Chapter 582: Favorable Treatment

"Senior Sister Luo Qiu, all the Da Luo Golden Immortals from the Immortal Tribes have come to our Human Race…"

That day, Jiang Luo Qiu was handling some affairs for the Human Race when she suddenly received a report from a subordinate.

"What happened?" Jiang Luo Qiu quickly asked her subordinate.

"The Da Luo Golden Immortals from the Dragon and Phoenix Tribes have arrived. They said they wanted to meet with you, Senior Sister Luo Qiu." The subordinate continued.

"Want to meet me?" Jiang Luo Qiu was taken aback.

She was just a young cultivator at the Golden Immortal Realm; how could she have the ability to make distinguished Da Luo Golden Immortals seek her out?

"It’s true, Senior Sister Luo Qiu, you need to come! That group of Da Luo Golden Immortals is waiting in the Wa Huang Hall."

"Okay, I’ll be right there."

Jiang Luo Qiu replied and quickly rushed to the teleportation array.

Although Jiang Luo Qiu was only a Golden Immortal, she was the main authority for the entire Human Race in the Kunlun Realm.

This meant that she managed and made rules for the entire Human Race all by herself.

In addition, she also overseen several of the worlds conquered by Li Xiaojun, handling matters in one small world approximately every decade.

Jiang Luo Qiu had a remarkable talent for organization and management, which placed her second only to Li Xiaojun’s direct descendants.

As long as she participated in managing various worlds, she didn’t have to do much; Li Xiaojun directly elevated her to the Golden Immortal Realm using merit.

If she had to cultivate by herself, it would take her tens of thousands of years.

…

Soon, Jiang Luo Qiu arrived at the Wa Huang Hall.

Seeing a group of Da Luo, Jiang Luo Qiu was about to greet them, but in the next moment, she was taken aback by their attitudes.

"Hello, Dao Friend Jiang!"

"Ao Xing greets Dao Friend Jiang…"

"Dao Friend Jiang…"

Facing the evident flattery from the group of Da Luo Golden Immortals, Jiang Luo Qiu was at a loss for words.

However, she quickly guessed why these Da Luo Golden Immortals had come to see her and why they were being so obsequious.

She had long known about Yan Qingling cleaning up the Demon Realm and then ruling over it.

Now, this group of Da Luo Golden Immortals likely came out of fear that Yan Qingling might take action against them.

"Dao Friend Jiang, I come representing my Dragon Tribe to submit to the Human Race. The Kunlun Realm has suffered long-term invasions from the demon tribe. It was the Human Race who defeated the demons and brought bright days back to the Kunlun Realm. Only the Human Race can lead our Immortal Tribes towards better development, so my Dragon Tribe is willing to follow the Human Race."

Dragon Tribe Ao Xing spoke with grandiloquence; if someone didn’t know better, they might think he was the strong party.

"Yes, my Phoenix Tribe thinks the same. The Kunlun Realm can only thrive under the Human Race’s rule. My Phoenix Tribe is also willing to submit to the Human Race…" The Phoenix Tribe Da Luo quickly stated as well.

Hearing that both mid-stage Da Luo were expressing their willingness, the Da Luo from the other tribes also stepped forward, declaring their readiness to submit to the Human Race.

In light of such a situation, Jiang Luo Qiu immediately contacted Li Xiaojun and Yan Qingling, informing them about the situation with the Dragon and Phoenix Tribes.

Upon hearing Jiang Luo Qiu’s words, Li Xiaojun said, "Submitting is fine, but all tribes must accept the Human Race’s rule and pay taxes to the Human Race…"

Li Xiaojun was not prepared to hunt down all the beast tribe in the Kunlun Realm, after all, the Human Race had always been one of the ten major Immortal Tribes, and there wasn’t any deep hatred between the beast tribes and the Human Race.

Li Xiaojun’s idea was that the beast tribes could surrender, but they must accept the rule of the Human Race.

Of course, Li Xiaojun set very strict standards for rulers, ensuring that no situation would arise where officials oppressed the people.

What he wanted was simply the various resources produced by the beast tribes.

Moreover, he wouldn’t set the tax rate too high, allowing it to be at a level that various tribes could accept.

After all, the Human Race had already occupied one-third of the territory in the Kunlun Realm, which was enough for their development.

After receiving Li Xiaojun’s instructions,

Jiang Luo Qiu quickly began negotiations with a group of beast tribe Da Luo.

She directly laid out Li Xiaojun’s requirements but slightly increased the tax rate, raising it from twenty percent to twenty-five percent to give the beast tribe Da Luo some room for bargaining.

However, to her surprise, the group of beast tribe Da Luo readily agreed upon hearing Jiang Luo Qiu’s terms.

What Jiang Luo Qiu didn’t know was that the various tribes were now aware of how the Human Race ruled over the demon tribe.

First, all demon tribe powerhouses at the Golden Immortal Realm and above were completely exterminated before the Human Race established absolute rule over the demon tribe.

Now, Jiang Luo Qiu was only asking for a nominal rule by the Human Race and to collect a little more than twenty percent in taxes.

If they didn’t agree, in case Yan Qingling decided to cleanse them, the Human Race would still be able to rule over the entire Kunlun Realm, but it would be the end for them then.

So, let alone the fact that Jiang Luo Qiu presented such conditions, even if they were more severe, they would agree for the sake of their lives.

They certainly did not want to meet the same fate as the demon tribe Da Luo.

Besides, the demon tribe Da Luo had two late-stage Da Luo and five mid-stage Da Luo powerhouses.

Not to mention the late-stage Da Luo, just the five mid-stage Da Luo could effortlessly defeat this group of Immortal Tribes Da Luo.

After all, on the Immortal Tribes side, only the Da Luo from the Dragon and Phoenix Tribes were at mid-stage Da Luo.

If the powerful demon tribe could be wiped out by Yan Qingling with ease, then exterminating their mid-stage and early-stage Da Luo would be even simpler.

"Dad, the beast tribe has agreed to my demands. I raised the tax rate by five percentage points, thinking I could negotiate with them, but they instantly agreed," Jiang Luo Qiu reported to Li Xiaojun.

"That’s fine. You are now the spokesperson for the Human Race; just handle it as you see fit. If there’s any danger, remember to call for support," Li Xiaojun told Jiang Luo Qiu.

Li Xiaojun was quite confident in Jiang Luo Qiu’s abilities.

After a group of beast tribe Da Luo came to pledge allegiance to the Human Race,

Soon, other races without Da Luo Golden Immortals began sending their representatives to the Human Race to express their surrender.

For these tribes, Jiang Luo Qiu treated them all equally, offering the same terms as for the Dragon and Phoenix Tribes.

Naturally, some tribes were given preferential treatment or higher taxes.

These tribes were originally vassal tribes of the Human Race before Li Xiaojun arrived in the Kunlun Realm.

After the demise of the Da Luo of the Human Race, some tribes rebelled against the Human Race while others did not.

For the tribes that rebelled, Jiang Luo Qiu uniformly raised their tax rate to thirty percent.

However, for those tribes that did not rebel, Jiang Luo Qiu only collected fifteen percent, ten percentage points lower than the Dragon and Phoenix Tribes.

But such tribes were few in number.

Having historically been one of the ten major Immortal Tribes, like the other nine, the Human Race also had a large group of vassal tribes.

However, after the death of the Da Luo of the Human Race, most of the vassal tribes severed their ties with the Human Race.

In the end, only eight tribes firmly stood with the Human Race.

Thus, Jiang Luo Qiu was certainly going to offer preferential treatment to these eight tribes.
