Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System Chapter 496 - 416: Su Yuan: Is There a Courtesan in This Cit

Xianghan Mansion is located in the relatively warm southern region of the Cold Plum World.

Due to its relatively mild climate, the population and economy here are more developed than in other prefectures, and there are more cultivation sects.

Counting the Joyful Union Sect, which has just been promoted to a Nascent Soul Demon Sect, there are now two Nascent Soul Demon Sects within the Xianghan Mansion, both of which have certain ties to the Cold Plum World Governor.

Therefore, whether to investigate corruption or to crack down on the governor’s subordinate forces, Xianghan Mansion is the first choice.

As for whether there are any righteous sects of the Nascent Soul Level?

Sorry, the Cold Plum World has no room for the righteous to survive. If there is any, it would be the Immortal Officials governing the lands.

After all, Immortal Officials are after wealth, while demon sects are after lives, and the latter is evidently worse than the forr.

The sa day Su Yuan and his entourage arrived at the city of Xianghan Mansion, the news of the Celestial Patrol Envoy’s visit reached the local Immortal Officials.

The local prefect and Immortal Officials, big and small, hurriedly welcod him, courteously inviting Su Yuan into the governnt office.

Inside the office, Su Yuan, seated in the main position, glanced at the officials dressed in red and green, then at the Junior Fourth Grade prefect in a purple robe below him, and said calmly:

"There’s no need for everyone to be nervous. I didn’t co in a rush for any reason other than to take action against the unruly cultivation clans and sects."

"As long as you cooperate well and allow to achieve enough political achievents, your nas will also be recorded in the rit book."

Hearing this, the Immortal Officials visibly relaxed and began to smile lightly.

So it was to reap the cultivation clans and sects, that makes it easy.

Initially, they thought Su Yuan ca to investigate tax issues, which scared them out of their wits.

It’s known that collecting money for doing things has beco an established practice in the Celestial Law World Immortal Official System, but one aspect of the Immortal Law has always been very strict.

It’s becoming even stricter.

This aspect is no other than the issue of taxation.

The more the Immortal Officials embezzle, the more taxes they have to pay. If they refuse, they’ll land in serious trouble.

In the Celestial Law World, the two inevitable things in life are death and taxes.

Yet, even though the Immortal Law is already harsh, there are still those willing to risk everything for wealth, like so of the Immortal Officials present.

If Su Yuan, newly arrived Celestial Patrol Envoy, insisted on investigating taxes, they would have no choice but to resort to drastic asures.

Even if so of these Immortal Officials belonged to i Qingquan’s faction, it would be the sa.

Su Yuan was naturally aware of this.

This is why he didn’t start by checking the taxes.

His current influence is not extensive enough. He needs to absorb so power from the Joyful Union Sect and other demon sects, gradually forcing these Immortal Officials into a corner.

Eventually, completely securing control over the entire Xianghan Mansion.

Only with territory under his command, can he challenge the Cold Plum World Governor.

At this mont, the Assistant Governor of Xianghan Mansion respectfully stood up and asked:

"Su Imperial Envoy, may I know which cultivation clans or sects you intend to target?"

"According to my knowledge, there are quite a few families or sects within Xianghan Mansion with Foundation Establishnt cultivators and Golden Core Ancestors sitting in them, and so are indeed extrely wealthy."

At this, a hint of nostalgia flashed in the Assistant Governor’s eyes, as if recalling the satisfaction of exploiting local forces.

Su Yuan slightly smiled and asked:

"What’s the point of bullying small families and minor sects? Let ask you, are there any courtesans in this city?"

Upon these blunt words, the Immortal Officials present were all stunned, looking at one another.

Wasn’t it... Su Imperial Envoy, didn’t you already bring three stunning beauties with you? Why are you still thinking about this kind of thing in the brothel?

Are you insatiable?

Fortunately, everyone soon realized Su Yuan’s real intention, evidently preparing to take action against the cultivation forces related to the brothels.

Indeed, brothels are very profitable, with a lot of Spirit Coins involved.

The question then is, why hasn’t anyone targeted the brothel forces before?

"Su Imperial Envoy, these brothel forces aren’t easy to deal with. The brothels in Xianghan Mansion are especially treacherous, as the Joyful Union Sect backs them."

The Assistant Governor quickly reminded:

"Sect Leader Hehuan advocates allowing nature and human desires, with twelve Celestial Desire Envoys, each with Golden Core Cultivation, mastering top Dual Cultivation Demon Techniques."

"These twelve Celestial Desire Envoys are spread across Cold Plum World, almost controlling all large and dium-sized brothels in the Nine Prefectures and Sixteen States, with widespread industries."

"Especially Xianghan Mansion, as the headquarters of the Joyful Union Sect, there are three Celestial Desire Envoys stationed here."

After a pause, the Assistant Governor continued with so reverence:

"Above the twelve Celestial Desire Envoys is the Sect Leader of Joyful Union, who was already a formidable Golden Core Realm expert, and just a few days ago, broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage."

"Even the recently rising, vigorous Sect Leader Yan Sha was captured by Sect Leader Ruan two days ago and taken back to the Joyful Union Sect headquarters, becoming a furnace cauldron!"

Well then, not even two days had passed, and his own Master had already been harvested?

Rumors are terrifying, Fla River has suffered a hit in reputation!

Su Yuan silently grumbled a few words in his heart and then said with a smile:

"It’s precisely this level of demon sect that is worthy of my intervention. Which is the largest brothel in the prefecture city? I would appreciate all your cooperation in quickly sending troops to suppress it!"

"Once I thoroughly investigate, I’ll decide on the disposition of that brothel."

Hearing this, all the Immortal Officials in the governnt office fell silent.

The Assistant Governor imdiately stopped speaking.

Sitting to Su Yuan’s lower right, the third highest-ranking Deputy Magistrate of Xianghan Mansion, a Fifth Grade official, simply closed his eyes to rest.

But at this mont, the sole high-ranking official in purple robe, the Prefect of Xianghan Mansion, suddenly spoke up:

"What are you all standing around for? Su Imperial Envoy said to thoroughly investigate the largest brothel, quickly order the guardhouse to surround Wanxiang Building!"

With the number one in command of Xianghan Mansion giving an order, the Immortal Officials had no choice but to act.

Su Yuan secretly observed this scene, quietly surprised.

He originally thought the influence i Qingquan could mobilize in Xianghan Mansion only extended to the Assistant Governor level, maximum to the Deputy Magistrate level, but didn’t expect the local Prefect himself to be i Qingquan’s person.

This old fellow has quite deep roots indeed.

But after thinking carefully, Su Yuan felt this situation was reasonable.

After all, the two Nascent Soul Demon Sects in Xianghan Mansion belong to the Governor, and if the local Prefect weren’t on i Qingquan’s side, there’d be no point playing.

Nevertheless, speaking of which, the Prefect of Xianghan Mansion seems to have a clear understanding of the local brothel situation.

As soon as the biggest brothel was ntioned, Wanxiang Building ca out of his mouth directly.

Heh, seems he is an old patron.
