Douluo Continent, Boss's Martial Soul, Geniuses Work for Me

Apart from the royal palace where the nobles resided, the outskirts of Xilu City consisted of dilapidated brick and tile houses.

When Shang Luo and Ling Qingyue stepped into the West City, the air was filled with a pervasive stench.

Most of the residents here are miners.

They were called workers, but it would be more accurate to describe them as slaves.

The mine in question is backed by the Qin family, but is controlled by the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group.

Such a large piece of meat, yet it was given to the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group to enjoy.

The reason for this is Li Shi, the leader of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group.

Level 61 Soul Emperor.

This is already a height that ordinary people in Xilu City can only look up to.

Xilu City is close to the Star Dou Great Forest, and its industrial development is lagging behind. Unlike Tian Dou, it is not prosperous, and there is probably not a single Soul Saint in the city.

At the very least, back when Shangluo was still a merchant, the strongest person he had ever seen was Shang Zhen, who was only level 62.

Before agreeing to Ling Qingyue's request, Shang Luo had already made a detailed assessment of his own combat strength.

With three divine-level martial souls, his strength is probably no less than that of a Soul King.

But the exact number will have to wait and see in actual combat.

Just then, Ling Qingyue suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Shang Luo looked at Ling Qingyue, only to see her staring intently at a rotting corpse in the garbage heap, her body trembling slightly.

She recognized the old woman. It was Granny Wang, whom Ling Qingyue had found to take care of her grandmother.

Her body was covered in gashes torn open by torture, from which maggots writhed.

At the same time, the whispers of several miners reached their ears.

"Ah, the old lady on the west side of the city is dead!"

Who is it?

"It's said her name is Wang Cui, and she has a grandson."

"It seems that a girl offended the young master of the mine, and because she refused to reveal the girl's whereabouts, she was captured by the mercenary group."

"Later, her grandson died, and she went mad. Even revealing the girl's whereabouts couldn't save her life..."

A miner threw his hat to the ground and said sadly:

"The Qin family is a complete bastard, and the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group is a complete bastard! They don't treat people like human beings at all!"

"What's the difference between us and those domesticated animals?"

Another miner quickly covered his mouth, his eyes darting around in terror, and whispered, "Are you crazy? You're dead if anyone hears you!"

"So what if we're treated like animals? We're lucky to be alive! When have nobles ever cared about the lives of commoners!"

Shang Luo remained silent; he knew that the corpse was Granny Wang, who had taken care of Ling Qingyue's grandmother.

The world of Douluo Continent, where strength reigns supreme, is far darker than one can imagine.

It's no wonder that Tang San was able to say something like "a path to death" after he gained power.

"Let's go."

Shangluo patted Ling Qingyue on the shoulder.

Ling Qingyue clenched her fists, remaining silent. When she came to her senses, her cold, beautiful eyes were filled with boundless rage.

……

Inside the West City Mine.

"grown ups……"

While rubbing his feet, Jiang Cheng reached into the body of a pretty young woman and began to knead her wantonly.

"In my opinion, Li Shizi is utterly disgraced to have a son like you."

Jiang Cheng glanced at Li Hu and sneered:

"To be defeated by a level 11 trash martial spirit, ending up with a face full of injuries, do you even deserve to stay in my Blood Wolf Mercenary Group?"

Li Hu smiled insincerely, but still offered a cup of tea with a fawning expression:

"Vice Regiment Commander Jiang is joking. Although Ling Qingyue's cultivation level is low, her swordsmanship is not to be underestimated, and her appearance is extremely extraordinary. I just wanted to make you happy again."

"Besides, this is also Father's instruction."

"Don't try to intimidate me with that old lion."

Jiang Cheng snorted coldly, his fat puffing up on his face.

But his heart was filled with disdain.

Li Hu is afraid that he can't defeat Ling Qingyue, so he wants him to be in charge.

What kind of waves can a level 11 useless martial soul make?

He's such a waste that he's scared out of his wits by a useless martial spirit.

But if her appearance is truly that stunning...

Jiang Cheng laughed lewdly, then stroked the woman's cheek. Under her terrified gaze, a flash of blood appeared.

"My lord, my lord! No!"

All the blood and energy in the woman's body were drawn into Jiang Cheng's body. Moments later, she was drained into a dried-up human body and collapsed to the ground. Jiang Cheng hummed with satisfaction.

Li Hu trembled all over, his heart filled with fear.

Jiang Cheng's martial soul is the Blood Scorpion, which is extremely insidious and has a very fast cultivation speed. In the mercenary group, only Li Shi can surpass him in terms of soul power level.

However, Li Shi went to the Qin family because of mercenary group affairs and will not be returning for the time being.

That's why they sent Jiang Cheng over.

Li Hu swallowed hard.

Is it right for someone like this to mess with someone whose father is not around?

But then he imagined Ling Qingyue kneeling before him, begging for mercy...

Li Hu couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

The gloom in my heart was swept away.

……

"Grandma, Grandma!"

Inside the dark cave, a young boy with bloodstains on his face called out anxiously in a low voice. Although he was in a terrible state, his handsome features were still evident.

At this moment, two thick iron chains were on his feet, completely locking up his soul power.

Opposite him was an old man whose hands and feet were all chained up.

His body was covered in so much flesh that he was clearly taking in more air than he was exhaling, so he probably wouldn't live much longer.

It was Ling Qingyue's grandmother.

The boy looked at the old man whose eyes were gradually becoming cloudy, and punched the iron railing hard.

"These bloodthirsty wolves! Do they really think the Qin family is helpless without Father?"

He gripped the iron railing with both hands, then slumped to the ground, exhausted.

He is Qin Feng, Qin Tian's younger brother and the sole heir designated by the Qin family patriarch.

Three years ago, out of jealousy of his talent, Qin Tian conspired with the eldest elder of his family and people from the city's Soul Master Association to imprison him and lie to the outside world that he had disappeared.

Qin Yaojun, the patriarch of the Qin family, has been traveling across the mainland for several years in search of his son, but has not yet returned.

He could only watch helplessly from the dungeon as everything that should have belonged to him was taken into Qin Feng's hands.

In fact, he didn't care at all about the so-called empty title of heir.

He simply couldn't stand that Blood Wolf was using the Qin family's name to commit all sorts of evil deeds.

That's disgusting.

He only possessed the Spirit Eye Martial Soul, a Martial Soul with no combat power, capable only of enhancing spiritual strength.

but.

What good is strong mental strength?

What good is rapid cultivation?

Lacking any fighting ability, he could only spend his life in a cramped basement, yearning for his brother to give him a quick death.

Now, I can't even save the old lady in front of me.

Qin Feng collapsed to the ground in despair, the light in his bright eyes gradually dimming.

No one knows I'm here, and no one can get me out.

For some reason, Li Hu transferred everyone from the dungeon to the surface today, but even without guards, he had no way to escape.

"What a waste..."

Just as Qin Feng was about to laugh at himself and feel completely disheartened, two unfamiliar auras suddenly appeared in his perception.

One was icy cold and extremely sharp, while the other was pitifully weak, seemingly not even reaching the second ring road.

His joyful mood plummeted once again.

One is the second ring road, and the other is the first ring road.

With Jiang Cheng in charge of the mine, these two are really just throwing their lives away.

Qin Feng sighed, his eyes numb.

He initially thought this was his chance to escape, but now it seems...

Soon, the empty cell next to me might be filled with two more companions.
