Douluo: I mess around in Tangmen

The bait that was thrown out was like a boulder crashing into the unfathomable depths of the aristocratic circles, causing a huge uproar.

A fleet of state-of-the-art soul-guided hovercarts lined up along the wide avenue overnight.

Ye Nanxiao's words were like the whispers of a demon burning away reason, consuming the hearts of all the patriarchs and burning away the leaves of reason, leaving only the root of greed buried deep in their hearts.

With only one thought in their minds, they rushed to the Star Luo Imperial Palace to sign off on each of the projects.

Even if we can't sign the contract, we have to get there before the other established families.

Therefore, when they set off, they did not forget to secretly sabotage other powerful families.

Among the ten great families of Xingluo City, the Li family and the Wang family rank third and fourth, respectively.

The two sides may be allies at times, but they can also secretly turn against each other.

Faced with the overwhelming lure of profits from alliance projects, the two families no longer cared about the mutual assistance agreement they signed more than a decade ago, nor did they care about the daughters who had married into each other's families or the sons who had married into each other's families.

"We must get there before the Wang family! We absolutely must! Send people out to stop them!"

The head of the Li family, like a maddened beast, unleashed his soul power from the central courtyard all the way to the main gate, kicked open the carriage door, and sat down.

He didn't care about his clothes being ruffled by the wind; his bloodshot eyes made him look like a true mad beast.

The soul-guided hovercart set off instantly. Two tall fire-scaled horses neighed, spewing flames from their nostrils, and began to gallop wildly.

High in the sky, Ye Nanxiao lit up his golden eyes and gazed down at the street below, which resembled a miniature scene.

When he saw the soul-guided hovercar representing the Li family begin to move, a disdainful smile curled at the corner of his mouth, and he snorted coldly.

"Why do these idiots prefer horse-drawn carriages when there are clearly soul-guided hovercars available?"

"If you can already levitate, why do you still prefer using a horse?"

"So primitive!"

When the Soul Guide Hovering Car was first launched, the Aodu Chamber of Commerce conducted a market assessment. They believed that the Soul Guide Hovering Car was an epoch-making product and a game-changer in changing the way people travel!
After the product was launched, sales figures from the other three major empires, except for the Sun and Moon Empire, were a resounding slap in the face to them.

If it's not a horse-drawn carriage, how can one demonstrate their status?

Without tall and majestic horse spirits pulling the carriage, who would know that we are a noble family?
So, after much painful reflection, the chamber of commerce's think tank decided to dismantle the jets, remodel the casing into the style of a luxury carriage, and then sell them.

This change did boost sales, but the researchers at the Aodu Chamber of Commerce didn't smile.

Translate this: What the hell is this "high-tech" stuff?

Making money is nothing to be ashamed of.

Ye Nanxiao still chose to accept this unusual fruit.

If you like horses, then go ahead and get a horse.

Ye Nanxiao sighed, as if lamenting that these people didn't know good things, and that wild boars couldn't eat fine chaff.

However, to get back to the point, Ye Nanxiao did not intend to let this group of people have it so easy.

He flicked his finger, and the vast, invisible soul power transformed into a colorless fire poker, which he smashed down onto the street.

How could those bastards from the powerful families possibly understand what business warfare is?
Watch him!
Suddenly, the main road that the Li family was walking on cracked open everywhere.

The stone-paved road cracked, and the expensive stone was reduced to rubble everywhere.

The two fiery-scaled horses were startled and cried out, raising their bodies high.

In that instant, the Li family patriarch's soul-guided hovercart collided with two fire-scaled horses, causing a violent jolt.

Fortunately, the suspension system gave the carriage a sense of security, preventing it from tipping over, but the violent shaking instantly ignited his tense nerves.

"What the hell are you good for! I'll kill you, you believe me!"

The groom, a trained assassin by the Li family, immediately knelt down, pulled out a dagger, and presented it with both hands. The Li family patriarch was furious; training an assassin required enormous resources. He had only said it offhand, thankfully he hadn't actually said anything about suicide.

"Get up right now! What's going on?!"

The horse-riding assassins quickly flew low over the area, swiftly surveyed the area, and soon discovered a potential blast point.

"Reporting to the patriarch, the road ahead is completely destroyed, and the ground is full of broken bluestone. The Fire-Scaled Horse's cultivation is only five hundred years old. If it steps on it, its hooves will be damaged, and the horse cannot pass."

The head of the Li family slammed his hand on the handrail of the carriage in anger.

As he looked at the road that had been reduced to a pile of rubble, his anger flared up.

Several carriages behind him were also stopped. A group of Li family ministers, looking at the broken road in front of them, were so angry that they almost lost their minds.

"It must be the Wang family's doing! Only they would be so disgusting!" an elder roared angrily.

Everyone immediately realized that the two families were evenly matched and it was impossible for a major war to break out, as that would severely damage their own resources and foundations, making them vulnerable to being taken advantage of by other powerful families that were eyeing them covetously.

Therefore, disgusting methods that do not trigger the covenant are the mainstream at this moment!

"Damn the Wang family! But it's alright, I expected this and had already made arrangements!"

"You want to outdo me in being disgusting? I'll disgust you to death!"

Because Xingluo City had previously suffered a large-scale invasion by the Holy Spirit Cult, which led to a battle that nearly caused the fall of the Xingluo Imperial Palace.

Therefore, after the renovation, the Star Luo Imperial Palace pushed back the eight main streets and built an inner city wall, filled with a linked protective magic array.

It was during that Holy Spirit Cult invasion that many aristocratic families lost their lives, while those whose foundations remained intact took the opportunity to strengthen themselves. For example, the Li family acquired nearly half of the real estate along First Avenue, acting as a buffer zone.

The Wang family, separated by a drainage road, took the other half, with each family occupying one end on the left and right.

At this moment, a thick fog rose up at the gate of the Wang family's residence.

The head of the Wang family looked ashen-faced as he gazed at the thick fog that enveloped the street.

The scouts have reported that a transport truck caught fire at the end of the street, and the soul-guiding corrosive liquid used for engraving on the truck accidentally leaked, corroding a pile of rare metal ores in the transport compartment and causing this dense fog filled with chaotic soul power fluctuations.

The head of the Wang family kicked the stone lion statue at the entrance, cracking it.

"What utter nonsense about a leak! Soul-guiding corrosive fluid and ore in the same transport truck? Doesn't this person have any common sense?! Huh?! It must be the Li family's truck! That old dog Li!!!"

"However, I am not a pushover! I have secretly poisoned the most powerful dogs the Li family keeps! Without those barking dogs, let's see how you, old dog Li, will compete with me for the project!"

The younger generation of the Li and Wang families listened to their patriarchs' covert confrontation with blank expressions.

They never imagined that the clashes between top figures would be so...thuggish and thuggish?!

Shouldn't the methods be arresting the person, threatening their entire family, or poisoning them?
Upon hearing the doubts of their younger generation, the clan elders immediately slapped them several times.

A bunch of idiots!
Ruthless schemes and plots are only used when there is confidence in severely damaging or even killing the opponent. If that is not the case, then one must maintain the appearance of a noble family etiquette!

And the sailors have used these tactics more than once.

Some disgusting tricks won't stop the two sides.

Although the airspace of Xingluo City is under control and no one other than officials is allowed to fly, hovering and low-flying are still permitted.

The head of the Li family abandoned the carriage and flew close to the ground using his own cultivation.

From a distance, it looks like a giant burrowing rat.

Although it was unseemly, the head of the Li family was in a hurry and mentally blamed the Wang family for it.

The head of the Wang family activated an invincible protective shield, breaking out of the chemical toxic fog zone.

"Damn that old dog Li! / Screw that bastard Wang!" (End of Chapter)
