Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

The war with the barbarians is still going on. As a thorn in the barbarians' sphere of influence, Windward City will receive more and more resources in the following years.

As for Zhou Yiqiao, who was specially placed in the Tongyao Department by Li Wenshi, his "career" also flourished because of the sect's attention.

Finally, time turned to the beginning of the month.

In front of the Demon Tong Department, a group of monster beasts of different shapes had already blocked the entrance to the Demon Tong Department.

As soon as the hour arrived, the gate of Tongyao Department opened, and Zhou Yiqiao slowly walked out of the courtyard with Seven Swords and three young men in the Qi Refining realm.

What comes into view are various human beings who retain some of the characteristics of the demon clan. Each of them has at least the strength of the Golden Core Realm.

Among the demons, there was a tiger demon in the early stage of becoming a god, with his face covered with white down, his hands clasped in his fists lower than the ground, and he seemed to be the representative of the demons asking for salary this time.

The tiger demon originally thought that Zhou Yiqiao would come forward to chat with him for the sake of his higher cultivation level.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi didn't raise his head from the bridge. After letting the three servants place papers and pens on the long table, he sat carelessly on a mahogany chair brought by Qijian and said loudly.

"Thank you for your hard work, fellow demon clan members. We will start the salary distribution for this month now!"

All the demons were stunned when they heard this, and immediately looked at the tiger demon who was guarding them, waiting for what the other party would say.

This tiger demon did not disappoint everyone's expectations. He slammed his hand the size of a cattail leaf fan on the long table and said sternly.

"Are you the human monk who will be responsible for distributing tributes to my grandfathers from now on?"

Hearing that the tiger demon was so rude, Qijian immediately scolded him regardless of the opponent's strength far exceeding his own.

"Don't be rude! The young master is the director of the Demon Communication Department appointed by Elder Li. If you are rude to the young master, you just don't take Elder Li in the Fusion Realm seriously!"

This trick of pulling the tiger's skin and pulling the flag really worked. When he heard the power of the fox from the Seven Swords, the tiger demon's aura instantly weakened by three points.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Zhou Yiqiao smiled and waved his hand, signaling Qijian to retreat.

"Okay Seven Swords, these demon brothers are all heroes who help our Nether Demon Sect protect Windward City. Comrades should get along with each other in a friendly manner, why should they be so aggressive."

He looked up again at the condescending tiger demon in front of him, asked a boy to bring a seat, and invited him.

"Since this fellow Taoist is the first to speak out, then Zhou will give you the salary first, fellow Taoist."

As he said that, Zhou Yiqiao reached out and touched it, and a shabby storage bag appeared in front of the tiger demon.

The tiger monster reached out and grabbed the storage bag. After a brief inspection, his face suddenly became even more ugly.

He threw the storage bag onto Zhou Yiqiao's chest, the fur on his face stood up, and his expression was fierce, as if he wanted to devour Zhou Yiqiao on the spot!

"The salary in the storage bag is 60% less than last month. Are you trying to amuse me?"

Zhou Yiqiao's expression did not change, and his smile remained unchanged.

"Fellow Taoist, as you said, that was last month's salary. Starting from today, the Tongyao Department is in charge of Zhou. The amount of salary given to you will naturally be decided by Zhou."

As soon as these words came out, the tiger demon was completely angered.

The power of the divine realm suddenly erupted, sweeping the entire venue in the blink of an eye.

This coercion did not distinguish between friend and foe. Everyone, including the many demon cultivators behind him, felt the fear coming from the depths of their souls. They fought with each other, almost wanting to leave first.

But among all the monks lying on the ground, Zhou Yiqiao remained calm and unaffected at all.

Seeing Zhou Yiqiao's state, the tiger demon was shocked.

He knew better than anyone how much pressure he exerted on Zhou Yiqiao.

With such coercion, if he met some god-transforming monks with weak foundations, he would be able to make them surrender instantly, but now that he had failed against a human monk in the late Nascent Soul stage, he was shocked and angry.

"Okay, no wonder you dare to deduct the tribute from me. It turns out that you are an experienced cannon with some strength!"

His head had completely transformed back into a tiger's head, and the fishy wind from his mouth hit Zhou Yiqiao's face as he spoke, which was disgusting.

Zhou Yiqiao closed his nose, opened the storage bag that the other party threw back, and took out a jade bottle containing a fifth-level elixir, looking businesslike.

"You should be punished for contradicting the director of the Demon Communication Department, not to mention that Taoist friend is one of the few extremely god-transforming demon cultivators among the demon clan in Windward City. He should set an example for other demon cultivators."

"This Tingfeng Pill is a punishment for fellow Taoist. I hope that fellow Taoist can take it as a warning and not do it again."

"That's unreasonable!"

After being humiliated many times by Zhou Yiqiao, the tiger demon finally couldn't bear the anger in his heart.

Pure white hair quickly grew on his arms, and after only three breaths, he transformed back into the shape of an animal paw.

"Today I will let you know the fate of this respected uncle!"

He waved out his palms, and the wind of his palms was like a knife. Amidst the roaring and echoing sound, a golden claw mark that covered the sky condensed in front of him, turned upside down, and went straight to Zhou Yiqiao to kill him.

"If you try to threaten the head of the Demon Communication Department with force, you will be beaten again!"

Zhou Yiqiao shouted loudly, and immediately gathered all the spiritual power in his body, condensing a nine-layer spiritual shield in front of him, blocking this divine attack!

"How can it be!"

Seeing Zhou Yiqiao easily cross the steps to block the tiger demon's attack, all the monks in front of the Demon Communication Department became stunned!

"This person is only at the late stage of Nascent Soul. He is two small steps and one big step behind Brother Hu. His strength is hugely different. How can he stop him!"

Although because of the defense against this divine attack, 20% of the spiritual power in Zhou Yiqiao's body instantly evaporated.

But after hearing someone scream in surprise, he continued to maintain an inscrutable state, raised his head and looked directly at the tiger demon surnamed Hu who had become nine feet tall, and said calmly.

"If Fellow Daoist Hu wants to fight Zhou, Zhou will accompany you."

"But Fellow Daoist Hu must be aware that you have violated the rules of the Tongyao Division. After your defeat, your salary for the next three months will be confiscated by the Tongyao Division."

After hearing this, because he couldn't clearly see Zhou Yiqiao's specific strength, the tiger demon was already retreating in his heart, and he nodded fiercely.

"In that case, I will accompany you, a weak human monk, to compete!"

After speaking, he leaned over and grabbed Zhou Yiqiao's shoulders, and suddenly disappeared with Zhou Yiqiao, flying into the clouds directly above Windward City.

As soon as the two of them stood still, Li Wenshi appeared in front of them.

"Private fighting is prohibited in Windward City. I will watch the competition between you two."

"In the present situation of the barbarians, you are still comrades-in-arms after all, and you can compete for victory or defeat. Don't kill in pain!"

After saying this, the old man swept back, and at the same time, a powerful protective formation appeared around Zhou Yiqiao and the tiger demon.
