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.
