Yan City, Mo Clan.
Ever since the last time, Mo Cheng, the pillar of the Mo family, and Mo Li, the future of the Mo family, tried to rob but failed and were killed by Jiang Ping.
The power of the Mo Clan plummeted from then on.
Without Mo Cheng as the pillar, the threat posed by the Mo Clan has decreased a lot.
In addition, they actually dared to attack Jiang Ping and Nalan Yanran. It is impossible for Yunlan Sect to take care of them anymore. Not destroying them is already the greatest mercy.
Without the support of Mo Cheng and Yunlan Sect, the Mo Clan's status in Yan City plummeted, and it fell from being the overlord of the city to a second-rate force.
The Mo Clan once controlled nearly 60% of Yan City's industries, but now they have all been lost.
Mo Clan Territory.
The once bustling and prosperous Mo Clan is now in a state of decline and its popularity has faded. The luxurious gate is now in several tatters and there is not even a guard at the door.
In the hall.
The only remaining people of the Mo Clan are here. Including the head of the Mo Clan, Mo Lan, there are only ten people left in total, all of whom are the Elders of the Mo Clan.
The other servants had already run away and disappeared.
In addition to them, there is another group of arrogant people - Bor, the lord of Yan City!
Behind him was a group of well-trained soldiers.
"Master Mo, why don't you just hand over your Mo family's assets honestly? Why are you so stubborn?" The pot-bellied Bor persuaded earnestly.
"I never thought that our Mo family would one day fall to such a state." Mo Lan was feeling bitter.
Thinking back to the time when their Mo Clan was so glorious, they even established a Mo Alliance, which became a behemoth that could easily control the northeastern province of the Jia Ma Empire.
Who would have thought that not long after that, their Mo Clan would become like this.
How sad and ridiculous fate works.
"The Mo Clan is in this situation today because you brought this upon yourselves. "
"You could have been well off with the support of the Yunlan Sect, but you chose to bring about your own deaths. No one can save you now."
"So, if you hand over all of your Mo Clan assets, perhaps I can save your lives."
Bor said with a smile.
Mo Lan felt bitter.
Although he was reluctant, he had to hand over his storage ring in the end.
The keys to dozens of Mo Clan treasure troves are stored here, and are their most precious possessions.
Bor took the Storage Ring with greed in his eyes and quickly checked what was inside.
"Are you satisfied now?" Mo Lan said unwillingly, his eyes full of resentment.
When their Mo Clan was flourishing, Bor spoke kindly and respectfully to them.
Now that the Mo Clan has declined, he is the one targeting them the most.
"As I said you can only blame yourselves for your stupidity."
After getting the Storage Ring, Bor nodded with satisfaction and turned to leave the Mo family.
When he reached the gate, he said to the people beside him: "Kill them all, leave no one alive."
"Yes!"
All the soldiers raised their weapons immediately.
"Bor, you bastard!" Mo Cheng yelled angrily.
Bor had left, leaving them with only the cold blade.
...
"All of the Mo family's wealth has finally fallen into my hands."
Bor was in a good mood. Looking at the shops on the street, the ones that originally flew the Mo Clan banner had now all been replaced with his own banner.
"Starting today, the rent of all shops will increase by 10%!"
His 'heroic' words echoed throughout the street, immediately causing countless people to wail.
Bor, the lord of Yan City.
When Mo Jia was in charge of 60% of the shops in Yan City, he did not have any outstanding performance.
But everyone knows that Bor is much more brutal!
Before the development of Mo Clan, the taxation of the city Lord Bor was extremely harsh, which made the people of Yan city miserable.
Later, the Mo Clan grew stronger and seized 60% of the shops in Yan city. It then negotiated with Bor and managed to reduce taxes.
Now that Mo Clan is in decline, no one can restrict Bor anymore.
"Damn it, I didn't expect that the Mo family would decline and let this guy Bor take control of the entire Yan City again!"
"f**k, I really want to kill this fat pig!"
"Are you crazy? How dare you say such a thing? Be careful if it gets to Lord Bor's ears, you will be in deep troubles!"
Many people are filled with resentment, but there is nothing they can do.
In this world where the strong prey on the weak, people like them who have no strength and can only survive by doing business are destined to be bullied.
...
City Lord's Mansion.
Bor's eyes widened as he looked at the boxes of things in front of him that were moved back from the Mo Clan treasure troves.
"Tier-5 Alchemy Pill, Tier-5 Magic beast Core, high-level medicinal materials... The Mo family has really collected too many good things over the years. They are almost catching up with me."
All Bor's eyes were filled with these treasures.
It must be said that the Mo family has a deep foundation. It has only been a few years since they became the overlord of Yan city, but they have already accumulated so many good things.
"But now these things are mine."
Bor couldn't help but smile.
Is there any use for Mo Clan great ambition? Didn't they die in the end?
"Someone, put all these things in my cellar."
Bor shouted.
But no one came in.
"Where are all the people? Didn't they hear me?"
"I think the City Lord Bor will not be able to take these things back." A clear, pleasant, and somewhat indifferent voice came from outside the door, and then a man and a woman walked in.
"You are... from Yunlan Sect?!"
Bor really wanted to get angry, but when he saw the faces of the two people in front of him, he was shocked.
The people who came were none other than Nalan Yanran and Jiang Ping!
Jiang Ping and Nalan Yanran had both attended Mo Cheng's birthday party, so Bor had an impression of them.
And Nalan Yanran was the Young Sect Master of Yunlan Sect, so he remembered her very clearly.
"Young Sect Master, why didn't you tell me in advance before you came? So that my subordinates could pick you up in advance." Bor said.
"If I had told you in advance, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to see this scene." Jiang Ping looked at the big boxes of treasures, all of which were worth a lot of money.
"Lord Bor, we understand that the various taxes you collect from shops in Yan City are 60% of the income, is that right?" Nalan Yanran was not confused by Bor's superficial appearance and went straight to the crux of the matter.
"This..." Bor didn't expect them to ask such a serious question as soon as they arrived, and he couldn't think of how to answer it for a while.
Nalan Yanran continued: "Starting today, Yan City tax rate will be reduced to half."
"Half? Young Sect Master, that won't work. Half of the tax revenue is not even enough for the Yan City soldiers to have food, clothing and other necessities." Bor was anxious.
Cutting Yan City tax revenue by half in one fell swoop, that's like cutting a piece of his flesh.
"Not enough? I don't think it's enough for you, Lord Bor." Nalan Yanran said calmly.
"As far as I know, what Lord Bor has plundered in the past few years is enough to support the expenses of so many soldiers in Yan City for several years, right? I think we should take out all the treasures in Lord Bor's treasury and distribute them to everyone."
"What ?!"
