"As long as the taxes are paid on time, they don't care about the rest. If there are any problems, the local officials will handle them."

"There is nothing we can do about this. The Lord of the Underworld has sent an envoy to inspect the area, which shows our concern."

"There is always a loophole. After all, he can't be perfect in everything."

Ye Lingyun was even more puzzled: "Don't the messengers sent by the Lord of the Underworld know about these situations?"

Only at this moment did he feel that the underworld was not as good as it seemed.

Maybe he had to stand at a certain height to discover this.

The people above can't find out, and the people below don't know that the people above don't care about them. The two sides are completely out of touch.

This phenomenon is not only found here, but also exists on Blue Star.

The people above cannot take care of so many things, after all, their main focus is cultivation.

Hugel shook his head: "I don't think I know."

"Before the Lord of the Underworld disappeared, everything was quiet and peaceful. The people of the Underworld were very satisfied with their current lives. Even when asked, they said it was good."

"But after the Lord of the Underworld disappeared, bandits appeared, and the drawbacks were immediately exposed."

"Middle-level managers want to make sure their own pockets are full, so they exploit the people below them. When the people above them are plundered by pirates, they exploit the people in the middle."

"The result is disorder and widespread complaints."

Ye Lingyun nodded: "I understand."

His eyes sparkled: "It seems that this situation needs to be changed."

Hugel sighed softly: "It's time to make some changes. My restaurant is almost going bankrupt."

"But Brother Ye should be careful. Although the island owner was suppressed by the Lord of the Underworld, he has recruited some backbones in Pluto City and trained them to improve their strength. These people are not easy to deal with."

"These people know that you, the messenger, will come, and they should have been prepared."

He added: "It's not that I don't trust Brother Ye, I just think Brother Ye should be more careful."

Zhang Fei and Zhao Zilong echoed, "Brother, you must be careful."

"I heard that this Pluto City is not the same as before. I'm afraid the Lord of the Underworld will be helpless if he comes again."

Ye Lingyun nodded: "I will be careful, you don't have to worry."

"I'm not even afraid of the island owner, let alone the people here."

He thought that no matter how powerful the people here were, they could not be more powerful than the island owner.

When Hugel and the other two said that the warriors here were powerful, they were standing at their own level.

As they were talking, the three of them walked to the gate.

Looking up, there was no one on the city wall, and no flags were seen.

at this time.

With a creaking sound, the heavy city gate opened.

A burly man with a towering figure appeared in everyone's sight, and a resonant voice like a bronze bell rang out: "Who is Hugel?"

It was obvious that this person already knew that Hugel was coming and was waiting here specially.

Hugel immediately stepped forward and said, "I am Hugel."

As he spoke, he took out a storage bag from his arms and handed it to the big man: "I'm bringing three people in, please be lenient."

The big man checked the storage bag and finally curled his lips: "You said before that you came in alone, why did you bring these three people with you?"

"There are many people plotting rebellion recently. I dare not let them in. You should go in by yourself."

As he spoke, he calmly put away the storage bag, with a hint of displeasure appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Hu Geer was slightly stunned: "Well, I'm sorry, I don't know the recent rules."

As he spoke, he took out another storage bag and put some more Nether Stones in it: "Please be flexible!"

The big man was not polite. He scanned the number of dark stones inside and nodded with satisfaction: "You have a good eye. You can go in."

He stared at Ye Lingyun, Zhang Fei and Zhao Zilong: "The three of you remember this, don't run around, come out as soon as the matter is over, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"

Ye Lingyun nodded without saying anything.

After Ye Lingyun and the other two went in, the big man took out a conch shell from his arms and said, "The four piglets have gone in. I'll take five times the amount, and you can take the other five times."

"It's okay if you charge more. I think they are well-dressed and honest. You can get as much as you can."

The conch immediately said, "Got it. It's an emergency. We should catch as much as we can."

"By the way, please pay attention to the messenger. You should pay attention when he comes."

The big man chuckled and said indifferently: "So what if he comes?"

"The Lord of the Underworld is so weak that he can't do anything to us. His messengers are even more useless. Don't worry about them."

"If the messenger comes, I will charge more and see what he can do to me."

Ye Lingyun didn't expect that he was treated like a piglet.

Fortunately, he did not reveal his identity, otherwise Hu Geer would have revealed more.

But as soon as he entered the door, he was stunned.

There were three checkpoints ahead, all blocked by movable black iron fences that were one person tall. On both sides of each black iron fence, there were two iron tower men in armor standing there, both of them were level 16 warriors.

A man in a wide robe stood in the middle, squinting his eyes as he watched the people walking into the city gate.

This person's realm has actually reached level seventeen!

Hu Geer was slightly stunned: "What's going on?"

He felt something was wrong: "The last time I came in was five years ago, there was no fence here, why is there a fence now?"

Ye Lingyun had a blank expression on his face: "That's easy, just collect the money."

"The man guarding the gate just now said that we are all piglets and need to harvest more."

Hugel paused, a trace of anger on his face: "They are really going too far. Aren't they afraid that you, Envoy Ye, will come to inspect?"

Ye Lingyun sneered: "Once they confirm my identity, they will charge more money."

"Because they think they are so powerful that they are not even afraid of the Lord of the Underworld, let alone a messenger like me."

Huger's face changed drastically when he heard this: "So they are planning not to listen to the Lord of the Underworld."

He frowned and said, "In that case, there should be a warrior above level 18 among them."

"It is said in our underworld that the strength of the Lord of the Underworld is roughly equivalent to that of a level 20 warrior when in full health. The underworld of Blue Star has reached the pinnacle."

"Could it be that..."

He looked at Ye Lingyun and said, "Let's go back and wait for you to report to the Lord of the Underworld before making a decision."

Ye Lingyun shook his head slightly: "I'm afraid things are not that simple. I'm afraid we can't get out of this."

"But your rumors are wrong. Your warrior training system is different from the Lord of the Underworld's training system. Even if you reach level 20, you are no match for the Lord of the Underworld."

Then he looked at Zhang Fei and Zhao Zilong and said, "I'll tell you to do it later, so do it."
