Douluo Continent: Transmigrated as Qian Renxue's follower, forced to become a god

Chapter 101 Gengxin City, Planning for the Four Clans

A group of people gathered at the gate of Gengxin City.

Hearing the commotion outside the carriage, Ning Rongrong asked in confusion, "What's going on? I vaguely remember that the last time I came here, entering the city wasn't this troublesome."

Shi Yueyi shifted her body slightly and lifted the curtain a little, discovering that the city seemed to be on the verge of martial law.

She beckoned the coachman over, and they spoke briefly.

Finally, she whispered a few words to the driver.

The coachman nodded respectfully, then handed some coins to the guards before entering the city.

The coachman was actually Yang Wushuang in disguise, using some makeup and disguise techniques.

So he quickly understood what had happened in the city and told Shi Yueyi.

"It's because this city hasn't been very peaceful lately." Shi Yueyi sat back down. "There's a conflict between the Blacksmiths' Association and the city's Martial Soul Hall, and that Titan guy is here. Plus, the four clans are also having a gathering here soon, so the conflict seems to have escalated."

"The city lord and the bishop of the Spirit Hall are worried that more people from the four clans will enter the city, so they are checking everyone who enters. I told the driver to say that he was just coming in to buy some things and bribed him a little."

Ning Rongrong said meaningfully, "That Bishop Miles, oh, I remember him, he was eventually killed by Tang San and Fatty."

"They deserve it." Shi Yueyi didn't care at all. "There are people like that everywhere, and the Spirit Hall is no exception."

"What, you want to make an example of him?" Ning Rongrong asked.

"No rush, it'd be a waste to start surgery right away." Shi Yueyi narrowed her eyes. "Titan happens to be in this city too, let them fight it out, then we can clean up the mess..."

Having received a salary from the Spirit Hall for so many years, we can't let him give up his life so easily.

"You're really ruthless," Ning Rongrong said sarcastically.

When they were talking, Shi Yueyi made sure to connect her headset as well, so the Light Feather Douluo who was following in the shadows also heard Xiao Shiyue's thoughts.

"Gengxin City, I think I've heard of that place before," Guangling Douluo said in his earpiece. "This Miles is just a Soul Emperor, not even a Cardinal."

"Although the city is a major city, it has a lot of blacksmiths and its overall strength is not that great. I guess that's why no cardinals above the Soul Saint level were assigned there."

Shi Yueyi pursed her lips and then said, "Let's go into the city first, Grandpa Guangling, go and investigate this guy's background."

"No problem, Second Miss," Guangling Douluo replied.

After entering the city, they first went to the metal market and spent the afternoon buying a lot of goods.

We then arrived at a hotel and booked a standard double room.

"Frosty Iron, Black-Veined Black Iron, Crystal Gold, Deep-Sea Sinking Silver Mother..."

Shi Yueyi smacked her lips, looking at the high-grade metals spread on the ground.

She and Ning Rongrong worked together in the market and bought all the good stuff in no time.

Metal prices in this city are generally low, and, in Ning Rongrong's words, these blacksmiths seem unaware of how precious some of the metal materials they possess are.

"I plan to stay in this city for a while." Shi Yueyi interlaced her fingers. "While winning over the Blacksmiths' Association, I'll also take care of the matters concerning Miles and the four clans."

"The four clans were originally the foundation of the Tang Clan. Are you planning to let them snatch them away ahead of time? The Power Clan might not be as easy to talk to as I am." Ning Rongrong came out of the shower wrapped in a towel, drying her hair as she sat on the edge of a single bed.

"I never intended to win over the Power Clan," Shi Yueyi scoffed. "It's like trying to poach someone from Tang San's side without actually poaching Dai Mubai."

Ning Rongrong leaned back on the bed and said, "That's normal. If you asked me to choose, I wouldn't choose Dai Mubai. So, are you planning to bring the other three clans to your side?"

"Among the four clans, their resentment towards the Clear Sky Sect even surpasses their resentment towards the Spirit Hall. Apart from the Power Clan, the other three clans also harbor considerable resentment towards Tang Hao. However, because Titan is the most powerful of the four clan leaders, therefore—"

"He seems to have a good relationship with the head of the Yu clan, while the Min clan has to accept aid from the other three clans because of their poor economic situation."

"As for the Po clan, I'm sure some of them already know that Yang Wushuang has joined the Spirit Hall, and Yang Wushuang is now considered to be on my and the Crown Prince's side."

Ning Rongrong sensed something fishy going on. Pope Bibi Dong was gradually being sidelined, and the power of the Spirit Hall was slowly returning to Qian Daoliu's hands. Qian Daoliu was determined to put Qian Renxue on the throne in the future.

Therefore, the gradual decline of the Papal Palace is inevitable, while the Hall of Worship and the Hall of Douluo, which are on par with the Papal Palace, will gain real power.

The Grand Elder is Qian Daoliu, and the Lord of the Douluo Palace is also Qian Daoliu.

"So, as long as there's a loophole, I can find a way to exploit it." Shi Yueyi took out a top-tier level four soul tool she had made, a long sword, and stuck it into the ground. "Like this long sword called Green Ghost, its characteristic is that it can find the gaps between the bones of its prey and then cut them open."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"I really want an external soul bone like yours too," Ning Rongrong sighed, looking at the cracked floor. "That way I can make soul tools faster, and then sell them to help you lose money."

At this moment, Guangling Douluo knocked on the window.

Ning Rongrong quickly shrank into the blanket, leaving only her head sticking out.

"I'm not going in." The voice of the Light Feather Douluo came through the earpiece. "I've basically figured out Miles' situation. He's in the crack in the window."

Shi Yueyi walked to the window and took in a piece of paper that was tucked in the window crack.

"How come I never noticed before that the Spirit Hall's elders were such dignified old men?" Ning Rongrong teased. "What's written on it?"

Shi Yueyi unfolded the paper, glanced at it, and then said, "Some evidence of Miles' crimes, as well as travel arrangements. There's an auction the day after tomorrow, which both Lou Gao and Miles will attend. I reckon Titan and the others might also be there... Let's use this opportunity to meet with Lou Gao."

"Selling soul-guided artifacts? Which ones are you planning to sell?"

Shi Yueyi looked at the soul tools she carried, and then took out a level four mental soul tool that she had carefully crafted herself. This was the best soul tool she could make at the moment, and it could amplify a soul master's mental power by five percent.

Even ten thousand years from now, spiritual soul tools will be extremely rare. This is a simplified version of a level nine soul tool.

"I'll have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's secret guards take it to negotiate," Ning Rongrong said. "There's no need to trouble the titled elder with this matter."

Two days later, at the entrance of the auction house, Xiao Shiyue and Ning Rongrong, accompanied by two secret guards from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, walked in.

Coincidentally, Miles also entered the room with three deacons from the local Spirit Hall.

When he saw Shi Yueyi and Ning Rongrong, his eyes widened in surprise, and he stopped and walked towards them.

The greed in his eyes was undisguised.
