Chapter 6368 Xenophobia
The situation in Tiannan Territory is similar to what Chen Yang imagined.
Back then, the Fissure Insects invaded the entire Tiannan Territory. Although some humans built new cities in the Split Mountain Range, the surviving humans were less than one-tenth of the entire Tiannan Territory.
In other words, the current Tiannan Territory is in a state of population decline.
In addition, Tao Yongheng destroyed Lingjiu Mountain and Guxuan Island, and resources became excessive.
Of course, excessive prosperity only targets the Tao family.
For other sects, life is no better than before, but more difficult.
Because all resources belong to the Tao family, other sects and families must obtain permission from the Tao family if they want it.
The monthly tribute of the Tao family's children has been directly increased to five times that of before.
The result is that in the past ten years, the cultivation level of the Tao family's children has improved rapidly and become stronger and stronger.
In addition to establishing strongholds throughout the Tiannan Region, the Tao family also built a city on the former Lingjiu Mountain, called the City under the Clouds.
Although the foundation of the Tao family is still in the clouds, more people now choose to live in the city under the clouds.
At the same time, the city under the clouds is also open to outsiders.
Of course, the public areas are open, but the core area, the former Lingjiu Mountain, is not open to the public.
After all, under Lingjiu Mountain is a vast star source ground.
How can such resources be enjoyed by people outside the Tao family.
Chen Yang felt quite emotional when he saw the city under the clouds prospering after only a dozen years of construction.
Most cultivators and mortals present will never know that the war and destruction that year were all Tao Yongheng's plan.
The deaths of their lovers and children were all caused by Tao Yongheng.
If they knew, they would definitely hate Tao Yongheng.
But now, Tao Yongheng has become everyone's hero and the idol of countless people.
What happened back then became a secret, and only a few core members of the Tao family knew about it.
"To find out the information, we need to find someone from the Tao family."
Chen Yang was thinking about it when he suddenly spotted an acquaintance among the crowd, Dong Can, the captain of the seventh team of the Yun Group.
After not seeing him for thirty years, Dong Can's realm has improved a lot and he is already a ninth-level saint master.
Judging from his energy fluctuations, he is not far away from impacting Star Lord.
However, even though Chen Yang was far away, he could sense that Dong Can's aura was very unstable, and he was obviously in a very bad condition.
And as a ninth-level saint master, why would Dong Can appear in the ordinary urban area of Taocheng?
Chen Yang approached, walked side by side with Dong Can, and whispered: "Captain, please take a step to speak."
Dong Can was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Chen Yang in surprise, and said, "Who are you?"
"Chen Yang." Chen Yang sent a message.
Dong Can's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he sent a message to Chen Yang: "What are you doing here? Now the entire Zhonghao world is looking for you, and Tao Yongheng will not stop until he kills you."
Chen Yang sent a message: "Captain, let's leave Taocheng first to facilitate communication."
Dong Can nodded and walked outside Taocheng first, with Chen Yang following far behind.
A hundred miles away from Taocheng, Chen Yang met Dong Can, opened the door to the small world, and said: "Go in and talk."
The two entered the small world, and Dong Can said anxiously: "Chen Yang, where have you been these years? The Tao family has been looking for you. By the way, where is Xiaotong?"
Chen Yang pointed to the palace not far away and said, "Xiaotong lives there and is practicing."
Hearing this, Dong Can breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously: "You must not show up at Tao's house. Tao Yongheng has gone crazy. When you left the City on the Clouds, he ordered Xiaotong to be killed and you arrested."
Chen Yang's heart sank, and he didn't understand why Tao Yongheng was so cruel and wanted to kill his own daughter.
As for myself, why was she arrested?
Chen Yang guessed that the other party was most likely doing it for Lao Li in his acquaintance.
"I came here this time just to inquire about the news and see if I could let Xiaotong go back to see his father, but unexpectedly, it turned out like this."
Chen Yang couldn't help but glance at the palace not far away, and didn't know whether to tell his junior sister this information.
Dong Can sighed: "Now the Tao family is prosperous and seems to be full of vitality, but in my opinion, it has gone astray."
Chen Yang asked, "What's the situation of the Tao family now?"
Dong Can said: "Except for what you see, the inside of the Tao family is completely different now from before.
In the past, the Tao family could accommodate children with other surnames besides Tao.
But now, the Tao family has begun to suppress foreign surnames and exclude foreign surnames.
In addition to withholding resources such as monthly tribute, they even asked members of foreign surnames to perform very dangerous tasks, with extremely high mortality rates, to reduce the number of people with foreign surnames in the Tao family.
If you do not perform the task, you will betray the Tao family and will be executed.
Of course, you can choose to escape.
But if he does this, he will be wanted by the Tao family forever.
And it plays into the Tao family's hands, so they can justifiably expel you. "
Chen Yang didn't expect that the Tao family had evolved to be so xenophobic.
In the past, some people rejected those who came from Bayin Pavilion to the City on the Clouds.
Now, the Tao family rejects people with foreign surnames.
Chen Yang asked: "Is this Tao Yongheng's order?"
Dong Can said: "Tao Yongheng spends most of his time practicing now, and the affairs of the family have been handed over to Tao Sui. And Tao Sui has officially succeeded as the head of the family. Most of the current laws and rules of the Tao family are from Tao Sui. hand."
Chen Yang frowned and said, "They are all children. Why did Tao Yongheng reuse Tao Sui and kill his junior sister?"
Dong Can said bitterly: "I also want to know the answer to this question. Unfortunately, no one dares to ask Tao Yongheng now. He is too ruthless. Anyone who dares to question will die."
"If the Tao family continues like this, they will inevitably become trapped in a cocoon." Chen Yang said: "By the way, captain, seeing your frown on your face, it seems that you are in trouble."
Dong Can said: "I have been in constant trouble in the Tao family these years.
Because Yu Lu is Xiaotong's cousin and I am Yu Lu's husband, many people in the Tao family are even less welcoming to us two people with foreign surnames.
If the leader of the Yun Group hadn't protected us, I'm afraid someone would have secretly plotted against us to please Tao Sui.
But after all, the leader can't keep an eye on us all the time.
This time when the leader was out, a very dangerous mission was assigned to me and Yu Lu to carry out.
Although I am now a ninth-level Saint Master, this mission is undoubtedly a narrow escape for us.
The Tao family made it clear that they wanted Yu Lu and I to die. "
Chen Yang asked: "What mission?"
Dong Can said: "Thirty years ago, the demon clan that split the mountain range established three forces, namely the War Wolf Tribe, the Aoshan Kingdom, and the Dawn Tribe.
The demon leaders of the Aoshan Kingdom and the Wolf Warrior Tribe suddenly disappeared, and the remaining Dawn Tribe completed the unification of most of the separated mountain ranges.
Yu Lu and I’s mission this time is to go to the imperial city of the Dawn Tribe to investigate information about the Demon King Zhui Buming.
There are monsters there, and we will definitely be discovered as soon as we step into the imperial city.
When the time comes, where can I escape?
The Tao family made it clear at this time that they wanted to force us to die. "
