Soon after, a grand handover ceremony was held in Bayue City.
Although everyone knows that Bayue City has been included in the sphere of influence of the Sun Federation, this handover ceremony is certified by the city guild.
Even in the opening stage, Yang Tianzhi, the president of the city guild, came on stage to cut the ribbon in person, which was a great deal.
In this way, Ba Yue City belongs to the Sun Federation, which can be regarded as the rightful name and the expected return.
The entire scene was filled with a festive atmosphere.
At the end of the ceremony, Henry Zhang also took this opportunity to step onto the stage and made an announcement:
"Now that the Sun Federation has been established not long ago, we welcome everyone to invest in the construction, and no one will be turned away!"
"Anyone who invests 100,000 Yuan Dan can be exempted from taxes for the first three years!"
This speech also aroused fierce reactions from the audience, and cheers continued for a while.
After all, being able to reduce taxes on early investments is a very attractive thing to anyone.
…
As expected,
In less than two days, hundreds of businessmen and more than a dozen large and small chambers of commerce came from various places and promised to invest in the Sun Federation.
The largest number of them are the merchants and chambers of commerce of the Golden Federation.
You know, the Golden Federation's taxes have always been very strict, charging 20% of profits every year, which makes the local merchants and chambers of commerce miserable.
Now, when the Sun Federation was founded, it actually promised to reduce taxes and fees for three years. This has undoubtedly become a favorite in the eyes of many merchants and chambers of commerce.
And as more and more merchants and chambers of commerce flock to the Sun Federation, it means that more and more merchants and chambers of commerce are leaving the Golden Federation.
This was a huge blow to the Golden Federation, which had already lost Bayue City.
It was like walking on the road and getting stabbed abruptly, or the kind that cut on a major artery.
Do you think it hurts?
Forced into desperation, Zhang Yupeng finally chose to make a desperate move!
So, not long after,
Zhang Yupeng took his men, horses, and a group of boys and girls to a barren mountain.
This barren mountain is always dark and gloomy, and many people have died there.
Not only ordinary people dare not approach this place, but even cultivators keep a respectful distance from this place.
But Zhang Yupeng didn't seem to have any worries, and walked straight into the barren mountains.
More than an hour later,
Zhang Yupeng arrived at the deepest part of the barren mountain, where the Yin Qi is most intense.
I saw him flying/dismounting, arriving in front of a pile of rocks, half-kneeling down facing the front, and saying in an unprecedentedly respectful tone: "See you, Lord Ghost King!"
Not long after he finished speaking, there was a sudden strong wind on the lonely and gloomy rocky hill.
The billowing black smoke billowed up and gathered into a huge outline of ghosts, making the already dark sky even more oppressive and gloomy.
A pair of soul-stirring eyes were revealed in the black smoke. He looked at the kneeling Zhang Yupeng and neighed, "Where are this year's tributes?"
"It's been delivered."
Zhang Yupeng waved to the back, and a group of blindfolded boys and girls were escorted up.
Seeing that there were less than ten people, the ghost king in the sky flashed his eyes, and his tone became colder: "That's all you sent?"
Feeling the sudden drop in temperature of the surrounding air, Zhang Yupeng immediately shuddered and quickly explained: "Master Ghost King, this is not what I want, but something has happened to the Golden Federation recently..."
"What's the matter?" asked the Ghost King.
"We are fighting against a federation called Yanyang. So far, we have lost nearly 200,000 troops. There are not many strong men left in the Foundation Establishment Realm and the Spirit Gathering Realm. The five cities of the Golden Federation have also been destroyed by the opponent.
Occupied!" Zhang Yupeng said through gritted teeth.
"Hmph, it's just a human federation, but it can push the leader of your Golden Federation to this point?" the Ghost King said with a disdainful sneer.
"Master Ghost King doesn't know something. This Sun Federation is very evil. They were originally just a bronze-level city, but for some reason, they suddenly rose up recently and there were many powerful people. Even our Golden Federation is no match!" Zhang Yupeng was helpless!
road.
"Explaining so much, to put it bluntly, you are a waste!" the Ghost King mocked.
"yes……"
Zhang Yupeng could only agree with a wry smile.
"Forget it, since you have served me for so many years, I will help you!"
The Ghost King said as he waved his hand.
In an instant, the entire rocky hillock was filled with black smoke, covering the sky and the sun!
I saw the bodies of ghosts walking out of the black smoke, looking ferocious.
At a glance, the mountains and plains are full of ghosts, which makes one’s scalp numb!
Zhang Yupeng couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Even though he was the strongest man in the Golden Federation, he couldn't help but feel fear when facing so many ghosts.
"These men of my king are invulnerable, immortal and immortal! Take them to the battlefield and I will ensure that you are invincible!" The Ghost King said with a sinister smile.
Hearing this, Zhang Yupeng suddenly showed a look of ecstasy and clenched his fists!
"Made, with these ghosts, Henry, are you still alive?!"
"However, before taking away these king's men, I have one condition." The ghost king said slowly.
"What conditions?" Zhang Yupeng asked.
"From now on, I will need a thousand boys and girls every year. The number can only be more but not less. Do you understand?" the Ghost King said in an unquestionable tone.
A thousand boys and girls?
Can we only have more and not less?
Even Zhang Yupeng couldn't help but take a breath of air.
In the past, the number of boys and girls he worshiped was only three to four hundred at most. Unexpectedly, this time, the ghost king actually asked for a thousand people at a time!
This is simply like a lion opening its mouth!
However, now that the matter has come to this, there is no room for Zhang Yupeng to refuse.
And with these ghost army, he can conquer not only ten cities, but even a hundred cities!
Thinking about this, Zhang Yupeng nodded and agreed.
"no problem!"
"very good!"
The Ghost King nodded with satisfaction and waved again, a thick black smoke directly rolled up the ten boys and girls and swallowed them into his mouth.
Amidst the shrill cries, the boys and girls turned into the purest essence of flesh and blood and merged into the ghost king's body.
After doing all this, the Ghost King looked at Zhang Yupeng again and said:
"By the way, just in case, here is a Weeping Blood Yin Jue Dan, which can be taken in critical moments and can help you increase a lot of cultivation."
As he said that, a wisp of black smoke came to Zhang Yupeng with a bloody pill.
Zhang Yupeng was overjoyed to receive another reward from the Ghost King. He held the blood-colored elixir in his hand, treating it like a treasure.
"But I would like to remind you that taking this elixir requires the blood of a living person to activate it." The Ghost King said calmly.
"Living human blood? How much is needed?" Zhang Yupeng was stunned.
"Hehehe, you will know when the time comes." The Ghost King said mysteriously.
Zhang Yupeng felt a little unsure, but he still nodded and carefully accepted it.
Then, he left the barren mountains again with the ghosts all over the mountains and plains.
