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

"In this way, the Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the Clear Sky School are now completely separated geographically."

We're completely disorganized now, even communication has become difficult. The fate of the world has already fallen into the hands of our Blue Lightning Sect!

Yu Xiaoheng looked indifferently at the Blue Lightning disciples who were heading towards Xingluo Imperial City to clear out supplies.

"This is just the beginning."

Yu Xiaoheng turned around and looked north.

"Young Master, what are the next instructions?"

The Second Elder asked for instructions.

Yu Xiaoheng took a deep breath.

"Harvest the Star Luo Empire's treasury and transport all the refined iron and aged herbs back to the sect."

He ordered all disciples to continue their intensive training. "We must cultivate a group of truly powerful individuals capable of sweeping across the continent as quickly as possible."

"Yes!"

The Second Elder respectfully accepted the order.

That night, the imperial city of Xingluo was brightly lit.

Boxes of gold soul coins confiscated from the national treasury and rare medicinal herbs of extremely high age were continuously loaded onto carriages under the supervision of the Blue Lightning disciples.

The officials and nobles of the Star Luo Empire stood trembling on both sides, watching as the empire's wealth was emptied, but not one dared to utter a sound.

Because high above their heads, the enormous shadow of a purple-gold dragon was silently circling.

Tian Dou City, a bustling commercial center on the west side. This was originally the headquarters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the largest auction house and merchant guild in the Tian Dou Empire.

Now, the gate has been smashed to pieces by lightning.

Hundreds of Blue Lightning Sect disciples poured in.

"Rebels, kill!"

Yu Kuang, the leader of the Blue Lightning Sect's Battle Hall, held his blood-stained back-splitting broadsword high.

There were more than a dozen corpses of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School guards lying on the ground.

Their martial spirits were shattered by the violent lightning, leaving charred holes in their chests.

Yu Kuang stepped over the pool of blood on the ground.

At the far end of the Chamber of Commerce's hall, hundreds of unarmed men, women, and children huddled in a corner.

These people were the managers, accountants, appraisers, and their families of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School of Commerce.

A bloodthirsty red light flashed in Yu Kuang's eyes.

He strode to the front of the crowd.

“Master, these are all ordinary employees and their families of the Seven Treasures Chamber of Commerce. They have no soul power and are not carrying any weapons.”

A disciple of Blue Lightning stepped forward to report.

Yu Kuang gave a cold laugh.

"If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze."

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has been sucking the blood of the entire continent by relying on these merchant guilds over the years, and these people are their henchmen."

"I wonder what that old bastard Ning Zhenyuan would think if he knew we had uprooted his chamber of commerce."

Yu Kuang raised the back-splitting broadsword in his hand.

Lightning flashed on the blade.

"Kill them all."

Yu Kuang issued the order.

"Leave no one alive."

The Blue Lightning disciples summoned their martial spirits one after another.

Violent lightning crackled and lashed across the spacious hall, forming a deadly electric grid.

The women and children in the corner let out desperate screams.

Several elderly accountants closed their eyes, awaiting death.

Just then.

A beam of purple-gold light descended from the sky, shattering the dome of the Chamber of Commerce.

The lightning net instantly collapsed in front of this purple-gold pillar of light.

The greatsword in Yu Kuang's hand was knocked out of his grasp by a tremendous force and fell with a clatter to the bluestone floor more than ten meters away.

The audience was silent.

Amidst the billowing dust, a figure dressed in a black outfit slowly walked towards them.

Yu Xiaoheng's face was calm, with his hands behind his back.

Purple-gold lightning swirled around his shoulders, emitting subtle popping sounds.

"Young Master!"

Upon recognizing the person who had arrived, Yu Kuang immediately knelt on one knee.

The Blue Lightning disciples around them also knelt down.

Yu Xiaoheng walked up to Yu Kuang.

His gaze fell on the trembling chamber of commerce employees.

"Who gave you permission to touch these ordinary people?"

Yu Xiaoheng's voice was flat and even, yet it sent a shiver down Yu Kuang's spine.

"Young Master, they are from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Yu Kuang raised his head, attempting to explain.

"Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is now at war with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, and these members of the Chamber of Commerce are the foundation of our enemy."

"If we don't kill them all, they will definitely find a chance to retaliate once they recover."

"My subordinate advocates a large-scale massacre for the future of the sect, to eliminate any potential threats!"

Yu Xiaoheng looked at Yu Kuang.

"You mean, these accountants and women and children who don't even have soul power can pose a threat to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"

Yu Kuang was momentarily stunned by the question.

"But they are loyal to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School..."

Yu Xiaoheng shook his head.

"Their loyalty is only to the employer who gives them gold soul coins."

"Yu Kuang, remember this."

"We are unifying the continent and plundering resources, not being butchers."

"If we kill all these people, who will run our chambers of commerce, banks, and auction houses all over the continent?"

"Will you be the one to use the abacus, or will the Second Elder be the one to stand behind the counter?"

Yu Kuang lowered his head, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

"Your subordinate knows he was wrong."

Yu Xiaoheng turned around and faced the terrified members of the Chamber of Commerce.

"The ringleaders must be punished, but those who are coerced will not be questioned."

"Kill the direct descendants of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the resisting Soul Masters."

"As for you employees, you can live as long as you hand over the ledgers and join my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

"Not only will you live, but your monthly pay will be doubled."

A burst of sobs erupted from the crowd in the corner.

Several older shopkeepers took the lead in kneeling on the ground and kowtowing repeatedly.

"Thank you for sparing my life, young master!"

"We are willing to hand over the ledgers and serve the Blue Lightning Sect!"

Yu Xiaoheng glanced at Yu Kuang.

"Send someone to take over the ledgers and the treasury."

"Anyone who dares to raise a butcher's knife against these ordinary people again will be dealt with according to clan rules."

Yu Kuang immediately clasped his hands in acceptance of the order and began to systematically take over the Chamber of Commerce's assets with his subordinates.

Yu Xiaoheng walked out of the Chamber of Commerce.

Blue Lightning Sect's flags fluttered in the wind on the streets.

He remained ruthless through reason, and on the battlefield, he could unleash the Heavenly Dragon Annihilation Slash without hesitation, turning 30,000 cavalrymen into a rain of blood.

But he is also an ordinary person with a set of values ​​and principles developed through modern education.

Killing is for becoming stronger, for establishing authority, and for clearing obstacles.

But meaningless indiscriminate killing will only plunge sects into a mad abyss, causing them to lose the foundation for ruling the world.

The following month.

The operation to annex the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's assets is progressing smoothly across the entire continent.

From the far north province of the Heaven Dou Empire to the southern coast of the Star Luo Empire.

Every city, every mine.

All properties bearing the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda symbol were taken over by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan with overwhelming force.

The once arrogant Seven Treasures Caravan was intercepted by the Blue Lightning disciples.
