In the Lord's Mansion.

When Han Fei quietly floated over, he saw a Ten Thousand Scale Race Sea Establisher speaking to two Ten Thousand Scale Race powerhouses who had just entered the Sea Establishment realm.

The man said, "The deduction criteria for this year have been set. Sure enough, just like last time, the lord wants 40%. In a while, you will preside over the south-west side and start to arrange the city defense. Although the lord wants 40%, the wartime situation is complicated. You can at least get some. Don't be too greedy. Otherwise, other people in the city will have objections."

One of them complained, "When it came to the tide wave, all kinds of monsters came. Today, five frogmen scavengers came, as well as three scavengers from the Blade Clan in the east of our city. Including those who stayed long in the city, there were 17 Sea Establishers from outside. I hope these people can be more sensible. Otherwise, I'll definitely make them hand over what they get."

Another person said, "Okay, stop complaining. I heard that there was a problem with the No. 101 farm. Someone killed the Tax Envoys. None of the Tax Envoys escaped, causing the lack of Clean Stones in Blackhot City. Yesterday, they came to borrow Clean Stones from us. How could our lord agree? He rejected them on the spot. I heard that those Blade Clan scavengers are from the Blackhot City farm. Brother Dong, Erqing and his team haven't returned from collecting taxes. Did something happen to them?"

"Cough, cough ~"

The Ten-Thousand Scale Clan powerhouse named Brother Dong said with a sullen face, "Don't think or ask around. I heard that something happened in Blackhot City because they wanted to climb up. They might have had conflicts with other lords. Don't tell anyone about this. Okay, go about your business!"

"Farm?"

Hearing this word, Han Fei's heart sank. So the Ten Thousand Scale Race called the scavenger sea a farm?

The Ten Thousand Scale Race controlled this land and collected resources crazily. Therefore, villages like the Little Sea Village were actually labor tools. They harvested resources once every ten years. After a hundred years, how many resources had they collected from the hundreds of villages?

Han Fei's heart turned cold. These Ten Thousand Scale Race people really deserved to die.

After the three of them left, Han Fei continued to float slowly to the Lord's Mansion.

Perhaps because there was only one Sky Opening Realm cultivator in this Mountain City, who was the lord of this Mountain City, he didn't set up any defenses on the Lord's Residence because no one dared to pry into an emperor's privacy.

Han Fei quietly entered the lord's residence and saw that the lord was counting Star Shells. On the table in front of him, there were a total of 78 Star Shells.

When he saw the Star Shell, Han Fei couldn't help but feel shocked. Was this the tax he collected? 78 pieces? How many Clean Stones were there here?

It wasn't until Mountain City Lord finished counting all the Star Shells that he frowned slightly. "There are generally more original ores this year. It seems that the tax is slightly higher! It seems that after this tide wave, I have to reduce the tax by half so that the villages can produce more strong masters."

After that, the lord of Mountain City hesitated for a moment and put 30 of the Star Shells into his bag. Then, he hesitated again and took another one. Then, he put the remaining Star Shells into a box with multiple seals and put it away.

Suddenly, the lord of Mountain City looked up at the door.

Han Fei's heart skipped a beat. Could he be discovered?

"Huh? Am I too sensitive?"

Mountain City Lord only took a look and found nothing. He shook his head slightly. It seemed that he still felt a little guilty when he embezzled resources.

Seeing that Mountain City Lord didn't find him, Han Fei looked at this person up and down again. The scales on this Mountain City Lord's body were more dense and strong than those Ten Thousand Scale-Race Sea Establishers. Judging from the Qi and blood that he unconsciously emitted and his invisible majesty, this person shouldn't be weak, but he shouldn't be very strong either.

At least, his physique was definitely not comparable to his. It was just that the physique of the Ten Thousand Scale Race was better, and their bloodline level might be relatively higher, so their foundation would be stronger.

However, in the Sky Opening realm, as long as the bloodline of the Ten Thousand Scale Race didn't reach the top million among all the races in the Infinite Ocean, it wouldn't be a problem.

So far, Han Fei didn't feel any threat from this person, which meant that this person shouldn't be stronger than him.

Han Fei thought it made sense. The City of Scavengers controlled 130 domains. If this person was very strong, why would he be ranked after the 80th?

In terms of bloodline, potential, strength, physique, and soul, he was no weaker than this person. At most, his Origin Sea might be smaller than this person's, but it might not be. In this case, it wouldn't be a problem to take this person down.

All that was left was the right time to take him down.

…

In the evening.

Mountain City was sealed. Only entry was allowed, and no one was allowed to leave. In Mountain City, all powerhouses above the Venerable realm were already in position. They were divided into the south gate, east gate, and the other gates.

The Clean Stone Mine was on the north, and it covered a large area. Therefore, when the tide wave came, the pressure on the north was the least, so the manpower here was the least.

Below the Venerable level, Explorers were also called up. Below the Explorer realm, there were very few people, only about 20% of the total population of Mountain City.

This was because Mountain City only accepted strong masters. People below the Venerable level could stay in Mountain City only because in their family or in the history of their family, there were at least Venerables or these people had high spiritual heritage and strong potential.

Otherwise, they would have been exiled to the villages and towns below and wouldn't have been allowed to stay in Mountain City.

It was precisely because of this system that even though Mountain City ruled a hundred domains, the total population was less than 3 million. Firstly, it fully explained the barrenness of the Chaotic Wasteland, and secondly, it showed that the people in the Sea Realm were elite-centered.

Among the less than three million people, only 20% were Explorers, and less than 50% were Explorers.

Therefore, an extremely terrifying number appeared here, which was that almost 30% of them were Venerables.

In other words, there were 900,000 Venerables in this mere Mountain City.

When Tai Yuan and the others learned this news, they were speechless for a long time. 900,000 Venerables, this was more than the Venerables in the entire Raging Sea. And this was only one of the hundred small cities under the jurisdiction of the City of Scavengers. This Mountain City was only ranked 80th in the City of Scavengers.

This was hard for them to imagine. Then what about the main city of the City of Scavengers? A whole city of Venerables?

Han Fei's black-mist body returned while Tai Yuan and the others were digesting the news.

Han Fei controlled the frogman captain leader to come with him. It was only natural that the frogmen were close. Even the lord of Mountain City wouldn't doubt it.

He wasn't afraid that Mountain City Lord would eavesdrop. After all, Han Fei and the others were all emperors. Therefore, after Han Fei arrived, he said, "Mountain City Lord's strength is average. I estimate that any of us here can beat him. It's just a matter of time."

Tai Yuan said, "Han Fei, we found that the strength of the Sea Realm is too high. Do you know how many Venerables there are in this city?"

Han Fei said casually, "Isn't it just 900,000?"

Tai Yuan was speechless. "Why, 900,000 is too little?"

Han Fei said, "We're in a big world now. There are many strong masters here. Look at the number of Sky Openers here. There are more than a hundred lords in the entire City of Scavengers, who are all Sky Openers. And we don't know how many more Sky Openers there are in the main city. I think there are at least five or six hundred Sky Openers in the entire Chaotic Wasteland. Think about it, how many Sky Openers are there in the Raging Sea?"

What Han Fei said seemed to make sense. The number of Sky Openers in the Chaotic Wasteland was dozens of times more than in the Raging Sea. If they underestimated the number of Sky Openers in the main cities, it might be a hundred times more than the Raging Sea.

With this in mind, it seemed normal that there were more Venerables here.

Han Fei said with a smile, "Look at their environment. As long as there is mining, the tide wave that comes once a hundred years will send them countless resources. It would be strange if these resources cannot nurture strong masters over the years. Here, those aren't strong can't survive…"

The Sword God said, "That makes sense. In the Chaotic Wasteland, there are countless primitive tombs. Our Raging Sea is too small for such a big world."

Han Fei said, "Give me some time. I have to find out how to refine corpses from Hong Yue. Before the tide wave comes, we have to find a way to control the lord of this Mountain City. At that time, we might need Senior Snail Emperor to release the void, Senior Kong Shen to seal the surroundings, and Senior Yijian destroy his body with a slash, but don't really kill him… I want to control his soul."

Wang Yijian nodded slightly. "Okay!"
