Peerless: The Evil Soul Master's Guide to Saving the World

Chapter 220 Xu Cheng: Speak of the devil, and he will appear. Ye Xishui comes to purchase goods in person

Mingde Hall.

In an office in a core area.

Xu Cheng put his hands behind his back, a thoughtful look on his face.

The situation finally stabilized "temporarily".

In this "prosperous and peaceful era", countless hidden families will migrate to the Sun Moon Empire one after another. This is the result of his final move. He had made previous arrangements and announced at the competition that he would help the "surrendered general" Huo Yuhao lead his army to flatten the Mingdou Mountains and avenge his mother, as well as hand him over to the Body Sect in public. He took the opportunity to show the world the "magnanimity" of the Sun Moon Empire.

As long as you come, everything in the past can be forgiven.

Now the results are beginning to emerge. In just half a month, hundreds of thousands of people have poured into the Sun-Moon Border, including nearly 10,000 soul masters, and many of them are organized into clans. However, the names of the martial souls made Xu Cheng stunned for a moment. They are truly a hidden clan.

When these people come, they will naturally carry large and small bags. Whether it is gold soul coins or various resources (pills, soul bones, spiritual herbs, etc.), they will flow directly or indirectly into the market of the Sun and Moon Empire in the future.

This was the purpose of Xu Cheng's battle a few days ago.

Although he did not follow the march in this battle, he learned some information about Orange from Xu Jiangnian. His evaluation was - a little immature, but a budding talent.

Xu Cheng was quite satisfied to receive such praise from Xu Jiangnian. After all, this brother-in-law didn't praise others easily. From this one sentence, one could see his cultivation of Orange, his positioning for Orange's future, and his affirmation of himself.

However, commanding a large army is definitely not as difficult as in the previous life.

In fact, leading troops requires a lot of knowledge, including the overall planning of food and fodder, mobilization of troops, arrangement of generals, etc.

The more soldiers Han Xin leads, the better. He is really awesome, but this world is like reducing the difficulty of hell to an easy level.

The number of people is more streamlined, the speed is faster, the communication method is more convenient, and even food and grass are not needed (bottles or storage soul guides are used instead)

In fact, when I read the original novel, Orange’s operation was somewhat charming, and I even felt that I could do it, but as for the Douluo universe - those who understand will understand.

A certain God King's description of the grand battle is too childish, giving people the feeling of playing house.

So even though Orange has a talent for war, his upper limit is strictly limited by invisible rules.

A rebellion in which the IQ is suppressed under the protagonist's halo? Maybe...

Xu Cheng sighed lightly. Carrying one city and twenty-seven provinces on his shoulders was an extremely heavy burden, but in the final analysis, the focus was still on this "city".

He had a strategy for dealing with Mingdu, "nibbling away" at it step by step, and doing it quietly without making a big fuss. It would be best if he would have the final say in the entire Mingdu by the time everyone realized what was happening.

If one wants to truly control this Sun and Moon Bright City, controlling the military and Mingde Hall alone is not enough.

It also needs to extend downwards.

The water in Mingdu is very deep, like a towering tree floating on the surface. If you think you have seen everything just by looking at its lush branches and leaves, that would be a bit superficial.

Now that things were going smoothly, the plan he had set up - while tripping up the Fourth Prince, he had also forcefully taken back the underground world's ownership of the large category of "soul guides", and instead directed all of the profits into the Mingdu Auction.

The very few ninth-level soul guide cannons that had leaked out and were within the controllable range also appeared there openly. Moreover, a long time ago, Xu Zhen handed him the important chess piece of Mingdu Auction, as if he had always known what he wanted. This also made Xu Cheng sigh that they were all old foxes. There was no such thing as being old and weak and having unclear minds. If you really believed in his acting skills, it would probably be a joke.

With the Mingdu Auction House, Xu Cheng was able to squeeze into the Mingdu world with a "legal" identity.

From this time on, Xu Cheng finally had "assets" that truly belonged to him, and he earned at least 7 million gold soul coins in net profit every month, which was quite good.

But the more he came into contact with it, he realized that the water was quite deep.

Although the "soul guides" were regulated, some rare metals were still circulating in the black market. He did not intervene rashly, but launched an investigation.

The network of relationships is complicated and intertwined. The three underground forces may even implicate Xu Jiangnian and others. Of course, all that can be investigated are their blood relatives or subordinates. As for whether he himself is involved... perhaps we can turn a blind eye.

In short, this problem must not be solved by brute force, otherwise it will easily offend his existing trump card.

"And Zhongli Wu...that old guy seems to have ideas about this huge profit as well." Xu Cheng stroked his chin, frowning slightly.

There are two big mountains behind Zhongli Wu. If he wants to get involved, it might be Ye Xishui's instruction. And if the two Extreme Douluo really reshuffle this underground world, it may become an iron barrel. It will be difficult to intervene in the future.

"In the original novel, a five-year agreement was made. That is, in the All-Continental Soul Master Academy Tournament five years later, the academies would fight each other, and they would fight each other. The battle between the younger generation would decide the division of the pie behind the scenes (an old tradition). And if Huo Gua and He Cai Tou had not taken action on behalf of Xishui League, won the competition, and defeated Ye Guyi, the final winner would most likely have been a lady in red."

Xu Cheng pondered.

Since he didn't want to enter the scene so abruptly, the best way was to intervene in one of the three major forces and use the identity of the indigenous people to play a game with the other parties.

First, pass Xishui League. Although he is the son of the Holy Spirit Church, outsiders can see the dispute between him and the leader Zhongli Wu.

The person behind the Aodu Chamber of Commerce is one of Xu Jiangnian's younger brothers. Xu Cheng suspected that the real person behind the scenes might even be his own father, so he had no intention of targeting him.

That only leaves...

"Your Highness!" Nana pushed open the door. "Shangguan Wei'er, the leader of the Ordinary Alliance, one of the three major forces in the underground world, wants to see you." "Oh?" Xu Cheng smiled. Speak of the devil and he will appear. "Let her in."

……

"Mother, is it really necessary for you and Uncle Long to personally go out to 'purchase goods' this time? I am already familiar with Shrek Academy."

Dozens of black shadows flashed across the sky.

The strong aura was not concealed at all, just like a thief going to the owner's house, with an arrogant attitude, lifting his sleeves, as if while stealing things, he was also planning to slap the owner twice in the face.

Zhongli Wu looked at the two figures beside him, unable to hide the smile on his face.

This is how the Holy Spirit Church should be!
After thousands of years of being aggrieved, they were expelled from Shrek Academy to the Sun Moon Empire. Even the Sun Moon Empire didn't like them at first, and they were driven to the Demon Forest to set up camp. Now, the prestige of the Holy Spirit Church should shock the continent!

“Don’t underestimate Shrek Academy. There are many intricacies inside it. If it were really as windblown leaves as it looks, no one would have raised their arms and defeated the Sun-Moon Empire four thousand years ago.” Ye Xishui, dressed in a black cloak, said in a light voice.

"You mean..." Zhongli Wu hesitated.

"After all, it was once the place where gods ascended to heaven." Ye Xishui said concisely.

"Yes." Zhongli Wu nodded slightly. After all, everyone in the world knew about the strangeness of the battle four thousand years ago, but few people dared to mention it. It was because Shrek... might have always been in contact with the gods.

"Go straight to the target after you get there. The spies you planted in Shrek's outer courtyard reported that there is a boy in the outer courtyard who can release black flames, a girl with an undead skeleton spirit, and... these eleven people must be brought back to the sect. I will hold Xuanzi back and prevent him from doing anything outrageous." Ye Xishui said lightly.

There are eleven people, including students from all grades in the external college.

Among them there are several geniuses. If they really fall into evil ways and are nurtured with blood and souls, perhaps a person similar to Yan Feng can emerge.

"If we can find a Xu Cheng, we'll be making a profit," Zhongli Wu said expectantly.

Long Xiaoyao glanced at Zhongli Wu as if he was a fool, without saying a word.

Half an hour later.

About twenty strong men from the Holy Spirit Church arrived at Shrek Academy.

The towering city walls stand in the distance, as grand as the capital of Ming Dynasty, and it is worthy of being the second largest city on the mainland.

"Remember everything. Don't linger on it. You only have half a quarter of an hour. If you can't find the target, retreat immediately! Do you understand?" Ye Xishui said calmly.

"Yes!!!"

Black robes were suspended in the air, and their aura surged out like a vast ocean, dyeing half of the sky the color of ink. Like a dark cloud pressing down on a city, they forcefully pressed towards Shrek City.

"Moon, I won't destroy the Shrek Academy that you cherish so much right away. Instead, I will push it into the abyss step by step and let you be imprisoned in the golden tree and watch it with your own eyes!" Ye Xishui's voice was tinged with coldness.

"Alas, why is it like this..." Long Xiaoyao looked at the civilians fleeing everywhere and shook his head helplessly.

Although their purpose was not to kill, but to "steal" people.

But such a high-profile action, to put it bluntly, is treading on Shrek's face and destroying Shrek's dignity.

It's more insulting than murder.

Just like a fresh blood bank...

"Shut up!" Ye Xishui glanced at Long Xiaoyao coldly.

The latter sighed lightly and said no more. He was once the strongest man in the continent, but now he was like a dog without dignity, being disciplined and obedient.

But when Ye Xishui saw this, not only did he not feel the slightest bit of joy, but he gritted his teeth and became even angrier.

She would rather Long Xiaoyao resisted her with dignity. Maybe she would look up to him at that time, but he didn't do that. He had been so persistent that he had to stay by her side, but he didn't even have the courage to touch her...

It only happened once in all these years.

She is arrogant and proud. If she wants to use Long Xiaoyao, she must not take the initiative herself.

Otherwise, the situation that has been built up for many years will have a crack.

You should take the initiative! If you get into my bed in the middle of the night, will I chase you away? ! !

Ye Xishui took a deep breath and looked towards Shrek City.

Only then did he manage to suppress his anger.

ps: According to a fellow book friend, today's chapter will be counted as interest, and will not be included in the four chapters I owe. There will be another chapter later at around 1 a.m., which is tomorrow's...
