in Kunlun City.

The situation described in that letter had also left Bian Qingmu deeply worried.

The two newly emerged forces, the Fire King Temple and the Profound Wind Tower, had taken over Kunlun City and had repeatedly declared that should Xue An dare to appear, they would certainly eliminate him.

That was the real root of Qingmu Town’s current plight. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Without the backing of these two forces, how would the Jizhou City Lord dare to be so impudent?

“Enough, don’t speak of it anymore! You two go and shut the city gates, I’ll handle these matters!” Bian Qingmu instructed.

Bian Hua and Bian Tian exchanged looks, hesitant to speak, but ultimately bowed their heads and said, “Yes!”

The siblings left the Council Hall and headed towards the city gates.

Along the way, they saw that almost none of the shops were open, and the once-bustling streets were desolate and quiet.

Bian Tian couldn’t suppress her annoyance, “These profit-seeking ingrates, when they saw our prosperity, they all flocked here, but now at the first sign of trouble, they run faster than rabbits!”

Bian Hua shook his head and sighed softly, “Enough, these merchants are just like that, they’re not worth getting angry over. The key now is to figure out how to help Sister Qingmu overcome this predicament.”

“But how can we help? The Jizhou City Lord is demanding an impossible sum! He’s basically plotting our death!” Bian Tian said dejectedly.

Bian Hua was silent for a moment, knowing that what his sister said was true, and he couldn’t help but let out a deep, long sigh.

“If only Immortal Master Xue An would come back!”

“Exactly! Only Immortal Master Xue An can deal with those damned people!” Bian Tian said bitterly.

By then, the siblings had arrived at the city gates.

The guards were all leaning sluggishly against the corner walls, gossiping idly, and didn’t show any intention of standing up even when they saw the two approaching.

Bian Tian, unable to bear it any longer, quickly walked over, “It’s time, hurry up and close the city gates!”

A few guards glanced up at Bian Tian, then lowered their heads to resume their idle chatter.
