Chapter 2428

By the time Ouyang Tianyun realized she had become a lonely figure in the Immortal Palace and rushed back to the Suiyuan Pharmacy, Zhu Yanyi and her companions had already played bandits several times.

A Slice of Cloud appeared again. This time, he didn’t come alone; he brought helpers. Regardless of the details, it proved one thing: the bandit A Slice of Cloud was not acting alone.

People naturally remembered the Cold Family’s immortal treasures, and many wanted to confront A Slice of Cloud again. However, no matter how high a cultivator’s realm was, if they came, they would be robbed.

As bandits, A Slice of Cloud and his group were the real deal. They only took wealth and nothing else. They didn’t care about lives. So, anyone who came, regardless of their cultivation level, was stripped clean. After this happened a few times, no one dared to take the road through this lawless zone anymore.

Zhu Yanyi couldn’t believe that after only a few raids, the prey stopped coming. She pouted. “Looks like we need to change locations.”

The Empress nodded. “I was just getting interested, and now there’s no prey. That won’t do. Let’s find another place to rob.”

“You’re robbing too fiercely. You can’t drain the pond to catch all the fish at once. If you leave some face for people, they might still come. You should leave them something as a token,” the Black Emperor suggested from the side.

Although the three men participated in the "Weather Forecast Explosion" group, they never fought. This was mainly because the Empress and the others’ cultivation was too high for anyone to handle. Plus, Zhu Yanyi just threw medicine when she went out, so there was no danger at all. Therefore, they just cheered for their wives from the sidelines.

Zhu Yanyi tilted her head and thought. “It seems the Black Emperor has a point.”

“When have I ever been wrong? What I say is always very reasonable,” the Black Emperor said seriously.

Zhu Yanyi glanced at the Black Emperor, then said to the Empress, “How about we issue a declaration? From now on, this place is our main robbing ground. Anyone passing through must pay a toll.”

“This mountain is opened by me, this tree is planted by me. If you want to pass, leave your toll money. Is that what you mean?” the Immortal Empress asked.

Zhu Yanyi gave a thumbs-up. “Exactly! We’ve seen TV dramas and movies. Isn’t that how bandits do it? Should we set some bandit rules?”

“Great,” the Empress and the Immortal Empress said, enthusiastically joining in.

Ouyang Tianyun nearby didn’t want to say anything anymore. Her adoptive mother had been lured by Zhu Yanyi to become a bandit. The problem was, the Black Emperor and the Empress were also there. They had left the Immortal Palace together, and she hadn’t known.

Not knowing was fine, after all, they were the Black Emperor and the Empress. As long as everyone was safe, it was okay. He could return to the lawless zone anyway. But when he returned, he found that the Black Emperor and his wife, along with his adoptive parents, had combined with the Yan Emperor and his wife to form a "Weather Forecast Explosion Bandit Legion."

A legion? At least have a team. But there was none. Just these six people.

Six people was fine, after all, they were all big shots. Even Zhu Yanyi, with the lowest cultivation, was now an Immortal Saint. So, this group was absolutely full of big shots. And these big shots were enthusiastically playing bandits.

They ignored all the matters of the Azure Sovereign Sect.

Ouyang Tianyun rubbed his forehead, but no one dared to stop them.

Others had been sent away by Zhuge Hongwen to do tasks. When Zhuge Hongwen heard Ouyang Tianyun call them "adoptive father and mother," she knew two of them were Ouyang Tianyun’s adoptive parents. Since they played so well with Zhu Yanyi, they must know each other. Most importantly, the aura of superiors radiating from them made Zhuge Hongwen realize these were no ordinary people. Therefore, although she didn’t know their origins, Zhuge Hongwen didn’t curiously ask.

Now, seeing them so enthusiastic about being bandits, Zhuge Hongwen understood Ouyang Tianyun’s helplessness. These people clearly treated banditry as a game.

“How about we put up a 'Weather Forecast Explosion Robbery Regulation' sign on the road?” the Immortal Empress suggested from the side.

The Empress pondered. “This method is good. Let’s discuss what regulations to include.”

“Keep it simple. The general rule is: This mountain is opened by me, this tree is planted by me. If you want to pass, leave your toll money. Then, the charging requirements: Cultivators passing through pay according to their realm. Heavenly Immortals pay one piece of top-grade Immortal Jade. Immortals pay two pieces of top-grade Immortal Jade, increasing accordingly. The higher the realm, the more they pay. Ordinary Immortal Realm residents pay ten pieces of low-grade Immortal Jade or one piece of mid-grade Immortal Jade per person. Members of Immortal Realm families or sects: those who have graduated follow the cultivator rules. Those who haven’t graduated, each family member or sect disciple pays ten pieces of mid-grade Immortal Jade or one piece of high-grade Immortal Jade. If bodyguards pass, they must leave one-third of the wealth they are protecting or equivalent Immortal Jade. These are the ones I thought of. Do you have any others?”

Zhu Yanyi shared her ideas with the big family.

The Empress said, “What about those from other realms who come to the Immortal Realm for tourism or business and need to pass through here? They must hand over one-third of their personal property to pass. What do you think?”

“Hmm, that’s good,” the Immortal Empress said. “Our road isn’t for people to walk freely.”

“I think so too,” the Empress nodded seriously.

“Then let’s decide on that,” Zhu Yanyi chimed in, and everyone started working out the details.

Yan Aohan and the others just watched everything happen without stopping it. Or rather, they didn’t want to stop it. To them, there was no need to stop it. If their wives wanted to play, it was better for them to play happily.

Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan watched everything with smiles.

The Black Emperor and the Immortal Emperor had black lines floating above their heads, but since their wives wanted to be perfect bandits, they could only help.

Soon, a stone tablet was erected in this lawless zone, with the regulations clearly written on it.

Of course, you could choose not to pay. Those who didn’t pay would have all their property robbed by the elusive "Weather Forecast Explosion" bandit group.

Originally, some immortals were unwilling. They wanted to teach Zhu Yanyi and her group a lesson. However, Zhu Yanyi and her group were too strong. Even if they wanted to teach them a lesson, they couldn’t. So, the matter was delayed.

After two months, no one dared to provoke them anymore. To pass through, people would throw the specified Immortal Jade into the box nearby, and then they could pass.

However, there was one thing they were happy about: as long as they paid according to the rules, passing through the lawless zone was very safe. Before, there might have been other immortal pets, immortal plants, or some unkind immortals hiding in the lawless zone causing trouble. Now, there were none.
