Douluo: Did you move Danta here?

Chapter 452 The Evil Extermination Sect Makes a Move

On the official road leading from Xingluo City to the Kingdom of Buffalo, a caravan loaded with goods was traveling in an orderly manner. Each carriage was accompanied by several guards, whose faces were solemn and whose eyes frequently scanned the dense jungle around them, clearly on guard against something.

A middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes in the lead carriage looked at his companion with a worried expression.

"Hey, when will this ever end? Transportation costs have tripled, and yet caravans are still being robbed. Doesn't Meng Shenji know what to do about it?"

His companion glanced at the middle-aged man with disdain, seemingly scoffing at his idea.

"What right does Meng Shenji have to control this? The Xingluo region is vast, and these Tang Clan villains have no fixed abode. Are we supposed to let the army sweep through the entire Xingluo territory to find this group of evil people?"

"Sigh, that's true, but it's not a solution. In the past, caravans could ensure their safety by hiring Soul Masters at the Soul Sect level. Now I'm spending a lot of money to hire Soul Emperors, but I still feel uneasy."

Just as the middle-aged man was having doubts, the sound of arrows whistling through the dense forest came from the next second. The next second, a sharp arrow pierced through the curtain of the carriage and landed directly on the table in front of the two men. The two merchants were so frightened that they immediately crawled on the floor of the carriage, trembling.

"They're here! The villains from the Tang Clan have really arrived."

"It's all your fault for having such a bad mouth. Why did you have to bring up those unlucky things about the Tang Clan? Now look what's happened, you've brought trouble upon them."

"How can you blame me for this?"

The two whispered among themselves while listening to the sounds outside the carriage, hoping that the Soul Emperor they had hired could deal with the group of Tang Clan villains.

But things didn't go as planned. The sounds of fighting continued outside the carriage for several tens of minutes. The fluctuations of soul power kept lifting the carriage curtains. When things gradually calmed down outside the carriage, the two of them turned their expectant gazes to the carriage entrance. But when the curtain was lifted, the face that was revealed was not the one they had been waiting for.

The Tang Clan steward, dressed in black robes and with a ferocious expression, grinned maliciously as he looked at the two men trembling on the ground.

"Heh, these two must be the owners of this shipment. Kill them."

"Yes, my lord."

There was no room for negotiation. The two could only watch in terror as several Tang Clan members entered the carriage and walked towards them step by step. Then, they were pulled out of the carriage and thrown to the ground. Ignoring the pain they were in, the middle-aged man immediately began to beg for mercy.

"No, don't kill me! You can take all the goods and money, just spare my life."

"Yes, yes, if you kill us, there will be even fewer caravans on this road in the future."

While begging for mercy, the two men looked around at the scene. The Soul Emperor they had hired at great expense was lying not far away, completely lifeless, his limbs twisted and his death extremely gruesome. This made the two men tremble even more violently, and they could only pray that the Tang Sect disciples would ask for their money.

But what the Tang Clan's head steward said next plunged the two into deep despair.

"Caravan? Who cares if you come or not? All we want is to complete the sect leader's mission. Make your move!"

"Yes."

After speaking, the Tang Clan steward turned to look at his subordinates, who responded and released their martial spirits as they walked towards the two merchants.

"No, no, you can't do this! What does your mission have to do with our lives? We won't reveal the whereabouts of the Tang Clan disciples, please..."

The middle-aged man trembled and begged for mercy, but before he could finish speaking, the Tang Clan disciple had already raised his sharp claws towards their skulls. The two could only close their eyes in despair. At this critical moment, a ghostly figure flashed past all the Tang Clan disciples in a mere second. Time seemed to stand still; the movements of the Tang Clan disciples and the sinister smiles on the faces of the Tang Clan deacons were frozen in place, as if everything had been paused.

One second, two seconds, three seconds, the two merchants, who had not felt themselves being attacked, tentatively opened their eyes and looked up.

What came into view were the Tang Clan disciples' raised claws and their blank stares. A few seconds later, streaks of blood appeared on the necks of each Tang Clan disciple, and the bright red blood spread rapidly. The sound of heavy objects hitting the ground rang out one after another, and the Tang Clan disciples in front of them fell to the ground like wheat being harvested.

"This, this, this."

"Who's here?"

The two merchants felt no excitement at surviving the ordeal; instead, they were even more terrified. Their obese bodies trembled violently, and their eyes darted around, searching for the terrifying presence.

But the sound slowly and clearly entered their ears from behind.

"From Xingluo City?"

"what!!!!!"

"Ghost!!!"

The two turned around mechanically and met the strange woman's deep black eyes. Then two exclamations came, and the two who had just stood up fell back to the ground.

"You...you're a human or a ghost?"

"Nonsense, if you were ghosts, why would I bother saving you? Believe me or not, I'll send you to keep these people company."

Upon hearing that they had come to rescue them, the two instantly breathed a sigh of relief, but upon hearing the second half of the sentence, their obese bodies trembled again.

"Sir, this is a misunderstanding. We did not mean any offense."

"Alright, I've taken care of the Tang Clan members. You can handle the rest yourselves. From now on, you can ask me to escort you when you travel for business. We're here specifically to target these Tang Clan fiends."

After speaking, the woman turned and disappeared from the spot, leaving the two people behind wiping the fine beads of sweat from their foreheads. The woman who appeared was none other than A'Zhu, the Spider Queen. Ever since the Tang Clan began hunting down caravans and civilians throughout the Star Luo region, Da Ming and the others had discussed having their beasts and subordinates split up to act separately. However, A'Zhu, who was used to going alone, had come alone. Now that the matter was settled, she planned to go back and explain the situation.

"The Extinction Evil Sect? Is that the sect that was just established not long ago? Its headquarters seems to be in Star Luo City, and it seems that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Dream God Machine are also behind it."

"Don't worry about all that. As long as we're safe from now on, no matter how expensive it is, we'll have to hire the Exterminator Sect disciples to accompany the caravan as protectors from now on."

"I think it's a good idea, you're right."

After packing up the goods, the two drove the carriage back to Xingluo City. There was no better time than now, so they went back to hire the Exterminator Sect disciples to resell the goods. Otherwise, what would be the point of having gold soul coins if they were already dead?
The same situation kept happening throughout Xingluo City. The Tang Sect disciples, who were feared just a few days ago, suddenly seemed to have met their nemesis and were quickly defeated in dozens of groups. The name of the Exterminator Sect also began to spread rapidly throughout Xingluo City, which was much more effective than self-promotion.

In a small town on the border between Star Luo City and Heaven Dou City, Tang San was sitting in a small courtyard, resting with his eyes closed. Today was the day when the dispatched disciples would report back to him, and he was looking forward to seeing what kind of energy the Tang Sect disciples would unleash after they scattered throughout the Star Luo region.
