Bab 1242: Chapter 494: Immortal Selection Convention_3

In Qingyang Country here, this is the relationship between Immortal Sects and mortals.

If this year's celestial selection really fails to produce an Immortal Species, Qing Mountain Pavilion wouldn't mind at all directly extracting taxes exceeding one hundred percent, driving the tens of thousands of townspeople to their deaths.

After all, these mortals can't resist and pose no threat.

Even if driven to death, it's just one city's people.

There are thousands of similar cities within Qingyang Country, with over a thousand under the control of Qing Mountain Pavilion; they truly do not care about the likes of No Water City.

Should the people here perish, a new group can be relocated from elsewhere, and in a few years, it'll be a new city.

Several hundred thousand ants wouldn't take more than a few years to replace; in the vast population of hundreds of millions under Qingyang Country's rule, it would only take a year or two, or even just a few months, to recover.
