Douluo Continent has a system, but I don't want to use it.

Chapter 56 Destroying the Protective Umbrella of Evil

"Lead the way to find Wu Yang," Fang Tian ordered.

"My lord, the place ahead is the agreed-upon transaction location with Wu Yang. He should be here today," the Soul King said obsequiously.

At this moment, Fang Tian held a vine tied to the Soul King's body in his left hand. If the Soul King answered too slowly, he would drain his soul power and life force, rendering the Soul King completely powerless.

Fang Tian held a willow-leaf throwing knife in his right hand, while the God-Slaying Throwing Knife in his mind was always ready.

Upon hearing the Soul King's words, Fang Tian used his spiritual power to carefully examine the room ahead. Inside, two people were engaged in some kind of activity: an ordinary woman and a male Soul Master.

"This man should be Wu Yang," Fang Tian guessed.

At this moment, Fang Tian produced another vine and quickly wrapped it around the Soul King's neck, then forcefully strangled it.

Fang Tian caught him to prevent him from falling, and then used the vines to quietly open the door, knocking the two people in the room unconscious before they could react.

Fang Tian threw the Soul King's corpse on the ground, grabbed Wu Yang by the neck and pulled him over, then pulled a blanket over the woman.

A flick on the forehead jolted Wu Yang awake, and he asked, "You're Wu Yang?"

"Who are you? Do you know whose territory this is? How dare you cause trouble here? Do you want your whole family to die?" Wu Yang fired off a barrage of questions as soon as he woke up and saw Fang Tian.

If Fang Tian hadn't been choking him, people would probably have thought he was the one in charge.

"I'll ask, you answer!" Fang Tian wasn't going to let him get away with it. He took out a willow-leaf throwing knife and stuck it into his collarbone. The knife went right through the bone.

Wu Yang's eyes bulged, veins popped on his forehead, and he trembled all over, cold sweat pouring down his face. If Fang Tian hadn't been gripping his neck, he would have already screamed.

"I'll ask you a question, you answer it. Are you Wu Yang?" Fang Tian continued to ask.

"Yes." Fang Tian loosened his grip a little.

"age?"

Wu Yang was stunned for a moment and did not answer immediately. Fang Tian casually threw another knife into his collarbone, which also passed right through his body.

"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!" Wu Yang struggled, his whole body trembling.

"If you answer too slowly next time, you'll get the same cut." Fang Tian's icy voice rang out.

"age?"

"Thirty-two years old." This time, Wu Yang dared not hesitate for a moment.

"What is your soul power level?"

……

Fang Tian's questions became increasingly rapid, and Wu Yang dared not pause in his answers.

"How much of the money you made from selling children goes to your brother-in-law?" Fang Tian suddenly asked the crucial question.

"Eighty percent!" Wu Yang blurted out.

"Is there any evidence?"

"There are ledger records."

"Where are the ledgers?"

"The hidden compartment in the floor tiles under my bed."

Fang Tian suddenly stopped asking questions, and Wu Yang realized what he had just answered. His face immediately turned pale.

Fang Tian casually snapped his neck, tossed him alongside the Soul King he had just killed, and then sprinkled some corpse-dissolving powder. With a hissing sound, the two corpses turned into yellowish liquid.

Fang Tian opened the hidden compartment under the bed and found an account book and five Gold Soul Coin cards, each containing one million Gold Soul Coins.

Fang Tian took out the ledger and flipped through it, finding that it did indeed record how much money was paid to the Hall Master of the Martial Soul Branch Hall in Bru City each month.

Based on Wu Yang's words and this ledger, Fang Tian was certain that the Martial Soul Branch Hall Master was definitely not innocent.

"Sigh, as expected, there are good people and bad people everywhere. I never thought that the Spirit Hall, which helps children awaken their martial souls for free every year, would also harbor such filth," Fang Tian sighed.

Fang Tian went out and found a place with a lively nightlife to inquire about the residence of the Martial Soul Branch Hall Master.

Fang Tian then rushed to the residence of the Martial Soul Branch Hall Master.

Fang Tian stared speechlessly at the residence, which was even more luxurious and expansive than Wu Yang's mansion. Just how many children had they sold? Didn't their consciences bother them?

Fang Tian concealed his presence, masked himself, and sneaked into the mansion, secretly capturing the leader of the night patrol.

Fang Tian's Soul Control has now reached its pinnacle. Unless a Title Douluo observes him at close range, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to discover his whereabouts.

Fang Tian interrogated the underling and found out where the Martial Soul Branch Hall Master lived.

After knocking out the leader, Fang Tian continued to infiltrate and quickly found the location.

"Hmm! Not a Soul Saint, but a Soul Douluo!" Fang Tian clearly sensed that this Martial Soul Branch Hall Master was hiding his strength.

Fang Tian silently extended the vines into the room, then activated his soul skill, Fragrant Sleep.

The two people in the room slept even more soundly.

After entering the room, Fang Tian used his martial spirit to drain the soul power of the martial spirit branch hall master, and then grabbed him by the neck to wake him up.

"Who are you?" The Hall Master of the Martial Soul Branch Hall woke up with a start, and found that he had no soul power at all. He immediately became uneasy.

"I'll ask you questions, you answer. If you answer incorrectly or hesitate, punishment will follow," Fang Tian's icy voice rang out. Fang Tian had absolutely no sympathy for human traffickers.

"Are you the Hall Master of the Martial Soul Branch Hall in Bru City?" Fang Tian confirmed.

"yes!"

"What do you think of Wu Yang's human trafficking?" Fang Tian suddenly wanted to hear what this man had to say.

"Absolutely not! This is slander. Wu Yang is an honest and kind man, and it is impossible for him to have committed the heinous crime of human trafficking." The Martial Soul Branch Hall Master spoke with righteous indignation and certainty.

"Wu Yang said that 80% of the money from human trafficking went to you." Fang Tian's already cold voice became even colder.

"This is slander! Wu Yang is slandering me. This two-faced beast! I've always been so good to him, and he actually threw dirty water on me."

The head of the Martial Soul Branch Hall was now filled with resentment, and he unleashed a torrent of abuse on Wu Yang. He couldn't recall at all who had been praising Wu Yang so enthusiastically just moments before.

Fang Tian suddenly felt nauseous. "I must have lost my mind today. Why did I interrogate him? I should have just killed him after verifying his identity."

Thinking of this, Fang Tian reached out and snapped the neck of the Martial Soul Branch Hall Master of Bru City. He carried the corpse quickly to the city gate of Bru City. Turning around, he took out a siege crossbow and pinned the body to the city wall, the account book used as evidence hanging from the arrow shaft.

After finishing these tasks, Fang Tian turned and left, moving at near-supersonic speed. In just three minutes, he reunited with Qiu Fengyan.

"Hmm, what's going on? This Soul Emperor's soul power is almost fully restored, and he's already awake, but he's just pretending to be unconscious."

Without saying a word, Fang Tian re-bound the Soul Emperor. Then he drained his soul power.

"Fengyan, you can't be so careless in the future, people will die. This guy has already woken up, but he's still pretending to be unconscious."

"I know, I just want to see what kind of trouble he'll cause," Qiu Fengyan said calmly.

"Tell me, how did you recover so quickly? I knocked you out before I left," Fang Tian asked curiously.

"I have a soul skill that passively removes negative effects. This includes all effects, including fainting."

"The negative effects are gone! That's great! I've been looking for this soul skill for so long, but I've never encountered it. I never thought I'd actually find it here today!"
