Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao, Allows Me to Defy Fate

"This is the territory of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School! Sect Master Ning has ordered that this is a sensitive area for the Chamber of Commerce, and no unauthorized personnel are allowed to approach!"

"If you're short of money, you should send a formal letter of invitation as per the rules, and I'll report it to my superiors. Bringing so many people to block the gate, are you trying to provoke a war between the two major sects?"

"Your Blue Lightning Sect is already at its last gasp. If you dare to touch anyone from our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Heavenly Dou Royal Family will not let you off the hook!"

These words combined both soft and hard tactics.

A few months ago, the Blue Lightning Sect might have still considered the reputation of the three upper sects.

But now.

The Third Elder was so angry he laughed.

"Don't try to intimidate me with Ning Zhenyuan!"

The Third Elder cursed loudly.

"When he was besieging us, why didn't he follow the rules? Now he's pretending to be a good guy?"

The Third Elder exerted force with his feet.

A large crater was instantly blasted open in the bluestone pavement.

He charged straight at the Chamber of Commerce gate like a lightning bolt.

"Fire the arrows!" the steward exclaimed in alarm.

The guards on the wall immediately pulled the trigger. Dozens of fine steel crossbow bolts shot towards the Third Elder.

The Third Elder neither dodged nor evaded.

Lightning crackled across his skin. Having been tempered by the purple fire, his body was already as hard as iron.

The crossbow bolt hit him, but bounced off without leaving a single white mark.

"boom!"

The Third Elder kicked the vermilion gate.

The heavy wooden door shattered into pieces, splinters flying everywhere. The dozen or so guards hiding behind the door were thrown back by the enormous impact, coughing up blood and crashing into the courtyard, howling in pain.

Smash it!

The Third Elder waved his hand.

Five hundred Blue Lightning Sect disciples stormed into the Chamber of Commerce like wolves and tigers.

The disciples, who had long been feeling extremely frustrated, showed no mercy in their attack.

The expensive vase displayed in the lobby was smashed to pieces with a single blow.

The counter was smashed, the ledgers inside were torn out, and then set on fire.

Those Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School guards who attempted to resist were immediately defeated and knocked to the ground by the Blue Lightning School disciples. It was a one-sided crushing defeat. The Blue Lightning School disciples, having undergone body tempering, were far superior to these merchant guild guards in both strength and soul power.

A thug from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School attempted a sneak attack, but a disciple from the Blue Lightning School grabbed his arm and twisted it forcefully. The sound of breaking bones rang out, and the thug screamed as he was kicked out the door.

"You're all insane!"

The manager on the second floor was furious.

He summoned his martial spirit and leaped down, trying to stop the Third Elder who was leading the group.

Just as he was about to land.

A black figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

It's Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang didn't even release his martial spirit.

He simply raised his hand.

The dark dragon coiled around his arm suddenly burst forth, transforming into a cloud of black mist that instantly enveloped the steward's body.

Before the steward could even use his soul skill, he was slammed to the ground from mid-air by this immense force.

"boom!"

The steward fell heavily onto the stone slab, breaking more than a dozen bones in his body, and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Yu Xiaogang stepped on his chest.

……

The entire chamber of commerce compound was completely under control in less than half an incense stick's time.

All the members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were pinned to the ground.

The warehouse door at the back was smashed open.

Boxes piled up like small mountains of gold soul coins.

Rows of neatly arranged high-grade medicinal herbs.

There is also a large quantity of refined iron ore.

The Blue Lightning Sect disciples' eyes turned red as they looked at the supplies.

Yu Xiaoheng walked into the courtyard with his hands in his pockets, not in a hurry.

He looked around at the guards who had been knocked to the ground. Finally, Yu Xiaoheng walked up to the steward who had been trampled under Yu Xiaogang's feet.

The steward looked at him in horror.

"Young Master Yu..." The steward's voice trembled, and he didn't even dare to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Yu Xiaoheng ignored his pleas for mercy.

He turned around, looked at the supplies piled up in the yard, and then at the Chamber of Commerce sign.

"If Ning Zhenyuan won't give it to me, then I'll take it myself."

Yu Xiaoheng's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.

"From today onwards, Luoxia Town."

Yu Xiaoheng raised his hand and pointed to the floor tiles under his feet.

"Including this chamber of commerce, and all the mines outside."

"To incorporate them all."

……

The Qibao Chamber of Commerce's plaque was smashed to the ground and broke in two.

The Third Elder sat on a rosewood chair that had just been moved from the Chamber of Commerce, holding a thick ledger in his hand. He moistened his finger with saliva and flipped through it rapidly.

"Seven hundred thousand gold soul coins, thirty thousand catties of top-grade refined iron ore, and these dozen or so boxes of medicinal herbs over two thousand years old." The Third Elder laughed loudly, slapping his thigh and shouting to the Second Elder beside him, "Second Brother, our Blue Lightning Sect hasn't seen so much cash in all our lifetimes!"

The Second Elder stood to one side with his arms crossed, the purple flames on his body receding, but faint glimmers of light still shimmered beneath his skin. His body, after tempering, was even more upright than before, and his expression was invigorated.

"This is all thanks to the eldest young master." The second elder looked at Yu Xiaoheng, who was standing at the entrance of the town.

Yu Xiaoheng had his hands tucked into his sleeves, his black hair swaying slightly in the wind. His gaze wasn't fixed on the money, but rather on the undulating mountains in the distance.

"Listen up, everyone." Yu Xiaoheng withdrew his gaze, his voice calm, yet it reached the ears of every Blue Lightning disciple.

“We’re taking Ning Zhenyuan’s assets, as well as the resources from the sects that besieged the Blue Lightning Sect and the Empire. You can’t touch a single penny of the common people or ordinary rogue soul masters in Luoxia Town.”

Yu Xiaoheng pointed to the scattered coins and medicinal herbs on the ground: "If anyone dares to rob ordinary people and ruin the sect's reputation, I will personally take action and burn their martial spirit with purple fire."

These words made the Blue Lightning disciples, who were initially overly excited, shudder and they all bowed their heads in agreement.

Chapter 566 Yu Xiaoheng's Time Is Running Out

The news that the Blue Lightning Sect had forcefully taken over the Luoxia Town branch of the Seven Treasures Chamber of Commerce spread like wildfire throughout the entire continent in just a few days.

However, this is just the beginning.

Seven days after the Luoxia Town Chamber of Commerce was seized, the Black Tiger Sect, one of the four lower sects, welcomed an envoy from the Blue Lightning Sect.

Gengxin City. Black Tiger Sect Headquarters.

Black Tiger Sect Master Hei Kui stared at the contract in the hall bearing the seal of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Master. His large hand trembled slightly on the table, but he dared not slap it down.

Opposite Hei Kui, the Second Elder of the Blue Lightning Sect sat calmly, a faint purple light flickering around him. It was the aura of someone who had been tempered by the Heavenly Punishment Purple Flame; beneath his skin and flesh, there seemed to be explosive power.

"Sect Master Hei Kui, what's your decision?" The Second Elder's voice was unreadable. "From today onwards, all seventeen metal mines in Gengxin City, as well as your six iron workshops in the Heaven Dou Empire, will be renamed Yu."

"Aren't you Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan going too far?!" A Soul Douluo elder from the Black Tiger Clan could no longer contain himself. He suddenly stood up, his martial soul Black Tiger appearing behind him, his soul power surging in the hall. "This is Gengxin City, not your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's territory!"

The Second Elder didn't even lift his eyelids.

A man in black robes standing beside him moved.

A long, lightning-infused blade, reeking of blood, appeared out of thin air, leaving a pale trail of light in its wake.

"Pfft!"

Blood splattered everywhere, and before the Black Tiger Sect's Soul Douluo elder could even defend himself, his entire right arm was severed off.

"Ah!" A scream echoed throughout the hall.

"Before you make a move, you'd better consider whether your Black Tiger Sect can withstand the Sect Master's wrath." The Second Elder flicked his nails, looking calmly at the pale-faced Hei Kui. "The Sect Master is resting at the inn outside the city. Sect Master Hei Kui, should I ask the Eldest Young Master to come and talk to you personally?"

Upon hearing the words "Sect Master," Hei Kui's body trembled involuntarily.

Yu Xiaoheng.

The Death Canyon severely injured seven Soul Douluos, and at the gate of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, it forcefully repelled the combined forces of Qian Daoliu and Tang Wei, even using a monster that had melted the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul and the Clear Sky Hammer.

Who dares to talk to him?

“…Here.” Hei Kui practically spat out the word through gritted teeth. He slumped into his chair, looking as if he had aged ten years in an instant. “The entire Black Tiger Sect’s assets are yours to offer up.”

The same scene unfolded in succession at the Wind Sword Sect, Elephant Armor Sect, and Fire Leopard Sect.

The Wind Sword Sect was forced to relinquish their prized sword workshop and their accumulated fine iron.

Under the overwhelming pressure of Elder Lan Dian, the Elephant Armor Sect had most of its treasure vault emptied.

The Fire Leopard Sect fared even worse. When they saw the lingering power of the purple flames that were subtly suppressing the Blue Lightning Sect disciples, the Fire Leopard Sect Master led his core members to retreat and relinquish their large trade routes.

The businesses of the four lower sects were forcibly torn apart and swallowed up in the face of Yu Xiaoheng's infamous reputation.
