Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant

No one understands those Soul Master families better than Prince Avalanche; they are capable of anything for profit.

"It's alright, I've only been here a short time myself. You can focus on your work without worry. Don't worry about safety; I, as your special advisor, will ensure your safety."

Dong Qing subtly pried open Prince Xue Beng's hands. He didn't like men touching him, even if it was just a polite touch, it would still make him feel a chill.

"That's good, that's good. With Your Highness Dongqing here, we can rest assured."

Prince Avalanche almost knelt down before Dongqing; that was exactly what he had been waiting for.

Don't think that his status as an imperial prince is very prestigious. Compared to soul master families or aristocratic clans, it's actually not a remarkable status at all.

......

at the same time.

Hanhai City, Martial Soul Branch Hall.

"Don't worry, for so many years, as the lowest-ranking sheriff, you've been active on the front lines, trying to bring down the several Soul Master families that stand tall in Hanhai City. If it weren't for me taking care of you all these years, they probably would have already..."

The speaker was an elderly man in his sixties or seventies with white hair and beard. His soul power was around level thirty-five, and he was also the hall master of the Martial Soul Branch Hall of Hanhai City.

"Uncle, I understand, but now the opportunity has come. The joint investigation committee has come to Hanhai City to investigate corruption and thoroughly investigate the criminal gangs. None of these evil soul master families can escape."

This is a middle-aged man, also known as Anxin by the Hall Master of the Martial Soul Branch Hall of Hanhai City.

Strangely, he looked to be only in his thirties, yet his hair had turned white, making him appear as if he had aged twenty years out of nowhere.

"The first batch of people from the Joint Investigation Committee have already died in Soto City. This is the second batch. How long do you think they can live?" asked the Hall Master of the Martial Soul Branch Hall in Hanhai City.

"With Prince Dongqing here, Uncle, I believe that this time, the Joint Investigation Committee will not encounter any more accidents." The middle-aged man named Anxin spoke with a firm tone.

"Don't worry, you're not a member of the Spirit Hall, yet you trust Prince Dongqing so much?" the Spirit Hall Master of the Hanhai City branch asked again.

“Ever since the Spirit Hall suffered divine punishment and His Highness Dongqing led troops to clean up those Soul Master families who dared to plunder the local Spirit Hall branches, I have discovered that he is a person with a strong sense of justice,” An Xin said earnestly.

"Where did you come to this conclusion?" asked the Hall Master of the Martial Soul Branch Hall in Hanhai City, puzzled.

“He never harms the innocent,” An Xin replied without hesitation.

"That's all?"

"That's all."

Chapter 672, He's Here.

The next day, at noon.

Outside the city of Hanhai, on a deserted beach.

Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun each led several female soul masters, all dressed in revealing clothing. They stood on opposite sides, a white volleyball flying back and forth in their hands.

That's right.

This is beach volleyball. Dong Qing brought beach volleyball from the Earth in the Super God Universe to this world. At this moment, he is sitting alone on the high platform as the referee.

"Good shot, good shot."

Dong Qing clapped his hands vigorously, his words carrying a double meaning.

After receiving praise from Dong Qing, Zhu Zhuqing, who had just scored a goal, smiled slightly and looked at Zhu Zhuyun, who was somewhat unconvinced, with a slightly provocative gaze.

Including the sisters, there were twelve female Soul Masters present, but the sisters alone stood out because of the exaggerated size of their chests, which made people's hearts flutter.

Speaking of which, these ten female soul masters are none other than those from sects under Dong Qing's command, including the leopard girl from the Fire Leopard Sect, the antelope girl from the Rock Antelope Sect, and the bee girl from the Sparrow Peak Sect.

Their martial soul characteristics are mainly speed, and they are mainly responsible for handling some bloody and unclean matters, but to be honest, each of them has a unique style.

The leopard woman is voluptuous, the antelope woman is tall, and the bee woman is slender.

of course.

Compared to the two big cats on the court, especially in terms of the size of the volleyball, they were far inferior.

......

that's it.

Time passed silently for a while.

Xue Ke flapped her swan wings and descended from the sky to Dong Qing's side.

She is not very strong; her martial soul is a swan.

At first, she was just a minor fourth-ring Soul Master. Later, after being nourished by the life essence of a pure-blooded Heavenly Horned Ant, she successfully broke through to the fifth-ring Soul King realm.

"Dongqing, won't it have a bad influence if we keep having fun like this?" Xueke asked with a guilty expression.

The reason she felt guilty was simple.

While Xue Beng, along with dozens of people from the joint investigation team under the Joint Investigation Committee, was working hard to investigate corruption in Han Hai City, he and Dong Qing were slacking off and having fun.

Dong Qing glanced at Xue Ke and then said, "Xue Ke, just play with peace of mind. You have to understand that if I personally intervene, these Soul Master families will go completely mad. They will disregard everything and embark on a path of no return, even using the lives of ordinary people as leverage."

It seemed that he realized Xueke hadn't understood.

He continued, "Remember, after the divine punishment, those soul master families who plundered the Martial Soul Branch Hall have been wiped out by me. Their fear of me is far greater than you can imagine. Now that I am stationed in the rear, I am the greatest deterrent to them."

"Also, Xue Ke, you need to know that the Qinghe Emperor doesn't want to completely wipe out all the Soul Master families, but both I and the Qinghe Emperor herself understand that Soul Master families cannot be completely cleansed. They are like weeds, they will grow back after the spring breeze."

"Even if all Soul Master families are eradicated indiscriminately, they will eventually rise from the ashes. Therefore, the Qinghe Emperor only wants to cleanse those Soul Master families that have committed heinous crimes, leaving some Soul Master families whose crimes are not so serious."

As Dong Qing himself said.

If he were to personally appear, those Soul Master families would be terrified. Back when he was cleaning up those Soul Master families who had plundered the Spirit Hall, he didn't know what it meant to show mercy.

Once it was confirmed that a Soul Master family had caused casualties among the local Martial Soul Branch Hall personnel, Dong Qing took drastic measures and beheaded all members of the Soul Master family involved in the looting.

During the time when divine punishment descended from heaven.

Dong Qing had also visited Han Hai City once. According to the investigation, a total of five Soul Master families participated in the raid on the Han Hai City Martial Soul Branch Hall, resulting in the deaths of 452 low-level deacons of the Martial Soul Hall.

In this regard.

Dong Qing showed no mercy, spouting righteousness and morality, beheading tens of thousands of people from five Soul Master families, each with an average of two thousand members.

These people were not killed by Dong Qing himself. Even if he killed 10,000 people from morning till night, he still couldn't finish. It was his 5,000 elite cavalrymen who did the killing.

The Spirit Hall Guardian Knights

The Spirit Hall's Guardian Knights, with a full strength of 30,000 men and an average spirit power level of over 30, once spun off a 10,000-man knightly unit [which has now returned], assigning 5,000 each to Dong Qing and Hu Liena to clean up the evil spirit master families that had looted the Spirit Hall's branch during the Heavenly Tribulation and Divine Punishment within the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.

..........

Xueke reluctantly believed Dongqing's explanation, but she still felt that Dongqing was just lazy and didn't want to deal with these things, and it wasn't as simple as he said.

And at this time.

The temporary headquarters of the joint investigation committee.

“Prince Avalanche, this is the information we have obtained from our preliminary investigation. There were originally ten Soul Master families in Hanhai City. However, during the Spirit Hall’s divine punishment, Prince Dongqing eliminated five Soul Master families that had plundered the Spirit Hall branch in Hanhai City. Now, only five Soul Master families remain.”

A very young-looking man, holding a large stack of documents, breathlessly recounted his findings.

"Five Soul Master families?" Prince Xue Beng frowned.

At this moment, his heart was pounding, and he felt like he had come to a ghostly place.

What kind of place is Hanhai City that it has so many Soul Master families? An inland city can only house two or three Soul Master families at most.

This is normal. After all, the benefits generated by a city are limited, and at most two or three Soul Master families are allowed to share them. Soul Master families from outside simply cannot enter.

At its peak, the coastal city of Hanhai was home to ten Soul Master families. It's hard to imagine how chaotic and treacherous Hanhai City must have been back then.

If it weren't for Prince Dongqing having already wiped out five Soul Master families back then...

At this point, the young imperial prince, Avalanche, dared not think any further.

but.

Although Xue Beng dared not think any further, the young man beside him took the initiative to recount all the information they had found to the young imperial prince.

"The Gao family, headed by Gao Qiqiang, has a private merchant guild called Qiangsheng Merchant Guild, which secretly has a very close relationship with those two people at Tiandou Auction House."

"The Meng family, headed by Meng Dehai, owns a large fleet of ships that specialize in highly profitable maritime businesses. I've heard they have a close relationship with the Purple Pearl Pirate Gang."

"The Xu family, headed by Xu Jiang, mainly engages in various brothels and low-class prostitution, and it is very common for them to force or even traffic women."

"The Wu family, headed by Wu Zhong..."

"The Zhao family, headed by Zhao Lidong..."

have to say.

The members of the joint investigation committee were highly capable; in just one day, they had a general understanding of the basic situation of the five major soul master families in Hanhai City.

......

The Gao family.

"I heard that Prince Dongqing has arrived?"

"Shuting, don't worry. Our backer has a very close relationship with Prince Dongqing now. Besides, we're not like Xu Jiang, who would do anything to make money. Over the years, I've listened to you and haven't even been involved in the slave trade. It's all been legitimate business."

“Brother, although the people now respect him as the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, you and I both know that he is a cold-blooded killing god. Back then, those five families had tens of thousands of people, and when he ordered them to be killed, he didn’t even blink.”

"But he's fair. He hasn't messed with any of the Soul Master families who didn't attack the Martial Soul Branch Hall in Hanhai City. Are you worried that Prince Dongqing will attack us for no reason?"

Meng family.

"He's here."

"Dad, who did you say came?"

"Dong Qing, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall".

"Really?"

"Xiao Yu, don't act recklessly. Later, arrange for someone to inform Purple Pearl, the leader of the Purple Pearl Pirate Gang. The person she's waiting for has arrived."

"Dad, who exactly is she?"

"This is a long story. Xiaoyu, all you need to know is that the previous Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall was Bibi Dong, who is now the world-renowned Pope. The current Holy Maiden, Hu Liena, was her disciple. As for Zi Zhenzhu, she was the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall who was between Bibi Dong and Hu Liena."

"Since she is the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, why is she not very famous?"

"Hmph, if she had a great reputation, how could Hu Liena, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, possibly be qualified to sit in the position of Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall?"
