Douluo Continent: My name is Yang Jian, and I achieved sainthood through my physical body

A strange smile played on her lips, and she exuded an evil yet powerful aura.

The will of the Rakshasa God.

Yang Jian looked at her and sighed inwardly.

As expected of a first-level god, he managed to drag himself into this mess. That's impressive.

The Rakshasa God's will looked at Yang Jian, his eyes filled with rage.

"Human brat, I advise you not to interfere in Bibi Dong's affairs. Release her, or you won't be leaving."

Yang Jian yawned.

"If you could really do anything to me, why would you bother with all this nonsense?"

The Rakshasa God's will was choked.

Indeed, she really couldn't do anything to Yang Jian.

The other person's soul was too strong, so strong that it shocked her.

She went to great lengths to pull Yang Jian in; it was simply impossible to trap her.

However, she naturally wouldn't admit it outwardly and continued to threaten.

Yang Jian didn't hear a single word.

He charged forward and punched the will of the Rakshasa God.

The pupils of the Rakshasa God's will contracted, and he dodged the punch with a flash.

With a flick of her wrist, a beam of black light shot towards Yang Jian.

Yang Jian neither dodged nor evaded, and dispersed the beam of light with a single punch.

He continued his attack, using both fists and feet, each strike accompanied by a golden glow.

The Rakshasa God's will kept dodging and occasionally counterattacking, but its attacks posed no threat to Yang Jian at all.

When Yang Jian's fists hit her, her body would become somewhat blurry, like a wisp of smoke about to dissipate.

But she was ultimately a wisp of divine will, far surpassing Yang Jian in terms of spiritual realm.

Although Yang Jian could suppress her, he could not completely eliminate her.

After fighting for a while, Yang Jian withdrew his fist, knowing that with his current strength, he could not eliminate the will of the Rakshasa God. He estimated that he would have to wait until he became a Soul Douluo.

"Boring."

Yang Jian was too lazy to stay any longer and forcibly left this spiritual world.

After opening his eyes again, he looked at Bibi Dong, who was still in a daze, shook his head, and turned to leave the secret room.

……

Yang Jian walked out of the offering hall and returned to his small courtyard, where he found Hu Liena there.

She sat on a stone bench under the osmanthus tree, her chin resting on her hands, gazing at the moon in the sky, lost in thought.

When she saw Yang Jian return, a smile appeared on her face.

The two cuddled together for a while.

Of course, it was Hu Liena who initiated the conversation throughout, and although Yang Jian didn't just go through the motions, he wasn't very interested either.

Every word he said was correct, every sentence was just right, but there was no emotion in it.

Hu Liena noticed it too.

She didn't know why Yang Jian had changed, become so cold, and so unfamiliar.

Hu Liena changed the subject and inquired about Bibi Dong's situation.

Yang Jian told her to mind her own business and that she was leaving.

Hu Liena felt dejected, thinking she lacked charm, but she didn't say anything.

She stood up, walked up to Yang Jian, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him on the cheek.

"Be careful, I'll always be waiting for you."

After saying that, she turned and left, her figure disappearing into the night.

Yang Jian sat on the stone bench, watching her back, his heart unmoved.

He sat for a while, then stood up and walked out of the courtyard.

The moonlight shone on the bluestone road, illuminating it as bright as day.

As he walked, he pondered and began to plan what to do next.

The three upper sects have all submitted.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan submitted, the Clear Sky Clan was destroyed, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan submitted.

Getting other smaller sects to submit would be much simpler.

The message is sent out: those who resist will be destroyed, and those who submit will be subdued.

Those minor sects, without a Title Douluo in charge, dared not resist at all.

The priority now should be dealing with the two great empires.

This is a bit difficult.

Dealing with the two great empires was not difficult in itself, since the two great empires had very few high-end combat forces, and he could suppress them all by himself.

The main challenge is actually how to stabilize the situation afterward.

The two empires have countless people, numbering at least several billion.

If the empire collapses, these people are likely to riot.

Are we supposed to kill them all?

Therefore, this matter needs to be justified and must be handled publicly.

Even if we don't want the whole continent to know, we should at least let the gentry class know.

Let everyone know that we are not invading or conquering, but restoring order and acting on behalf of Heaven.

The Heaven Dou Empire has Qian Renxue, so we can put her aside.

Therefore, the Star Luo Empire needs to be dealt with first.

To have a legitimate reason for taking action, it is necessary to collect evidence of the Star Luo Empire's crimes.

Yang Jian silently pondered, and roughly came up with a plan in his mind.

Chapter 175 Davis, Zhu Zhuyun

Three days later, within the Star Luo Empire, at a viscount's mansion.

The night was as dark as ink, and the moonlight was obscured by thick clouds, plunging the world into darkness.

Yang Jian quietly slipped into the study and began to look through the account books on the table.

The ledger was thick, the paper was yellowed, and it was covered with numbers.

He quickly glanced through it and discovered it was a record of unauthorized tax increases for ordinary citizens.

Three years ago, each mu (unit of land area) yielded five dou (unit of dry measure) of grain; now it yields eight dou.

Three years ago, each person paid two Silver Soul Coins; now they pay five.

The figures are shocking, demonstrating just how severe the exploitation of the common people by the landowners is.

Yang Jian put the account book into his storage soul guide and then found several similar account books in his study.

There are records of forcibly seizing fertile land, setting up private courts, and even beating tenants to death.

He packed it all in, and then left without a sound.

For the next period of time, Yang Jian traveled throughout the Star Luo Empire.

He made a special trip to the gentry class, visiting viscounts, earls, and marquises one by one.

They scout locations during the day and execute their plans at night, never failing.

His footprints can be found in the studies, secret rooms, and storerooms of those gentry families.

He was like a gust of wind, appearing and disappearing without a trace. No one noticed him, and no one knew what he was doing.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Now, Yang Jian's storage soul tool is filled with all sorts of evidence of crimes.

There are account books, letters, contracts, and a list of witnesses.

Each of these things is enough to ruin a nobleman's reputation, and each of these things is enough to make the Star Luo Empire's royal family lose face.

These pieces of evidence, taken together, are enough to make the common people of the Star Luo Empire lose trust in the royal family.

His plan has taken a major step forward.

But Yang Jian felt it was still lacking.

What he was looking for was irrefutable evidence, the kind of irrefutable proof that left no room for argument and that no force could cover it up.

Such items are not found in ordinary noble households; one must seek them out from the most powerful clans.

The most powerful family in the Star Luo Empire is the Zhu family.

The Zhu family has been linked to the royal family through marriage for generations, making them the most powerful family in the Star Luo Empire.

Their daughter married the emperor, and their son married a princess.

Their clansmen were scattered throughout the court, wielding great power.

Zhu Lingtian, the head of the Zhu family, is a prince of the Star Luo Empire and the most trusted person of the Star Luo Emperor.

If the Zhu family has problems, then the imperial family must also have problems.

Yang Jian decided to make a trip to the Zhu family.

There should be quite a few gains from that place as well.
