Facing Xiao Min'er's question, Gu Changsheng said with a smile, "Destroying the Sand Star Gate is just a thought away, but even if Master Grandfather destroys the Sand Star Gate today, a Water Star Gate or a Stone Star Gate might appear tomorrow. Simply destroying the Sand Star Gate won't bring much change to the Northwest Desert."
"Ah... then what should we do?"
Wei Min's small mouth opened slightly.
Seeing this, Yao Xian, who was sitting to Wei Min's left, couldn't help but reach out and rub her hair, softly saying, "In the mortal realm, who would dare to collect protection fees from the Gu family?"
"Yes, the Holy Emperor Palace dares," Wei Min said seriously.
"Uh..." Yao Xian was momentarily speechless, but she had to admit that Wei Min was right.
"Then let me ask another question, in the mortal realm, who would dare to collect protection fees from the Holy Emperor Palace?" Yao Xian continued to ask.
"No one!"
Wei Min shook her head.
Not to mention the mortal realm, no one in all the myriad realms would dare to collect protection fees from the Holy Emperor Palace.
"I think I understand," Wei Min pondered for a moment, then suddenly her eyes lit up.
In the mortal realm, the Holy Emperor Palace has an absolutely transcendent status because the Holy Emperor Palace has established many rules. No matter how big the conflicts between the major forces are, they cannot do anything that exceeds the scope of the rules.
Things like the Sand Star Gate forcibly collecting protection fees from the weak, and even slaughtering cities and exterminating clans when the protection fees are not enough, are absolutely forbidden in the mortal realm.
This is completely different from the weak attaching themselves to the strong and contributing a portion of resources.
The Northwest Desert is regarded as a desert for cultivators in the Xuan Tian Continent. Not only are resources scarce, but even the number of cultivators is small. Any cultivator with a bit of talent and strength will choose to leave the Northwest Desert and go to places with more abundant resources.
Such a cultivation environment naturally makes it difficult to give birth to a strong person or force that can suppress and rule the entire Northwest Desert.
And the Sand Star Gate, according to my mother, is a recently emerged force, and is obviously not a native force of the Northwest Desert.
The Sand Star Gate possesses the strength to suppress and rule the Northwest Desert, but they have chosen the most brutal method of rule.
This is undoubtedly draining the pond to catch the fish.
Now, if you want to completely solve the disaster in the Northwest Desert, you need another powerful force to replace the Sand Star Gate. Otherwise, even if Master Grandfather destroys the Sand Star Gate today, there will still be another "Sand Star Gate" poisoning the Northwest Desert in the future.
"I'm so stupid, I had to be reminded by Master Aunt to think of this," Wei Min softly complained to herself. She is already over three hundred years old, but she still can't see through the current situation in the Northwest Desert at a glance. She is really too stupid.
"You're not stupid at all!"
Gu Changsheng said with a smile.
"Master Grandfather, don't comfort me," Wei Min showed a bitter smile on her face, obviously thinking that Gu Changsheng was comforting her.
However, Gu Changsheng shook his head slightly. He wasn't comforting her. Wei Min has cultivated for more than three hundred years, but how did she spend these three hundred years?
Apart from closed-door cultivation, she was taken by that girl Tuoba Beller to travel around.
Beautifully called, traveling!
But this kind of travel has very little impact on the increase of experience.
In addition, this is the first time Wei Min has returned to the Northwest Desert in three hundred years. Being able to think of the key point has nothing to do with being stupid.
"Master Grandfather, cultivating a force that can replace the Sand Star Gate cannot be done in a short time. Could it be... are you planning to set up a branch of the Holy Emperor Palace here?"
Wei Min looked at Gu Changsheng with bright eyes.
Gu Changsheng was stunned. He originally wanted Wei Min to seek help from Yao Xian, after all, the Northwest Desert also belongs to the Tian Xuan Continent and is Yao's family territory.
However, Wei Min's suggestion to set up a branch of the Holy Emperor Palace here seems to be a very good idea as well.
"I think this method is feasible," Yao Xian also looked at Gu Changsheng with a smile.
Seeing this, Gu Changsheng couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Setting up a branch of the Holy Emperor Palace is no small matter."
"Don't worry, Sister Houtu will definitely agree when she knows, and my father and the ancestors will definitely support it with both hands," Yao Xian became more and more excited as she spoke.
"What I'm worried about is not these. If I want to set up a branch of the Holy Emperor Palace there, who would dare to object?" Gu Changsheng said.
"Master Grandfather is domineering!" Wei Min clenched her pink fist.
Who would dare to object?
Too domineering.
"Then what are you worried about?" Yao Xian asked.
"Setting up a branch here requires someone to manage it, right?" Gu Changsheng said with a wry smile.
"So you're worried about this!" Yao Xian smiled.
"What, are you going to help?" Gu Changsheng asked.
"I don't want to deal with various affairs in one position every day." Yao Xian shook her head. She looks like a quiet person, but she is very active in her heart. Letting her deal with various affairs is no different from being in prison.
Gu Changsheng nodded. This is Yao Xian.
"Isn't that girl Beller also here?" Yao Xian said with a smile.
"Beller?"
Gu Changsheng narrowed his eyes. That girl is a disciple of Houtu, she should inherit some excellent traditions, right?
For example, a strong sense of career!
Wei Min, who was on the side, rolled her eyes cleverly, and couldn't help but feel sorry for Martial Uncle Tuoba in her heart.
Martial Uncle Tuoba is really a person who can't sit still at all!
Just thinking about Martial Uncle Tuoba spending her days dealing with various affairs day after day, Wei Min was looking forward to it.
Alan, who was sitting next to her, didn't know what "Holy Emperor Palace" was, or who "Beller" was. She just listened quietly, and at the same time, she was very moved in her heart.
At least, Senior Gu and Fairy Yao were able to discuss these things in front of her, without treating her as an outsider.
Wei Min is very lucky to have such elders.
Wei Suoge, if you have a spirit in heaven, you will be happy too!
"But Master Grandfather, shouldn't we deal with the invading bandits first?" Wei Min said with a smile.
Gu Changsheng smiled and nodded, then got up and walked outside.
Wei Min also wanted to see what kind of people the bandits were, but was stopped by Yao Xian.
"Didn't you say you have a lot to say to your mother?" Yao Xian asked.
Wei Min was stunned, then nodded, and didn't go.
Alan looked at Yao Xian gratefully. Wei Min has a lot to say to her, and so does she.
Yao Xian nodded lightly to Alan, then quickly followed Gu Changsheng in the courtyard, took his arm, and the two walked outside like a couple of gods.
......
At the same time, in a small city near Banrong City, Tuoba Beller was sitting at a small wine stall, drinking comfortably.
A satisfied look appeared on her delicate and pretty face. Just as she was about to sigh that the flavor of the wine in this different world was different, a deafening loud noise rang out. Along with the loud noise, there was also a strong vibration. Unfortunately, this vibration knocked the wine on her table to the ground with a "pa" sound.
Tuoba Beller's face suddenly turned gloomy.
She stood up abruptly and looked in the direction of the city gate. Above the city gate, there were three figures suspended in the air, exuding a powerful aura.
Two Saints, one Saint King.
The vibration just now was caused by their aura.
"This year's protection fee will be increased by 50% compared to last year."
The cold and ruthless words came from the mouth of the Saint King. As soon as these words came out, it was like a boulder hitting a calm lake, stirring up thousands of waves.
